Naval Code Books.

On every ship in the American navy
the commanding officer and the second
in command are each furnished witt
a copy of the secret naval code Of the
government. These books are bound
not as ordinary books, in cloth covers
but in heavy metal backs. The object
Is to prevent them from falling in the
hands OF the enemy. for their weight is
so great that. when thrown into The
water they sink Immediately. where

These officers are commanded first
of all things to throw these book over
board before surrendering their yes

enemy getting aboard. The capture oil
one OF these books, it is considered by
the naval authorities, would be more
disastrous in time of war than the
loss of a battlaship.

his sermon, he noticed an unusual
commotion among the choir. at his
right For a time he tried to ignore
it, but the trouble became so lively

singers in loud voice. The disturb

member of the choir managed to COM

oriain Of Gibraltar.

The tar" in Gibraltar is a con,
traction OF Taric or Tariff. the name OF
a famous pirate of medieval times
The whole word may be translated as
mountain or cliff of Taric." This same
root tar" occurs in the word tariff. -
which has such familiar sound to
most or us now. Taric after a time
came to levy tax or tariff on passing
vessels instead Of robblng them out
right. In this way our word tariff
had its origin. 1t is interesting to note
also that this robber was further hon

near Gibraltar. named for him.

OWES HIS LIFE TO MEASLES
Given Up to Die Has the Laugh
on the Doctors.

II the doctors have given you up
to die of tuberculosis, don't do 1t, but
go and get dose of the measles, and
when you have recovered from the
combination you will not have any
tuberculosis, and will be as likely to
outlive the doctor as he will be to
outlive you. This may seem like a
peculiar remedy, but man named
Trotter, who was given up to die by
his physician, has outliyed the doctor.
Trctter was of a jolly disposition,
and kept on his feet and out of doors
large part of his time, but 1t finally
became only question of days, and
was so recognized by the sick man
and all his friends. About this time
an epidemic OF measles broke out in
the neighborhood. and as Trotter had
never had the disease the doctor ad-
vised him to leave the locality, as to
contract it would surely kill him.
Trotter replied: We'll. Doc, you say
Use gwine to die anyhow; reckon
I'll jes stay to hum with the ole wo-
man an die with good taste In my
mouth" He got the measles and had
1t from the crown Of his head to the
soles of his feet The disease re-
mained with him as long proportion
ately as he was physically Che was
six feet and four inches talD, but
despite the doctors prognosis he got
well and when he was well of the
measles he was well of the tubercu-
losls, and though the doctor told him
one lung was gone and half of the
other one. he persisted in remaining a
well man, and outlived the doctor and
nearly all his neighbors. 1t would be
heroic remedy for man given up
to die to seek. but Trotter's philos-
opliy proved to have better founda-
tion than that of the doctor who had
done all that his education and ex.
perience enabled MIN to do.

invention.

The great fault of the early subma'
rines was that they could not see once
they were below the surface of the
water. The invention of the periscope
altered all that, and gave the modern
submarine a marvellous eye by means
of which it could see over the surface
of the ocean, though the body of the
submarine is completely below the
waves.
The eye of the submarine is a
straight, hollow tube starting from the
steering chamber of the vessel. and
projecting above the surface of the
waves when the boat is submerged.
AS the periscope is only matter OF
six inches in diameter, and only pro
jects some Is inches above the waves,
1t is most difficult thing for an enemy
to see. Its total length is about Ii
feet.
The submarines eye is really com

once. Indeed, before we had been
long in this hotel room he informed
me that great experiences lay before
me; that he had prospered much in
