Maxine Elliott, who has taken a
house in London and will leave the
stage for time to enjoy social life,
is famous as an actress and also for
her beauty. Miss Elliott, who, upon
the stage, retains her maiden name,
under which she became famous, is
the wife of Nat C. Goodwin. to whom
she was married in 1898. She was
born in Rockland, Me-, and was but 16
when she first appeared on the stage.
Her serious work, however, did not
begin until 1890, when she became as
sociated with E. s. Willard. Subse-
quently she became member of Daly's
stock company and rapidly won dis
tinction, which has been enhanced by
her performance in her husbands COM
pany. Dramatically and socially she
is a great favorite in both the United
States and England.

for an opening. LeFevre had been so
confident of his ability to manage his
aeroplane that he-had set out in spite of
the heavy wind that kept back all the
less Venturesome aeronauts. He was
determined to witness the battle. Just
before hef saw me he had attempted
to turn and found the steering gears
jammed. Had 1 not rescued him he
would have probably found a watery
grave.
It was now dark. The air was damp
and cold, so 1 drew the roof over part
of my car. LeFevres light clothing
was dry enough to put on, and we sat
down to eat supper, followed by a ci-
gar. learned then many things about
the impending battle, LeFevre being
familiar with the explosives and ap-
paratus in use on both sides.
The Germans were depending largely
upon their late invention, the Calnite
aerial bomb. This projectile was to be
fired by compressed air from mortar
like gun, and being fitted with gyro-
scope would maintain its elevation for
distance of eight miles. The bomb
was two feet in diameter and about
three feet long. and moved so slowly as
to be visible during its whole course. 1t
contained a charge of two hundred

German squadron was in fine shape,
but three of it's battleships disabled.

closely. The Centrifugal needed not

saw it under the DOW of the Frederick

fleet. or half minute it lay there,
surrounded as ever by that whirl of
sparkling bubbles. Then it darted
away toward another. So interested
were We in watching the uncanny move
ments of the strange boat that we did
not observe the CONFUSION on board the
Frederick, nor on the others that were
successfully visited. LeFevre noticed
the great ships settling low in the
water, and spoke of it to me. There
was something terrible about this de-
stroyer. Inside of fifteen minutes every
vessel in that fleet had been stung, as
it were, by this great hornet of the sea,
and every one was sinking. The sea-
men were throwing themselves off;
boats were putting out; RATS were flung
into the sea. Presently the Centrifugal
finished her work and we saw her
whirling away, stopping here and there
to smell a submarine and to kiss it or
to sting it as it happened to be friend
or foe. What sighti Twenty-four
German ships sinking, SINKING, gong
down to eternal silence. One after an
other they vanished. The torpedo boats
came to the surface, saw what had hap
pened, and put out for home and neu-
trail ports. The Centrifugal, the grim
destroyer, vanished. The great battle
was over. And neither side could be
said to have won. 1t was practical an

strenuous for me. wanted quiet for a
while, and naturally my thoughts
turned to Aimee, my sweetheart. was
she safe?
LeFevre insisted that come with
him to his home, but I refused. Turn

to earth in the open country, and after
bidding LeFevre adieu rose again and
made my way east. I had but one

But whatever work awaited this ter

mans were wonderfully accurate with
their Calnite aerial bombs. Ship after

a broken teacup. The force of the cal

The Centrifugal moved swiftly. At
intervals it came up with a submarine,
paused a moment to ascertain whether
German or French, and acted according

darted at the victim, touched it, and as
quickly darted away. What terrible
power it exerted could not understand,
but at that fatal touch the enemy sank.

Copper in Water Kills Germs.

In looking to the publication of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
ply OF the water for great city, re-
markable results are announced from
the application of new method OF
destroying micro-organisms in water,
which was discovered about year ago
by Drs. Moore and Kellerman, OF the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton. 1t consists simply in dissolving
certain quantity of copper sulphate in
the water to be purified. Fortunately
the dilution can be made so large that
no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water intended for drinking
purposes. One part of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water is the
proportion generally used, and 1t is
pointed out that, in order to obtain
any effect of copper from such mix
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter lart of 1904 more
than fifty sources of water supply IN
the United States were treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that fire.
quently choke up small ponds are also
eliminated. Most important of all If
the promise that by this treatment the
germs of typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source of water
supply.
In the case of a lake or pond the
chemical is applied by suspending bags
filled with copper sulphate over the
side of boat while the boat is rowed
about. In two or three days the cop
ner IS entirely precipitated from the
water, but the beneficial effects OF Ihe
treatment last for weeks or montns'
