were the Krishima. on December !. and

similar to the kongo. built at Vlckers, SO

Matrimonial
Advertisements
Cause Divorce
{ Special Dispatch.)

PARIS, Jan. 81.
IT HE story of a curious intrigue con-
Quoted through the medium OF the
matrimonial advertisement columns OF
n French newspaper has just been
related in the Seine Divorce Court.
!. The parties concerned were a Partisan
painter and his wife. a woman who had
already been divorced from her first hus-
band, an examining magistrate in the
provinces
For some time past the painter suspected
that his wife had been studying the matri-
monial. or pseudo matrimonial, advertise
ments in an endeavor to start some ro-
mantle intrigue To obtain proof of his
suspicious was a matter of some diff
Guilty, but the painter finally inserted a
neat little advertisement in his wife's
favorite paper to this Effect
Retired project, a ged forty-fve tall and
fair. with fortune OF 800. O00f., would like
to find sister soul"
The bait, either of the 300, oO0f. (sGO, 900 or
OF the sister soul, was n successful one, for
Madame, though very confused ut reply
ing to Il question of this sort" wrote a
long answer In which she pathetically de-
mandcd Can you indeed be the sweet
heart of my dreams for whom 1 have
looked so long," She also suggested some
what disingenuously that her fortune was
large one and that her heart and hand
were at liberty.
Various other letters were exchanged
and finally the wife, all unsuspectlngly
yielded TO the ardent unknown's desire
and enclosed her photograph. The letter
which accompanied this was confiding
and could only be reproduced in Bowd-
leriZed form.
When the painter had thus acquired
sufficient evidence he served his wife
with a writ. and she instituted counter
petition. Though her counsel pleaded
"provocation to adultery" the various let.
tiers produced were considered irrefutable
and the painter obtained the deere.

r HE total value OF the minerals raised
in the United Kingdom during 1912
was 131,22o,853, an increase OF
s6,641,640 as compared with 1911,
according to Part III. Of the annual Cen
eral Report on Mines and Quarries, which
has just been published.
This increase is mainly accounted for
by the increased value of coal. The total
output of coal was $50, JACOBS tons, and
the value f117.921.123. showing a de-
crease In output Of 11.475,561 tons, but an
increase in value of G7.137,441 on the fig
ures for 1911. The average price of coal
was 9s. 0.6Sd. a ton in 1912, as compared
with 8s. led in 1911.

explained by the circumstances that this
vessel is building at Poa, where facilities
for the construction of a dreadnought
have not yet been fully developed or the
twenty-five vessels ten were launched dur
ing the last quarter of the year and eight
went afloat from British yards.
The dreadnoughts launched for Great
October 16; the Benbow. on November IL;
tho Warspite. on November &c; the En-
peror of India, lately the Delhi, on Noyem-
Der ~ and the Tiger, battle cruiser, on De-
cember 10. The Queen Elizabeth and the
Warspite are OF the all oil burning type.
and should also be the first completed ves-
sells to carry 15-inch guns. The other
three have been delayed in construction
by labor troubles in the private yards.
The German dreadnoughts are the K6nig.
Launched on March /; the Grosser Kur-
first on May s.; the Markgraf, on June 4
the Derfflinger. on July 1. and the Luet-
zow, on November 20. The two last named
are battle cruisers.
Brittle Cruisers Compared.
The first four of these vessels are OF the
1911 programme but the Luetzow, like the
Queen Eliza beth and her sister, belongs
| to the programme of 1912 If, however, the
1 German battle cruiser is compared with
the British Tiger, OF earlier pro-
gramme, 1t will be found that the differ

the Tiger having IN fact tho more for
midable armament. Both vessels burn oil
and coal. both are to have speed of 9s.E
knots; but while the Luetzow has eight
Pinch and fourteen 8-inch guns. the Tiger
will carry eight 1s.5-inch and twelve 6-inci
guns.
