French warships the prettic.t.

The American navy, in times of
peace, presents most agreeable ap-
pearance to the eye. In time of war
it takes on, however, a drab exterior.
which in point Of aesthetic coloring is
by no means a delight. During the
Spanish-American war the American
vessels were painted a dull ashen gray.
Russia did not learn this lesson from
America, for during her war with ia
pan her warships remained as in times
of peace, a bright green and white
picture on the blue waves. The Japs
had learned the better lesson, which
originated naturally enough in Eng
land, whose vessels are so painted
and permanently-as to be wholly In
distingushabie from the coast line and
the color is composed of a mixture Of
white lead and SCOT.
Germany paints her vessels a light
blush color; Italy's warships are col
ored a dark gray. and those of France
which have not seen active service for
so many years, are certainly the pref
TEST to be seen in Europe, in point Of
coloring. Undoubtedly they would
change in war time.

Basis of Shoe Numbers.

1t is remarkable how little is known
about the widths of shoes, and a retail
shoe salesman has some interesting ex-
periences along this line, says the Com
mercial Bulletin. When a customer
comes in he is usually asked, more out
of courtesy than anything else, "What
size do you wearf'' He answers, prob
ably. "Give me No. -
"What width do you wearf' asks
the clerk.
"Oh, l never pay any attention to
that, says the customer. 81 lust
ask for a 7 and as general thing il
fits me. -
That man does not know, or if he
knows, he does not stop to think, that
No. Z shoe can be had in about seven
different widths, the wider ones of
which it might be possible for him to
get both feet in; the narrower ones of
which he probably could not get his
big toes in.
narrow shoe. 1t is true a great MANY
factories carry that width, or rather,
mark shoes that width for the accom-.
mediation of customers who imagine
they have very narrow foot; but in
reality they are wider than "AA 81
"There ism one man or woman in
hundred who can wear an 'AA' shoe. -
said an old experienced retail salesman.
Many imagine they can and get shoes
marked 'AA,' but a real, sure-enough
AA' is just about the width of NV
three fingers.
In smaller towns where variety of
width is not carried, shoe statesmen are
often as ignorant as the wearers, d 8.
E IS, and GEES being about the only
widths they are familiar with.
This brings up the question, what is
the basis of numbers in shoes, and what
is the basis of the last number.
When the latter part of the question
is answered, we have also answered the
first part. The basis of last numbers
is the basis of shoe numbers. Shoes
are made over lasts. A shoe made on
49, B last will be BIB shoe; shoe
made over last will be 7 C shoe
The 315 refers to the length; the B
refers to the width.
The basis of shoe sizes is arbitrary:
Size 1 is Az inches long. We do not
know why this is so and offer no ex
PLANTATION for it, but that is what it is
Four and a quarter inches was the
measure decided upon as size l so Ions
ago that nobody knows who decided it
or where After that, every 1-3 of al
inch means another full size, so thai
there are three full sizes and six hall
sizes to the inch.
The width of the shoe is as importan
a question as the length In men IS an,
women s shoes the difference between
one width and the next is Is of an inch
and any certain letter in a certain siz
means a different measurement than tn
> same letter in any other size; that is
the widths are different measurement
in different sizes, and naturally tn
larger the size the larger the measure
; ment indicated by the width. Thus
6 A measures ~ inches around tn
ball; 615 A measures 7H niche
around the ball and A measures
inches. In this way, one inch in lengt
includes many different sizes of shoe,
If each size is represented by all til
: widths from AA to EE.

eIRL SHORTHAND woNpER.

Ruth Ohbon, a 14-year-old San Fran
cisco girl, has established a new world s
record for her age for rapid shorthand
writing. In test before Superior Judge
Thomas E. Graham the girl wrote $50
words in five minutes and read the same
correctly. The statutory provisions Of
the courts in this state are $50 words in
five minutes, Miss Ohbon's record is
considered phenomenal, as the matter
read to and written by her was taken
from transcript of proceedings from
the court files and entirely strange to
her.

guilty of such negligence that he can
sot hold the railroad company liable for
injuries caused by being struck by the
train, which approaches without giving
any signals, although the stoppage Of
the wheel is due TO the removal Of the
planking so that a trench is left in the

lived Mith Rroken Neck-

To live 1874 days with a broken neck
was the record of Walter Canning, a
well developed IS year old boy who
died in Brooklyn recently. Diving in
the waters of Sheepshead bay on Aug
10, Canning struck bottom and the tor
of his spine was driven into the base
of his skull. After remaining uncon
cious for three days, an operation was
performed in which the spinal cord was
laid bare. The youth recovered con
seriousness and the use of the right side
of the body. He was removed to his
home apparently on the road to re-
covery, but again lost consciousness
and was taken back to the hospital,
where he died.
