Washington, April 19.-The nonmag'
netic yacht Carnegie Is on one of the
longest voyages ever undertaken. The
yacht will be gone at least two years
and perhaps three. During the voyage
she will go as far south as the ocean
is navigable and then as far north as
possible. After observations are taken
In the Arctic the Carnegie will again
turn south and go to the Antarctic.
The Carnegie is operated by the Car
negie institute of Washington and is
being used to determine the origin and
the varied distribution of the earth's
magnetic currents. The yacht Is an
auxiliary %brigantine and was placed In
commission In April. 1909. She is COM
manded by Captain Ault.
The Carnegie has made many long
cruises. the first being to the north OF
Newfoundland, where many valuable
data were gathered. In June. 1910. she
left on a cruise which carried her In
zigzag fashion around the world. This
voyage lasted three years and six
months, and the log showed that she
had covered a distance Of $4,000 miles
In her travels.

Striped Uniforms For War.

London, April 1s.-The experience OF
this war may lead to the trial OF sol
diers' uniforms striped like the zebra
or banded by the colors Of the rain
bow, In the opinion of some military
observers. who have serious doubts as
to the effectiveness Of khaki. blue gray
or any of the other colors now In use.
In India and South Africa, where
khaki got its reputation as a uniform
cloth. it fitted well into the back
grounds of the landscapes, but In the
different atmospheres and landscapes
OF Europe both the khaki and the blue
gray show up conspicuously In mass.
Nature, the color experts now say.
did not stripe the zebra by way Of or
nament, but as a protective measure.
Ii Is the unbroken mass of color, no
matter in what shade, that catches the
eye in the distance. Colonel Maude. a
well known expert, recounts an In
stance in India when his party, APP
preaching a parade ground from a dis
lance, were unable to see but M Of
three battalions until comparatively
close up. The troops all wore scarlet
Jackets. But two battalions were
made invisible by white pipe clay belts
and cross straps, which broke the a
of color. while the conspicuous body
had dark straps which blended In with
the red. Tigers. leopards, birds. liz
ards. snakes and most living creatures
use the notified coloring.

Dirt and Disease Germs.

IF we would only eliminate all the
preventable causes Of disease" says
a noted physician, 1--WE wouldn't know
our cities and towns in two months.
Our people are very careless with re-
gard to the elimination Of waste and
rubbish Of all kinds which carry dis
nase germs. Nobody makes it his bust
ness to see that ordinary cleanliness
and neatness are maintained. Who
would think Of approaching a man
tearing a letter to shreds and casting
it in the street and telling him he was
doing wrong? Yet in Berlin a man
would be arrested and fined for such
an offense. We should have u similar
law here and enforce it."

In the breathless silence which fol-

rose and drew her chair close beside
her counsel.
"We went into -Ir. Shaw's study and

the witness. HE was excited, and
when the papers were produced and
he discovered that they were made out
in Barstow's name he refused to sign
them, saying they would put him COM
pletely in Barstow's power. This led
to angry talk, but the upshot Of it all
was that Shaw would not yield and
Barstow finally asked him how he pro-
posed to do the business. Then Shaw
drew a paper from his desk showing
a transfer Of all the property to Alice
Emory, and the moment Barstow read
this be threw it on the table, saying
he would not permit the use of Miss

after a pause.
The witness nodded slowly.
"He demanded Barstow's authority
for saying what Miss Emory should

was the beginning of the trouble. but
