The Old and the New.

Inventions have a remarkable knack
Of repeating themselves. Among the
more interesting patents for 1914 is
a specification for a wheelless motor
car, propulsion being by means OF
skids, which are alternately lowered
and raised. IN the early days of loco
motive history many inventors did not
believe that sufficient adhesion was
to be attained by a smooth wheel
operating on a smooth raii, and weird
and wonderful were the devices for
overcoming this supposed defect One
ingenious engineer went SO Gar as to
design a contriyanee in which iointed
metal bars worked up and down on
the rails after the fashion Of a horses
legs, and there seems TO be Z certain
affinity between this device and the
motor car referred to above.

HOSPITAL Barues.

Northern France is rich in water
ways, and hospital barges are already
running between Paris and the battle
front, under the auspices of the Union
DIES Femmes de France. The hold is
enameled white and fitted with 40
beds, and at the end is the nurses
retiring-room. The barge-master's
cabin is converted into a living-room
for two surgeons. There is an operat-
ing-room, too, with washing gear, an
electric plant, and perfect system of
heating To convert a Seine barge
into a gondola of this kind costs a
bare $500, and the results are beyond
praise-especially to fracture cases,
to whom the jolting road is agony.
The wounded are hoisted in by
means of small cranes, and the barge
is then towed by steam or motor
yachts lent by wealthy persons, who
are more than glad not only to lend
their boats free of charge, but to navi-
gate them in person, thus sharing in
the work of mercy.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Duke In Doubt.

INC LUNG VI DOupts
The short journey to Africa-over
a calm and perfect sea, whose waters
were voices at her port to solace her,
and where the stars alone glowed
down like friends upon her and
seemed to understand-was a torture
to Julia Redmond. To herself she
called her aunt cruel, over and over
again, and felt a prisoner, a Gagged
creature.
fremont found her charming, though
in this role of Florence Nightingale,
she puzzled and perplexed him. She
was nevertheless adorable. The
young man had the good sense to
make a discreet courtship and under
stood she would not be easily won.
Until they reached Algiers, indeed,
until the night before they disem-
parked, he had not said one word to
her which might not have been shared
by her aunt. In accordance with the
French custom, they never were
alone. The marquise shut her eyes
and mapped considerably and gave
them every opportunity she could, but
she was always present.
The Due de fremont had been often
in love during his short life. He was
a Latin and thought that women are
made to be loved. 1t was part of his
education to think this and to tell
them this, and he also believed it a
proof Of his good taste to tell them
this as soon as possible.
He was a thoroughly fine fellow.
Some of his forefathers had fought
and fallen in Agincourt. They h ad
been dukes ever since. There was
something distinctly noble in the
blond young man, and Julia discov-
cred it. Possibly she had felt it
from the first.
From the moment that the old duch-
ess had said to Robert de fremont:
Julia Redmond is a great catch,
my dear boy. should like to have
you marry her." her son answered.:
"Bien, ma mere" with cheerful &C
quiescence, and Immediately consid-
cred it and went to Tarascon, to the
Chateau d'Esclignac. When his
mother had suggested the visit he
told her that he intended making up
a party for the Mediterranean.
"Why don't you take your godmoth-
er and the American girl? Miss Red
mond has an income of nearly a mil
lion francs and they say she is we'll
bred"
Very good, ma mere"
When he saw Miss Redmond he
found her lovely; not so lovely as the
Comtesse de la Maine, whose invita-
ton to dinner he had refused on the
day his mother suggested the Chateau
d'Esclignac. The comtesse was a
widow. 1t is not very, very CONNIE
IL faut to marry a widow, in the Eau
bourg SHERMAN. Miss Redmond's
beauty was different. She was self
absorbed and cold. He did not I'M
derstand her at all, but that was the
American of her.
One of his friends had married an
American girl and found out after
ward that she chewed gum before
breakfast. Pauvre Raymond! Miss
Redmond did not suggest such posi-
bilities. Still she was very different
from French jeune file.

