"DEAL SHIPS" IN wAFARE
One More of the Ancient Methods of
Fighting That Is Being Brought
Into Use Today.

1t was reported that devil Ships
were used in modern warfare. These
devil ships" are another of those an
clent ways Of fighting of which so
many, like mortars and hand grenades,
have been revived in the fighting on
the continent.
A devil ship is a ship that has
been filed with explosives which dis
charge either by means of fuse, or
elockwork, or when the ship hits an
other ship or obstacle. They were en-
ployed as long ago as 1856 by the
Dutch, when the prince of Parma be-
sieged Antwerp. In those days they
We're sent down the river to explode
against a wooden bridge built by the
defenders of Belgium's most important
city. The devil ships" used by the
Germans were exploded by means OF
clockwork.
They mustn't be mixed up with fire
ships, also used by the German sol
diers- These ships are usually filed
with dry wood Smothered in pitch, oil,
and other infammable material, and
when fired are sent drifting against
any defense work or ships of the
enemy.

Ennllsh scouts colleot RottIes.

One resort of English Boy Scouts
for lettering their resources is to
make a collection of bottles, which are
purchased by pharmacists and wine
merchants. The troop of st. Edmond
of Northampton, recently made q
search one afternoon with great sue
cess. About sixty houses were visited
Saturday afternoon between half past
two and half past five, and the bottles
which were gathered were taken to
the courtyard of the school which was
occupied by military authorities of the
section. At six o'clock wagons were
secured to take the bottles to the phar.
macists and wine merchants, who were
very glad to buy them. The scoutmas-
ter, the two assistants and only IL
scouts earned in this way, for the
troop, $3.50.

Color in Liohtino.

The Importance of color in lighting,
which seems to have been little con-
sidered, was dwelt upon by M. Luck
iesh, in a late paper to the American
Illuminating Engineers society. The
eye is synthetic, giving color sensa-
tons from mixtures of light of differ
ent wave lengths. Colored lights may
differ in hue, depending on wave
length, in saturation and purity, due
to the presence or admixture of white
light, and in luminosity, varying with
intensity. Color mixtures may be meas
ured from the contained primary coll
ors-such as red, green and blue. The
colors near the red end of the spec
trum, especially suitable for rooms Of
northern exposure, give an effect of
warmth; colors near the violet end are
cold, adapted for rooms facing south.
Artificial daylight can be had from
suitable absorbing glass.

Efficient Employers.

We hear a great deal these days
about the efficiency of employees, and
1t is well worth while to turn our at
tention to the efficiency of the engi-
neer and the employer of labor as well.
1t was said of FL. w. Thornton, the
well-known railroad engineer, who was
called to assume charge of the Great
Eastern railroad in England: "Any-
one can handle engines and cars and
tunnels, but Thornton is wonder at
handling men. Nor does he ever block
the door of his Office to a man who
has something to say."-Industrial

they marched at a pace that suggest
and talking in terms Of 1912 and
have ben unable to recognize the fact
that this IS 1916, and that division
which made Wilson possible four
years ago is healed.
President wilson's last stroke in
his own behalf was ringed with the
hue OF failure. For several days the
New York newspapers had carried
advertisements that special trains
were to be run to take the crowds to
Shadow Lawn to hear Mr.. Wilson's
last speech OF the campaign. At first
the number OF these special was put
as high as eight. and it was announc-
cd that $1,000 or more Wilson en-
thusiasts would make the journey to
get the final words of announcement
from their candidate, but as the day
approached and the expected enthu-
siasm for the event did not appear.
the number OF special trains was re-
peatedly reduced until. at last the
regular railroad service needed little
supplement to furnish ample accom-
mediation for all who desired to go,
and instead OF 5000. scarcely 1000
persons stood on Shadow Lawn 10
listen to the queruluous words OF
the president who spoke like one who
realized the defeat he is facing and
who found dif8culty in maintaining
his nerve and his composure under
the strain.
Meantime betting odds continue to
show the faith Of the public general
" that Hughes Ie elected and VIII
son defeated. Despite the astound-
ing claims OF the Democratic mana
gers for Wilson majority in the
electoral college almost equal TO that
Of 1912. there was not a Democrat to
be found In New York City who
would back these claims with his
money. II you ask Democrat. espe-
cialy one OF the Wilson campaign
managers. what the result OF the
election is 10 be. he Will reply that
Wilson IS TO carry everything in
sight. But II you ask him to bet.
he Instantly replies that it IS two
to one shot on Hughes and he wants
odds Of At least ten TO six.
That is the situation on the eve OF
the election. Every reliable and re-
spons!ble Indication throughout tbs
campaign has pointed to the over
whslmlnC election of Charles p.
