One of the speakers at the anti vivisection congress at London last July told how Canadian women had presented Queen Alexandra with sew eral long -maned. long-tailed horses. But prior to their dispatch the horses were docked by a veterinary surgeon. The queen is opposed to the practice of docking, and the horses were re- turned to Canada They were replaced at the veterinary's expense by un- docked animals, thus closing an inci- dent which the veterinary has turned from a pleasant into an unpleasant one.

Women who cry easily have some consolation in the theory of Dr. Lin- dahl of Copenhagen that tears not on- ly soothe the troubled spirit, but they sthe-iIize the face and so prepare the way to comeliness. The sodium chlo- ride. or saltiness, of tears clears the eye and refreshes the delicate mechan- ism of the organ. In their passage down the face they kill and carry away millions of germs that they meet on the way. In other words. it is nec- essarv to have a tear bath, if one would be beautiful, at frequent inter ValS.

The third class, just sanctioned, are
the monsters Oklahoma and Wyoming,
of 26,5O0 tons apiece, mounting IL II
inch, of which 10 will fire on either
broadside and two be held in reserve
as in the Dreadnought.
The japanese in their new ships Of
$4,000 tons (of which there are three
or more building) have adopted prac-
tically the same design, though some
accounts give them IA guns, the fore
most and aftermost turrets, it is said,
being designed to carry three guns
each-a most unlikely arrangement.
Finally, the French, in the Danton
class, of which the first ship, the Vol
taire, was launched on Jan. 16, have
adopted a two-caliber plan similar to
our Lord Nelson and AgamemnOn and
the Japanese Satsuma and Aki. That
is to say, in addition to four Pinch
guns in turrets fore and aft on the
center line they carry IL 9.4-inch,
mounted in pairs in three turrets on
each broadside. Many naval officers
affect a preference for this armament,
but the reason is not very clear. The
guns are crowded together and must
interfere with each other, and, more
over, on whatever bearing the vessels
fight they must always have an inOrdi-
nate proportion Of their armament out
of action.

Catching Butterflies by the Ton.
The caterpillars of certain kind OF
night butterfly called nuns" have
wrought enormous devastation during
the last few years in the fir woods OF
Germany and other middle European
countries, where many thousands OF
acres have become prey to the voraci-
GUS insect, necessitating the hurried
telling of many millions Of cubic feet
Of wood.
In combating this dangerous foe OF
the forests excellent results have been
obtained in the course of the past year
in the city of Zittau, Saxony, where
electric lamps have been used as insect
traps
Huge searchlights of about forty am
peres each were erected, throwing their
enormous light beams on the parts
most frequently visited by insects OF
the neighboring city forests. These
searchlights were found to exert an in
tense attraction.
The butterflies were then destroyed
by an Observation-Disclosures In the
immediate proximity Of each of the
searchllghts. A piece Of wire gauzt
mesh was stretched out In front of the
discharging opening of the exhauster
and the butterflies on being thrown
against this would break their wingA-

Short Suggestions


Scaling fish is easier if first dipped il
boiling water.
Do not put turnips on to cook in
large pieces. 1t only wastes fuel.
A little kerosene added to the wash
| water is said to make the clothes extra
white.
Apples cored for baking are delicious
filled with orange marmalade and a
little butter and sugar.
To scour brass, dip half a lemon in
table salt and rub over the surface.
Rinse off in clea rwater and rub dry.
Save the water in which potatoes
have been boiled and use it to wash
furnished brass. 1t will come out as
bright as new.
A good silence cloth for the dining
table can be made with double thick
ness of white flannel laid with the soft
side on the inside and quilted on the
machine; edge with a binding Of white
tape.
To restore discolored ivory, paint it
with spirits Of turpentine and lay it in
the sunshine for two or three days.
If one wishes a little stiffness in the
veil which is being washed add a tiny
bit Of sugar to the rinsing water. Then
stretch the filmy substance in a door
way, where it will have a free current
of air as it dries.
After washing lace curtains lay a
blanket on the floor in some empty
room, spread the curtains on the
blanket, stretching them carefully, and
they will keep their place without any
fasteninus until dried

Dreadnought, compared with later
Dreadnoughts and Superb readnoughts
designed for our own and foreign ma
vies With the Neptune we shall CON-
plete a group of eight homogeneous
ships.
Inc Germans, like ourselves. have
eight vessels in hand of one type. but
of dlspiacements rising from 1900 to
1900 tons. AS regards their arma-
ment, 1t is said that they will mount
twelve 11-inch-guns, eight on the cen
ter line and four in turrets placed en-
echelon, as in the Invicible class, so
as to fire on either broadside. On the
face OF 1t this gives them broadside
of $40 pounds as compared with $500
pounds for the Dreadnought But the
bearing of the turrets en- echelon is
very limited and their net broadside,
effective against any ship not absolute
ly on the beam, is 1900 pounds.
The eight American Dreadnoughts
represent three different types. The
first two (Michigan) carry eight u
inch guns on the center line, their
weight of broadside being the same as
the Dreadnought's, but without guns
in reserve. The Delaware class flour
ships) have 10 Pinch guns on the
center line, with broadside of $500
pounds; but the guns are SO crowded
that great interference is certain and
their ahead and astern fire is weak.
