The Battleship's Underwear.

Beneath its rigid coat OF mail the mod
ern battleShip wears, curiously enough,
undergarmentS made of material that is
derived chiefly from the cocoanut.
The necessity for the battleship'S un-
dergarments proceeds from the fact that
the fighting machine is really very del
icate thing. In order that certain por-
tionS may not become too cold and others
become TOO warm, the vital parts Of its
anatomy must be clothed with special
coverings. The dreadnoughts are en-
veloped from stem 10 stern in suit Of
underwear 10 protect them from water
and from fire. II ii were not so, a shot
that pierced the side Of the vessel would
Immediately cause the entrance OF water
and the destruction of the ship.
The actual constitution OF this protec-
tive underwear is matter Of great Sc
crecy. For the most part, however, it
is made of CeIlulose, which is obtained
from the fbrous rind of the cocoanut.
Cellulose possesses the peculiar proper
ty OF swelling when brought into contact
with salt water. II follows, therefore,
that the moment water pours in at hole
in ships side the celluIose expands and
closes the aperture. The cellulose must
be treated, OF course, in order that it may
be made fireproof.
1t is also necessary to cIothe the boil
ers and steam pipes with Jackets" " in
order TO prevent the waste OF fuel.
Sometimes these are made OF ordinary
"blanketing," sometimes OF fibrous
clay-like composition, or sometimes OF a
close grained wood. Still oftener the
material is mineral wool. However, a
great battleship is more likely to suffer
from the effects Of heat than OF cold.
There is always the danger that the pow
der magazines may become oyerheated.
In the latest types Of fighting ships a
thick coating of mineral wool surrounds
the stores. That wool gets its name
from slight resemblance TO real wool;
it is simply mass of snowy threads OF q
sort of glass; il is made by blowing jets
of high-pressure steam through the
streams OF liquid Stag that flow from the
furnaces in iron and steel mills.
Great quantities OF this queer wool are
need on battleships. The substance pro-
tects equally well from heat and from cold.
II is such an extraordinary nonconductor
of heat that il covers the refrigerators and
cold storage chambers, as well as the ex-
plosive stores. In the dockyards the
worknen who pack mineral wool in the
proper places on ships have TO wear
masks, in order that they may not inhale
the sharp -needle-like particles, which
would seriously iniure the delicate tissue
Of the throat and lungs.

Pain In The Feet.

We do not realize now constantly we
use Our feet until something happens 10
interfere with their junction When that
occurs. we are likely TO suffer good
deal OF pain, and still more inconvenience,
and even 10 find our general health seri-
ously affected by our inability to walk
for walking is the most valuable and
necessary OF all forms Of exercise.
In many cases the pain in the feet is
owing to the presence OF corns. bunions,
or chilblains. Blu, there are more obscure
affections that cause pain in walking.
Two OF the most common are flatfoot,
and the opposite condition-an overhigh
arch. The latter is really partial club
foot, although those who have II like 10
regard il as a mark OF aris. .ocratic blood.
When the arch is too high, The weight
Of the body is not properly distributed,
but falls on the heel and the ball OF the
foot. The pain is especially severe in
the bali oi the foot In flatfoot the pain
is most severe in the early stages, when
the fbrous sheet that stretches between
the ball OF the foot and the heel has TO do
all the work Of keeping the foot in shape,
since the. ligamentS that are meant to
support the arch are already weakened
and elongated. Alter this fibrous struc-
ture-the plantar faScia II is called-has
yielded, and the flatfoot is fully establish
ed, the pain is much less acute.
The fibrous structures are sometimes
painful, even when the arch OF the foot
is neither too high nor too low, owing TO
a so-called gouty or rheumatic condition.
Physicians are still uncertain just what
this condition really is, but il can usually
be cured in its early stages if the patient
has perseverance. There are certain
neuraIgic conditions-one is known as
"Mortou's painful toe"-that are often as
difficult TO cure as neuralgia elsewhere.
When both heels are painful, il usually
means either that flatfoot is beginning, or
that the rheumatic or equity tendency is
declaring itself. When only one heel is
affected, the cause is usually buise or
strain. As soon as tine doctor discovers
the source of the trouble he must try to
remove it, and the patient can often help
him.

ForecIosing Opportunity.

AS usual when old acquaintance meet
after long interval, the talk soon turned
to companions OF other days; and on that
score we compared notes. This one had
grown rich and famous. That one had
flourshed notably. This one held a tip
top position-married, three children, a
success. That one was doing well. Soin
running over more than score OF names
and a score of years if seemed that For
tune had been very kind to the particular
bunch OF cubs we were discussing.
Two, if is true, had died OF natural
causes. One had committed suicide.
Another-well, he was just keeping along,
with his head slightly above water, but
mostly submerged. And OF the suicide
and the failure there was but one explain
ation-drink.
1t is not good to lie about drink, and
like everything else in the world drink
ing is comparative. Some mems consti-
tutions will Withstand an appalling guam
tity OF alchohol. Some men can drink
pretty hard and pretty steadily and yet
succeed. Many men can drink moder-
ately without running themselves.
Ii is true, however, that drink is great
handicap. Whoever drinks habitually
undertakes to win in stiff race with a
hundred pound weight strapped TO his
back. Possibly he can do it; but that IS
poor condition for racing. To drink is
to erect barrier TO opportunity-to set
up hurdles for yourself to jump.
Liquor greases the ways for all other
vices. The experienced employer hard
ems his heart against the young man
whose breath smells OF whiskey-not be-
cause he is sentimental, or even moral,
but because he does not want handicap
ped men on his force saturday Evening

