In this connection it is perhaps, inter-
esting to note that the Delaware is equip
ped with reciprocating engines. In fact,
the North Dakota is the first American
battleship of the first class to have tur-
bne engines installed.
Capt Edward G. Evans. who narrowly
escaped death when the tug NeZinescott
was sunk off Cape Ann several months
ago, was lin charge of the North Dakota
today. A working crew of 400 men push
ed the vessel to her record performance.
Beginning at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, the North Dakota is to be put
through the second test, a fourhours run
at y knots. 1t is expected that an aver
age of about p. 10 knots will be developed
The run will end off Boston light, where
the North Dakota will anchor and prepare
for her 24-hours run at l. knots. Follow
ing this she will go under another a.
hour test at 10 knots.
Within six months it is expected the
North Dakota and the Delaware will take
their places in the van of the American
navy's line of sea fighters.

Madame Marguerite Steinheil, whose ex-
animation on the charge of havin" muir
dered her husband Adolphe and her STEP
mother. was concluded at the assize
court today, made wonderful single
handed fight for her life, displaying as
much skill In confounding the Judge as
she had in battling the police. She pre-
sented dramatic figure in the dock. her
black mourning gown accentuating the
pallor of her face. When caught in the
meshwork of conflicting stories previously
told she had recourse to tears or with up
lifted eyes and arms extended made fer
vent appeals to the jury.
The most experienced court reporters
in France consider Madame Steinhei the
most consmnate actress who has ever
appeared before the bar of Justice. while
the dramatic critics believe that she might
have been world-famous tragedienne.
The procedure of the criminal
courts of France. which makes the Judge
a torturing prosecuting attorney, natur-
ally awakens sympathy for the prisoner
and paradoxical as it seems the public
conviction is strong already that Ma
dame Steinheil may be guilty, but will
not be convicted. The intense public in
terest in the case is shown by the fact
that newspapers printed extras contain

A summary of the days evidence
shows that the judge failed to shake
Nine. Steinhei1s original version OF
the crime. She admitted intrigue, but
heatcGly denied that she sent her
mother to solicit money from her low
erS and she insisted that her husband
never profited by her own immoral
life. Admitting that she had done
wrong, in fearful voice she besought
the jury to pardon her faults. She de-
Tended herself by saying that since she
did not live with her husband as his
wife, she longed for sympathy and love.
When confronted with the incon-
Sisten'e in her stories she justified
| them by saying hat she lost her head
vixen harrassed ~ journalists and de-
tectivcs and had thus been led TO be-
Ieve that those whom she had ac-
cuSed were perhaps guilty. The judge
led the woman again and again over
the story of the crime itself, and af-
ter suggesting that she had probably
worked out fantastic plot, in which
she introduced red bearded men and
a red haired woman, taken from books
or adapted from some similar crime of
which she had read in her youth, con-
fronted her with the charges of having
dyed her dressing gowns after the muir
der, to get rid of tell-tale ink stains
| and of having changed some of her
stepmother's bedding. He also pointed
| out that the gag when taken from
Nine. Steinheirs mouth was not moist
ened by saliva. and declared that there,
| fore, the gagcing was a farce and the
whole story trumped up.
Nine. Steinheil Indignantly denied
| these charges and boldly declared that
| if the gag did not show saliva it was
because tie doctors examined the
wrong gag. She asserted that she had
no motive in dying her gowns.

The contrast between the rich orange
groves and fruitful vineyards of the
coastal plain at JaffaN and the barren. de-
nuded hills about Jerusalem is most strik-
ing. At Jaffa the people seem to live In
nappsness. children laugh and play in the
streets, the market place is crowded with
busy men, and there is not such great
difference from the ordinary aspects OF
life as seen in modern cities.
But when one comes to Jerusalem there
ia so much poverty. so much misery, so
little industry and so much religion that
one feels himself to be in another world.
II will not be strange If the tourist, after

religious tradition and wish himself back
among the orange groves and the life OF
modern Jaffa.
