MIES" FIGHT
I
The men who light In ships on water
are actually preparing for defense
from missiles hurled or dropped from
the skies, according to the Brooklyn
Eagle. The problem before them Is to
protect ;he vital parts of the ship from
attacks. Seagoing ships of war are
constructed so as to protect the en
gines and steering gear; also the mag
azines from projectiles coming through
the vessels' sides. They are not likely
to l>e exp<fse<l to dropping bombs ex
cept In close action vlth land bat
teries, something rare In modern war
fare.
I'nder present methods of warship
construction defense from dropping
bombs may take the form of nets
spread above vulnerable points In the
superstructure. These will at least
check the ordinary bomb and limit" the
force. Shells which emit poisonous
fumes, however, can spread death In
spite of the holdup If the contact with
the net Is sufficiently violent to ex
plode- them or If they nro exploded by
a fuse. Experts differ as to the
amount of damage an airship can do
to an ocean ship. It Is admitted that
It will be extremely difficult -for the
airship artillerist to hit his target. At
the most he can only disable a few
men or some of the machinery. Shells
that explode on deck usually do but
little damage. Those that penetrate
the armor and explode In the ship's
bowels are the ones that .wreck things.
This Is the work cut out for torpedo
boats, and many men at present doubt
the efficiency of the aerial torpedo
thrower.
Educators anil school boards may
lament the vacant places at the teach
ers' desks on the opening of fall terius,
but the rest of the community should
perhaps be congratulated. Rvery
school ma'am that marries means ouo
more good home. From a narrow point
of view It may seeiu an economic
waste to havo a teacher drop school
work when she Is at her best. But
all education Is an economic waste un
less there are to be good homes built
up on It and from It.
A schoolma'am turned wife is a
great deal more than half trained for
the duties of the mistress of a home.
She lius acquired patience aud system
and a knowledge of the ways of chil
dren. She knows Ihe value of a dollar
and how hard It Is to cam one. Mar
riage may be getting unpopular, but
these annual raids on the ranks of the
schoolma'ams do not show It Men
have been schoolboys, and they know
that there's a good wife In the making
to be found In every schoolhouse.
THE SO CALLED
CENTURY PLANT
A widespread misapprehension exists
about the so called century plant,
which Is that It blooms only at the ex
piration of a hundred years, says the
Chicago News. Another misapprehen
sion is that it takes the plant a hun
dred years to get Its flrst flower and
then blooms every year. Still another
Is that It Is a cactus. The truth about
the plant Is as follows: It Is an agave,
not a cactus. It got Its name, century
plant, from the fact that It was for
merly believed to attain Its growth and
bloom only after a hundred years, but
It will mature In ten years with the
soli aud climate both favorable. In
less favorable situations It matures In
about seventy years. The plant Is re
markable for one thing especially. It
blooms as soon as It has attained Its
full growth, whenever that may be,
and then dies. Rut the bloom is wor
thy of from ten to seveuty years to
produce It, for It has a stem about
forty feet In height. No wonder It Is
called "agave." which In Greek means [
"noble."'

THE STUDY OF
LANGUAGE
That n great many men "have ac
quired a violent hatred for English lit
erature. owlug to the preparation re
quired In 't? at school, la the opinion
of Professor Lounsbury of Yale. The
preparation referred to Is. of course,
training in grammar, spelling and
rhetoric an preliminary to exercise* in
literature. In this connection a col
league of Professor I?unsbury at Yale.
Profoaaor Phelps, thinks that "training
at home Is what really counts."
Too often In American homes there
la no systematic training. Spoken lan
guage Is used carelessly, and books aro
seldom selected with regard to style lu
language, it Is said that foreign hoys
outstrip our natives In acquiring good
English where the homo training of
the latter has lieen careless. In schools
abroad mucn attention Is given to the
principles underlying all language, and
a pupil thus prepared Is half a linguist
for any language he may attempt. It
may be that our elementary training
Is nt fault and that too great a burden
Is placed upon memory during child
hood. language Is of slow growth and
Is probably "picked up" more often
than It Is mastered by hard study.
Doubtless much depends on a right
start whether the pupil ends with "a
violent hatred for English literature"
or learns to love literature and to uso
good English with case.
II PAIR OF POETS
Hearing u noise lu the street l>efore
his house oue morning, Robert Brown
ing, the |KK>t, went to his window and
saw a great crowd gazing at souie
Chinamen in gorgeous costumes who
were Just leaving their carriages to
mount his steps. Presently they were
announced as the Chinese minister nt
the court of St James and his suit.
A solemn presentation having taken
place, Brownfntf said to the interpreter,
"May I ask to what I am indebted for
the honor of his excellency's visit?"
The interpreter replied, "His excellen
cy Is a poet lii his own country."
Thereupon the two |H>ets shook hands
heartily. Browning then said, "May I
ask to what branch of poetry ills ex
cellency devotes himself?" To which
the interpreter answered, "His excel
lency devotes himself to poetical enig
mas." At this Browning, recognizing
fully the comic element In the situa
tion, extended his hand most cordially,
saying: "His excellency Is thrice wel
come. He Is a brother indeed!"
