BATTLESHlP OF THE FUTURE
May Be Gigantic Submarine Capable of Diving Below Surface After
 Firing Broadside.

Albert Knox, discussing in The Navy the necessity of new style of warship, says that if modern steel protective armor has failed to an- swer the purpose for which it was manufactured-a fact that seems to have been demonstrated beyond dis pute by the experiments on the San Marcos-then heavily armored ships of war may soon be things of the past and modern battleships must seek new means and methods of pro- lection from the attack of, or while attacking, an equal or superior en- emy. Among the methods might be suggested increased speed, greater accuracy of gunfre (if possible), shortened time for finding range. Even with these points of superior ity the future battleship needs as a requirement of paramount impor- tance the ability to hide or to be- come invisible to the enemy. Of course this requirement. can only be met by the future Dreadnought be- ing gigantic submarine capable of diving below the surface of the sea after firing a broadside and reap bearing in an unexpected place. That such battleships will be built within the coming century is entirely with in the range of probability.

ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR,

We have a comparatively new trouble with our teethsin which the teeth loosen in the jaw without ap- parent cause and drop out, leaving the dentist in mystery. In these re- cent years the general tendency to- ward badness has been marked as unusually apparent. Are the electric waves used night and day in wire less telegraphy cause?
 Professor Hensingmuller suspects they may be. The effect of elec- trolysis is marked as it escapes from the cables of a power station. He says that in the sending of wireless message only one mile, that portion of the electrical energy used is only 00,000,000ths of the energy ex- rended. The rest goes into the air.

ROASTED ALIVE.

Agnes Kone, a farmers wife, at Gortschach, in Carniola, Hungary, recently committed suicide in an ap- palling way. She was the recog- nized beauty of the district, lived very happily with her husband and four children, and was known as an extremely devoted Roman Catholic. The other day, on returning from church, where she had received the communion, she sent her children and the servant to her husband, who was engaged in field work. Then she kindled big fire in the oven, light ed six candles and put them on this improvised altar, undressed, and crept into the red-hot oven, where the husband and children found her charred body. From a note she left it was found that she had roasted herself alive in the kitchen oven in a frenzied desire to die like the martyrs at the stake.

CARDINALATE REDUCED.

The Catholic college of cardinals has now the smallest membership re- corded in centuries, and the smallest proportion of Italians ever known The traditional membership is 70, and by the recent death of Cardinal Cayicchioni it is reduced to 10. It is three and a half years since any car dinals have been created, and it is likely to be a year before a consistory is called, whereat alone new cardinals are proolaimed.

GERMANS IN THE HOLY LAND
Subjects of the Kaiser Are Rapidly Gaining a Firm Foothold
 in Palestine.

Tourists who visit the Holy Land note the progress of its Germaniza- ton. On the road to Nazareth most of the inns are kept by Germans. Nearly all the streets of Jaffa have the aspect of the Prussian village. The houses have red roofs and are surrounded by the little garden so dear to Gretchen. Traces of the Teuton are everywhere. The Syrian has been supplanted by the Berliner, who has migrated from the banks of the Spree to the borders of the Jor- dan in order to make his fortune. German is spoken everywhere.
 The American consul himself is a German. Souvenirs of the kaiser abound everywhere. Here one shows a fountain that he erected to furnish water to the pilgrims dying of thirst; there is a road that he lev elled to tighten the fatigue of the journey. Enthusiastic guides show on the Mount of the Ascension, be- side an imprint attributed to the Fhrist or to Mahomet, according to ones faith, a human foot, well marked in the rock, of which he will confdentially murmur in the ear of the tourist: William II. stepped there." In hundred years perhaps this will solidify into the legend of William II.-Le Cri de Paris.

HEARTY ANGEVlNS.

The Angevins are substantial eat CTS and hard drinkers. The wine of the country is stronger than further south, and, as they argue, ''bien traitre." They are also fond of ''ap- eritifs" at odd hours, and like their liquors with their coffee. The Count de Milleheurs recently found fault with one of his friends for only hav- ing two small glasses of brandy after each meal-"Every one here drinks four''-and then talked of one of his neighbors who said that bottle of wine felt inside him very much like a mouse in cathedral. They have, however, been perhaps unjustly ma ligned in the saying "Angevin, sac a vin," but they certainly do drink more than most Frenchmen, who, particularly in the south, are re- markedly abstemious.-Saturd Re view.

HEN NOW IS A FINANCIER
Realizing the Value of Her Product. She Is- "Skimpins" the
 Size of Eggs.

It seems that our old friend, the hen, is being charged with skimping the size of her eggs. All of which confirms the discoveries made by an ordinary pleb freshman at the Uni versity of Kansas. He has laid aside the classics and gone in for poultry psychology. If the hen is guilty, as charged, of reducing the size of her packages for the market, she shows that fine mentality called 'the financier's view" She is in touch with the best commercial thought of the day. Behold the manufacturers of our breakfast food, how in times when people were becoming accus- toned to paying more for every thing, they reduced the size of their original packages; behold, likewise, the man who makes our cloth, how he has reduced the number of threads from 64 to 56, and the man who ounce by ounce has reduced our loaf to only an emaciated shadow of its former self Is not, indeed, the hen "wise" ?-Indianapolis News.

