Is nothing too common TO attract atten-

quick sales and very short options on
lots when given. Western factors show
plainly who they are buying for, and
round lots Of good old filters are moving

are getting light, and no recent sales can
be replaced except at heavy advance.
There is no excitement, but a good deal
of earnestness in buying, and We await

mark that the market is getting just ia

The sham battle anoat and ashore, while
undoubtedly of great value in schooling Off
GERS and men in alertneSs and precision, can
scarcely be made sufficiently realistic To even
approach the real thing. Those who know
what the torpedo and torpedo boat have done
in war must often have been surprised 10
learn how small part they are made to take
in the sham battle, and will find it hard TO
understand why, in all the sham engage
ments OF recent years, the torpedo attack has
been gravely set down as beaten off In the
sham battle it seems only TO be necessary to
pick up torpedo boat out of the darkness at
long range with IAN electric light 10 have it
counted out of the fight; but it is certain
that i'll war you can't destroy "A torpedo boat
with a flash from a vOltaic arc light 1t
would keep right on il its course for the
ship, and if several were advancing from
different directions there would be far more
call for gunners than light tenders. Indeed
if only one got close aboard and discharged
its projectile, life preservers would, like
enough, be in greater demand even than gun
ners.
Our French contemporary, Revue de Cav
alerie, cites one instance of the fatal effect
sham battle exercise has upon cavalry. At
the battle of Worth (Franco-PrISSian cam
paign), n small body of the Eighth Cuiras-
siers and Sixth LancerS while in retreat
from Morsbroun, came suddenly upon the
Thirteenth Uhlans (Prussian), supported at
IL short distance by more cavalry. y cap
tain of the Eighth promptly formed upon his
men, the charge sounded and the French
men dashed forward. But the Prussian cav
airy did net move, rs if determined 10 re-
ceve the shock at a standstill This was so
unexpected that the French horse, as il re-
membering the order of sham fight, drew up
their horses at pistol shot range. Neither
side did anything. Had a single man rushed
forward with the standard at this point it
were certain "a melee would have followed.
As it was, both sides emptied revolvers and
carbines, and the Frenchmen, discovering
they were vastly outnumbered, and that

4 Curious Passover Custom.

was in use as charm by the PhPnicians,
