A BattIeship's Eyes.

In the design and equipment OF Un-
Gle Sans newer battleships no feature
Is more noticeable than the facilities
afforded for observation by the officers
and men stationed on the bridgc-oD-
servations of the beaccns and. other
aids to navigation, but more especially
observations Of the movements Of a
supposed enemy. On the bridge and
OIL the 'sfire control" tower overhead
are to be found artificial aids for the
"eyes of the battleship," ranging al
the way from old fashioned glasses tc
the powerful telescopes and kindred
apnihilators Of distance that are too
large to be supported at arms length
and manipulated after the fashion OF
the spyglasses of the ancient mariner

The Funny Penguins.

Of all the foreign birds to be seen In
geological collections 1t is the penguins
that gain the most popularity with the
least attempt to Go 50, says Il writer
In the Lond5a Graphic. Tho proceeds:
They-ao not affably converse with the
public like pnrrots or make grotesque
Ieramaces like pelicans. Indeed, they
studious!y ignore the visitors whom
they attract by their in!mitably quaint
rcaricature Of humanity. No birds de-
part more in form from the usual bird
type, and there is something about
them which irresistiDly suggests an
|oyerfed little boy in an orercoat with
the sleeves very much too tight for
him as they toddle about with their
stiff wings hanging down or solemnly
mediate three inch jump.

The Cedars of Lebanon.

Very carefully inclosed and guarded
are the 200 remaining cedars of Leb-
anon, those famous trees that once
clothed all the sides Of the Syrian
mountains. So tall and beautiful were
they in comparison with the trees OF
Palestine that the Hebrew writers cell
ebrated them with extraordinary
praise, and from the earliest times
their soft white wood was the glory
Of Jewish architecture. They were
used in Solomon's temple and In Its
successor and also in the church that
Constantine built at Jerusalem.
The surviving trees are called by the
Arabs the "trees Of Cod" and under
their widespreading branches the cler-
gy of the Greek church occasionally
celebrate mass.
Several of the trees in the grove are
over 1,5OO years old and have height
Of 100 feet and circumference Of so
In appearance they more resemble the
arcd larch or the majestic oak thar

a Poet Who Dreaded Fire.

Thomas Gray, author of the "Elegy,"
had q weakness in the form OF nery-
Gus dread Of fire. His chamber at st.
Peters college, Cambridge, being on
the second floor, he thought 1t likely
that in case of fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut off. He therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside of his win
dow, designing by a rope attached
thereto to descend in the event or
fire occurring This excessive caution
led to a practical joke by his fellows.
One midnight a party OF students
thundered at his door with loud cries
of "Fire, frer' The nervous poet
flew to his window and slid down the
rope to the ground, where he was nall
ed with shouts Of laughter. The Win
dow, with its iron apparatus, IS still
shown, 1t is said. Grays delicate ma
lture was so shocked by this rough joke
that he changed his lodgings.

Tepnvson's CareIeSsness.

Tennyson, like Thackeray, seems to
have been careless about his manu-
scripts. Some weeks after leaving his
lodgings in Mornington place, Hamp-
stead, he wrote to Coventry Patmore
from the Isle Of Wight telling him that
he could not find "book Of elegies-
q long, butcher ledger-llke book" and
that he had some obscure remembrance
Of lending it to Patmore. IF So" EH
concluded, "a!l IS well; If not, viii you

Wa4ar and EIectricity,

Since the general introduction OF
electricity into the cities it has been
known that it was possible to secure
a very considerable shock through q
stream of water, and tiremen In all
large cities are on the lookout for this.
Wires which look as if they might con-
duct heavy currents are cut before a
stream of water is thrown in their di-
rection. Recently in the construction
of an electric railway in South Africa
it was noticed that column of steam
from a locomotive could be the means
of conveying the current, and several
workmen were shocked In this man

