Uncle Sans Sober Sailors.

The $4,000 enlisted men have proved
themselves. The great majority were
green when they Lett Hampton Roads.
To-day they are seasoned seamen, full
of confidence and proud of having had
a part in so important a demonstra-
ton; and in this connection they have
set an example that will inevitably be
of much good to the navy, says the
Metropolitan magazine. It was becom-
ing difficult to get enough men to enlist.
Even with extensive advertising, and
the establishment of recruiting stations
in all sections of the country, there
we're not enough men coming In. This
voyage has stimulated the necessary in
terest among the young men Of the
country.
Jack ashore has put the prophets to
shame and the temptations he has had
to combat have been great. At every
port of call, Admiral Evans allowed
great numbers of the men shore leave,
but they were given to understand that
the continuation of such favors depend
ed on their behavior. They were told,
too. that to a certain extent the honor
Of their country was in their keeping.
Patrols were sent ashore to watch the
men and the result Of all this was that
Jack had a very good time and enjoyed
the hospitality extended him without
abusing it and getting himself in trou-

KING EDWARD A BUSY NAN.
But the Kaiser Spends More Time
Than He Does In Dressing.

Even Theodore the much occupied
is q person OF leisure compared with
Edward VII. The London correspon-
dent of Town and Country reports
the contents of a note from one OF
the Kings equerries stating that his
Majesty's engagements do not war
rant him in the disposal of a single
hour before September" And the
note was written early in June.
According to the correspondent
King Edward puts in more time at
real work than the Emperor Of Ger
many does, for fully quarter of the
Nmperor's time is occupied in his
dressing room. The King seld IN
changes his clothes more than th,ee
times a day, morning. afternoon and
evening, whereas the Kaiser has be-
come a veritable FregoIi in the man
ner OF DOMINIC and domng his cos
TUNES.
The first thing in the morning he
is up in the greenish riding costume
Of German jaeger. A hard hours
riding brings him back to his bath.
which he comes adorned in a
plain morning costume made for bust
ness purposes. An hour or two in
this monotonous garb fully fits the
Emperor for something more elabor-
ate, and if there is. no reception on
he appears in the undress uniform OF
the Guards.
This carries him until luncheon
time. after which there are some
three hundred uniforms to select
from, and as the Kaiser usually has
two or three functions of some sort
to perform he makes use of his vast
wardrobe regularly and in proper
rotation 1t is in the evening that
the Kaiser is less brilliant.
He makes but a poor show in even
ing dress; in fact as a civilian he
is not a success. His frock coats,
according to the discerning editor
of the Tailor and Cutter, sartorial
expert, hang loosely and in most
undistinguished manner, and his even
ing dress waistcoats are things not
only to be worn by German renters
and French mayors.
There is only one fortress during
all these years that King Edward
has not been able to capture, and
that is the stern determination Of
public opinion to resist with all its
might the encroachment of the tail
white hat. Every season for years
both as King and Prince of Wales
he has attempted to lead the nation
into the realms of white hatdom, but
this is the one thing wherein people
will not follow their sovereign.

WHALE scAREs LoBsTERMEN.

They were at Tinker's Island, just
out of Marblehead harbor, engaged
in pulling in their traps, when they
noticed that little fish were swim

paid no attention to this, when sud
denly a large whale rose out of the
water within ten feet of their motor
boat, and gave them a shower bath.
They were badly frightened and
were prepared to jump overheard.
when the whale sank again. All the
power in the boat was put on anu
record time made back to shore. All
the other motor boats in the vicinity,
seeing their great haste and won
dering what the trouble was, put IN
at the same time.

been seen around Marblehead, where
they feed on little fish and it is be-

CHOICE OF A Ba1AR PIPE
Get One Which Is Smooth Inside the
Bowl, Says the CoIIeSiau

