Firing Oil-shells At See.

OF late number of experiments have been
made at Folkstone, England, to test the value
OF oil as a means Of calming troubled
waters-' One Of these experiments is that
referred to by Chambers Journal: "a sec
ond experiment was made at the same place
with Mr.. Gordon's invention. This consists
of firing shells filed with oil, which, when
the shell bursts spreads itself over the water,
Each shell contains about. three-quarters of
gallon Of OIL Thsy are fred from NOR
tars. charge Of eight ounces Of pebble
powder being used The shell Is SIM
Ply an oi-fask, at the bottom Of which
is a recess for a fuse Of somewhat pecu-
liar construction. 1t consists Of two small
chambers. In these there is projecting sub
marine fuse about an inch in length. The
fuse is capped with composition which rem
ders it absolutely waterproof, and Is % con-
structed as to secure its ignition with unfailinR
certainty. Then the fuse d 20 tuned that it
bursts at the time required. and just q the
shell is touching the surface Of the water.
The oil from each shell covers a very con.
siderable area of surface Somewhere about
a dozen Of these shells were fired at q range
Of from $50 to 500 yards The effect was
wonderful. The Kissing and raging waters
were gradually allayed. For considerable
space the sea was converted into lake with
gentle swell in which ship or boat
could ride with perfect ease"

Stand from Under.


At q rece- meeting Of the Johns Hopkins
Literary society in Baltimore, poems were
recited in Latin, modern Greek, Danish, Nor
wegian, japanese, Chinese. and nine other
languages A strong guard Of police and a
competent ambulance corps were in attend
ance, and no persons under the age of IS
were admitted. Owing to these precautions
no fatal results were reported, and most Of
the participants in the violent exercises
are doing well, and will be able to stand up
on their elbows and take a little light nour-
ishment something like Greek root tea, in
day or two At one time during the CON-
test between a pad riding Chinese poem and
a bareback romance in ancient Chaldee, the
governor threatened to call out the troops.
but all danger was averted before this des-
perate step was necessary. The Johns Hop
kins Literary society has since. in its enfee-
blei condition. been captured and placed IN a
strong iron cage. but it is one Of those things
that are liable to break out at almost any
time and there is no telling what it may not

BREAKING BRAGG IN TWO.
The Surprise and Panic AT Missionary
Ridge.

The Surprise and Panic AT Missionary
Ridge.
Detroit Free Press
When all things are weighed and meas.
ured, the battle Of Missionary Ridge may bs
termed one of the most singular great bat
ties Of the war. Bragg had a position from
which it did not appear possible for five
times his force to drive him. To reach the
foot Of the ridge the Federals must come
across plain about two miles wide, every
foot of it swept by the Confederate artil-
lery. 1t would he wearisome task for
hunter to make his way up the side
of the mountain to-day, clear as it is, but the
Federal troops went up in regiments and
brigades, all the time under hot fire. and
the ground terribly difficult. While Bragg
had the strong position in front and tanks,
his field-pieces on the crest were planted 80
far back that they were Of no use to sweep
the side Of the mountain. While his right
held Sherman at Tunnel hill, and his left
kept Hooker in check at Rossville, his front
was really weak. 1t was weak because it
felt itself strong. When the Federals
first moved to the attack it was looked upon
by Confederate officers with the greatest
surprise. 1t was not in reason to believe that
lines of battle could cross that plain, drive in
the pickets, carry the rifle pits, scale the rug
ged side, and drive like wedge through the
center Of the Confederate line; but this was
done.
II is a matter Of history that Grant did not
contemplate movement beyond the foot
of the ridge for that day at, least. 1t was
the totally unexpected rush up the mountain
that created surprise and CONSERVATION and
panic. 1t was, in the language of Confed-
crate officer, totally uncalled for, and
blow below the belt" There was some ter
rifle fighting before Bragg's lines were bro
ken, but every Confederate fought with a
cloud over him. He couldn't understand
how or why that supposed impregnable cen
ter should have been attacked. One brigade
gave way before the Federal wedge and let
the current of blue pour in. 1t was brigade
of brave officers and fighting men, and yet
one good regiment ought to have held the
ground Bragg had no idea Of defeat
Grant had little hope Of victory. While Sher.
man could not advance an inch, and Hooker
was losing three men to one, rush at the
very strongest portion of Bragg's position
broke him in two.

The dying echo Of the fuller strain
That shall never, never hear again.

What hands have touched it! Fingers small
Since sin and weary with Gfes toll and
Dear clinging hands that long have been at

Folded serenely on quiet breast.

To thoughts Of many colors and desires,
With whispering fingers;
All are silent now, the farewell said,
The last song sung, the last tear sadly shed;
Yet love has given it many dreams to keep
In this lone room where only shadows creep
And silence fingers.
The old piano answers to my call,
And from my fingers lets the lost notes fall.
