German Military Training.

Germany, through the thrift, intel
ligence and prosperity of her people,
illustrates to mankind the advantages
of training in youth her manhood to
the use of arms; the habits of disci-
pline and the order and cleanliness Of
person are carried into after-life by
all classes of modern Germans; this
permeates the whole nation, and is
to-day recognized as national char
acteristic. The womanhood of the

Deeo British CoIlieries.

Golfers employed in certain pits in
the Manchester district are now
working half mile below ground.
There are collieries in Ashton, Brad
ford (Manchester) and Pendleton
which are more than hall. mile in
depth, and others are about to be
sunk in other parts of southern Lam
cashire which will be 900 yards
down. The men working at these
great depths have to take huge
amounts of liquid with them, owing
to the great heat which prevails,
many of them taking two quarts of
cold tea in big tin cans. The Pendle-
ton pit OF Messrs. A. Knowles is

Ice Shaped Like Spikes.

A remarkable form of ice, which
the French-Canadians name frazil ice,
is the cause of the packing up of ice
and consequent foods in the st. Law
renee river. 1t forms in spiky shapes
where the currents are too rapid for
ordinary sheet ice to spread across
them, and at the base of waterfalls.
During the prevalence of cold winds
the icy needles sometimes fill up open
channels, and, being carried long dis
tances beneath the surface ice, gradu-
ally accumulate and consolidate, and
are liable to dam the channel even
to depths Of so feet.

The Italians have invented a de-
vice for making celluloid non-inham-
mable by mixing glue, gum arabic and
coal oil with ordinary composition.
by the expression conservation of
energy is meant that no particle of
the energy, or force, or power, in ma

force inherent in things may be trans
formed, but never destroyed. The

Electric cooking may be the rule
IN the modern kitchen should the ex-
periments now being made prove of
practical value. A new type of electric
furnace has been invented and so i'm
proved that it can now be used for

to within less than one degree, and

A novel automobile storm front has
ben invented by Dr.. Whiting, and is
described as having several advan-
tages over the glass or mica front. 1t

up when not in use. 1t can be re-
moved or put on in five minutes, and
when not in use is slowed away, TAX

1t is a fact that flesh-eating plants
exist, These carnivorous plants have
in some way evolved arrangements by
which they are enabled to feed on
small animals, especially insects. On
the upper sides of the leaves are a
large number of hair-like grOwths
which pour out a sticky fluid. The in
sect coming in contact with this fluid
is held fast, and the margin OF the
leaf folds over it and digests it.

emie des Sciences, NJ Hanriot gives
an account of the active substances
which are contained in the Tephrosia
vogelli. The leaves of this plant and
neighboring species are used for fish
ing by the natives of Madagascar and
the east coast of Africa. The plant
is crushed and the pulp macerated,
with a little water; then it is put in
the pond or river at different places, es-
pecially in slow streams. Soon the
fish become paralyzed and mount to
the surface. They can then be caught
by hand and eaten without danger

BASE BALL DOINGS

The Bachelors and Benedicts sur prised the big crowd of spectators yesterday morning by the quality O ball they played. The game iron beginning to end was well played and credit to both sides. The score - to in favor of the Benedicts-is one neither team should be ashamed of, and this would have stood , to except for fumbling letting in two runs early in the game.
 Mahoney was the first man up for the Bachelors, and after knocking a foul, picked out an easy one which he sent out between short and third, reaching first base with time to spare. He stole second and was advanced to third on little bunt by Schlothan and came home. Burkhart famed out, Schlothan made first, and Inger- soil and Capp didn't get away from home. One run for the Bachelors.
 Brad opened the music for the hen peeked crew by knocking out nice little grounder to left making first base, and reached home on passed balls by the catcher, Burkhart sent high fly to kubley who took care of it in great shape, and Murphy and Williams each had hole in their bat, and struck out, Score l to l.
 Second, Colby struck out, Kubley put long fly over the sea weed in left field which would ordinarily have been safe, but Gustavson making q long run caught it, making what was probably the most spectacular play of the day. Stackpole famed and the score stood.
 Cosgrove knocked hot grounder to Colby who hung onto it like a hero, and the batter didn't try to beat it. Dubail lined out between short and pitcher reaching first and made the circuit on passed halls, scoring, Hampton and Schlothan were next but struck out, score l to in favor of the Benedicts.
 So the game went, but The Miners lack of room prevents further detailed account suffice it to say that Ketchikan doesn't need to im- port talent for an interesting ball game. We have it right here at home. Stackpole surprised his oppo- nents by striking out nine men and allowing but one base on balls, while Ed. Williams was the same old standby he always is, keeping his hits nicely scattered and walking only one man. Some of the new material appearing yesterday for the first time give good promise, and the proposition of first class base ball In Ketchikan for 1907 depends entirely upon the boys themselves. The report of the game would be incomplete without mention of the fact that J. R. Heck man took Dubail's place after the second inning. and the way he did things wasn't slow, making a safe hit which was good for two bases if he had tried for second. Some of the boys suggested that that shining head piece of his so dazzled the pitcher that he couldn't throw curve.

 ed and there seems to have been lit
 tie need for revising it. But the political leaders of the state were more under the domination of Wash

Some of the provisions of the Oklahoma con- stitution were referred to as radical, but as a matter of fact the most of them were daricalisms that will look prety conservative within ten years.

The center front seam is bordered on either side by silk braid half an inch wide, this trim ming, in turn, being bordered by three rows of narrow soutache, the braiding extending round the bottom of the skirt.
 The jacket is a semi-fitted pony af- fair, cut away at the front in V shape and filled in with very narrow inside revers of moire. stitched with gray silk soutache and groups of dull green French knots. The sleeves are three quarter length, finished with the braided moire to match the revers. Both upon the coat and skirt little buttons are introduced at intervals wherever possible to relieve the mo- notony of the design.
 Many glorified decorative schemes are worked out with floral designs of heavy floss silk and linen put on de applique upon the fronts of jackets, the sleeves and around the hem of the skirt. A pretty idea is to stitch braid around the skirt in a modified key effect, then set a medallion of the embroidery in the center of each square. As a rule, the trimming comes in white and black linen or silk, but the latter are easily dyed to match the color of any frock, just as the smart laces are. H#a
