False Reports of Naval Desertions

False Reports of Naval Desert1ons.
Recent sensational reports of deser-
tons from the United States navy are
said in Washington to be greatly eX-
aggerated The department records
show that during the past year the de-
sertions have been about 10 per cent
of the total The percentage is great
est among coal passers and least
among petty officers.
The navy department insists that the
enlisted men of our navy are not only
the best fed and cared for of any sail
ors in the world, but that their condi-
ton compares favorably in point of
compensation and opportunity with the
same class in civil life. Merchant
ships have about the same trouble with
coal passers that warships do. 1t Is
not to be wondered at that these men
get tired of their jobs. The heat of
the boiler room averages 100 degrees
and may run up to 100. When the men
get on land after long cruise it is not
surprising that they want to stay
ashore. Enthusiastic recruits for the
navy in the Spanish-Ameridan war lost
their war fever after a tour at coal
passing. Devices for handling coal by
machinery on board ship have long
been considered, but without success.

A member of the Canadian parlia-
ment recently raised note of alarm
as to the ownership of the north pole,
taking the ground that the United
States has deep designs with respect to
icy arctic. In the course of the de-
bate which followed it was agreed that
Canada owns the north pole simply be-
cause she owns territory adjacent to
polar waters. By the same course Of
reasoning other nations besides Great
Britain have claims on the frozen
north.
The United States territory of Alas
ka is adjacent to polar waters, SO is
Siberia, Greenland and Norway. Rus
STA, Denmark and Sweden-Norway
will be equally interested with the
United States in heading off the Cana
dian claim. If naval airships ever
start in business perhaps the first in
ternational scrap will be over this
unique dispute. 1t is not at all likely
that ordinary battleships will be able
to get together under the conditions
existing in polar waters.

Tunnel Building.

The piercing of the Alps at the Sim
plon pass, the bold railroad enterprise
to connect Manhattan and Long Is
land by subaqueous tubes and the
completion of the East Boston tunnel
under the Charles river have stimulat-
ed interest in this new means of com
munication, and daring engineers are
seeking new fields of conquest One
immediate effect of recent engineering
triumphs has been the revival of the
old plan for a tunnel under Boring
strait to furnish all rail communication
between the two hemispheres.
A more practical movement than the
Boring strait plan and one, like that,
to interest Canadians especially, is the
revival of the agitation among the
Prince Edward Islanders for better
communication between that populous
but isolated province and the main
land of the Dominion. The island Is
separated from New Brunswick by q
waterway six miles wide at its mar
rowest part and only navigable In
winter with the most powerful ice
boats. A railway tunnel plan has long
been talked of, and 1t is figured that
with cheaper and better working meth
DDS now in use the scheme could be
put through for $1OOOO,000, the inter-
est on which would be no more than
the present annual cost Of maintaining
inefficient winter communication. If
this project should go through 1t would
be the first tunnel to be pushed a great
distance under the sea.

High Collars Must Come Down.

The stiff high collars now affected
by both men and women who incline
10 be dressy certainly make the wear
crs look uncomfortable, and a physi-
clan asserts in recent number of the
Medical Mirror that they frequently
cause very serious pains and disor-
ders. People are told that although
they may experience no discomfort
from this particular article of haber-
dashery the continual pressure of high
collars upon the nerves of the neck,
especially the pneumogast1fc, may be
followed by alarming symptoms. The
writer says:
The effect of compression on structures
In this locality was known to the ancient
writer's on medicine but the phenomena
observed were ascribed to the artery rath-
er than the nerve. For instance it was
noticed then as now, that pressure on
this part of the neck was followed by
sensation of want of air, by deep and la
borious breathing, rapid heart primarily,
to be afterwaTd retarded with sometimes
a sense of sinking over the precardial re-
glon. Continuing the pressure occasions
a deep seated, benumbing sensation in the
head, as If one We're about to lose con-
seriousness. Gastric symptoms amount
ing to nausea, etc, even vomiting may
arise. with lassitude. languor, lowness of
spirits and want of repose. remaining for
an hour or two, then gradually wearing
away.
Those persons whose occupations re-
quire frequent STOPPING and bending of
the neck, the doctor believes, are ex-
posed to irritation from high and tight
collars. The pressure need not be di-
rect upon the pneumogastric, but may
affect simply the smaller nerves of the
neck and still operate detrimental to
health.

sneonlatIon and Banking.

