THE LONGEST TRAIN.

The longest train that ever pulled through Tempe came in on the P X F. night before last. It was so long that while the engine was well out on the M. & P bridge the rear of the train stood opposite the Kingsbury residence. The many curves in the road at that point stalled the long train and after trying for half an hour to get under headway the crew cut it in two and got on the straight track again in two sections

The race for the honor of owning
the most formidable battleship in the
world goes to the slowest instead of
the swiftest in the contest. The Uni
ted States improved on the British
Dreadnaughts by center line ar
rangement of the turrets, and this
caused the Britons to reconsider their
plans. The Italian navy department
has now produced a battleship which
combines the twin gun turret, the
triple gun turret and the center line
arrangement, thus providing a broad
side of Is twelveinch guns and fore
and-aft fire with five. This will give
the naval constructors of the world a
fresh problem in the multiplication
and adjustment of turrets for the eff
fective location of guns with respect
to broadside and fore-and-aft delivery
of missiles.

Former Champion Proves Unable to

Colored Man, Now King of

BY w. n. M'lAUGHliN.

Reno, Nev.-Jack Johnson showed
that he is clearly entitled to be called
the greatest heavyweight fighter in the
history of the prize ring when he
knocked James ]. Jeffries out in the
fifteenth round of their encounter in
the arena here. A most remarkable
knockout 1t was. Near the close of

This was right near Jeff's own corner.
The former champion staggered to the
floor of the ring and as he rolled over

Jeff did not lose consciousness He

man on whom the agony of defeat was
written in lines more strongly than

COLLEGE GIRLS AND GAYETY.

There has been marked progress In
the United States and in England
more conspicuously in the higher edu-
cation of women. But severe critl-
cism is uttered by Miss Marion Talbot,
dean of women in the University OF
Chicago, as to existing methods. One
of her propositions is that too many
girls go to college openly and avowed-
ly with the purpose of having good
time They seem to regard the years
that should be devoted TO serious
study and thoughtful training for the
work of their lives merely as an inter
val of enjoyment, prelude to long
term of penal servitude. Doubtless
much of this attitude may be attribu-
ted to an undue presentation of the
gay and social side of college life, says
Washington Post. The girl at home
and in the preparatory school is
taught by friends and sometimes by
instructors to look forward to merri-
ment rather than to serious work in
libraries. laboratories and classrooms.
The campus and the tearoom and the
undergraduate societies are all allure
ments rather than incentives to ambi-
ton. 1t need not sadden the gayety of
youth to learn that life is not wholly
made up of flowers and bonbons.
There is bread to be made as we'll as
cake. Not all husbands are princes as
to income, however optimistic the
view of their character. The girl, no
more than the boy, should be permit
ted to drift through college. There
should be definite aim supplemented
with propulsive power, either through
innate incentive or carefully appropri-
ate discipline. a
