comes 1t to denote conventional forms
OF ceremony" which IL the definition

1t Is said that q certain Scottish gar

at Versailles was very much put out
because the eOurtiers walked over his
beds. To keep OF these trespassers
be placed labels or tickets-etiquettes

to the proper path. At first the
naughty courtiers did not deign to
notice these placards, but a hint from

compelled their obedience.
Thus, according to the story, orlgi,
mated our present use Of the word Ell.

Contrary to general BELIEF tne Uiu
Liberty bell is not the properly ot Ine

cracked and who took the old pen a.

son and Mrs. s. B. Coward-live IL
philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs s. W.
q. Diehl, lives In Washington
By an order Of the assembly OF the
proyince Of Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
IN 1751. Soon after arriving In this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal In the same form
and with the original inscription, Pro
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from provin'
cial authorities to the state, but IN
1918 1t was purchased by the city OF
Philadelphia, together with the oio
statehorse and grounds. During the
celebration over tho arrival Of Lara

orously It became cracked and a few
months later was ordered rep.aced By

Our Nays oMesrs.

In the eyes of foreigners there are
some startling defects In the personnel
of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one Is the age Of the flag officers and
CAPTAINS. Not a navy IN the world
numbers 50 many men Of advanced
years In command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. 1t Is
probable that In the event Of war last
ing a year not one-half Of the officers
at present In command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of expe-
rience Of the main part Of the crews
Of these ships Is another weakness
Tho percentage Of veterans IN the com
plement Of each vessel il small Our
battleships are much underomcered
with experienced subordinate officers
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than QUIZ
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers Is due to the neglect Of congress
which permitted i've years to elapse
after the Spanish-American war Be
fore the number Of midshipmen was
increased at Annapolis. - Broadway

vented by q French engineer, who
seeks to do away with the present day

By It the centrifugal displacement and

converted into benefits, and the limit
to the advantageous increase In veloci-
u Of rotation Of the propeller Is re-
moved. The apparatus Is designed to
