RUSSlA'S NEW WAR MACHINES.
Submarine Boat and Instrument ia
Aid Gunfire Tested.

st. Petersburg.-The admiralty is
conducting trials of a submarine boat
of a new type, invented by a Russian
engineer, the distinctive feature Of
which is the elimination of the accu-
mulators ordinarily used in subsurface
running. The new boat also employs
the same motors above and below the
surface. The first new submarine
boat of the lake type built here, of 45O
tons above water and 500 when fully
submerged, will be launched soon.
During the autumn of
the mosquito feet" off the Finnish
coast, the officers were tested in new
tactics, submarine boats acting in con
junction with torpedo. boats, which are
said to have given remarkable re-
suits.
Another Russian naval invention is
a system of %gyroscopic fire control,
which has been constructed at the ad-
miralty works here and will be in
stalled and tried on one of the big
battleships. 1t is designed to prevent
the discharge of heavy guns, except
when the ship is on an even keel, and
to avoid the misses, resulting from
unexpected rolling.

COULD SEE NOTHING UNFAIR.
Spectator Understood Game Of Poker
as Played in Tin Can.

Henry E. Dixey, the actor, was talk.
Ing about the terrific fight that &C.
CURED recently on an Atlantic liner
between two fat and elderly poker
players. ut seems" said MI. Dixie,
with a smile, that the first man lost
$1,000 to the second and paid up. The
second then lost $1,750 to the first, and
refused to pay up. No wonder there
was a fight, Ell? If this sort of thing
keeps up, the smoking room morals of
a liner will fall as low as the gam
bling-room morals of Tin Can. A ten
derfoot once visited Tin Can and
watched with interest the poker play.
From saloon to saloon he passed.
Everything was wide open, and very
gay and lively. But as he looked on
at a poker game that had no limit
the tenderfoot suddenly frowned. He
had seen the dealer slip himself four
aces from the bottom of the pack.
Gracious powers whispered the ten
derfoot, excitedly clutching the sleeve
of the man next to him, did you notice
that?' Notice what?' asked the other.
Why, that scoundrel in the red shirt
just dealt himself four aces The
other looked at the %tenderfoot calmly.

BOY HAS ABNORMAL LIMBS.
Texas Lad Born with Five Joints to
Each Member.

Lufkin, Textile ~ive-year-old son
of Alb Renfro, a farmer, who lives near
here, is said to be the most wonder
full jointed boy in the world. Each
arm and each leg has five joints. These
joints are perfectly formed and, in
stead of being an Inconvenience to the
boy, they seem to be Of much aid to
him in getting around lively and in
bending his body in all sorts Of
shapes. Each arm has a joint just be-
low the elbow and another joint below
the shoulder, about midway between
the elbow and shoulder joints. Each
leg has a joint and another Joint lust
above the ankle.
The arms and legs are perfectly
formed in all other respects. The boy
is unusually strong for his age and
has never had any sickness. In run
ming he brings all Of the joints of his
legs into play, and he makes a fast
race. He can bend his arms and legs
into the shape of a hoop and he pre-
sents an odd appearance as he brings
the several parts of these members in
to use when playing.

WITH THE BRAND OF CAIN.
French Scientist Advocates the Mark.
ing of Murderers.

A French scientist has made a re-
markable proposal in regard to the
punishment of murderers in France.
He is of the opinion that neither gull
lotining nor life Imprisonment is an
adequate or suitable punishment for
murder. The guillotine, he points out,
inflicts absolutely no suffering on the
criminal, who is probably a nan who
has passed his life in inficting suffer-
Ing on others. AS to life imprison-
ment, it entails a heavy expense to the
country and generally reduces the
prinoner to insanity. He suggests,
therefore, that such criminals shall be
branded on the face with a redhot
iron and then released. The branding,
he thinks, should be done in public,
the M" signifying meurtrier, the
French word for murderer, being
stamped as an ineradicable mark on
the forehead Of the criminal. He would
thus bear about to the end of his days
the mark of his crime, and be a con-
slant warning to his kind.

ALL A MATTER OF INCHES.
Woman's Increased Height Makes Her
Superior to Man.

I wonder if the love ideals of won.
anhood are changing with the sex,
which is certainly in a transition
state. At one time it was a rare event
for a woman to marry a man much
younger than herself; now it is a COM
mon one. Not SO very long ago, in her
secret heart, the unattached maiden
rather longed for a master to whom
she might play the part of admiring
and adoring satellite; but in the pres
ent year of grace she prefers to be
sovereign herself, and to have a prime
minister who is useful and subordin-
ate. Can this change be in any way
due to the superior inches of the mod
ern woman? A difference must in
evitably exist between the day dreams
OF the six-foot something and the day
dreams of ive-foot nothing. Only the
other evening, at a concert, I was
much struck by the imposing manner
In which a very tall woman, splendidly
gowned, made her entrance into the
room. She swept in as if the whole
world belonged to her, while behind
her followed an insignificant creature
In black carrying her costly cloak, her
fan and I don't know what else. Hon
estly, I felt sorry for him, but realized
that my pity was wasted. One could
see he exulted in his wife's magnif-
cent appearance and his own subjec-
t1on.-Black and White, London.
