REVIVAL OF THE SAILING SHIP

From the Scientific American.
 The development of the heavy oil engine bids fair to bring about a revival of the big square-rigged sailing ship. The latest of this type is a truly magnificent vessel the France, launched blythe chantiers de la Gironde at Bordeaux. She is 43D feet long, 55 2-S feet beam and draws 2i feet when loaded to d displacement of 10,650 tons. Her auxiliaries consist of twin Schneider-Carels oil engines of 925 horse power, which drive the ship at a speed of l0la knots, the fuel consumption on the brake test being 0.45 pounds per brake horsepower per hour. Ther lines are finer than those of the ordinary tramp steamer, and under sail alone she should be cap able in a whole sail breeze of making io knots

Coffins and Candidates

"The other day man stopped me on the street and inquired how many cof- fins l had in stock,' said a local under taker T was rather surprised at the question, as the man who, asked the question Is prominent in business cir cles l gave him the number, however, which called forth the statement that had not half enough
 'I asked the reasons for his assertion as l thought l knew more about my business than he did He replied by stating thAt Monday was election day, and that some 100 or more candidates were in the field, of which only a few could be elected There will be dead ones a plenty on Tuesday morning. he said, for there is nothing deader than a defeated candidate, and, of course, they will have to be interred.'
 T gave it as my opinion that some of the candidates would be buried so deep under the ballots that further in- terment would be unnecessary, and, therefore, an extra supply of coffins was not needed"

WA foTHING succeeds like success"
 M is popular epigram and it
 is well illustrated in the lives Of many great men in the misfortlnes and humiliation that have followed un- preventable failure If a great soldier wins he receives the plaudits of the world and equally the condemnation if he loses, and not infrequently circum- stances initiated against his chances to win. This is illustrated in the career of Admiral Byng, of the English navy.
 Byng was esteemed by the British na- ton as an especially able Seaman and as brave man, but he was ruined by partisan animosty. He was executed in I'of Tor his failure in his attempt to re- lleVe Monorca two years before, but af- ter party fury had subsded and his con duet had been dispassionately examined, his intentions were allowed to have been good, his courage indisputable, and his death the consequences of rahcorous mis- representation from personal dislike.
 on the first news of Byngs failure in the Mediterranean he was hurriedlv re- called by the ministry He reached Eng land and was placed on trial in Novem- Der, 1756, by courtmartial. This tria, was continued until the following June, when he was convicted of criminal neg feet. Lord Anson had appointed Byng to the position as admiral of the fleet in the Mediterranean and, although he was equally responsible with him in the failure, there is nothing to show that Anson did not fully agree with the find Ing of the court and the justice of the sentence.
 Before leaving Eigand Byng showed that the force he was taking out was inadequate for the service required of him, but his objections were overrl1lea and he was assured that when he was Joined by the ships already in the Medit crranean he would have a force at his disposal equal, if not superior, to that of the enemy. He also complained that ms ships were badly manned and were short of complement.
 But in spite of the representa- lions Byng made to his government he was compelled to follow orders. and because he failed, he lost his life The nourt martial of Byng was the most celebrated ever held in England It brought out stormy debates and discussions in the British House of Commons When inc

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Misleading Lady"

An unusual and unique comedy
drama, 1.-THE Misleading Lady," was
presented to a good-sized audience
Tuesday evening at the Opera house
and was we'll received because of it's
fine staging and the fine manner in
which the various parts were taken.
The play is filled with amusement
from beginning to end and has in
reality very cleverly worked out
plot.
In the first act, the heroine, sell
fish female, plays an insulting trick
upon the hero by making him propose
to her in order to persuade a theatri-
cal manager who Is on a house party
that she is capable of taking the lead
ing part in a flay which he is about
to produce. The victim turns the
tables, however. by abducting her and
carrying her off In his automobile to
his shooting lodge in the Adirondacks,
200 miles away. There he chains her
and the process of tanning her takes
place. Her eould-be reseuers and an
escaped lunatic make many compLca-
lions. The heroine escapes, but finally
returns to the lodge and announces
that she does not want to be rescued.
The part of Miss Helen Steele, the
heroine. was taken in charming
manner by Miss Tvelyn Watson, and
as Jack Craigen, the man who In a
primative manner captures his future
wife, Beresford Lovett. made hit.
The other characters were portrayed
in an equally fine manner and the
play as whole kept the interest of
the audience at high pitch.
