FOTJLIC GO 319-321 STREET Military Men Can Now Make Observations Without Unngor. The ordinary telescope and spyglass which military officers have used for more than 100 years is gradually giving place to an instrument far more powerful and less likely to expose an observer to the long distance fire of an enemy, says The Scientific American. The list of dead and wounded sent home from South Africa shows that the modern high power magazine riflo has rendered the lot of the commanding officer far more hazardous than it once was. This increased danger and the great ranges at which modern battles are fought have been the chief reasons why the ordinary spyglass has been found inadequate by the modern army officer. The new Instrument consists of two tubes hinged together and carried by a central handle.

Each tube is. provided with an objective and with an eyepiece. By means of a system of total reflection prisms the image formed by the objective is so deflected that the eyepiece, mounted at right angles to the tubes, may properly present it to the eye. When the instrument is open, the distance between the two objectives Is about 1G inches. The lenses and tubes are so arranged that a stereoscopic effect is obtained.

In order to make use of the stereoscopic spyglass the eyepieces are first purposely focused. Since in the majority of cases both eyes of the same' person are not equal, the two eyepieces are focused independently. The instruments are regulated for a 2.G inch spacing of the eyes, which Is thejaverage. SAFETY FIELDGLASS. For persons having eyes differently spaced there Is a very simple mechanism for regulating the apparatus.

A marking arrangement permits of making such regulations once for all. The stereoscopic spyglass may be employed in two different positions of the telescopes, one nearly horizontal and the other nearly vertical. It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the utility of the instrument from a military point of view. From a very Interesting report made by lieutenant Colonel Becker of the Swiss army we select the following passage: "With a common ordnance fieldglass we observed at a distance of about two miles a trigonometric signal situated at the same height as ourselves and on the verge of a forest. It was impossible to recognize whether this sigual was upon the very outskirts of the forest or remote therefrom.

Upon making the same observation with the stereoscopic spyglass the signal appeared remote from the edge of the forest, and it was possible, besides, to estimate the distance that separated It therefrom at 40 or 50 feet. The artilleryman will at once recognize the advantages that may be derived from so precise an observation." The Instrument under consideration magnifies 10 times and embraces a linear field of Go yards. Its weight is about a pound and a half, and It rriay be easily carried in a caae. SuKar Inventions Wanted. The Hawaiian Planters' association has offered $0,500 in prizes to inventors of labor saving machines to be used In the sugar business.

Three machines are wanted, which planters think some one should be able to invent, and they are willing to pay for each. For a machine to cut cane the planters offer a prize of $2,000 to the man who submits the best plan. This sum will be increased to $5,000 if the design is accepted and proves efficient. A caue transporter and a machine to load cane into cars are also wanted, and for these the planters offer $1,500. Scientific American.

And then 1 felt so puzzled, and the more I thought it o'er I wondered how I'd give mamma what she had had before. But when 1 told my papa he laughed and said, "My son, Come, go with me, and you shall see how easily that's to off to the photographer's I and my daddy went. And on me his long camera the photograph man bent. And so 1 had my picture, and we put it in a frame. With funny little Cupids all flying round the name.

ft WOMAN ARCHITECT WHO SAYS THE FIELD IS FOR MEN ONLY. Where Heroines Grow The Ladles of Japan Some Sensible Baby Talk. The Cue of Gold on China The Traininar of lioj. "If a woman wants a 'career' spelled with capitals, she will do well to avoid architecture and undertake something that makes more noise and requires less work," said Mrs. E.

E. Holman, an architect of Philadelphia. "Practical architecture includes much climbing of ladders, walking of beams in unfinished houses and constant supervision of workmen. For this reason the woman who enters the profession is undertaking a business which is better suited to men than to women. "If she has in her the elements of success, however, she will succeed.

The necessary qualifications are a talent for designing, capacity for hard work, a willingness to master the details of small things, patience to work and to wait and business ability to know an opportunity when it presents MRS. E. E. HOLMAN. Itself.

