ing at him. what have you got to show in the way of a REAL man?'
 The same thing might be applied to a woman.
 Unless good looks are based upon real depth of heart, and generous apprecia- tion, and certain sweetness of spirit all surface beauty must come to be a delusion and a very great mockery to live with.
 We've heard 1t so very often-about true beauty being heart deep-that we know the remark is classed with the "Bromides."
 None the less. we know that there is truth in it.
 That the fountain of beauty" is in the heart, and that no person could have . face altogether lacking in charm and sweetness, whose heart beats high-to- ward the worlds an indisputable fact.
 Beauty is a very curious and elastic term.
 During the past theatrical season I went to play one evening and on the stage the show girls' advertised as the Beauty Chorus" really filled the bill, when it came to physical perfection.
 There was no criticism that could be offered as to their physical pulchritude Their eyes were bright their hair glossy; their complexions beyond re- proach, yet among the 30 or 35 girls across the stage there was hot one single girl whom l onsidered-BEAUTIFU 1 In the row in front of me there sat a 1 little girl-Im sure she was a working girl
 l She was not pretty perhaps in the usual sense of the term, but she was absolute ly radiant.
 Her face was illuminated by a light from within.
 It was as if some one held a very bright candle behind her face, and the glow showed through.
 She was slim and lovely; there was none of the melting roundness of the girls on ! the stage about her; her eyes had not the expression in them that those girls eyes | had, neither was her skin suffused with the rose that deepened the blush in their cheeks, but she outdstanced them all The exquisite curve of her cheek; her dainty little straight nose; her eager spir- it, reaching out to get what she thought was back of the vapid lines of the play all went toward making her what called l-BEAUTIFULi
 The thing that she felt must be there because of the enchanting music that went with it. Curious world, isn't 1t? There sat BEAUTY and-unnoticed.
 Upon the stage paraded 30 or 35 crea- lures with bodies and souls and hearts made of very ordinary flesh, unillum- mated by one ray of real intelligence.
 The audience dispersed, many of them saying:
 "The show wasn't much. but the Beauty Chorus was immense. Weren't they peaches? Perfect Beauties, every one of them"
 | The prettiest woman to me in the whole house was my little working girl. She had a rose-o e-World-sort- of- | face; a face that somehow fitted the words of Nora Hoppers Irish poem: Rose O the worldAwhat man would wed When he might dream of your face in- 1 stead?"

But Just as soon as darkness set in
and the captain began to suspect
that icebergs or other dangerous OBJ
jects were close at hand. it would be-
come useful. OF it's operation under
such circumstances Sir Hiram says:
1T should be used constantly send
ing out the blasts in every direction.
If the sea were perfectly clear, the
blasts sent out would be recorded at
the very instant of their production,
but no echo would be returned other
than that due to the waves Of the sea,
which would provide a zigzag line of
small amplitude; but if there should
happen TO be an object of any con-
siderable size at distance no greater
than two or three miles, the zigzag
line On the paper would be changed,
the amplitude Of the waves would bs
greater and would be very noticeable
"To make sure, the blasts could be
repeated several times; and then, If
the result should be always the same,
1t would indicate the presence of some
object, and the length of paper be-
tween the primary blast and the echo
would indicate the distance that the
object was from the ship. 1t might
be so arranged that one inch of paper
represented a mile.
THE receiving instruments can be
placed anywhere on the ship where
they can be turned in the same d.
rection that the siren Is turned, and
there may be as many of them as
desirable"
Sir Hiram points out that there are
vastly more accidents to ships caused
by running ashore than by collision
and that coast does not need to pre-.
sent a very bold sea front to produce
a very strong echo" on his appara-
tus. II ship provided with his az.

Only Decoration That the British Sol
diers Value Highly Is the
Victoria Cross"

The fact that there are no fewer
than $4,000 medals stored at Wool
witch awaiting claimants causes one
to wonder whether the soldier puts so
high value on medals as is usually
supposed.
Nearly all Of these medals are for
the Boer war, and there is a special
government department with a staff
of clerks endeavoring to trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals, there are 1000 medals for the
Zulu war which have never been
claimed, and even to this day belated
claims are still put In for medals for
the Crimea and Indian mutiny.
A short time ago, for example, a
veteran named James Crystal applied
for and received a medal for Afghan
istan, after lapse of thirty years.
Most of the Boer war medals at
Woolwich belong to irregulars, who
Joined on the outbreak of the war,
and, after it was over, scattered all
over the world. But many regulars
have not troubled to claim the medal,
alleging that ii is too cheap, and con-
sidering that 10000 OF the medals
were struck, it is certainly never like
ly to become a rarity.

