But 1t was left to Solomon Bernard,
In his woodcuts illustrating the Bible,

WOMEN IN DISCUSSES.

LONDON. May 1. 1912
The interesting story told In the Ac-
ton police court OF a young woman dis
guising herself as a man. working as a
plumber. and posing as the husband Of
a girl friend has a parallel equally ro-
mantle, but more tragic in it's conse-
quences.
A little over forty years ago q young
Bermondsey woman, left an orphan. with
out means. decided to be q man." and
In order to obtain employment disguised
herself accordingly.
She soon got work in local boot fac
tory, and after she had risen to q good
position she and the sub-manager formed
friendship, which resulted in their shar-
ing small cottage. She fell in love with
him, but did not dare to let him know
of 1t, as he had no suspicion Of her sex.
One evening, after they had been keep
ing house together for over a year, he
told her that he was going to get married.
Mad with jealousy, the woman bought a
pistol End shot him dead. She was tried
for murder and sentenced to death, but
the sentence was commuted to one Of
penal servitude.
Another case Of sex disguise il Of re-
cent date, and there are well-known
Anglo-Indians familiar with the particu-
lars. A supposed girl. who had been
brought up from babyhood as q girl, was
found at the age Of nineteen to be of the
other sex. Curiously enough, he married
a lady who had previously been her
most intimate friend. He died a few
years after marriage.

PATROL Of THE COASTS
Of THE UNITED KINGDOM
New Scheme of British De-
tense Inaugurated by
Winston Churchill.

LONDON, May 18.-Under a new
scheme Of defense initiated by Winston
Spencer Churchill. the destroyers of the
British fleet commenced this month
continuous patrol Of the coasts Of the
United Kingdom. The northeast coast,
menaced as 1t is by the powerful feet
Of the German empire, Is necessarily
most closely guarded, and there the most
modern and powerful vessels Of the mos
quito fleet. supported by submarines. have
been stationed.
Four Flotillas Organized.
The whole available forces have been
organized into eight dotillas. four In full
commission and four In reserve. OF the
four active hotillas, the first and second.
most powerful vessels. have their base at
the new naval headquarters at Rosyth,
on the east coast of Scotland, facing d.
rectly across to Germany and guarding
the orth-about exit to the Atlantic.
No fewer than 1S5 destroyers are In
cluded In the new organization, Desioes
eight fast cruisers. eight scouts and
eight depot and repair ships.
Doubles Effective Strength.
Naval experts estimate that the new
scheme doubles the effective strength OF
the advance guard" along the eastern
seaboard.
With the exception Of the NTH hotilla.
all the North sea destroyers are driven
by turbines, and the majority burn oil.
Most OF the vessels at Rosyth have a
speed Of twenty-nine knots and are Mt
ted with wireless telegraphy.

he had holy horror, as he was strongly

had secured q good place near tho scat

when, as the van containing the Access
series drew up, he beheld q smart young
woman emerging from the big pannier
which was to receive the murderer's
corpse.
Noticing his establishment, q man went
up to him and said, Don't mind this.
Monsieur Sardou; it is my wife. She
was bent on Witnessing the sight, and
adopted this little stratagem to enable
her to do so.' The speaker was none
other than the executioner. and Sardou
had scarcely recovered from his surprise
when one Of the assistants walked up
and coolly claimed acquaintance with
him. You don't recognize me, Monsieur
Sardou?" he said.

burst out laughing and replied: You see.

All this was. as will be admitted. rather
an odd prelude to the grim spectacle that
was to follow. The executioner's wife
had come slowed away in the pannier

thrown, and the man who assisted with
the scenery simply regarded this as good
opportunity for getting an extra job
Sardou had no chance of interviewing
Tropmann with the object of ascertain
ing whether he was inclined to take an
equally eccentric view of his position;
gested thoughts which were reflected In
some of his plays, as the contrast be-
tween the tragic and the comic side OF
the whole affair was SO remarkable.

Correspondents OF The Star.

GENEVA, May I. 1872
M. Vallot. the proprietor Of the observa-
tories on Mont Blanc, has just completed
an interesting work on the Existence
and Effects of Aerial Dust on the Mont
Blanc Glaciers" He states that during
his Investigations in 1911, when he spent
some weeks on the summit OF Mont
Blanc. he noticed many white butterflies
and wasps, which did not seem at all at
fected by the high altitude. They had
probably been blown upward by strong
air currents, and lowered over the
glaciers in spite of the great cold, as IL
they were in the valley.
NJ. Vallot also states that there is a
certain amount Of dust in the high aerial
regions which is continually falling upon
the Alpine glaciers.
