Mexico, reported to the navy depart
ment today that he had been in
formed by the commanding officer OF
the British Hermione that the Brit
ish commander has instructions TO
care for Spanish subjects in the event
of any disturbance at Tampico.
This report was regarded here as
significant OF the attitude of the
Spanish government toward the

can situation. 1T has been known
for long time that Spain feels very
deeply the fact that hundreds Of her
citizens have been killed or deported.
and their properties confiscated in
northern Mexico, and the Spanish
government and its representatives
have been inclined to blame the
United States for the conditions In
Mexico. which have resulted in the
persecution of Spaniards.

When Bob Ingersoll was in the

client young and buxom widow,
The opposing counsel was Jonathan

as he was an able lawyer.
At the close of the evidence Mr..
Cooper arose and made splendid
argument on his side of the case, clos
ing by saying that his legal opponent
was prejudiced when it came to de-
Tending beautiful women.
After the venerable Presbyterian
closed Colonel Ingersoll arose with a
twinkle In his eye, and slowly and
solemnly commenced as follows:

Novel Car Ferry

An ice-breaking train ferry-boat has
recently been built in England for
transferring trains across the st. Law
renee river from Quebec to Lewis. The
tidal variation is IS feet, and to pro-
vide for this the deck of the boat that
carries the trains is arranged to be
raised or lowered by a series Of long
screws distributed at intervals on
either side. and all operated stimuli
taneously by special engine. This
provides for receiving and transfer
ring trains at fixed level terminals at
either landing, the immediate connec-
ton between the shore end and the
boat track being by a short hinged
gangway attached to the boat deck.
AS the ferry is designed to operate
throughout the winter nickel steel
screw propeller is located at the bow
to clear ice from the landing stage.
When not in use this propeller is per-
mitted to run idly-Scientific Amer
