fore the appointed hour, and Margaret
arrived ten minutes late, hot and ex-
cited from her rehearsal. First of all
she had to explain what senior frolic
was, and then she had to tell Bordman
the details of the play. She had just
finished the last detail of the last act
and Bordman had mustered up cour-
age to interrupt her before she began
on any other explanations.
You know how fond am of you,"
he began. I have told you"
Just then there was an ear-splitting
sound of gong throughout the build
ing. Margaret ran from the room,
with Bordman following after. Then
as the bell sounded again he heard
from all directions scurrying feet and
muffled sounds of feminine voices, and
he lost Margaret in the confusion.
Then came the deluge-girls in bath
robes, girls with flowing locks, hair
brushes in hand-collarless shoeless,
and still more girls pouring in hur-
could neither smell nor see the smoke,
but he had for moment a clear vi
sion of what his duty was. He would
step forward and with military dignity
lead the scattered throng of girls to
safety. Then, at the risk of his own
life, II need be. he would return to
the flaming buildfng-it would be in
flames by that time, Re thought-and
search the building to see that no one
had been left.
Even while Bordman was making
these plans they had marched past
him in orderly rank. "Where is the
fire." he asked. Did it start up
stairs?"
This is the weekly fire drill" an
swered the girl sweetly.
Bordman withdrew to the reception
room to think it over. He heard the
girls returning to the building, and
then heard them file upstairs. The
clock struck $50 and the lights, all
but for a low light in the hall, went
suddenly out. Then in a minute a fig
ure crept into the reception room in
the darkness-shoeless so as not to be
heard. 1t was Margaret and she crept
up to his side with all the old conf
dence she had shown on the steamer.
THAT fire drill interrupted us" she
said. I'VE never know when it is go
ing off. So I thought I would come
back even if it is breaking rules, I will

Don't you dare start it again."
Bordman said frantically. ct have
been trying for 80 hours to ask YOU 70

morrow early and I can't go till 1
know my fate
'J1o you really mean that you want

garet. 81 thought you must have de-
cided not to. But you English men
are so deliberate. Yes, of course will

THE NAVAL TORPEDO.

The sensational success of the sub
marine lends interest to the remark
able weapon with which it does its
work of destruction,-the torpedo,
writes contributor to the American
Review of Reviews for March in an
article entitled, "Battleship VS.. Sub
marine" The jackies dub it the "tin
fish, and the Percy Scott after it's
ardent supporter. The modern auto
mobile torpedo is a cigar-shaped steel
object, % feet long, Fl inches in dia-
meter, and weighs 1000 pounds. With
it's wonderful me chanism of almost
human intelligence, the projectile in
action seems almost to throb with life.
1t dives like a porpoise, steers itself,
and ploughs invisibly through the
water at a speed of 40 miles an hour.
The torpedo can travel distance of
six miles, and at the end of it's run
be capable of destroying or severely
Gripping a great battleship.
The torpedo is divided into three
main parts: L. the warhead, or front
section, which holds the explosive
charge, weighing from two to three
hundred pounds; 2, the air flask, or
central chamber, and 3, the after
body, or tail, containing the turbine
engine, gyroscope, steering-gear, rud-
ders, and propellers.
One of the most ingenious and vital
parts of the whole mechanism is
small propeller for preventing the pre-
mature explosion of the torpedo. 1t
is located at the extreme point, or
nose" of the warhead. It accom-
plishes this by locking the firing pin.
When the torpedo enters the water
on being fired from the submarine or
destroyer, the revolutions of the pro-
pellers release a sleeve" which I'M
covers the firing pin. This puts it in
position to strike the decorating pri-
mer and explode the charge the in
slant the torpedo finds its mark
The central section, or air-flask, oc-
cupies more than one-half the total
length of the torpedo. In this is
stored the compressed air which,
escaping through a valve leading to
the tiny turbine engine, propels the
weapon through the water. The air
chamber is to the engine of the tor
pedo what the boiler is to the recipro-
eating engine of a steamship. Near
the tail-end of the projectile is located
the wonderful turbine engine that
operates the propeller blades The
turbine develops about $50 horsepow-
er, with a corresponding speed of 40
miles an hour. Its initial speed is
nearly a mile a minute, with an ex-
treme range of from eight to ten
thousand yards.
The brain of the weapon is in the
tail end. 1t is a little gyroscope that
one could hold in the hand and it is as
delicately adjusted as chronometer.
This marvellous piece of mechanism,

Any one who has ever had q long
convalescence knows what a delight
full excitement it is to have the post
man or the expressman bring some
little package no matter how small
it's intrinsic value. To Gretchen in her
monotonous typhoid convalescence
there came every day or two some lit
tie reminder from the one friend who
hadn't helped to fill her sickroom with
flowers during the first few days of
her illness.
First came half a dozen narcissus
bulbs with little rhymed legend tell
ing of the sweetness they would bring
if given a bowl of water to grow in.
Next was a little handmade scrap
book of snapshots of various friends
and relatives which the girl with the
bright eyes had scurried about to
gather.
Next came one of the English mag
azines that are full of pictures.
A dainty little pudding helped make
one of the patients first meals appe-
tizing.
A small but very sweet bunch of
mayflowers followed; then a tumbler
of homemade jelly; then a little ten
cent humorous magazine; next a little
single flower vase with a jOnquil in
it; another magazine and lastly a
batch of delicious homemade candy.
AS / said before, if you have ever
had a long convalescence you can APP

all these little things come, meant.

THE COST TO HUMANITY.

The death of Rudolph Berger, IA
nous tenor, of disease contracted dur
ing service in Austrian trenches, calls
attention to the cost of war in terms
other than money and the disturbance
of commerce and industry. War is
taking toll among men of genius and
those to whom great gifts have been
vouchsafed, to be used for the profit
and pleasure of mankind, or whose
intellect and training have enabled
them to contribute to world good.
Think of Fritz Kreisler, sent into the
trenches to be wounded by a wild
CoSsack lancer; think of many other
virtuosos, who have died on the field
unregarded, merely material to be in
cluded in "lossesi' Nine. Schumann-
Heink tells that during a performance
at Bayreuth, six of the singers and
twenty-five members of the orchestra
were marched away to mobilize by an
officer sent for the purpose. 1t is not
among musicians and composers,
poets and writer's that the cost of war
is greatest, though such losses are not
to be disregarded. Scores of famous
university professors of both France
and Germany have already died in the
service of their country. DR.. Bertheim,
one of the first German soldiers to be
sacrificed, was the real cause of the
discovery of sa1varsan, the famous
remedy for protoZoan diseases which

is being deprived of the most brilliant
men, and this is not all; among the
victims of war the men of intellect in

served humanity, who would have

terms with approximate accuracy: its
