NAVAL GUN VIBRATION.
Conditions on Warship When Heavy
Eirinu IL In PROGRESS.

Conditions on a Warship When Heavy
Firing IL In Progress.
The average civilian has a very
vague idea as to the conditions inside
turret on a war vessel while heavy
firing is going on.
The greatest force of the vibration
from the firing of gun is naturally
Just outside the muzzle, and that is
outside the turret. So terrific is this
vibration that if severe precautions
were not taken the deck under the
muzzle would be ripped to pieces,
sheet iron doors would be wrenched
from their hangings and skylights
shattered. To guard against these eff
fects the deck under the gun muzzle Is
REINFORCED with steel plates about an
inch thick and skylights are taken of
and replaced with coverings Of armor
plate.
OF course q very considerable roar
and jar are felt inside the turret. Men
who are looking for the refinement of
precaution recommend that gunners
wear shoes with rubber cushioned
soles and heels 10 lessen the jar on the
deck.
The air vibration, due either to firing
in ones own or some other turret, has
caused many cases of gun deafness.
To stuff the ears with cotton wool u.s.
of course, the commonest expedient
followed by men and officers alike
There is also what is called the Cheat
clay and wool 1t is very flexible, can
be nodded to any ear and still allows
it's wearer to hear orders.
Gun deafness may come Immediately
as result of a ruptured ear drum or
gradually owing to an injury to the
auditory nerve.-LOndon Answers.

Williams uncle was very tall, fine

small William admired his uncle and
wished to grow up like him. One day
he said to his mother:
Mama, how did uncle grow so big

His mother said, "Well, when uncle
was a small boy he was always very
good boy and tried to do what was
right at all times. so God let him grow
up big and tall"

The immensely of Space.

A Photographic plate exposed to the
heavens in large telescope for any
considerable length of time shows moth
ing but continuous blur Of light, in
dicating that the Photographic eye sees
beyond the reach Of human vision such
a multitude Of suns that every part
Of space is filled. One may gain some
inkling of the immensely Of space by
supposing the Photographic plate ex-
posed upon the remotest star it now
records and looking out still farther to
find the heavens still crowded with
millions and millions Of suns, each
possibly having its own planets.

Where Women Swim Best.

boat-they swim out to the pearl fish

them. After this swim of half an hour
they dive down fifty feet and fetch up
queer one shelled pearl oysters as big
as babies. They dive till their baskets
are full-the baskets are corked to
keep them afloat-and after three or
four hours work they swim back
home with their catch. The big one
shelled oysters are valuable as pearl
mines and as food too. A half dozen
Koreans will sit down to an oyster as
gayly as you or sit down to broiled

ANCIENT ROMAN THEATERS.
Augustus Made the Women Sit Apart
In the Highest Places.

In the Highest Places.
When Rome was in her glory and
the theater most popular distinctions
between spectators long remained I'M
known. When distinctions were made
the best seats were not assigned to the
priests, for the drama had no such re-
ngious significance for the Romans as
it had had for the Greeks, but were
set apart for the more aristocratic por-
ton of the community.
The orchestra was by law set apart
for the senators. Later, perhaps after
81 B. c., the first fourteen rows back
Of the orchestra were, by the law of
Roscius Ohio, reserved at Rome for
the knights. says Art and Archaeology.
Similar arrangements obtained in RO-
man. theaters outside Of Rome, though
in a provincial town like Pompeii as
many as fourteen rows Of seats can
hardly have been necessary for the
knights.
Augustus regulated the whole mat
ter afresh. He confirmed the special
privileges already granted to senators
and to knights. He relegated the low
est classes to the highest seats and
made the women sit apart, likewise In
the uppermost places. It is possible
that he was the sponsor also for the
more exact regulations laid down con-
corning places Of honor for magis-
trates, priests, etc.
The seats Of highest honor were
those on the tribunalia. Here the
editor and the emperor sat on the right
side. On the other tribunal the vestal
virgins had their places, and with them
the empress.

The Praetorian guard was select
body of troops instituted by the EN-.
peror Augustus to protect his person
and consisted of ten cohorts, each of
1000 men, chosen from Italy. They
had peculiar privileges and when they
had served sixteen years were retired
on a pension of about $500. Each
member of the guard had the rank of
a captain in the regular aEmy. Like
the bodyguard of Louis XII, they were

Trimmings for Summer FrOcks

Lace in shadowy patterns and cob
webby weaves such as Chantilly, NAL
inc, the cheaper shadow laces, will be
used for founcings and trimmings for
both gowns and blouses; lace is being
used considerably in millinery also,
draping the picture hat to accompany
the organdy frock. Many metal laces
are shown for trimming purposes, too,
some of them carrying out the pat
terms of the thread design. Valen-
ciennes lace will be a great favorite
for the regulation lingerie frock and
for children's dresses.

The Novelty C0ttOns
There is no paucity Of novelties in
the new spring and summer cottons;
they are most charming in color and
design. Wolfe forms the basis of the
majority of these fabrics; there are
printed and striped voiles; voiles
striped and barred with open work or
needlework patterns, and voiles strip
ed and barred with artificial silk. Some
of the openwork checked voiles are
printed and embroidered with bright
colored flowers, Oftentimes with
quaint, precise, art nouveau figures.
Soft white batistes show hairlines
of color, and are bordered in plain
white, edged with the color; these are
the new handkerchief embroidered ba-
tistes and are used for lingerie gowns
and blouses.
Plain lawns and organdies in all the
soft pastel tones, and in plain white
are exceptionally good this season.
The organdies are being used for en-
tire frocks over slips of sitter or

pretty for graduating frocks and sum-

FASHION REALM ;
4 SPECIAL LETTER FROM NEW !
YORK TO THE SAUk GEN. :
! TIRE HERALD I
New York, Feb. 20, 1916.

Quite as interesting, at the opening
of season, as the new designs them
selves and thousand and one odd lit
tie fads which Fashion always pre-
sents at her openings, are the new
materials in which to fashion these
stunning models. 1t is amusing to note
to what an extent serge is still being
used this spring for suits and one
piece frocks. 1t is not an exaggera-
ton to state that at least nine-tenths
of the new spring suits are being
made of dark blue serge, "Cest 81
chic" the smiling French venreuse,
will tell you, and you can read be-
tween the words, "and wooden novel;
ties so scarce" In America it is the
dye situation which is affecting our
woolens, not that we have as yet felt
it to any great degree, but as time
goes on and dyestuffs continue to get
more scarce, it is bound to be felt. We
may notice the effect this season in
the prevalence of black and white
checks, stripes, stripes and blocks,
and in the popularity of pale shades
in suitings. White cotton and wool
mixtures, striped or barred with pale
tones of gold, blue, green and thin
lines of black are unusually modish.
For sport wear there are any number
of effective materials; some loose
weave plaids with backgrounds of
white, pastel, broadcloths, barred and
plaided in more vivid tones, and some
particularly effective hopsacking in
plain colors and plaids which may be
used for street suits or sport skirts
or coats.
Silk Suitings Popular
The new silk suitings, faille, and
the numerous other twilled silks, tus-
sahs, gros de Londres, and heavier
ribbed silks are very much the vogue.
