PRINCIPLE IN
THE BRITISH WARSHIP

London.-The British Dreadnought
battleship Colossus has been launched
at Greenock, nine months after her
keel was laid. She is the largest bat
tleship yet launched in this country
and Is unique In her appearance.
She has two sister ships-the Her.
cules building on the Tyne. which is
to be launched soon, and the Orion.
which will be launched at Portsmouth
in July or August. The fourth ship
Is the armored cruiser Lion. which
will also be launched in August at
Davenport.
She is the first British Dreadnought
to be built upon the American prin-
ciple. In the others the five turrets,
with two guns in each. are placed in
the form of a cross, the one being at
each extremity, and one between the
intersection of the arms at the foot.
1t is, therefore, only possible to fire
four of the turrets-eight guns-on
either broadside.
The American ships, on the other
hand, all have their big gun turrets
mounted on the center line of the
ship, and by placing two turrets-one
forward and one aft-at higher level
than the others, a fore and aft fire Of
four guns is secured, while the full
armament can be brought to bear on
either broadside. That is the system
adopted by the British Admiralty in
the case of The Colossus and her sis

SOLUTION FOUND
FOR HAT PROBLEM

Paris.-From the fashionable resort
of Aex-ies-Bains seems to have come
a final solution of the perplexed the
atre hat question. 1t is very simple.
The ladies are separated into two
classes-those who wear hats and
those who do not. Hatless ladies go
to the right; hat-wearing ladies to
the left. There the latter enjoy trying
to see the stage over the mountainous
peaks of flowers and feathers of birds
OF their own kind. This really seems
to be a brilliant idea and 1t is whis-
pered that no less a parsonage than
Plerpont Morgan who frequents AK
is responsible for It.

Our quarries have never produced,
but we expect to begin active opera
tons within the next rev months The

known as surface marble, is unfit for

Human Tree DwelIers.

In the interior of Malaga live about
5000 people. the remnant of an old tree
dwelling race called the Sakai. They
dwell in little matched huts built In
trees at the height of from eight to
twenty feet And no wonder. consid-
ering how they have been almost ex-
terminted by the Malays. The Sakais
are the aborigines of the peninsula.
They are rather small and Of fairly
light complexion, with ugly faces. but
well shaped and active bodies. They
are not yet provided with modern
weapons, but at distance of sixty feet
can shoot darts from their blowguns
with almost unerring accuracy, thus
getting plenty of small game. In their
trees the people are almost invisible
to hunters and explorers who thread
their wilderness. Some few of the
Sakais have left their forest homes to
live in huts on the ground level on the
outskirts Of the Malay towns. But un-
der British rule the remnant Of the
tribe seems fairly likely to survive and
to keep its arboreal habits for years to
come.
