AT WORK
FORECAST OF NAVAL WAR IN
THE COMING YEARS.
New Types of Oestroyers, When Ger.
tain Engines Are Developed, Will
Possess Powers of Hideous
Oestructiveness,

The destroyer is doomed shortly TIC
disappear, or, II you like. she will in
future be invested with the power to
dive. The types. at any rate, will be
amalgamated 1t is a matter of per-
fecting the Observation-Disclosures engine
for marine purposes, Afterward the
submarine may attain the power of
flying as well, and We shall have
ship possessing all the qualities of the
wild duck, except that OF sitting on
eggs and reproducing herself. This
forecast * made by Gerard Fiennes.
who writes of the work of the subma-
rine in the Pail Mall Magazine:
1T is the darkest hour. the hour be-
fore the dawn. The hostile fleet lies
in its harbor, behind the boom and
under the shelter Of the forts. 1t has
suffered damage in an encounter with
superior force. but is still in being
The beams of the searchlights wheel
and cross and seesaw up and down;
the guarding destroyers prowl hither
in the outer harbor OF sudden
there is rush from seward of black
hulls aud flaming tunnels No con-
cealment is attempted; il would be
useless. The attackers creep, upper
ceived, near enough to make their
rush. In an instant the scene is abaZe
with quiCk-tiring guns, hurting Shell
on friend and foe alike The assail-
ants hold on. One boat after another
sinks, but ever fresh squadrons rush
in TO the attack. A dozen 20, so boats
will be we'll lost if the attempt sue
ceeds.
The boom which protects the har
Dor mouth is made of huge baulks Of
timber, wound and wound with stout
steel hawsers. From It's low edge
hang torpedo nets. 1t would be vain
to charge it as the POlyphemus years
ago charged the boom at Portsmouth
for an experiment, and got over. 1t
must be blown up. A rending crash,
followed hy another proclaims the
failure of the trusted defense The
boom is i'm splinters; the destroyers
which wrecked it actually make their
way TO safety amid the smoke and
confusion caused by the explosions.
Now the fast-breaking dawn discloses
a number of slim poles cutting the sur
face of the water. Again the crash OF
the fire breaks out. II is futile, but
the nerves OF tine gunners will not
stand inaction. The defending de-
stroyers charge the submarines, try
ing to knock away their periscopes
and to explode mines close to their
hulls. Here and there they succeed.
A whalelike snOut is thrown out OF
the water and sinks again forever.
There is a whirr of wings overhead.
The aeroplanes are up. Soon foun-
tains OF water are spouting from
where their dropped bombs explode.
But above all the din there arises
duh, muffled roar-a second. third.
Some Of the battleships are hit. One
torpedo which missed its mark de-
stroys the caisson OF tie dock in which
the flagship Is lying for repairs. Worst
of all, the fleet has lost it's sense OF
security. 1t must go out and fight at
any cost. What the fireships were
designed to do in the old wars. and

plish, at least, if she justifies the
hopes of those who believe in her

Cine Was Enough.

Robert Bridges, the new poet laur-
cate, is fastidious critic, and hence
sees little to admire in the common
place verse of Alfred Noyes.
Noyes once brought to Mr. Bridges
two very long odes that he proposed
to submit to the English Review.
TIL read them both aloud" the
young man said. and afterwards you
will tell me which Is In your opinion
the more likely to be accepted by the
English Review.
Poor Mr.. Bridges sighed and set
tied himself in his chair. and Noyes,
in his loud harsh voice, read the first
ode 1t was very long. and at its
conclusion Mr. Bridges leaped to his
feet and said. briskly:
Now. my young friend can adj
wise you. Send the other ode TO the
Review

STRICT ENGLISH COURT RULE
Queen, Shocked at Laxity in Society,

TORTOISE SETS CHURCH AFIRE

The average fire IN church edifices

fire originates In any other manner.
But now from the west, which ever

ling and well authenticated report that
a harmless and unassuming tortoise
has set fire to st. Marks church, Den

fagration was all but averted. Wheth-
er the recent missionary convention
and the influx Of ecclesiastical digni.
taries into Denver excited his tortoise

FARM ON SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Enormous Strides Have Been Taken
by Agricultural Industry In
the Last Century.

