“MAXIM SILENCER" FOR SHIPS
It Ig Claimed They Will Absolutely
Do Away With Noise Made
by the Motors.
Flight ships now sailing the Pacific
ocean are equipped wills, great
silencers, weighing S.OOO pounds each,
the invention of Hiram Percy Maxim,
famous ns I In* inventor of the gun
silencer hearing bis name. If success
ful, this newest "Maxim silencer” may
stimulate lie* tendency toward general
substitution of tb<* speedier, more
economical, nii-burning vessels driven
by tile super-powerful engines of I lie
Diesel type, for the present day
steamers.
“The mol ordriven ship Is the ship
of the future.” Mr. Maxim said recent
ly. * * * "However, in the past
there Inis been one great disadvant
age, the terrific noise of the Motors.
The new silencer we exited will solve
that problem."
Mr. Maxim said that, inasmuch »-*
his patents have not been issued, lie
cannot disclose I lie construction of tils
new invention. However, in general
principle it Is no! unlike other Maxim
silencers, depending on accomplishing
Its work by absorbing tlie recoil and
hence silencing tin* terrific exhaust.
Mr. Maxim says it is not dissimilar in
design to (he smaller Maxim silencers
on tin* market for several years for
use on motor and power boats.

that her hoys would never get mixed

“I.oss of memory (aphasia) and
such rare causes of ‘loss of identity'
are easily handled in Ihe navy. Undo
Sam knows his hoys not only by their
middle names, ton also by the little
lines engraved on the tips of their
fingers. It's an absolutely up-to-date
safeguard for the boys In ttie service
and their families. For the matter
of that, the whole navy system of
caring for its men lias been perfected
to tin* finest point. Diet, exercise,
medical and dental attention, all are
arranged in accordance with the latest
Information on the subjects. It takes
good men to man good ships.”

New York.—The tale of the ‘Thou
sand and Second Night” was told in
New York by Ben Mahomet, who pro
claimed himself a sheik of Arabia and
a brother of the amir of Hedjaz.
Ben Mahomet arrived here with six
retainers. His mission, he said, was
a world wide search for Sari, Turk
ish heiress, who, the sheik declared,
wtts plighted to marry the amir.
Sari, according to Ben Mahomet,
was last seen in Constantinople talk
ing to a sailor from an American war
ship which had put into the port. How
tin* Turkish maid was aide to escape
the vigilance of her nurse long enough
to hold this conversation was not ex
plained by the Arabian chieftain, hut
after this meeting it seems Sari disap
peared.
Her father Iladahismo, grieved bit-
lerly for I tie loss of his daughter, who
was known the length and breadth of
Turkey for hot- beauty and charily,
and soon lie died, leaving her $100,000,-
000. Iladahismo was in Turkey, ac
cording to Ben Mahomet, “like Rocke
feller is in America.”
When it was considered certain that
.Sari had left her native land, either
voluntarily or with an abductor, the
amir is said to have asked his broth
er, who studied at Cambridge universi
ty in England, to search the world for
her nnd to spare no expense. From
Turkey Ihe sheik went, to France,
thence to Italy and Tangier*, and
finally set sail for the new world, ar
riving in New York via Halifax. Ben j
Mahomet announced that if detectives
here had failed him he would appeal
to the government at Washington and
seek to learn what ship it was that
touched at Constantinople soon after
the armistice, when Sari disappeared.

Spelling by Ear.
A simplified spelling society in Lon
don lias developed a form of language
with a one sound, one symbol notation
of letters and digraphs. A sample of

The system looks very much Pke
spelling by ear. It ought not. to re
quire any very complicated system of
mles. in fact, many people habitually
spell by car without tin* authority of
the society's diction. There are many j
people who have given up further nt* t

for study by Chinese in France to
learn from personal observation how

rely upon the efforts of many Chinese
