\ ENGLAND'S DANGER.
Lord Dereiford Tells Why She Mutt

Although Admiral Lord Charles Her-
cuford did not mention Ucrnmny by
name In n speech recently mndo nt a
luncheon given him l > y the Pilgrims of
the United States nt thu Lawyers'
clul ) In New York , thu men who heard
him took It for grunted that he had
thu kaiser's country In mind when lie
Intimated that he feared n war for his
country In the near future. Illu most
direct hit was In the following sen-
tunce , which cunio after n long argu

navy :

this :

arrayed myself for my first attempt
with tulsglvltjg In my heart. 1 uns
so afraid of my reception. 1 found my
llrst address ou the third floor of a
rear tenement , stumbled up the dark
stairs and timidly knocked tit the door.
It was opened instantly by a small boy
who peered at nit * curiously.
"Is Is yenir mother In ? " I inquired.
"No'm , " was the prompt reply.
"She's gone to see the doctor. Hut
you can come In. "
He held the door hospitably open , ami
1 stepped across the threshold and en
tered. I Kcle'cted a chair and sat down.
The small boy wriggled into n chair
opposite.
"I have fits , " he announced , with
Importance.
"Wha-at ? " 1 stammered.
" 1 have 'em often. " he went on eager
ly. "Ills real fits. 1 may have one any

A Long Dive ,
"A circus came to a little town la
Tennessee. " said Colonel Hubert M.
nates In the Saturday Evening I'ost ,
"and one of the attractions was a high
diver , a chap who dove from the top
of the tent Into a shallow tank , which
Is a fe > at common enough , but which
treated a deal of talk in Unit locality.
"The wiseacre's were talking about
It at the store. Many of ( hem thought
It could not be done without killing
the diver , but one old mau Insisted
thnt It was perfectly feasible.
" 'What do you know about diving ? '
he was asked.
" 'Waal. ' he replied , 'nothln' in per-
tickler about that kind of dlvln' , but

longest diver ye ever see. '
" 'Longest diver ? ' scoffed the other
sitters. 'Where''d he dive ? '

The Captain's Regret.
"Some years ago , " said u military
man. "there was a certain German
private soldier named Audree. This
was a short time after Aeronaut An-
dree's sensational departure for the
north pole In his airship. Well , the
kaiser , reviewing some troops one day.
asked a number of men their names ,
and Audree was among this number.
The kaiser smiled at him good humor-
edly.
" 'So your name Is Andree. eh ? ' the
kaiser said. 'Do you know you've got
a very famous namesake ? '
" 'Yes , your majesty , ' the soldier an
swered.
" 'And who told you that ? ' said the
kaiser.
" 'My captain , your majesty , ' said
the soldier.
" 'Aha. your captain , eh ? And what
did your captain tell you about An
dree ? '
" 'lie said , your majesty , that ho
only wished Andree had taken me
with him ! ' "
The Wheel Problem.
Which , at an } given moment , is mov
ing forward faster the top of a coach
wheel or the bottom ?
The answer to this question seems
tsimplo enough , but probably nine per
sons out of ten. asked at random ,
would give the wrong reply. It would
appear at llrst sight that the top and
bottom must be moving at the same
rate that Is. the speed of the carriage.
But by a little thought It wHI be dis
covered that the bottom of the wheel
Is In fact , by the direction of its mo
tion around Its axis , moving ; backward ,
in an opposite direction to that which
the carriage Is advancing and Is con
sequently stationary iu space , while
the point on top of the wheel is mov
ing forward with the double velocity
of Its own motion around the axis and
r the speed nt which the carriage moves.

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess of Muicle Mn )
Prove Injurious ,
Nothing could be more elusive than
the Idea that l > y a period of athletic
training a man run lay In a slot U ol
health mid strength upon whldi hu can
draw later while engaged lit a neelcn
tary occupation. The truth Is that thr
hlg muscle * and h.\peflniphled heart

Ita \ not quite true that all exercise
for Its own sake Is harmless , for It Is
well to he prepared for the meeting ol
life's little emergencies IIR well as Ita
ordinary and dally demands , hut It
probably Is true that , the emergencies
apart , every man does enough In going
about his customary business ami
pleasure to keep himself In the condl
tlon which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides Is
superfluous or Injurious. That athletics
take one Into the open air Is less a
i'omtucndatlnu of athletics than an In-

