PARADE PICTURES
. GO TO WASHINGTON
Films of Historic Pageant Re
viewed by President to Be
Shown at Capital.
NEBRASKANS THERE ALIVE
The historical pageant reviewed by
President Wilsort in Omaha last (all
is to be reviewed again in Washing
ton on March 1. Thb time, however,
it will be" the moving picture film of
the parade, made for the Board of
Governors of Ak-Sar-Ben that will be
shown.
' The Nebraska State association of
Washington on March 1 will cele
brate the genii-centennial anniversary
of the admission of the state into the
union, and is planning for some real
doings. In order that the affair may
be given the utmost of an home-like
atmosphere on that occasion, H. A.
Harding, president of the association,
has written to Victor Rosewater, ask
ing him to arrange for the use of the
film on that night, j
Mr. Rosewater laid the proposition
before E. Buckingham of the Ak-Sar-Ben
board, and has received assurance
tha the film 'will be in Washington
on the date mentioned.
What Plans Include.
; Plans for the association's cele
bration include a banquet at the New
Ebbitt on the evening of -March 1, at
which a number of special features
will be shown. The Omaha parade
will be the main event, and it will give
the exiles, who have not been home
for so long a time, some idea of what
is going on out Iiere. At any rate,
they will see President Wilson con
fronted with the biggest crowd he
ever faced, and will see Omaha and
Nebraska on dress parade and good
behavior.. Outsiders, who may be
guests of the associ.-.tion that night
will also get a much better notion of
the importance of trc city and stite
from this showing. Distinguished
speakers have been invited to address
the society, and much enthusiasm is
already engendered.
E. C. Snyder, The Bee's Washing
ton correspondent, is looking after the
publicity for the celebration, which
means it is being thoroughly exploited
in and around Washington.
Audubon Society
... Will Lend Slides
Of Bird Pictures
In response to early and determined
requests, the Audubon society, at its
regular meeting at the public library
Saturday, voted to loan its , valu
able new collection of colored slides
of native birds to any responsible or
ganization or individual who desired
to use the slides for lecture purposes.
Mrs. Roy King of the Civic club
of Superior, E. Holch of the Alliance
High school faculty, and Robert
Thomson a bird Iqvcr of Plainview,
have already Written to Dr. Solofl R.
Towne of the society, seeking to bor
row the slides and secure bird
lecturers.
It it understood that at least one of
these persons is coming to Omaha
for the Enos Mills bird lecture at the
First Methodist church, Mtanday eve
ning, February 26, when the slides
will be publicly projected for the first
time.
At last night's meeting a review
of plans for the Enos Mills lecture
disclosed that there is imminent prob
ability of overselling the seating
capacity of the Auditorium, as inter
est in the affair Is keen on account
of the speaker's prominence as a
naturalist.
In addition the slides themselves
are attracting much attention, as
they are the only ones of their kind,
owned by a bird organization and
were hand-painted at great expense
by Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who is
recognized as the world's .foremost
bird artist.

submerged at a constant depth be
neath the surface so that, as it speeds
on its way. it neither .shoots up out
of the water nor dives downward to
a greater depth. The general princi
ple on which thispndispensablc qual
ity of a torpedo rests is that of a bal
ance of forces. Ordinarily the weight
ot tne torpedo is nearly the same as
the weight of an equal volume of
water, so that if not in motion it
would have just enough, buoyancy to
keep it awash at the surface.
A horizontal rudder abaft the nro-
pellers governs its up or down mo
tion in the water in the same wav
that a vertical rudder governs the side
to side motion ol an ordinary boat.
Torpedoes may be started from either
above or below the water line. 1 be
lieve the general practice now is to
start them below the Water line. Thev
are fired from a submerged tube, and
it tney nave a tendency to rise the
horizontal rudder counteract this
tendency and keeps them on an even
keel, just as an ordinary rudder can
counteract the effect of a cross cur
rent, or of irregular rowing, on the
direction ol a boat. .
Another system of rudders keeos
the torpedo in a straight course to
ward its object. But it is possible, by
means of automatic steering devices,
to cause a torpedo to turn at any an
gle, right or lelt, at'.cr starting, jand
then resume a straight course.
some of the devices used for steer
ing torpedoes, and for keeping them
at a fixed depth below the surface, are
still government secrets, but the se
cret in no case includes any unknown
principle: it depends simnly - upon
1-some ingenious application of me
chanism. 1 he principle of the gyro
scope nas sometimes been employed.
The ingenuity and delicacy of some
of these automatic devices are aston
ishing. They seem almost to be en
dowed with human consciousness and
will power.
Especially remarkable is the me-
'chanism by which the depth of im
mersion of the running torpedo is
fcontrolled by the pressure of the wa
ter at that particular death. 1 he op
eration of this mechanism depends
upon a hydrostatic piston and a pen
dulum, which constitute the essential
parts of a steering engine, whose valve
is connected by a rod with the hori
zontal rudder of the torpedo.
. The water presses upon the piston.
and the pressure is resisted by a

