dent took place at one Of the large
London glove stores.
Lady, to saleswoman: "These are
not the latest style, are they3" eyes
madam, we have only had them in stock

because the fashion paper says black
kids have tan stitches and vice versa;

Robinson Crusoe had been scared stiR
by the tracks Of the savages, and felt
that his end was ut hand.
Naturally, his first thought was to
provide himself with a coffin.
"But what about cofin.nailsf" he ex-
claimed, looking very blank.
For considerable time it appeared
that there was nothing to be done.
However, as he considered the matter
further, there at length evolved the ex-
pedient of rolling up palm leaves and
filing them with his bits of rope, Of
which he possessed an abundance.

How We Compare with other COun-
tries I'm Monster BattIeships.
The silhouettes, says the London
Graphic, show the size of our original
Dreadnought compared with later
Dreadnoughts and Super Dreadnoughts
designed for our own and foreign ma
V1es. With the Neptune we shall COM
plete a group Of eight homogeneous
ships.
The Germans, like ourselves, have
eight vessels in hand of one type, but
Of d1splacements 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 it this gives them a broadside
of 9,120 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 12-
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 a broadside Of $500
pounds; but the guns are so crowded
that great interference is certain and
their ahead and astern fire is weak.

An eastern college graduate applied
for work in a Michigan lumber camp.
He was told to get busy on one end
of cross.saw, the other end being in
charge of an old and experienced lum-
herman. At first all went well, but at
the end of the second day the young
man . strength began to wane. Sudden

whose lesser resistance enables them to
be carried to great distances for the
translation into air vibrations again, as
only the air vibrations can be meas
ured by the ear. In the wireless tele-
phone the air waves are translated into
vibrations of an electrical discharge
which oscillates the ether.
The ether waves sent out by the
transmitting station, having been there
modified by the human voice, are
changed back at the receiving station
into such a form as to affect the re-
ceiver and cause the exact air vibra-
tions which were made to modulate the
transmitting current, and, therefore, the
words of the speaker are heard exactly
as spoken.
DR.. DeForest bases his claims for
success on his past experiments with
the wireless telephone at the sugges-
ton of Admiral Evans, who conducted
the experiments on board his flag ship,
the Connecticut, and another vessel.
Every battleship, cruiser and torpedo
boat of the great Pacific fleet was
equipped with radio wireless tele-
phones before setting out ON the memo
rable cruise. These instruments were
given a thorough trial in inter-ship
communication and in conversation with
several wireless stations ON the Pacific
coast.
In the meantime, the young inventor
has not been content to rest on the
laurels obtained from his successful
work in the navy, and has carried on
many experiments, both at home and
abroad. In May, 1908, from the Eiffel
tower, wireless messages were sent by
the radio telephone to every. wireless
station in France. A warship off Mar.
settles, nearly 600 miles away, heard
the transmitted messages just as dis
tSnctly as did the stations near Paris.
While doing this DR.. DeForest had
equipped several of the vessels of the
Italian navy, and the instruments met
with such decided success that an ar,
rangement has been practically con,
cluded for the equipment of the entire
navy.
Mrs. DeForest is quite as interest
ing as her inventor husband. She grad
uated from Cornell University in the
difficult science of civil engineering
She was the first and only woman t.
graduate from an eastern college il
this profession. After her graduation
honors were heaped upon her until sh,
stood before the world as its foremos

remarkable example of woman IS intel
lectual equality with man.
She was the first woman ever elected
to membership in the American Societ,
of Civil Engineers. She helped to bull,
the greatest waterworks system in tn
worlds history, being on the engin
eering staff charged with the building
of the Catskill system. In June, 1907
she was elected Fellow of Cornell Uni
versity, an honor rarely conferred upol
women. While at Cornell she prove
herself to be the peer of any of tn
male athletes. She is leader of tn
equal rights movement and variou
movements designed to improve the SC
cial condition of all women. And nov
she further distinguishes herself b
being the first woman to engage in wire
less telephony.

mediately do so. Gold continues to go
out in small parcels. and the inflow
from other sources is not more than
offset Foreign exchange rates were
lower today, however. Meantime the
loan account continues to expand and
additional issues of new securities are
still in prospect. Yesterdays pay

BILE bonds is given credit for some of
the absorption OF available credit that
is influencing the call loan market
The intention to refund high interest
bearing bonds of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy was announced to-
day. The improved financial condi-
tion of railroad companies as a result
of loans already placed makes a
strong sustaining influence for values.
Another substantial support to conf
dence is found in the subsistence of
apprehension over the grain crop.
The special strength in the New York
Traction stocks was traceable to the
reports of earnings coming from the
receivers, in whose hands those
properties are held. The expectation
was expressed of an early agreement

influences overbore those of a less
