THE GIEBRALTAH QTSESTION

----- -
Rear-Admiral Sullivan has come forward in sup-
port"of Admiral Grey's statement that the town
anchorage of Gibraltar would, in case of war with
Spain, be exposed to the fire of long-range guns.
Admiral Sullivan considers that the suc-
cessful bombardment of Sweaborg affords a good
illustration of this argument. lie thinks that the
result of that attack proves that no town or mass
of buildings of any hind is safe from destruction by
bombardment either from sea or land, unless the
protecting batteries are considerably advanced.
The bombardment of Gibraltar could be met
in only two ways : either we must resign
ourselves to the destruction of the town, or we
must send a large force to occupy, if possible,
a position in advance. On the expense or risk of
such a proceeding it would be useless to comment.
The Admiral further gives his opinion that there has
been much exaggeration as to the expense
of making a secure harbour for coaling at Ceuta.
He thinks we could provide an excellent harbour,
far superior to anything possible at Gibraltar, for a
million and a half, and he believes it could be com-
pleted sooner than Admiral Grey pro, oses. Before
Ceuta is condemned as more unhealthy than
Gibraltar, its sanitary condition should be inquired
into. Admiral Sullivan quotes from his own early
experience to prove the dangerous character of the
anchorage at Gibraltar in stormy weather.

An Illinois inventor has a machine for cutting
down corn two rows at once. The stalks are taken be-
tween projecting metal-faced fingers, and as the machine
advances the butt of the ear is brought in contact
with a short sickle, playing at the rear of the fingers,
cutting it off, while the stalk passes under the machine
without being pulled up ; the ears are received into a large
hopper at the rear of the machine, and discharged when it
is full.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—iIoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Disorder of the Throat and Chest.—Whoever has once
made trial of these invaluable remedies can truthfullybear
testimony to their astonishing efficacy, their curative and
preservative powers against the many maladies of winter.
The ointment, rubbed on the chest, acts most beneficially
in arresting inflammation, irritation, congestion, and all
pectoral complaints In ulcerated sore throat, diphtheria,
mumps quinsey, and similar ailments, the ointment should
be well rubbed upon the throat and summit of the chest at
least twice a day, while the pills are taken internally, ac-
cording to the plainly-printed directions. Holloway's re-
medies constitute in themselves a perfect safeguard against
most diseases dependent upon changeable or inclement
weather. They counteract the sources of disease.
