tr Ambassador's Selaries Ample. A former ambassador of the United States to one of the European capitals said the other day that the $17,590 salary which diplomats of that rank receive is ample to support such an official in all the dignity of his positicn. "You hear a great deal about the members of our diplomatic service being underpaid," he said, "but all such talk is absurd. It comes from the fact that nearly all our ambassadors an recent years have been suite wealchy and have lived beyond their official iacome. They spent perhaps twice as much as they were really called upon to do, and because of this the story goes out thai they relinquish their posts worse off financially than before they took up the work.

All of this is true enough, but it is no argument for an increase in salaries. Any American can go to Lon don and perform all the social obliga tions devolving upon the and still have a few dollars to the good at the end of his term. And this leads to the reflection that while lately all of our diplomatic representatives at the court of St. James have been very well off, in earlier years they were vorrespondingly poor."

E. Underwood. Divorce Law in Georgi. Atlanta, Ga. -The shortest bill of the Georgia legislative session, one of the most unmistakable in meaning, and one which has aroused great interest, is that introduced by Representative Thomas of Pierce county, which, if it becomes a law, will absolutely wipe out all divorce laws of Georgia statutes-books.

The bill in full is as follows: "Be it enacted by the general assembly of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this act there shall be no more divorce cases Georgia for any cause. "Be it further enacted, that all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed." Mr. Thomas made no explanation whatever of his bill. Under the rules governing the legislature, debate will be in order in the house when 1 the bill comes up for a third reading, when there will undoubtedly be a lively discussion over its merits. It has now been referred to the general judiciary committee.

The opinion prevalent among members of the house is that the committee will return an unfavorable report. A stir was created when the bill was read, and in the buzz of personal conversation which followed it could easily be seen that the majority of the representatives did not take kindly to its provisions. To friends at the time, however, the author of the bill expressed his firm conviction that it should pass. He believes that trival causes are too often accepted in divorce courts, and that these latter institutions are 111 need of a check-rein. The Georgia divorce law is a strange mixture of elasticity and puritanism.

Divorce is granted on almost any vali i ground, although a total separation can be effected only by the concurrent verdict of two juries, sitting at different sessions.

Visit Hayle, a little port on the coast of Cornwall, has been attracting considerable attention of late, owing to the fact that it is the place where cordite is made, and the making of high explosives has recently been a matter of parliamentary inquiry. Cordite was first adopted for military purposes by the British government in the year 1895. The manufactory at Hayle was established in 1888, when cordite was sold for use only in mining operations.

The explosive is now said to be the perfection of smokeless powder, the most unerring propelling agency yet discovered. It derives its name from its shape. and in of tuanuracuure its shape suggests t. appearance of discolored macaroni. is made all sizes to fit the charges 0 various weapons used by land and se.

forces from 12-inch naval gun, taking cords half an inch in diameter, down to the army pistol, which takes threads not exceeding one-hundredth part of an inch in thickness. The progress of manufacture is intricate. But one of the essentiais may be mentioned. Mixed acids must be forced up to a tower at the highest point of the estate, to be mixed with glycerine, when the first process of nitrating takes place. From here the nitro-glycerine permeates back to the lower levels, increasing in purity at each successive halting place.

There are only two divisions of the cordite factory, colloqually known among the men as the "outside" and the "inside." The "outside" comprises those departments which are not primarily dangerous, and where the stringent precautions which rule the "inside" are not essential. In the "inside," on the other hand, there are iron rules which must be obeyed to the letter. The visitor who crosses the danger area under the conduct of the manager must submit to be searched, so that nothing in the nature of glass, knives or matches is left in his pockets. He will not be allowed to pass beyond the door of the shops, though he can observe the operations from the entrance. No one is allowed to set foot upon the polished white floors who has not donned special soft-soled Chicago News.

Appreciation of Patti, Last winter Mme. Patti was staying for a few days in an isolated village at the extreme end of Yorkshire. To kill the monotony of the place the prima donna went one night to a concert given in aid of a certain villige instifution. Not half of the performers turned up. Appreciating the difficulty, Mme.

Patti -incognita, of course -offered to oblige the audience with a song or two Then she sang, in her own glorious way three of her sweetest ballads. At the close the chairman approached and in solemn tone thanked her. "Well, miss," he said, "you've done uncommon well And although 'Arry Ock, the jug who thinks nowt of takin' 'old pokers and a'swallorin' needle turn up, yet you've please siberably, miss." Lyman D.
