There Really Are Sea Serpents,
 and Here Is the Proof.

Another similar monster was seen off the coast of Sicily by the commander of the royal yacht Osborne. He described it as ' a ridge of triangular fins. each about six feet out of the water, with large, round head about six feet in diameter and huge fappers which moved like those of turtle" He estimated the length of the monster at about sixty feet.
 The commanders of two other British ships report having seen seTpents in the Seu.h Atlantic not very far off the coast of Afric,. These specimens were much more of the pent shape and general appearance than any of the others described and had names on their backs which looked like a mass of sea weed. Still another sea serpent was seen by the officers and crew of a ship in the Gulf of California. It was shaped more like an alligator than a serpent and had four pad dles like turtle.
 Gosse and Newman. both famous zo6ogists have stated their belief that either a few specimens of direct descendants of the antedi- luvian monsters still exist possibly some of the old and original monsters themselves

 All the news is telephoned and in Newark, at least, it is said to be success.

It's news is constantly tap, like water or gas.

This original telepEvnc newspaper had to install it's own wires. and as press services, like the telephone, not well de- veoped in Hungary, it also has to maintain a large editorial staff, including two princi- pal editors. six subeditors, and a dozen re- porters, besides eight stentors." as the men who read the news into the transmitters are called.
 The Newark Herald does not use the regi- lar telephone lines, but extra wires. The newspaper telephone, which is not like the ordinary telephone. since it will carry mes sages in only one direction, has never been patented. Instead the secret of its construc- tion has been carefully guarded he internal arrangement of the switchboard is kept under lock and key. All that an outsider can find out about it is what he can see. This in- cludes an ordinary looking switchboard in a room by itself.

The high power shells were able to penetrate the steel walls without difficulty
 The first armored ships carried wrought iron protection. The Monitor and the Mer- rimac were the first on this side and the Warrior was the first British iron clad. The latter had 45 inch armor and it's nine inch gun could penetrate eight inches of such armor at 5000 yards The present vessels have armor of from eighteen 10 twenty-four inches. The present 13 inch gun at 5000 yards can penetrate about tiranty-sx inches of this protection. or what h equivalent to sixty-one inches of wrought iron.

En9land's Titled People Bathe
 Kings Feet, and Serve Soup.

~ ONE of the most arstocratic mem-
 bers of British royalty are called upon o at certain times to perform such me
 nal tasks as washing the kings hands, making soup and pouring cut wine. Further more, they consider it an honor. Perhaps if they were compelled to perform such services for any one but the king they would object, but as these duties are inherited along with their titles, they can not very well escape them.
 Of course, the kings hands are washed by other persons than members of the royalty. If they were not they wouldn't get washed more than once during his reign, for it is only on the occasion of coronation that such Il duty is performed. The lord of the manor of Haydon is the official hand washer, assisted by the lord of the manor of Worksop. It is the first lords duty to pour the water over the kings hands while his assistant stands ready with a towel to dry them.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury may may not be a good soup maker, but nevertheless it is his duty to provide that course at the coronation banquet Once in a lifetime is

 After the show Mayor Walker called on Miss Leslie He wanted to know why she did it.

 Well, you do it again and I'll have you arrested" snapped his honor.
 The next day the mayor issued statement ascribing the incident to his political enemies :" was astonished and shocked when the young woman kissed me-" said the mayor. !" I can motive for it except that some of my enemies will stoop to any means to em- barrass me in my fight for reelection I be- lieve they put her up to it.

Menu Card Was in Use During the Dark Ages in Europe.

was the Duke Henry of Brunswick who
 was first observed in the intervals of K banquet to scan carefully long strip of
 paper by the side of his plate and when the curious guests ventured to inquire into the nature of his studies he explained that it was sort of program of the dishes which he had commanded from the cook, to the in- tent that if some delicacy which especially appealed to him were marked for q late stage in the repast he might carefully reserve his appetite for it.
 The simplicity and beauty of the idea ap- pealed instantly to the dukes circle, and the menu card from that moment became an in stitution. 1n it's old-fashioned form the bill

abort as often as he is compelled to serve it, for which both he and the king may be mn- tually thankful The rest of the menu at the banquet is also provided by nobles.
 The Duke of Norfolk has what might be termed the softest culinary job of all, be- cause he has thirteen assistants to help him see that the wine is properly decanted and served The lord mayor of London and twelve citizens of London are the walters who offer wine to the king in gold cup. They also have nine subassistants in the persons of the mayor of Oxford and eight burgesses of that city
 The average man is sometimes apt to gard these rights and duties as rather child ish, but it must not be forgotten that they are all rooted in some serious purpose. Most of them date from time when the power of the nobles was becoming menace to the peace and safety of the country. The king would then pick out particular baron who had recently manifested signs of "uppish- ness to the crown and in the presence of a large assembly, confer on him the "priyi- lege " of performing this or that task.
