From the time a girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing through is so critical, and may
have such far-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
1t is almost criminal for mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain of headache, pains

Smoke as a Lightning Rod.

It would seem that a building 5000 feet above the sea ievei should be protected by lightning reds, but the astronomical observatory at Mount Etna has not, and does not. need such protection. The observatory Is near the summit of the volcano. and the stream of vapor constantly rising from the crater acts as a natural conductor, draining the electricity out of the clouds, so that lightning Is seldom seen there.

By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. February 23.-Lieut.
Clifford E. Smythe of Chicago, killed
in the Roma disaster, wrote to his
father just after the dirigible's
recent trial flight to Washington that
the airship was so unsafe that it
would "be criminal negligence to fly
her again without making changes In
her construction" according to DR..
j. NJ. Nicholson, a friend of the
Smythe family, who made the letter
public tonight.
1.-THE Roma behaved so badly on
her first trial over Washington that
she was declared unsafe" said the
letter, according to DR.. Nicholson.
and a majority of those on board
were advised to make the return trip
by train. If anything has been done
to alter her, except to change the
engines, l do not know what it is. 1t
looks to me like criminal negligence
to fly her without making changes in
her construction. But, what can I
do?
THE dirigible seemed sluggish and
slow to respond to the controls
While she ended the trip all right.
she disobeyed her rudder several
times in way that was alarming.
The result was that on her return
trip from Washington unnecessary
passengers and all members OF the
crew who could be spared were ad-
Vtsed to go back By train"
Robert Smythe, jr., Lieut.. Smythe's
brother, said Lieut.. Smythe made the
return trip from Washington by boat.

ROME, February 22.-Gen. de

service, today declined to discuss the
possible cause Of the disaster to the
great American airship Roma. which
was purchased from Italy. He de-
clared the scant technical fnforma-

destruction Of the air ship did not
afford sufficient ground on which to
form an opinion.
The newspapers today print
columns regarding the accident and

the Roma during her building and
trips she ma,le in Italy.
The expressions of grief were
general in aviation circles here today.
as many Of the crew Of the iIlfated
Roma had made many friendships
among the Italian officers and with
Italian families. The Americans were
familiar figures on the streets of
Rome for many months. They virtu-

LONDON MARKETS
HOLD STURDY TONE
Get First Taste Of What
Might Follow Continental
Collapse.

Special Gable to THE NEW YORK HnRALp.
Copyright, 1899, by THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London. Aug. 27.
The sturdy London markets got their
first taste last week of what a continen-
tai collapse might bring. On Friday
when marks touched 1900 to the
pound sterling and francs also were
slumping, Paris sold heavily. especially
ir African mining shares. and despite
the palpable value OF those shares the
entire market hero received a nervous
shock. Against the huge uncertainties
OF the continental political developments,
however, the markets gave distinctly
hopeful Indications both as regards
domestic and foreign business such as
China and India textiles. There was a
fair demand for these with general con-
ditions appearing more stable. There
also were favorable reports of the home
railway operations and the market on
the whole remained steady.
This condition was IN spite OF the
stringency OF money, the lessening of
quotations on gilt edged securities and
the heavy dumping in certain war loan
lines.
One optimistic forecast of the effect
here of the condition OF the continental
markets Is that as the continental cur
Iencies continue to drop there will be
buying orders from the continent from
those anxious to place their funds In the
stabler and more profitable British Sc
curities. The market has taken the
changing course of the French RAILWAYS
and rentes as the best barometer of how
the political pendulum will swing
