First Drsadnousht for Japan.
Marine Journal: The battleship
Aki was the first dreadnought to be
completed for the japanese navy. She
was laid down at Kure, Japan, in
March 1905, and finished In December
1909. Her general dimensions are:
Length 499 feet, breadth "a feet, and
displacement 1880 tons.
In description Of this vessel which,
appeared In the Scientific American
for April 8, her main battery is given
as consisting Of four 12-inch guns and
twelve 10-inch, all Of which are mount
ed on the upper deck, which has an
average freeboard of 10 feet, making
the axes Of the guns from % to 25
feet above the normal waterline. On
the gun deck are twelve 6-inch, wide
ly distributed, eight of these being
protected by the 6-inch armor of the
central battery. The torpedo arma-
ment is heavy and consists of five sub
merged torpedo discharge tubes. 1t is
pointed out that this ship has a great
defect, in that when she is fighting a
broadsfde engagement, six Of her To-
inch guns being on the lee side, will
be masked by the smokestacks and the
turrets on the opposite beam and will
therefore be idle.
The propelling machinery Of this
vessel consists of Curtis turbines,
which were built by the Fore River
Shipbuilding Company of Quincy,
Mass, and give her a speed of 20.2
knots. Her performance in q series of
recent progressive official trials was
so satisfactory in regard to speed and
consumption of steam per horse-pow-
er, that the Japanese minister of ma
rine sent a congratulatory telegram to
her commander, an unusual proceed
ing but very gratifying to her officers

There is an Indian legend in regard
to the origin Of fish nets which states
that Michabo, the great wonder
worker Of the Algonquin tribe, from
attentively watching the spider
spread its web to trap unwary flies
derived the art Of knitting nets t.
catch unwary fish. To this mythologic-
al character is also ascr1bed the origin
OF the hazy atmosphere which pre-
walls during our Indian summer days
For in the autumn, before he compos-
ed himself to sleep for the winter
Michabo filed his great pipe and took
god-nke smoke, and this in balrny
clouds hoated over the hills and wood
lands.

the Sixth.

"Just for fun ask that gray-headed
old boy what time it u.s." said the jew
eler. The question was put, but 1t took
several seconds to get an answer, be-
cause the old boy had to open so many
different cases before he came to the
face Of his watch.
Ever see anything to beat that?"
baid the jeweler. There are five cases
10 that watch, and the old chap has
Just given me an order for new one.
The watch will soon be scoffed out
with cases that he will need an extra
big pocket to carry 1t in. The inscrip-
tons on each case are the most inter.
esting thing about the watch. The old
gentleman has mania for dabbling
In gold mining stocks. For wonder
he is successful about one time in 20,
and just as soon as certain mine be-
gins to pay the dividends he has a
watch case made from the output.
Each case contains the name Of the
mine the gold came from and all the
principal dates Of its development.
Several times have tried to persuade
him to buy different watch for each
case, but he says he has tested the
reliability Of the old works and pre-
fers to have all the cases kept to-
gether."

Weatern Love of Art.

In the east art is commonly inter
preted as meaning painting or sculp-
ture, but in the west it stands for any
manifestation of beauty for which man
Is responsible. The art movement may
begin by the establishment of a mu-
scum or gallery, but it soon escapes
through the door and concerns itself
with general aspects. Last winter
the Civic league of CarmeEby-the-Sea,
California coast town not far from
San Francisco, undertook the erection
of drinking fountain for horses
which was in reality work of art,
simple, appropriate and picturesque;
and last summer it instituted garden
competition, in part, ITO teach the
people color harmony" One of the
winners of the competition was a lad
Of nine years of age who, when given
choice Of prizes, selected picture
in preference to money or plants.
You know" he afterward explained
to his mother, Il can sometime earn
$40, but l never could have got that
beautiful picture" Here certainly
was love of art

Contrast In eeneraIshtp.

