SPAlN'S SUMMER CAPITAL.

San Sebastian, the summer capt.
tai Of Spain, is a growing seaport
city and the capital of the Basque
province of Guipuscoa, in which
Carlist sentiment is believed to be
strong. The city is situated on the
peninsula at the base of steep hill,
which is crowned with one Of the
strongest castles in Spain. The
shore along the roadstead is most
beautiful and many thousands of
visitors are attracted to the place
every year The king has a fine pal
ace there, known as Mirawar, and
the court is often transferred TO it
during the hot weather.
San Sebastian has undergone nu-
merous sicges, the most memorable
of which was in 1913, when a
French garrison Of 5000 men held
the city for a time against the duke
of Wellington. The English loss in
the siege was 5000 men, and on its
capture the greater portion of the
place was burned.

WHERE MEN GET SHORTER.

A singular result of the expert
mcnts of DR.. Angelo Mosso on the
physiological effects Of high alti-
tudes is that a mountain ascent may
produce snch a fattcning of the
lumbar curve that man may be an
inch and a half shorter on the sum-
nit of Monte Rosa than when he
is in the valleys beneath. The
height Of Monte Rosa, the second
Iofticst peak Of the Alps, is 1925
feet. The cause OF the shortening is
partly the eXcrtion Of climbing. The
human stature always diminishes
during the day.

FLOATING FORTS AS DEFENSE
Novel Scheme Proposed for Protec-
ton Of Three Of England's
Ports.

A novel scheme for the defense of
Sheerness, Portsmouth and Devon
port, three of England's principal
naval ports, against the attacks of
hostile torpedo craft is at present
under the consideration of the Brit
ish admiralty.
There are at present in the navy
number of old battleships which
arc practically useless for war pur-
poses. It is proposed that some of
these vessels shall be converted into
floating forts.
All the heavy guns and if neces-
sary also the machinery would be
removed. The ship would then be
equipped with large number Of
l.i-inch and 4-inch quick-fring
guns. 1t is estimated that some Of
the vessels could easily mount from
GO to so of these weapons.
1t is pointed out that a ship
armed with so four-inch guns hav-
ing 40 on each broadsidc, would be
able TO keep up a fire from each gun
of ten rounds minute Even if
the attacking craft could not be
seen. it is doubtful if one boat in
twenty could live through such a
rain Of shot long enough TO enable
it to do any damage. AS the float
ing forts would be equipped with
powerful search lights there would
be little chance Of approaching boats
being unobscrvcd.

WHO GOT THE
$3.50 BAIL
MONEY?
Chief Sullivan Seems
to Be Dodging the
Issue.

No explanation has yet
been offered by the police
department as to what be-
came of the $3.50 of forfeited
bonds that disappeared
from the Chinese gambling
case of Dec. % last. The
original bonds posted
amounted to $500, of which
only $3.50 entered the city
treasury.
It is now learned that
other bonds have been
sliced down" in the same
manner after reaching the
hands of the police. The
question is, by whose
authority was this done, and
who got the money.
Chief Sullivan, in an in
terview, explains why Of
ficer Nj. V. Pitts was trans
ferred from the position of
desk man to that of night
patrolman, but does not
show what became of the
$3.50. Sullivan says that
Pitts was dissatisfied, that
he wanted more money,
which the chief says he
could not give, and that for
the greater efficiency of the
department Pitts was re
duced to the rank of a pa
trolman and again made to
walk a beat.
Sullivan also says that
Pitts talked too much, but
there is no record that he
said anything in explanation
of the disposition of the
$3.50 of bond money that
first reached the hands of
Pitts as booking officer.
Since Chief Sullivan has
lodged the issue it is now
up to Officer Pitts to come
forward and give the facts.