She must, too, be ready to fight if necessary with stupid and incompetent people for what she knows to be right. Women are apt to excel In de signing homes, but this Is a very small part of the requirements. In its other branches men have the advantage more than in most occupations. "It has always been my aim to do my work In such a way that my clients shall not recognize that I am a woman. Indeed, many of them are entirely ignorant of the fact.

I should regret to be known as a 'woman Mrs. Holman has been in business for herself for eight years and has designed all kinds of buildings. She has houses in every state In the Union except Mississippi and has recently designed a home which is to be built in the Island of Jamaica. The material for this was cut and mill made In this country. Mrs.

Holman has designed a number of the buildings of the National Park seminary of Forest Glen, York Tribune. Where Heroines Gro-r, She Is only a Burmese woman, and even her name is not known In this country, but whatever her name may be it may here be- translated Grace Darling, for she is a saver of life extraordinary, a heroine of large proportions and a credit to her brown skinned race. From the accounts which have penetrated from the land of secrecy and a few exterior confidences it appears that she is a simple, unpretending resident of the countryside near Kanguu. In front of her home flows a stream of considerable proportions, and this proximity has bred in her a love of the water, a familiarity with its caprices and treacheries and a skill in the handling of all manner of craft fashioned to conquer the waves. On a recent Sunday six clerks from Rangun, intent upon the enjoyment of their holiday, set out from the city, guns in baud, with the idea of bringing back a load of game which should furnish food for boasting for many a weary work day.

When near the suburb of Insein, the hunters came to the conclusion that their chances might be bettered from the vantage point of the opposite shore. But they had no boat. And the woman had a boat, and it would accommodate the entire party. An arrange-" ment was made for her to ferry the sportsmen across. Midway of the stream a sudden squall sprang up, and, despite the efforts of the party, the sail was carried away, and the skiff was swamped.

Not a man could swim. The woman, however, was thoroughly at home in the water and, directing the capsized hunters to hold to the overturned boat, swam ashore, first with one and then with another. In this manner five were saved. The remaining man lost his head and fousequently his life, having released his hold on the skiff and attempted to negotiate the current. But this did not end the woman's heroism.

Exhausted as she was with her labors, she yet swam back to her own side of the shore and secured another boat, in which she sailed to the opposite bank and carried back the dripping Persimmons From Sec'. Persimmon seeds are very easily sprouted if treated properly. If they have become very dry. It is possible that germination will be slow, or perhaps they will not grow at alL They should be mixed with sand, kept moist all winter and planted in the spring when the soil is in good condition.

A. Millard of 123 East Front Street, I was doctored for Bright's disease but could get no permanent relief. Owing to rheumatism I was not able to walk without a cane and in addition to this I was very much bothered with pain across my loins and an embarrassing weakness of the kidneys.

"The Missouri Girl," which comes to the opera house next Wednesday even ing has a hold on the theatre-going public that is the envy of all other amusement promoters. Mr. Raymond seems to have struck the popular chord, and year after year this attraction goes over the same territory, and invariably to crowded houses. The reason of this ex traordinary success is due to the fact that the play contains all the better ele ments of the several classes of stage productions It has a good strong plot for the more seriously inclined, exciting, sensational climaxes for lovers of melodrama, plenty ot comedy for those who enjoy that kind of entertainment, strong specialties, to interest the vaudeville "cranks" a carload of magnficent scenery to please those who enjoy the spectacular, lovely gowns and costumes to please the ladies, and withal a production that is complete in every detail.

Tom's Cabin." AI. Martin's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company gave a matinee and evening performance at the opera house yesterday and as usual drew two good houses. This good old play never seems to lose its attractiveness and it has never been presented in a better manner than by this company. Excellent specialties weie introduced throughout the ply. The singing and dancing of the colored folks were very much appreciated.

The cake walk was loudly applauded. The scenery together with the blood hounds and ponies and good music combined to make up a very line performance. Engineering Cuimrex.

In most cases he turns from the learned professions because, he says, they are already overstocked. A young lawyer once made this complaint about the law to Daniel Webster, the famous American statesman.

Webster's reply, which has become famous, was short and sharp. "My friend," quoth he, "there Is plenty of room at the top." This is true of every career. We have nly to aim high enough.
