COMMANDER sims IS TO
CONTINUED from page ~

Replying to welcoming speech OF
the Lord Mayor of London, Sims
according to the press dispatches
said that, speaking for himself, he be-
lieved that if the time ever came
when the British empire was menac
ed by an external enemy they might
count on every man, every drop OF
blood, every ship and every dollar OF
their kindred across the sea.
When the matter was called to the
attention of Meyer he cabled for a
a report of the incident. Numerous
protests have been received by the
navy department from a portion of
the other nationalities than the Brit.
ish
In addition the fact is mentioned
that the remarks are likely to give
Offense to men of foreign descent ex-
cept the British in the United States
navy. 1t is noted that Sims was
careful to state that the sentiments
he expressed were only his own per-
sonal views, and in this connection
the point is raised as to how far a
naval officer, in view of his official re-
lation to the government, can go in
publicly declaring his opinions when
they bear an international aspect.

Fully one-half of those who have
been before the court seem to favor
the investigation and openly declare
that it is proper.
Wagon loads of voters arrived at
the court house today from all parts
of the country. Blue with cold, they
hurried before Judge Blair to plead
guilty, hear their sentences passed
and be disfranchised. Because he had
made a mistake in telling the court
Yesterday how much he received for
selling his vote, Sam Howell, a civil
war veteran, "a years old today,

Judge Blair that he had figured up

given SIS. Howell yestbfday was

Frank Salisbury, who lives in Frank

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac.

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
Nautical Almanac.
It may safely be said that no one
outside the publishing office has read
the entire Nautical Almanac from be-
ginning to end, but each figure of the
printed almanac is in the office ex-
amined twice and read three times.
The total number Of figures exceeds
a million; but, great as that number 49,
It IS trifling compared with the num-
Der of figures employed in the calcula-
tons, as the almanac figures repre-
sent "bare" results only. The moon,
for instance, requires for its calcu-
lation more than million and half
of figures, and similarly with other
branches of the work, such as the
sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the
general opinion, practically every ng'
ure in the book Is fresh from year to
year.
The tables from which nearly all the
work is calculated have been original
" constructed from the labors OF the
astronomical observer and to a large
extent from the observations OF the
sun, moon and planets made at the
Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele'
scopes and other astronomical appl1'
ances are conspicuously absent, as the
work of the staff Is purely mathemati
cal and not Observation-Disclosures

But herein do we forget that we are

We put into Jail as an impostor the

BATHING Machines,

Somebody has inquired why ''bath-
ing machines" the comfortable priva-
cy Of which for ocean bathing has
never attracted bathers in this coun-
try. are called machines, remarking
that there is nothing Of machine
about them except the horse which
draws them to the beach. The answer
has been found in the new Oxford
Dictionary. 1t appears that ma
chine" was originally a structure of
any kind, material or immaterial," and
has nothing to do with machinery, a
later word. Ships were called ma
chimes, and it would have been proper
to speak of pulpit as a machine

FRENCH FISH STORY.
Three Days Carnival Of Marpignon's
Intre Did Anulers.


Though their lakes and ponds are
few and their rivers comparatively
destitute of fish. the French people are
extremely fond of angling Indeed,
nervous and excitable as the average
Trenchman may be, he is content to
sit by stream with a pole and wait
all day for bite.
In certain country town not far
from Paris there existed fishing club
named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi
gnon. A pretty stream goes through
Marpignon, but for many years not
one fish had been seen in this stream,
from which circumstance, it followed.
the Intrepid Fishers had little to do,
says Harper's Weekly.
The excitement may be imagined,
therefore. when the word ran through
Marpignon that large barbel-a
tough and gamy fish--had been seen
in the stream. The Intrepid Fishers
turned out and, having ascertained
that there was indeed barbel in the
stream, Immediately stopped the wa
ter some little distance above and be-
low him with gratings so that he
could not get away.
Then they ranged themselves JOY
fully along the stream with hook and
line, and all went to fishing for the
one fish.
BY and by one Intrepid Fisher
caught him and Immediately threw
him back into the water. In the
course of time another caught him and
did the same.
For three days one veracious &C.
count has it the Intrepid Fishers kept
at work catching this one barbel, and
at the end of that time the fish died
of exhaustion and loss of blood. Then
the Intrepid Fishers counted up the
notches that they had made on their
dsh poles, and the man who had
caught the barbel the most times was
declared the champion fisherman OF
Marpignon and received great honors.

Eight years ago fence rider on the
ranch saw what he supposed was

When he came up closer he found that
the animal was a milk white deer and
too fleet for pursuit by an ordinary
cow pony. The chapparel and thick
mesquite growth aided the deer in it's
successful evasion of hunters and trap

running at a range of more than zoo
yards, for the first time it appeared to
be careless. One shot did the work.
Albert Friedrich, whose Buckhorn

other trophies of the hunt. has pursued
the deer every season for the past five
years, and while he has seen it sew.

sent to a taxidermist and mounted af-

animal is buck and has a most un-
usual horn formation, three spikes on
one side and twelve on the other.

Qriqin of Coal.

Coal is Of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
water it undergoes a slow process Of
decomposition. giving off its nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon,
the result of which If carried far
enough is the formation Of a mass of
carbon. Peat, found often in swampy
tracts. is the first stage in the coal
forming process, and the further
stages are formed by the burial of
these vegetable deposits under great
loads Of sediment, where they become
subject to pressure and sometimes to
heat. This effects a series Of changes,
consolidation and loss of oxygen and
gives a series Of products whose ma.
ture depends on the degree to which
the original vegetable matter has been
changed The products are known as
ignite, bituminous coal and anthracite
coal. -~- ----------'-------- - a.

instrument by "hlch the presence OF
Electricity Is Detected.
The electroscope is an instrument for
the detection Of electricity. 1t depends
for its action on the principle that
bodies charged with like electricity re-
pei, while those charged with unlike
electricity attract each other. The ordi-
nary pith ball suspended on silk
thread is the simplest form Of the in
strument.
The most common type Of electro
scope is that devised by Bennett in
1857 and known as the gold leaf cleo
troscope. 1t consists Of two strips OF
gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus-
pended from the lower extremity Of a
conductor within glass bottle or jar.
The upper end Of the conductor ter
inmates in ball or a plate in case the
instrument is to be used as condens-
ing electroscope. If body charged
with positive electricity is brought near
the knob Of the electroscope the mega
tive electricity will be attracted to the
knob and the positive repealed to the
leaves, which diverge. If now the I'm
ger is touched to the knob the positive
electricity is drawn off and the leaves
collapse, while the negative electricity
is held bound. Removing the charged
body, the leaves will diverge again,
charged with negative electricity. In
this case the instrument can be used
to determine the nature of a charge OF
a body brought near it, as with posi-
tive charge the leaves will collapse and
with negative charge spread farther
