IN MONTENEGRO
Prince Nicholas Has Only
Three Ministers and Each
Holds Three Jobs.

LONDON. Feb. o - Montenegro's
brand-new constitution, granted by
Prince Nicholas Of his own free Will, is
causing lots Of trouble Of the opera
bOuffe kind. Prince Nicholas finds that
his people don't know quite what 20 do
with their charter. and wishes he had
not beer SO generous
He is worried almost daily by politi-
cal crises due 10 the muddles OF the
new, the verdant Parliament, and By
Misunderstanding with the Ministry.
Prince Nicholas showed that he IS still
something Of an autocrat by dismissing
the cabinet because It claimed some
authority in army appointments At
this the Parliament kicked and told the
Prince he ought 20 reinstate the Mn
istry because IL had the peoples conf
dence-
The Princes reply was a scathing
address TO the legislators. who at once
withdrew their objections and srolo-
gized TO the sovereign. For the new
Ministry the Prince had 10 fail back on
his three most faithful supporters.
There are nine portfolios in the cabinet,
so that each Of the members has TO
control three departments. Thus the
prince minister is minister for war. for
eign affairs, and public instruction.

blanket which, In view OF the recent
Sound disaster. where so many lives
were lost by the sinking Of the Larch-
mont. ought 10 be Of great interest 10
Americans, has been tried by the naval
authorities at Kiel.
The blanket is able to float three
grown men for more than fOrty-eight
hours. II looks and feels exactly Ike
the ordinary wooden article. has no
disagreeable Odor, and is the invention
Of a Danish pilot.
The experiments at Kiel showed that
the blanket could float a solid lump OF
iron weighing eighty pounds for forty
eight hours. and that a belt Of the same
size as the ordinary Nfebelt, but weigh
ing less than one pound, would keep
man above water. even after having
been soaked in water for twelve hours
It is the intention Of the navy de-
partment 70 adopt the life-saving blan-
ket on all government vessels, and II
also is said that two great transatlantic
companies at Hamburg and Bremen will
adopt the blanket on all their passenger
boats.
