HOW NAVY OFFICERS KEEP
HEALTHY--THE --LATEST ORDERS
ISSUED FOR PHYSICAL EXERCISE

for each day, and the walk for each
day az IL miles, not to be completed
in less than four (4) hours.
(b) When the required quarterly
exercises are taken by officers serving
within the tropics the distance walked
and times required will be two-thirds
(2-3) those as above stated.
Z. Before taking the first quarterly
exercise in each year, each officer will
be examined by a board of medical
officers to determine whether the ex-
ercise may be taken without danger
to the officer. This examination shall
be restricted to determination of the
ed exercise. Immediately after the
completion of this exercise, or within
three hours thereafter, if practicable,
the same board of officers will re-
examine the officer. A report of these
examinations will be made upon the
prescribed form.
8. Officers are allowed to take the
second, third and fourth quarterly eX-
ercises at their convenience, but
they should be taken during the mid
die month of each quarter, when
practicable, and a report made there
of through official channels by the
officer himself. No physical eXamina'
ton is required for the second, third
and fourth quarterly exercises.
8. In every case in which an Off
Ger is found by the medical examin'
ing board to be unfit to take the ex
ercise or fails to complete the eXer
else for physical reasons, he shall
be ordered before a retiring board in
case the physical disability developed
is of a permanent nature. If the re-
firing board finds such officer fitted
to perform his regular duties, 1t shall
recommend whether he shall be per
manently excused from taking the
physical exercise or whether he shall
be excused only for the current quar-
ter. Should the officer be disquali'
fed to perform his duties, the retir-
ing board will proceed as is custom
airy in such cases.
10. In the case of disability of
temporary character in which there
is expectation of recovery within
reasonable time, the officer may be
excused from taking the exercise
during such period as the Department
deems advisable, but will be required
to take the necessary steps to pro
mote the removal of his disability

BOAD WORK BY CONTRACT
COSTS MORE THAN BY
DAY LABOR ON kauai

The report of the supervisors of
the County of Kauai was laid before
the legislature today. 1t shows that
the country's share of receipts from
all sources have increased from $780,
65O21 in 1908 to S16O,S99.S6 in 1910,
an increase of $9O,249.65, or 23.15 per
cent.
What may surprise many is the
showing of economy in road work by
day labor as compared with contract
construction. AN average saving OIL
$1553.74 a mile, or 31.3 per cent, was
made on roads built by the county by
day work over those built by contract,
In Waimea district the cost per mile
was $4965.55 by contract against
S3O2157 by day labor, in Koloa dis
trict S4965.55 against S429972 and in
Lihue $4965.55 against $936765, and
the average cost in all districts $4965..
So against $3411.S1 for contract and
day labor respectively.
In the six years of county govern
ment total of $501, 472.01 was spent
on Kauai roads. The cost of macadam
roads built by contract was S37,241.60
and by day labor $79,9245O, in adul
ton to which $S323.96 was expended
for quarry work.

CARDINAL GIBBONS REPLY
TO EOISON'S DENIAL Of
IMMORTALITY OF SOUL

Cardinal Gibbons lately replied to
the reflections of Mr.. Edison on the
soul, on God and immortality and said,
following a query put by an inter.
viewer, as follows:
Your Eminence, now would you
prove that the soul endures after
death?"
Practically? For the vast major
ity of people? BY revealed religion

Jesus Christ; let him try to form a

Edison among them-pick out one or
two doctrines and refuse to listen to
the rest; let him not imagine that he
knows so thoroughly the laws of the
universe and the power of God as
to be in a position to scout the idea
of miracles. Then he will see that
Christs life, His works, His doctrines,
His Personality, are divine. Nothing
short of that explains Him. All other
explanations are as changing, as pass

Each decade swarms with them, one
devouring another and all in turn de-

they do not wish to have their mind
controlled by the teaching or Christ.
Now, Christ brings to humanity the
certainty of eternal life. He proved
it by His own resurrection; and IA
any one thinks the evidence for
Christ's resurrection is weak, l ask
him to study and think deeply over
the fifteenth chapter of First Corin-
thians. No sane scholar, remember,
denies that we have here the testi-
mony of st. Paul himself; nor that
st. Paul is honestly setting down the

First Century Find.

