Millions for Defense, but Not One
Cent for Tribute is famous saying
which is just as appropriate and has
just as true ring to-day as it did in
1895 when Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney, then ambassador to the
French Republic uttered the words
which have come down the years to
us.
Millions for Defense" is a posi-
biiity nowadays if this country will
only make it so, and the spectacular
motion picture film, Defense or
Tribute" which the Telegraph is
bringing to this city in conjunction
with the New York Tribune and the
Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund
campaign is one of the many ways of
bringing TO the public the realization
of the need for adequate defense if
we are to avert war successfully.

The golfers start from Norfolk with

screw vessels and make the passage
to Cristobal in about five days. Each
is expected to make twenty trips a
year and accordingly they will carry
100000 tons each to the government
coaling stations.
The Achilles and Ulysses were built
by the Maryland Steel company at
Sparrows Point, Md, at cost Of
about 100000 each. They are COM

There are two government coal
plants at Panama, one at Cristobal
and the other at Balboa. The larger,
at Cristobal, is capable Of holding
10000 tons, not including reserve
store of 10000 tons for the use Of the
navy. Government agents say that
they will always be able to sell fuel to
merchant ships at a cheaper rate than
private concerns.

Early Circulating Libraries,

Circulating libraries existed long be-
fore the invention Of printing. Paris
stationers were compelled by a law
promulgated in 1912 to keep a stock
OF books to be lent on hire for the spe-
cfal benefit Of poor students. Merry
weather, In his 'Bibliomania In the
Middle Ages" gives a list Of books so
lent with the prices for reading them,
the charge for the loan Of a Bible, for
instance, being 10 sous. The earliest
known reference to London circulat-
ing library occurs in an advertisement
at the end of a play, '"The Thracian
Wonder" published 1861, announcing
that "books may be read for a reason
able consideration" London Chron-
icle.

STRANGE FASHION FREAKS
Women's Styles Follow Stage Fads or.
National observation-disclosures Helped
One Young Lady.

In nine cases out of ten fashions
are born, not made, and they can Of
ten be traced to the influence Of pass
ing events. 1t would seem that the
short, full skirts which are now in
vogue originated with the Russian bal
let which has been so popular Of late,
in the same way as the tight skirts fol-
lowed the craze for oriental plays and
dances. Following up the Russian in
huence, the Paris fashion experts in
trOduced the Cossack coat and high
Cossack boots.
Dress experts keep changing the
fashions, as it were, in self-defense.
At one time acknowledgement and
hand-embroidered blouses were the
vogue. Then machines were so per-
fected that machine embroidered
blouses outrivaled the hand work, and
fashion experts retaliated by design
ing blouses as plain as they could be
made.
The fashion for uncurled feathers
was the result of a wet day. Curled
ostrich feathers we're on every hat,
when, at some fashionable function,
the rain descended in torrents and ev
cry feather was soon absolutely
straight. Milliners, always alert for
an idea, were struck with the appear
ance Of these feathers, and uncurled
ostrich plumes became the demand.
The fashion for wearing ribbons in
termingled with curls piled on the top
of the head originated in the reign Of
Louis XIV Of France. A certain Mile.
Fontange was out hunting with the
king and court, when a branch. of a
tree caught her hair and pulled 1t
down. With quick resourcefulness she
leaned down, pulled off her ribbon gar
ter, and twisted up her hair with it.
The king, noticing the pretty effect,
complimented her on her charming
couture, and from that moment the
"fontange," as it was termed, became
the rage.
It cannot be denied that most of the
more extreme fashions originate with
the stage, but the most lasting fash
ions are due to royalty. The vogue
for black and white, which has not yet
died out, was the result Of the death
Of King Edward.

why Does a Woman Write Differently
From a Man?

From a Man?
Why is it that you can always tell
story written by man from one writ
ten by a woman? saw the thing put
to rather severe test within the last
month, with results that were star
Ting.
Ten men and women, all oftSahom do
considerable novel reading, had had
dinner together. One of the men asked
the question I put at the top of these
paragraphs. He was in his own home
and went to some trouble to prove that
the sex of authors is an easy thing to
determine.
Giving to each of the nine others a
pencil and piece of paper, the host pro-
ceeded to read extracts from twenty
different books and magazines, select
ing parts in which proper names would
not identify the story. AS he read each
person wrote down his guess as to
whether the author was a man or q
woman.
Of the $50 answers made by the
nine persons to the twenty tests all but
eight were correct. AS he kept the
books from which he read concealed
it was impossible to get aid with the
eye.
But, although everybody guessed right
almost every time, no one could still
give a good definition Of the conun-
drum, Why does a woman write diff
ferently from a APhiladelphia
Ledger.

HOW sLEUTHS MARK MONEY
Pinpricks Made in Certain Places on
Currency Gives Evidence That
Usually Convicts.

In their surveillance and apprehen-
sion of suspected persons government
secret service officers often find it
necessary to make the money" han
died by such persons. There are va
rious methods of SO marking the ma
tional currency, one of the most novel
Of which is the pinprick.
The note to be marked is, say, the
SIS silver certificate bearing the vi
gnette of an Indian chief in his full re-
gala of feathers and trappings and
presenting a fu1l-face view. With the
aid Of pin the secret service man
makes two punctures in the bill d.
rectly in the pupils Of the Indians
eyes. To the casual and sometimes
even critical inspector Of the note
these pinpricks are invisible. If raised
to the light, however, the bill will
distinctly reveal them.
This markings are complicated by
the following process: The pinpoint
is applied in the twist" Of the large
figure at the two upper corners of
the note. These tiny twists do not ap-
pear IN the "neCkS' OF the two 1g-
ures that are at both ends Of the
bottom of the note. The note is now
pierced again, this time in the ends
Of the scrolls on each side of the word
five in the lower center Of the bill.
! The marking is now complete. In Sc
! cret it is exhibited to one or more per
! sons for purposes of Identification and
is then placed in the till or money
drawer to which the suspected person
| has access.
It is said that the pinpricks will re,
main perfect for some time. When
such bills are produced in court and
their markings are explained under
oath, conviction is practically certain

INFLAMMABLE BOMBS.
Substances Used In the Making of
These Deadly Explosives.

lHCSS 1S0Siy ENPiOSfSSSs
The incendiary bomb used by the
Zeppelin aircraft, as a rule, is conical,
Of ten inch diameter at the base, wrap
ped round with tarred rope and having
a metal handle at the apex. The base
is fiat cup, into which pierced metal
funnel is fitted, having the ignition de-
vice and handle fitted at the top.
The funnel is generally filed with
thern1it. The latter, upon ignition, gen
crates intense heat and by the time of
the conclusion has taken the form Of
molten metal, having the extraordi-
nary high temperature Of 5000 degrees
T. The molten metal is spread by the
conclusion.
Outside the funnel is a padding Of a
highly infammable or resinous mate
rial, bound on with an infammable
form Of rope. The resinous material
creates a pungent smoke.
There is generally some melted white
phosphorus in the bottom Of the cap,
which develops naUseous fumes. In
some cases cel1uloid clippings are add
