SHAKSPCARE IN SHORTHAND German Re riting the Plays in !iza bethan Tach.ygrapb. Dr. Eduard Engel has written the fol lowing letter to one of the Berlin news papers: "In a lecture I delivered some years ago to the,Berlin .Society of Steno;rra. pbers, wbo use Stolse's system. I sug gested that those accurately acquainted with the oldest English shorthand sys tems of the sixteenth cent;ry sh-.uld try to ascertain whether many of'the deficiencies :of the text of Shakspeare might nt be explained by stenogra ph le mistakes. The idea was suggested to me by the old and well-founded conjec ture of Shakspearean scholars that the oldest copies of Shakspeares plays-tho so-called quartos-- were printed from stenographic no'.es, taken in the thea ter, and that many of the unintelligibili ties of the text are due to this. My suggestion fell en fruitful soil. and I have now the pleasure of making the excellent work of a young savant. wh4 has thus sprung at one leap into the ranks of our best Shakspearean schol ars, known to wider circles. In a series of artrcles on Shakspeare and the be glnnings of English stenography. Herr Kurt D.e-ischeit has prcred'beyond the shado of a doubt that the quarto edi tions if Shakspeare's plays . ere pira ted editions printed from -stenographic votes that the stenographic system was that of imothy Bright, who was born In 1t50, and that innumerable mistakes in the quartos, innumerable contradictions between them and the first authorized folio er tions. can be a I once and most simply explained ly the defects of that stenographic system and the indexterity of the stenographers of that time.. Herr Dewischeit has con firmed my conjecture almost beyond my own expectation. He is at present the only person -who possesses all the regtisite qualifteatioxs- for this quite new kind of text-investigation. and it Is to be wised -that he. with his accurate knowledge of the oldest English sten ography. combined with solid Shak spearean scholarship, would subject the texts of the dramas to a thorough reinvestiga-tion. The purification of the text of Shakspeare is raised by him for the first time from arbitrary fantastic ality to the, rank of a strict science, with which;: however, only Shakspear ean scholars theoretically and practic ally trained In stenographic questions are at liberty to busy themselves. Sel dom has a higher. never has a more de lightful, task fallen to stenography." A DOG CEMETERY.

SWITCHBOARDS THAT CONTROL MASTHEAD AND MAGAZINE, The System in Modern Navies is Al most the Perfection of Economy and 7flciency - Provicions For Accident or Injury - The Case of the Texas. The best electrical installation tobe found anywhere is aboard the modern battleship. There the work is con stantly under the severest tests; the specifications prepared by the Navy Department, under which the work is done, cover every possible detail; the highest grade of material and work manship is required throughout, and :he work is done under rigid inspec tion. On older vessels the electrical equipment was practically confined to lighting circuits, but one after an othxer various details of work per formed by auxiliary engines have been transferred to electric motors. until now little but the dynamos remain for the steam engines. The iearsarge and Kentucky, recently larnched at Newport News, mark the latest ad 7ance. In these ships the turrets and ammunition hoists, for the first time in our navy, will be worked by electric motors. : The main business of electricity on board a warship is still the lighting. The American Electrician contains an exhaustive article by E. W. Countiss on "Naval Marine Electric Lighting," with fifty illustrations, from which the present account is largely derived. Every ingeur.ity is exerted to secure the largest amount of illumination from the least number of lamps and so make the weight as little as possi ble. The plant of the Texas, which operates 583 lights, weighs about forty tons, a large item where every hun dred-weight and almost everypoundis figured out. Formerly it was the practice to enclose the wires in iron tubes, thereby adding much to the weight of the equipment; but now the wires are run in wooden mouldings, much the same as those in use in buildings on land. The generators are wonderfully ef ficient. Some of them have carried overloadsof 100 to 150 per cent. with out sparking or heating. They