The great strike in South Wales, which
caused eighty thousand work-people to
remain idle from January to the end OF
March, has ended in compromise. 1t
began with an attempt on the part OF the
masters to reduce wages ten per cent.
from New Years day, and ended by the
men accepting that reduction for week
as a concession to the offended dignity
of the masters. Wages we're then TO be
computed at the rates in force before the
strike. aud to continue until the end OF
March, when there was to be a positive
advance. 1t is now useless 10 discuss
the wisdom Of the course pursued on
either side, but it is indisputable that
both master and men have lost heavily
and that the foolishness Of loek-outs OF
strikes has received another striking
demonstration.

4 Fioafin< Iron Monster.

An English paper contains the
following account of the new iron
( clad Devastation, recently added 70
the British navy: The pOnderous
monster which sqqats upon the as
tonished waters with a dead weight
Of ten thousand tShS, takes an ordin-
airy wave with stolid indifference,
whether she receives them on end or
upon bow, beam or quarter The
prOdigious hill Of foam which her
stern piles up when under way,
washes as was expected, clean over
her forward deck, and she is often
submerged aft f; but her massive mid
section rides quietly enough, and
those on board her, when anchored in
the roolling tideway say that she was
steadier than the house ashore. She
turns with great readiness and in q
small circle, and her speed, as proved
in six trials along the measured mile,
is not only equal to the promise of
her designers, but it exceeds expeeta-
ton.
The mighty engine driving this
island Of iron, with an Indicated
power Of 6, 800 horses, with - revo-
Iutions TO the minute, got fifteen knots
and a half out of the ship. and her
Eaesa rate at full steam is thirteen
knots and three-guarters. Here,
therefore, is craft which Is yulnera-
bic only to few guns, has the swift
ness Of a small packet, and the hard
iness-thanks to her twin screws Of a
tug, while she could utilize the quail
ties TO hurl upon the sides Of an op-
ponent the awful force Of all her
10000 tons, moving with the velocity
of a spear On board this remarka-
bic man-of-war there are no less than
thirty distinct and separate engines.
and, indeed, the value which she re.
presents is as serious as her fighting
capacity. What remains TO be learn

1T viii have absorbed nearly all per-

on the fact that water has the facul-

does without increasing its own bulk.
The colder the water is, the greater
its capacity TO contain these gasses.
At ordinary temperature. pint OF

Ia This capacity is nearly doubled
by reducing the temperature to that
of ice. Hence water kept in a room

When our troops, under Gen. Ne
Clellan, penetrated the mountain re-
gion of West Virginia, in May, 1861,
they encountered in a quiet nook on
the side Of Laurel Ridge. a yenera-
bic matron standing in the door Of q
log cabin One Of The nen accOsted
her with
"Well,oId lady where's your iag?''
Il hain't got no flag, was the
prompt reply.

she answered in astonishment

the cabin she called. "Sam. Sam!T
-Well, what is it mother - said a

| think this view partially false.
Some horses viii bslk sny wav, and
some cannot be made balk. When
