BattIeships Indiana and Massachusetts as Targets

setts and Indiana were built at
Cramps shipyard and we're launched
in 1898. Their main armament con-
sists of four 13-inch guns and eight g.
inch guns and their speed was about
16 knots an hour. Each vessel cost
$3,063,333
Modern battleships have a speed of
21 knots, a displacement Of 27,500
tons, and their armament consists of
ten 14-inch guns, each so feet long;
twenty 5-inch guns and other smaller
weapons. The new vessels can place
a shot accurately far beyond the guns
of the batteries of the Indiana and
Massachusetts.
"The best use the government could
make Of the Massachusetts, and the In
diana is I'd take them out to Chesa-
peake bay and use them as targets for
our modern long-distance guns" de-
clares Capt. Grant of the Philadelphia
navy yard, where the two old vessels
are quartered. "They are slow in
speed, and way behind the standards
Of modern war vessels in every re-
spect The Missouri and Alabama
will soon be as obsolete as the Massa-
chusetts and Indiana and will very
soon be consigned to the target serv-.

The yellow telegram was sub
poena addressed to A. d. Baldwin,
Cleveland, Ohio, and commanded the
person designated to appear before the
investigators forthwith. Mr.. Baldwin
was attending a class reunion at Yale
university, and the Office boy at his
Cleveland quarters had forwarded the
message to New Haven. There the
telegraph company, for want OF spe-
cific instructions. had looked up A. d.
Baldwin In the city directory and serv-
ed the telegraphic subpoena upon the
first A. D. Baldwin in sight.
There was parley with the commit
tee clerk, and explanations followed.

Columbia, Mo.-Head's Fort, a
stronghold OF the pioneer days, which

souri, and had much influence on the
building up of this part Of the state,
Is to be marked by a big granite
marker, If the efforts started by the
Columbia Chapter of the D. A. r. is
successful. Heads Fort is on the
Santa Fe trail, for which the last
legislature appropriated money for
the erection Of suitable markers at his
toric points The western half OF the
highway has been marked and monu-
ments are to be put on the eastern
half with the money appropriated.
Heads Fort is near Rocheport, on
the Missouri river, the second post
office established in Boone county.
The fort was erected in 1916 and
from that date began the settlement
of Boone cbunty. 1t was the rallying
point of all settlers for miles and
often in case of alarm when Indians
approached, the women and children
lived for days inside its walls. 1t
was also the trading center for this
part of the state.

The fertility OF the valley OF the
White Nile is renowned. British scien,
tihc surveyors report that its remark
able productiveness is due In large
part to the diligence OF earthworms,
which have been digging 1t for thou
sands OF years. Observations are
recorded showing that during the ac'
tive six months OF each year the cast
ings of the worms brought to the sur
face there amount to about 100000
pounds an acre. Spread out evenly
this would make an appreciable an

the castings Of Eve years in England
would cover the whole kingdom with
a layer OF new earth an inch thick In
the Nile valley the layer would doubt

be the case, because the proportion
OF nonarable land there is much less

LOST MASTERPIECE IS FOUND
Painting by DoIel In Philadelphia
Collection Discovered to Be Fa-
nous AlIegoricaI Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 30.-It has
just been discovered that a famous al
legorical masterpiece which has been
missing for centuries has been hidden
in Memorial Hall In this city. For
years this painting has been known
under another name.
Instead of the beautiful painting
which depicted one of the famous pic
lures of the sacred history Of Christen-
dom as created by Carlo Dolci, its
beauty, its character and significance
were so altered by daubs of paint
smeared upon it's that even the great
est art experts Of the world failed to
recognize what the picture really was
and no one knew of the existence of
the work. Listed in the noted collec-
ton as the property of the city this
painting for nine years hung upon the
walls Of the gallery as Youth and
Love" by Carlo Dolci.
In 1904 John G. Johnson, while

Physicians Puzzled by Two
School Children.
Youngsters Reverse Every Letter and
Word on Paper-Both Are Left
Handed-Rlddle Difficult of
Solution by Experts.

