Question as to whether It Is a good

' Vienna has named a street after
Roosevelt In honor of his part In the
peace proceedings. Evidently there
.re no makers of 5-cent cigars In Vi
enna. ! The man that robbed Jesse James,
Jr., of $300 probably Is the descendant
of some man with a long-standing ac

Is trying to get even.

After a while it will be possible

A small boy in East Orange. X. J.,
has been arrested for sending Infernal

A man matched silver dollars in a
saloon until he lost $275 without win

: Since the beginning of the war Jap
an has increased her debt from about
f 290,000.000 to $081,000,000. but of
this amount she has on hand perhaps
as much as $173,000,000 unexpended.
In the same time Russia's debt has In
creased from $3,282,000,000 to about
$3,700,000,000. Japan will probably
receive about $100,000,000 from Russia
in payment for the maintenance of
prisoners of war, and Russia must also
borrow money for her Immediate
needs at home. Japan, therefore,
seems to come out of the war in bet
ter financial condition than Russia, In
spite of the latter country's vastly
greater resources.
Does village improvement pay?
Those who doubt It may find some
thing suggestive in the conclusion of
a man who Is looking for a home In a
New England village accessible from
Boston.. , In his search he visited one
town to which he had been recom
mended, lie found the railway station
shabby, the common, In sight from the
station, covered with long grass, and
weeds growing along the sidewalks.
The whole place had a bedraggled and
neglected air. The man decided at
once that he did not care to buy prop,
erty or to live among people appar
ently so Indifferent to appearances as
those who controlled affairs in that
town. ' -
Nuremburg, Germany, in conjunc
tion with the Society oi German Clock
Makers, recently erected a monument
to Peter Henleln. Pour hundred years
ago he substituted springs for weights
in clocks, and thus prepared the way
for the watch. Ills work also meant
that clocks could be made smaller,
since length was no longer required
for the fall of the Weight It Is prob
able that the first spring was not
coiled as at present, but consisted of
a strip fastened at one end, with a
string at the other end pulled down
and coiled round the driving wheel.
The spring thus acted like the sapling
in a noose trap. Its playwas limited,
and the timepiece soon ran down.
' It is probably true that the theory
and practice of bacteriology have
been carried to absurd lengths by en
thuslasts, but if the science had ac

diDhtheria It would Justify all the en

antitoxin treatment which is the re

The meanest thing a woman can do
Is to give dabs. A dab. lost some
man creature should Inquire, Is a re
mark Implying a slight Just enough
of sltght to hurt, without being suf
ficient to resent The giving of dubs
Is an essentially feminine trait; and
one woman may make another exceed
ingly ttrohppy by exhibiting It The
reason men do not give, dabs Is be
cause they have been about enough
to see the foollabnas of It. Any
woman who has been around much
sees the same, for the matter of that.
But fewer women have been tround.
Until they get around, their penchant
for dabbing will remain, for getting
around makes one get busy In the
head. A dab Is the natural output of
a head with nothing more Important
to do. The mind must find activity
somewhere, and housekeeping, or run
ning the cook leaves a good deal of
excess vitality In a woman's head. So
she uses it up In dabs. Oh, yes. dab
bing takes head work. Some dabs are
vastly clever. But lsu't It too bad to
tpend good life In making others un
happy? Here Is the cure: Get busy
In the head. As an Inducement to take
It to those who need It It may be
added that dabbtng ends In making
the dabber far more unhappy than
It makes the dabbed. For the cordial
dislike of a large collection of dabbed
ones Is no nice thing tf encounter,
and such a collection la easy to ac
quire, since no one Is so faultless as
bbe ondabbable. ; This earth Is full
of women with mental capacity far
above their Jobs. No, housekeeping
cannot be successfully done by a
stupid person. It takes head, unde
niably. But It doesn't ofteu take ail
the head a woman has. " Ilence dab.
Now, if you don't beileve this, get In
a crowd of women and listen. If you
don't , hear something enlightening,
you've poor ears. And then, If you
are a woman without sufficient men
tal employment, get busy la the head.
Among the other results of contin
ued national prosperity Is the Increase
In the number of young men who are
acquiring a college education. He Is
a poor man. Indeed, who cannot send
his son to college nowadays. This Is
markedly true in the West where all
the higher institutions of learning re
port an enrollment of unprecedented
size. All classes of people farmers,
merchants, mechanics have pros
pered beyond expectation, and the first
thought of an American In such cir
cumstances is to give his son a col
lege education, which Is supposed to
mean a better chance. In life than a
common school education anonis.
There is some difference of , opinion
respecting this conclusion, but most
people will agree that, other things be
ing equal, the man with a good educa
tion will have an advantage over the
man with a deficient education or with
no education at all. We may easily
see, however, that the number of col
lege-bred men may exceed the number
of professional or business open
ings available ' for educated men.
In that contingency the question
would arise: What shall we , do
with our college graduates?
It Is easy enough to say that a col
lege man will make a better truck
man or hod-carrier or street car con
ductor than an Illiterate man. But
will the college man, In default, of
professional employment go to work
as a truckman or a hodearrler or a
street car conductor? That Is the
crucial question. If he will not do so
what Is to become of him? We can
not all be merchants or doctors or
lawyers or scientific men. Some of
us must be Glbeonites some of us
must do the world's hard, disagree
able work; some of us must hew wood
and draw' water. With the present
spread of college and university edu
cation the time seems not far distant
when all of us will be competent to
till the higher; posts lu life and very
much disinclined to accept the hum
bier ones. When we reach that situ
ation the question of employing our
college graduates will become one of
paramount importance. One solu
tion of that question may be the re
ductlon of the output of the colleges
It will hardly be worth while to teach
a man Latin and Greek and the higher
mathematics in order to prepare him
for ditch-digging especially if he re
fuses to dig ditches.

