When the new “Texas" sailed from Hampton Ronds on her first trip in commission recently she was the most powerful battleship flying the Stuis and Stripes. Ten 14-in. rifles form her main armament, and twenty-five 6-in. rifles comprise the secondary battery, and the big guns send u 1.400-lb. she',! over 12 miles, with a penetration »t miles of 10-in. of Krupp armor. The guns are so arranged in electrically controlled turrets that the ten 14-in. guns may be ilred simultaneously. The "Texas” is of 77,000 tons displacement, 573 ft. long and 95 ft. beam. Tiie June Popular Mechanics Magazine contains a page view of the "Texas." In the June Woman's Home Companion a contributor, who iius hud ioug experience as a Hinging pupil and opera singer in Europe, writes an article entitled “To the Girl Who Wants to Bing," in which he shows why so many girls fall, who is to blame, what kind of talent is needed, anil where to study to win success. Following is an extract: "On the subject I can speak very feelingly, for my own career just escaped utter failure when I faced realization which no singer, no matter, how talented, can escape: i mean the realisation Hmt the master can do only ten per cent, of the work. The pupil must do niuety per cent. There are no good masters, there are only good pupils. The vanguard of the hosts of mosquitoes lias arrived in the city. It is expected the main army will lie along soon now. The vanguard seem lo he thin and weak and lacking confidence, for they make no vicious attacks aud apparently seem content to alight upon coat sleeves where, )l they are not swatted, they rest up for a bit, then fly away Perhaps tiie fact that summer appetlties are yet dull lias something to do with the mild manners of the mosquitos vanguard. It is still early yet for people to sit around on the grass during tiie evening. the men with their coats off and shirtsleeves rolled up. women ditto and further encouraging the mosqui toes by wearing peekaboo hosiery and Miirtwaists. Or perhap** the mosquito vunguard is composed entirely of menfolk The masculine of tiie species is not deadly, according to a bulletin just issued by tiie lofty browed scientists of the University of Wisconsin. Tlx bulletin says that the male feeds on juices of fruits and plants, and lets it go at that but the female of the species "gorges herself with blood that her eggs have abundant nourishment.