Cleevland.-Two true cases of so
called mirror writing" have beer
found among pupils of the public
schools by physicians engaged in TAX
ing a census Of lefthanded children
Cleveland medical men are puzzling.
Both pupils are left-handed One Us
a boy, six years old. He entered the
first grade last September.
In writing, the boy holds the pencil
in his left hand, begins at the right.
hand side of the paper and writes ev.
cry letter and word reversed
The physician who discovered him
wrote the word all" on a sheet of
paper, and the boy could not pro-
nounce it. The physician then wrote
Tia" on the sheet, reversing the let
ters so that they would show properly
only in a mirror, and the boy pro-
nounced it all" The physician
learned the boys mother also Is left
handed.
Under the direction of the physician
the teacher is gradually instructing
the boy in putting letters and words
on paper in their proper position. The
task Of teaching him to read sentences
printed from left to right is more diff
ficult.
A less complicated case is that of
girl, an eleVen-year-old pupil in the
fifth grade. She entered the public
school three years ago, having spent
some time in a parochial school. She
was left-handed, and wrote from right
to left, with words and letters re-
versed.
Under constant instruction she
learned to use her right hand in writ
ing, and at the same time was taught
to put the letters and words in proper
position, from left to right.
The physician who discovered her
case said she is able to use either
hand in writing now. When she uses
the right hand, her writing is normal.
But when she uses the left hand, the
old popularity asserts itself, words
and letters are reversed and the SEN
tence can be read only by holding 1t
up to a mirror.
1t was suggested that the cause of
this condition lies in the fact that
these pupils are unable to visualize
the images which strike the
eye.
All images, it was said, are really
seen inverted and are turned in the
proper position by an unconscious
mental process. This explanation,
physicians contend, would not explain |
the case of the girl who has learned |
TO see objects as other children see

Experts Would Dress Bddy in Much Gay Attire

FOWL fanciers and experts in the
i bureau of animal industry are seek
ing some method of cross-breeding
whereby the unattractive but useful
hen can sprout plumage as variegated
as Joseph's coat of many colors.
The activity of the experts is in
spired by the fact that an ever-increas-

stringent laws against the destruction
OF birds for their plumage, while sew
eral federal laws prohibiting the traf-
flc in such plumage already are in
effect.

OLD ROYAL HOUSE
Chateau BonnetabIe Dispenses
Hospitality to Beau Monde.
Ancient Palace Of Noble House Of La
Roehefoueauld-Doud oudeauvllle, Near
Paris, Scene Of Many Arlsto-
cratic Gatherings.

Paris.-The present generation OF
the old nobility Of the Faubourg ST.
German, with the fathers and grand
fathers, have found the most sump-
tuous hospitality of country life at
Bonnetable. the chateau presided over
by the duchess OF La Rochefoucauld'
Doudeauville, generally spoken of sim
ply as the duchess Of Doudeauville, to
distinguish her from her cousin by
marriage, the duchess of La Roche
foucauld, who was the American Mat
tie Mitchell, daughter of a United
States senator.
Bonnetable is In the Sarthe depart
ment and is easily accessible from
Paris. II was rehabilitated by the
last duke Of Doudeauville, who died
in 1908, shortly before his eighty
fourth birthday, a wonderful old man
who spent many years of his life in
the work OF reconstruction and then
in making the chateau the center OF
society life which brought together
the leaders OF the ancient nobility.
He had a large family Of children
and grandchildren and he lived to
see them all make exceptionally bril-.
liant marriages.
His eldest son, the present duke,
married Princess Louise Radziwill,
and the other sons married Princess
La Tremoille and Marchioness Col.
bert, while one of his daughters be.
came the wife of the prince Of Ligne
and the other married the duke Of
Harcourt.
The late duke was a famous am.
bassador during the time of Napoleon
ILL.,, being many years at the head of
the French embassy in London, and
he always invited the American am.
bassadors in Paris out to Bonnetable
along with the other members of the
diplomatic corps.
Otherwise few Americans were in.
cluded in his house parties. He was
a royalist Of the old school and did
not approve of Americans. When his
kinsman married Matte Mitchell the
old duke considered it terrible me
s&lliance. He said:
THE young mans father married
his housekeeper, so what could you
expect from their SOM"
But the present duke of Doudeau
Vile and his duchess have extended
their invitations to Bonnetable to a
small number of Americans, who con.
slider 1t the crowning achievement OF
society climbing" in Paris to be
asked to Join that exclusive circle.
The duchess of Doudeauville likes
Americans and frequently goes to
their houses herself.
One of her cousins, Prince Albert