Construction of the largest heaviest
most powerful and most costlv battle

vessel Is to be named Dreadnought.
and the British admiralty has designed
ber to be capable of equaling her
mime. She will mount more heavy
guns than any two battleships now
afloat; will be able to withstand an
attack from submarine, and If she
happens :o touch off a floating mine
will be able to continue afloat until
a port Is reached, lu addition to theso
enviable virtues, the Dreadnought will
also have great speed, and. If she
wants to "turn tall" her engines, de
veloping a speed of 21 knots an hour,
will enable her to outdistance any too
pressing foe. Even If overtaken, the
very thick- armor plating will enable
her to stand unusual puulahment, and
for deallug with torpedo boats she will
have a small battery of one pounders
and six-pounders. She will also be
armed with torpedo tubes, but will be
unique In having no secondary bat-
No details of the armor to be placed
on the Dreadnought have been given,
but It Is known that she will be the
most completely armored ship afloat.
Her armor aloue will weigh about 5,-
000 tons. In gunpower the Dread
nought is designed to be the most for
midable warship ever seen. No bat
tleship In the world to-day carries
more than four 12 Inch guns, but the
Dreadnough will mount no fewer than
ten, or two and a half times as many
as any ship afloat. This enormous but
tery of 12-inch rifles will have s com
bined muzzle energy of 480,000 foot
tons. Knch of these big guns will
throw a shell weighing 8T0 pounds, the
combined battery being able to throw
over four tons of projectiles at one
discharge. The Dreadnought will be
able to throw this Immense weight of
metal a distance of five or six miles,
at which range the shells would pierce
the armor of practically any battleship
afloat

There hus been a wonderful ad
vance In the development of battle
ships within the Inst ten years. In
1895 Great Britain had twenty-three
armored ships, each of more than 10,
000 tons. To-day, if there are Includ
ed the ships being built she has sixty.
In 1805 the heaviest ' British battle
ship was the Royal Sovereign, of 14,
200 tons. There were eight ships of

, The hay fever serum or pollantlne
of Dr. Dunbar of Hamburg is shown
to have proven very effective. Having
first proven that bay fever is due to
the pollen poison from " grasses, ce
reals and other plants, the Investigator
sought a preventive by' repeated vac
clnntlon of animals with the poison of
pollen. The antitoxin thus produced
in the blood serum neutralizes tho
poisonous effect of pollen In the eyos
and nose. The serum Is not injected
under the skin, like others, but simply
applied to nose and eyes. '

France at that time had fourteen
battleships, each of over lO.OtK) tons

more than 10,000 tons, In the French

heavily armed and armored that she
almost found It difficult to get out of
her own way. She Is now ranked as
a second eliis battleship; but she Is
not considered (It to stand even hi
that line. The Italia, sister ship to
the Lepanto, was built In 1S80, and
wa for many year the largest bat
tleship afloat She represents an early
attempt to build a monster battle
ship, but, apart from size, she ha
never been considered at U formida
ble. Italy now has fourteen battle
ships, each over 10.000 ton, tlie heavi
est being tlie Reglna Margherita, in.-1
124 tons. , ! i
In 1$!3 the United States and Ger
many were equal as to battleships of
over 10,(K)0 tons. Each, had four; the

! The wars of the United States with
Spain and Japan with Itussla have not
been without their lessons to the naval
powers, and the tendency Is to build
larger and heavier battleships, so that
they may carry more tremendous bat
teries. The determination to build
these enormous ship was arrived st
only after considerable discussion. It
was thought, by some naval construc
tors that more units, each of consid
erable power, were to be desired above
a few battleships of the greatest 1
power.
It was thought that the Dreadnought
would be the last w,rd In warship
construction for many years, but now
It appears that Japan Is to build three
battleships of W.lHtO tons ench. Ger
many Is reported to be considering a
20,000-ton warship, and Franco next
year Is to lay down one of 20,500 tons.
I'erhnps the contest will end In uni
versal pencp, for there Is a limit to
battleship construction, and If It Is
not reached In the Dreadnought, it at
least must bo near.

The "nuxetophone" Is an attachment

Horace Short. A small valve of pe

Is compared In tho Scientific American
to that of an air relay, whereby not
only are greater power anl volume Im
parted .to the sounds, but tho full
ness and richness of tone are height
ened. It is said that on a calm day
the auxetophone can be heard distinct

and that in speech every word may
be clearly distinguished as much as
