THE NEW NAVY
REGULATIONS
Those Regulating the Physi-
cal Tests For Officers Are
to Be Announced by Secre-
tary Newberry.
By Associates Pre...

Washington, Dec. 39.-Regulations
governing the physical tests to be
given officers of the navy will very
soon be promulgated by Secretary
Newberry. These regulations provide
for physical test which is believed
to be equivalent to that which has
been applied to the army and marine
corps. A walking test, it is under
stood, will be the basis of the naval
regulation, but officers SO desiring may
have the option of substituting horse
back or bicycling endurance tests.
Officers of the army have been sub
jected to a physical test for over a
year and in the opinion of officers
this regulation has done much TO
maintain higher physical condition
among army officers detailed for Of
nee work than has ever been known
in the past. Officers realizing that
they will be required to give proof OF
their power of physical endurance a
year, have been extremely careful to
maintain a good physical condition at
all times by means of regular exer-
else They have also accustomed
themselves TO take daily walks or
horseback rides so that when the time
of their annual test Is reached they
find themselves able 10 meet il with
little or no preparation.
These same results, il is believed. !

Commander Craven Yielded Life That

The higher and more valuable life
the more ready it is to lay itself at

times seem that the sacrifice were too

Mr.. Hutchinson in his Battle of Mo-

impresses the merit of the whole char.

carries it far in influence and rev.

Not Altogether Intuitive.

The French newspapers related the
other day that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
arrived at Paris from Marseilles and
Lyons. The cabman who brought him
from the station to the hotel addressed
him by his name. Sir Arthur was sur
prised and asked how he knew. The
cabman replied that he had read in
the paper that the famous Conan
Doyle would come to Marseilles and
Lyons, and he had observed at once
that the strangers hair was cut by a
Marseilles barber, and that on the
heel of his left shoe was dirt from
Lyons. The novelist was highly graft
fed to see that his Sherlock Holmes"
method proved so successful. The
great detective mind then asked
whether there was still another symp-
tom which had led to his recognition.
"Yes," said the cabman, finally, your
full name is painted On your trunk"

Animals Without Moral Sense

Prof. Schuster asserts that animals
,ack moral feeling entirely, none of
heir acts being immoral or moral, in
he broad sense, and that they have no
race of a sense of shame or of honor
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse of nature" and of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
And animals have no pride, in the
sense OF mans conception of that
.uality. They are not proud of their
Kind, of their kindred, of their indi-
viduality. They neither have an IL
,dividuality nor are Individual AM
mails are not proud because they have
no consciousness of the scope of the
value of their kind, of their enterprise
or of any other form of their capabil
ity; they are neither supercilious,
proud, nor the contrary, that is,

Famous Character Is Dead.

An interesting personality has just
passed away at Brighton, England, in
William Oliver, marquis de Leuville.
Of striking though somewhat eccentric
appearance, the marquis was in his
younger days an exceedingly hand
some man. Both the early and latter
part of his life was spent in England,
but for many years he resided in
France and Italy, and was a master
of the languages of both countries. OF
a naturally amiable disposition, he was
quick to resent affront. A skillful
shot, and more skillful swordsman,
he was the hero of several exciting
duels, while his remarkable encounter

famer Of a lady with whom his name
was then associated, is still fresh in
the public memory. As writer Of
verse he was far above the average,
as the several editions of his book,

numerous songs published under his
name perhaps the most successful was
"The First Kiss" which ran into some.
thing like 100000 copies.
