The fourteen inch gun, one of which has just been built and tested at the naval proving ground. Rear Admiral H. E. Mason chief of ordinance of the navy has made a report to the secretary of the navy describing the results of this test and showing that the gun in its efficiency realizes the expectations of the designers. Rear Admiral Mason does not undertake to recommend 'the adoption of the new gun as a feature of the main battery of the next battleshii) to be designed, because that
question' involves many elements which are not confined to ordinance. There Are Advantages. If the next battleships are of 26,000 tons displacement it is probable that not more than that as against the twelve inch guns now carried by warships of that size. There are advantages in having as many fourteen-lnch irnna i thrp are nrw twlvp.nrTi

accomplished only by Increasing the
displacement, probably to 30,000 tons, This increase in the size of the na

do with such chief characteristics as
weight of engines, with its influences
upon speed, bunker capacity for coal,
with its relation to radius of action

When Mrs. Kendal quietly informed her friends a few days ago that she and her husband had firmly decided never to appear on the stage again, the news came as a shock to many of them.

THEIR ACTION UNUSUAL
London, March 5. Every British ac
tor or actress of note for the past twenty years has when his or her time came, bid farewell to the stage lost no opportunity of publishing the fact and
making the most of a sensational and financially pleasant final performance.
Some have even gone so far as to take
whole year saying good-bye. Not
so, however, Mr. and Mrs. Kendal. Mr
Kendal has been on the stage for more
than thirty years, but he has never learned anything beyond the art of
Sheppard's Plaid. Of course everybody knows the popular black and white check patterned cloth "Sheppard's plaid." but ninetynine people of every hundred ascribe the origin of this cognomen to some connection with the pastoral personage which is apparently Indicated. Indeed, the description is generally written erroneously by tailors as "shepherd's plaid." Sheppard was the manufacturer who first introduced this fabric, and he exhibited his invention at the great exhibition of 1851. London Scraps.

The craze reminds one of the massage craze of a few years ago and the end of which was a series of lurid exposures which resulted in the closing of most of the establishments, and the rather sudden departure for foreign climes of many members of our most exalted families. Nocturnal bathing is not without its points of suspicion. The craze has also spread into the realm of the middle class, but these folks of moderate means are obliged to be content with a box bath in their own rooms, where, with the aid of a gas ring, they imagine they
