WARSHIP DESIGNS
Work Involved In the Planning of
 a DTeadnought.
A TASK OF MANY PROBLEMS.

The menstsr AFmsr0d Naval Battery
 Must So Steady In Heavy Sea, EIsS
 She Ls Not a Good Gun Platform.
 Wonderful Accuracy In Results.
 Talk Of a Chinese puzzle. It is noth. ing to the problem set before a naval designer who has to build battleShlp.
 Here he has a steel structure of such and such s length and breadth and depth, and into this space. which Is controlled by hard and fast measure ments, be has to it so much coal, so much armament. room for so much am munItion, quarters for so many men, space for engines of a certain power and also allow for an immense weight of Rrmor.
 Take the original Dreadnought, for instance. The task which was given to Sir Philip Watts was to plan battle ship capable of stcaming 4,oOO miles at 21 knots, with room for 800 officers and men and able to carry ten twelTe-inch guns with eighty rounds of ammuni tion for each.
 She had also to be enormously, heav- tly armorpd This armOr alone when the sum was worked out was found t6 weigh nearly 10000 tons and the neces. sary coal 10 weigh 2,500 tons The guns and thcir mountings weighed l,GOO tons, their amlpmitlon 45O tons,
 When you add to this that the boil CTS and marhiRery of the drst Dread nought wpre calculated to weigh not less than l.2O toEs the render may be gin to get some fain, idea of the difh' culties before the designer.
 We have not even mentioned the smaller but quite important details such as boats some of them large steam launches sixty feet long-an, chors and cables ef gigantic size and weight. torPedoeS. etc.
 To be a good naval designer | man must be far more tARa a mere naval architect. He must have the most ex- tensire Knowledge Of all sorts of craft and be blessed with large share or in,aCination into the bargain.

CHILDREN CUT OFF BY TIDE
Thirty Youngsters Rescued on the Coast of England After Trying
 Experience.

London.-More than 30 children, whose ages ranged from five to ten years. were trapped by the tide while playing on some rocks at New Brigh- ton and narrowly escaped drowning. They were rescued with considerable difficulty by men who were at one time up to their shoulders in water
 The children were members of a party of little slum dwellers from Liverpool who were enjoying a day at the seaside
 They were playing in the vicinity of the Perch Rock Battery and failed to notice the incoming tide They were quickly surrounded by the sea, and their position was one of peril. Some of them succeeded in reaching the shore without assistance, but the majority were panic-stricken, and their screams attracted a large crowd of people.
 Four shore horsemen and w H. s. Oulton, revising barrister for Liver pool, went pluckily to the rescue and brought the children to the shore in pairs.
 Their work was rendered exception ally difficult in consequence of the treacherous nature of the rocks, which were covered with slippery moss. Sev- eral times they slipped and grazed their legs, but the children escaped injury.
 One of the rescuers missed his foot ing and fell into deep hole, but was pulled out by another man.
 The work of the rescue lasted half an hour, and by the time the last of the children was brought ashore the water was up to the shoulders of the men and foot or two above the rocks
 MT. Oulton, who rescued 15 chil- dren, stated in an interview that great difficulty was experienced, and the children repeatedly shouted, Shall we be saved?"
 T fell several times" he added, "but saved the children was car rying from injury" One of the horsemen George Clarke. who brought 12 children ashore, said he never thought 1t possible that all could be rescued before the tide washed them off the rocks.

London.-Although much has been written upon the political significance of the great Bagdad railway, little or nothing has been said about those old historical or sacred cities it will be the means of linking up with Europe by an iron road. Indeed, within the next two years one ought to be able to journey from any of the great raii- way centers of Europe, such as Paris Berlin, or Vienna, to Damascus, the
 oldest city in the world, by rail over the Bagdad line, and also to the sa- cred cities of Palestine, to say nothing of taking a peep at the l1uphrates val

Everybody knows how that boy, after he had be- come a man and a priest, broke with the old church and began the great dividing movement in Christian the ology known as the Protestant Refor- nation. He was Martin Luther.

Iudpe Lankford Not a Can-
 didate

Judge Eugene Lanktord mas just issued the following state- ment which tells why he is not going to be a candidate for Con- gress as had been much talked of.
 I think I should give my friends and the people of my dls- trict my reasons for not making the race for Congress at thls time, in view of the many soll- citations and the scores of letters that I received from friends ten dering me their support in the race.
 I assure you I appreciate your friendship more than 1 would the office.
 As many of you know, pre- ferred all along to wait till next time, two years from now, to make the race, but many of my friends insisted that now is the time" and was led to believe that would have time between courts to make the campaign and they still assure me that ! can win in this "three-cornered race" if l will take the time to canvass the district.
 But after q due consideration of the matter l do not believe l shall have time 10 make the campaign in the short time we have. without neglecting my official duties, and that l will not do. The fact that others do it." does not satisfy my con- science.
 1 think an officer should first comply with the contract he makes with the people when they elect him, and prove faithful to his dnty in the office he has, before he asks the people for other favors.
 My life's ambition is to serve you in Congress. but I'd rather have your respect and confidence and the consciousness of doing my duty, and be a private citizen, than to be president and be with out these.

ACID FRUITS AND STOMACH
 ACIDITY.

A reader who has the impret sion that one who secretes too much acid in the stomach Is es- pecially injured by the use of acid fruits because these fruits cause or increase the acid con. dition, is in error. The sugges ton has frequently been gven that persons who secrete an cx cess of acid should not ent much acid fruit, especially nut' apples, acid prunes, peaches or strawberries. But this is be. cause there is already an ex- cess of acid in the stomach and the additional acid causes irrl- tation. But as this abnormal condition is overcome, which 1t can be by proper diet, exercise, and right mental condition, acid fruits may be taken In such cases. Lemons and apples are especially beneficial In most cases, and should not be entire ly avoided unless buttermifk IS taken, even where there Is an excessive secretion of acid---un. less it be temporary.
