ming on the cable the load is forced by automatic winches along the sloping transport line at the rate of 5000 feet per second. On reaching the deck of the battleship the load is automatically released, and the transporter starts on it's return journey to the collier, This apparatus enables sixty tons of coal to be carried every hour across the gap of water separating the supply ship from the battleship. The great advantage of the system is that both vessel during the operations can move at the rate of twelve knots per hour. The movements of the loads of coal are controlled by two transport winch | es mounted on the collier. a singld lever operating the forward and backl ward journeys of the carrying device.

Drove On with fCoT SnoC OHs
 A story telling of the heroism of an aviator described as "de M-'' whose father was killed in one of the first engagements of the war, has been sent to the Petit Journal, Paris by a correspondent with the northern army.
 De M" was sent with a sergeant to Lombard a corner of the Belgian coast where the Germans had been showing exceptional activity. They had to pass over a region where Ro- land Garros accomplished his most sensational exploits and where the Germans had installed a hundred anti air craft guns.
 The aeroplane was piloted safely ! through a storm of shells, while the sergeant dropped bombs according te instructions, and then turned towards the French lines, rising to height oi 5000 feet to avoid the hail of shrap- mel.
 Suddenly a German shell smashed the front wheels and hurled through the machine, severing the aviator's left foot. The aeroplane began to plunge downward, but de M" gritted his teeth and righted the machine, keep ing it headed towards camp. The sergeant, who thought they were done for, supported the pilot with his lief arm, while with his right he started to pencil a farewell letter to his moth CT. They still had 15 miles to fly tc reach a place of safety.
 Shall I take the helm?" asked th' sergeant.
 No, no. - you. Trust to me. Vel get back to France all right" was d. Ms reply.
 The sergeant then abandoned hi letter-writing and supported the pilo with both arms. De M. stuck to hi task and took the machine safely bacl to the starting place and crawled ou unaided through the hole made by thu German projectile. Not until he reach ed the hospital at Zupdcote did h. faint.

RIBBON HAS USES.

''How can keep my collar from slipping away from the neck in the back?" asks young girl who has purchased a new crepe de chine waist and has the same difficulty that many-fnd with the new style collar.
 With the waist loose and V shaped at the neck, there Is little to hold the back of the neck in place or to prevent slipping, especially where the shoulders are sloping.
 The dainty fold of satin or ribbon that is worn around the neck nova days gives no hint that it is for a practical purpose or for anything but the pretty little accessory or necklace that it looks to be, but it is o very useful affair, for 1t is about the only solution to the question of how to keep the collar from slipping down in the back.
 If the collar separates several inches in the front, 1t can be on the outside of the collar or if it gives a better effect 1t can be inside next to the neck, with the collar fastened to it in the center of the back and on the sides if necessary.
 It is finished with a tiny bow un- der the chin. The little touch of color given in this way is often an addition to the whole appearance of waist.

Chased By a Submarine.

A remarkable story of an encounter between a British cargo vessel and a German submarine is related by Cap tain J. R. Green of the Moss Line steamer Vosges. He says:
 "On Saturday morning a submarine appeared flying the German ensign and signalled to us to prepare to abandon ship. had always made up my mind to make fight of it in such an emer- gency, and I ordered all steam up in order to get way. I turned my stern to the enemy, and then ensued duel of skill Rolled of using his torpedo the submarine manoeuvred to bring his gun into action, and his superior speed, despite the fact that we were making over fourteen knots, enabled him to do so. Still, it was only now and again that the gun could be train ed on the ship, and then the shells dropped as from a quick-irer. The main target was undoubtedly the bridge, and it was marvellous how any of the chief officers there ever es- capped; the bridge was riddled like a colander and one shell struck down Second Officer Doody, of Blackpool while in the course of the fight all the officers received injury from shrapnel splinters. The funnel was almost carried away by one shell. The chief engineer, MT. Davies of Liver pool, who was urging his stokers to lu4 LACA CALOIISt @dS AlllGo py a EnGll which travelled forty feet along an alley-way after penetrating an iron plate.
 It was evident that the submarine could not overtake the vesel, and her commander decided to give up the chase. With last shot she disap- peared. but that missile probably proved fatal, A hole two feet square was torn on the water line in the fore part of the ship. I got a ladder and went over the side to see if the damage could be repaired. but realized that it was hopeless. I was almost sucked inside myself by the indraught of water. There was nothing for Ii but to abandon the ship.
 I am thankful, however, that the enemy did not know he fatally struck us and did not see us sink. About this time H. M. patrol yacht Wintonia hove In sight and was signaled. As towing was out of the question we took to oul boats and boarded the yacht, which brought us to Newquay. It was found necessary to take the second officeI and a mess-room boy. aged fifteen tc

