Lessons From the Japanese Navy.

NEW YORK. June 14.-Orders were
received at the New York navy yard
today from the navy department at
Washington to remove the guns from
the fighting tops of the battleship
Alabama. Orders have been issued
also that the guns are to be replaced
on the fighting tops Of the battleship
Indiana. which is being repaired. 1t
is reported that the guns are to be- re.
placed by ranyefinders and that SINH.
lar orders were to be issued regarding
other battleship,. The news of the
victory of Admiral Togo in the battle
Of the Sea of Japan is said to have
influenced the decision to put range
finders in place Of the oue-pounders
which have occupied the tops.
The fate of the battle was decided
by the superiority of the work Of the
japanese gunners while the ships were
still at long range. The department,
was informed that the aim of the Jap
anese gunners was due to the efficiency
of the men with the rangefinders, which
the japanese had placed in the fight.

The title "Old Man of the Mountain"

ty in Syria \. D. 1000. He was the

implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that If they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys Of

Flag Is 1928 Years Old.

WASHINGTON, June l4.-All over
tie country this mornings sunrise was
marked by a raising of flags, in
greater numbers and with more cere-
mony than on any other day of the
year, except, perhaps, July i. Today
is Flag Day, the l2Sth anniversary of
the enactment by congress that the flag
should consist of thirteen stripes, al.
ternate red and white, and a union of
thirteen white stars in a blue field.
Thirty-ive years later congress or.
dered that a new star should be added
for each new state admitted into the
Union. There are thirty-two more
stars in the field now than when the
flag was first raised, and within an.
other year the number will still be
further increased by the admission OF
existing territories into the sisterhood
Of states.

She EntoInhS Living Spiders ns Food
For Nc Young.
When summer warmth has awakened
the maternal instincts of the insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin of
stream, pool or puddle. Filling her
mandibles, which serve as both spade
and hod, she bears the load Of mud to
some rough surface. rock OF wall or
board or beam. She spreads and shapes
her mortar until. after many visits to
the mud bed. she has built a tubular
cell about an inch long and three
eighths of an inch wide.
Then her huntress instinct awakens
and her raids upon the spider realm be-
gin, for within this cylinder the moth
er mason will put a single egg. In
course Of time this will hatch into a
ravenous larva whose natural food Is
living spiders, and these the mother
proceeds to capture and entomb within
her mud daub nursery. On this errand
she may be seer hawking v e and

ing within the meshed and beaded
snares that prove fatal to most incom-
ers and sometimes even to herself. II
the occupant. expectant Of prey. sallies
forth to seize the intruder, it finds itself
a captive, not a captor. The wasp
shakes the silken f1lament from wings
and feet, turns upon the spider, seizes
and stings it, bears it to her cell and
thrusts it therein.-H. G.. McCook IN

p Is SUSPICIOUS.
Peace Conference Must Re HELD Under
Conditions That Are Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Russia's
formal response to President Roose.
velt's appeal to the far eastern bellig.
erents for q cessation of hostilities
has been communicated to the Toxic
government by the president.
Minister Takahira is inclined to
look askauce at the report Of the Rus.
sian note, which reads: LAS for an
eventual meeting OF Russian and Jap.
anese plenipotentiaries charged with
ascertaining how far it would be pos.
sible for the two powers to elaborate
conditions of peace, the imperial gov
eminent would have no objection in
principle to such an attempt If the
Japanese government expressed q de.
sire therefore,"
Japan has indicated plainly that If
there is a conference between it's pleni.
potentiaries and those Of Russia, it
must be held with the understanding
that a sincere effort to reach a per.
manent peace agreement is to be made.
She is willing to talk business with
Russian negotiators empowered to do
likewise, but she does not propose to
permit any unusual strings to be at.
tached to the Russian conferences
strings which may be pulled to her
ultimate disadvantage.
Japan will refuse to have the meet
ing place in Paris because it is the
capital Of Russia's ally aud also on
account of the great distance from ia.
pan and the delay involved. 1t is
known officially that three cities are
now under consideration .sThese cities,
named in the order of the, likelihood
of their final %selection,3 are Nv ashing-
ton, The Hague and Geneva.
Thus far no decision. has been
reached. Paris and London have been
eliminated from the question. It is
understood that the Russian govern
ment objects to an Asiatic city, its
preference being for Isome'lEuropean
capital. After objectingotol the hold
ing of the conference :in Paris, the
Japanese government expressed a will
lingness to consider other places which
afford adequate facilities, :although 1t
is assumed that Japan'sj preference
would be some far eastern city prac.
tically within the theater of war.
Finally, however, the selection seems
to have narrowed down to the three
cities named. Objections have been
made by the Japanese to- The Hague,
but it is not believed that those obiec-
tions are fundamental or %unalterable.
However, Is the situation now is,
Washington appears to be the city
most likely to be selected. 1t can be
said on good authority that if the
conference is held in the United States
it will be in Washington. No other
place in this country has been con.
sidered seriously.
