the counts daughter, Airline, now a fine
young woman. A grand fair is in progress.
While trying to engage Arline's attention
Florestein perceives his medallion hanging

with having stolen it. This leads to great
excitement; the guard Is called. Airline Is
arrested and the crowd dispersed by SOL

charge and circumstances strengthen the
appearance of guilt against Airline, when
the count perceives the mark left by the
wound inflicted by the deer on Arlines
arm. He asks its origin. She repeats the
story related to her by Thaddeus. The
count recognizes his long-lost child.
In the third act we find Airline restored to
her rank and the home of her father; but
the change in her prospects does not di-
minish her love for Thaddeus. The opera
ends with the death of the gypsy queen and

SIGNIFICANT NAMES FOR GUNS.
Christening Engines Of War With
Dantean Nomenclature.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
At the Fort Pitt foundry, Fort Pitt. Pa,
were cast In 1867 for the monitor Puritan
two twenty-inch guns, which Capt. w. G.
Wise. then chief Of the naval bureau of
ordnance. proposed to call Satan and Luci-
fer. This proposition called forth protest
from the pastor of a Presbyterian church
at PIttsburg, who characterized it as most
unseemly IL not impious His letter was
referred by the member Of Congress to
whom 1t was addressed to the department
and finally came into the hands OF Capt
Wise for reply. In answer he called at
tention to the foreign custom of giving
to vessels such names as Jupiter. Juno,
Vulcan, Venus. Juggernaut, Inferno and
Lucifer and Satanic convey an idea of
the power of the destructive agent used
in battle. These guns. argued the learned
captain, were not intended for peace and
the utterance of good will toward 'men, but
to inf1ict as much mischief and destruction
on human beings in time of war as their
namesake the devil, tries to do at all times.
He further reminded his clerical critic that
a number of clergymen had witnessed with
out protest his act of christening in pres
ence of a large assembly Of ladies and
gentlemen the first twenty-inch gun cast
for the navy as Bebzebub. However, the
argument did not prevail. for religious SEN
timent was effective in preventing this use
of biblical nomenclature.

Physical characteristics of Spanish

From the Contemporary Review.
There are certain interesting peculiarities
which appear more especially in the Span
ish women. One of these lies in the shape
of the chest. Unlike the French and the
northern woman, the Spanish woman's
chest is found to be shorter and broadest
at the base-at the level. that is. Of the
lower end Of the breast bone-so that she
requires, according to Carmandel, differ
emily shaped corset while at the same time
there is greater amplitude and accentua-
ton of the hips in relation to the figure
generally. These characteristics of the
Spanish woman are well illustrated, it has
been said. by comparison between the
statue which Falguiere modelled after Cleo
de Merode and the distinctly national Span
lsh type represented in Goya's Maja Des-
nuda now in the Prado
The typical Spanish woman Gas Duchenne
first pointed out in 1865 presents another
puzzllng but well-authenticated popularity
in the heightened curves of her spine. The
Spanish woman's spine looks as If it's cur

tiers suggests that the popularity is not
an individual requirement but racial
trait, and there is no difficulty in believing
that the Iberan element, which is still
strong in the southwest of France and
recognizable in the southwest of England,
may also have passed up the French coast.
Lagneau and others are distinctly of
opinion that the ensellure Is racial Ibe-
rian trait. This conclusion seems inevi-
table, and in any case there can be no
dout. that the special grace and distinc-
ton of profile of the Spanish woman's fig
ure is associated with the ensellure; it is
this that gives the characteristic mark to
her bearing and carriage, while 1t en-
phasizes much that is most characteristic
in Spanish dancing.
