TINY GUNBOATS
MAKE CRUISE
ROUND WORLD
When Ideals Are Shattered.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-Two
of the smallest vessels of the United
States navy, the gunboats Petrol and
Wheeling, are expected at Gibraltar
soon and in few days will be on the
home stretch of round the world
trip-a remarkable feat for craft of
their size.
After taking aboard coal at this
port, the two little ships will head for
Funchal, in the Madeira islands. Then,
following the route taken by Columbus
in the first voyage across the Allan
tic they will steam for Bermuda and
from there will make their way along
the coast to the Portsmouth, n. H.,
navy yard.
In the latter part of May the two
ships were in the Pacific Coast, when
orders were issued from the navy &C.
partment for both to proceed on a long
tour ending at Portsmouth, N. H. Ac-
cordingly preparations were rushed,
and within few days all was in read

On June 10 they left the Golden

BALLOU WINS
IN FINE GAME

The finaI game in the chess tourney
between Judge Sidney Ballou and J. w.
White was played at the Y. NJ. c. A.
last night and proved to be an excel
lent exposition of the game. Judge
Ballou played a daring game, selling
an opportunity to check his opponent
with his fifth move. He continued
the attack and in the next 26 moves
he called check no less than sixteen
times To do this Ballou had to sa-
criice piece after piece, losing both
bishops, both knights and a rock, but
he had Whites king pinned on the
king side and on the 32nd move White
was checkmated.
This game finished the tourney as
Ballou has now won four straight
games. In view of the development of
last nights play it is interesting to
chess players to study the moves as
shown under:

She should bring back, if possible
greater appreciation of nature,

in the mountains, by the sea, or trav.
cling. If she does this, she is laying
up for herself a means of future en-
joyment. OR nature she has always
about her, in one form or another,
and to learn to see the sunset, or to
enjoy walk down some country road
bordered with wild flowers, puts
within her possession for all time an
avenue to pleasure.
She should bring back from her
vacation a keener ambition for her
work, c desire to &c more and to be
more in the year ahead than in the
year that has gone. Her vacation
should give her a keen relish for
work and if she is doing her right
work, and has had the right sort of
vacation, it will.
But the greatest treasure of all she
should bring back from her vacation
is a broadened outlook. The people
she has met, the places she has seen,
all should have opened her mind,
widened her interests, so that life is
fuller, and means more, than it did
before she went away.
All of these treasures can be gath
cred on ones vacation, whether it is
a week long or a month long, if a
girl will plan it Alright. And they will
brighten all the year that follows.
So that vacation, after ALL is not a
matter of one week or two, but of
fifty-two, if girl will gather these
treasures to pack in her home-re-
turning trunk.

Vacation with its alluring visions
of rest or frolic has come to many q
weary worker. Trunks are packed
work and care are left behind. The
week, and weeks, or month ahead
are expected to yield-what? In an
ticipation, what has been packed
into this vacation time which, when
the golden days arrive, will be taken
out as something most precious and
rare? Fun? Rest? Travel? Friend
ship?
Most girls, especially girls who
work haEd the year Through and
have only one short week of vaca-
ton, look forward simply to fun.
They want to have a good time. The
harvest of pleasure of this one week
expresses often their hopes and long
ings of their entire year.
But whether the vacation is one
week, or many, certain things should
it yield. If a girl will so plan that
it shall yield her these things, the
joy of it will go with her through
the year.
good time she should have, what
ever form a good time may take with
her-6ancing, travelling, outdoor life,
whatever it may be. But she should
so apportion this that it should not
fill all her time. 1t should be a part
but not all of her vacation.
She should allow some time for rest
and recuperation, especially if she is
business girl. A long, hard winter
is ahead. She should so plan that she
comes to it refreshed, and with the
health and energy that will carry her
through it successfully. She will
enjoy her work then; it will not be a
drag. This is a vacation treasure
worth gathering.

Our Ridiculous Clothing.
n the Baltimore Evening Sun.

From the Baltimore Evening Sun.
Much of the suffering that Baltimoreans
endure In the hot weather is to be
blamed not so much on the heat itself
as upon their numerous refusal to
abandon heavy, uncomfortable clothing.
The man who wears a starched collar
on a day as hot as yesterday richly de-
serves his discomfort. Stiff collars are
for cool weather. When the mercury Is
at 95 they are as ridiculous as waistcoats
or pulse warmers. The white folks OF
the tropics face higher temperatures than
we ever know, and yet they manage to
be comfortable. The reason is plain:
They dress properly. The orthodox garb
for the men of those parts consists of a
cotton suit of dead white, without
waistcoat The collar of the coat is
cut high, in the military fasion, and in
consequence no stiff. starched collar is
necessary. There would be, indeed, no
anchorage for such a collar If 1t were
worn for it is not customary to wear

The Study of the Hair.

Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
Human hair is now the study of that
untiring criminal statistician NJ. Ber-
tillon, who invented the science of finger
prints. He is engaged in drawing up
complete, classified and graduated table
of all the colors of the human hair. He
has already received specimens from
many parts of the world, but asks for
more. and as many as people like to send
him. a complete palette, 50 to speak,
of the colors of human hair is, in his
opinion a long-felt want. When man
is wanted by the police in any country
the hue of his hair is only vaguely de-
scribed. and the terms used have no
standard meaning. What is called fair
in Sicily is considered as dark in Scandi-
nayia and vice versa
When he has gathered together COM
plete collection of hair from every part
OF the world, NJ. Bertillon will classify
them carefully according to a graduated
scale of shades, and then number each.
Thus, II lie begins at one with the dark
est raven black, the highest figure will be
that OF the lightest fiaxen known. When
the scale Is ready and has been COM
munfcated to the police all over the world
the description of a man who is wanted
will mention, for instance, hair from
numbers q to 3D., and the Scandinavian
will know well as the Sicilian police
what color is meant with fairly close
approximation. Henceforth burglars, who
already wear gloves when on the job, for
fear of leaving finger prints, will have to
keep their heads shaved.

Microbes on Fruit.
From the New Bedford Standard.


More microbes! Soon nobody will dare
taste. touch or smell anything for fear
some part of his anatomy will become in
crusted with them. No wonder our older
relatives are tired of hearing the modern
talk of prophylactic measures against
germs. They ate and used the same sort
of things we do and are none the worse
for the microbes they unwittingly con-
sumed or came in contact with. The dan
ger signal is raised aloft this time by two
French scientists, DR.. Fflassier and NJ.
Sartory, who have recently demonstrated
the extreme liability to disease through
eating fruit which has been carted about
the city on barrOws. Here Is the result
Of their research: Strawberries taken late
one afternoon from a barrow in a mar
row street were found to carry 1850, 600
microbes on each .O6 Of an inch Goose
berries obtained under like conditions re-
vealed the following facts: First wash
ing. S51. 600 microbes; second washing,
Al 900 microbes: third washing, $500 mi
crobes" And to think that we are eat
ing them without CULVER! But no one
ever takes the trouble to wash goose
berries or any other berries three times,
SO we may be eating the maximum
number of germs. For perfect purity
scrubbing brush and a disinfectant
must be necessary.
One hope Of safety still remains. The
scientists did not state whether the mi
crcbes were all injurious. There are such
things as benevolent" microbes as well
as deleterious ones, and perhaps We are
fortunate enough to partake only of the
former species. 1t is quite true, at all
events, that we must consume some mi
crobes even on fruit carefully packed and
exposed but little to the tainted atmos-
phere. But as a correspondent says, sta
tistics are of little significance unless COM
pared" So as long as We do not know
how many microbes are dwelling upon
the we'll protected fruit which We eat
without apparent detriment to health We
cannot judge of the dangers from that
which is more exposed. OF course, there
is more peril from raw fruit than from
that which is peeled and cooked, but
there is also the consideration Of the
greater food value of the raw fruit.
The question is, shall we refuse en-
tirely to eat fruit which has been ex-
posed to the germ-laden air unless 1t is
cooked, or shall we eat and forget that
such things as microbes exist, enjoying
fully the delicious flavor of the berries.
the peach, the plum or whatever 1t may
be? 1t is we'll. OF course. to exercise
certain amount of care as to where we
obtain our fruit and the preparation of
it, but till we learn more surely that the
microbes are all dangerous ones we may
as well eat in peace and trust our healthy
constitutions to Withstand the invasions
of deleterious ones II any happen to be

Rockville; lieutenant commander, John
w. Holland of Dickerson; adjutant, Ed
mund l.. Amiss of Middlebrooke; chap
lain. Richard P. Hays of Dickerson;
treasurer, Elgar l.. Tschiffely of Rock
vile.
The important matter considered by the
veterans was the erection of a monument
to the Confederate dead of Montgomery
county. The movement was started two
years ago, but little progress has been
made. 1t was decided today to push the
plans for the erection of a suitable monu-
ment at Rockville. and the commander
appointed the following committee to
solicit contributions and make other ar
engagements: Richard p. Hays, John w
Holland. Francis S. Kilgour. Benjamin
d. Candy and Elgar l.. Tschiffely The
committee was authorized to appoint a
subcommittee of young women and others
In each district of the county to aid in
the work.

Of Capt. James Anderson, Richard p
hays, and John w. Holland, was named
to prepare suitable resolutions The COM
mander was authorized to appoint dele
gates to represent the camp at the an
nual national encampment.
Following the business session Col
Spencer c. Jones, as is his annual Gus
tom. entertained his comrades at dinner
at the Montgomery Hotel, special menu
being provided for the occasion. Follow
ing this feature the grizzled warriors
spent an hour or two relating reminis-
cences. swapping stories and having a
good time generally.
sRidgely Brown Camp was organized in
1892 with forty-five members. The grim
reaper has since been steadily at work
however, until the rolls now contain but
twenty-eight names. Those present to-
day were: Col. Spencer, C. Jones, Edmund

Principle of Air Flight.
From st. Nicholas.

Every boy who has played the thrilling
game of ''tickly benders on particularly
thin ice has applied the principle of the
aeroplane or heavier-than-air machine. AS
long as one fairly flies along the ice will
bear ones weight, although it may sag or
threaten Let the speed sbacken for an
instant, or the skater come to a stand
still, and the experiment will be at an
end for that day at least.
Now, an aeroplane may be kept aloft
on exactly the same principle. Let these
broad planes stand still for moment and
they will begin to f1utter downward or
turn on edge and plunge swiftly to the
ground. BY keeping them moving how
ever. they gain the very slight supporting
power of the air. The greater the speed
the more level is the flight and the less the
chance of falling. An aeroplane flight,
therefore. is glorious game of tickly
benders high up among the birds.
