Although searchlight signaling be

still utilized. The latest ~battleships

shaft is directed sQuarely at the OBJ

scope is mounted with the protector.
When atmospheric conditions are good
the radius of communication is about
twelve miles in any direction. At
night this is obviously much increased,

suggested.

Le.njna Spanish.

Learning Spanish.
Spanish is the simplest language to
Learn in the world and commercially it
II n of the most valuable. Six
months tuition should enable the aver
age person to acquire a sufficient knowl-
edge Of Spanish for business purposes.
It is quite. simple, too to compose an
ordinary business letter in this Ian
guage at the end of that period. One
fact that makes the language SO easy
to English speaking people is that Span
ish is pronounced exactly as 1t is spelt.
there are no accents to trouble about,
and the letter ''h' is always silent. It
f. far easier. to learn than French, and
q knowledge of Latin helps one consid-
erably.-London Globe.

Fielding at Lisbon.

Lisbon contains the grave Of Henry
Fielding. 1t was on Oct. 4, 1854. that
Fielding died in the Portuguese cap
ital, and It was in 1880 that his tomb
was erected in the English cemetery.
And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. "As
the houses. converts. churches. ETC..
are large" he wrote. land all built
with white stone. they look beautiful
at a distance, but as you approach
nearer and find them to want every
kind of ornament all idea of beauty
vanishes at once" At that time q
voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking
not lightly to be contemplated. 1t
took Fielding exactly fifty days of foul
weather.-St. James Gazette.

A Cabin From . Redwood Loa.

There is a cabin in Golden Gate park,
San Francisco, which is constructed Of
a single log of redwood. It Is about
twelve feet long and rests upon a
heavy platform of timbers which sup
port the weight Of the followed log.
A doorway about five feet high and
eighteen inches wide admits visitors
to the interior, which forms a fair sized
room. The appearance Of the cabin is
striking because the front presents a
cross section Of q large redwood tree
with the bark intact.-Popular Science
Monthly.

MILITARY MANS QUEER PET
soider Proved Mascot In Hot Fight IN
Egypt. and subsequently Mace
LONG Voyage In Safety.

An English military officer has told
of q spider Of his acquaintance tnss
went through several battles and pro.
ceeded on a long journey by sea ana
land, and all without any mischance.
1t appeared that the first time III
spider came into public notice was
Just before the fight at Atbara n up
per Egypt. It had quartered itself IN
the ventilator of the helmet OF the
officer. 1t was an energetic and busy
little spider, but always returned TO
Its quarters in the helmet, where tho
kood.natured officer left it unmolested.
When he went into the Atbara fignt'
it was still in his helmet. Many men
were killed in this engagement, but
the officer and his spider came
through 1t unhurt.
The fighting at an end, the British
officer packed various articles to be
sent home. and among them the he'll
met referred to. Inside was the SPIDER
Not until his effects had been dis
patched, did the officer remember the
spider. 1t was then, Of course, too
late. The officer regretted that he had
sent his little friend on such a lons
voyage without stocking the larder.
When the officer reached London IL
was, he says, with considerable com
junction that he opened the helmet
box. fully expecting to see the dead
hodv Of the spider. Instead. however,
he was rejoiced to find his friend alive
and vigorous-and not even lonely,
since. upon the voyage the occupants
of the helmet had increased in num-
Der, and nov two young spiders shared
the strange retreat.
