TRlCsaNG SUBMARINES.
'Ruses by Which Vessels May Escape
 Their Torpedo Attacks.

'Ruses by Which Vessels May Escape
 Their Torpedo Attacks.
 It is the surprise attack which in nearly every case enables submarine to torpedo a hostile ship. There are several maneuvers by means of which a ship can trick a submarine Several vessels have diverted tOrpedoes by swinging round their stern until it points in the direction of the undersea craft In this way the wash of the propellers has. defected the torpedo from its course and it has sped harm lessly past it's mark. Another success full ruse is to stoke'up the furnaces of a ship chased by a submarine, and thick. black smoke belches from it's tunnels and envelops the vessel in a protective shroud. Tn this way the sub marine gunners are confused and can not perceive the correct direction in which to send their torpedo.
 A speedy ship which follows an er- ratic zigZag course presents poor mark to a submarine. When torpedo is dispatched against fast travelling vessel it is directed to point just ahead of its mark. and the craft lit erally runs into the death dealing de vice. This obviously cannot happen. however, If a ship is swinging rapidly from side to side and alternately point ing the narrow expanse of its bows or stern to the undersea marksmen.
 A submarine seldom attacks a vessel if it is not alone. for it can only attack one at time. and while it is launching a torpedo at its first mark the second vessel has an excellent opportunity of ra1nming the submarine. which can be located by it's telltale periscope.-Pear- sons Weekly.

Suppressins Swearing.

Profane as well as legal oaths have been the subject of many parliamen tary measures in England. No fewer than five separate bills having the pre- vention of swearing for their object were presented during the reign of James l.. but it was not until 1923 that an enactment was finally carried defining and controlling the offense In 1885 public department was es tablished to collect the fines enforced by this law. The officials of this de- partment, of whom one was appointed in every parish. were allowed 2s. Cd. in the pound on the money thus col lected. and the balance was paid over to the bishop for the benefit of the de serving poor. These penalties ceased to be enforced after the restoration. but were revived by statute of Will liam and Mary and still further in creased under George II.

THE ENTRANCE HALL.

Make It Suit Not Visitors, but the oc.
 cupants of the Home.
 Is anything new to be said about the entrance hall? The smallest room in most houses. it is usually given in the plans an amount of attention that might seem out of all proportion to the rest of the house. And yet the ordi. nary entrance, whether it be a mere vestibule, a spacious hall of the colo. nial style or, as in our present day fashions. part of the living room set off by an archway, is quite unsatisfac tory. It is unsatisfactory for this req son-that the entrance way is designed and decorated from the standpoint of the impression it makes on visitors. whereas the impression we should seek is not that made upon guests. but upon ourselves, the occupants of the house.
 Too often we give the entrance SC were treatment that impresses the stu dent of beauty or that amazes the less discriminating visitor by the other ex treme of lavish display But how does either of these two types of entrance affect those who come into the house many times every day. the good man and his good wife and their children! Is it a room that by its suggestion of rest and repose tempts one after hard days work at the office to drop into the first easy chair that comes along. or does it irritate the nerves and keep one\ going. restless and uneasy. wandering from the entrance to the living room and from the living room to the study and thence to the attic by way of the basement ?--Good Health.

spontini's Decorations.

Casparo Spontini, the composer, re- garded himself in the light of demi- god, and when inspirations crowded upon him he donned wide. toga- like gown of white silk with border of gold and fez of white silk en- broidered in gold from which heavy tassel hung down. With great dignity he sat down before his desk, and if a grain of dust was visible on the paper on which he penned his music he rang the bell inpatiently for his servant to remove the obstacle. Spon- tini owned so many medals and deco rat1ons that they could no longer be accommodated on his breast At 8 grand musical reunion at Halle an old musician remarked to comrade, See how many decorations Spontini has. while Mozart has not one" Spon- tini, who overhead 1t. replied quickly, Mozart. my dear friend. does not need them"

 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying a diff ferent farm. By a friends advice he had moved the year before. into an en- tirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and had not been seen for several months. When the friend did see him at last it was quite by accident, business taking him into the old mans neighborhood. The farm CT hailed him from the cornf1eld and came out to the fence.
 Hello" said the friend. 'Is this your farm?"
 "Yes; and I jist come over to tell you, sir. that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim of your'n before long,"
 "You4must be doing we'll"

 "I knowed that, sir, and that's why I come away over here so far from home. It's kinder strange to me, but as long as am doin' as we'll as am I am goin' to stand it."

ting steamboat wood in the tim ber opposite Carmacks. The last that was seen of him was at D. m- Fri day. He then went out of his cabin leaving his partner, Mir. Back, inside. Naturally, nothing was thought of it at the time, but when Knox failed to return in the evening, a little uneasi- ness was felt, the more so as it was known that the unfortunate man had attempted to commit suicide four years ago at Dawson.
 The men who were working with Knox in the woods searched unavail- ingly, while Constable Yorke went thoroughly over the ground, and also Instituted inquiries up and down the government road. Last evening lorke asked for volunteers for search party, which was to commence oper- ations on Sunday morning. How ever, this turned out to be unneces- sary. owing to the untiring diligence of Constable Yorke Early Sunday morning with the willing assistance of Messrs. Parker and Nelson. Yorke' began a search of the woods back of the cabin occupied by Messrs. Back and Knox. After a little while Knox's jumper was found, and a few yards away the body was seen lying face down. Yorke turned it over, and beheld a ghastly sight. The throat was cut from spot two inches behind the ear to similar place on the other side. Life had been extinct some considerable time. A razor was clutched tightly in the dead mans hand. It was the fact that the razor was missing from Knox's shaving tackle, together with knowledge of his former attempt on his life, that had caused the popula- tion of the little town to fear that Knox had made the attempt again.
 Knox had seemed very much de- pressed and miserable for the last week. He had had great faith in the prospects of some copper discovery on the Nesling, discovery which seemed, from all accounts, more mythical than real. It seems that when he found that his dreams were not to be realized that he was plung- ed into the depths of despondency.
 While there is no other evidence perhaps available than that stated in the foregoing regarding the death 1 it is generally believed here that Knox committed suicide.
 The body is lying at Carmacks, awaiting instructions from the R. N. W. M. P. authorities.
 Capt. Bell of the mounted police, left Whitehorse for Carmacks several days ago to investigate the death of Knox. Major Knight, in charge of the Yukon, stated this afternoon that no report has yet been received from the captain regarding his findings in the case. Two years ago Knox walked into the police barracks at Dawson with his throat slashed. He had made the ugly gash in an attempt at sui eide.