President Solomon Schetchter of the
Jewish theological seminary Of Amer
lea has discovered a Hebrew manu-
script in Cairo, Egypt, where 1t is said
to have been cherished with great
care for 1000 years by the Jewish
congregation.
It is claimed that the document was
written in the first century OF the
Christian era.
It has been translated by Prof.
schetchter and published by the uni
versity press in England. 1t purports
10 be an address by religious leader
IN his followers. The references are
held by George Margoliouth, custo-
dian of Hebrew manuscripts in the
British museum, to apply to John the
Baptist. and Jesus and Paul John Is
called a Messiah who led the people
TO mediate on their sins, Jesus a
preacher Of righteousness, and Paul a
scoffer-presumably because OF his
dissent from Judaism.
The writer and his followers appear
To have belonged to a sect, half Jew
ish and half Christian, which fed to
Damascus after the destruction OF Je-
rusalem.

ed and secluded, and for a period was
the scene of more suicides by drown
ing than any other place in town.
The pond was filled up in 1910.
Throughout succeeding reigns st.
James Park, which became more
beautiful year by year as the trees in
the Mall grew and fiourished, re-
manned a fashionable lounge and
promenade There beauty, wit and
fashion paraded in the days OF the
early Georges. When st. James pal
ace ceased, in the reign of George
III. to be the residence Of the mon
arch, the park began to lose prestige
as a place Of fashion. George ~
made some improvements to the park
and finally threw it open as public
resort. The roads through 1t were
first lighted with gas in 1922. This
period marks the end of the exclusive
tenure by the crown of a demesne
which had been a private royal pleas
foreground since the time Of Henry
VIII.
The last vestige of its early rural
associations disappeared with the
milksellers and their cows when they
were removed from their historic
standing opposite Spring gardens to
make way for the widening of the
Mall some ten years ago. Gone, too
are the rows of fine old trees, under
whose shade many generations OF
Londoners have watched historic
royal professions and the company
passing to drawing rooms and levees-
A spacious avenue has now been
made and new trees are growing
apace, but there are some who regret
the loss of the restful charm Of the
dear old Mall of St. James.

length, with an exclamation, he paused
at the first opening in the living bar

blue-stone carriage drive wound away
to the house, invisible in the waning
light, situate in the shelter of the
grove of trees that studded the lawn.
Gasoline! Brrr!" said Maitland,
shuddering and shivering with the
combination of a nauseous odor and
the nights coolness-the latter by now
making itself as unpleasantly promi-
nent as the former.
Though he hated the smell with all
his heart, manfully inconsistent he
raised his head, shifting the air for
further evidence; and got his reward
in a sickening gust.
"Tank leaked" he commented with
brevity. Quart of the stuff must have
trickled out right here. Ughl If it
goes on at this rate, there'll be another

And, Serve her right, tool" he
growled, vindictive.
But for all his indignation he &C
knowledged a sneaking wish that he
might be at hand again, in such event,
a second time to give gratuitous serv-
ice to his gray lady.

sickness Insurance.