Wellington said to Greville that
while "unquestionably Napoleon was
the greatest military genius that ever
existed he had advantages
which no other man ever possessed in
the unlimited means at his command
and his absolute power and irresponsi-
bility." When one turns from Napo-
Icons dispatches to Lees, one is in
stantly struck with the difference in
this regard. Napoleon says: Go here,
do this, let these troops be on this
spot at that date. They are there. It
ts done. Lee suggests cautiously, in
sinuates courteously. But his great
est art is to keep still. 1t is very rare
that he goes SO far as the reported
humorous saying, that he had erik
IN his neck from looking over his
shoulder toward Richmond" Such
military command as is delegated to
him he will exercise absolutely, but
he draws with watchful care the line
between his responsibility and that
OF others, and is at all times reluctant
to overstep it.-Gamaliel Bradford, Jr.,

WHAT TO DO WHEN LONELY
Get Busy, Find an Interest and Dis
cover Something That viii Keep
Your Mind and Hands Occupied.

Get busy If you are lonely. Find an
interest. Do something. The woman
who can shut the door upon undone
household tasks-an uncleaned lunch
con table, say-hasn't correctly dag
nosed her own disease. Her trouble
Is an unoccupied midland hands to
match. Idleness is the parent of lone
Illness, as it is Of various kinds of mis-
chief women get into. In this day and
age there are so many avenues open to
women, so many channels into which
they may direct wholesome activities,
that there is really no excuse for the
social parasite.
1t is generally the uneducated wom-
an who complains of loneliness. Not
that she hasn't been in school, perhaps
graduated, even, but that as in the
case of imperfect vaccination, the edu-
cational virus hasn't worked" She
hasn't got out Of it what 1t was ex-
pected she would get-what she ought
to have received-an impetus toward
the development of her mental re.
sources.
Education is a means, not an end. It
is a door, opening into many pleasant
rooms, these leading into others, 80
that one need never stop entering and
taking possession Of them. With a
good book in the house one should
never feel it necessary to take to the
street or ones neighbors to find refuge
from herself Not that books are to
exclude friends, or take the place OF
human companionship, but there Is
certainly solace in them for those
unoccupied hours in which the sense
OF loneliness visits.

II WAS FUN FOR The CROWD

it done at night, near the Illuminated
front window of q jewelry store in a

woman. II had ring removed under
those conditions last night.
1.-THE publicity hurt worse than fl

attracted by the show was q woman
who fattened her nose against the
window and said: What are they do

Nobody being able to vouchsafe in
formation she stepped inside to find
out Others whose curiosity had
been aroused followed.
"The jeweler was too busy with his
surgical operation to shoe them out
Just then. His assistant planted him
self between me and the crowd and
so prevented a personal assault. but
he could not shut off their remarks.
Besides numerous sympathetic
'Ouches' and 'Ughs' heard compn-
mentary reflections like this: Wasn't
she big fool, anyhow, to try to wear
ring too small for her finger!
Wonder II the ring can be mended?
Don't make much difference II II
can't. 1t looks like cheap one.'

to my misery was big round, DAMN

INsuRING AGAINST DEVILS
Curious Way the Chinese Have Of
Taking Out an Annual Policy
for Protection.

Once every year, during the first Is
days Of the seventh Chinese month,
the curious ceremony of Yu-Nan-Whe1
is celebrated, being in fact the pay
ing of homage to the land and sea
devils.
Seven priests carry out the cere-
mony by Offering up various forms OF
prayer. says the Wide World Maya
zine, and making an unearthly noise
by beating gongs.
Any one wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do so by payment
Of 600 cash-about % cents-to each
Of the priests, for which amount they
will continue their performance for
II hours-a truly modest remunera-
ton.
For an extra payment of 1000 cash
number OF small red paper boats
about six inches long, with lights in
side, will be sent floating down the
river with the current. These lights
are for the benefit of the sea devils in
order that they may be able to see
their way about on dark nights.
Having finished this performance
the person on whose behalf 1t has
been carried out goes away happy IN
the conviction that he will not lose
any Of his family throughout the year
either by sickness or drowning, so
that the whole ceremony may be
looked upon as an insurance policy.
At this time Of year many thousands
of the small lighted boats may b
seen floating down the Yang-tze-ki-
anR.