Get One Which Is Smooth Inside the
Bowl, Says the CoIIegian.
AZ collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color Of his brlar-
wood pipes and pretends to know lot
more about them than any ordinary
smoker spent half an hour in a to-
bacconist's shop a few afternoons ago
making an addition to his already
large collection.
Some pipes he discarded because Of
the grain in the wood; there was too
much stripe or too much birdseye, he
remarked. When he found one which
suited him he put it aside until he had
gathered three or four which apparent
ly were all right, and then came his
final test to pick out the best of them
all.
He held each with the bowl toward
the light, then slowly rubbed his little
finger inside. Two he discarded, then
repeated the operation with the others
until only one remained out of the dis
card. That one he bought.
Want 'em smooth inside" he ex-
planned. "A briar pipe roughly finished
inside the bowl isn't worth bother ing
with. l wouldn't take one for a gift |:
wouldn't take the trouble to try to
break it in, for it will never be any
good. 1t won't cake up right and it'll
never be nice and sweet.
I've got theory that when the In
side of the bowl is rough all the little
edges and points Of the wood char and
burn the first time you smoke 1t, and
burnt pipe is no good. That's why 1
always take pipe that has bowl as
smooth ON the inside as on the out
g"Then 1t doesn't char, but cakes up
evenly and gets good in a little time.
Maybe the theory Is wrong, but 1t has
worked out well in my own experience,
and some Of my friends who have tried
it agree with me-"

TOBOGGANING IN SUMM ER.
New Sport in Austria-Other uses
for the Mountain Sleigh.

Summer visitors at the SemmerlnS
and other mountain resorts near
Vienna are this season enjoying to-
bogganing-a sport hitherto confined
to the winter months.
The new summer toboggan has a
body shaped very much like the or
binary winter article, and mounted
on four low wheels. Equipped with
a strong and reliable brake, as well
as steering apparatus, it affords a
pleasant and speedy means of de-
scending mountain and hill paths, and
has already become very popular
among tourists.
1t is expected that the new tobog-
gan will have other uses besides sport
and amusement, for it offers a swift
and ready vehicle for carrying mes
senger from the mountain hotels to
the towns and villages below or IN
summoning medical aid in case OF &C.

semmering range and also on the
hills near Vienna with the new sleigh

that bridge and relaid it, in corduroy
fashion, with round pieces Of timber set
very closely together, but which revolve
when an auto or any other vehicle
strikes them. Then, under that bridge
and attached to the logs, he framed up
a system Of cogs which work whenever
the bridge floor does. He carried a
piece of betting to the house and at
tached it to the handle of revolving
churn.
Now, every time anything passes over
that bridge the floor turns, and the
turning of the floor turns his churn,
over and over. with marvellous rapidity.

Secrets of Wright Aeroplane.

Orville Wright, one of the brother in
ventors of the successful flying machine,
who has taken new model to Fort Myer,
Va, for a government test, now talks
freely to the public about the construc-
ton of the machine, as patents cover all
the essential parts. The new model is
40 feet wide over all and 80 feet from
stem to stern, standing about feet high.
1t has one motor, made by the Wrights,
which develops % to so horse power. 1t
has no carburetor and the gasoline is
pumped directly into the pipes, where the
mixture is formed. No effort is made to
control the speed of the motor, as it is
adjusted to run at its maximum. The
speed of the airship is regulated by the
angle of the planes, and the resistance
they offer to the air. The frame is made
of silk spruce and ash. The webbing
is made of unbleached muslin, and there
are about 500 square feet to the lifting
planes. The whole machine weighs about
800 pounds without supplies, operator or
passengers, and when in action has about
2 pounds of weight for every lift of
square foot of plane. This is greater
than some birds and less than some. In
sects have the greatest lifting power for
their weight. The inventor says that the
faster you go the less lifting surface you
need. The new model is expected to make
forty miles an hour. The motor weighs
ITO pounds and will run at | 400 revolu-
tons a minute, which, with the gearing,
makes the two propellers travel 500 revo-
buttons minute. There is q horizontal
rudder in front and a vertical one be-
hind. This machine has three levers, al
though the one in France has only two
They are used to bend the planes and
to turn the rudder. The start is made
from a single rail, and the landing is
made on skids. Wilbur Wright, continu-
ing his flights in France, has succeeded
IN making a speed of so kilometers an
hour with the wind.
