An Incident of Sea War.

William McFee, author of "Casuals
of the Sea-" tells in an English paper,
Land and Water, of an attack by a
submarine upon a steamer and de-
scribes this incident of the engine
room before the boat was sunk: "FOr
those three men (the Officers) stood
by for the better part of an hour. The
stokehold was empty, the steam was
dropping, and there was considerable
water in the bilges, but they stood by
watching the speaking tube and the
blind white face of the telegraph
pointing irresolutely to Stand By (the

NOT COOLEST AT sOLSTICE
Crest of Winter Weather Comes Much
Later Than the Accredited Be-
ginning of That Season.

Though the day as a whole begins to
lengthen December %, we have the
puzzling fact that the sun continues
to rise later for some days, a scientist
states. The earth is actually nearer
to the sun at this season than it is in
summer, but the suns low angle pre-
vents it from warming things up as it
otherwise would.
Though nOTninally "winter begins
December %, this is an arbitrary date,
and everybody knows from experience
that this is not the coolest part of the
year. The crest Of the cold comes in
January and February. The reason for
this lag of the cold season is that in
December the earth is still enjoying
the heat it stored up from the sun in
the summer and it does not cool off
to its maximum point till month or
two later.
In the same way the hottest part
of summer is not at the summer sol
Stice, June q and %, but from a
month to two months later, for it takes
the earth that long to get warmed up.

Officer IGNORED Orders

Early in the war when Field Mar
shall John French and General JOffre
were straining every nerve to hold
back the German advance which they
did finally at the Marine a French gen.
eral, so the story goes, refused to open
orders sent by an officer who had been
promoted over his head. The message,
like the dispatch in the F'ranco-Prus-
sian war, was lost" and a division,
which was left without support, was
almost annihilated. The story goes
that the general was ordered shot.

Training for War.

If Englishmen considered the foot
ball field as the place to win their bat
ties, Prussians have always held that
the best way to prepare for victory is
by training their young officers in the
hunting field, notes a writer. Since
medieval times the chase, especially
on the continent of Europe, has been
advocated by the school of warriors. In
the old days, when men were only in
terested in fighting, and when there
weren't really enough wars to keep a
healthy feudal nobleman continuously
occupied and happy, warning upon
wild animals was discovered to be the
next best thing to warning on humans.

kota, who made rather striking
speech in the senate last week on the
conditions of labor and the extrava-
gance of the government. thinks that
the question of labor might be solved
to some extent If a great many people
who have been idle should be set 10
work. Taking the census figures of
1900, the latest available, he found
that there were males between the ages
of eighteen and sixty-two TO the num-
Der of 6,539,652 who were not en-
ployed In any gainful occupation. Be-
tween the same ages were In round
numbers 25000,000 women who were
not engaged in any remunerative en-
ployment. He said that there were
enough unemployed men to make up
the shortage of labor In the shipbuild-
ing plants and on the farms, and many
women could take the places of men
in their present occupations. But he
did not explain how in this land OF
the free we were going to make these
unemployed 20 TO work either In the