L. s. GUN OF LONGEST RANGE.
Secretary of Navy Compares Ne"
Piece With England's Best.

Washington, May 2.-Critics who
claim the American navy's 14-inch
rifles are inferior to the 15-inch Brit
ish naval gun are answered in a
statement issued tonight by Secretary
Daniels declaring that the bureau of
ordnance has developed 14-inch
gun that will shoot farther, shoot
straighter and hit harder than any
gun now in use or known to be de-
signed by foreign country
While. conceding that the British
battleship Queen Elizabeth's guns
throw a larger shell, Mr.. Daniels
points out that she carries only eight
15-inch rifles, compared with twelve
14-inch weapons on the United States
battleship Pennsylvania.
There is an axiom with regard to
calibre which amounts to this: That
a ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's ar
NOR over vitals at the maximum
probable fighting range" says the
secretary's statement. THE 14-inch
guns of the Pennsylvania will get
through the maximum armor af1oat,
so far as our knowledge goes, at
range of $4,000 yards The Queen
Elizabeth's 15-inch guns will do little
more than that. If our information
is correct as to the velocity of the
British 15-inch guns, the 14-inch
guns of the Pennsylvania will range
a little farther than the Queen Eliza
beth's 15-inch guns.
The Pennsylvania mounts twelve
guns to the Queen Elizabeth's eight.
Counting volume of fire and prob
ability of hitting, We see that at bat
tie range the number of blows de-
livered by the Pennsylvania in a CIV
en- time will exceed those given by
the Queen Elizabeth by 70 per cent.
No one can doubt the advisability OF
delivering seventeen hits to ten of the
enemy.
Now, if we compare these guns at
a range greater than armor-piercing
range we find that the Pennsylvania $
guns range quite as far, at a maxi
mum as those of the Queen Eliza
beth. Both guns range farther
than they would have any hope OF
hitting a ship

SHELLEH DUNkIRk.
Ordnance Was Latest Work of krupp
Factory.

Paris. May 2.-Today's war Office
report says it is believed the great
German gun, which twice has bom-
barded Dunkirk from a range of %
1-2 miles. has been put out of action.
1t also announces the bombardment
by the French of one of the German
forts at Metz. The text of the state
ment follows:
There is no modification to re-
port in the situation along the entire
front
information received from de-
serter is to the effect that for about
two months engineers of the krupp
Gun works have been directing in the
suburbs of Dixmude, sector where
there has been no fighting, the install
lation of a machine gun capable of
firing a shell over very long range.
1t is this gun which may have bonn
barded Dunkirk. The gun is believed
to have a range of 23.5 miles.
Only nine shells were fired on the
second and last bombardment Of the
French seaport. There is reason to
believe that the gun either has been
damaged by a method of fire which
the most powerful pieces do not re-
sist long time or that the continual
presence of our aeroplanes has had
the effect of stopping its fire.
fOn our side yesterday We bonn
barded one of the forts on the south
ern front of the entrenched camp Of
Metz"

Old Fashions Return With the War

Among the many changes that the
war is bringing into the streets and
the home some of the most significant
are so quiet and unobtrusive that
people hardly notice them. One of
these is the change that has come
over the look of households of per-
sons of fastidious tastes and strict
aesthetic conduct. Formerly the
idea of a mounted photograph Eek
cept perhaps a reproduction of an
old MASTERY was thought to be quite
banal and terribly suburban. Today
you find their mantelpieces crowded
with photographs, some even pinned
on the wall without the slightest re-
gard for spacing and arrangement
details which formerly would have
taken an afternoons thought to set
tie. Our artistic houses are being
ruined without single regret. An
other reversion to simpler days is
the return of the old-fashioned hair
brooch with it's little oblong frame
of gold prettily wrought inclosing a
tiny panel for a strand of hair. Some
of them are originals bought in curio
shops or rummaged out from old
cases, but the hair in them today is
young and newly cut.-Manchester
Guardian.

BOY TRIES TO WRECK TRAIN.
Was Staging an Imitation OF Scene
in the Movies.

Charles Foreman, II years old, a
negro, tried today to Initiate tram
wreckers he had seen in moving pic
lures, and a repetition of the TRACE
dy that sent score of persons to
death seven years ago, when train
on the Seashore Railroad plunged
from the Thoroughfare bridge, was
barely averted.
The youngster had piled scrap iron
on the tracks and was Juggling dis
carded railroad tie to finish the job
on the Meadow side Of the bridge
when a dispatcher sighted him from
tower.
Detectives sped to the scene in an
automobile and the youngster fled.
The II o'clock train from Camden,
due at 12:40, was in sight when
they cleared the track. The boy was
captured after a mile chase across
the Meadows.
