Deeper man t.,anest Mountain.

The depth of $3.50 meters to which
the founding line of German sur.
vey ship is said to have sunk in the
Pacific ocean near the Philippine
Islands is some 1000 meters deeper
than the previous deepest sounding.
OF the total water surface of the
globe, 145,000,000 square miles, about
one-third stands more than three
miles above the bottom of the sea.
but until now no part of the great
oceans has been discovered deep
enough to submerge Mount Everest.
But if there is no mistake about this
depth of $3.50 meters (32,OSS feet)
the worlds highest mountain could
be sunk there until it's highest peak
was 5000 feet below the waters level.
The deepest soundings have all been
made in the Pacific; 23,250 feet is the
record of the Atlantic, in proximity
to the West Indian Island of St.
Thomas; while the North sea only
averages 300 feet, or about one-tenth
the maximum depth of the icy waters
of the Arctic ocean.

England Has New Rifle

The barrel of the new rifle will not
have the full five inches restored, but
about one-half of that A change OF
considerable importance will be made
in the caliber, which in the new rifle
will be .276 instead of 1903.
An advantage in velocity is expect
ed from this change, as the bullet will
be lighter. The chamber Of the new
rife being larger and the breech
mechanism stronger the explosive to
be used will possess very high power;
and it is not improbable that the
velocity will be 5000 feet a second,
as against 2,45O of the rifle and am
munition now in use. This would give
Britain an advantage OF 100 feet a
second over the nearest rival, and with
the alterations the bullet should never
travel higher than the height OF a
man.
The principle of the aperture sight,
which makes aiming partially auto
matte, has been accepted, and the
loading also will be much quickened
by the new methods of feeding cart
ridges into the chamber. The new
rifle will be few ounces heavier than
the present ee-Entield. 1t is expect
ed that trials will be made with it by
selected troops this summer.

CAMPAIGN is HAVING EFFECT
Already the Death Rate From Tuber-
euIosis Is Showing a Gratifying
Decrease.

In certain cities, such as New York,
Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, and
in states like Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the decline in
the death rate from tuberculosis is
more marked than in the country at
large, which declined 1877 per cent in
the ten years from 1901 to 1910 The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis says
that there are many factors working
together to cause the decline in the
tuberculosis death rate, such factors
as the change in the character of our
urban population, increased santa
tion, and better housing, but probably
as potent factor as any has been the
nation wide anti-tuberculosis cam
paign. 1T may be foretold with CON
siderable certainty" the association
says, that when the effects of the
present rapidly increasing provision
for the care of tuberculosis patients
shall have become evident, the decline
in the death rate from consumption in
the coming decade will be even more
marked than that in the last one"

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE

pllshments, Woman Was Required

She was also the menu, for n she
gave a dinner Of several courses Il
was her duty 20 announce TO the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due TO appear at table A dinner Of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers OF gentle persua.
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles Of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight Of a knife in posi-
tion was the signal for the hostess TO
inquire If he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, OF course,
the mistress Of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagus flight after perfec-
ton under the wing Of a professional
carving master "She took three les
sons a week. that she might be per-
feet on her fathers public days; when,
in order to perform her functions
without Interruptions. she was forced
to eat her own dinner alone an hour
or so beforehand"

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago l had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes It would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised Inc to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has

viii Be Easier to Handle and More
Effective Than Present
Model.

London.-The British troops are to
be armed with new rifle.
Ever since its introduction in 1903
the Lee Enfield rifle, with which the
British forces are now armed, has
been the subject of fierce controversy.
The shortening of the barrel was the
point chiefly criticized, and as the rifle
has not been able to hold its own
against the longer weapon with which
the terTitorials have been equipped
the controversy has never died down.
The idea underlying the adoption OF
the short rifle was to have a weapon
which would be easily handled by both
mounted and dismounted troops. To
suit the cavalry five inches was taken
off the rifle and the reach of tbs in
fantry soldier with the bayonet was
thus shortened. Attempts have been
made to restore this lost advantage
by the issue of a longer bayonet, but
the developments OF the modern high
power cartridge have intensified the
defects of the short barrel as regards
fire efficiency. A longer barrel is
necessary for accuracy and ease,

Death Recalls an Incident That
Occurred in 1863.
Mrs. Alexander klaucke, Native Of
Carroll County, Dies in Germany
Long After Marrying Soldier Who
Appealed to Her for a Drink.

Westminster, Md.-Information has
just been received in this city Of the
death of Mrs. Alexander A. c. Kancke,
a native of this county, at her home
in Weisbaden, Germany, an event
which calls to the minds of some Of
the elderly residents of the county an
interesting romance in connection with
her marriage to Mr.. Klancke. Mrs.
Klancke's maiden name was Mary
Freeze, and she was related to some
of the leading people of this county.
In the summer of 1863 she was Wis
iting her aunt, Mrs. Joshua Smith,
mother of the late Judge John e.
Smith, on East Main street, this city,
when the Sixth corps of the United
States army passed through here on
its way to Gettysburg, Two officers
of the corps, one of whom was Mr..
Klancke, halted at the Smith residence
and asked for water to quench their
thirst, and 1t was Miss Freeze who
handed glass of water to the man
who afterward became her husband,
AS 1t was the dinner hour, Mrs. Smith
Hospitality invited the officers to dine
with her family, an invitation which
was accepted with alacrity, especial
ly by Mr.. Klancke, who had promptly
fallen in love with the pretty maiden
from whose hand he had received the
water The sequel proved that the
admiration of the officer was recipro-
Gated, and ere he resumed his march
he had won Miss Freeze Though 1t
was a case of love at first sight, the
lovers were faithful, and soon after
the close of the Civil war they were
married in Ascension Episcopal
church, this city, by Rev. Dr. James
w. Reese.
Mr.. Klancke was for a time a gov
eminent official in one of the depart.
ments at Washington, but soon after
his marriage resigned and with his
American bride sailed for his home in
Germany. 1t had then transpired that
he was a gentleman of wealth and no
BILE family, one Of his near relatives
having married a German princess
