CAPT. LAYS Internal machine,
which is now being experimental
with at Washington, if it does half
that is promised for it, will practically
make an end to naval warfare, for no
armor nor gun would avail against it..
1t would destroy any vessel that conld
be set afoat before single shot could
be fired, 1t consists of small sub.
marine, cigar shaped craft. propelled
by chemical engines, and steered by
Geographic apparatus communicating
with the shore or small fleet crafts
from which the machine is launched.
It carries barrel and a half of dyna-
mite-enough when exploded under
the largest iron clap to blow it to
atoms, and the dynamite is also ex-
ploded by an electrical current trans
mitted through a wire connected with
the shore or vessel from which the
machine is launched. All that is need.
ed to sink the most formidable navy
atloat is fleet tug or two equipped
with, say, dozen of these machines,
which could be launched before the
tug got within range of the vessels to
be Destroyed and propelling them
selves under the water with almost
incredible speed, could be steered by
the telegraphic apparatus directly
under the hostile ships and exploded
by an electric spark to destroy them
Should the machine prove equal to
this when it gets into use,as shortly
it would among all nations, naval
battles would be no more thought
of than battles in balloons.

Selling the Old Farm.

There is a constant buying and
selling of farms going on from year
to year in our own country. This
restIessness on the part of the farm
err, and this desire to change pres
emit location fer another one hundreds
of miles Cd, is so frequently witnessed
in our day that we cease to wonder
at it. In the time of our forefathers,
when a man settled on farm he
commonly continued through life,
and then left it to his SON In times
gone by the same farm was first oG-
cupied by the grandfather, ard so on
by the son and grandson. Then the
good old home was reveronced and
the occupancy of it was considered a
great privilege. There was satis>
faction felt by the successor that tho
predecessor was his relative, cultiva>
ted the same fielia, wandered by the
same brooks, traversed the hills, and
ate the fruit of the same orchard. -
Then there was home feeling, hons
associations, aud home attachments.
Now the farmer looks more to pecu-
mary gains, and when offered large
price for his land, hestates not TO
sell. He quits his beautiful homo,
his well cultivated acres, emigrates
to the far west, and commences life
of hardship that he never dreamed
of. 1t can safely be said that where
one man succeeds many fail in this
undertaking. If he could Only sell
his new place how quickly he would
HE back to his old homo now occu-
pied by strangers, and tho enclosure
containing the graves OF his kindred
going TO ruin. With the advent OF
spring, many will dispose OF their
farms and remove TO a far off coun-
try. Our advice is to ROMAN where
you are. Ii you arc comfortably
