OBJECTIONS HELD INVALID.
No Reasonable Grounds for opposi
tion to New Bullet.

Washington.-l1X Experts of the army
and navy ordinance bureaus are per.
picked over report from The
Hague conference that disposition
exists in certain quarters to raise the
question of prohibiting tho rifle bullet
adopted by Germany, Great Britain,
France and America. Even the med
ical officers in both services are at a
loss to conjecture what reasonable
ground of objection can be found
against the use of the new, cupro.
nickel, sharp-pointed 1906 model bul.
let.
1t was reported from The Hague
that this bullet was more dangerous
than the "dum.dum'' bullet, but the
experts here are unit in declaring
that the new bullet is, II anything,
more humane than the old bullet, so
far as concerns the nature Of the
wound inflicted by 1t.
But, according to the ordnance Off
GERS, in one way, at least, the new
bullet is apt TO be more dangerous
than the old, and that is in killing
or wounding more soldiers. It was
designed expressly for that purpose
too. Because of its higher velocity
the bullet has remarkable fiat ira
jectory. The consequence is that
travelling in an almost horizontal
plane, the new bullet would be certain
to strike an object within the 1,O0C
yards range, which the old bullet
would pass entirely over.
As no nation has heretofore made
any objection on THAT score when the
absolute necessity of war was demon
strated, II cannot now be regarded as
valid objection.

MILITARY ROAD TO YUKON.
Canada for Two Years Has Been Con
structing II.

Edmonton, Alberta.-An important
work is being carried on by the do.
minion government in the Canadian
northwest concerning which people in
general know little. This is the build
ing of military road from this city
TO the Yukon territory.
For two years the construction has
been under way in charge of the royal
northwest mounted police. From Ed
monton tho road stretches 700 miles
away to Fort st. John, on the Peace
river, and then takes an almost direct
course over the Rocky mountains for
200 miles to Fort Graham, in British
Columbia, and thence in a northwest
erly direction for ZOO miles more to
Atlin. This long trail of 1,6O0 miles
lies through region but little civil
ized, and where nature at times op.
poses her sternest barriers. 1t is not
wide road-only eight feet. At reg
ular intervals of 30 miles small rude
log houses are erected as halting
places.
The principal work so far has been
from the eastern side of the Rocky
mountains. The construction party,
under the command of Capt. Camies,
last fall reached Fort Graham, where
they wintered. Another party of
workmen under Inspector Mcdonald,
of Whitehorse, this simmer will push
the work from Atlin until the two
forces meet, which they hope to do
before winter.
The two front doors TO the Klondike
now lie in the United states Territory
of Alaska, one opening in from Skag'
way by means of the White Pass &
Yukon railway, the other further
north, the estuary of the Yukon river
at st. Michael. Should international
difficulties arise between England and
the United States, the Yukon territory
would be cut Off. The military road Is
intended to prevent such a catastro'
phe.

"Of course at this season of the year

ill-tempered when disturbed and at

RaIIoonists In the Sea.

II is not little remarkable that al
though scores of balloons have been
driven out to sea cases in which this
misadventure has ended fatally are
few.
More than century ago, when Maj
Money made an ascent from Norwich,
England, he was compelled to descend
in the sea, where he remained for
seven hours until his plight was seen
and he was rescued by the crew of a
revenue cutter. Some years later. in
1912, James Sadler narrowly escaped
drowning in an attempt to cross the
Irish channel; his balloon dropped
into the water some miles off Liver
pool and he was on the point of sue
cumblng when rescue came in the form
of a fishing boat.
In similar attempt Mr.. Crosbie
was saved when almost in extremis
many miles from the English coast.
Lunardi, in 1885, nearly lost his life in
the sea off Edinburgh, and in the same
year two aeronauts, in an attempt to
cross the English channel, had also a
narrow escape.

Great Demand for False Hair.

Paris.-The present towering styles
in millinery are partly responsible for
famine in false hair with which
fashionable women are faced. Never
was there greater demand for aux.
iliary tresses and never was the sup
ply so inadequate.
The stoppage of the human hair
trade in some continental countries
where it is now forbidden for The
peasant girls to sell their hair, is in
a measure responsible for the scare
ity.
Dealers in human hair state that
prices have been advanced 100 per
cent during the past three or four
years. Fair hair is the most expensive
kind, because It is both the rarest
and the most in demand. Fashionable
women are accordingly paying very
highly for their coiffures.

HAS ELECTRIC HANDS
SCHOONER OF QUEER SORT SAILS
INTO BOSTON HARBoR.
Mysterious Devices Arc Used to Un.
load the Vessels Cargo, Which
ls Done In Unusually
Fast Time.

Boston.--The schooner Northand.
which sailed into Boston a few days
ago, is vessel of mystery. Her cap.
tain says she is equipped with cleo
trical hands. They handle her cargo
far better than observation-disclosures, in
fact, than the scargoes of the mann
moth ocean liners.
Just what these electrical hands"
are the captain will not tell, as it Is
a secret shared only by himself and
the owners of the vessel. But one
thing is certain, her interior machin-
cry is different from any vessel of
her kind that ever sailed the sea, and
her construction marks new era In
marine architecture.
y Just imagine, If you can an or
dinary coalcarrying vessel fitted with
elevators, electric lights and other
electrical machinery for handling
freight faster than 1t was ever handled
before. Picture in your minds
eye the hold of that vessel, with four
powerful engines set up In tandem
so that they may be used singly or
together, either to drive the vessel
against head winds or to work the
powerful machinery for discharging
her freight.
Just such a craft is the Northland,
the forerunner of a type of vessel
which is soon destined to increase
while the present cry for great speed
in every field Of commercial endeavor
exists. In the Northland the total
horse power of the four gasoline en-
glnes is about 500, but even this can
be raised in an emergency. Connected
up In a series with the engines in
this section of the schooner Is 1876
volt generator of the Westinghouse
pattern, which is used constantly for
the lighting of the boat and the work
ing of four elevator lifts which have
been installed.
All of the riding, anchor and sail
ing lights of the vessel are supplied
by this generator, and in the cabins,
forecastle, holds and galleys the in.
candescents are used for the sake of
convenience.
When the vessel came into the haI>

tus. A searchlight was playing from
her PROV and the general appearance
of the ship, while using the electric
lights, excited the wonder of all per.
sons along the water front. The yes
sci itself is 164 feet long, She has
four hatches. Each of the two mid
hatches are equipped with electrically
propelled elevators for the conven'
ience of handling cargoes.
There seems, however, to be some
thing in the nature of a mystery about
the electrical equipment of the ship,
for the captain refused to allow any,
body to view or photograph the in
terror fittings of the engine room
Capt. Dow declared he was acting
under the orders issued by the owners
of the vessel, who were requested by
the builders of the ship and engines
not to allow the interior arrange
merts of the schooner to become pub
lie property. Besides Capt. Dow are
his two sons, George and Norman, the
engineers of the vessel and Mrs. Dow
with three younger children, Laura
Jeanette and Ferdinand.
