JOHN |. SULLIVAN ON
The FOURTH OF JULY

1t IS the duty OF every man to cele-
brate a day like this and to buy fire.
works for his family. I am in favor
of allowing the children to set part of
them off in the morning Of the Fourth,
for nobody knows how a boy suffers
If he has firecrackers and can't set
them off.
No country can celebrate a day as
well as we can We have got more
money than anybody else, and we GER
tainly have got enough speakers.
l suppose there are a hundred thou
sand men thinking up Fourth of July
speeches at this minute, and it is not
too many. l hope every one of those
men will remind the boys who listen
to him that this is the greatest country
on earth and that it can lick any other.
That is the great truth to keep ham,
mering home. Confidence in yourself
and confidence in your own country
should be every Americans motto, and
while he has that motto he can laugh
at kings and tyrants, because he knows
they stand no living chance.
As for the so called Americans that
bow down to English royalty and turn
up their pants without any cause, 1
have no excuses to make for them.
They are unworthy Of their country,
and, while I have known dudes that
could put up a pretty good fight in a
corner, l advise no man to rely ON
them.
My advice to Americans, young and
old, IS to be patriotic all the time. Yell
for your country and think Of George
Washington every time a irecracker
goes off. Invite your friends to share
with you in moderation whatever you
have and, without being boisterous, re-
mind every foreigner you see that
America can lick his country, which
ever it is. This drives the foreigners
to naturalization, which is only right,
and it keeps the sacred flame of patri-
otism alive.
AS a matter of fact, this is the only
country on earth, for If China is big
ger it makes no difference. 1t takes
all the good in a hundred Cinnamon to
make a bad American, anyhow, and,
besides, they don't know what to eat.
The Russian nation is big, but it Is
a mixed up crowd. I'm told they sleep
on stoves, and there isn't a day in any
week that we couldn't lick Russia.
The other nations don't count. Ire
land Is too small, and, besides, ireland
is a part of America. The Germans
and the French can speak foreign lam
guages, but fighting is not in their line
and new has been. In all history
you cannot find even a good middle
weight among the French. What is
more, they fight with their feet, and,
as poor old Toppy Mcguire used to say.
q man that will fight with his feet will
think with them.-John L. Sullivan in

THE PORHYDR0METER.
Ar Ingenious Apparatus For Weigh.
ing Ship Cargoes.

Ar Ingenious Apparatus For Wsiah.
ing Ship cargoss.
An ingenious apparatus has been per-
fected by an Italian engineer, Signor
Emilio de Lorenzi, the function of
which is to indicate automatically the
weight of a ships cargo. This device.
which is called the ''porhydrometer,"
is of simple construction and opera
ton and works with remarkable accu-
racy, the results being within one-thou-
sandth per cent. Moreover, it is easy of
installation, so that vessels already in
service can be equipped Herewith as
readily as those in course of construc-
ton.
The operation of the instrument is
based upon the principle that a body
floating in a liquid. no matter what its
density may be, displaces a quantity
Of that liquid exactly equal to its
own weight. The apparatus comprises
merely a float, or barometer" placed
in a chamber filed with water, which
Is In communication with the outside
Of the ship. Consequently as the ves-
sci sinks deeper into the water while
being loaded, or vice versa, when the
freight is being discharged, the level Of
the water in the float chamber must
rise or fall in coincidence with the
level Of the surrounding liquid out
side. The float itself being fixed, 1t
becomes more or less deeply immersed
In the water in the chamber with q
consequent alteration Of its apparent
weight.
The aerometer is connected and bal
anced by levers, so that by the adjust
ment Of the balancing weights the vol.
ume of water displaced by the aerom-
eter at any particular draft Is ac-
curately gagged, the alteration in ap-
parent weight being read on the weigh.

The Tilt of tho Hat,

"1s my hat on straight| is no longer

nine-for now the tilt is the thing.
The hats are worn far down on the
head; they droop at the right, and the
proper tilt over that eye is the delicate
question.
There is danger Of a ridiculous ex.
IRENE in this tilt, and there is the pos
sibility of a most fetching piquancy.
A hat must be placed upon the head
before the mirror and experimental
with until the correct adjustment be-
comes second nature; then n can
wear the tilted brim with the saving
grace Of knowing that the best has
been made Of the new line.