Comptroller of the Currency Ridgley
recently exclaimed before the Ma
tlonal Association of Bank Cashiers,
Speculation is the curse of the day."
The comptroller was preaching a little
sermon on bank frauds and while the
remark may be taken as due to the
heat of argument there is food in it for
everyday reflection. Banking, in the
minds of many, stands primarily for
speculation. This is of course not
true. The ideal banker, like the ideal
In any business, is the careful, conser-
vatlve man. Rapid financiers may be
cried loudly after in the street, but the
level headed man with capital to in
vest or cash to lay away safely goes
TO the quiet and unobtrusive man of
business for advice. True banking
methods encourage respect for
money and an appreciation of it as
permanent treasure The love of
money is often COMPOUNDED with love
of what money can buy. People with
a rage for speculation do not seek so
much money for Its own sake as the
luxury and indulgence to be obtained
by the means of it. The craze for in
diligence. blunts the sense of caution
and the Spectator is lost through the
power of his appetite and not through
primary love of money. Banking is
based upon the idea that the average
man will work his best for the produc-
ton of real wealth and will safeguard
his earnings. Real prosperity is of slow
growth and the possibility of enjoying
unearned wealth is the temptation
which spells ruin to those who give
way to it.

The Germans have not yet forgotten
the warning of the Iroquois theater
fire, and the newspapers Of the father
land are still earnestly discussing the
subject of safety appliances in thea
tiers. Experts are devising means to
separate the stage from the auditorium
so completely that neither smoke nor
flame can pass from one to the other.
Fire Director Reichel of Hanover pro-
poses that there be two iron curtains
or one iron and one asbestus curtain
from thirty-nine to tifty-eight inches
apart, with ventilators at the top, so
that smoke and poisonous gases will
be drawn upward and not penetrate
the auditorium.

Barrie, the novelist and dramatist,
has just turned forty-five and will
have to be up and doing if he improves
ON the record he made before he reach
ed forty. He went to London twenty
years ago and at thirty was one of the
most popular fiction writer's in the
world and at forty one of the most
successful dramatists. Yet he was
told by those who thought they knew
all about it to keep away from London.

The existence of plants which are
sensitive to atmospheric changes has
long been known to science, but it re-
manned for an Austrian investigator to
bring out a plant substitute for the
weather prophet The new system Is
founded on the sensitiveness of the
Abrus precatorius, which, the discoverer
says, is reliable for indicating in adj
vance fair weather, rain, low wind and
tempests both ON land and sea.

The historic bells of Chertsey parish
church, in England, which inspired
Rosa Thorpe to write the famous
poem, "Curfew Must Not Ring To-
night" lately stopped ringing, as the
frame of the belfry is crumbling and
must be rebuilt Two of the eight
bells in the chime are 600 years old,
and one of the two sounded the curfew
in the days when its ringing meant
something.

Dr., BENJAMIN Franklin SIeeper.

The news of the death of DR.. Ben
jalnin Franklin Sleeper, who dicG last
week, at his home in West Roxbury.
Mass, caused much sorrow in this
town where he used to practice and
was well remembered. For the past
four and a half years, he has been q
great sufferer, and for a while obliged
to give up his practice but for the
past two years he has attended regu-
lar!y to business, although under cir
CumstanceS that would have under
mined the courage OF most men. Born
in Pennington, Me-, May s, 1854. and
receiving his early education in the
schools of his native State he pre-
pared for his life work in the Phila-
delphia Dental College. For several
years after graduation he practiced in
winthrop, and for the past Is years
had u lucrative practice at 175 fremont
street, Boston. He was a member Of
Warren Council, Royal Arcanum, Rox-
bury, of the Golden Cross Command
cry, Winthrop, and of the Masonic
and Odd Fellows Lodges in this town.
He is survived by two sons. Myron,
aged IA years, Dorman, aged 10 years,
his mother, 81 years of age, a brother
George 5. Sleeper. and a sister, Mrs.
S. T. Wing, both of Winthrop. The
aged mother lives with her daughter,
Mrs. Wing, in Winthrop, but had been
spending the winter with her son in
West RuXbury. Mr.. and Mrs. Wing
were on their way from Washington.
j. c., to their Maine home, and had
stopped in Boston for a few days Wis
it, which had been repeatedly pro-
longed at DR.. Sleeper's request. and so
they all seemed to be providentially in
his home at this time. Funeral services
at his late residence were conducted by
Rev F. W. Merrick, Ph. D.. pastor of
the Congregational church, which the
doctor attended.
