AEROS CAN TRAIL SUBMARINES.
Navy Finds Slightly Submerged Yes
seIs Are DiscernibIe.

That submarines running slightly
submerged can be detected by observ-
ers in aeroplanes is the conclusion
reached by naval officer of the United
States following an extended series
of Joint manoeuvres by aeroplanes and
submarines in the Chesapeake Bay
near this city.
1t was found that the submarine
Periscope caused ripples on the sur
face even though the boat was a few
feet under water. These ripples
were discerniable from an aeroplane
About 500 feet was found to be
the most satisfactory altitude for
making observations of submarine
operations below the surface. Bino-
culars, it was found, are not neees-
sary for locating submarines from
aeroplanes.
The manoeuvres in Chesapeake
Bay were not wholly satisfactory,
as it was found the waters of the
bay were too muddy to permit of
fair tests. The normal muddin ess
of the bay waters was increased by
the disturbance of the muddy bot
tom by hundreds of oyster tongers
operating in the vicinity of the sub
marines.

BETTER BILL THAN EVER.
Al Popular Playhouse Colonial Tbeat's

A better bill than ever at the pop
ular little playhouse this half of the
week. The two new acts are excep-
tionally clever and Aletheia gave q
wonderful performance last night.
Each day she is deluged with letters
asking questions which she so kind
~ answers.
Go to the Colonial and ask her
ANYTHING you want 70 know and she
will tell correctly. She has told
some very wonderful things during
her short stay here. Only two
nights more. Don't put it off. Go
tonight.
Vic Woodward offered a very
lever and pleasing novelty and some
thing entirely new here. He starts
with one tambourine ahd keeps spin
ming until he spins fourteen at one
time. Joers and Hogue, in their act,
"Iust Count, do a clever sketch
in which an impecunious German
Count, gifted musically, but unable
to direct his talents into profitable
channels, Is induced by 2 little news
girl to make a bluff at starvation by
filling dates at d picture show.
The act has reat merit AMI the
characters are we'll sustained There
is enough quaint comedy and original
humor in the Interpretation of the
Counts situation by the street girl to
make it pleasing and sufficient to give
it the necessary pathetic coloring.
Their act is bound to make hit in
any class.
There is a special two-reel feature
picture that you cannot afford TO
miss, it is a powerful piece of work, a
very wonderful production. 1.-THE
Vengeance of a Fakir," by the Eclair
Company. There is thrill after thrill,
introducing for the first time in pic
lures Royal Bengal Tigress and a
beautiful though treacherous Leopard.
1t is a story of the Far East and a
beautiful production. Another of the
regular Boyer Kind" pictures will
complete the bill.

RELICS OF THE MAINE
Tablets 10 be Constructed From Scraps
Of Historic Vessel.

The Navy Department, Washing
ton. has accepted the designs of
Charles Ksck, New York sculptor,
for the memorial tablets which are to
be cast from the scrap material of
the historic batCleship Maine, buried
outside Havana harbor last spring.
When the hull of the battleship,
whose loss was followed by the Span
sh-American war, was raised from
the harbor where she had lain for
fourteen years, every thing about
which sentiment could attach was
saved as a relic.
Much of the material, however, was
unsuitable for preservation in its ex-
listing shape. The department order
ed that from this debris 1000 mem
orial tablets be cast. The tablets
will be 13x1s inches and will be suit
ably inscribed. Each will weigh
about seventy pounds.
They may be obtained by municipal,
military and naval organizations
throughout the country, the only con-
dition being that the recipient shall
pay for their actual cost.

DESTROYER BUFFETED BY SEAS
WarringtO1 Fights Gale Up lhe Coast
to Boston.

The destroyer Warrington, Lieut..
William Ancrum, y. S. N, in COM
mand, reached Newport, r. L.. Christ
mas morning from Norfolk after a
hard trip of over twenty-tour hsurs.
The Warrington was making her
first trip up the coast since being re-
built at the Norfolk navy yard. The
destroyer ran into the northeast gale
with its accompanying snowstorm
after leaving Hampton Roads. Seas
occasionally washed the deck of the
boat and though the destroyer was
making good weather of it, speed was
reduced to twelve knots.
The foretopmast was carried away
and at one time Lieutenant Aucrum
thought that least one of the small
boats would be smashed at the davits.
The Warrington, however. kept on
her northsrly course, and despite the
fact that at times the boat was roll
ing from forty-five to fifty degrees, it
made good time on the trip.

