Naval Experts Say Defences on Is- land Are Impregnable To Attack by War Ships, However Powerful. | As shown in the speclal cable des- patches to the Herald from London yesterday, the eyes of the navall world's experts are centered upon the! island of Heligoland, Germany's Gib-| raltar, id the North Sea. Naval offi-| cers here were interested in the tre-| mendous possibilities which the facts! related in the Herald revealed. The' general opinion among naval officers and experts here is that the German squadrons will not attempt an open' engagement with the British fleet in the North Sea, but will remain in the sale haven of the Kiel canal, secure! behind the chain of coast defences. ' of which Heligoland is the principal link. ' i In 1890 Great Britain bartered Heligoland for a portion of German territory in East Africa. To-day Bri-i tain finds the island the key to the impregnable wall of redoubts, which protects Germany's North Sea coast- line, the Kiel canal and the ap proaches ta Han ® and Bremen. ! has carefully ob- served policy of the > appears impossible," said a naval officer yesterday.

Later, however, a large soction of the rocky plateau was made to con- ceal heavy guns in armored turrets, | great coast weapons on disappearing mountings and a formidable array of rapid fire guns.

Children Garhed in Trappings of Woe Throng Heaven. Berwick, Pa., Aug. 10 With three responsible residents of Het- lerville telling of strange pictures they saw outlined in the skies, the superstitious in that vicinity are looking for some calamity, just what, they do not know. Harry Hudelson was returning home from Nescopek when, he says he was startletl to see visibly out- lined in the heavens a picture of an immense house filled with children dressed in white with a black band on the arm of each.. As he stood looking, the children cameé. out of the house in calumus of two, divid- ing al the door, with each column forming in an opposite direction. Mrs. Rush Lutz, a neighbor, had a similar experience. She saw an immense house in the sky, like a picture thrown on the screen, with tie wind waving the canvas. The climax cme, however, when Miss Pearl Pursel, knowing nothing o¥ the experiences of the others, de- clared she saw an angel outlined in the heavens THINKS HE CAN FLY. John W.

Mr. Payne has a theory that a man with the proper equipment can fly in the same manner, that a bird) does and he has apparatus with which he expects to accomplish the feat. The inventor has made careful measure ments of birds as regards weight, area they have exposed to the air, and using these measurements he has made his= apparatus in proportion to the relative size of the birds and a man, About a year ago Payne completed the outfit but found that it was somewhat small so he constructed another outfit, Toronto Street Market.

Among her ladies-in- waiting was Sophie Chotek, a young Bohemian of good family The archduke was at once smitten by the charms of the beautiful girl and he determined to make her his wife. When the archduchess Isabella learned of the turn of affairs she at once dismissed the g'fl and sent her home to Bohemia. The archduke re- turned to Vienna and announced his intention of marrying the prewty Bo- hemian, to his uncle, the emperor. There was a long stormy scene at the palace, but in the end the arch- duke wom, but only after he had made an oath that childrem by this marriage should not inherit the throne. The wedding took place very quietly--not even the bride groom's. brother being present. However, it turned. out happily, and hree children were born to the couple.

But the duch- ess never heard, for she became un- conscious after the first shot. The children had remained at Schoenbran with the emperor while their parents were payiog Ftheir ocial visit to Bosnia and were playing in the garden beside him when the news of the assassination reached the palace. The heart- broken old ruler is said to have gathered them in his arms and told them of the awful fate of thir de- voted father and mother.