SHOOTING RAPIDS IN JAPAN
Exciting Sport for Tourists Made Safe by Marvellous Skill of Ma
 tive Boatmen.

The rapids on the Hodzu river near Kyoto must fill even the most blase of tourists with excitement. A train from Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully upward until finally it de- posits its passengers at a quaint little siding.
 From here, says the Wide World, one goes to the river bank and em- barks in a rude, fat-bottomed boat, which is pushed out by four men into the middle of broad river, reed-edged and sleepy.
 For few minutes one glides dreamily along; then, rounding a curve, one suddenly hears the roar of water and the boat tears down a rapid, just missing the banks on each side. The high banks race past, death appears imminent, and then, with one mad swirl, it is all over and the boat is on the quiet unrufled stream once more.
 This happens again and again for nearly an hour. At first ones whole mind is filled with the conviction that an accident must happen, but gradually comes a delicious feeling of safety as one notes the marvellous skill these men show in piloting the boat through the seething rapids and one is able to appreciate the beauty of the scene. -.

 Because, Miss Nora," answered the young man, ''the fact is, my name in not Durand, my name is Dupont"

EARTH IS BEING WORN AWAY
Surface of Country Is Removed at Rate of an Inch Every
 760 Years.

Because of the erosions of numer- ous drainage basins of the United States the surface of the country is being removed al the average rate of an inch in every i60 years. That is rather comfortable to know. It will take great many years before the land is again sunk beneath the ocean. The geological survey is sponsor for this information.
 It says additionally that, although the amount may appear trivial, it is stupendous when considered as a total. The Mississippi river carries annually to the sea 136,400,000 tons of dissolved matter and $40, 0,500.000 tons of suspended matter, and of this total the Ohio river carries S3,- 350,000 tons and the Missouri river twice as much. The Colorado river. which has built up for itself a vast delta, brings down more suspended matter than any other river in the United States, delivering annually 3S7 tons for each square mile of its drainage basin, or a total of 100,- 740,000 tons.
 The rivers of the United States carry to tidewater every year 270,- 000,000 tons of dissolved matter and 513, 100000 tons of suspended mat ter. This total of 7S3,00O,OO0 tons represents more than $50, ,000,00O cubic yards of rock, or 610, ,000,O0O yards of surface soil. If this erosive action, says the geological survey, had been concentrated on the Isth- mus of Panama at the time of the American occupation, it would have excavated the prism for an S5-foot level canal in 73 days.

WORK OF THE ANCIENT HUNS
Stone-Walled Ring That Is Being Ex- cavated at Otsenhausen In the
 Black Forest.

A Hun ring, reminding one of the Roman castra found in various parts of Great Britain, is being examined afresh at Otsenhausen in the Black Forest district. It dates from pre- Roman times, indeed is believed to be one of the earliest works of the kind.
 It lies in the hills 612 meters above the sea, and the wall inclosing it is over 1900 meters long. The wall is SO built as to be completely hidden bv trees, and as it is 30 me- ters broad at the top and ten feet high, the inclosure is practically hid den from view. The stones compos- ing the wall are of small size and loosely arranged, so that the diff culty of surmounting 1t is increased and the chance of a night surprise diminished.
 At present there are several open ings in the wall, but it is believed that originally there was only one. The site of the latter has been ex- cavated and the remains of Roman vessels unearthed. The inclosure was supplied with water from a well at one end and must have afforded a refuge for a large number of men and cattle.

French
From Financial America

In France large fortunes are not the
rule. According to the statistics OF
legacy duties paid in 1909, and only re-
Gently published, a disposition of ST.
1853, 900. 900 was made among 379,41S
SUGGESTIONS. OF these four-dfths va
ried between 5000 and $4,000. Forty
six exceeded 81, 900, 900; 10 exceeded 81
100000, and only two exceeded S10,-
000,0 600. The total duties paid amount
ed to $54, 250,000 Whatever wealth lie
contained in France it is very evident
from these statistics, is largely sub
divided among the masses. And while
the French can not point to colossal in
dividuai fortunes in France, as we may
point to in this county, on the whole
1t is probable the lot of the average
French citizen is not less contented
than that of the average citizen in this
country. Experience teaches tina where
great wealth is amassed by the few at
the expense of the many, society is
not ideally cemented. Whether this i.
true or not of the United States, it is
certainly not the case in France.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton OF the results OF g four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and / myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and ervou
ness caused by it.
Il know it was that, because when
I would leave it off for a few days I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, even though / realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. -Four years
ago I abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and / also in
1uenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
81 no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since / began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
I'VE appreciate Postum as a de-
iightful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the
best of nourishment as WELL" Name
