 Whether travelling southward with shotgun or golf clubs the proper sporting costume must be packed in the trunk-and either costume will have it's points of smartness as well as practicality.

fession of war, was ordained, and became bishop in 1907. In 1922 he became a cardinal. He was 39 when he entered the kings council, and for few years he occupied himself in punishing the Hugenots, because he held them mainly responsible for his first failure to resist Austro-Spanish aggressions. Gradually he rose to despotism in France, and to successful interference in the affairs of Europe.
 As prime minister the great Car dinal ruled kings and nobles imperi- ously, and made France everywhere respected and feared. Popular with a part of the people, he aroused fierce hatred in the breasts of others and when he died on Dec. 4, 1642, hun dreds of thousands of Frenchmen ex-
 pressed their joy by bonfres and other demonstrations. The incidents of his life have been a fruitful source of material for dralnatists and novel;

OUR FIRST PERISCOPE.
The Crude Continuance Was Used on
the Monitor Usage.

The navy department has recent
ly received description of the first
periscope used in the United States
navy, as given by its designer and
left among his papers. According
to the Washington Star, the inven-
tor was Thomas II. Doughty, act
ing chief engineer, who served un-
der Lieutenant Commander Self
ridge on the monitor Usage during
the war between the states.
In the Red river campaign
against Shreveport, La, in which
the Usage took part, Confederate
cavalry continually harassed the
Union ships by sudden attacks
along the banks of the river. I'm
like modern ships, the monitors of
those days were not provided with
places of observation. They were
virtually steel boxes with Sits in
them for aiming the guns. In seek
ing a method of watching the
shore Doughty took piece of ordi-
nary lead pipe and, fitting it with
mirrors at each end, ran it through
a hole in the turret. The scheme
proved successful, and thereafter
the Usage was virtually free from
attack.
When the army sent to take the
city met with reverses and fell back
the fleet, which had made its way
to within thirty miles Of Shreve-
port, returned down the Red river.
Selfridge, in the Usage, was order
ed to protect the rear. The river
at the time was low, and the Usage,
in turning a bend in the river, ran
hard aground.
While an effort was being made
to float the vessel force of 5000
dismounted Confederate cavalry at
tackled it. The low water and the
high riEer bank prevented the
ships fire from reaching the caval-
ry, and it was here that Engineer
Doughty's periscope came into use.
The Confederates could not be seen
until the head of their advancing
columns appeared over the river
bank. A fierce fire swept the deck
of the monitor as the regiments of
the enemy, coming up in columns,
would each fire one volley and then
fall back.
Standing behind the turret, Sell
fridge saw in the reflector of the
periscope the advancing line as it
appeared over the bank. He reserv-
ed his fire until their heads came
into sight and then let drive. This
singular fight was kept up for over
an hour before the Confederates re-
tired with loss of some 400 men
killed and wounded. The loss on ,
the Usage was small.
Thomas Doughty enlisted in the
United States navy in 1862. He
was assigned to duty as an assist !
ant engineer on July 8, 1862, and
promoted to acting chief engineer
Dec. ID, 1862. He died in st. Louis |
in 1896.
