English Naval Designers Invent Ne"
Peril for German Submarine. !,
Not until Germany has been floor:
cd for the ten-count will the world
have a peep at the mysterious odd
shaped fighters that are beating the
submarine today. In England they
{ ;rre referred to vaguely as "mys-
itery ships" and 'thuI5h-boats." I'M
aginative people give them fantastic
shapes and endow them with powers
beyond the dreams of the greatest
naval designers. So perhaps the land.
faring folk will be disappointed when
ITS all over and the hush boats come
cut of the haze to be looked at by
rcoport visitors. Privileged visitors
to the great naval bases are extreme
~ retcent about the hush boats. FOR
weeks the newspapers have been
limiting about d thing they know but
have crossed their hearts not to tel
a thing about the new and mysterl-
Gus sea-rowdics which desplse naval
foot-work, but prefer to rush IN
headlong and scrap it out with the U
boat till one or the other goes down

WOULD REFORM CHURCH.
Many Southern Methodists Favor
Proposed Changes.

! TIOpUStu SIduSSo.
Intense interest is being taken b!
Southern Methodists in the move
ment to reform the church in very
radical, and to some minds revolu
tionary, manner. The plan has the
support of some leading laymen Of
! the Baltimore Conference and the
strong opposition of others, and It's
advocates will gather in Chattanooga
kTenn., late this week to launch def
Unite campaign for the proposed re-
FORMS.
The expressed aim of the reform
ers is to democratize the church. and
among the changes proposed are the
Limitation of the authority of the
bishops ir making appointments, the
confinement of their functions to en-
ccutive duties only and the !imita-
/ ton of their terms of office. At pre-
sent their authority is absolute IN
matters of appointment, they are ap-
pointed for life and have practically
I'll the general administrative reins
in their hands.
The reformers want the Genera!
Conference, which meets every Tour
wears, to take over all Legislature
and judicial functions. They desire
the enlargement of the powers OF the
laity by increasing their number III
the annual conferences and by CIV
ing them representation in the bis
hops cabinet, now composed OF inc
nre ,idinr elders of the conference.
They would also do away with inc
INIT rule and the secret sessions of
the bishops.
All these proposed reforms are SCI

run Apou, a -monster."

According TO the ancient writer's, the
basilisk-sometimes called cockatrice-
was "a monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its bEeath filled the air with deadly
poison and burned up vegetation, and
the glance of its eye was fatal to both
man and beast. The only creature that
could face it and live, they said, was
the cock, and travellers were advised to
take loudly Growing cocks with them
as q protection against the monster. So
much for superstition. AS matter of
fact, the basilisk is a harmless lizard
living quiet life in the woods and
feeding on insects. Its appearance,
however, Is formidable, and 1t is this,
perhaps, that gave 1t bad name. 1t
grows to length of from twenty-five
to thirty inches, including its tail,
which is much longer than its body.
Rising from its head and inclining
backward is a broad, wing-like eXpan-
sion which gives it some resemblance
to the flying lizard. The crest of this
expansion is formed somewhat like
crown, and that gave the basilisk its
name, which is from the Greek word
meaning king.-Exchange
