REBATES GIVEN
As Recently as 1908 Was the Charge
Made by Frank 3. Wigton.


Washington, Hay 1S.-To about rs
officers and members Of the Merchant
marine league OF the United States
who called upon him Thursday. the
president expressed himself .as hearti-
ly In favor OF the ship subsidy bill
now pending in the house. The meas
ure has passed the senate. The presi-
dent told his visitors that he needed
no argument to convert him 70 the be
lief in a policy OF building up the mer-
chant marine of the country. He was
confident. he said. that the legislation
now before the house would go far to-
ward beginning the proper building
up Of a merchant marine. and IL was
with pleasure that he would give his
aid to getting through legislation of
that sort.
Speaker Cannon is understood TO be
opposed to the measure and many mid
die western members are not favorable
TO its enactment.
Washington, May 1S.-None Of the
work done so far on the isthmus is
designed especially for the construc-
ton Of lock canal, and consequently
the money expended would not be
wasted. even IL congress were to agree
on a sea level canal" said Chairman
Shonts. Of the isthmian canal commits
sion Thursday. '"rhe commission is
acting under the present law, which
provides for a lock canal. Estimates
were submitted for work on canal
OF that type for the next fiscal year.
At best the estimates for such a work
are only guesses, OF course"
Sea level estimates must, in Mr.
Shonts' opinion. be far less definite
than lock canal estimates because of
the amount OF attention Mr.. Stevens
and his assistants have given to the
requirements Of a lock canal and the
new problems other types would pre-
sent.

Fishing in Motor Roats.

Automobile fishing boats are ply
ing the brine off Great Britain. Com
petition among the fishermen on the
east coast OF England and Scotland
has resulted in motor fishing boat
OF eighty tons displacement, seventy
five feet long, twenty-five feet wide,
and fitted with a gasoline engine of
twenty-four horse power running at
800 revolutions per minute. The en-
gine, which is used only when winds
are adverse, or lacking. can give the
craft speed of FIVE miles per hour.
1t does not interfere with either the
storage of fish or the manipulation
of sails, and replaces in its weight
merely in extent that the ballast pre-
viously carried. The idea is TO allow
individual crews to get their catch to
market as soon as do the present
fleet of "drifters," who employ
steam craft to collect fish from each
member of the fleet In turn. The en-
tire catch is then hurried to port,
while the fishermen remain on the
ground and continue their work. II
the pioneer boat fulfils It's anticipa-
ted destiny q numer of similar craft
are expected to be built.

Spontaneous Combustion.

Mr.. Karl Albecker has recently
observed a curious case of burning
writes the Vienna correspondent OF
the Medical Record, which In all Its
details suggests the instances of
spontaneous combustion spoken of In
the older textbooks, and proves that
our understanding of the combusti
bility of the human body is very i'm.
perfect. The body of an excessively
alcoholic adult was found one morn.
ing completely charred and shriveled
to the size of a child's body.
There was no evidence of con-
flagration in the place where the
body was found. An enormous
amount of fuel would have to be
consumed in order to bring about
such complete destruction of the soft
parts, and even the large bones. II
seems rational to accpet the old view
that the fat of the body surface melts
and saturates the clothing, and that
this then maintains the flame, Hike Q
wick saturated with oil.

MUSlC'S MIGHTY REALM.
In II There Is but n Single and Uni.
versnl Speech.

In IL There In but n Single and Unf-
versnI Speech.
''In the mighty realm of music there
is but one single speech" Music forms
the universal language which, when all
other languages were confounded, the
confusion of Babel left unconfounded.
The white man and the black man, the
red man and the yellow man, can sing
together however difficult they may
find ii TO be to talk to each other And
bo;h sexes and all ages may thus ex-
press their emotions simultaneously,
for In virtue of the power of the ear to
distinguish side by side those differing
but concordant notes which make up
harmony there is not only room, but
demand, for all the qualities Of voice
which childhood, adolescence, maturity
and old age supply. Thus love Of
music Is much more frequent than q
love of painting or sculpture, and you
will reach the hearts and touch the
feelings Of the majority of mankind
more quickly by singing them song
than by showing them a picture. In
truth. the sensitiveness of the ear to
melody and to harmony is so great that
we not only seek to crafty It when
bent upon recreation, but even In the
midst Of the hardest labor we crafty

Cigars Few Can Afford.

A long, low strip Of land, val
ley between high hills, lies five miles
outside of Havana, and there" said
a cigar salesman, "the best tobacco
in the world Is grown.
The name Of the place is Abajo,
and the Vuelta Abajo crops are al
ways bought up two or three years in
advance of their planting. They
yield only $4,000 cigars annually.
These cigars sometimes sell as high
as $3.50 a hundred-S1.50 apiece.
"Vuelta Abajo cigars are only
smoked by kings and billionaires.
There are many fake Vuelta Abajos
on the market But the real thing,
once smoked, can never be mistaken,
for there is no other tobacco in the
world with an aroma at once so pow
erful and so delicate"

FIELD GLASSES IN THE ARMY.
Instances Cited Prove Their Useful-
ness I'm Past Mars

ness I'm Past Wars.
A French military journal has
been pointing out that one OF the
principal requisites for well
equipped officer is powerful pair of
field glasses. In these days of long
range guns and smokeless powder
there cannot be two opinions as to
the value of an accessory which will
enable a General to see without be-
Ing seen himself or exposing his
troops to the view of the opposing
forces
The lesson taught us by the Beers
and the Japanese in recent cam
paigns seem to be: Use all your art
In finding out-in seeing, in word
the movements of the enemy,
while remaining yourself invisible,
and one of the most useful aids in
this direction is powerful pair'of
field glasses. According to the
Journal l have referred to the
French officer and non-commissioned
officer are expected to provide their
own field glasses, with the result that
in most cases they are of inferior
quality and the officers Judgment on
them usually is: II can see as well
with my own eyes" But If the War
Office realized the value Of the field
glass In war 1t would be reckoned as
indispensable as the service revolv-
er, and like that weapon would be
purchased wholesale by the govern
ment and sold to officers at cost
payable in instalments.
Switzerland, We are reminded. long
ago discovered the value of the
field glass; the Swiss artillery nom
commissioned officers have always
had good glasses. These are now
about to be taken from them and
given to the infantry officers, and in
their place more powerful field
glasses will be supplied to the artil-
lery.
