Sims himself refused to accept. the
highest OF oil the honors bestowed.
has been awarded to an officer whose
chief distinctions are, first, that no
was beaten in action and lost his SHIP
and second. that he Is near relative
OF the secretary VI the navy. On tho
other hand. the secretary refused to
award medal to a distinguished OF
ficor who had received the unanimous
! Recommendation OF the board which
had been specially appointed for the
purpose Of recommending awards: an
officer, 1t may be added. between whom
and the secretary of the navy some
differences OF opinicn had recently
arisen. Still another distinguished Of
ficcr unanimously recommended by
tho board was rejected by the secre-
tary--an officer who happens to be re-
lated to a prominent republican sena-
cor. Again, the rear admiral who COM
manGed one OF the chief squadrons OK
the navy all thru the war and rendered
service of supreme importance, recsiv-
ed q much lower decoration than q
Lieutenant who commanded q single
destroyer and lost II IN his first &C
ton. But then the admiral was not,
like the lieutenant. a near relative Of
the secretary OF the navy.
OF course it may be that all these
things can be satisfactorily explained.
IL mas be that the man who gets beat
en- is more worthy Of reward than the
man VINO wins. 1t may be that the
oivilisn secretary of tho navy is a bet
ter judge OF merit In action than the
expert board OF officers constituted
for the purpose. or than the command
ing officers of the fleet who personally
saw The services rendered. Since his
experiences IN Hawaii, Sir Jossphus
is assumed to be past master in au-
thority on decorations. Yet there are
those, not only from Missouri. who
will await explanation OF such circun-
stances as we have cited before they
regard theru as impeccabie; and who
meanwhile will be unable to rid them
selves of the feeling that Admiral
Sims would not have taken 80 extra
ordinary course without making sure
OF his ground.
This is no mere BIT OF personal riv-
airy. nor a question CT comparative
ranks and merits. suon as arose at the
end Of our, war with Spain. II Is
matter which involves the honor Of
the navy and the integrity Of the ad-
ministration. Upon its determination
hangs the question whether naval dec
orations for service in the great war
are to DO valued tokens Of merit or
mere neretricious junk. Awarded I'M
partially. by competent authority, for
merit in service. they would be pre-
cious possessions and heirlooms to
future generations. Awarded at the
personal caprice or favor Of Josephus
Daniels. their value would be p1easur-
ed by their weight ana the market
price Of the metal of which they were
composed.--Harveys Weekly.

SPIDERS THREAD HAS VALUE
Practically indispensable In the Con-
struetion Of Telescopes for the
Astronomer.

The threads of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers In their tele-
scopes for the purpose OF giving fine
lines to the field OF view. by which
the relative positions Of stars may be
accurately measured.
For century astronomers desired
10 make use OF such lines OF the great
est possible fineness. and procured at
first silver wire drawn out 10 the ex-
IRENE limit OF tenuity attainable with
.hat metal. They also tried hairs
t1-500th OF an inch thick). and threads
Of the slkworm's cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only 1-2OOth Of an inch thick. But
In 1920 an English instrument-ma
named Throughton introduced the
spiders line. This can be readily OBJ
tanned three or four times smaller
than the silkworm's thread. and has
also advantages In Its strength and
freedom from twist.
In order TO obtain the thread the

Victory Of COURAGE,

The man or woman who ventures
much may fall often. but he Will
achieve In proportion to those very
failures because he will use each one
as a stepping stone to higher effort.
But the man or woman who Quib-
bles. reconsiders, hesitates and weighs
every gain against G greater loss Is a
predestIned failure. because his very
attitude should be avoided.
He who falls with his face forward
In the battle Is not a failure. but a
hero. Failure lies In turning the back
on the foe. to retreat before the en-
envy.
When we speak Of success we
should not think In terms or money
or position or fame. but OF moral
courage. high endeavor. honorable
achievement. And when these are
translated into active service the
world will become that Utopia of
which so much has been written and
sung.-AIIlwaukee Sentinel.

Heioht of Sea Waves.

The records of average height In
feet observed at sea are approximate
by equal to half the velocity OF the
wind In statute miles per hour. For
those occasions on which the wind has
had as full opportunity as 1t ever en-
lows OF doing Its work. direct proper
tionality still holds good. but the con-
slant Is higher. 1t has been found
that seven-tenths best satisfies the
available observations between a
strong breeze and a whole gale. The
same simple proportion. however. does
not hold when dealing with the heights
corresponding TO the gentlest breezes.
The highest waves finally formed are
those travelling at a velocity which f.
equal. within the error Of observation
% that Of the wind.-Brooklyn Eagle.
