1t developed the other day that John

not write his name unless 1t is abso-
futely necessary. leaving the signing to
his secretaries.
This is shown by the practice Mt his

for the month. This Is checked ont as

Fces - Oeatn from Below Now
Awaits All Invaders Who Come From
the Sea.
A short time ago II was announced
by General Murray, chief OF the Unit
ed States coast artillery. In his annual
report TO the secretary of war that
after years of endeavor IL had been
found possible TO plant submarine
mines In the deep waters OF the Race
at the eastern end of Long Island
sound. Until quite recently 1t had not
been possible to plant them In water
more than 125 feet In depth. The
Race approximates 200 feet In depth
The accomplishment of this feat closes
the gap in the line of New York city's
defense most difficult TO shut. The
announcement of this fact also prac-
tically marks the successful close of
series of experiments with mines TO
make them more effective as engines
Of war.
Can Be Blown to Kingdom Come.
Part of Admiral Dewey's fame rests
on his remark, d the torpedoesr' or
words and actions to that effect. when
he entered Manila bay in 1;sDS. What
was bravery In 1898 today would be
counted foohardiness. for conditions
have changed. For years men In the
artillery service OF the United States
army have been experimenting quietly
with submarine mines until 1t is be
lieved that today the United States
leads In this branch of defensive war
60 81.
1t is possible to mine a harbor In such
way that q friend could enter In
safety, while the vessel of an enemy
passing over the same spot in its wake
could be blown to Kingdom come"
a mine has been designed which is
not only in the control Of an operator
on shore, but Is its own annunciator
and a guide for the craftsmanship of
| the artilleryman, as we'll as the op-
orator of the mines. Groups of mines
are connected by electric cables with
switchboards inclosed In classmates on
shore. On these switchboards. or op-
Grating boards. as they are called. are
electric bulbs. one for each mine. and
a bell. When a mine is touched by
q vessel circuit is completed through
the mine and the operating board
The bell rings and the bulb CORE
spending to the mine shines out. in
dicating which mine has been touched
and, Therefore, the exact location OF
the vessel. The location is communi-
Gated instantly to the artillery and
mortar batteries commanding the
channel, which begin fire at the pre-
determined range. The operator at
the board turns n switch. which sends
through the cable a current OF sufti-
Client intensity to explode the min .
Assailed in this fashion from above
and below. 1t seems probable that the
vessel and its crew in an exceedingly
brief space Of time would be swal-
lowed up In watery grave.
To Plant Many Harbors.
Plans have been made for the plant
ing Of many harbors with this terrible
engine Of war, but the chosen loca
ton of these mines In case of war Is
not known, even to those who would
actually place them at the opening OF
! hostilities. They are known only tC
certain officers. and the details are
kept sealed in n safe. to be opened
only upon the beginning of warfare.

Children.

81 Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan: 90.
q There is nothing in all the world
so important as children, nothing SO
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, II you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, do something for children II
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. We can dress the sore,
tbandage the wounded. imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
THAT we can save child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out our races salvation, it will be be-
cause little child has led them.

For Proper Care of tuberculosis.


According to the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis, New York state leads
In the number of beds for consump-
tives provided up to May /, with 5,476
beds; Massachusetts is second, with
2,4O3 beds; Pennsylvania third, with
2347 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1,4S9
beds, and New Mexico fifth, with
1,104 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for its consumptives. New
York has set itself the task Of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1915,
and several cities in other parts OF
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either In their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
Increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May /, 1911.