MAN HIS BEST AT 50.
German Christmas Symposium Reveals
This Opinion.

A special cablegram TO the New
York Sun from Berlin, under date Of
December 25, says
The Tsgeblatt today featured a
Christmas symposium entitled The
Man Of Fifty. Many physicians.
noted commercial men, artists and
others contributed their opinions. and
they agree that man Of fifty years is
as valuable as man of forty winters.
and frequently much more useful.
Professor Krause asserts that it is
absurd to describe a man of fifty as
even growing old. He declares that
it is only in exceptional cases, due to
special causes, that he reveals de.
creased elasticity. DR.. Lepmann
contends that a man of go is highly
superior in intellectual worth, owing
to his reliability, steadiness, expert
ence and rational living.
Professor Kampf, the president of
the Royal Academy, asserts that the
great artists of all times have don e
their best work between the ages of
40 and so.
DIR. Zeitln, secretary of the Berlin
Retail Traders Association, blames
the Americanization' Of German
commercial life for the increasing
prejudice against men of so, this re-
sultilg in the ruthless election of the
older employees of firms in favor Of
the younger men.

NEW YEARS ATTRACTION.
Next Week at Academy Of Music
Baltimore.

Mpsic that enchants, story that
interests. dancing that delights, and
4 company Of one hundred players
All 90 to make up that stellar attrac-
tor. .The Count of Luxenburg, which
comes to the New Academy Of Music,
baltimore. on Monday night, direct
from the New Amsterdam Theatre,
where for months theatregoers have
reveled in the catchy music OF Franz
I.ehar and the clever story written by
Glen McDonough.
This pre- duction really is a musl-
cal romance. A most interesting SER
les Of love stories are woven in the
Iibretto and their life ii ascentuated
hv the tuneful me lodies of the Hun
yarian composer. The music is fairly
haunting. One catchy number FOL
lows another. Some of the songs one
is bound to remember are: A Car
nival for Life, "Day Dreams
"Rootsy- Pootsie, and the famous
waltz number, in which the Count and
an opera singer glide up and down
the long grand staircase to the catchy
| strains OF the Lehar music.
Theatrsgoers may well count them
| selves fortunatas in seeing this pro-
| duetioa this winter, as Immediately
| after the engagement here it will be
taken to Chicago for an extended
run there, and Baltimore viii be the
only city outside of New York and
the Windy City to witness it this
season.
The charms of 1.-THE Count of
ILexenbourg" have been heralded
across two continents for the last two
years. Londoners, Parisians and
| Viennese have raved over its tuneful
melodies and fascinating story.
Messrs. Klaw & Erlangsr have pro-
vided a really gorgeous production
that is said 20 sulpass any OF those
abroad. The company OF one hundred
1 players includes Miss Ann Swinburne,
Miss Frances Cameron, Miss Mildred
Elaine, George Leon Moore, Frank
Moulau, Fred Walton and Fred
Bishop.
Juliar Mitchell staged all the en-
sembes and special orchestra to be
brought on to Baltimore will be un-
der the direction of Anton Heindl.
There are twenty musical numbers in
the score. The story deals with the
adventures Of the young Count, whose
romances lead him into no end of in
teresting difficulties, but his roman
tic experiences are not the only ones
depicted. There are several human
love stories, wealth OF bright COM
edy and stage pictures that are ul-
usually attractive.
A special matinee will be given OF
New Years day and the regular mat
inee on Saturday.

The Peach Crop Failure.

Again the peach crop liar rises to
remark a thing or two at Hagers-
town. H Hs says the Washington coun-
ty fruit growers are somewhat ap-
prehensive at the prospect of having
no peach crop next summer.
The open winter, with its warm
days, has abnormally developed the
buds of the fruit trees, rendering
the m more liable to freezing later in
the winter. 1t is said the buds are
further developed than they have ever
been at this season.
Undeveloped buds can withstand a
greater degree of cold. Washington
county's peach crop last summer was
almost a total failure, the buds
freezing when the mercury fell to 80
degrees below zero.