jects for a considerable distance, and
will travel at least 20 miles, SO that
they could be received and recorded
by a suitable apparatus at that dis
lance, and would be able to travel
at least five miles and send back to
the ship a reflected echo that would
be strong enough to be detected"
Sir Hiram point out that in pro-
viding a ship with "a sixth sense"
three distinct devices must be COM
bined: one for producing and sending
out the necessary sound waves, one
for receiving the reflected waves and
making them audible by ringing bells
and another apparatus for recording
the amplitude of the waves. Here is
his description of the apparatus he
has invented:
For producing the vibrations of
waves l prefer to use a modified form
of siren. the disk being rotated at a
suitable speed by a motor of some
kind. preferably an electric motor.

Parthenon in Danger of Collapse.

Parthenon in Danger of Collapse.
A shock will be given to lovers of
antiquity by the suggestion made in
the Revue des Beaux Arts that the
Parthenon is in serious danger of col
lapse Within the las twoIty years
the columns seem to have lost their
rigidity, and unless the work Of
strengthening the foundations is taken
In hand disaster may follow. The
cause of the threatened collapse is
the removal by psychologists Of
sculptcred ruins of an earlier temple
on the Acropolis which served as
foundations for the Parthenon, and
which have been taken to various mu-
seums for display and preservation.
No effective precautions were taken to
replace these relics by fresh masonry.

great amplitude and power they are
able to travel over great distances,
and when they come in contact with
body the waves are reflected back
to the ship in the same manner that
sound would be reflected back, but
this echo would not be audible to the
human ear.
Il therefore provide an apparatus
which might be considered as an arti-
fetal ear. 1t is provided with large
diaphragm tightly drawn over a
drum-shaped cylinder, and SO ar
ranged that the atmospheric pressure
is always the same on BOTH sides,
quite irrespective of any air blast. 1t
is therefore always able to vibrate
freely in response to the waves of the
echo, and its vibrations are made to
open and close certain electrical cir
scuits which ring a series of bells of
various sizes. If, for example, the
object is very small or at very great
distance from the ship, very small

few medals were issued. The first
the Elizabethan seamen who defeated
the Armada, and the earliest military
decoration was a silver badge issued
by Charles l in 1913 for presentation
to soldiers who had distinguished
themselves in forlorn hopes.
Waterloo was the first occasion
when there was a general issue of
medals, and since that time, instead
of issuing too few medals, England
has gone, perhaps to the other ex-
IRENE. Soldiers point out that the
same decoration is awarded to the
man who has been fighting at the
front and carrying his life in his
hands for months, as to the man in a
regiment which has never stirred
from the base of operations or so
much as seen the enemy.
Every effort is made by the author
owners, and il the owner of medal
happens to be dead, the medal is for
warded to his next of kin. Yet there
are still large numbers unclaimed,
and according to the regulations now
In force, at the end Of ten years

instead of ringing a bell it produces
a diagram of the disturbances in the
air-that is, when there is no noise
except that due to the action Of the
ship or the sea waves, wavy line
is produced, but whenever the vibfa-
tons sent out by the vibrator strike
an object and return, the wavy line
on the paper becomes very much in
creased in amplitude, so as to be cas-
lily observed, and the distance that the
object is from the ship can be meas
ured by the length of the paper strip
between the giving off of the vibra-
tons and the receiving of the echo;
therefore, the distance can be de-
termined with a considerable degree
of nicely, and the size of the object
may be determined by the amplitude
of the waves that return
The inventor says that the appara-
tus for producing the atmospheric
vibrations should be placed well for
ward on the main deck of the ship
or in any position where it can be
turned about from port to starboard.
1t should be secured to the deck very
firmly, and connected, by means OF
three-inch pipe, with high-pres-
sure boiler. A straightaway valve
should be placed in the pipe near
the boiler, and some means should
be found of preventing the accumula-
ton of water in the pipe leading to
the apparatus.
Except in foggy or stormy weather,
the apparatus would be merely orna-
mental, of course, until it were used
for communicating with other ships.
