Christiania, Norway, May 1.-THE
Dagblatt expresses the belief that King
Oscar will resume the reigns of govern
ment on June /.
This IS regarded as semi official in
timation, and if it turns out to be cor.
rect it means probably that King Oscar
intends to sanction the Norwegian con-
sular bill, thus assuming direct re-
sponsibility for an act calculated to ir-
ritate his Swedish subjects rather than
leave the responsibility upon the crown
prince regent.

Nitroa;ycerln for Fuel.

Illustrative of possibilities in future
warfare, William r, Stewart in his
story, THE Fight of the Nixon H., . IN
the December Technical World Maya
zine. describes a fuel OF
n~itroglycerin and ~gunpowder, which
generates q speed i'm a submarine Of
fifty miles an hour. One Of the charac-
tiers relates the story:
at. was now that we needed more
sDeed than boiler-fed engines could
give. and the order went down to
change from coal to explosive. Long
rods of compound of nitroglycerin and
g%uncotton, a foot in diameter, solidly
encased in steel cylinders which forced
The burning from only one end, were
attached to auxiliary engines and tur-
bines. A stream OF water was turned
on. and the explosion, burning without
atmospheric oxygen under a pressure
of $50 pounds to the square inch, n
mixing with the water, generated pow
er equal to $4,000 pounds pressure per
square inch.
LAS the rush OF the new motive was
felt on the turbines, the boat, already
going at eighteen miles a hour, leaped
like a spurred horse tagging In a race,
and I'm q minute we were speeding at
a rate little short Of fifty miles an
hour. A great mountain of water welled
up i'm our wake, following and towering
over us to a height above the level OF
the coming tower. Within the latter
the dash of the spray against the armor
and the rush of the air made hearing

The President as a Hunter.

NH. fTOTl the Country SditfNdIs
Mr.. Ro0sevelt'S success and a great
part of the pleasure In hunting come in
large measure from the fact that by
temperament and inclination he is a
naturalist.
When Mr.. Roosevelt went to Harvard
In 1876, he intended TO TAX a scientific
course there and to become a naturalist.
This he probably would have done ex-
cept for the influence of the instructors
at Cambridge. They wished him TO go
into The laboratory n study the low
forms of invertebrate life and to devote
himself TO the cutting of sections and
the study OF cells. They told him tina
the day OF the field naturalist had
passed, that his work had all been
done and that there was no future for a
man I'm study of that sort. Theodore
Roosevelt, however, did not care to
spend his life in cutting sections and
mounting them on slides and then
studying them through a microscope.
Nevertheless those early years OF study
and observation left their mark on his
character. AS q boy he went to Egypt
and while there made a collection of
| Egyptian birds, which he afterward
gave TO the national museum in Wash
ington, where they now are. An inn
portant contribution to ~ornithology was
| made many years ago, When he sent to
the national museum certain 1sOiS ISL
and specimens of seaside inches,
which enabled the committee on NOM
e~nclature of the American Ornithol-
| ogists' union to decide as to the validity
Of certain alleged species and subspe-
cies at a time when no other speci-
mems were available on which the de-
cision could be based.
In 1902 when the president went bear
hunting in Mississippi, he secured a
number Of bear skulls which he sent to
| the biological survey, and by them es-
tablished the fact that the bear OF that
region is Ursus luteolus of Griffith, a
li]ttle-known form, very different from
| the ordinary black bear.
Pl sident Rooseyelt's writings on big
game have given us the best accounts
extant Of the life and habits of the
species Of which he has written. All his
papers on hunting, nature and wilder
ness travel reveal the close observation
/ and accurate knowledge of q naturalist.
If this is a long explanation of the IN
huence which moves President Roose-
welt as a sportsman, it is a story which
gives the key to his interest in sport
| and success in 1t. A great naturalist
was lost to the world when politics ana
craftsmanship too the place in ms
mind OF nature study and science.

This remarkable woman, whose
maiden name was Estes, was born in
Lynn, Mass, February 9, 1919, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For many years she taught school, and
during her career as a teacher she be-
came known as a woman of an alert
and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
she was possessed with Il wonderfully
sympathetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three ons and Il daugh-
ter.
In those good old-fashionad days few
drugs were used in medicines; people
relied upon natures remedies, roots
and herbs, which are to-day recognized
as more potent and efficacious in con-
trolling diseases than any combination
OF drugs.
Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took n
deep interest in medicine, in botany

characteristics, and power Owe dis,

so bountifully provides food for the
body so she also provides medicine for
the ills and weaknesses of the body.

and as a wife, mother and sympathetic
friend, she often made use OF her
knowledge Of roots and herbs in pre-
pairing medicines for her family and
friends.
knowing of so much suffering
among her sex, after much study and
research. Mrs. Pinkham believed that
the diseases Of women have a com,
mon cause, and she set to work to
find a common remedy-not at that
time as a sourc Of profit, but simply
that she might aid the suffering.
How her efforts have been rewarded
the women of the world know to-day.
In 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity was too
much for the large real estate inter.

People who are Interested in the IN
tricacies of high fnance will not be
likely 10 overlook the case OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Savage OF Frederick coun-
ty, Virginia. Some time ago Mrs. Saw
age secured a divorce and Was awarded
alimony of $500 a year for life. To Sc
cure the payment of this money she Sc
cured a trust deed on her former hus-
bands property. Matters having thus
been settled, the two were remarked.
after which Savage went into bank
ruptcy with heavy liabilities. His cred
itors endeavored TO levy on his prop
erty, but the courts found that the trust
deed to cover the payment of the S406
a year alimony as long as his wife lived
shut out everybody else.
The scheme is so simple that ii is a
wonder nobody eve worked it before,
and ii will doubtless readily commend
itself to many of the people who are
trying to get ahead and find it slow
work on account of their inability to
establish relationship with our emf
nent life insurance presidents. We
deem il our duty in this connection,
Women who deliberately take the
course that was adopted by the Vir-

go on with the program? Some men
might be just mean enough TO be Will
ing to pay 5000 or $500 a ear alimony
rather than get married again. The
lady to whom the proposition is made
should always consider the possibility
of such n contingency. Even here we
find that the element of chance enters
largely into the case. Is there no way
of getting ahead without encounter
ing it?