are so designed that the magnetic field is in appreciable at a distance of fifteen feet. Usually there are three generators con nected into the switchboard, so ar ranged that they can be rua either singly or together, to operate either one part or all of the light equipment. Although in itself complex the switch-board of a man-of-war is simple compared with other switchboards. An attempt has been made to secure uni formity throughout the navy so that a man may go from one vessel to an other and, yet know how to work each board. There are two main divisions known respectively as the "lighting" and "motor" circuits. The lighting circuit is again divided into six di visions, according to the use required of them, called "continual," "battle," "geieral,' ''sea," "day" and "spe cial." *Wherever possible~the wires are car ried under the.protective deck and are so connected with feeders and covered and interlaced that even if most of the. system should be shot-away, w.h'at re mains would still be effective. In the most impojtint places, as thae bridge and the; magazines, the system is double; in other places, as the side lihts, masthead and towing lights, two lamps are provided, so that if one fails the-other may be used. In the magazines the lanterns are enclosed in light boxes, provided with heavy bull's-eye lenses. *The lanterns .also have candles, so that in case the plant is'totally disabled the~men in the maga zines can still serve out ammunition. On some ships, as on the Texas, large, narrow spaces built between the maga zines supply the place- of the boxes, and lanterns placed in these illuminate several magazines at one time. One of the most important items in the equipment of a battleship is the search-light. The standard sizes are! 18, 24 and 30 inches, the sizes given being the diameter of the reflecting~ mirror at the back of the arc. The movement of the light can be con trolled either by hand or by motors. The iendency recently has been to the use of motors, because by this system the light can be placed high up in a commanding position, while the operator remains on deck or below. The controller is a small box with a projecting handle, so connected by1 wires -with the motors in the drum containing the light that by raising or towering the handle the beam of light is raised or lowered or turned to the, right or left as the handle is turnedI in the same direction. The lights will burn six hours with one trimming, and an 18-inch light will rende- clear ly visible a light-colored object ten by twenty feet at a distance of two and one quarter miles. The 30-inch light will show the same ob.iect at three and one-half miles. The Ardois signal hoist, with which most of the modern warships are equipped, is composed of four double lanterns, similar to ie truck lights. Each half of each lantern has a sep arate wire leading to the key board with a general return wire forming the heart of the cable. As the two halves of the lanterns are of different colors, thirty combinations can be made, each one shown on the key b Ard n Incendiary Meteor. A few days ago at Fiume a large warehouse was burned down, having been, as was believed, struck by light ning. Now our correspondent tele graphs that the workmen, in clearing' the place, found a great meteoric stone which had buried itself in a deep pit. I ts weight is estimated at four ions. It is thought that the premises were I et fire to by the glowing stone.--Loln don News. Demnolishied a1 'pite HouwI~.

The rudder of a wooden ship is com posed of the stalk and the backing, which are so joined together as to form in effect a single piece. The complete rudder is coppered, to pro tect it from worms. and then, besides being practically all in one piece, it has that appearance also. The stalk is the part to which are attached the pintles. or pivots, by which the rudder is suspended and held in place, these going through eyes set in the ship's sterupost. The stalk runs up through .he stern of the ship, and to its head is bolted a cap to which are attached the ropes by means of which the rudder is con trolled. The backing is the blade part of the rudder. By far the greatest strain comes on the stalk, and the greatest strain of all comes on the head of the stalk -the rudder head-where it is held. The stalk is made of the wood most likely to stand the strain, carefully selected, sound, well-seasoned oak, while the backing is made of spruce or hard pine. The stalk is of a single, solid, massive piece, stout as an oak tree, and indeed of the dimeiisions of a small oak-something that a man can pin his faith to, if he can have faith in any wood-while the backing or blade is. like many modern wooden masts, built up. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find trees that, would yield planks big enough for the pur pose in a single piece, and the built up backing, made of pieces of selected wood, can easily be made of ample strength to withstand any strain that will be brought upon it. As to the stalk. stout and solid as the oak may be, the head may be twisted by the force of a tremendous blow from a wave upon the rudder, or, under the repeated strains of long use, the head may split, and so make the stalk useless. Then the rudder is taken out and fitted with a new stalk. A suitable stick is selected and worked down to the proper size and form, and very probably the old backing is at tached to it. The life of a rudder stalk would probably be twelve to four teen years. The backing might last as long as the ship.-New York Sun. Dreaming Is a Mental Recreation. "The popular idea or impression is that when persons dream much during a night to that extent their sleep is interfered with," remarked a well known physician to a Star reporter, "and it is a frequent thing to hear persons say that they dreamed so much during the night that they did not sleep or rest well. Now, the fact is, dreaming is as much rest or mental recreation as actual sleep in some respects, although it may not appear so on first thought. It is hard. to prove this by actual experiment, be cause the conditions are so difficult to produce. There is a ceitain amount f evidence which can be used, how ever, to prove the proposition. Time and time again- when persons. have been waked up by- other's they have explained as a reason that they did not respond quicker that they were so ngaged in dreaming that they did not hear the call. It is as clearly proven s anything can'be ithaf2 persons who r in .a dreamy condition are much irer to wake than those~ who ai'e sleeping, :as they suppose, soundly. aLke a~parent, for instance a mother, when she is- sleeping soundly, as she thinks, she can hear her child -when~ it turns oiver or moves in its crib. Now, the same parent in a dreamy condition would hardly hear a knock at the door or other loud noise. The dream so controls the brain that during its pendency the sense of hearing is blunted."-Washington3 Star. The Czar's Eccentric Physician. Dr. Zakharin, the late Czar's favor ite physician, who recently died, started life as a humble butcher's boy. Turning his attention to medi cine he seon attracted the notice of his sovereign, and becoming the best known doctor in Russia, before mid de age had secured a handsome com petency. He was somewhat of a character, and his feats of eccentric ity added to his fame. With so much patronage at his command he always insisted upon being obeyed. When the state of the late Emperor became alarming the Governor of Moscow re eived a message from'St. P'etersburg ordering him to send Professor Zakharin without delay. The Gov ernor dispatched his Aide-de-Camp to the doctor. "In two hours,"~ said the officer, "the express train will start." "The express! W'.hat do you mean? exclaimed the Professor. "The Em peror is ill, and you talk to me1 about a train leaving in two hours! Go to the railway manager and command him to get a rpecial train ready for me in twenty aiinutes" At the end of that time the train was speeding out of the depot with the doctor aboard. Origin of the Dahlia. The dahlia is a Mexican Ilower, which, as grown in 4he gardens of Mexico, cap,tivated Hernan dez, who visited the contry in 161.5, and meni tions two species. one with pale red flowers, which grew wild in the moun tains of Quanhuahuac, and was calledl "acoctli" Over a century later M. Thierry Menonville, who was sent to Mexico to steal the cochinea! insect from the Spaniards, describes the dahlia with admiration. The first seeds were b)rought to Madrid in 1788, and plauted in; the botanie gar den of the city, where the plants flow ered in Oct. 1 789. Lord Buto obtamned some of these seeds, and planted them in Ehngland, where t he p,lant fowered in 1 79(3. The modern inme comes from I)abl. the Swedhishi bot anist.

