Tho Lion Of St. Marks.

The famous winged Lion Of st.
Mark, symbol of the old Venetian re-
public, which was endangered by the
Austrian air attack on the city Of the
lagoons, is one of the most composite
monuments in existence. 1t is of
bronze with eyes Of white agates-
though Venetians tell you they are
diamonds-and it is believed to have
ornamented some ancient Assyrian
palace before 1t came to Venice and
was raised on the top Of column in
the Square of st. Mark
The whole figure, as 1t now stands,
belongs to many epochs, renovated
again and again, and the only portion
Of the original animal remaining is the
head-except the crown-and part of
the body. When last renovated in
1891 the whole lion was found to be a
mass Of disconnected fragments bound
together with iron bands.

REALLY IS CRUISER
Latest German Submarine IS
Formidable Fighter.
Carries 4Inch Quick Firing Gun Which
Fires 31-Pound ProjectiIe Which
viii Penetrate Ten Inches Of
Iron at Close Range.

London.-That the latest German
submarines are practically submerged
light cruisers and carry guns which
make them fully as formidable in Of
fensive as vessels of the latter class,
is the statement made by a leading
English authority on naval matters.
when the war broke out" he said,
Germany, like the other sea powers,
had a certain number of submarines
that carried guns. These, however,
were small weapons. The caliber OF
the piece and the way in which 1t was
mounted made it ineffective for such
purposes as sinking a ship Really,
these submarine weapons, whether
placed outside the boat or on rising
carriage, were little more than expert
ments.
Germany is now using much larger
submarines, and these are armed with
four-inch quick-fring gun, which
bears about the same relation to the
earlier submarine weapons that the II
inch howitzer does to the ordinary
field pieces.
I'm addition to introducing this big
gun into their submarines, the Ger
mans have mounted it in very in
genious manner. Gun, platform, etc.,
are carried snugly inside the boat
while she is cruising, and the method
OF bringing it into action is very quick
and efficient. Two men take their
seats on the elevator platform beside
the gun. A pull on a lever and the
platform shoots up, carrying the gun
with it.
"As it rises from the boat the gun
lifts of a hatchway, which auto
matically forms protective shield for
the gun and the men who work 1t.
One of these men trains the weapon
around to whatever direction is re-
Quired, while the other elevates or de-
presses, and also fires it. Another
pull of the lever, and down drops the
gun again, the hatChway closes auto
matically above it, and the submarine
is ready to dive.
For attacking merchant vessels
this four-inch gun comes much cheap
er than torpedoes would, and In some
ways 1t is more effective. A torpedo
costs thousands of dollars, and 1t may
miss its mark. Scores of German tor
pedoes have done 80. But round for a
four.inch gun costs little and If the
first shot fails a second can be sent
quickly after it.
Besides this, the gun has a long
range. 1t fires a 31-pound projectile
with sufficient velocity to penetrate ten
inches Of iron at close range, which
means that the shell will carry long
way, and it is more difficult for ship
to escape from a submarine thus
armed than from one using torpedoes
only, particularly so as the Germans
have adopted for use in their sub
marines a torpedo that has a short
range, but carries an unusually pow
erful charge Of explosive"

The decline Of the banana industry
in Costa RIGA for several years past
has become very noticeable and its
effects are strongly felt in the bust
ness life Of the country, for Costa
RIGA formerly led in the production Of
bananas. Plantations have become af-
fected by an incurable disease, and as
a result the largest growing and ship
ping company has found it more prof
table to cultivate new plantations in
other countries, building new wharves
and constructing new railways, than
to attempt to stamp out the disease.
The banana business is therefore
gradually leaving Costa RIGA.

