It is an interesting scientific fact,
and one not generally known, that
nothing that falls from the mouth Of
the deepest mining shaft in the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous Red
Jacket shaft Of the Big Calumet. The
article, no matter what shape or size
1t may be. is invariably found clinging
to the east side of the shaft.

suspended about twelve feet below
the mouth of the shaft. When the
marble was absolutely still, assuring
that 1t would drop straight down, the
thread was burned through by the
flame of a candle. The marble fell.

the British embassy are the features
of a program for Prince Louis of Bat

here in a special train over the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad shortly. He
will be driven to the British embassy
for luncheon, and later will be receiv-
ed formally and welcomed to the ma
tons capital by President Roosevelt.
Oficials OF this government and
Ambassador Durand are planning to
do the prince great honor on the oc-
casion of his three days visit here.
While pains have been taken to give
no official color to Prince Louis visit
TO Washington. an impressive feature
will be the presentation by the prince
Of friendly letter of greeting from
King Edward to President Roosevelt.

and Count Iamsdorff and Sir Charles

Russia, also discussed the subject
without formally. committing them

Great Britain should formulate and
submit propositions as a basis for
negotiations and there the matter
rests.

Errors Contributed Greatly to Toso's

Errors Contributed Greatly to Toso's
Decisive Victory.
A French naval officer has been at
tempting TO explain the collapse of
some OF the Russian line of battle
ships in the fight in the Sea of ia
pan. He said that, from their design.
:, number of ships had only a moder-
ate degree of stability They were
top-heavy and some OF them rolled
so mnch on the voyage out that the
officers were afraid they would turn
turtle. When large amount of coal
was taken on board, some even be-
ing carried on deck, the vessels were
submerged to we'll below their ordi-
nary water line and as a result the
ships were crank and their water line
armament IN some cases submerged.
This deep loading caused the vessels
to roll, and. in the opinion of the
French expert, holes made by the
shells from the Japanese feet were
thus frequently under water, which,
with the vessels in. ordinary trim,
would not have been the case AS the
fire Of the Japanese was naturally
directed at the bows of the approach
ing Russian ships their forward COM
partmentS filed first and the ships
went down by the head and capsized.
