CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN,
Miss Peck Had an Uncomfortable
Time with Her Outfit.

From Harper's.
Miss Annie s. Peck, the well-knOwn
mountain climber, tells Of her attempt to
ascend Mount Huascaran In Peru. Her
account of her outfit is interesting:
Il had thought excellent my plan of
having a little tent all to myself. but it
did not so prove. At the door it was
barely five feet high, sloping to the other
end. 1t was just wide enough for my
sleeping bag. To move about inside was
impossible. I had TO sit down and s.r-
range my apparel as best I could. In the
middle Of the day II was very warm, but
extremely cold at night.
Il already had on three suits OF wool
en- underwear. two pairs Of stockings. and
viCuna fur socks; but the latter were
damp, so I removed them for an extra
pair of stockings. To sit in cramped
quarters, take off high-laced boots,
change stockings, put on Eskimo trousers,

in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is

indication of an ill-nourished enfeebled

DREADNAUGHT TOO SMALL
British Admiralty to Build Battleships
with Bigger Guns to Match New /
Ships Kaiser Is Building.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Daily Mail
says it learns the admiralty is contem-
plating the construction of battleships
larger and more powerful than the
Dreadnaught, having guns that will
throw the latter's into the shade. 1t is
impossible to reply to the new German
ships by putting more twelve-inch guns
on a battleship.
The conditions necessitate new type
of monster gun. 1t is believed the pat
tern chosen will be gun of thirteen and
one-half inches caliber, roughly fifty and
one-half feet long, and weighing from
eighty-five to eighty-six tons.
Probably eight of these will be mount
ed on each ship, so that all can be fired
in a broadside, or six ahead or astern.
