"What can I ever do?" the girl asked,
anxiously. "Fate has decreed that I

crutches of mine. It's Just as If I had

Dick Fairfield was rarely nt a loss
for a ready reply, lie looked out at
the sea so vast and Imperious, and he
thought of how the lame girl at his side
had come Into his life.
"You are doing much, Virginia," he
answered, after a moment. "You are
bringing happiness luto many of our
lives, hat more can you want to
doV"
The girl turned her face and
Bwered not at all.
The orchestra was playing In the long
ballroom. It was one of the stirring
marches that a great bandmaster had
given as his tribute to his fellow men
and women. It had been dedicated to
the national colors, and the swinging
cadences and clear rhythm told of the
waving flag of the free. Dick Fairfield
tbougut or what It had meant. lie
heard It as a marching chorus, and he
had but to close his eyes again to see
the long flies of dust-covered men who

These easterners were content to crit

bandmaster didn't get new selections.
New selections? Why, a march song
like that had uo age; It wus superior to

eastern men and women. They were
too languid, too contented.
"I doubt If your thoughts aro worth
the fixed price," snld a voice nt his side.
"Won't you give them to meV"
And Dick realized that It was a man's
occasional privilege to change his mind.
For VIrgluia Howper was another kind
of easterner. During tho ten days he
hud already spent of his fortnight's
vacation the girl had como to mean
moro to him each day. Her restless
spirit, her ambition to succeed, ho
thought a wonderful contrast to tho

her the heroine of the hotel, and new
arivals begged to be presented. Sun
day newspapers sent for her photo

laughed at it and took It most good

vaguely of a general dislike for the

as cold-blooded and disagreeable. Then
he would lower his voice and hint that
there was one exception to the rule.
Two months later when he returned
from a flying trip to Baltimore that
seemed strangely suspicious In view
of his previous opinions, he gave more
confidences. This time he allowed that
he would make no exceptions In tho

In that city aud will uo doubt create
widespread Interest throughout the
country among students of electrical
therapeutics. Iu the course of these
experiments Dr. Roberts seut a cur
tent through his body aud thence to .1

of a baud wus taxeu, showing perfect-
j ly its skeleton. The X-ray was or rare

! even were this not true the Teat would
be remarkable in that he is the first
man to ever make himself the con
ductor of a current of electricity of
great power enough to create an X-ray.
The secret of Dr. Roberts' success In
his experiments Is that lie employed
what is known to be a static current
through his body. The static-current
has no volume, but great power. It Is
not the potential energy that kills, but
tho volume. This may la Illustrated
by an analogy. A needle might be
passed through the body with great
rapidity and power, but It would not
be ns harmful as n thousand needles
passed through slowly nnd with little
power. In other words, the power, the
voltage, has nothing whatever to do
with the physiological effect. It Is the
number of needles, the amperage. Still
the experiment Is not without danger. It
requires a nice adjusinent of machin
ery to produce the proper kind of cur
rent, it requires a thorough knowledge
cf certain conditions to apply the cur
rent perfectly. It requires a familiar
ity with ek-ctrlc currents to prevent
shock. To Dr. Rolierts It had little or
no danger. "Tho Idea or passing an
X-ray current through my body was

"In the static current the medical
profession has exactly what It needs
to balance. The static current Is elec
tricity restrained In a condition of high
tension. It Is sometimes called I-'rank-llnlc
because Franklin demonstrated Its
Identity with terrestrial electricity. It
Is electrical pressure without volume.
It Is nlmost free from amperage aud
consists almost wholly of voltage. Poet
ically, It Is the great Invisible messen
ger for light heat and electricity from
the tangible storehouse of nature, Tho
generating of tho static current Is sim
ple. An Initial charge of electricity
must bo Imparted to tho armature or
receiving part of the machine. The
plates aro set In motion with artificial
power. About tho revolving plates a
certain multiplication of the certain
electricities takes place by theJnfluunco
of ono charged body upon another, with
tho resulting output of static currents
depending upon speed, number of and
diameter of plates and atmospheric
conditions. This machlue, which Is not
moro thun live feet long, six feet high
and three feet wide, Is capable of gen
erating 10,000,000 volts of electricity.

whales by finding one of these nulmals
In Bering Sea In 1800 with a "toggle"
harpoon head In Its body bearing tho
mark of the American whaler Montezu
ma. That vessel was engaged In whal
ing In Bering Sea about ten years, but
not later than 1854. Sho was after
ward sold to tho government nnd was
sunk In Charleston harbor during tho
civil war to serve ns an obstruction.
Hence, It Is estimated tho whale must

thirty-six years.

She Is of light sled construction, fob
lowing the modern method of using

against an ordinary Held rllle of to day.
She could be hulled If broadside oil by

twenty-three, aud In forced draught
.may run up to thlity knots. Speed and
the low freeboard ore her strong

and Is so swift as to be able to choose
her own position for attack.
The main dependence of tho (intli

Back of out single plate of armor will
be mounted 11 gun which will throw
(00 pounds of gun-cotton nt the enemy
a-, each lire. The shell will leave the

will be equal to n broadside from the

shot well directed, .Mr. Cathmauti be

armored warship ever constructed.
Two or three guns will be mounted on
the main battery, each with a bore or
sixteen Inches.
One of the jiecullor features of the
Gatlimauii ship Is Its so-called armor
belt. The vessel has uo armor proper,
but a part of It Is protected by an ar
mor belt. This belt rises to a point a
trifle above the roof of the after portion
or the ship. It Is placed on at an acute
angle with the lateral diameter of the
ship. The angle Is placed farthest for
ward, with the two arms extended nft
ami to the sides of the ship. The belt
also curves from the dock plane back
ward to Its highest extremity. Thus
any shot not delivered squarely at right
angles to the nrm of the belt, nnd with
& plunge sufficient to overcome the
backward slope, no matter how fiercely
delivered, will not oven start a rivet.
It will Inevitably glanio off, because

The belt being placed far enough aft

science can devise.
Tho vessel lies so low In tho water
that with an ordinary sea 011 she would

speed-as great us that of any torpedo

choosu Its own position in a light

present her Hows to the enemy, thus
materially reducing target surface, ami
also presenting her protected deck