HELPING CONNECTS,

Thomas Mott Osborne has many ideas regarding the best methods for all concerned in the conduct of penal institutions. He has placed a number of these in effect since becoming war den at Sing Sing, the results of which will be best disclosed later and he hopes to be able to introduce more.
 The value of work to convicts rath- CT than idleness is fully appreciated by them, but under existing methods there is little incentive, the feeling being among many that a little work counts for as much as a great deal. In order to overcome this, Warden Osborne has hit upon the scheme of separating the convicts into classes and providing those who are unwilling to work with only such necessities as the state is obliged to give, but no privileges. To those who are willing to work. for the purpose of bringing out fair days production, there would be given token money with which what might be termed the better things of prison life and the privileges could be purchased, such as the right to purchase additional eatables. the right to receive visitors. supplies from home, books and papers, the privilege of smoking in the yard and talking at mess and the right to attend certain entertainments.
 A banking system would be main tained for the accounts of the various prisoners with the possibility of con- verting any surplus of token money into actual currency when their time for release came. The idea is not so far away from a plan which is suc- cessfully worked out in George Junior Republics, but there would appear to be an excellent opportunity in connec- tion herewith to make some pro- vision for the dependents at home. They often bear the greatest burdens.

COLLARS AGAIN.

Now that high collars are in fashion again, the shops are selling collar forms. You remember the forms that we used to buy? They were made of crinoline or buckram or net mounted ed with stiffeners, and they simplified the making of stiff. standing collar most decidedly, and they were as un- comfortable as fashion demanded. The new forms are like them in most re- spects-but they are not uncomforta- ble. That is because the new collar is not uncomfortable. For it is low in front, although it is very high in back. That is to say, the collar that needs stiffening flares high at the back but makes a V-closing in front One of these forms could be easily covered with silk or with chiffon

HOT DISH MARKS.

Very often a young housewife imag- figured for good by the white heat marks left from too hot dishes, but these marks can be removed in several different ways. The lighter stains will vanish if a few drops of sweet oil are polished with a soft cloth wet with spirits of wine. A hot iron held over the spot will cause the wood to re- turn to it's color, when it should be quickly polished with a cloth wet with kerosene. If the mark is not very large it may be inclosed in a muffin ring and the iron may be rested on that. This keeps the heat from es- caping and brings quicker results.

TO SERVE TEA AND SANDWICH

An easy way of serving a cup of tea is to place the cup on matching plate and to put a folded tea napkin, a spoon and a fork on the plate. Then you may desire to serve with the tea They can be accommodated on the plate and daintily and easily eaten.
 If elaborate cakes or sandwiches are served with tea and no plate is provided, it is difficult to manage them balanced on the saucer of the cup. If a separate plate is held under the cup and saucer. it is practically useless, for the saucer so nearly fills 1t that the margin at the edge is not wide enough to accommodate the cakes.
 Of course, when a simple wafer or easily eaten sandwich is to be passed with the tea, the saucer of the tea cup is sufficiently commodious to ac- commodate it.
