NEW SEA FIGHTER.

Leroy TObey, naval expert of
Penn YRn, y Y, has evolved a
new and unique plan for defeat
ing an army in a naval battle.
He has written a long letter 20
the Navy Department, in which
he offers his scheme to the gov
ernment.
He proposes that battle ships
be equipped with a large supply
of fence posts and barbed-wire.
When the enemy's vessels come
within range, the wire and posts
should be paid out in such a
way as te encircle the enemy's
vessel. The wire will become en-
tangled in the propeller of the
opposing battle ships, and, of
course. prevent them from fight
ing.
After they are disabled, it will
be easy. Hunger and thirst fol-
low.

PORK PRICES SOAR.

Live Hogs Cost More I'm Chicago
Than at Amy Time since 1882.
Chicago, Feb. 14-Pork on the hoof
reached the highest price since 1889 to-
day. when hogs sold for 1920 hundred
pounds. an. advance Of 10 cents above the
prices of a week ago. The packers made
determined effort TO hold prices down.
but receipts of 1000 proved inadequate
to supply the demand, and when buyers
for shipment began the bidding at 3 cents
above quotations the price jumped rap
idly.
Present prices are 10 cents under the
prices of 1882. but they are more than
$3.50 hundredweight higher than prices
a year ago. Packers and men who
studied the market to-day said that there
will be a likelihood of prices receding. as
there is no indication of heavy shipments.

Love, which Is blind. according TO all

Young Women Scared.
The young woman. whose influence was
similar 70 that of the moon, and another
young woman who probably has like
influence were given the fright Of their
lives, the first damsel receiving a cut on
the cheek as an undesirable souvenir OF
the occasion.
AS TO the identity of the party, which
consisted Of two and two. in equal parts,
there seems to be some mystery. as every
one who tried To delve into personalities
was either rebuffed or turned away with
diplomacy.
Whoever may have been the occupants,
they were Joy riding and having good
time. until they left the Speedway shortly
after 10 O'Clock. The machine was guided
toward Pennsylvania avenue, its driver
taking route along the roadway south

1t was disabled and remained quiet. One
young woman was crying. while the
other was still with fright. The one who
was still held her hand to her face.
She was accompanied TO Emergency
Hospital Nothing but a little cut from

lady smiled. Her name, she said, was
Katie Jones. To a reporter she had said

The other girl declared her name 10 be

blushed with confusion.

He gave statistics proving that hogs
were the only animals that paid the
farmer under the present conditions. The
only reason that they paid was that they
were subject to cholera, a disease that
wipes out the profits of years, once it
gets into a herd. This great risk keeps
many farmers from raising hogs. and in
this way keeps the supply down and the
price up.

The search of the naval vessels and
vessels of the Revenue Cutter Service
brought no results, and each message
flashed to the Nevy Department was q
repetition OF the thus far fruitless search.
Just before the Navy Department closed