Stiff Sailor Hats Are Worn,

There is a wide popularity for sailor
hats. Now, nothing could really be
more simple than these. If any man
in the family jeers at the absurd and
silly headgear that every woman has
brought home since Easter all one has
to do is to bring a sailor hat into view.
These are the sailor hats Of other
days. The only thing that can be
called new about them is the size of
the crown Instead of showing the
hair they hide it. This is in keeping
with other hats; otherwise the popu-
lar hat for everyday veal is the SIM
pie sailor Of simpler days than these.
The sailor Of 1910 has a moderate
brim. 1t is by no means a MERRY
Widow" size. The crown, which is
large enough to let the hat come down
over the head, is low and fat. The
straw that is used to make it is rough
and scalloped.
The pattern is large or small, and
the whole affair is quite stiff in its
lines. 1t will not bend even If it
breaks. The chrysanthemum straw is
tried in some Of the sailors in a mod
crate way, but it is a bit too large
even then for the taste of the average
person.
The fashionable color is a faint yell
low, what one usually calls straw
color. It has a close running mate in
black, and after these two favorites
come several tones of blue, Of burnt
straw and Of dull green. OF these
three the best is blue, and in the blue
the best is of bright, dark tone that
will go with almost any gown.

and therefrom the weight Of any cargo
taken On board or discharged is easily
determined.
Numerous tests with the apparatus
have been carried out in England, and
the accuracy Of the weight readings,
irrespective of the size Of the vessel,
has been remarkably conclusive. 1t
a be applied to any type Of craft
with equal facility and infallibility-to
a small lighter as easily as to a trans
atlantic liner. At the present moment
arrangements are being made for its
installation upon a 10000 ton vessel.
In this case the diameter of the float
will be about nine inches. For a small
lighter it averages about three and
one-quarter inches diameter at the
top by about two and seven-eighths
inches at the lower extremity. So SEN
sitive is the apparatus that it will i'll
dictate the weight Of a person stepping
on board.
Thus it will be seen that the captain
of a vessel always possesses a mean
of determining exactly the weight he
has on board. For those vessels en-
gagged in long journeys, necessitating
bunkering at intermediate ports, it is
of %farreaching Importance, since it ell
ables the captain to ascertain precisely
how much fuel he has shipped. This
is a valuable point, inasmuch as at
many foreign ports short weighing is
by no means an uncommon practice,
and vessels are often mulcted for a
considerable sum per annum in pay
ment for misrepresented quantities of
coal.

Smartness In Linsn Suita.

A trio Of smart linen suits recently
exhibited deserve special mention. One
was Of chalk white linen Of a heavy
make and bordered with a cotton
galloon in a conventional design OF
shamrocks in black on a tilleul ground.
The second suit, also in white, had the
little short coat effectively lined with
printed linen in an imitation Of old
Persian embroidery, a blending Of dull
pale blues, mauves and browns. The
third suit vas Of tomato red Of the

THE NATIONS DAY.

In every patriotic heart
1t lives-the famous date
When Freedom took a desperate chance
And played a game with Fate.
Upon this one immortal day
The balances went down,
And a starry flag upon the scales
Outweighed King Georges rown.
From countless graves on land and sea
This day our heroes come
AS regiments of men fall in
At sound Of fife and drum.
Once more the dews upon the rose
Are turned to drops of blood,
And battle smoke and parting souls
Seem thick in field and wood.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. July 2s.-Those
who heard Theodore Roosevelt at Sag
amore Hill yesterday afternoon came
awaS with a sharply etched shadow
picture of what his attitude will be
in the state and national politics. Pri-
marily, he wishes to keep in the back
ground in the approaching campaign
for he feels that, taking too prominent
a part in It. he may be accused OF as
suming dictatory position.
These views Col. Roosevelt has ex-
planned to those who have como to see
him recently. He tells his visitors tina,
he is anxious to take hand as a pri-
vate citizen, but he Is willing to go nc
further.
VIII Help Those Who Helped Him
Broadly speaking, he will. as he said
on several occasions. do all in his pow

and his policies formulated during his
years in the White House, but he Is
non-committal as to whether he ex-

things which he believes stand for the
best interests Of the country as
whole. But he has not made up his
mind when he will take any decided
