NATAL CONTESTS
necessary

Another important step has been taken in the interest of engineering in the navy by the es- tablshment of conditions by which there may be competition in economical achievements of steam. These contests are arranged between battle ships, armored cruisers, torpedo-boat de- stroyers and torpedo boats. They will be of great practical value and will contribute to progress in an important branch of training afoat. It will stimulate an effort in the direc- ton which means a saving in fuel, although ef- fort in that direction is strictly forbidden when 1t is at the sacrifice of the power necessary for the proper training of the personnel or the gen eral health of the crew and efficiency of the ship The winning vessels will receive suitable trophies, and money prizes will be given to the men of the engineer force of the successful ships, the shares ranging from $15 in the case of chief petty officers to $5 in the case of coal passers. This places these contests in prac- tical branch of work on footing of the compe. titions in craftsmanship with their gunnery prizes.
 It has been found that nothing promotes personal interest in the details of training so much as these competitions with their prizes to the individuals. It creates a pride in the ship and produces satisfaction with the result which is reached by industry, conscientiously and intelligently applied. The wider benefit of this process is received by the men of the fire room force and the knowledge gained from a trial of the methods. It is the development of naval engineering in its relation to steaming of ships and the speed of vessels that must be of great assistance to the fleet in time of war.

NECESSITY AND AN INTENTION Shakespeare in "As You Like It." admon- ishes us
"Sweet are the uses of adversity. :"

We do not know. Some strange things fall out in this old work-a-day world and stern nec- essity is the mother of many curious and gro tesque invention. Here comes the Literary Di- gest, for instance and bravely shoves beneath our eyes bewildering and all but convincing testimony to show that whisk is not an antidoto for snake bit, but is, on the contrary, an aggra. vatng agent and club in the venom's hand brushing aside the matter of rhetoric for the moment for the sake of the otherwise emphatic picturesqueness of the expression as 1t stands). It must be admitted that this scientific promn- gation knocks many an ancient and generally approved superstition galley west Time was when no man was believed to be out of danger when bitten by any sort of snake, from the deadly rattIer to the inoffensive blacksnake, be fore he had been rather literally saturated with spiritus frumenti of any approximate degree of excellence. It is even hinted that some people in the world have kept trained snakes about the place in order that they might bite their mas ters at opportune moments now and then That probably, is not more than half a truth, how ever, so we will let it pass as not strictly ree want.
 An Alabama man, hailing from the Sahara like environs of Montgomery, goes the Literary Digest one better He admits that whisky is the wrong medicine for snake bite-iust as our contemporary contends-but he adds that ker- osene oil is sure cure if imbibed copously and promptly. Sweet are the uses of diversity" indeed Why, this is worse than the German emperor's suggestion that tea be substituted for beer in the imperial army. One may for sake his cakes and ale for ady-fngers and tea but declining well-regalated highball, say, for kerosene cocktail! Ye gods and little fishes!
 The man of poise and common sense-he who takes the things the Oympian deities provide, and lets it go at that-has profound and abid- ing respect for ingenuity whenever and where ever that divine attribute crops cut rationally. Mankind in the main would agree, perhaps, of course, with diversified emotion that whisky whatever whisky is, anyway-should sensibly be regulated to the rear as an antidote for snake bite. But surely genius stimulated by evidence in prohibition territory among other things-should be able to tender us something in its place more paatable than .ei'- osene oil

OfPdssing Interest
Massachusetts women and Ballo.

There is in Massachusetts a society with the pretentious title: "The As sociation Opposed to the Further Es tension of Suffrage to Women.'' lis l4,549 members. all over twenty-ope years, live in 263 cities, towns and vii lages. Its quarterly publication, The Remonstrance, calls attention to the de feat this year of proposed Legislation for woman suffrage in sixteen states The Massachusetts legislature this year refused to propose a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage, an an. nually reeurrent proposition, by the largest majority in fifty years. The society's publication concludes that Massachusetts women desire the bal lot no more than they wish to smoke brier pipes. They have been repellei in part by descriptions of scenes ia colardo, where women, it is stated. have not played an altogether seemly part at caucuses and polling places.