FEET OF SEA BEASTS.
Their Appearance When the Skin Is
Stripped Off.
Of all the feet that 1 hava looked at
I know only one more utterly ridlcu
lotts than the twisted Hipper on which
the sen lion props his great bulk In
front , and that Is the forked tly flap
which extends from the hinder part of
the same. How can It be worth any
beast's while to carry such an ubsuii
apparatus with It just for the sake o
getting out Into the air sometimes am
pushing oneself about on the ice a IK
being eaten by polar bears ? The porpoise
poise has discarded one pair , turned the
other Into decent fins and recovered a
grace and power of motion in water
which is not equaled by the greyhound

How Submarine Dives.
All submarine vessels are brought tea
a condition of readiness to submerge
by taking In water ballast In suitably
arranged and controlled tanks. This
causes more of the boat to sink below
the waterV surface and finally leaves
her with only n small part of her con
ning tower out of water. The remain
ing part above water represents what
Is called "reserve buoyancy. " This
buoyancy varies generally from 'JOO to
1,000 pounds , depending upon the size
of the craft , mid It Is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise represent
ed by this reserve that pressure Is
brought to bear upon the submerging
rudders or tin1 hydroplanes In order to
make the boat sink after she Is once
put In motion. It Is the height out of
water or reserve of buoyancy of the
submersible which gives her her su
perior sea keeping qualities , which per
mits the vessel to be driven safely on
the surface at higher rates of speed
and which contributes In other ways
to the elllclency , the Imbltabillty and
the military value of the craft.--Har

Spencer's "First Principles. "
In Spencer's "First Principles" he
endeavors to define the fields of the
unknowable and ( lie knowahlo and
the postulates with which the sttidtes
of the knowable must be pursued.
When Spencer writes that "the man
of science truly knows that in Its ulti
mate essenc < > nothing can be known , "
he Is not referring to man's brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles of the universe ,
like space , time , matter , force and mo
tion , are by their very nature un
knowable. Since all man's knowledge
of the cosmos can be traced back ulti
mately to sense experience , and since *
sense experience Is not always relia
ble and much of what he calls the
ultimate essence Is entirely inaccessi
ble to sense experience , It may be phll-
osophkjally said thnt nmn cannot be
Fure he really knows anything. Both
the strength and thu weakness of his
theory are due to the equivocal import
of the term "knowledge. " New York

A Kitchen Martyr.
Even the kitchen can boast Its
martyrs. Chief among these was Va-
tel , the chief cook of Conde. who ran
himself through the heart with a
sword because the flsh had not ar
rived In time for a banquet which his
master was giving Louis XIV. Vatcl's
panegyric Is to be found In the con
cluding volume of the "Almanach des
Gourmands : " "So noble a death in
sures you. venerable shade , the most
glorious Immortality ! You have proved
hat the fanaticism of honor can exist

JAPAN'S PAGODAS.
They Are Built to Resist the Shock of
an Earthquake.
A remarkable fact In Japan Is that
pagodas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle of the modern
seismograph , which Is to minimize the
effect of earthquake motion by the
combination of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum , or , In
other words , by the union of a stable
and an unstable structure to produce n
neutral stability , which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well of every five sto
ried pagoda a heavy mass of timber Is
suspended freely , like an exaggerated
tongue , from the top right to thu
ground , but not in contact with It. nnd
at the shock of ah earthquake tills
large pendulum slowly swings nnd the
structure sways nnd then settles back
safely upon Its base.
This Is also the principle followed In
the construction of all bell towers
throughout Japan , where the bell acts
as pendulum , and the roof , supported
by posts , forms an Inverted pendulum ,
ns In the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs n pagoda
or n bell lower may be rotated or dis
placed , but it cannot be overturned as
n whole. Wide World Magazine.
Peeling a Snake.
It Is dltllcult to skin a dead snake ,
and the skin Is often spoiled In the
course of the operation , while , ou the
other hand , it Is a simple mutter to
Ekln a live snake , and the skin thus
gained is worth much more. Dead
snakes bring from 'J to 5 cents , accordIng -
Ing to their size , and live ones from
'J3 cents to $1. One of the largest
snake skin companies has factories In
Sumatra. When a snake is received
from a hunter it is sei/.e'd adroitly by
an operator , one hand squeezing the
neck and the other holding the tall.
It Is then attached by the neck to the
trunk of a palm tree , an assistant
holding it by the tall. With the point
of n knife the operator cuts the skin
just below the head and , pulling with
all his strength , peels It from { he
writhing reptile in the same way that
a woman peels a pair of gloves from
her hand.-Popular Mechanics.
