anchor line, was stretched above the
two parts of the cable line and attached
10 special appliance on the superstruc-
ture of the batteship and rested in a
saddle on the sheer poles: THENCE it led
over pulleys at the head of the foremast
and mainmast of the collier and astern
several hundred feet to the sea. On the
end of this rope a drag, or sea anchor
was attached, and made of a size de-
pendent upon the speed at which the
coaling vessel was moved. This illus
tration shows The Massachusetts taking
coal under this system from the collier

The last experiment of coaling at sea
was made off Cape Henry about year

trolley system. when United States
naval board made test to coal the bat
tleship Iowa. Ihe device failed 70 deliver
sixty tons an hour as required for a
period OF eight hours and with the col

all hands much good.
There are no really high-priced per-

multiplication OF acts and increased num-

i in her career in Washington cosmo-
polite environs. She is an accom-
plished musician; not a ''piano play
err of the summary type, but a stu
dent who has devoted nours TO the
mastery of technique and months to
the labor of biographical reading
and the study of the history and
theory of the art. She carries with
he a trophy presented to her by
the musicians and music 1overs of
Cincinnati in recognition of her dis
interested work in the promotion of
music and music stuGy in thatcity.
Next to Mrs. James A. Garfield,
Mrs. Taft is the youngest lady of the
Cabinet. She loses no opportunity
to aid by means of many social graceS
which have been given her the in
spirations of her distinguished hus-
band. Mrs. Taft is a believer in high
er education for women. and her eld-
est daughter is a student at Bryn
Mawr. Mrs. Taft takes great delight
and pride in the progress of her chill
dren and is always ready to give
them the assistance of which she is
fully capable.
She is past master in the gentle
art of the little supper" and that
she can meet all corners with a ready
greeting was demonstrated last sum-
mer on the occasion of Secretary
Taft's reception tc the officers of the
visiting fleet of foreign warships at
Hampton Roads. China, Italy, Japan,
France and Germany had represen-
tatives among the sailormen. Italy's
king sent his cousin, the duke of
Abruzzi. Japan sent her war heroes
and the personnel of every embassy
and legation in the city congregated
with resident and official society in
the great ballroom, at the head of
which stood Mrs. Taft, looking girl
ish in her radiancy as she gave a
word of greeting to eacn guest.
Mrs. Tafts receptions are among
the most popular in Washington. She
is a graceful, easy hammered hostess,
as well as a charming woman in ev-
cry way. Much travel, in which she
delights. has supplied her with
fund of anecdote which is never ex-
hausted. and upon which she draws
freely as a means of entertainment.
She is also devoted to reading and is
altogether a very intelligent woman.
Mrs. Taft is perhaps, less Interested
in the actual domestic part of her
home than some of the other ladies
who are her rivals for the occupancy
of the White House. In social graces
she excels, however, and is cordial
and earnest in her manner to a de-

Washington, July with the
presidential choice narrowed down to
Taft and Bryan, women of Washing
heir tongues in discussion of the in
teresting subject as to who will be
the successor of Mrs. Roosevelt as
the "first lady of the land. While
Mrs. Taft is naturally better known
in Washington society than the wife
of the Nebraskan, and is a great fav-
orite here, the latter has many
friends and "boomers" among the
women of the national capital. In
this favoritism there is very little OF
politics, the adherents of both Mrs
Taft and Mrs. Bryan basing their
argument on social grounds.
To the unprejudiced observer,
there is little to choose between these
two candidates for the position as
mistress of the White House. Both
are charming, cultured and demo-
cratic women, fully competent to play
the difficult part of White House
hostess. While Mrs. Taft has had
a wider experience in social affairs
than Mrs. Bryan, the natural tact of
the latter is such as to make her
equal to any situation.
If fate should hit upon William
H. Taft as the nations choice for

Mrs. Taft can laugh as readily as her
husband, if not so loudly. She sees
