The language of ship Is language
Of signs. But notwithstanding this
circumstance, all possible questions
may be asked and answered, and every
item Of information given in the full
est degree by its medium, even though
the eonversing crafts be miles asun-
der.
The alphabet Of this silent tongue Is
usually flags Of various shapes and
colors. But should the distance be-
tween the ships, or between the ship
and a signaling station, be too great
for colors to be distinguished, or
should the wind be blowing between
the two 80 that the flags are end on,
one Of two other methods must be
adopted. The first Is to represent each
letter by combinations Of three shapes
"a cone, ball and a drum. The Sec
ond 1s to make use of a semaphore
having three arms, the positions Of
which with regard to one side or the
other of the post, and whether they
are horizontal, upturned or downturn
ed, Indicate the letter desired.
AS the ships which speak to each
other are frequently Of different ma
t1onalities, 1t is necessary that the sig
nal should be international or common
to all; and this is so. And another de-
s1rable thing is also provided.
1t may occur to you that If mes
sage, even one Of brief length, were
to be spelt out letter by letter, the
operation would be exceedingly tire

could be Ill afforded. To remove these

Of teachers employed the United States
leads the world, although in nearly
every civilized country the greater
part of the teaching Is done by WON
en-. This is in line with the general
tendency toward the advancement of
woman to better place in this coun-
try. In 1890 the number Of women in
paying, positions in this country was
3,914,571, and in 1900 this number had
increased to b,829,sO7. However, as
the number of men in paying positions

"What ia our greatest help in cap
turing crtminalsH Why, their vanity.
Of course" said the detective. "Men
and women who make crime a busl-
ness are always proud Of their work
when it is well done, according to
criminal standards, and sooner or later
they brag Of 1t and it gets to our
ears. Even men who commit unpre-
meditated crimes seem unable to keen
their doings to themselves, and If they
DO not openly boast they give out
mysterious hints that rouse suspicion
and bring about surveillance. Then,
again. no matter how well a crime is
planned, there is nearly always an IN
foressen contingency to be met, and
Sts the failure to take precautions
against the ono contingency that gives
many a clew."

It is easy to get married in thi.
country. Perhaps there is nothing
easier. 1t was thought for while
that Johann Hoch, Chicago's leading
b1gamist, did pretty well when he mar
ried seventeen women in three years
Chicago doubted If any other city could
produce a record that would beat that
It seems, however, that Mr.. Hoch's
performance was neither unique nor
extraordinary. / develops that DR..
George A. Witzhofr, of New York,
has record as a marrying man which
makes that Of Mr.. Hoch look like the
traditional "thirty cents" Dr. Witz-
hoR is believed to have participated as
a principal in at least twenty-five mar
riages, and he has hired gentlemen to
get married for him on the 100 or
more occasions when 1t has not been
convenient for him to go through the
ceremony personally. From the 1875
women whom he bigamously married
himself and to whom he supplied big
amous husbands, 1t is thought DR.,
Witzhoff got 10000 in cash and jewel
ry. Like Mr.. Hoch, he found the busi-
ness Of wholesale marrying profitable
as well as pleasant. According to Mrs.
Charlotte Smith, president of the
Woman's International Rescue League,
there lately have been numerous In
dustr1ous workers IN the matrimonial
vineyard besides Mr.. Hoch and DR..
Witzhoff. "There are to-day in the
United states," she asserts, mo less
than $4,000 women who have been
married, robbed and deserted by pro-
fessionaI bigamists." 1t might be in
ferred from this that women are much
easier to entice into matrimony than
men. Probably, however, this 1s an
conclusion. When a woman
does start on marrying bent, mere men
fall before her like grain before q
sickle. Miss Marion Rapp, now under
arrest at Philadelphia, is known to
have got eight husbands In three
years, and is suspected Of having cap
tured some six or eight more. Miss
Rapp is still young, and If her career
ndA AOL DSOA uuLIuCIy cut OA BuO
might have made record that would
have done credit to her sex. The sad
of the numerous people
who have been victimized by gay de-
ceivers, male and female, perhaps con-
tain lesson to careless persons con-
matrimony. When a stran-
ger comes along and proposes mar
1age at first sight it may possibly be
lust as we'll to take a look into his
" her antecedents. This 1s not the
most romantic way to proceed, but it
s a way that may prove to have great
practical advantages. 1t probably
would be indorsed by every one of the
10000 women in this country who,
according to Mrs. Charlotte Smith, are
low looking for professional bigamists
Who married them and ran away with
heir cash.

than week fierce fighting has been
going on between the rival factions
In Baku, the great oil city on the shore
Of the Caspian, and in a score or more
Of scattered villages. The principal
cause Of the outbreak, according to
st. Petersburg advices, Is the Moslem
hatred Of the Armenians. The Tartars,
who are followers of the prophet, are
cruel and rebellious people, brooking
restraint Of any kind and intensely
hating the Christians. How the first
clash between the factions occurred is
not stated III the reports coming from
the scene Of hostilities, but the dis
turbance, once started, spread like
wildfre, until Baku and scores Of 9TH
er places were experiencing all the
horrors Of actual war.
While Baku was the storm center of
the fighting, there was great slaughter
IN outlying towns and throughout the
whole oil region. In the village of
Shusha the fighting between Tartars
and Armenians continued five days
and several hundred persons were
killed or wounded Almost the entire
town was destroyed by incendiaries,
the government buildings, churches and
schools having been burned. A score
Of other places shared somewhat
similar fate. A large number of the
people in Duduktkhu, Achilla. Ed1lu
and Bnkutan were slaughtered and
the villages having been plundered by
the Iartars were then set on fire.
AT Balakhan serious conflict oc-
CURED between 1000 Armenians and
the government troops which had been
dispatched to maintain order Orders
had been given to the soldiers to shoot
down all rioters, whether Tartars or
others, and the Armenians, on refusing
TO d1sperse, were raked with artillery
Ihat the Armenians, however, are
capable Of giving good account of
themselves Is evidenced by the fact
that in the Baku district thev have
killed or wounded 1900 Tartars.
Inc government troops sent to the
disturbed region have proved unable tn
restore order and heavy reinforce
ments are now arriving at Baku. That
city Is utterly demoralized. Incen-
diary tires have laid a considerable
portion of 1t in ashes, and hundreds Of
tanks filled with oil and naphtha have
neen destroyed. Hundreds of ref1neries
IN and about Baku have been hurnod
