a Tail story About al Shaky Corn
Field.
San Francisco Chronicle.


Colorado has a subterranean lake
of considerable extent, covered
with soil about eighteen inches
deep. On the soil is cultivated Il
field of corn, which produces thirty
bushels to the acre. The ground s
a black mari in nature. and IN Ill
probability was at one time an open
body of water, on which accumula-
ted vegetable matter, which as
been increased from time to tin e,
until now it has a crust sufficiently
strong and rich to produce fine
corn. While harvesting the hands
catch great strings of fish by max
ing a hole in the earth. A person
rising on his heel ana coming down
suddenly can see the growing corn
shake all around him. Anyone
having sufficient strength to drive
Il rail through the crust will find on
releasing it that it will disappear
altogether.

5000. The total loss on tho Aus
TRAN. side was thirty-tbrec killed
and 124 wounded out of 1000, the
loss on the unarmored ship Kaiser
being twenty-five killed and eighty
two wounded, that is, two-thirds of
the whole. The battle Of LISA was
an eloquent advocate for the incipient
system of iron-plating ships of war.
In the war in South America in
1877 two unarmored English ships
had difficulty in repulsing tho at
tacks of the Peruvian monitor
Huascar, and had in the end to let
it go unmolested. Of that new
malignant and deceitful weapon, the
fish torpedo, we have as yet no ex-
periencc, for the published reports
of the Russo Turkish war arc so I'M
trustworthy that one can found no
opinion on them. The result Of
observation up to this date may be
condensed as follows: First, unar-
mored ships connot maintain fight
of any duration against the heavy
guns of ships and forts; secondly,
iron-plating is still an effectusl
defense against the heaviest guns,
and consequently indispensable for
battle ships: thirdly, rams and torpe-
does are, indeed, formidable weapons
in sea fighting, but cannot supersede
artillery as the chief weapon, and
they promise more chance of success
in ironclads because of their better
protection against the enemy's ar.
tillery) than in unarmored ships.

,RoN.cLADs AS FIGHTERS.

Vice-Admiral Won Henk has pub
lishcd an article in military
periodical on the value of iron-clads
with reference to the bombardment
of Alexandria. As military history
has as yet furnished but few mat.
crials for forming final Judgment
as to the value of iron.plating for
ships, the purposes aimed at in its
introduction, and the question
whether these purposes have really
been attained, the writer thinks it
desirable to draw as many lessons as
possible from every event in this
field, and thus to increase our ex-
perience.
He begins with history of IRON
plating. The introduction of shell
guns, soon after 1850, much dimin-
ished the value of Nelson's battle
ships, with 80 or 100 guns. The
necessity of protecting ships-of-war
better against artillery became still
more urgent when the introduction
of steam made their construction
more complicated. In the Crimean
war the Russian shells did great
execution on ships. Opinions differed
greatly however, especially in
England, as to the value of ironclads
and the necessity of their introduce
ton, until the fight of the Confederate
ship Merrimac with the wooden
ships of the Union in Hampton
Roads, and her fight with the Mon
itor, placed the great superiority Of
ironclads beyond a doubt. On the
9Th OF March, 1882, the Merrimac
attacked four wooden frigates and
completely destroyed two of them.
Next day she unexpectedly met the
ironclad battery-ship Monitor, a
mere dwarf in comparison, and was
compelled to retreat, severely
damaged. The impression made
by this fight was enormous, and it
showed two things-thc necessity of
manipulating for battle-ships, and Of
arming them with guns Of large
calibrc and great piercing power.
The first opportunity of estimating
the value ofiron-plating in conflict,
ship to ship, on the high seas, was
afforded by the battle of LISA on
the Goth of Jury, 1866. In that
action the relations between armor
and guns were about the same as
they are now. Seven Austrian
ironclads were opposed to eleven
Italians. The armof of the ships
was pretty equal in strength on both
sides; the Italians were stronger in
artillery. The result is well known.
Deducting $50 who persisted with
the Re d'Italia and the Paiastro, the
Italians lost only ITO men out of

or have somebody else do your work.
That give me an idea, and acted
upon It. Stepping into the nearest
saloon, I invited all bands up to
drink. They responded with alacrity.
l picked out the toughest customer
in the lot and asked him what he did
for a living. Nothing he replied.
How much will you charge week
to do my drinking for me3' 'wot
dye mean?' he asked. 1 explained
to him that had \ perpetual thirst,
and that whisky untitled me for
business, SOL wanted him to do my
drinking for me. IN do it for SIS

/, and we shook hands on it. / took
him to the store with me and sat him
down in a corner ont of sight. When
began to feel thirsty l took him
out and made him drink good big
glass Of whisky. Somehow, 1 felt
better after seeing him drink. Well,
had to take him out several times
that day, and before night he was
pretty full. By bedtime he was
helplessly drunk. 1 had been out
with the boys and taken him, along.
They kicked at first at having such
a measly looking tramp along, but
when explained they thought it a
good joke. / got that fellow drunk
every day for a mounth, and then he
threw up the job. My appetite for
drink was too strong for him. l
hired another drinkcr, and he stayed
by me for three weeks. Then /
caught him throwing a glass Of
whisky over his shoulder, and 1 dis.
charged him Well, 1 used up nine
ablebodicd drunkards before l alb
solutcly quenched my thirst; but
1 quenched it at last. l never think
of taking drink now."

"Do," said the merchant. 81 am

long time-a year, perhaps-but you
stick to it, and you'll down your
appetite to dead certainty. If you
