2OTH. ANNIVERSARY
 OF MAINE DISASTER
Patriotic Demonstrations Held on Day of Destruction of
 Battleship.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 15.-The 20th anniversary of the destruction of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor was made the occasion of sev- eral notable patriotic demonstrations here today. Patriotic and military or ganizations and representative of all branches of the regular military ser- vice participated in the exercises at Arlington National Cemetery, where many of the sailors and marines who perished in the disaster are buried. Floral tributes from President Wilson and the President of Cuba were plac- ed on the Maine anchor and mast in the cemetery. This afternoon the memory of the Maine dead was fur ther honored with impressive exer- cises held in the riding hall at Fort Myer under the auspices of the Dis trict of Columbia branch of the Span- ish War Veterans.
 The blowing up of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana on Feb. 15. 1898, resulted in the loss of 266 officers and men of the United States Navy, and suggested the cry of Remember the Maine" which be- came the slogan of the Spanish

o'clock and the condition of the coal bunkers, storage compartments and boilers such that the hypothesis of an internal explosion was absurd.
 The Spanish authorities at Havana reported that the disaster was due to an internal explosion and proposed a joint inquiry by representatives of this government and those of Spain. The government in Washington reject ed this proposal and appointed nav al board of inquiry to investigate. These officers examined the wreck and found the bottom plates bent upward, forming a great arch, and portion of the forward keel blown through the body of the ship and protruding above the deck thirty-siX feet in vertical distance from its original position. Underneath the arch was hole in the mud fifteen feet indiameter and sev- en feet deep.
 The conclusions of the court of in- quiry were that the loss of the Maine was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on the part of any of- ficers or crew; that the ship was des- troyed by the explosion of a subma- rine mine, but that no evidence had been found to show who exploded the mine.
 Congress appropriated $50,0O0,000 for national defense shortly after the sinking. and President Mckinley, on April 20. dispatched an ultinatium to Spain. Spain declared war April 24, and the United States on the follow ing day

Pet Animals Sold for Charity.

In these days, when nearly every. body in Britain is giving up something to the cause of the war, pet animals have played prominent part as form of war charity. People have giv- en their dogs and cats to charitable Institutions to be auctloned off to raise money for wounded soldiers. So many Insalable pets have been offered as to make them burden to the animal protection societies. At a recent sale many of the cats and dogs were so old, decrepit and dirty that no bids could be ob:ained for them, that they were banded over to the societies to be cut to death by gas.

American war.
 The battleship had been in Havana three weeks at the time of the dis
 aster, having been sent there on a
 friendly visit and at the same time to protect American interests and residents at time when the Cuban re- volt against Spain had reached crit ical staye. The Maine was in com mand of Captain Charles D. Sigsbee. She was moored in berth assigned by the naval authorities of Havana. It was at least used buoy in the harbor, one that had not been previously oc- cupied by a war vessel for many years. The Spaniards at Havana re- sented the presence of the American man. -of-war and threats were uttered against the ship and her crew
 At $40 o'clock on the night of February 15, while the majority of the crew were asleep, double eX- plosion occurred forward directly un- der their quarters. which rent the ship in to, causing her to sink almost instantly. Out of a complement of 360 souls, two officers and 264 men were killed by the explosion or drown ed and sixty were taken out injured
 The first explosion, according to the statements of those on board, lifted the forward part of the ship perceptiblv. After a short interval the second explosion occurred. being more open and prolonged. The for ward part of the vessel was shattered, while the after part was left practical Nv intact. It was shown in reports by the officers that the temperature of the vessel was normal at eight

TeIltaIe Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt when all the other muscles are controlled. This you will learn in the eleventh chapter of Darwin's book. Sometimes, when the face is controlled, as i'll the case of natives of India, other muscles are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine declares that in India the judge can tell when native is lying by watch ing his toes. He keeps his face per fectly straight and his eyes express sionless, but his toes begin to wjggie as soon as he begins to lie.