TWO STRONG ENTRIES
In Sunday Magazine $4,000 Prize
Story Contest,

Our Sunday Magazine tomorrow will be
one of the most notable numbers we have
ever printed, for it contains two stories in
the prize competition by authors of world
wide fame. The first is Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, probably the best known short
story writer in the world at the present
day. He was one of the first to show in
terest in our proposal. and at once fin
ished The Contest as his initial entry.
1.-The Contest is a typical Doyle tale,
written with all the care this great au-
thor always gives to his literary produce
lions. The scene is laid III the time of the
terrible Emperor Nero, 66 AID. when
that infamous monarch was In the midst
of his doubtful glory and deals with q
trip he made to Greece in search of hon
ors as a vocalist. He thought he could
sing, and put to torture and death any
body that dared to think he couldn't. 1t
happened that there was a Grecian goat
herd who was somewhat Of a singer him
self, and knowing nothing of the iden-
tity of the squatty figure discordantly
yowlng in the Olympia Theater, shrieked
offer his own voice in competition with
the royal caterwauler POlicels was then
in an exceedingly ticklish situation.
Sir Conan Doyle has not given us a
modern tale: but what Of 1t? 1t deserves
inclusion among the classics.
The other competing tale is THE
Truth" written by Mabel Herbert Urner.
| who gained fame a few years ago
through her journal Of a Neglected
Wife, Our story is nothing like the
journal" but it is a sweet, romantic
tale of a girl and a man. The girl. like
many thoughtless young women. was
afflicted with the unfortunate habit of
exaggeration in nearly everything she
uttered, which at times, indeed, became
not far from downright falseho Ids. Her
fance was a fine, upright young man
who, of all things. abhorred lie: but
when he perceived Winifreds unfortu-
nate habit he did not cast her off indig-
nantly. as many would have done. but set
about to cure her. 1t was tough task,
and there were numerous comic and even
semi-pathetic situations. Whether Mrs.
Urner should win one of the prizes or
not, she has provided a delightful half
hours entertainment for our Sunday
Magazine readers, and at the same time
making it's chief point an all too COM

Classed as Gross SANDER.

Il want to say to the senator from New

never was sroSser SANDER against a

ecutions which are found in the south on
is; We know the country from which Il
comes and the system which there pre-
walls. where there is practically slav-
cry. lifelong slavery; and not only a
lifelong slavery. but a slavery from gem
Grafton to generation under the bondage
Of debt
There is no such thing in the south.
and the pretenses of peonage in the
south are based upon those things which
are hardly worth while being called. of
lenses. They grow out of a condition of
affairs where honest men, honorable men.
aw-abiding men, have to advance money
as monthly wages to people under
contract that they will do work for a
certain period. generally very short
period. and where those who have thus
contracted seek to evade their obligation,
and where it is simply an effort to make
them carry out the contract, not OF peon-
age, but the contract for ordinary labor
for which they have been paid In ad-
vance That is about the sum and sub
stance Of every charge of neonage that
comes I'D from the south. 1t is in almost
ever. instance the effort TO enforce the
performance Of contract of few
months, where the wages have been in
good faith paid in advance by the EN-
ployer for the advantage and convenience
of the laborer 1t is a gross SANDER upon
our people, too often countenanced by the
courts, to represent that as peonase.

There was brief colioquy. and Mr.. Bacon
came at the New York senator with a
specific question.

the states have. now upon their statute
books laws which regulate the suffrage In
those states. such as the senator speaks
Of as the grandfather clause though

called. all the body CT laws with refer.
ence to the regulation and limitations OF

Congress should conceive that they were

have the power. under the amendment OF
the senator from Utah, to annul those
provisions and to make federal laws to
control the election OF senator's in such
- -suI,& oil
persons thought by Congress to tie en-
titled to yote?''
without the slightest doubt Mr..
Root responded. The reply was SO direct,

SO unequivocal. that Ny. Bacon was silent
for a minute.
We'll, Mr. President" Mr.. Bacon thea
remarked. 1T is well that we are given
