A woman can be married to a man

MeXico'S Army.

Under The old regime, President
Oiaz, the crmy was thus composed:
Regular troops 10000, auxiliary reserve
2S.060, second auxiliary reserve 13O, 900
The field army at this time that, is the
first line fighting force. was supposed
TO be )25,000 infantry, $4,000 calvary
and 5000 artillery. These figures are,
of course, now merely guides to posi-
bilities. For several years pow Mex
co has been very disturbed condition.
ano it seems safe to say that during
these years at least one half OF this
audit male population has been under
arms, for one government or another,
for longer or q shorter time. During
this period. also. arms and artillery
have been imported 10 a very consider
able quantities, so that, probably. to
day there are more supplies OF this
character 10 the country than at any
previous time in its history.
1t seems probable that on a pioch
Mexico could put IN the field a force OF
from 500, 900 to 100000 men fairly equip
ped, and with more or less experience
in war. The great difficulty would b.
to unite the present factions OF the peo-
pie, but against the United States prob
ably this difficulty would rot exist, and
a force of this size, fJhting on their
own ground. would be something OF
proposition for az invading force to
handle.

POSTAGE STAMPS IN HISTORY
ScrupIes That Seem Amusing Enter
taIned by Royalties Whose Pic

The English post Office announce
ment invaiidating all the stamps issued
in Queen Victoria's reign affected a
considerable number Of varieties. From
a table published not long ago in
L'Ecno de la Timbroglogie, the French
philatelic journal, it appears that no
fewer than 3,193 different Victorian
stamp portraits had been issued up to
the end Of 1909. King Edward figures
upon 1880 different stamps. Outside
the ranks Of royalty Bolivar tops the
list with 213 stamps, or nearly twice
as many as Columbus, who has been
represented 11s times.
When postage stamps first came in
to use, some people urged that the
effigy of majesty is too sacred to serve
as a label for letters, the Manchester
Guardian ob:e YES. Have you seen
the stamps YETI" wrote one ardent
loyalist In 1910. This is the greatest
insult offered the queen" King Ferdi-
nand of Sicily had a special postmark

So that stamps could be obliterated
without his portrait being struck by
the postal officials. The smaller the
monarch the more he has to worry
about his majesty.

tiAWsERs OF VAST STRENGTH
Monster Steamers Use Steel Repes
Which Il Would Seem Could With
stand Any Power.

After laborious attempts to tow tho
Thessaloniki into port the Greek liner
Patris arrived at New York and her
captain reported that three heavy steel
hawsers had parted during the effort
to save the disabled ship. The lines
that parted were 43s-inch hawsers,
which means that strain Of 81 tons,
or $4,000 pounds, had been e1erted be-
fore the break.
In general towing and lighter ship
work q three-!nch steel hawser Is the
usual line used. This consists OF Six
steel wire strands tightly wound on
. central hemp which Is soaked IN oil,
Giving o certain Dlishtlity. This sort
Of hawser is also used by some of the
steamship. lines for permanent moor
ings. The breaking point Of the three
inch steel line Is about 23 tons. It's
cost ts 70 cents q foot.
The largest Of steel towing lines is
the one stI inches IN circumference,
the breaking strain Of which Is "a tons.
or 100000 pounds. Because OF the
weight Of this line and the difficulty
Of handling it the 44k-inch hawser Is
the one mostly used for heavy towing.
In bulk the biggest hawsers used
In an American port were those on
the Hamburg-Amesicau liners Water
land and Imperator. For permanent
moorings these great liners used 2E
inch hemp hawsers besides smaller
lines Of steel wire and hemp.

he failed to recognize the landscape.

himself a most efficient man with the

For this new weapon is just the
old Roman broadsword revived and
brought down to date. The blade Is
bit shorter than that to which the
legionary was accustomed-15 inches
instead of IS. But the point and edge
are keen, the steel IS good, the hilt
Is plain, and the Injunction to thrust

this accustomed weapon in his grip

When We Spent Our Vacation Organizing q
Church.

Our missionary society had just fin.

was very much interested, and decided
when school was out we would spend
our vacation in the mountains Upon
inquiry, l learned that a small town
by the name of Nederland high up in
the Colorado Rockies was good place
TO spend vacation, and 4 place where
Christian work was very much needed.
One fine summer morning in June
Started with my three children for
Boulder, Colorado. When we arrived
there we boarded train that started
up what is called the Switzerland Trail
and for miles it wound its way up those
vast magnificent Rockies.
When we reached Nederland we
found pretty little town of about 1000
population situated in Il cozy nook of
those vast mountains.

chief industry. 1t was very busy lit

for him to preach. He preached every
Sabbath for a month. both morning
and evening, held open air meetings
on the street. and prayer meetings
"Wednesday evening in the school house
The congregations grew until the
house became too small, and we had to
arrange platforms outdoors opposite
the windows so that all who wished
might hear the message OF good news.
Before we left, they demanded that
. church be organized. The Metho-
dists were in the majority and although
we were PresbyterianS, We did not let
that stand in the way. We put the
matter TO q vote, organized Metho-
dist church, uniting all denominations
in that one. notified the resident pre-
siding elder OF our action, and it Was
not long until here was a minister OF
that faith on the field looking after the
work.
The saloon and red light district were
driven out of town.
When the time came for US to return
home to take up our regular work. the
people showed their appreciation by
holding a farewell reception and pre-.
senting US purse of money sufficient
TO Cover all our expenses.
We consider that one Of the best va
cations we ever had, it is the one that
gives US the greatest pleasure when
we look bach and think OF the days
made happy by the little we were able

LIGHTS EFFECTS. ON GERMS
While It Kills Some, It Transforms
CtEers into Creatures Of
Different Species,

If sunlight destroys bacteria, It 10
also the active agent in multiplying
their species. Such, at least, Is the
obvious deduction which science fs
drawing from a recent experiment OF
Nine. Victor Henry, and It Is one that
opens up an entirely new field to the
bacteriologists.
She had occasion recently to e1-
pose some germs of anthrax to the
rays from mercury vapor lamp. AS
she expected, the treatment proved
fatal to most of the subject, but few
OF them survived.
The astonishing feature in the case
was that the survivors had undergone
radical transformation. They were
no longer thin and threadlike. They
had become spherical. or nearly so,
true cocci, in fact. At the same time.
they were radically different from all
known spores.
What is more, upon cultivation they
did not return to their original form,
aid when injected into animals pro-
luced an entirely new disease.
Nine. Henry Is forced to the conclu-
sion that she has developed an entire
ly new bacterial family, and reasoning
from her experience believes that she
has hit upon the means by which such
families have multiplied. 1t is her
opinion that after long exposure to
sunlight, a germ, If not destroyed, un-
;lercoes a radical change in form and
nature, thus becoming the root OF an
entirely new species.
