MOTHER IN THE WgPDINO QOWN.
Here's picture of my mother in her wed
ding gown. Ah, me,
I wonder If thert ever was a fairer bride
than the.
Not a wrinkle on her forehead, not a line
denoting care
Can be traced upon her feature; what a
wealth of wary hair
Fell away from her fair templet! And
the imlle she wore that day
Waa the amlle of one whose aorrowi atill
were lurking far away.
I can fancy that my father, ai he gazed
npon'ber then,
Mast bare held bit head op proudly,
faTored o'er all other men;
And, beholding the iweet beauty of the
face depicted here, -
I imagine I can see him, young and ar
dent, standing near
I have loved and I can see him as he
caught her to hla breast,
When the atrength of youth was in him
and his lips on hers were pressed.
The picture of my mother, taken on her
. wedding day,
. Showa the face of one whose sorrows
were all lurking far away,
And a fairer bride than the haa never
charmed a man, I trow
Yet there's one whose smile is tweeter
than her smile was long ago,
One whose brows have many furrows
proudly looks sometimes on me,
And I see the fondest, gladdest smile a
man may hope to. see...

It was Just eight o'clock and a lovely

HEAT FR0M THg WRTtl
Scientist Tells How, He Thinks, Staasa
Hay Be Obtained Underground.
Certain scientific men now believe
that the enormous Internal heat of the
earth may be utilized for some practi
cal purpose. Prof. William Hallock of
Columbia University expresses, In the
World's Work, the opinion that the
plan Is feasible. He says: -
"It is not merely a question of getting
steam; it is a question of the quantity
of steam that can be had. Near Boise,
Idaho, hot water Is now drawn from
well, and used to heat a dwelling. The
Pittsburg and Wheeling wells are capa
ble of heating the water left In them
overnight; hut even if their depth were
sufficient to turn the water to steam, It
would require so many hours' waiting
as to rob the process of all commercial
value. In other words, there would not
be the slightest difficulty in obtaining
steam from the Interior of the earth,
because that Involves only a little ex
tra labor In boring Into the hot area,
and It Is almost as easy to bore ten
thousand feet as six thousand; but In
order to give the steam commercial
value, a method must be provided for
dropping the water to the hot area, al
lowing it time to heat and yet having
it returned to the surface as steam,
without interrupting the flow,
"Two holes might be bored Into the
earth, twelve fhoisand feef deep and
perhaps fifty feet apart There would
be a temperature far above the boiling
point of water. Then, if very heavy
charges of dynamite or some other ex
plosive were lowered to the bottom of
each hole, and exploded simultaneous
ly, a sufficient connection might be es
tablished between the two holes. The
rock would be cracked and fissured In
all directions, and shattering it thus
around the base of the holes would turn
the surrounding area into an Immense
water-heater. The water poured Into
one bole would be heated and turned
into steam, which would pass through
the second hole to the earth's surface.
The pressure of such a column of steam
would be enormous; for aside from Its
initial velocity, the descending column
of cold water would exert a pressure
of at least five thousand pounds to the
square inch, which would drive every
thing movable through the second hole.
The problem Is therefore a mechanical
one, concerned chiefly with connecting
the two boles. This accomplished, the
water-heater would operate Itself, "and
establish a source of power that would
surpass anything now in use.

will blow a great warship to destruc

which to discharge his dangerous
weapon In a way to do the most harm.
Such is the latest of all torpedo boats

The man who has perfected this of
fensive - and Invisible destroyer Is
Thomas J. Morlarity, for many years
the mechanical expert In the employ
of the United States Government at
the torpedo station at Newport.
Mr. Morlarity was long ago Impress
ed with the Idea that the only way by
which to make the action of the tor
pedo actually certain wus to put an ex
perienced operator Inside It; for, while
Its automatic machinery operates with
almost human intelligence, there is no
certainty that it will on long ranges
do exactly what Is required of it. From
the idea of putting a man Inside It to
that of placing a man outside it, the
transition was easy; and it I lieu be
came a problem to give him a safe
shelter,, means of locomotion, of sub
merging and of discharging the projec
tile. To accomplish these essentials he has
devised a cigar-shaped bout of bronze
plates, about ten feet long, three feet
deep and Ave fet wide. Beneath this
Is suspended the Whitehead torpedo in

line rivals or would-be rivals from the
field. The latter evidently think that
the craft has been monopolized by ths
women. To tell the truth, there Is no
field so much open to men, as far as
Uncle Sam Is concerned, as that of the
typewriter, aud In few is there held out
such prospect of advancement. For In
stance, Secretary Cortelyou Is an ex
s'tcnographer, and not so much of an
"ex" at that tot he was, and always
will be, a skillful band at the type
writer. But he is a Cabinet possibility,
and he rose from, the opportunities
held out by his calling." Washington

No Fitting Time.
There are many poor correspondents
who would doubtless like to make the
excuse given by a boy who was spend
ing his first year at a boarding school.
The first letter, anxiously awaited by
his parents, was not received for more
than a week, and then It was short and
to the point
"Dear people," wrote the boy, T
don't believe I shall be able to send
you msny letters while I'm here. You
see when things are happening I
haven't time, and when they aren't
happening I haven't anything to write.
You'll understand how It Is, won't you,
father? And, mother, you just aak
father to explain to you how It is. So
now I will say good by, with love to
all. In haste, George."
