Welded a Hundred Years.

There has just been celebrated in
the little village of Isonbolgi near
Vienna, the anniversary of wedding
which occurred just 100 years ago
All Hungary is interested and the
emperor has asked the authorities to
forward to him official particulars. so
he can personally congratulate the
couple.
The long welded couple are named
Szathmari. The husband is 100 and
the wife 10 year old. Thew have
hundreds of descendants IN and
around the village.
A score of years ago there was a
celebration in honor of the mans
Tooth birthday, and application was
made to the Hungarian government
for a pension. 1t was granted after
the records of the village had been
examined and the mans age verified.
Four years later the woman also was
granted a pension.
The old people live in modest
cottage and are well looked after by
relatives. They are nearly blind and
deaf, and sleep nearly all the time.
The man, however, still enjoys his
pipe and glass of wine. and neither
is bedridden.
1t is strange fact that in all their
years they have never left the village
and know nothing of the great world
outside of Isonbolgi. They were
both born there and have lived con-
tinuously quiet and peaceful life.
The celebration of their hundredth
wedding day was anticipated by the
entire village, which is proud of hav-
ing established, without any doubt, a
worlds record

Princess Ena Has Changed.

Queen Victoria Eugene. as her
Spanish subjects call England's Prin-
cess Ena. mas changed in appearance
since she has been at Madrid. She
now looks much more womanly, and
often a sad expression clouds her
pretty face, which is perhaps not sur
prising when one remembers the mar
row escape she mad from the anar-
chist's bomb on the day of her mar
riage She is inclined to stoutness,
bat SpanIards like matronly women,
and consider her AL the more beauti-
full on that account.
Apart from the occasional sad ex-
PRESTON mentioned, she seems to be
quite happy, and her young husband
is very devoted TO her Nor can she
complain of any hack OF affection
from her royal mother-in-law or the
other members of the Spanish royal
family.
When seen in public the two
queens look very well, indeed-the
stately Austrian and the young Eng.
lish girl. so Saxon like, with her pink
and white complexion and golden
locks. Both queens are fond OF beau
tiful clothes and dress to perfection.
The tasteful half mourning tints of
Queen Christina serve as a soft back
ground for the dainty bright blues
and pinks OF Queen Victoria Eu-
genie's attire.
The queens of Spain have always
been famous for their splendid jewel
ry, and King Alfonso has given his
wife, among other things, a superb
closed coronet, which she wears on
state occasions. but She never looks
so beautiful as when wearing the
splendid turquoise ornament present
ed to her on her marriage by King

Ocean Crown to Lusitania.

The big turbine liner Lusitania
ended the fastest trip ever made
across. the Atlantic at 1884 Friday
morning, when it raced over the
ocean course finish line off Sandy
Hook lightship.
The ship exceeded even the expec-
tations OF its captain, whose last
wireless dispatch to the Cunard line
officers Thursday evening said he ex-
peeted to cross the line at lis o.
clock Friday morning.
The Lusitania's second westbound
trip has smashed every ocean record
and demonstrated that the huge tur-
biner is -four day boat"

three minutes. Finishing at 1854 a.
m. Friday morning makes the voyage
from land to land days 10 hours and

thirty-seven minutes faster than its
first trip.
If the Lusitania has come the same
course as it did on its first trip, 1850
nautical miles, it has averaged 24O3
knots. and so has made several new
records on the voyage
The Lusitania made a run of COS
miles one day and 617 the next, and
averaged for the best days run 24.76
knots. These two runs wipe out the
record held by the Deutschland OF
Col miles and an average of 24.19
knots. For the entire voyage the
Lusitania has settled the question OF
supremacy that has troubled the sup
porters of the Deutschland and Kais-
er Wilhelm III. The Deutschland rar;

With the Lusitania' s trip the Cum
ard line and Eng'nd capture from
Germany the eagerly sought record
for possessing the heetest ship on the
Atlantic The Hamburg American
liner Deutschland has held the record
for a number OF years. Steamship
men also claim that the achievement
of the Lusitania proves the superior
ity Of turbine engines over the recip-
rocating type Reports from the ship
state that the trip has been a pleas
ant one and the ship has shown little
vibration.

it the record for the Queenstown

age in 1894 in five days seven hour.
twenty-three minutes.
The Cunard line captured its first
record for the voyage across the
ocean when the Europa, in 1916,
made the then remarkable time OF
eleven days three hours, beating the
formre record of the famous Great
Western. made in 1888, of fourteen