A:ul . hat SUBOCEAN PHOTOGRAPHSi PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN SUC. CESSFULLY UNDER WATER. Artificial Light Can Be Employed-Great Benefits May Be Obtained in the Ex amination of Sunken Wrecks-71ore Valuable Than Divers' Observations. Professor Louis Boutan, of the Sor bonne, has written an article for the Century describing his successful ex periments in "Submarine PhotogL-a phy." Professor Boutan, descending in a diving suit, took a number of photographs of the bottom of the sea at various depths. Some of these pic tures are reproduced in the article, including one taken by magnesium light. Professor Boutan says: The extent of the surface of the earth covered by water is vast, since it far surpasses that of the dry land. What do we know of this part of the globe hidden by the seas and oceans? Very little, it must be admitted. Ex cept along the immediate edge of these immense bowls which can be explored in diving-bells, the means which naturalists have at their disposal for examining these depths are most rudi mentary. Nobody can go down into them, as the tremendous pressure of the water renders this iipossible. For a long time, therefore, it was imagined that the bottom of the sea was one vast extent of mud, without the presence of living things; but numerous scientific expeditions fin ally proved that such was nottbe case, and that a multitude of curious and even fantastic animals were to be found there. The product of._ a-i-gle'catch, in cluding many sharks, as made by us at the Arago laboratory, convinced me that at a depth of cight hundred meters the bottom of the ocean is full of life. All these big sharks are car nivorous. In order to live, these ani mals must eat other animals; so there must be many other animals whence these come, although we know almost nothing about the-i. As regard the sea, the naturalist is in much the same .situation a- would be an inhabitant of the moon who could live in ethereal space, but could not breathe the air which envelops our earth. Let us suppose that this voyager from the ethereal regions should come in contact with our at mosphere. He would float about the highest strata without being able to penetrate them, separated from the earth by the gases which surround it. What must he do if he wishes to know something of what exists below the layer of clouds which hide our globe from his view.? He would do as our naturalists - have . done-construct dredges and nets, and, having weight ed them, would let them down like the anchor of a balloon and try and pull them along the surface of the earth. Do you think that with such primitive instruments he could obtain very precise ideas of the terrestrial globe? Every agile animal would flee before the apparatus.which, if it did not get irretrievably caught in' some oak, rock, or lofty factory chimney, might bring back, after having. scraped for some time along th~e .-surffee of the earth, bits of leaves, pebble~s mingled with soil, etc.,all of which( however, could give-only a-very- vagu6 idea con erning the constitutfon of e globe. Uip tp the- present -or alists have- done. hardly miorp this.

They drag rudimentary instru ents blindly through the depths of bhe sea. What a change will come over the situation the moment it becomes pos sible to let down to the f>5ttom of the ocean a photographic apparatus pro vided with a powerful artificial light! Although this camera will not be able to bring back pictures of wide extent, may it not succeed in satisfactorily photographing one hundred square meters of space? And will not such photographs contain a most precious fund of information? Everything leads one to believe that it will soon be possible to construct photographic apparatus which will ac complish its work successfully at any depth of water. But without going so far as this, and without launching forth into hppotheses which have not yet been realized, it may be asserted that submarine photography can already produce useful results. In the immediate vicinity of the coast, the phonographing -of land scapes, the interiors of grottoes, ani mals caught in their medium, fur nishes the student useful and precious information; and, -from the industrial point of view, one may sec how it can be employed practically. Suppose. for instance, a ship to be at the bot oin of the sea. How are we to know its exact position, and to determine the extent of the da:nage which it his suffered? A good submarine photo graph would be more valuable to the engineers than all the information which divers could fur-nishi. Bicyclng Makes the Feet Larger. "Bicycles interfere with the shoe business in more ways than one," ex plained a well-known rider of the si lent steed to a Washington Star re porter, "It is proved beyoud doub)t that riding a wheel will in one season cause the foot to grow one to one and i half inches larger. Hundreds of bicycle riders have ascertained this. With men it docs not make any differ ene; for, except in very rare cases, men do not care as much for the size of their feet as they do for comfort. With the ladies, however. it is qunite another thing. They wear bicycle shoes for riding, but find to their swr row that in a season or so they cainnot wear the size shoe they worn bef'.e they levelopedl their feet. Cycling nit. nly teuds to lengthen the foot, but also to widen it. The shoe manniiac lurers, a-s a result, turn out manLiy shoes for ladies of larger sizes than formerly. It'is the old story coming true in auother way; those who dance must pay the fiddler. If don't know that it does a nice-looking girl any harm to widen or lengthen her boot a little, but they think it does.

Practical steps for the cultivation of sugar beets in Illinois have been taken. The latest movement in this direction is the offering of premiums by the State Board of Agriculture for the best sample of fifteen sugar beets raised on a patch of not less than one-quarter acre, with certain restrictions. The importance of sugar in domestic con sumption can be readily realized by the statement that nearly as much sugar as flour is used by the average family. Any movement which looks toward the supplying of this constant and enormous demand by a home grown crop is of the first importance. Further, in parts of Illinois it is most desirable to provide a c:rop whic'i will rencw soils exhausted by a succession of the same products.