Despite the assertions that farming
has not advanced and kept pace with
5he improvements in other lines OF
activity. the fact remains that in no
industry have there been such revolu-
;ionary changes as In agriculture.
From a hit-or-miss, makeshift occu-
patton in which at best the farmer
made bare subsistence and hung on
until he could secure something bet
ter or else remained stolidly and in
differently plodding along the road his
father travelled, farming has become
a highly organized and commercial
ized business. based on the applica-
ton Of scientific principles.
1t is TO the. great farm sections o.
the northwest that We must look for
the best example Of commercialiZed
farming. Farming in the Dakotas,
Montana and Idaho is being conduct
ed on a large commercial scale and i.
is not uncommon to see farm Of 2
thousand acres being plowed and
planted in one season by modern,
scientific methods.
Great traction engines capable OF
plowing 40 acres day are employed
to make commercial farming easy and
lucrative. Machinery does the seed
ing and the planting and machinery
reaps the harvest Modern scientific
methods have smoothed the way OF
the pioneer without taking away from
him any of the rewards that go with
the breaking and exploitation Of a
new country:
The development of raw land into
orchards or grain fields or truck gar
dens is simply a matter Of mathemati-
cal calculation and wise business in
yestment. This has not been accom-.
plished without a great deal Of work
on the part Of the men who have
FOR profit, it Is true-been laborirg
fer nearly century to bring about
this highly scientific change in farm
methods.

Why Your Nose 10 Small.

Your nose may not be 30 small as to
attract undue attention, but at least
1t is not 50 large and noble as It
would have besn had you been living
in the days Of Caesar, London An
swers asserts.
The fnsignifcance Of the present
day nose is due to the Introduction
and general use Of the andkerchief.
dkerchiefs-which are very mod
ern indeed, as things go-were never
used by the Romans, and they were
less liable to colds and the still more
troublesome complaint, influenza, than
we are now. AS q result, they were
possessed Of the largest and very best
shaped noses possible.
When civilization. which started in
Rome. spread to the northern coun-
tries Of Europe the inhabitants OF
these changeable climates found they
had continually to rub their noses,
and thus they fell below the Roman
standard.

somewha far fetched, but il ) a well
Known psychological fact that any
part Of the body which is continually

A Progressive"

A sentence which ran across in a
county newspaper the other day ap-
pealed to US as strongly as any sem
tence we have read lately. Il am a
believer in progressive ideas" wrote
a correspondent of this county paper,
If it doesn't cost anything" There
tits, in a NUTSHELL" as he said, the
reason why so many people are dead
set" against ary movement for the
advancement of their neighborhood,
and why they become mere obstacles
in the path of progress. They do
not mind the progress, but they want
it without paying for it. So, of
course, they don't get it. The world
doesn't work that way. Progress,
like every other good thing, costs
something-both in money and in
effort. The man who is too stingy
to pay his share or too lazy to do his
part isn't going to help bit in any
good work and it is sheer impudence
for such person to call himself pro-
gressive. e.-We Progressive Farmer.

How Editors Get Rich.

After a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured how so
many country editors get rich. Here
is the secret of their success. There
is child born in the neighborhood.
The attending physician gets $40.
The editor gives the loud-lunged
youngster a great send-off and gets
so. It is christened and the minister
gets SIS and the editor gets 500. 1t
grows and marries. The editor pub
fishes another long-winded fiowery
article and tells dozen lies about
the beautiful and accomplished
BRIDE" The minister gets $40 and
piece of cake. The editor gets 5000
and request to carry the groom's
subscription account another year.
In the course of time she dies. The
doctor gets from SIS to $100, the
minister gets from S5 to 500, the
editor publishes a notice of death
and an obituary two columns long,
lodge resolutions, a lot of poetry
and a card of thanks and gets so, 900.
No wonder so many country editors
get rich. h.-Erchange.
