james Watt took out a patent on his
steam engine IN l7oo. but as far back
as 1913 there was a captain In Spain
who constructed a vessel Of 200 tons
and propelled II az Barcelona in the
presence Of the Emperor Charles v.
and bis court BY an engine, the con
struction Of which be kept a secret
But an old document says that In Il
was q monster caldnon Of water and
that there were two movable wheels
on the outside Of the vessel The en-
peror was satisfied with It's operation,
but the treasurer OF the kingdom OBJ
jected to Il. and 50 no encouragement
was given 10 the enterprise The poor
inventor. whose name was Blasco de
Guerrero. wearied and disguised at the
want Of patronage. took the engine out
Of the vessel. and the secret OF the
machine was buried IN bis grave.
The incident was almost duplicated
In France a century later. The IA
nous Marian de rOrme, a celebrated
Frenchwoman. who lived to be 1S4
years old. told in a letter TO an admir-
er. dated 1641. Of a man confined In a
madhouse OF Paris for urging that
anything could be done by the force

''ln the tropics when the cocoanut Is
wanted for planting" said an importer
Of the fruit, 1.-THE nuts are picked up
when they fall from the tree where
they have hung for about fourteen
months IN ripening. II Is a fact not
generally known that a majority Of
the nuts drop at night, which probably
accounts for the small loss OF life by
cocoanuts falling upon the heads Of
the natives.
The action Of the heavy dew at
night lo0sens the seal with which ma
ture has provided the nut and allows
Il TO fall. The nuts wanted for plant
ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds. where they are
allowed 70 sprout before planting in
order that good. healthy nuts may be
selected. thus avoiding the possibility
OF planting blind nuts that win not
sprout. IN which case much time would
be lost IN starting the eOcoanut walks.
as the orchards are called When holes
are dug, about three feet deep and
twenty feet spart, the nut Il carefully
placed therein and covered with about
a foot Of soil. The hole Is filed as the
sprout grows until the latter reaches
the surface. then Il is left to itself. re-
curing no further attention Should
the place where the cocoanut is planted

few of their friends on 1hurdsay of
last week, when they gave Eva Peter
a birthday surprise by giving a card
shower and serving an elaborate
lunch. The cake was baked by Irene
VanMoorhem an Hope Brown and
was a most delicious as well as a
beautiful cake. On the arrival Of
Miss Sweeney it was learned that
her birthday was on the same day.
Excitement was at it's height when
Miss Peter and Miss Sweeney cut
the cake, for dime. a thimble and
a ring were to be drawn. Willie
Van Moorhem drew the dime, Irene
VanMoorhem the ring and if we said
which young lady drew the thimble
that would be telling things. After
lunch the remainder of the after
noon was spent in music and fortune
telling. Twelve besides the club
members were present.

The three special game wardens
that were put in the field by the
Game protection club for the open
ing Of the hunting season reported
at the last meeting that they had
found several does killed and left in
the woods by the hunters, and on
account of their report it was re-
solved that due steps should be
taken to have a petition circulated
in proper form and have Orcas ISL
and declared a game reserve for
deer. If this is not done and the
law remains for three years as it
now stands there will not be doe
on the island. The law was made
to protect the does, but it has
proven a mistake. If the hunter
shoots a doe. he leaves 1t and goes
on with he hope Of getting a buck
with the next shot. It has been re-
ported that one man shot three does
before he killed a buck. Where, il
the law had stated one hunter, one
deer, or not made any mention Of
the sex, that hunter would have
been satisfied with his first kill and
the other deer would have been
saved. | have heard several hunters
say they cannot tell the difference
between buck and doe until they
kill them. It is high time such
slaughter be stopped.

Not every girl cares for a mono
gram, because such a marking seems
just bit complex or involves more
work than one has time or inclination
to accomplish. The point lace stitch
is quite as effective in single letters,
provided the designer can lend them
sufficient individuality. In the case Of

The point lace stitch is bit difficult
to learn, but once the art is mastered
the work goes very rapidly. Although
the effect Of such a marking is de-
lightfully transparent and appears to
be as fragile as flligree, 1t withstands
a great number Of launderings and in
case Of a break may readily bs re-

repair the damage in time so that the

Attempts at Suicide Ignored in Army

this offense is not punishable by court
martial, although a test case never
has been brought up.
General Davis declared that at
tempted suicide is technically consid'
cred a crime in the army and navy.
"It is a fact that, although many
men and officers of the army and
navy have attempted suicide, not one
Of them has even been court mar
tailed" he continued "Just why
this should be l do not know.
"In both the army and the navy at
tempted suicide is considered a crime,
but has never been officially recogniz.
ed as such Both branches Of the
service frown on the practice, how
ever.
"The case in Germany, where EN-.
peror William pardoned Count Hans
Won Preill after he had been convict
ed by a court of honor for this of,
fense, cannot be compared to similar
cases in this country, because suicide
is looked upon differently there In
Germany an army man who commits
certain offenses is almost expected to
commit suicide, and therefore thet
would naturally be more lenient there
In the United States a man who tries
to kill himself is looked down upon"

across rough country, suburban
streets, across brooks and through

The success. Of these dogs in Gin

the departments Of other large cities.
According to the history of the

at least the people were dependent on
them in tracing criminals. This was
especially so on the border line be.

MR.. JUSTICE HARLAN, associate
lVI justice of the Supreme court of
the United States, rather startled So
ciety women of Washington and New
York the other night when at the an
nual banquet Of the Presbyterian alli-
ance of Washington he declared that
there are a lot of snobs who have
come down here from New York and
other cities where wealth is para
mount and have set up customs which
are injurious to the people Of this
community. Sunday afternoon teas,
rnusicales and other social functions
are, in my mind, a desecration Of the
Sabbath. Something must be done to
stem the tide of depravity which will
otherwise sweep over US"
Then this sweeping rebuke to soci
ETY. in Washington is in a measure
firmly upheld by Mrs, Mathew T.
Scott, president general of the daugh-
ters of the American Revolution and
herself one Of the cliff dwellers' set
And be it known the cliff dwellers are
not the official set at all, but the old
resident set Of Washington. Until you
have been admitted to that particular
circle you are not really 'in society"
Mrs Scott says:
