Reception Of Note in Berlin
Friendly.

Washington, June 16.-Am-
bassador Gerard cabled today
his first informal report on how
the last American note to Ger
many was received in official
quarters in Berlin. He spoke OF
it's reception as friendly and
courteous and said the unani7
nous opinion seemed to be that
the document afforded basis
for diplomatic negotiations and
settlement.
Long extracts front German
newspaper editorials most OF
which have already been pub
lished here, were transmitted by
the ambassador. There is a
friendliness Of tone in them and
an absence of the bitterness
which has previously character
lied, some of the newspaper ut
terances. M At.n
' The ambassadors own com
ment was brief and of gener-
al character bearing out press
reports of the favorable impress
sion made by the note.
Officials here have been much
encouraged by the manner in
which the German press and Of
ficials have regarded the Amer
lean communication and believe
that the way to al understand
ing would be much clearer than
heretofore.

Kite signaling Of French Navy.

Novel ways of signaling were tried
out recently during the naval ma
neuvers in the Mediterranean by men
aboard the French warships It was
generally conceded that the tests with
box kites were most efficient. The
results proved that the box kites, be-
ing light, can be hoisted even when
there is but slight breeze; and their
size makes them easily discernible
from great distances. The signal sys-
tenn used was similar to that Of the
flag system. Various combinations Of
kite groupings were used While this
system of signaling is not quite so
fast as signaling by means of flags,
It ia more definite, it Is claimed, and
can be seen for miles around. The
success of the experiment has led to
to q recommendation to the French
government that the system be intro
duced generally in the navy of France.

The skins Resistance.

Professor Won Pfungen has been en-
gagged with experiments in his Iabora-
tory at Vienna upon the resistance
which the human skin affords TO the
electric current He operates by pass
ing the current through the body from
one hand TO the other and measuring
the amount by sensitive galvanom-
eter.
His researches bear upon the rela-
ton OF the state OF the nervous sys-
tenn to the electric resistance of the
skin, and he claims that nervous ex-
citement of any kind lowers the pro-
tecting power Of the skin to quite a
marked extent

Why Not.
BY Margaret Weddemer.

by margaret WeuuelueI'
The author of The Rose Garden
Husband" which was so popular
last spring and summer, has given
the public another book written in
the same happy strain. Rosamond
Gilbert had been reared by a great
uncle whose policy in dealing with
her was that if there wasn't any
reason why a thing should be done
there was every reason that it
should not be done by thus spelling
all the joys of her daily life. The
story opens at the death of the IN
Gle who leaves her $4,000 and she
is determined to enjoy some of the
things that have always been de-
MED her. Tho she may be just
little to lucky to be a real girl, it is
a splendid story and show US how
we may be happy and make others
happy in every day life.