spring, whose force has been so cal
culated as to equal the water pres
sure at the selected depth. -When
the torpedo is at that depth, and run
ning on a horizontal line, the valve of
the engine remains in a position
which gives the rudder just the right
inclination to keep the torpedo on an
even keel.
But if for any reason the torpedo
begins to dip lower, the increased
water pressure overmatches the
spring and pushes the, piston in such
a way that the rudder swings the tor
pedo's head upward until the decrease
of water pressure restores the original
balance.
If? on the contrary, the torpedo
swerves toward the surface, the de
crease of pressure causes the piston,
and consequently the rudder, to move
in the opposite direction and the head
of the torpedo is depressed.
The part played by the pendulum,
which isconnectcd with the piston by
a system of levers, is equally intcre
ing and important. It acts as a kind
of governor for the steering engine,
and its importance arises from the
fact that when the course of the tor
pedo has been changed up or down
by the movement of the valve, the in
clinati n is apt to become so great
that the torpedo may shoot out of
water or plunge to the bottom before
a balance can be restored.
This the pendulum prevents, be
cause when the inclination becomes
too great, it swings so far as to press
the valve' back. Thus the course of a
torpedo, which may be traveling
thirty or forty miles an hour, at a
deptli ot htteen or twenty teet be
neath the surface of the sea, is almost
as unswerving as that of a projectile
in the air. Hut tt has the advantage
over a projectile that it travels in a
horizontal plane, instead of continu
ally falling in a parabolic curve to
ward the earth's center. '
The motive power of a torpedo is
usually furnished by compressed air.
and the engines that drive it call for
other ingenious and delicate mechan
isms. The range depends upon the
quantity of compressed lir that can
be carried as wel' as upon the per
fection of the engines through which,
it is applied.
A great deal also depends upon the
shape of the torpedo, externally. They
are usually of a cigar shape, and the
precise form and curvature given to
them is determined by theoretical cal
culation of the water resistance, cor
rected by the results of elaborate ex.
periments. If as much money and in.

there is no other accomplishment in
the world more to be desired than
the ability- to read aloud.

a lady to spell badly.
Third To write. The hallmark of

write a charmingHctter and a grace

send a little gift to a girl, or when
some sorrow or joy comes to us, we
are treated by her with unpardonable
rudeness. No line ot thanks, no word
of congratulation or sympathy reaches
us from her, and the reason ot it is
not that she is lacking in politeness
or good feeling, but simply that she
doesn't know how to write a letter.
The time that girls spend m school
composing laborious essays coultf" bcl

only taught tow to write letters. No
girl should be given a diploma unless
she can satisfactorily prove that she

exigencies of civilized society.
Fourth How to talk. The idea of

like carrying coals to Newcastle, but
if I could only teach a girl one thing
on earth I would have her acquire a
conversational repertoire that would

A girl should be taught the art of

sweet and gentle to children how to
pay a compliment delicately, without
wholesale laying on of flattery; and,
above all, how to receive a compli

I have heard girls who, when any

she isn't taught this, no matter what

mean to make her a fashion plate,
one of the poor creatures' whose
brains are cut on the bias and shirred
in the middle, but to teach her how
to dress in ordinary, everyday sort
of things so that she shall make the
best of herself and the most of
money she has to" spend. And the
poorer the girl is the more she needs
this branch of education.
It is a woman's religious duty to
be as good looking as she can. When
God made her a thing of gracious
curves, when he gave het,the glorj
of long hair, and painted the roses
on her cheeks, He intended her to
adorn life, and it is just as much her
mission to do this as it is to do any
thing else.
Now it is true that not every wom
an can be beautiful, but no one need
be hideously ugly if she will take the
trouble to dress properly. The sim

no excuse can be made. She is an
eyesore, to man, a blot on the land
scape, and she has frustrated the
plan for which she was made.
The remedy for this is education,
and it is far more important that a
girl should be taught to have some
sense of color, and value of lines, and
given some knowledge of how to
dress herself properly than it is that
she should be given a smattering of
the ologies and isms.
In short, don't you wish you knew
of some school ti which you could
send your daughter where she could
be taught the accomplishment of
being a lady? And isn't that about
the highest education that you can

William E. Sisk, 52, night watch
man at the Hotel Fontenelle, was in
stantly killed at 11 o'clock last night
when his skull was mashed between
the car and shaft of a freight elevator
in the rear of the hotel, oh the sixth
floor.
He had opened the elevator door
and was looking down the shaft, when
the elevator, operated by Charles An

descended, striking him on the head
and knocking him down. , Before the i
car could be stopped, his skull was
mangled.
Dr. Frank Colin, house physician,
was among the first to find him, but
he was dead when picked up.
Sisk had been employed at the hotel
as watchman for two years. He is
survived by his widow and one son,
Ignatus, who live at 2505 Capitol ave

wonderful effect.

A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenlv that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears and after another ap
