0Lb EMPHASIZES :. : .''' i0 'BE' TARGETS
Indiana Expected to be the Next to be RiddIed by the
 Atlantic Fleet.

Within a few years all of the Iirst-clays battleships that fought in the Spanish American war, with single exception, probably will have been destroyed by the shells of the great drcadnoughts of the present Atlantic fleet. The Texas, which Commander Philip caused to fight gloriously, has met her doom already in this way, and now there is we'll founded report that the battleship Indiana, which was one of Sampson first line ships at Santiago, is to be dismantled of her guns and lowed to some convenient spot where she can be used as target for the newer and mightier ships of the Arkansas, Delaware, Michi- gan, Florida and Connecticut types.
 For almost two years, off and on, the battleships of the Atlantic fleet have been firing at the hull of the old Texas until today there is little of the Texas that could be made use of as a target, and the officers in charge of the na- val target work are looking about for something tO take the place of that famous ship of 1898. And it is said that they have about de- cided that the Indiana, to build and equip which the government spent S5,9S3,37l, has been tenta- |tivrly selected as the next ship that will be offered as sacrifice to show what the gunncrs of the great Atlantic fleet can do.
 Twenty-tWo years ago the keel of ihe Indiana was laid and the newspapers printed long articles descriptive of the mighty. olfen- sive and defensive power of, the ship that was then dubbed 'the coming dueen of the seas.' Four years later the Indiana was fin ished and turned over to the gov Iernment The following April, 1896, the Indiana steamed for the first time into the harbor of New York, and went to the New York Navy Yard, where she was visited by thousands, all of whom "lOOk "d, marveled and admired the Won 'lertul floating furtress.'
 Then followed the Massacmu- srliS and the Oregon, the last named being the ship referred tu as rr:.bahly the only one which will not meet he fate of he Tex as. All America rrjoired and huasIrd of their country's pos 1 session of what was then believed to be the finest fighting trio on the sea.
 i But tn" Indiana has long since i become obsolete. and when she goes to her last anchorage tu await he bnmbardmcnt of the ships of the Atlantic fleet, she probably will go under name other than Indiana, Just as did the Texas, which was riddled under the name of San Marcos when the name of Texas had been given to the mighty superdreadnought Texas, a sister ship of the New York, two vessels which are near ing completion, and either of which is equal in battle efficiency to a dozen vessels of the old Tex as type. Indiana will undoubtedly be the name given to one of the superdreadnoughts that will be authorized during the Wilson ad- ministratiOn.
 When the Indiana is wrecked beyond use for. target purposes no one will be surprised to see the Massachusetts and the Illinois and the Iowa follow her into ob- livion via the target route. Like the Indiana. all these ships are obsolete survivors of the battle of Santiago.

Odds and Ends.

Women who declare that they
cant wear" certain colors now have
the support of famous French physi-
clan, who assures the world that per-
fumes. colors and sounds affect US diff
ferently, according to the state of our
health.
A whole system of therapeutics has
been founded on the fact. Since the
days of Pere Hue the Chinese have
enveloped smallpox patients in cloth
ing of carmine color. In Tonquin
and Australia bandages of the same
color are used on children suffering
from measles, while Spanish parents
not only put their little patients in
wrapping of this brilliant hue but
make them drink syrup of pomegran-
ates because of its color.
Red light has a good effect on sew
eral skin diseases: blue and violet
spell death to bacteria: yellow pro-
tects the eye against the injurious
elements of the spectrum. while
green Gains the nerves and encour-
ages sleep.
Put a spider and a wasp under a
colorless bell glass and they will live
in peace: give the glass tinge of
scarlet and the two insects will rush
at each other and engage in mortal
combat So perhaps the woman who
feels disagreeable in red" has
science on her side and is not merely
suffering from affection.
