Utah Divorces Decrease.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 1.-THE first
statistical report of divorces in Utah
shows that in 1910 the divorces were
1919 per cent of the marriages, and in
1911 the divorces were 1874 per cent
of the marriages.
The total marriages for 1910 were
2O73; divorces, 412 Marriages in 1911
aggregated 2,131 and divorces 394.
Divorces granted TO wives in 1911
were nearly five times as great as those
granted to husbands.
Nonsupport, cruelty and desertion
were the greatest causes Of divorce.
Two husbands secured divorces on the
grounds of bigamy, but no wives were
given freedom on that charge.
In both years but three divorces were
granted on grounds of intidelity.

LOND0N'S UNNAMED STREETS.
Large Proportion of Thoreughfares
Are Without Signs,

London. the city of distances, is I'M
to the action or inaction of its numer-
GUS local authorities in regard to the
placing of street signs Where these
do exist no attempt is made at uni
formity, with the result that many OF
the varieties of color schemes and let
tering employed are practically llleg-
ible. while the signs are frequently
conspicuous by their absence. This is
true not only of residential districts,
but of many squares which are so alike
one another that distinguishing mark
is essential. Many of the most impor-
tant thoroughfares are equally neglect
ed. Even if only for the sake of the
tens of thousands of foreign and pro-
vincial visitors this condition OF ar
fairs should not be tolerated, but the
average Londoner knows so relatively
small portion Of the metropolis and
it's immediate environs that for his
sake also reform is essential. The city
of Westminster and the royal borough
Of Kensington set an admirable ex-
ample some years ago by the provision
of really artistic street municipalities,
which are both uniform and clearly
legible. But neither Of these authori-
ties has followed the idea to its logical
conclusion, and within their bound
aries there are still many varieties OF
signs and many streets insufiiciently
provided. Herewith. What is required
is the provision throughout London OF
a uniform design Of street nameplate
placed at every street corner. The saw
ing in time and in temper would be In
calculable.

BUSINESS KINGS.
Rulers Have Much Invested In
Money Earning Enterprises.
KAISER OWNS A BREWERY.
Financially Interested In Many othsr

ish Monarchs Are All Wealthy
Through Fortunate Deals.

Through Fortunate Deals.
The kaiser is a great business man
and cultivates the friendship of tinan-
cial leaders of his own and foreign
countries. He is said to possess very
large interest in a prominent steam
ship line and is interested in the great
enterprises connected with diamond
fields in the German colonies Of West
Africa. The forest lands which form
part of the patrimony of the crown
and other lands which comprise his
own real estate give him an income
brother rulers. He has besides stock
farm in western Prussia and Is the
principal shareholder of a municipal
brewery in Hanover. He owns a fac
tory for the manufacture of ceramics.
Gustav, king of Sweden, disposed on
his accession of all the interests which
his father, King Oscar, had In brew
cries throughout his kingdom and in
vested the money in mills and mines
and what in America we call model
tenements." He began by buying at
a low price in the poorer districts Of
Stockholm land and tumble down
houses. On these sites now appear
sumptuous houses that have raised
the value Of his own and neighboring
land 100 per cent. Gustav is also the
chief owner in a hotel built in the
mountains and run on an ideal plan,
it is said He is deeply interested in
construction work of all kinds, and
civil engineers Get especial attention
at court The landowners and the
municipal authorities of Sweden rally
to the support of the king with graft
flying unanimity whenever there Is a
royal hint making toward improve
ment.
Few monarchs have made such n
success in the handling Of their wives
l. bowers as has the present king OF
Denmark. In recurring financial in
versions and reversions Of wealth In
the royal family he has kept steadily
at work multiplying the original dot
of the queen In many of his enter
prses he has been associated with his
brother, King George of Greece, who
possesses an immense fortune, owing
to a lucky and accidental stroke OF
business which had its inception thir-
ty-five or forty years ago, when the
ports of southern Russia were closed
to the expectation of wheat. The
Greek king Immediately acquired large
interests in wheat lands in the United
States, which, managed by his repre-
sentatives, have yielded him immense
returns.
The reigning prince Of Bavaria has a
large income from the sale of beer,
and King George of England makes a
good deal with his model stock farms
at Windsor, Balmoral and Sandring-
ham, He possesses many hundred
head of cattle that have taken first
prizes at various exhibitions. - Har-

Warships' Skeleton Mast.

Washington, Sept. 17-As a result
of target practice by the navy at long
ranges and the firing at the old San
Marcos by the battleship Delaware
there is to be marked change in fu-
ture war vessels built by the United
States. This change will consist in
the abandonment of the fire control
mastS in pairs, as seen upon the latest
vessels of the navy. The present mastS,
12O feet high and from thirty to forty
feet in diameter at the base, are re-
garded now by naval experts as offer
ing altogether too large a target for
the enemy and presenting In addition
several disadvantages in actual battle.
The tests which were made with the
first skeleton mast OH the monitor Flor
ida several years ago are no longer re-
garded as conclusive, as only one
tWelve-inch projectile was fired at the
mast at that time. In reality shots
would come by the score through this
structure in actual warfare, and ord
new conditions that the mast could
not withstand the effect of this fire.
Consequently the value Of the mast is
only for the beginning of an action
AS soon as the battle is under way
it is calculated that more substantial
means of conducting the fire control
system, from behind armored stations,
for instance, must be followed out.
Ordnance experts likewise claim that
the skeleton masts as now constructed
offer a means of exploding high explo-
sive shells striking them, thereby
bringing down on the ship a rain of
hostile fire, which otherwise would not
be felt.
The present plan is for one skeleton
mast of frazier construction and lesser
size than formerly. This scheme will
be carried out on the next two battle
ships to be built, while the vessels
now carrying two skeleton masts will
have one removed and have construct
ed aboard the protected fire control sta
tons fore and aft.
