The Tragic Fate of Admiral syno.

Admiral John Byng, OF the British
navy, bungled a battle and was shot
for it. In 1856 he was sent with his
squadron to protect a British station on
the island Of Minorca. in the Mediter-
ranean. He came to an engagement
with the French fleet, but managed his
vessels very poorly, and the French
were victorious. When news of the de-
feat reached England there was q great
cutlery The admiral was brought home
and tried by court martial. The court
found him guilty Of not having done his
utmost to win the battle, but acquitted
him of cowardice and disaffection and
recommended him to mercy on that ac-
count. But there was stringent law
at that time which prescribed death for
negligence on the part OF an admiral
and the king decided not to interfere
with the verdict. Byng. however, was
not without friends. and defenders.
Many people believed the government
itself was at fault In not furnishing
him with an adequate equipment Of
men and ships. and made him a scape-
goat for Its own short comings. His
trial and execution made deep i'm
preston on the public mind, and doubt
less led to a modification of the law
The admiral met his death bravely, but
1t was needless cruelty to shoot him
on a ship he had formerly commanded,

Whom the Coal Supply Gives Out.

Professor Hallock. OF Columbia uni
verisity, has expressed the belief that
the day is not far distant when the
enormous internal heat of the earth
will be tapped and put to practical
uses. In considering the possibilities
Of doing this the Scientific American
says that two holes might be bored into
the earth 10000 feet deep and perhaps
SO feet apart. There would be tenn
perature far above the boiling point OF
water. Then, II very heavy charges Of
dynamite or other explosives were low
cred to the bottom Of each hole and ex-
plodeA simultaneously, a sufficient con-
nectien might De established between
the two holes. The rock would be
cracked and fissured in all directions,
and SCATTERING it thus around the base
az the holes would turn the surround
ing area into an immense water heater
The water poured into one hole would
he heated and turned into steam, which
would pass through the second hole to
tho earth's surface. The pressure of
such a column OF steam would be enor-
nous, for, aside from it's initial veloc-
ity, the descending column OF cold wa
ter would exert pressure OF at least
5000 pounds to the square inch, which
would drive everything movable
through the second hole. The problem
Is, therefore, a mechanical one, COR
cerned chiefly with connecting the two
holes. This accomplished the water
heater would operate itself, and estab-
dsh , source Of power that would
sarpass anything now in use.

Young Wiveo and Husbands.

Margaret E. Sangster says. in the
course of an interesting article in. the
Woman's Home Companion:
1.-TWO households may stand side by
side on the same street. two families
1.-Two within hailing distance OK one an
other for years in the same communi-
ty, and yet have opposite tastes, senti-
ments and convictions. The children Of
each growing up together may marry
and. until they reach the period Of new
adjustment, never suspect how antag-
onistic. has been their early training.
This Is one reason why the first year
OF marriage is so beset with briers and
thorns. Everybody knows that until
people actually dwell under the same
roof they do not mutually become ac-
quainted. A single week spent with a
friend at house party does more to
promote intimacy or Indifference than
years OF superficial social intercourse.
The touch-and-go meetings incidental
to teas and receptions are the merest
suggestions of personality, but when
one sits day after day beside the fire
or at the table with a neighbor, each
ceasing to be on guard, real under
standing begins. Even correspondence
which, to degree is in the nature Of
revelation. does not make people so
we'll acquainted and is by no means
81 pue eSot VI disposition anu tem-
permanent as the test is OF living to-
gether. During courtship and betrothal
an engaged pair are on probation.
Without effort each displays qualities
OF charm that cannot fail to be at
tractive. The most ordinary speech has
a flavor of compliment. The future
husband and wife are walking through
land OF dreams. Shall the dreams
come true? They surely will If on
both sides there are fixed principles Of
honor. justice and fidelity"

Mrs. Leona Wells Is Chief
Clerk to Senate Committee
on Appropriations.

From the Philadelphia North American
Leona M. Wells. Of Wyoming and
Washington, a thoroughly American prod.
uct. born in Illinois and raised in Iowa. Is
probably the most envied woman in gov
ernment service today because, forsooth
she is the most highly paid. And she is
an entirely legitimate object OF envy, not
necessarily because she Is the highest
priced woman on Uncle Sans payroll. but
because she has found her work and can
do 1t. Nay, more, she likes doing It; as
she herself says, she 'adores' 1t.
She Is listed as assistant chief clerk OF
the United States Senate committee on
appropriations and her salary is variously
quoted as anywhere from $500 to $500
She says it is neither the one nor the 9TH
er, but somewhere In between" but,
please, don't like being marked I'm plain
figures like the goods in the department
stores"
AS matter OF fact. with all respect to
Mrs. Wells prejudice against tagging, the
higher figure Is not so far off, and her
salary exceeds tina. of the confidential
secretary to the director of the mint, who
has heretofore been reported as the gov
ernment's most highly paid woman.

Chewing Gum.

From tarperS weekly.
At Yucatan the gathering Of the
chicle chewing gum is an industry that
employees the services OF considerable
bands of natives known as "chicleros."
They go into the deep forests. under
experienced leaders, armed With heavy
knives Of special make. and pals and
ladies' for the sap, and each one is
provided with a strong rope, more than
30 feet long, to be used in climbing the
lofty sapota trees from which the gum
Is procured.
The sap flows from gashes cut in the
bark. A camp of chicleros, where the
sap is boiled. resembles in some re-
spects an American maple sugar camp.
After months Of work the chicleros
return from the forests laden with
bricklike blocks OF aromatic gum. The
finest gum is collected from the fruit
Of the sapota, mostly by the native
women. and II Is said that II Is seldom
exported. because 1t IL too well liked
