The race between big guns and armor- plated
ships is a Eenar kable one i: the greater the gun,
the thicker must be the ships armor. 1t is
hard to guess how far off the limit of projectile
force aid power of resistance may be. A few
years ago ships were built of wooden planks.
Then came sheet iron. Then, for strength, we
had one-inch iron plates backed by thick
beams. AS the plates grew, the guns grew
faster. Inch was added to inch in one: pounds
were added to pounds of gun-powder and iron
in the other. To day, in the English dock
yard at Portsmouth, ship-Of.war called the
Inhexible is beng built, sheatbed in part with
two feet of solid iron armor, constructed to
carry four eighty-ope ton guns each costing
$40 900, while the displacement of this mighty
mau-owar will be IL ,095 tons, and her engines
of 5000 horse power. The guns of the Infexi-
BILE will be able to throw 500 lbs. OF iron a
perienced would cry-warlike ironmon&ery
must stop at these awful limits. ship with
twenty-four inches of solid cuirass upon her,
and guns which singly weigh much as a
Thousand mon, ought to be the Ultima Th&IS of
such wild rivalry. But even while those
colossal pieces are being manufactured, naval
guDners, not it Bedlan1, are seriously planning
q ships cannon of 275 tons weight, to throw q
shot of two tons and a half with Thousand
pounds of powder, a range of nine miles
With the coil syetem there is scarcely any
limit to the size of guns. Meantime, in Eng
land the specifications for ship of war with
three feet of arnor upon her are actually
drawn 30 that supposiDg appliances be found
to move such cannon and to roll such plates, we

POPULAR CONTEMPT OF THE THERMOMETERS.
The very use of the thermometer to regulate
the temperature of room seems to he un
known in most houses and You will see
sedentary men sitting in q room for hours
with a fire hich brings the temperature up
to seventy degrees, and then for hours more
with the fire nearly out and the temperature
at ffty-two degrees or lower: They know, we
suppose, that sudden fall of eighteen degrees
will kill off men of low vitality in hundreds,
will give, perhaps, third of mankind a "tOuch
of the liver" and will inflict on half the re-
mainder an "infuenza" nearly as annoying
and almost as dangerous as fever, but once
indoors, they fail to realize their knowledge.
Even when the circulation is weak and the
old are aware that cold is their enemy, they
will go from a heated library to chilly dining
room, Quite unaware that they might as well

scOld their daughters for throwing off their
wraps while heated from ball-no doubt q
dangerous practice, but not bit more so than
the sudden changes in which the gcolders
habitnaIly indulge. The contempt for the
Thermometer, the only Trustworthy guide in
firemakiDg, is positively perverse.-Speotat0r.

OUR GRAND EXPOSITION.

Mr.. Samuel Mullen, the energetic Superin-
tendent of the Grand Industrial Exhibition,
initiated the project Tuesday by visiting the
Fair Grounds in company with Theo. Lilien-
thai, the photographer. for the purpose Of
having views taken Of the different buildings
and prominent features of the grounds. Nine
Photographic views were taken. comprising
the Grand Stand, Art Hall, Power Hall and
Engine Room, the Orchestra Stand. the Main
Entrance, the Garden Entrance, an interior
view Of the garden, and general view OF the
entire grounds
The day was unusually favorable. and the
views are all remarkably clear and distinct.
It is Mr.. Mulien's purpose to have these
views autographed.
Thus it will be seen that the management
of the project mean business, and intend
losing no time in putting their plans into
operation. This prompness is the best possible
guarantee of success. and doubling Thomases,
il any there be, will soon see that the idea is
mot only plausible but sure Of execution. Let
ms hope that our friends in other States will
be as prompt in their Endorsement and co.

notwithstanding the statement of the driver,
the assertion Of the ladies is still believed.
Col. W. F. Loan, Supt.:
In compliance with your instructions in
regard to the street car outrage that has been
perpetrated by police officer and soldier
upon two ladies on Sunday, the 18th instant,
have ascertained that the drivers name who
conducted the street car is Thos. Carroll, and
the number of the car 101.
After conversing with the driver he in.
formed me that at the above mentioned time
there was no soldier or police in his car, only
two citizens, and that he heard one tap of the
bell and looking back saw two ladies jumping
out Of the car.
Respectfully, Q. REY,
Captain Fifth Precinct.

THANKSGIVING.
The o5th of November Appointed
for the Holiday.

The following Thanksgiving proelama-
ton has been issued: sa s@AA4
A Proclamation BY the President of the
United States of Ame1ica:
In accordance with a practice, at once
wise and beautiful, we have been accus-
toned, as the year is drawing to a close,
to devote an occasion to the humble ex-
preston of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaseless and distinguished benefit
bestowed upon us as nation, and for
His mercies and protection during the
closing year. Amid the rich and free
enjoyment of all our advantages, we
should not forget the source from whence
they are derived, and the extent of our
obligations to the Father of all mercies.
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to Almighty God for favors be-
slowed upon us during the past year. By
His continuing mercy, civil and religious
liberty have been maintained, peace has
reigned within our borders, labor and
enterprise have produced their merited
rewards, and to His watchful providence
we are indebted for security from pesti-
lence and other national calamity Apart
from national blessings, each individual
among US has occasion TO thoughtfully
recall and devoutly recognize the favors
and protection which he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, l, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do re-
commend that on Thursday, the 18th
day of November, the people of the
United States, abstaining from all secu-
lar pursuits and from their accustomed
avoeations, do assemble in their respect
i've places of worship and, in such form
rs may seem most appropriate to their
own hearts, offer to Almighty God their
acknowledgements and thanks for all His
mercies, and their humble prayers for
continuance of His Divine favor.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunt1
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done st
the City of Washington this 9th dav of
October, in the year of our Lord 1875.
and OF the independence of the United
States the Tooth. u. s GpA0T
By the President.
