MB.- Bonaparte of Baltlmor th grandson of a king and grand ' nephew of th greatest -of French emperor President Roosevelt' new secretary of the navy, sat In his splendid country house over looking one of Maryland's greenest val- , leys, snd uttered hi thoughts about tne ' men nower of America. He did not speak; he Is too csrsful of Ms words for that. But ha wrote, stop. ping occasionally (a rub out and rewrite his words; for there Is no trace in xnis son of the Bonaparte family of the fire and daah that carried the steel or. con quering Franca acroia Europe to Mos- -cow. .i , . , a. Not'that Mr. Bonaparte was unwilling to deliver himself through a .newspaper that agent of democratiq civilisation so heartily cur by ile ancaaton hut, ... being a lawyer and a man of extremely 'cautious temperament, he would not truar himself to discuss a great Amerl ' can navy viva voce. .- - - . - Here la what the new secretary' of the . . navy wrote "I sympathise heartily with the presi dent's policy of building up and main ; talnlng a very strong and very efficient . navy; If ,1 did not I could not accept the position he has tendered me. I mean by a very strong navy ona able to hold its own In any combination of clrcum - . stancea which can be reasonably antici pated; and by a very efficient navy one ready at any moment-to do whatever work the country may demand of It, and to do this work ,aa well . as- It can' be dorie. -'. . , : . . . . "Economy is eminently desirable In very department of the government tn the sense that It Is a breach of trust on the part of public officers to let pub- lie money be wasted; but if w wish a good thing we must be ready to pay for it, and the coat of a navy which will thoroughly protect the country's' Inter : Kat and insure the country's safety whatever . may betide us' will be. In my humble judgment, a very paying In- vestment."- ,- , .'. "Do you ee any danger of promoting militarism among the American people , through an increase of the navyT" , T "I rn not affected by any auch feara. 'Militarism' is a word often used with a very misty and Indeterminate aenaa of us real meaning; If I rlahtlr under. stand what la meant by It In thla ln- - stance, inose wno usa it think tha Amer ican-nation can be preserved from iniquity or folly in its dealings with other nations only by a. consciousness of weaiiness ana consequent danger, or, in other words, that we cannot be trusted ..' to do "tht unless w ar afraid to do 3 Wrong; I do not share these views." -"President Roosevelt has declared that there Is a plain lesson to be read in the , results or the recent naval buttle in Asia, wnat lesson do you seer' : "I am hot prepared to-discuss dues.

It waa night time, and Mr. Bonaparte sat at a small oaken desk In his study, writing by the light of a candle aet In a green and white candlestick, a sturdy. 'patient, methodical personality, very far , removed from the type one would expect ' in' tha grandson of a king. There Is little of tha great Napoleon to baaeen lit tha fact or fiauie of his American grandnephew. Tha conqueror ' of continental Europe waa short. Mr. Bonaparte Is tall.

In spite of his devotion to th Catholic church, and the seal he 'has h9wn!n.JUs jLMereateU-ha h no 1n of the high-top head which Is supposed to go with tHe. religious mind. ' The widen ea a of the head over the' ears is elonuent of a Cautions - nature. ' which holds its fighting qualities in firm dis cipline. The overhang of the back head Indicates natural domesticity. , At, first glance Mr. Bonsparte strikes one as a strong, healthy man, rond ot high living and of a hearty. Jovial .dis position. He laughs easily, and his powerful frame snaxes when ne laugns. But presently It Is apparent that it Is a mere- nervous habit. Tha heavy eye lids close In bunched wrinkles at every gust Of merriment. But the laugh dies down Into a deep mechanical bass, and when the countenance cleara the careful droop of the upper eyelids and the sud den nursing of the lips remove all suggestion of gaiety. '' Mr. Bonaparte speaks slowly and In a deep voice. - He hesitates at words and sometimes finishes a sentenea with tha wave a plump hand and an lnvolun tary chuckle. It la something of an omen that the grandson of a king should go Into the cabinet of president ooseveit, . said a Well ha ha there may be persons ha, ha who attach importance to that sort of things, but ha, ha I don't pay -much attention to ha, ba, ha"- and gesture of the hand. The truth Is that Mr. Bonaparte does not ordinarily care to discuss his blood descent from royalty. ' "I am a native American," he said the other day, "and my blood is thoroughly Americanised. , . . ' It Is a singular thing that Mr. Bona parte, although he Is M years old and a man of great wealth arid culture, has never seen Corsica.;- where his family waa founded, - nor has he ever visited France, where the great Napoleon lies under the gilded dome of the Invalldes. He has never been In any part of Europe. His elder brother, went back to France and served in the French army, but the new secretary of -tha havy har-nerer Shown the slightest desire to witness the scenes In whioh his family rose; to world power and renown. -.' As Mr. Bonaparte sat at his desk WTlt Ing his opinion of the nation's naval policy,., spectacled; - black-coated and whlte-veated, he betrayed the old-fashioned, prim and set character by . which .ha. Is known in Baltimore. He kept the candle on the right side of hlmi .although It cast shadows over his written work. He . rubbed out words laboriously, al though he might have crossed them with a stroke of his pencil. , It was a small room with pink walli and white woodwork1.'

On the wall waa a colored crayon portrait of his brother and underneath It a bronz medallion head of Thomas Jefferson. There was a large oak bookcase, g ear Inspired ty Cats persons were able to tell when a- cat waa near though It was neither seen nor heard. Four of -the -3 1- person de- clared thst they detected th presence or a cat by Ita odor. Tha 17 others de clared that. they did not smell the cat. Nevertheleas Dr. Mitchell concludes that In a similar esse tne presence of the cat is recognised through its odor. He says "It seems to me possible that either than ssaall hg sat tsu iillgiillr " kl to define the odor or else recelvean olfactory Impression of which they are not conscious aa being an odor, but only In the form of auch symptom as the visible cat would also evoke. - "When we seek an explanation of the terror Inspired by cats in a few persons we ar forced to fall back upon the In herited remainder of animal instincts of protective nature. Thin view Is, how ever, weakened by the fact that In most of th worst cases of cat, fear t her Is Ao terror in the presence of th Hon. "In ray own famlly..an unci waa th subject. My fsther, the late Professor John K.

' "My wlf simply live in horror of cats. It I mora than fright and It make no difference whether It be a tiny kitten or the most tlgrrlike tom cat. I have seen her absolutely' pros trated by terror after an unexpected meeting with a cat, although sha I not in- the least hysterically Inclined nor afraid of other animals.
