The English Navy Of tic Futnrc.

The recent experiments at Spezzia
have shewn that steel plates manage to
keep out the terrible missiles from the
one hundred ton gun, although the
metal gets fractured i'll the operation,
and, if we contemplate still increasing
the plating of our vessels, steel will
probably replace iron in future. Against
torpedOes steel has always proved to be
a greater protection than iron, and on
this account the change would also be
advisable. But the recent preparations
of the admiralty seem to point rather to
a belief in unarmored vessels, fer Of the
forty ships that were under construction
in the summer no fewer than thirty-six
were to be unprotected with armor plat
ing. Two of the finest of the vessels,
the Iris and he.Mercury, which are scarce
ly four thousand tons measurement, but
are, nevertheless, TO be provided with
engines of no less than seven thousand
horsepower, will serve as feet dispatch
vessels though the metal is not thick
enough to afford protection from very
heavy guns. The same may be said Of
the six steel corvot ties, which were COM
menced in the summer, and which are
also considered unarmored vessels, their
strong point being not 80 much their
armament as their speed. At present,

4 Remarkable Mefeor.

The most remarkable meteor observed
in recent years passed over Kansas, Mis-
oui, Illinois and Indiana on Friday
night at $50, going northeastward. A6
Bloomington the aeTolite presented a
disk three times tho apparent size Of this
full moon. At all places reported from,
the roar caused by the passage Of this
great mass of matter through the densB
atmosphere Of the earth was alarminglY
audible, and the tremendous friction 70
which the surface parts were subject
caused continuous superficial disin-
tegratiOn, with accompanying explos-
ions, filling the air with multifarious
points OF light tiDged with every hue,
and presenting very beautiful phC-
nomenon. At Mendoza and Garrett. in
Illirois, the inhabitants were mystifiel
by a sudden illumination of the atmos-
phere, accompanied, in the latter place,
by detoDation louder aud sharper than
an ordinary cannon. In neither of there
places was the meteor visible, which
would show (as their zenith was the
most highly illuminated) that the
strangers altitude was still above tie
prevailing clouds, and its momentum
sufficient to carry itacross the continent,
although, suffering a constant deteriorl-
tion in size, it attracted far less attention n
from the denizens Of the eastern states.

the election of congressman of 1875 the
democrats carried the first and third dis
tricts, but last month all three gave re-
publican majorities, S15, 1889 and 81S
respectively. Allowing all three of them
to the republicans, the democrats will
have a majority of three, which isenough
to secure the organization of the house.

therefore safely democratic by "from

For the Boards Return.
The returning board has been roundly
abused for stealing the electoral vote of
Louisiana. The astonishing fact is now
disclosed that the returning board did
not, could not, with all its audacity, it's
bitter animus, count out enough votes to
defeat the Tilden electors. Sixty-nine
polls were objected to and counted out
by the board, many on the fimsiest
pretexts. Against these, and these alone,
was there a word of evidence? The
other polls were above suspicion. The
polls counted out, so the official docu
ments of the returning board declare,
contained 10, ,269 democratic and 1853
republican votes. The full returns from
all the polls and parishes in the state
show SO, $50 votes for R. G. Wickliffe,
the highest Tilden elector, and 77,174
votes for w. P. Kellogg, the highest
Hayes elector. Dtducting from this the
votes thrown out by the returning board,
and those counted in by a clerical error

The ANTARCTIC RegIons.

A lecture was delivered in the City
hall, Glasgow, on Thursday night by
Sir Wyville Thomson on the condition of
the antartic regions. Sir William Thorn
son presided. Sir Wyville Thomson said
he intended to direct attention to some
of the peculiarities in the physical condi-
tions of the antarlic regions, so as 10 put
him in a better position to contrast them
with those of the arctic regions. On COM
ing near the area of the icebergs in the
southern hemisphere, the bottom of the
sea was found to consist OF clay mixed
with very fine particles of gravel, and in
many cases mixed with large pebbles
and sometimes with large masses of
stone. There was no doubt that all
those deposits were due to icebergs, the
matter falling to the bottom as they
melted. The bergs they saw to the south
and breaking down and melting a little
further to the north were prismatic
blocks riven from the edge of the great
antartic ice sheet. The qualification of
the icebergs, he believed, was due TO sue
cessiye accumulations OF snow upon
nearly level surface. Takinc &"

of ice $50 to 250 feet in height, without
shelter, kept in motion by the gales, and
a great portion of it subject to high
winds and incessant falls of snow. They
