euardina shinxard Secrets.

Every ehipyard that builds for tEe navy must take great precautions that none of the secrets intrusted to its care shall leak out. Detectives watch all visitors and keep the workmen under observation also. Plainclothes officers guard every entrance, and nobody Is allowed to bring in even a small parcel unless it is first examined, for fear that it may conceal a camera At one of the big construction yards one
 man in every two dozen is thoroughly searched from head to foot each nigf-t on leaving. All the draftsrnen engaged on the drawings of a new warship arc sworn to secrecy, and the plans Ire invariably kept under lock and key when not in use.
 These precautions have brought many suspicious circumstances to light. One night when a new cruiser was about to undergo her trials two men crept aboard as che lay at an chor. They were captured and l1ant- ed over to the ~olice. Shortly after ward, on the day of her trial, the chief engineer thought it would be advisable to have another look at the interior f the turbines before steaming, to make certain that no rubbish had got inside 10 injure the delicate turbine blades. But worse than rubbish was found. When the turbines were opened two heavy steel chisels were discovered inside. If the machinery had been started the damage would have taken months to repair-4Northern Weekly Gazette.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Tom More and Alice Joyce in Their
 Greatest Two Reel Success

That the Alice Joyce series has hit the bulls-eye of popular favor Is ap- parent for the demand for the sub Jects embraced in the great series which the Colonial theatre is running. Patrons are continually asking at the box office the titles of the Alice Joyce and Tom Moore incidents that are to come in the series, and acting upon the public interest, the, managenent of the Colonial theatre will present to- day, the strongest and most weirdfy fascinating of the whole series. It is in two reels and is entitled "The Mys- terv of the Sleeping Death It is profound in the extreme but like all other events in the series is complete in today's film.

The Marines Debut.

The marine is in his origin and use peculiarly British, and even today America is the only country to pos sess a similar force. The marine originated in 1864, when "1200 land souldgers were rayzed to be distri . buted in his majesty's feete." Since then the marines have been constantly disappearing and coming to life again. In 1697 they were disbanded, only to I be revived by Queen Anne. Disappear ing again in 1712. they were revived as part of the army twenty-six year s later. In 1748 they vanished again, but seven years later they appeared once more, and since then their his tory has been continuols-and gioIi- ous-London Chronicle

pr. Weat,n sernnons.

An attractive little volume entitled The Prophets of the Soul" by Dr. Lester L. West, so we'll remembered in Norwich as a former pastor of the Sec- ond Church. has just made it's appear ance. It is published under the aus pices and at the solicitation of Dr. Vests friends in the Congregational church at Everett, Washington, where he went on leaving Norwich
 It may as well be admitted at the outset that these sermons are entire ly out of the common line of reading They throw no light on the compara- ative greatness of ex-P Presidents Taft and Roosevelt, the German atrocities" of the Belgian Fund" In a word they are as far as possible from being of the earth entirely.
 When Ralph Waldo Emerson first began to deliver his wonderful lec- lures an enthusiastic admirer was asked what he said. After some re- 6ee tion he wa5 forced to admit that he could not recall, a single one of Emerson's sentences or ideas, but, said he. in a glow of admiration, Tt seemed all the while he was speaking as if something beautiful was passing by"
 The same may be said of Dr. Vests sermons. To some readers they will make no appeal, but others will find in them the philosophy of Plato and chc sNtrit of Jesus.
 The volume seems very small for the price, $f.00, but it is another in- stance of Infinite riches in little room" The value of the book lie sin the rare beauty of the thought and ex- pTession. One can never tell how rich it's fruits may be. Picked up in some idle moment a single sentence may change the entire future life of the reader: may convert the man whose talk and thought has been of r1indame affairs only into a seer of divine visions-into spiritual compassion for life of the Man of Naz- areth.
 The volume can be obtained at George Davis bookstore and we hope many will avail themselves of the op- portunity. No more appropriate-we had almost said valuable gift could he bestowed upon any intelligent and thoughtful friend for the approaching holiday
