ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN SHIPS.

Each of the six battle cruisers
now building, recently referred TO
IN these diSpatches-the ConStitu-
ton, Constellation, Ranger, Lcxing-
ton, Saratoga and United States
VIII carry electrical installation of
lS0,000 horsepower. sufficient to
supply light and power TO a CITY OF
|OO,0O0 inhabitants. In the words
OF Rear Admiral r. S. Griffin, Chief
OF the Bureau of Engineering of
the United States navy, these ships
Will contain "thc greatest horse
power per shaft that has ever been
projected in any marine installa-
ton, irrespective of the type of
motive power"
These ships will be the longest
lighting crafts in the world, length
S74 feet, beam 105 feet. draft 81
feet, weight 13.50O tons. They will
be capable of speed of 1876 knots.
Zach Will have eight huge electric
motors, 10 feet in diameter. weigh
ing 223,OOO pounds, with a horse
power capacity each of 22,5OO.
These motors will be connected in
pairs to each of the four propeller
shafts and will be capable of turn
ing the blades at 800 revolutions a
minute. Any one of these cruisers
Will create enough power to oper-
ate so large merchant ships-and
yet create not more than enough
for its own nceds,so complicated
are the electrical devices these
ships will carry.

am a widow with several mar
ried daughters, which has given me
a little taste Of sons-in-law. When
! was married thirty-six years ago,
my husband owned the home that he
took me to as a bride, and from
that moment we began saving and
at his death had Q considerable
sum saved. In the meantime our
children grew old enough to marry.
The men they married could not
furnish two rooms, therefore they
came back to me, the mother-in-
law, to spend what my husband had
left at his death.
After time elapsed, poker games,
and other sports occurred nightly,
consequently the wives were neg
lected. When i, the mother-in-
l interfered.
My opinion from now on. is Tor
all young girls to see that the men
they marry have a good position
and are able to own their own
homes, instead of living with
mother-in-law, thereby doing them
selves and their mothcrs-in-law
great injustice.
Let the next young man that is
only a cakc-eater, who has not a
cent to his name, take his wife to
his home and 1 will wager that they
both will be sitting on the curb
stone. Marriage therefore, cannot
be successful as long as the couple
live with their "in-laws."

OBJECT OF MARRIAGE
TO RAISE CHILDREN.

If the contracting parties have a
right understanding as to what
marriage is, and why the State per-
mits and legalizes 1t, there Is much
greater chance of it's proving a
success.
Marriage Is the legalized contract
for the establishment OF a home.
the chief object of which Is to rear
citizens for the State.
The home Is the base upon which
a nation is built, and anything that
tends to destroy the homes Of ma
tion strikes at the life Of that ma
tion.
Marriage is a success when from
the home resulting from that union
there come forth citizens who have
been taught in the home to have re-
spect for their parents, to have re-
spect for the Jaws Of the country,
to know what discipline and obedi-
ence means.
Marriage is a failure IL the home
turns loose criminals and anarchists.
In homes where motherhood is
considered honorable. and where the
children arc welcomed into the
world by parents with open arms to
be cared for, loved, and protected:
marriage is a success.
In homes where children are not
wanted, and are viewed as nui-
sances, for the existence of which
each parent blames the other
marriage is a sad failure.
In two many instances the con-
tracing parties mistake lust for
love, or animal desire for human
affection. Animals mate for one
season only, and in that season their
offspring mature, while II requires
a quarter of a century at least for
human beings to accomplish the
same results, so II is not fair to
compare man with the lower ami
mails or to look to the other ami
mails for prcccndent. 5. I. l..

THE WITNESS OF THE SUN. BY Henry

day, Page & Company.
In an office in the middle thirties
in New York lay prosperous pro-
moter dead, shot in broad Day
light without a soul hearing the
report and with no clue to the as
sassin. Opposite the promoters
window was the office of a Mexican
who had a grudge against him; at
the time Of the murder an airplane
was circIing round, dropping bombs
containing pamphlets; over in
Brooklyn was a man who would
benefit by John Hheobolds death;
the dead mans secretary was en-
gagged to Theobold's stenographer,
and the rich man had paid her
marked attention--thisi is the basis
Of a fascinating mystery story
which is solved by photography.
In tho court room the evidence Is
thrown on the screen: ii Is so con-
elusive that the reader. like the
Jury, is absolutely convinced. Yet
is 1t "rcally to be believed?" The
denouemcut is as surprising as it is