Lloyd George, British chancellor or
the exchequer, has published the pro-
visional draft Of a scheme which he
hopes will be passed by parliament,
the fundamental provision of which Is
compulsory insurance against serious
sickness and incapacity for work for
the whole laboring population Of the
United Kingdom, whose wages are be-
low the sum Of about $500.
The age limits are 16 and 10 years,
the latter being the age at which old
age pensions begin.
The minimum allowance will be
S1.20 a week.
The cost will be divided, the insured
paying one-half and the employer and
the state one-fourth each.
It is proposed to establish a central
administrative council, made up OF
representatives of the government, the
friendly societies and employers Of
labor, to decide all controversies aris-
ing In the working out Of the plan.

deed justified; at that very moment
the safe was being attacked.
Maitland returned noiselessly to the
door. His mouth had settled into a
hard, unyielding, thin line; and a dan
gerous light fiickered in his eyes.
Temporarily the idler had stepped
aside, giving place to the real man
that was Maitland-the man ready to
fight for his own, naked hands against
firearms, if 1t need be. True, he had
but to step into the gunroom to find
weapons in plenty; but these must be
then loaded to be of service, and
precious moments wasted in the pro-
cess-moments in which the burglar
might gain access to and make off
with his booty.
Maitland had no notion whatever of
permitting anything of the sort to
occur. He counted upon taking his
enemy unawares, difficult as he be-
lieved such a feat would be, in the
case Of a professional craftsman.
Down the hallway he CROPPED his way
to the library door. his fingers at
length encountering its panels; it was
| clOSeu, uOuDJleSS secured upon the IN
side; the slightest movement Of the
handle was calculated to alarm the
housebreaker. Maitland paused, delib-

Meeting library and smoking room. In
the library itself a heavy tapestry cur
tanned its opening, while an equally
heavy portiere took the place Of a door
at the other end. In the natural order
OF things a burglar would overlook
this.

These opened from ceiling to floor
and should by right have presented to
his vision a blank expanse of dark
glass. But, oddly enough. even while
thinking of his lawyers warning, he
had fancied. "Ahi" said
Maitland, softly.
A disk Of white light, perhaps a foot
or IS inches in diameter, had fitted
swiftly across the glass and vanished
"Ah, ahl The devil, the devil"
murmured the young man, uncon-
sciously.
The light appeared again, dancing
athwart the inner wall of the room,
and was lost as abruptly as before. On
impulse Maitland buttoned his top
coat across his chest, turning up the
collar to hide his linen, darted stealthily
a yard or two to one side, and with
one noiseless bound reached the floor
of the veranda. A breath later be

first glance, he discovered the means
of entrance used by the midnight ma
rauder; the doors stood ajar, black

So that, then, was the way eau

knob and pushed.
A sharp, penetrating squeak brought
him to an abrupt standstill, heart ham.

himself to spring, if need be, he crept
back toward the library windows, and

The sagacious one was not, appar

contrary, having made all things ready
for a hurried fight upon the first
alarm, the intruder turned back, as
was clearly indicated by the motion Of
the light within. The clink of stee
touching steel became audible; anc

him who weakly entertained it, he
crossed the drive and struck in over
the lawn. shaping his course direct for
the front entrance of the house.
BY dead reckoning the hour was
two, or something later; and a chill
was stealing in upon the land, waited
gently southwark from Long Island
sound. All the world beside himself
seemed to slumber, breathless, in
sensate. Wraith-like, gray shreds Of
mist drifted between the serried boles
of trees, or, rising, yelled the moons
wan and pallid face, that now was low
upon the horizon. In silent rivalry
long and velvet-black shadows skulked
across the ample breadths of dew
drenched grass. Somewhere a bird
stirred on its unseen perch, chirping
sleepily; and in the rapt silence the
inconsiderable interruption broke with
startling stress.
In time-not long-the house lifted
into view; a squat, rambling block of
homegrown architecture with little to
recommend it save its keen associa-
tons and its comfort. At the edge of
the woods the lord and master paused
indefinitely, with little purpose, sur
veying idly the pale, columned facade,
anO wondering whether or not his en-
trance at that ungodly hour would
rouse the stan of house servants. If
it did not-he contemplated with mild
amusement the prospect of their sur
prise when, morning come, they should
find the owner in occupation.

The syllables died upon his lips; his
gaze became fixed; his heart thumped
wildly for an instant, then rested still;
and instinctively he held his breath
