Warship Captain Lonely, Yet

Tradition and the exigencies Of his
position impose lonely sort of exist

the London Mail. Amid the dense pop
ulation of the floating steel island over
which he rules with autocratlc sway
the captain lives life Of solitude.

Of the wardroom or the merry round
Of the care-free fear-free: irresponsl-

are things Of the past. In his apart

isolation. with sentry "on the door"

Ingenious Defense Scheme
Was Fertilization Of Coast
To Derange stius' compasses

One Of the most unique defensive
measures ever proposed to the United
States government was the fortiiica-
ton of the coast with giant magnets
that would derange the compass OF
any hostile ship that might attempt
a surprise attack, says a writer. That
was back in the nineties. and as the
suggestion came from a well-known
officer OF the engineer corps II was
decided to test the theory. According
ly huge magnet was built near New
York city. by means OF two cannon,
ton Of steel rails and few miles OF
insulated wire. The rails were laid
across the butt of the cannon TO Con
nect' them and the wire was wound
about their firing end. When the cur
rent from big dynamo was turned In
TO this magnet II developed surprising
power.
Although 1t would not draw the nails
out Of passing ships, as the lode stone
mountain did to the vessel or Sinbad
the Sailor. II was guaranteed by Its
inventor to disarrange the compass of
any ship within six miles. II the coast
was ever attacked by an enemy fleet
under cover Of darkness or fog. this
officer argued. the magnet would so
completely upset the compasses Of the
enemy that his ships would be more
likely to run ashore than to make a
successful attack.
Records are unobtalnable OF just
how far this assertion was borne out
BY the experiment. In any event. the
magnet was built and remained intact
for some time. But there was no at
tempt to extend the plan, and ulti-
mately II went into the discard, thus
marking the end OF an ingenious
scheme which seemed to have some re-
markable possibilities.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
Real Houses Are Best.
Real houses for poultry are best.

Real houses for poultry are BEST.
Mnke-shlft affairs for the fowls sell
dom produce results.
Certnin requirements are necessary,
even though the poultry house Is
raade Of old boxes.
h'--.ins poultry is only successful
Whef natn-sl conditions are provided
Tor as nearly as possible.
Such conditions are readily provid-
ed by the poultryman who desires to
make poultry keeping pay.
When planning the poultry house It
Is advisable to consider the essentials
required for the promotion Of the
fowls health under sanitary and COM
Portable conditions.
The poultry house should be sim
pie In construction. and economically
arranged for performing the work
necessary In handling flock Of poul-
try.
Some of the important essentials
for planning the poultry house ls abso-
lutte dryness. ample light, with the nee
essary ventilation.
The comfort Of the fowls must al
ways be carefully considered In the
construction Of the poultry house.
Without comfort and ease Of at
tending the fowls, as regards sanlta-
tlon and healthfulness, there is little
need Of going farther In the busi-
ness.
Poultry do not require expensive
or artificial conditions, but |
rather TO the contrary.
When the poultry house is made
plain, substantial, and equipped with
Interior fittings that will afford easy
,leanlng for keeping out vermin, the
plan Is a good one.
The size of poultry house Is
problem that must be solved by the
builder. according to the space and
the system adopted.
But there are certain rules that
should govern the breeder when plan
ming his poultry house that must be
observed.
When fowls are to be confined they
need more floor space than when they
are permitted to range.
Four square feet per fowl IL con-
sidered ample space under ordinary
a A
rantageous when fowls are free to
range.
The width Of houses should never
be narrow for their length, and Il
feet In width is much better and cheap
er than narrow house.
A house 20 by % feet will accom-.
modnte 100 fowls nicely when emple

"A DAUGHTER OF THE GODS

While Annette Kellermann has not
deserted the art that has brought her
fame and fortune, in her latest pic
ture she makes bid for honors as an
emotional actress. Her efforts in this
direction in the William Fox million
dollar" film production, ga Daughter
of the Gods" were so ingeniously sur
rounded by aquatic and other environ
ment that the brief dramatic scenes
in which Miss Gellermann appeared,
as to give little or no opportunity to
judge her historionic talents. You
may be as suggestive as you like in
the matter of dialogue or in song on
the English speaking stage, but must
be attired in plenty of clothing. The
former is regarded as art, the latter
intention. But in motion pictures true
art is often visualized sans habili-
ments.
From the standpoint Of production,
"a Daughter of the Gods" is without
question one of the most stupendous
exhibitions of pageantry ever shown
and is most artistically directed. An
entire city was apparently construct
ed for the express purpose of being
burned down while the camera
clicked. Thousands of people were
photographed upon land and water.
There are huge battle scenes, beauti-
full mermaids, wonderfully effective
waterfalls, ghomes, nymphs, and so
on, until you are fairly spellbound
with the enormity Of the undertaking.
All of which is designed to show to
the best advantage Miss Kellermann
in her artistic diving speciality, clad
most Of the time only with hirsute
adornment, but, as before stated, so
arranged as not to give offense to the

paniment, composed by Robert Hood
Bowers, serves to enhance the beau

At the bona fide and unsolicited re-
quest of many friends and promin-
ent citizens of this district I have
become candidate for State Senator
of this 4Sth Legislative District.
If elected as your servant to that
honorable Office, as I hope to be,
among the many other important
measures that need consideration to
which I will refer from time to time
as the campaign progresses, I wish
to call especially to your attention
the following things for which I
stand:
LIST. Undiluted Americanism, 100
per cent strong, and a loyal and I'M
wagering support of the administra-
ton in a vigorous and successful
prosecution of the war.
End. Rigid enforcement of laws
and square deal to all.
3rd. Strictest economy in the ap-
preparation and disbursement of pub
lie moneys.
4th. Adequate and proper drain
age laws tending to rescue them from
the entangled snarl in which they
are now involved, so that a farmer
may drain his lands without confisca-
ton.
5th. For Greater Minnesota,
and the rapid development of the
farming interests of our district, in
Guiding proper laws regulating the
distribution of commodities and the
marketing of farm products that will
tend to unite town and country and
not divide them
9Th A just and equitable ton
mage tax law so drawn as to make
the great steel corporations bear
their just burdens Of the government,
and other progressive legislation con-
sistent with the needs and require
ments Of the district.
Due to the nature Of things shall
not be able to personally see all the
voters before the primaries, but I
shall however, try through my
friends and the press to make the
principles for which I stand well
known to all, and IL I should have
the honor to serve you in the Senate,
I shall endeavor to do so with the
utmost fidelity and zeal and hold my
self to a strict accountability to serve
all the people Of the district with
impartiality and fairness. ANY sup
port rendered me in this contest will
be greatly appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
TH0S. J. MANGAN.
