Workmen for a long time have been

Modern War Fireworks.

The most elaborate fireworks In the
world are those reserved for use in
time of war. The possibilities of sig
mailing for long distances and of IL
Illuminating the enemy's position by
night have been carefully studied and
fireworks of unprecedented size and
brilliancy have been constructed.
Let another great war be fought and
the fireworks display would completely
eclipse our most elaborate Fourth Of
July celebrations. One of the most
beautiful of these fireworks is the star
shell. BY means OF large rocket ar
rangement these stars are sent to
great attitudes, and on bursting throw
a powerful white light over consid-
cradle radius.
The war rockets are the largest ever
constructed, measuring eight feet or
more in length. On exploding at great
attitudes combinations of colored stars
are set free which will signal widely
scattered troops.

The Secret.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is known to
give the most sumptuous and the
most beautiful dinners in the world
She is also known as the possessor OF
a trenchant wit.
1t is said of Mrs. Fish that the re-
markable success of a rich but ill-fa-
vored New York girls marriage with
a spendthrift nobleman was recently
discussed in her presence. No one
could understand the happiness OF
this marriage, which had seemed to
bode so ill. But Mrs. Fish shrugged
and said:

until generation or so ago, wendell
slowly, inexpressibly slowly, the vast
traffic that had gradually sprung up
between the south and the north of
Europe. Hardly fifty years have
elapsed since the advent of the rail-
ways wrought extraordinary changes.
To thousands of hitherto well-tO-do
natives the iron horse brought abject
ruin, for 1t revolutionized commerce
as we'll as travel Scores of thriving
little posting towns that had sprung
up in the course of centuries along the
great transcontinental Bremen high
way were, with the suddenness of a
bolt from the blue, struck lifeless.
These places, at which the so-called
"Schnellzuge" Of today do not even
deign to halt for a brief minute, and
of which we see but little from the
train, consisted, as a rule, of single
long street, in which practically every
house was either an inn or existed by
virtue of the road traffic. And now,
after half century's neglect and star
walton, a kindly fate has at last come
to the rescue of these old posting
towns in the shape of an annual inva-
sion of summer guests in search Of the
simple life. There they spend their
six or eight weeks vacation, their
modest requirements being supplied
in these roomy old hostelries on cheap
terms. What the railway in its early
days had ruined it now has tardily
compensated.
