German Frober faS Declarations OF
Love Codified.
Nothing is sacred to the German
statistician. Presumably basing his
calculations upon information culled
from fiction, he calculates that in the
case of proposals Of marriage Sc per
cent Of the suitors press the hand of
their beloved, "a per cent conclude
their speech with an embrace, per
cent kiss the hair, 2 per cent kiss the
hand, 2 per cent fall on their knees
and 20 per cent swallow nervously be-
fore they declare their passion.
Ten per cent open and close their
mouths without being able to utter a
single word, and 2 per cent make their
proposals while standing on one foot.
With regard to the women, on the
other hand, 60 per cent sink helpless
into the lovers arms for whose pro-
posal they have been waiting, 20 per
cent blush and hide their faces, 1 per
cent swoon away, 4 per cent are genu-
inely amazed, II per cent gaze silently
into the suitor's eyes and 1 per cent
run away to tell girl friend.

L0CKSLEY HALL HERMIT
WAS TIGHT ROPE WALKER.
Eccentric English Millionaire Had
Been Friend of BIondin.

England has just lost by death a
most eccentric character, George Ed
ward Dering, eighty-one years old, a
fellow of the Royal society, whose
diversion was to walk a tight rope
over lake in his grounds.
Dering was the owner Of Locksley
Hall and it's 1000 acres at the village
Of Welwyn, in Hertfordshire, and for
twenty years, since the death Of his
wife, had not been outside his park
gates. Within the park he drove in
old King George coaches swung on
leather. He never saw an automobile
refused to look at one because he
hated noise.
Though he had millions in cash and
large estates in Galway, Ireland, he
rarely spent any money, permitted
poachers on his land to supply his
table and would often have them sup
with him. Yet to make his home
quieter he spent 100000 in shifting
a public road.
He was great friend Of Blondin,
the old rope walker who crossed Nj
agara. Blondin taught him to walk
the rope, and he frequently invited
the villagers to see him perform. On
such occasions he always wore tights,
just as Blondin did. He belonged to
an ancient Saxon family, Of which Sir
Henry Neville Dering is the head. He
left an only daughter, who is now hav-
ing the lawns moved for the first time
in a generation.

no one, it is said, knows Carter II.
Harrison. Inscrutability seems to be
this mans predominating trait, and
those who know him best are the first
to call attention to the fact.
Harrison is unique figure in Chi
cago politics. For four terms, from
1897 to 1905. he wore his fathers
hat succeeding the elder Harrison in
the chair that he relinquished only
when he was shot down by the assas-
sin Prendergast.
Harrison was born in Chicago in
1860. When he was thirteen he was
sent abroad to study German, and for
nearly four years he lived in Heidel-
berg and Altenberg. To this day he
sings the old German songs.
Merriam the Scholar.
Professor Merriam, the slender
scholar with the boyish face, doesn't
object in the least to being dubbed a
politician. He believes in reform-in a
whole lot of reforms should ANYBODY
ask you-but he isn't in the way of
trying to bring them about by ranting
and writing letters of protest.
Merriam calls himself young man.
HI was born in Hopkinton, Ia, in
1874, got all the college and university
degrees he could accumulate at Lenox
college, the state University Of Iowa
and Columbia university and then
spent two years in Berlin and Paris
brushing up on some of the things he
thought he didn't know Immediately
thereafter, in 1900, he joined the fac
ulty Of the University of Chicago and
has been there ever since in the de-
partmeht of political science.
Not being busy enough at the uni
versity, Professor Merriam has gone

DREAD0UGHTS ARE DOOMED.

Semi submersibles, Torpedo Proof, the
Coming 6attleships.
Westcott Abel, professor of naval
architecture at the University of Liv-
erpool. in lecture predicted the aban-
donment of heavy plating above the
water line of warships and the eventu-
al disappearance of the Dreadnought
type.
The future battleship, he said, would
be an oil driven, semi-submersible pro-
tected by thick horizontal deck and
underwater armor strong enough to
resist torpedoes. 1t would be armed
with big guns on high towers, would
have submerged torpedo tubes and be
difficult to hit or sink.

Total Abstinence Has invaded King

The British navy has just taken a
step unprecedented in it's history. The
two cruisers Rainbow and Niobe are
to be teetotal men-of-war. contrary to
all marine traditions.
Grog has always been a part of the
standard ration, being a connection of
one part rum to three parts water,
but no such luxury is to be permitted
on the two ships above mentioned. In
the old days-in fact, down to 1S3O-the
daily allowance to each man was a
gallon Of ale and half pint of rum.
The quantity has been greatly modi-
fed, but it certainly never entered
any tar's head that the time was com.
