LEARNING TO BE A CIVILIAN Discharged British Soldier Testifies That He Finds New Feeling Out of Uniform. Is the glamor of uniform wearing off? After tttree years of service clothes I have just spent my first days in _i_.ii; -ii.: ? a. _ i..ii * civiiittu aiure. ourpriMiij: iu ten, 1 believe I have met with more civility out of uniform than in it, "R. G." writes in the continental edition of the London Mail. Two possible solutions of this re markable attitude occur to in* The first is that most officers appear to be rather s'tern and stand-offish in uniform. The other solution, and perhaps an equally probable one, Is that th? public is getting tired of seeing no many officers going about aimlessly with apparently uothing much to do ?xcept to spend money and kill time. Naturally, I suppose, when I first went out in "civvies" I had tjie ingrained inclination to salute' all superior officers I met and to prepare to take salutes from the ranks. It took WAA ma at ?? 4- A AttAWAAWI A usw tur wrai pai t ui a ua%> iu vtwwuiu this impulse. The "sir" habit was very strong, too, On my first morning as a civilian I h*d to see a colonel at the war office on business?business in which our standing was at least equal?and I Immediately "sirred" him, of course.

Novel Feat of Engineering Recently P?t to the Credit of American Bridge Builder*.

At nrst it was c< proposed to build the new piers on d! ! the downstream side of rhe old bridge ( and shift the bridge laterally to the ti new position, In this way maintaining C( traffic over the old bridge while the cj new construction was going on. But | rhe war department required the in- w I stallation of a larger draw-span in the j bridge and so it was decided to build e] the new piers between the old piers. p. After they were completed, the fixed cj spans of the bridge were moved shoreward endwise, so that they rested on the new piers. A temporary span was | I constructed to fill the gap thus oc- J casioned, so that traffic was closed ! over the bridge for less than ten hours. Then work was begun upon the new ? swing span, which was built as a cantf- 01 lever in open position. To permit of s< this, a portion of the old swing-span P had to be cut away and a temporary p lift-span was put in to take care of ^ river traffic. Thus the bridge was re- a1 constructed without changing its a alignment.?Scientific American. * : ti f Our Book of Doom. ^ A doomsday book of a new sort has ^ been produced by the alien property * custodian.

Pacific Blockade. .'I "Pacific blockade" is a term lnvent3 by Hautefeuille, the French writer n international maritime law, to de?ribe a blockade exercised by a great ower for the purpose of bringing ressure to bear on rf weaker state ithout actual war. The pacific blockde has apparently established itself s a legitimate means of coercing a reak power to observe its internaonal obligations without re^prting to rar for that purpose. It is a modern evelopment and has usually been the ct of several powers acting in concert, i h wns first pmnloved in 1827. when * le combined fleets of Great Britain, 'ranee and Russia blockaded a porion of the Turkish coast. More reent instances of its exercise were the lockade of Crete by the powers in 397, the blockade of Venezuelan ports y Great Britain, Germany and Italy. 1 1902 and of Turkish porta by the ' owers in 1905. i 1 ? 1 pecialty of srator Troubles * ystem and get its dard. iN FREE Oxner 264 <4 !
