HER CUP OF COFFEE RUNS AWAY
Humorous Incident in Gotham Auto
matte Restaurant.


New York.-A woman entered one
of New York's automatic lunch rooms
yesterday afternoon, appearing much
preoccupied. After changing dime
for two nickels she put one of them
in the slot marked Sandwiches and
the other in the hot coffee SLOT
She turned the crank, as per direc-
stricken stoccato shrieks of ooh, OH,
oh!-look!" The other auto-eaters
turned in time to see that she had for
gotten to put cup under the faucet
hence the dismay. All of the brown
ish liquid had filtered down into the
drain.

GLASS FOR CHINA

China imports about s1OOOOO worth of window glass. This is approximate ly three times as much as is imported five years ago This is exclusive of the trade of Hongkong. which amounts to as much more. The whole trade is not large one in proportion to the population, but it is one which is bound to grow rapidly with the ad- vance of China in modern civilization. There is a very great advance being made in the adoption of European methods of construction of dwellings as well as of business houses. As yet only the very cheap grades are wanted, and if Belgium. were a possible com petitor the opportunities for Ameri- can manufacturers would not be great. With Belgium out of the running. the case is entirely different.

DESTROYER NEXT IN
 VALUE TO BATTLESH|P

disappearance of the prey for which they were devised, they gained steadily in engine power, size and armament and finally became an inherent part of the war fleet.
 Armed with three and four twin 1S- inch and 21-inch torpedo tubes they have retained their theoretical func- tion of attacking the underwater bodies of armored ships, but this function has remained largely theoretical Enlarge ment of secondary batteries on big ships, improved gunnery increased speed and vastly improved searchlight systems have reduced greatly the de- stroyer's chances for successful attack with torpedoes, though it is assumed that in the clamor and smoke of sea battle between the giants the destroyer flotllas still may play an important part
 Their more important and certain work that made them valuable was work that the destroyers evolved for themselves They are scouts now, able to hold the seas in any weather and to steam great distances at maximum speed. While they cannot vie with scout cruisers in this respect, they supplement them with a chain of in telligehee that no other form of craft could supply. A secondary, but very boats. which still are needed despite the wireless.
 For actual fighting purposes, also they are vitally necessary, and would have been so had the submarine never been invented. This is bcause they are absolutely the only craft that can fight against their own kind. Against de- stroyer f1otillas the dreadnoughts are almost helpless, because the little ships. nearly twice as fast as the mammoths, can evade them with thorough ease. Therefore. the battleshps cannot fall on the destroyers, but can only defend themselves by firing at them with the secondary batteries. Important as this fact makes a destroyer fiotilla for bat tleships, the arrival of the submarine has made it imperative that the big ships be accompanied by them where ever they may have to go.

It is estimated by R. c. Wood pre- sident of the First National Bank, that the gold output for the Fairbanks dis trict this year will total about as much as that of last year. Up to the present time the yield for the district seems to compare favorably with that for a sim iliar period of last year While the placer yield will be about the same this season as for last 1t is asserted by MT. Wood that the quartz output will be more than last year It was explained that the recent strike in the placer claims, however, has lessened the yield to some extent

In explaining it's naval policy, the navy has placed the destroyer as the type of the warship next in importance to the battleship. The story of now this value has been attained by the craft that once was esteemed only as a minor auxiliary is the story or startling changes in naval theory that have occurred within the iife-terms of Americans of middle age.
 At first the torpedo boat destroyer was little more than a torpedo craft large enough and sufficiently well arm ed to be superior to the torpedo boat proper Thus, the Bainbridge, the first American destroyer, was not quite twice as large as torpedo boats then in use. It carried two 3-ineh rapid fire guns and five six-pounders against the three or four one-pounders that most torpedo boats mounted. Against the twenty-six to thirty men carried
 
 six men and three officers.
 At first the speed of the destroyers was not consistently greater than that of the torpedo boats. For some time naval constructors believed that the latter craft always could be made faster, and even after destroyers were being built largely, torpedo craft still were being constructed with engines that could outspeed the new type But gradually the destroyer attained velo- cities that made competition hopeless.
 It was this. probably, that relegated the torpedo boat to peaceful retirement. It was not a battle test, but experience driven home in maneuvres that demon strated the superiority of the destroyer. When the United States ship Glou. sank the Spanish torpedo boats Fulton and Terror during the Spanish Ameri can war in fair fights. it was as if the little craft that had been sung through out the world by poets as the execu tioner of the battleship vanished fin ally from the imaginations of naval men.
 For some years it has been so com pletely eliminated that the destroyers have quite lost their original prefix of torpedo boat destroyers. It Is the only thing that they lost. Instead of diminishing the importance with the