Saloon Men Responsible for Drunkards. ards

SdiOOH NlCH NcSpOHSiDie lot UIunhdTuS.
In upholding the Nebraska law, which
fixes the responsibility upon Saloonkeep-
ers for the making of drunkardS, the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
pointed out a way TO all States to impose
effective restrictions upon drunkenness.
The court did not discuss the law at
all, but merely dismissed the appeal for
lack OF jurisdiction, holding that no fed
eral question was involved. This was
equivalent TO declaration that the State
of Nebraska was we'll within its rights in
passing such law, and no other author
ity exists to interfere with the enforce
ment OF the law.
Under the State law the wife of a
drunkard had obtained averdict OF $6, 1000
against the Saloonkeeper who sold her
husband liquor. The case was brought
TO the Supreme Court by the liquor in
terests rather than by the saloonkeeper,
because if was recognized that were this
decision TO stand the sale OF liquor would
be regarded as a decidedly hazardous
business in Nebraska, and that the remedy
adopted by that State TO prevent drunk
enness might be adopted by others.
Accordingly the liquor interests ap-
pealed 10 the Supreme Court and the case
was ably argued by both sides. The
contention OF those representing NebraS-
ka was that no federal question was in
volved, and that the State had right TO
pass and enforce any law it pleased re-
spectIng the liquor traffic.
For the liquor interests il was held that
the question was one affecting constitu-
tional rights, and that these rights, under
the Nebraska law, were taken away from
the saloorkeeper who was called upon
to pay $1,000 TO the wife of man who
has become a habitual drunkard Of his
own volltion.
The court swept aside all the argu-
ments of the liquor interests and held
with the attorneys for the State that no
federal question was involved. There
fore there was nothing for the Supreme
Court TO decide, the law being purely a
State law and within the power OF the
State TO make.
The ruling ard the law itself are the
first direct recognition by the courts and
lawmaking power in the United States
of the responsibility of the sellers OF
liquor for the awful effects Of the traffic
they are engaged in.
Heretofore the general view has been
that the drunkard is solely responsible
for his degradation. Nebraska has said
that the saloonkeeper is responsible, and
the courts of the State have upheld the
law.
Now the Supreme Court of the United
States, without expressing any opinion
of the merits of the law, declares in effect
that If is a law the State had a right TO
pass for the protection Of the public, and
that its enforcement leaves the saloon
keeper with no appeal.

The Last Passenger Pigeon.

In 1857 a committee Of the Ohio senate,
in opposing bill to protect the passen-
ger pigeon, said: Wonderfully prolific,
having the vast forests OF the north as its
breeding grounds, travelling hundreds OF
miles in search of food, il is here today,
and elsewhere tomorrow, and no ordinary
destruction can lessen its numbers, or
materially reduce the myriads that are
yearly produced"
Today the last living passenger pigeon
is in the Cincinnati Geological Gardens.
II is the only surviving descendant, ac-
cording to the Cutters Book. OF flock OF
eight birds that were taken in 1877.
Even then the pigeons were plentiful.
but in the years that followed, they were
mercilessly destroyed by gun and trap,
and their numbers decreased rapidly.
Suddenly the determination was COM
plete. For years bird-loveS have sought
for few survivors with which to per-
petuate the species. but not one has been
found.
To realize how enormous the destruc-
ton has been-greater even than that
which wiped the buffalo from the plains
il is only necessary to read accounts OF
the immense floeks that once literally
darkened the skies.
Audubon noticed flight that was con-
tinuous for three days; the birds, accord
ing TO his calculation, were al least ,ll4,-
000, 600 in number
"ln Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana"
writes a naturalist who witnessed the
flights, their breeding places were gen.
orally in the backwoods, and often ex-
tended in nearly straight line across the
country for a great way. Not lar from
Shelbyville, Kentucky. there was one
several miles in breadth. and forty miles
in length. In this tract almost every tree
was furnished With nests, wherever the
branches would accommodate them. On
a single tree one hundred nests were
sometimes found. II was dangerous 10
walk under these flying and fluitering
millions, for large branches frequently
fell, broken down by the weight oi the
multitude upon them. The ground was
strewn with broken limbs OF trees, eggs,
and young pigeons, that had fallen from
above, on which herds Of hog were tat
tening. Hawks, buzzards, and eagles
sailed about in great numbers, and seized
the squads from the nests at pleasure.
From twenty feet upward 10 the tops OF
the trees, the view through the woods
presented perpetual tumult OF crowding
and ilutering multtudes Of pigeons.
The beating Of their wings make sound
like thunder"
