n 1888 an embryo vamp opened
wide. staring eyes to gaze at this
world for the first time. She look
ed up at the rude ceiling of the
hut in which she was born and de-
cided it didn't suit her taste an interior
decorating. She let out one awful yell.
Our daughter cries so sweetly;
let's call her Martha" explained the
parents.
So Martha was labeled. and when
her parents departed this sphere a
sky pilot named Pastor Gluck took
her to raise. Mrs. Gluck couldn't
hand Martha much, so as soon as pos
sible she donated her to Johan. a
Swedish dragoon. Johan sounds like
he belonged to the Odonata family of
insects. but he was really a soldier.
Martha was kinder fed up on praying
around all of the time, so Johan look
ed pretty good. She made good
wife, never calling her husband a
big SWede, and pulling him home
nights when he'd had too much
vodka,

The Russians stormed the place, and
among the prisoners was Martha. She
was TO be'sold as slave. One day a
prince named Menshikov CHANGED to
stroll by to give the slave girls the
double o. Martha dried her stage
fright tears, threw out her chest and
winked at the prince. Thereby the
prince made a purchase and Martha
made a slave.
THE princes idea of a good time
wasn't to last long. Time he
got back to Moscow Peter the Great
called to see if Menshikov mad any
thing he wanted. Martha served the
drinks.

have had Martha tied and brought
back to his castle. but that would
have spoiled her sweet disposition,
and sweet disposition in Russia is
rare thing to find. So he tried an
mother plan.
You shall marry me-" he ex-
claimed. and Martha became his NOR
ganatic wife and her daughter was
his morganatic child.
Just about this time some wild
Turk wrote Pete a blackhand letter
and made him mad. So he went
down to wipe Turkey off the map.
And nothing would do but Martha
, must cut her hair, don Sam Brown
belt and overseas helmet, check her
offspring in a day nursery and go
with Peter She won herself a wide
welcome on the way. The Turks,
with a whale of an army, surrounded
Peter and were about to make an
exhibition of him at the state fair
when Martha vamped the grand
vizer and Won Fete back to Russia.
When Pete got home he was 80
tickled over Martha's usefulness that
he tied the can to Queen Eudoxia,
who looked just like her name
sounded, and made Martha the Queen
of Russia He made her take the
nom de plume of Catherine to hide
her plebian origin. !.
AS Catherine the first, Martha made
quite a hit with the people of Russia.
She went to war with Peter. more
from a political standpoint than a
desire to found a legion of death.
She knew that Peter was getting on
in wears and she wanted to make a
hit with the Russian people SO that
when Peter uttered his last oath she
would have some chance if she want
ed to run for office.

had but one affair. She fell in love-
the bedchamber." This title had
something honorary to do with Peters
bedroom. Possibly he hung. up Peters
nightie.
CATHERINE was pretty far gone
over William. She had planned to
give up all hope of ever amounting
to anything in politics, and loped
with the gentleman by way of fast
sleighs through Siberia. The lovers
were to meet at Peters hunting
lodge, which was miles from the
palace.
Thither. through the snow and ice,
plodded Catherine-she was afraid to
tell Peter she wanted a sleigh, be-
cause he might have decided to go
wood-carrier's cart and rode to the
lodge. There she waited, with the
fast horses hitched to the sleigh out
side, stamping impatienuy. But Will
liam never came to the lodge.
When Catherine reached home that
night, having no other place to go.
she went to her room. and there. on
her vanity dresser. in an immense
handwrought glass bowl, rested the
head of her sweet William, preserved
in alcohol.
Deprived of her loved one, Gather
inc kept her mind on her business
from that time on. She made up her
mind that she would be queen or
nothing Catherine had never even
been to grammar school, but she was
right there on the go with good old
horse sense. And when Peter died
she vamped her first friend, Prince
Menshikov, who was head of the
party of progress, and got herself
elected queen of all Russia. She
ruled alone until she died.

realize that 1t would be much
easier to come back to New York and
get a degres than to stay on there
and try to convince them that / was
not exactly an ignoramus, and that

slider alton. 1t was a compromise In
the interest of ambition. hope even
tually.to go into politics, and 1 fancy
to the fact that 1 shall be the first
Chinese woman to be a bachelor OF
commercial science. Almost every
girl I met in Shanghai was B. A. or
an NJ. A., and at first found 1t very
amusing to see the Importance they
attach to a degree. 1t is all SO new
to them And just because they do
feel that way about it I am here TAX
ing studies in which | have not the
slightest interest, so that ], too, may
have degree.
When return to China ] shall not
bury myself in a business Office. My
father is a successful man and / have
always observed that he loafs a good
deal and plays lot, and he is my
model. I shall use some of my rec
rea alton time lecturing to audiences Of
college graduates on the feminine

CH He may run the risk of offending
young men and women of the edu-
Gated circle when she sets out TO in
form them that, modern as they i'm
agire themselves to be, they are,
after all, very old ia shioned. The an
cient Chinese tradition, she recalls,
was too likely to reverence scholar
ship for its own sake. She can tell
about obscure huts in the interior of
China where people are in squalor
and making no effort to better their
condition, but who point to a deco
rated pole beside the door that blazes
to the world the information that CEN
turies ago there was scholar in the
family.
TOO many Chinese youths who
have been educated in America have
inherited that tradition" Miss Phang

would be possible for them to become
useful to the country. l could get a
perspective of them, because / have

dom and accomplishment. When l

fleet that one day / shall have to

electromagnetic Brakes.

IN England there is an electro mag
netic brake for street cars 1t con-
sists of a horseshoe electromagnet sus-
pended on spiral springs. and hung in
such manner that the poles of the
magnet are directly over the rails When
the magnet is excited. the poles are
forced downward so that the shoes of
the brake grip the rail. BY system Of
levers connecting with the wheel-rim
hand-brakes Of the car the reaction of
the shoes OF the electromagnetic brake
in gripping the rails increases the pres
sure Of the hand-brakes also. The brake
is not actuated by the current that
drives the car. but by an independent
current derived from the momentum of
the car, and the interruption of the
driving current, instead Of preventing
the action of the brake, causes it to act
automatically.
