First Tweed Trousers.

Sir Walter Scott's black and white
tweed trousers figured in a paper deal
ing with the designing and coloring OF
Scotch tweeds read by Thomas Welsh
at, the opening session Of the Textile
congress at Harwick. The author was
one Of the earliest wearers OF the
tweed and the first pieces made were
in the black and white design.
Colored checks we're introduced by
accident. A manufacturer had made =
number of pieces and the white was
SO impure and ,soiled they could not be
sold. Then some one suggested that
II the pieces were dyed brown the
defect would be covered. The sugges-
ton was acted upon and new check
of black and brown was the result.
The new color was sent to London
and sold rapidly. It was short step
to dye black and green and blue, and
to make broken checks and the trade
Increased amazingly.
Ideas for colors were collected in
the bed of the River Garry and the
pass Of Killiecrankie. It was now pos
sible for lady to have reversible
skirt made up in such a way<that she
might appear at one time in a modest
blue and at another in the tartan Of
her clan.-London News and Leader.

Fierce Cheese Eaters.

James Oliver Curwood, the novelist
and magazine writer, was aboard the
steamship Megantic, at Montreal and
just before the vessel left on her
trip for Liverpool was watching the
loading Of an enormous quantity Of
Canadian cheese A number of school
teachers were on the boat, bound for
Quebec, and these young ladies were
very much interested in the loading
OF the cheese. One OF them asked
the writer how many there were.
1.-THE Megantic takes on from $4,000
to $4,000 cheese every trip" he truth
fully informed her.
"How-how many people are there
on board?" she asked.
About 1900 this trip"
For q moment the young lady re-
garded him in establishment; then she
looked at the cheese being loaded by
the hundred. b
TITS truly wonderful" she gasped.
II never would have believed 1t II I
had not seen them with my own two
eyes! And only 1900 people! Good
ness me. they must be fierce cheese
eaters!"-Judge. a.

ARMoR MAY BE ABANDONED
Cost and Weight on Rattleships Out OF
All Proportion to Value az
\ Protector.

VIII battleships soon be built with
cut armor protection? Many naval
experts believe that they will. The
protective power OF armor plate has
increased only 2.3 times Id fifty years.
whereas the power of gun fire has in
creased In the same period eight
times. The result is that no armor
the ship can carry is OF sufficient
thickness to stop the high power pro-
jectiles.
The question now agitating the ma
val constructors is whether the efi-
cheney OF the fighting ship will not
be increased by doing away with tho
armor weight. which amounts to
about 30 per cent. OF the displacement
Of the most recent vessels. This weight
handicap, which makes the war vessel
"loggy" in seaway and perhaps dam
gerous, could be used in added gun
and steam power. .y
It is argued by the no-armor crowd
that the best defense Of the vessel Is
in its own gun fire. II this can be
made powerful enough the ship will
need NO other protection for it will be
able to demoralize the enemy and
prevent it from firing accurately
enough to do any damage.
1t is argued that the recent demon
STATIONS in which the United States
used the former battleship Texas as
target and the British demolished tho
Edinburgh showed that the cost and
weight Of armor are out of all pro-
portion to it's value as a protector.
The high power shells were able to
penetrate the steel walls without diff
Guilty. ~
The first armored ships carried
wrought iron protection. The Moni-
tor and the Merrimac we're the first
on this side and the Warrior was the
f1vst British iron clad. The latter
had As inch armor and its nine inch
gun could penetrate eight inches of
such armor at 5000 yards. The pres
ent vessels have armor of from eight
cen to twenty-four inches. The pres
ent Is inch gun at 5000 yards can
penetrate about twenty-six inches OF
this protection, or what is equivalent
to sixty-one inches of wrought iron.
The century old struggle between the
attack and the defense has been 60
ing steadily in favor Of the attack.

No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock. the postmaster
general Of the United States, takes the

Washington. when he decided to 60
into one of the railway mail-service

being handled, Being tall man and.
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay,

him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be
