counteractina Submarine.

The warship of the present day is
q compromise between what we deem
best and what we deem essential. The
torpedo-proof bottom has become es-
sential; therefore we must give up
guns or armor or speed or something
else In order to get it. On the other
hand 1t is probable that battleships
and battle cruisers will not hereafter
be supplied with torpedoes. Since ac-
tons are now fought at enormous
ranges, and since vessels can be sunk
by gunfire alone. torpedoes on big-gun
ships are now useless. Omitting the
torpedo tubes will save little weight
but it will leave space for more am
munition. A writer suggests that high
speed rams with bows of proper shape
and requisite strength to sink under
water craft will again come into use.

Mouse Fights Snakes.

Everyone has heard of the remark
able combats of the Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes, In which little
rikkitikki-tavvi comes off victor. The
fact that the mongoose invariably
survives has led to the suggestion
that 1t is immune to snake poison.
Other animals said to be immune are
the pig and the hedgehog.
The experiments of a British nat
uralist show that an animal of the
dormouse family must be added to the
list of immune. This animal Is known
as the lerot and is said to fight fierce
ly with vipers. Large doses of vi
per's poison were injected into one
lerot from which injection no i'll eff
fects followed. On one occasion a
lerot was badly bitten in the eye by
a viper and no signs of poisoning fol-
lowed.

MOST FAMOUS OF PALACES
Building Constructed by Brunelleschi
for Count Pitt Is the Glory
Of Florence, Italy.

No country is richer In beautiful
these have now become the property
of the nation, so that the taxpayer is
indirectly responsible for the general
good while preserving their dignity
and safeguarding their treasures.
Throughout Italy. from Turin to Paler-
mo, these monuments to the genius
of the Middle ages are to be found.
but perhaps none is so famous as the
Pitt palace at Florence, built upon
a hill above the Arno with the beauti-
full Boboli gardens stretching behind 1t.
Count Pitt, chief magistrate Of Flor
ence in the fifteenth century, desiring
to outrival Cosimo de- Medici, set him.
self to build a palace which should
be the wonder Of Italy. He employed
the architect Brunelleschi, whom
Cosimo when building his own palace
had passed over because of his magnif-
icent disregard for expenditure, and
Brunelleschi was given free hand.
Pitt, however, fell into disgrace for
plotting against the son of CosimO
and no workman could be found to
continue his half-completed palace.
Thus for century 1t was to remain,
until Eleanor of Toledo once more
took 1t in hand and 1t became-oh,
strange irony the home of the Medi-
cean grand dukes. The Pitt was not
actually finished until 1889. The sight
seer is aware as he wanders through
this vast building today, and gazes
at its walls lined with five hundred
! pictures, most of them masterpieces,
! that he is rather in royal palace than
picture gallery, and he doubts not
the truth of Macchavelli's verdict
that the Pitt palace ''is greater and
more splendid than the house of any
other private citizen whatsoever"

idea of the association Is to help viii

rather than with what other people
think they ought to have; the associa-
ton helping them, but not debating in
any way. This may well be the seed
of a very big movement. and is a note
worthy sign of the times.

He laughed. Something altogether

he pursued, But out here in the woods
well, it's out here in the woods.
You've got toA-Heu!"
The exclamation was surprised out
OF him. The girl had suddenly drop
ped her side of the basket and whirled.
But quick as she was, he was
quicker. AS the basket clattered to the
ground he seized her arm. There fol-
lowed some muttered words, and a
smothered cry that the Pearlhunter
was too busy tust then to under
stand.
The girl was still struggling, her
assailant muttering, and trying to de-
tain her without too great show Of
violence, when a grim facs. 'scowled
up from behind the fence, a long arm
shot over, the fingers Of calloused
hand twisted themselves into the COL
lar OF the assailant and slammed him
back against the rail with a force that
took the breath out Of him in a grunt.
Nor was that all. The same long arm
dragged him backward over the fence
and chucked him head first down into
the path on the other side, where for
a moment he lay half stunned. gasping
for the breath that had as good as
gone, and gazing half foolishly up at
the man who stood over him.
There Is just one thin to expect in
such a situation; but the expected
failed to happen. For the second time
that day the Man-in- the Fancy-Vest
treated the PearIhunter to very
genuine u rpriss q. The flame of
anger in his eyes slowly changed to a
naughty contempt, infinitely ranking.
He turned. and, without a backward
glance, stalked down the road toward
the village.
The Pearlhunter stood gazing after
him. The Red Mask-and he hadn't
struck. Each time there had been
death in his eyes. What was holding
his hand? Was he biding bis time?
1t was not pleasant thing to con-
template, for any man can kill an
other If he waits his opportunity, and
takes him at a disadvantage.
Why hadn't he struck? Always the
question came back to that. And what
was holding him to the Flatwoods?
The Pearlhunter whirled with the
thought, and looked back over the
fence.
The girl was gone.
The basket and bundles were still
scattered about the path. He climbed
the fence and began gathering them
up. He had them all back lin the
basket, and was leaning against the
fence, wondering how to get them to
their owner, when O. slight rustic
among the bushes reached his ear.
He glanced up; the girl stood before
him.
1t was the girl Of the pool--the
Wild Rose. .

ARE YOU WITH US?

The men OF Pensacola do not need
to be told their duty today.
The boys and girls have already
pointed it out to them.
They have known 1t q long time.
They knew 1t last winter, when the
old Gypsy SMITH Tabernacle was sc
cold that for several days the school
had to be closed.
They knew 1t the day that the High
School students left the school in pro-
test.
They knew 1t when the children
came home from school and reported
that the storm had wrecked many OF
the windows and that parts of the
taAegnacie had been flooded.
they knew It when, as summer came
on, they heard the boys and girls talk
Of sweltering in the school rooms.
They knew their duty then and they
know 1t now
They know that when they go to en-
TREATMENTS at the Tabernacle build
ing the seats are so small and they
are so cramped when they get home
they need a Swedish massage 10
straighten them out again.
They know that whenever a strar1-
ger comes to Pensacola and asks them
about the high school they equivo-
cate.
They know that they take friends
on another street, when they are show
ing the sights of the town.
The Pensacola High School Is Pen
sacola's Disgrace.
To-day the voters Of Pensacola will
cast their ballots for or against $780,
600 worth of bonds required in the