more courageous and independ-
ent.
You must remember there are.
two people to deal with on the
farm. There always will be, be-
cause a man won't stay on the
farm without a woman. So when
ever you go to the farm to look
over things you can lend money
on see how the wife is faring.
Let her hear all your talk. II you
deal with her, as well as with the.
husband, you will find the debt is
paid more promptly.
The keynote of American life
is that however proud you may
be OF your cotton, however proud
you may be of your ability to-
diversity, however proud you may
be Of your cattle, you are more
proud of the boys and girls on
the farm.
Unless a farm mother can
have time to be with her chill
dren, to play little games with
them, and tell them wonderful
stories in the twilight to inspire
them to the higher things in life,
then you will fail on having the
best crop that you can turn out.
THE woman who slaves the.
long day through is the woman
who is wrinkled and worn before
her time. Her boy sees what
farm drudgery has done for his
mother, and he shrinks from ask
ing girl to share with him the
life on the farm. The girl sees 1t,
too, and turns her eyes to the
great city, where she sees girls
with pretty dresses and with
slippers on their feet. And re-
member that $4,000 farm girls
every year are lost in the great
city.
1T is up to you men to see that
the boys and girls want to stay
in Gods country, growing up in
Gods sunshine, happy and con-
tented on the farm. So think Of
the farm mothers; make their
work so easy they can raise their
children to become useful men
and women in the country"

You merchants must see to it
that the farm woman does not
have to work so hard. See to it
that she has the things she needs:
you may be sure she will not ask
for them.
Il do not mean to complain OF
the men. | believe the average
American man, when he asks a
girl to go into his home, means
to do the right thing. He just
Doesn't realize what hard work
she does and what she needs. So
you merchants must remind him
to provide the conveniences to
tighten her burden.
Il would like to have it borne
in upon every merchant boy how
necessary it is to have water in
the farm house, and not compel
the women to carry it a quarter
OF a mile. Up north where it is
so cold we have to drill wells al.
most down to China, we are put
ting water in the houses for the
women. Down here in the south
it is such an easy thing for YOU
to do.
Every merchant should ar
range some spot in his store
where the farm women may rest
| | have seen women come to town
to do their little shopping AND
stand and stand while they wait
for their husbands to finish er'
rands in town. II the merchants
had a few rocking chairs for the
women to use, or a cot where
they might place the baby, how
much more would they have
thought Of that merchant.
Many of you merchants lenC
money to the farmers. Why
don't you give the women
chance to make her life easier
If her time is not taken up from
earvy morning until late at nigh
she will raise more chickens anC
calves; she will make more money
for you. 1t is such a splendid
thing for a woman to have a LITTLE
money Of her own; it makes bel

PLEADSFOR FARM WOMEN

Southern business men attend
ing the Cotton States Merchants
association convention, in Mem
phis, were asked to tighten the
burden Of the farm women, and
to give them a chance to raise
their children properly and keep
them in the country.
The plea for the farm women
was voiced by Mrs. Nellie Eddie
Jones OF Auburndale. Wis, who
lives ten miles from the nearest
railroad station and fifteen miles
from a meat market. She knows
conditions in the farm home and
her message gripped and held the
southern merchants who heard
her.
1--WE have talked much about
the prosperous farms with their
automobiles, but we have not
talked much Of the people who
have nothing; who are working
with their hands to build a
home," said Mrs. Jones. You
bankers and merchants are wax
ing up to the fact that you must
help these people.
"You have heard all about
better farming methods from
other speakers. You know all
about the boy farmers who get
pig to raise, the farmer who
buys a fine sire for his neighbors
to use, and of all such things. !
want to talk to you about the
woman who has the courage to
90 anywhere with the husband
she loves, to slave for him to
make the home.
"The farmer goes in debt for a
better pillow, or for anything that
makes farm work lighter, but be
forgets that his wife needs a few
of the things to make her work
and life easier. You merchants
must remind him to get her
good stove, a good churn, a gooc
washing machine, good breac
mixer, and all the things she
needs to make her work swift anc
sure.

euncotton as Bait.

A part Of the equipment OF some
cavalrymen just returned to France
from a few days furlough in England
is a tishing-rod and several varieties
of floats But there are others who
prefer to fish for the pot in more sud-
den and ruthless manner Their meth
cd is very different. They operate in
those parts Of the canals where roach
and dace are thought-not always
with reason-to be numerous. The
final attack, as in all modern aggres-
sive operations, is opened by the ex-
penditure Of explosives. But in this
case the expenditure is not great. A
small wad of guncotton neatly ex'
ploded under water is enough to &C
count for all the fish within a consid'
cradle radius; and a few moments
after the discharge the undersides OF
the roach and dace appear on the
surface. The idea was suggested by
the accidental havoc wrought among
the fish by a certain Jack Johnson.
