FRENCH SUBMARINES,
Good Work Done by Them at Recent
Maneuvers

Maneuvers.
Submarine boats made brilliant
performance at the maneuvers which
the French navy carried out in the
bay Of Toulon. This Is the first time
that such maneuvers have been held In
France. The idea was to combine the
operations of the submarines of the
port with the torpedo boats which
form part of the defending feet The
operation was as follows: polygon
had been traced in the great harbor.
This polygon, which had surface Of
some 5000 square yards, was formed
on one side by the shore and on the
others by imaginery lines which had
been determined In advance. A squad
ron composed Of six torpedo boats of
the feet, headed by the destroyer La
Bragonne, was detailed to defend and
keep lookout upon the polygon. On
the other hand. five submarines were
to traverse the space from one end to
the other. without being seen or local
lied by the torpedo boats. The maneu-
yer took place during the forenoon. 1t
proved to be of a most instructive
character and gave some very e - .
sive results as 10 the operation Of the
submarines.
Only one of the torpedo bcFis, the
No. 140. in the report which 1t pre-
sented 10 the commandant of the de-
fense. stated that during few seconds
slight bubtling was noted, this no
doubt being caused at the surface Of
the sea by a periscope which came near
the top, but the duration of the dis
turbance was SO short that no exercise
Of sighting could be made, and in spite
OF the efforts which were made at once.
II was quite impossible to discover the
path Of any of the submarines. The
naval authorities here consider that
this experiment which Is tried for the
frst time with the torpedo boats and
submarines. is among the most impor-
tant and conclusive. and justifies the
confidence which the navy has in the
good performance of the submarines

The Future of the Elephant.

very little hope that the African sle-

OF the ivory hunter. The African ivory

SOUTH AFRICAN TEMPLES.

Inc temple ruins at ---sIa are
say they were ancient, but DR.. Ran
dali Macivers, their latest explorer,
says they we're built In the Middle
Ages. He says the great "elliptical
temple" was the fortified residence OF
the great chief or Monomortapa.
whose sway extended over an enor-
nous area and an extensive popula-
ton.
To understand how architectural
feats like the finer Rhodesian build
ings can have been achieved by the
precursors of the modern South Az
rican natives IL is necessary to as
sumo that In those days there was or
ganization of far higher character
than has obtained In recent years,
organization under great chiefs whose
power and intelligence were of re.
latively high order. From the Por-
tuguese and their records this would
appear to have been the case in the
days Of the Monomortapan empire
of the Middle Ages down to the close
of the sixteenth century.
The organization of labor implied
by the elaborate and decorated stone
architecture is remarkable. Even
more remarkable than the fortified
castles are the terrace walls. These
stone built walls form irregular con-
centric rings around the hills upon
which the villages were situated, and
although structurally simple. cover
an enormous area, extending in close
formation over a space OF upward Of
fifty square miles.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that 1t is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved

organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory

Cedron seeds is another ingredient of

it is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment Of dysentery, and in inter

Two Boys Landed a Big Fish.

While Earl Stone and Paris Hatta-
baugh, 8 and 10 years cid respective
ly, were fishing in Richland creek at
the old watermill, one mile east OF
town, yesterday they found large cat
fish fastened between a log of the mill
dam and a stone. 1t had run into the
trap during high water, and as the
water receded it was unable to get
loose.
How to land the fish was a question,
for the boys reasoned that the fish as
soon as dislodged, would become un-
manageable, but they were equal to the
emergency. While Paris sat on the
fish Earl took the shoestring band from
his straw hat, put it through the gills
of the fish and then the two dragged
it ashore. In triumph the boys brought
their catch, the largest of the season.

America Alone las HumnIna-bIrds

America Alone has Humning-birds.
Though the art museums of Europe
may have some treasures of which Am
erica cannot boast, our continent has
the distinction of monopoly of the
worlds supply of humming-birds, the
gems of all the feathered creation. OF
these there are said TO be some four
hundred species-the four hundred we
may we'll call them!-nearly all of
which are peculiar to the tropical re-
gions. Only eighteen cross the borders
of the United States, from Mexico and
occur only in our Southwestern states
The popular idea is that the hummer
lives only on honey, gathered from
flowers. This is a mistake. The bird
does secure some honey, but its food
consists mainly OF the small insects
which frequent the flowers. Some of
these insects are injurious to the bios
som, and the tiny bird fulfills use
full function in destroying them. That
the hummer is insectivorous is also
shown by its habit of catching tiny
insects on the wing, which is occasion
ally observed.-H. h. Job, in the Out
ing Magazine.
