CHIEF OF POLICE EDWARD KERN

A microscopic examination by an Eng
lish engineer, E. w. Hartford, has now
shown that the metal acted upon is
heated nearly or quite to the melting
point of steel, but only at the point of
contact with the disc.
Among those who have tried rein
forced concrete as material for boats
is a firm of Rome, Italy. whose expert
ments have extended back more than
ten years. They have built number of
vessels having a displacement of 100 to
$50 TONS The frames have been of re-
inforced concrete and these have been
covered on the outside with wire net
ting and on the inside with a similar
layer, thus forming a double hull en-
closing water-tight compartments. A
final coating of pure GENE gives the
outside a brightly finished appearance.
Such vessels are claimed to have the
advantage of rapidity and cheapness in
building, low cost of maintenance, great
resistance to waves and shock and of
being-unlike wooden vessels-quite
fireproof.
The new files produced by a Sheffield,
England, firm are stated to be the re-
suit of much experimenting, in which
a special chrome steel has been de-
veloped. Under test one of the files,
making 100000 strokes In 1914 hours, has
removed 10A pounds of filing-a much
greater efficiency than the ordinary files
can show.

Mem and Things

During the recent visit to Biarritz of
King Edward a local reporter discov-
cred to a certainty that the monarch
carried revolver, says the New York
Times. A very pretty gold and ivory
affair." but a six-shooter just the same.
This caused further inquiry, resulting
in the discovery that most living mon
archs carry revolvers. Indeed, Edward
carried one before he became king. 1t
horse fell, receiving a mortal wound,
the then prince of Wales drew a re-
volver and put the animal out of his
agony.
On the body of the late King Carlos
of Portugal a loaded revolver was
found, but the crown prince, after being
shot, had strength enough to draw his
pistol and wound one of the assassins.
The German emperors revolver is
daily inspected by his gun charger and
freshly loaded. His majesty also has a
revolver lying on small table nearest
his bed.
In the bedroom of the murdered King
Alexander of Servia a small arsenal
was found when the conspirators en-
tered through the door shattered by
dynamite. If Alexander had not lost

OF all the crowned heads of Europe
who are sportsmen, and most of them
do indulge in recreation In one form or
another, there Is none more indefati-
gable or better all-around enthusiast
than King Alfonso, who has been so
much in the public eye in the last few
weeks through the threatened assassin
alton of the Spanish king on the occo-
sion of his recent visit to Barcelona.
This visit he did not postpone, despite
the threats against him and the advice
of his counsellors advocating post"
ponement of the same. He showed in
that determination to go to Barcelona
and carry through the plans the same
spirit he has displayed in his sports.
He is an ardent n1otorist, and before
his marriage was one of the most reck-
less speeders in all Spain.
When the naval appropriation bill
comes up in the house next week, says
the Washington Post, Representative
Loud will offer an amendment to give
a medal of honor to Dewey Nelson, aged
5. of Bangor township, Bay county,
Mich. Henry Nelson is a miner in Bay
county. He is the head of a family of
which Dewey is the oldest child. The
other day Mrs. Nelson was called away
from the house. She left little Dewey
in charge of the two other children. In
few moments he discovered that
clothes on a line near tho stove mad
been set on fire. The house was ablaze
in an instant.
Dewey first carried out his brother,
aged 3. Then he went back for the
baby girl. When he had worked his
way out he was carrying the baby in
one arm. while with the other he was
beating the flames out of the clothing
of the infant and himself.
When Admiral Dewey heard of the
affair he said: There's Dewey worth
more than any other one 1 know any,

a personal letter to his little namesake,
inclosing an autograph picture and
check.

"A fond mother whom / knew. anx-

Explaining the Ghost

The most popular creature in thea
tyical circles is "the ghost" and the
ghost is said ito walk" when salaries
are paid. The credit for originating
this phrase belongs to a company of
--lglish ST. olling players who, although
their salaries had long been in arrears,
were rehearsing Hamlet" The re-
hearsal progressed, but when Hamlet,
referring to the ghost. exclaimed:
"Perchance twill walk again." that
sordid spirit yelled back again en-
phatically mol I'm damned If the
ghost walks any more until our sal
aries are aid!"--Bohemian

Quaint and Curious

Newton's telescope, which Sir David
Gill proudly exhibited to his juvenile
audience at the Royal institution in
London recently. is clumsy looking
instrument nine inches in length, two
inches in aperture and capable of
magnifiying thirty-eight times. 1t was
entirely made by Newton himself who
first exhibited it before the Royal So
ciety in 1911; and more than hundred
years later his successor in the presi-
dency of the society laid before George
III Sir William Herschel's scheme for
making telescope on Newton's plan,
to be forty feet in length and four feet
in aperture.
Owls do not appear to be the only
luminous birds The authors of THE
Water Birds of North America" allude
to the phosphorescent plumage of the
great blue heron. The breast feathers
of this species, it appears, are fur
nished with a downy, light emitting
substance. The bird itself is known as
the "bird lantern" 1t is suggested
that the luminosity may be of service
to the bird both by attracting the fish
and enabling it to see them.
In the Bank of England's museum

tie larger than common seaman's

list PLAIN DRINK.

One day the son of a prominent pro-
fessional man in Rock Island was
taken suddenly i'll, and the lad fell in
a stupor to the floor. The family is
one where wine is a common table
article, and a goodly supply is always
kept in the cellar. The mistress of
the house thought that perhaps the
lad had accidentally obtained a glass
containing a portion of wine and a
poisonous acid, and she promptly sum-
moned three physicians. The physic-
ians examined the boy, but could not
rouse him from his stupor, and were
at loss to know what the matter
was. Finally one of the neighbors
suggested rolling the boy. That was
done Then it was suggested that he
be picked up by his feet That toe
was done.
When one of the physicians saw the
result, he said, 81 should diagnosis
this case as one of plain drunk"
