 DENVER Col Aup r

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 About six o'clock last Sunday evening the
 fire bells of Denver rang out fierce and
 fearful alarm, which set the entire city in
 commotion. Immediately the streets were
 ty of the supposed confagration. But sooD,
 instead of a fire, it was found that water was
 the cause of the alarm.
 During the afternoon dark clouds had been
 gathering in the mountains in the west and over the ttdivide" in the south, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning and heavy rum
 bling of distant thunder. Indications were
 strong that our neighbor, Colorado Springs, seventy-five miles south of us, and the ranches and settlements in that direction were having moist experience under the
 dispensation of those murky clouds. Little did the good people of Denver anticipate the visitation in store for them. The south fork of the Platte river, rising in the Rocky Mountain ranges, runs eastward till it flows out upon the plains, thence north erly till it reaches Denver. A lofty elevation called the ''divide," about fifty miles south of this city, is projected eastward at right angles to the mountain ranges, and is several hundred feet higher than Denver. Cherry creek, having its source in the Divide some thirty miles east of the Platte, unites with it at Denver. This stream is very freakish and at times it furnishes some remarkable public exhibitions, of which that referred to on Sabbath evening was one. Usually the bed of this stream is nearly dry, showing only a sandy bottom varying from one hundred to
 five hundred feet in width, with here and l there a little current of water foot or two ! wide. This long belt of sand, extending | from the Divide to the Platte, is a very tame, innocent looking affair when seen destitute l of water, basking as it were under the bril- 1iancy of Colorado sun. Few people, even | those who have been residents of the city | for years, and have resided within rife shot l of its banks without seeing this cranky | stream on the rampage, are able to compre | bend the wildness and ferceness it assumes 1 giving scarcely moments notice of what il is about to do next.
 | As an illustration of the peculiar character of the creek let me relate an incident. A gentleman, then president of the Board o1
 Education, very kindly took me one day il
 his carriage to show the prominent objects O
 the city. Driving through Broadway W, came to the dry bed of Cherry creek, whicI we crossed over causeway or embanknen
 about four feet high and nearly a quarter O
 a mile in length. He said he had often heard that great floods come rushing down over thu l sandy bottom, sweeping before them every

About the only things in oul Cotton Dress Goods Stock not likely to sell were a lot of fine Scotch Ginghams at 4oc yard and some French Sateens at 35c. They were too fine quail ties and too high priced. They are just as fine now, but the price has been made I8c. They are bargain.
 We looked through the En- broidery Stock last week and found some short lengths some soiled pieces-some pieces which have been with. us too long. We laid out a table full of bargains. In the lot are some at SOC which were marked $1 and $I.25, some at 25c which were 75c, some not marked down as much, but all very cheap and positive bargains.
 Remember please that we have made reductions in the prices of all our Dress Goods, all our Black Goods, all our Silks and Velvets.

A NEW NAVAL DEFENSE.

A NEW NAVAL DEFENSE.
 For some time the inventors of devices for destroying war vessels have apparently been far ahead of the inventors of devices for their protection. Tremendous guns capable of perforating any armor which could be placed on vessel, and terrible torpedoes which would blow any vessel 'sky high" have been made, and their con- struction has deprived armored war ships of much of the reputation they used to en- joy.
 But Frenchman has appeared who be- lieves he has found something that will make ironclads more nearly match for the great guns, and will even be useful against the an initiating torpedo. The substance employed by him is a curious one, consisting of com position made from the fibre of the husk of the cocoanut. It was first used as shield for the masonry of quays, and it's action under those circumstances caused it to be ap- piled to the protection of vessels. In pull verized cocoanut tissue there lies great re- sistance to the damage caused by hostile shot entering at or below the water line. In sundry experiments at Toulon target was composed of felt-like mass of this cellulose, as it is called, fourteen parts being the ground husk and one part the fibre, which helps to hold the mass together like hair in mortar. The target, which was about two feet thick, as representing the lin ing that would be given to vessel, was per- forated at short range by a nine-inch gun. In each case no sooner had the shot passed through than the cellulose closed up so firm ly that strong man was unable to insert his arm into the hole. A tank of water was poured upon the place where the shot had entered, and only after several minutes 8 small amount of water began to trickle through; and soon the soaking of the cellu- lose, by augmenting it's volume and density, stopped the slight trickling altogether. The cellulose having thus been proved practically watertight, the experiment was concluded by showing it to be also oincombustible, burn ing charcoal placed in and around it being unable to set it on fire. A powerful torpedo was exploded against case of cellulose, and it did much less damage than it would have done to iron and wood -..-..f
 These experiments are instructive and sug- gestive. If any way to protect the costly ironclads which are in use nowadays can be found the nations will gladly welcome it. But it seems very doubtful that any ade- quate protection against torpedoes can be found
