Wilson. Saturday, decided to attend
the Goth anniversary celebration of the
battle of Gettysburg on the Fourth of
July He telegraphed Gov. Tener that
he had reconsidered his previous decli-
nation and would make a brief speech
to the veterans.
The Presidents decision followed a
conference with Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania. The
President previously had taken the po-
sition in declining To do that he would
be breaking his rule established months
ago, not To leave Washington for any
speech ma king occasion while con-
gress was in session.
Mr. Palmer pointed out, however, the
importance of the Gettysburg celebra-
ton, its Nation wide significance and
particularly the spirit of sectionai
sympathy that would result from n
speech by Southern born President
at the reunion of the North and Soath.
The President had intended TO leave
Tuesday for New Hampshire. to pass
a few days with his family, but the
trip will .necessitate q encouragement
Of plans. Mr.. Wilson probably will be
in Gettysburg only few hours. and

plans probably will be announced, on

Unaccountable though slight devia-
tions in the speed of boats led an Eng
lish admiral to the supposition that the
depth of water might have something
10 do with it. He made his first series
of experiments in water which was
about As feet deep. and the second in
vestigations in water about $50 feet in
depth Varying the speed of his boat
from II to 341s knots in both series, he
has established to his satisfaction that
the depth of water plays no part IN
determining or diminishing the speed
when it is greater than fifty feet. Elk
periments made in Denmark with
torpedo of 150 tons displacement and a
maximum velocity to twenty knots
showed that twelve knots was made a I
depth of ten feet and fifteen knots
at eighteen feet. The influence of the
waters depth on boats was not per
ceptible at fifty feet.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the

1t was, however. proved that the

years as a hiding place for diamonds
stolen by returning workers from the
great Kimberly mines, whence the
leakage of precious stones at that time
