the bay, when nad Dccn maOC when the
motor sent it's shock along the great rock
beds. Down upon, and into, this roar
ing, boiling tumult fell the tremendous
cataract from above, and the harbor be-
came one wild expanse of leaping, mad
dened waves, kissing their whirling
spray high into the air.
During these few terrific moments
other things happened which passed un-
noticed in the general CONSERVATION.
All along the shores of the bay and in
front of the city the waters seemed to
be sucked away, slowly returning as the
sea forced them to their level, and at
many points up and down the harbor
there were submarine detonations and
upheavals of the water.
These were caused by the explosion, by
conclusion of every torpedo and subma-
rine battery in the harbor; and it was
with this object in view that the instan-
taneous motor bomb had been shot into
the mouth Of the bay.
s. The effects of the discharge Of the mo-
tor bomb astonished and even startled
those on board the repellers and the
the crabs. At the instant of touching
the button hydraulic shock was felt on
Repeller No. /. This was supposed to be
occasioned by the discharge of the mo-
tor, but it was also felt on the other YES
sells. 1t was the same shock that had
been felt on shore, but less in degree.
A few moments after there was a great
heaving swell of the sea, which tossed
and rolled the four vessels and lifted
the steel protecting net SO high that for
an instant parts of it showed themselves
above the surface like glistening sea
ghosts.
Experiments with motor bombs had
been made in unsettled mountainous dis
tricts, but this was the first one which
had ever exerted it's power under water.
On shore, in the forts, and in the city,
no one for an instant supposed that the
terrific phenomenon which had just oc-
CURED was in any way due to the YES
sells of the syndicate. The repellers
were in plain view, and it was evident
that neither of them had fired a gun.
Besides, the firing of cannon did not pro-
duce such effects. 1t was the general
opinion that there had been an earth
quake shock accompanied by cloud
burst, and extraordinary convulsions of
the sea. Such a combination Of elemen-
tary disturbances had never been known
in these parts, and great many persons
were much more frightened than if they
had understood what had really hap
pened.
In about half an hour after the dis
charge of the motor bomb, when the sea
had resumed it's usual quiet, boat car
rying white flag left Repeller No. /,
rowed directly over the submerged net
and made for the harbor When the ap-
proach of this flag of truce was perceived
from the fort nearest the mouth of the
harbor, it occasioned much surmise.
Had the earthquake brought these syn
dicate knavcs to their senses? Or were
they about to make further absurd and
outrageous demands? Some irate officers
were of the opinion that enemies like
these should be considered no better than
pirates, and that their flag of truce
should be fired upon. But the COM
nlandant of the fort paid no attention to
such counsels, and sent detachment
with white flag down to the beach to
meet the approaching boat and learn its
errand
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-04-03
SECTION III.

This net, which was intended to pro-
tect the repelle1 against the approach of
submarine torpedoes which might be
directed from the shore, was anchored
at each end, two very small buoys indi-
eating it's position. The crabs then fall
ing astern, Repeller No. 1 lay to, with
the sunken net between her and tho
shore, and prepared to project the first
instantaneous motor bomb ever used in
warfare.
The great gun in the bow of the vessel
was loaded with one of the largest and
most powerful motor bombs; and the
spot to be aimed at was selected. This
was q point in the water just inside Of
the mouth of the harbor, and nearly
mile from the land on either side The
distance of this point from the vessel be-
ing calculated, the cannon was adjusted
at the angle called for by the scale of
distances and levels, and the instrument
indicating rise, fall and direction was
3hen put in connection with it.
Now the director-in-chief stepped for
ward to the button, by pressing which
the power of the motor was developed.
The chief of the scientific corps then
showed him the exact point upon the
scale, which would be indicated when
the gun was in its proper position, and
the piece was then moved upon its bear
Ings SO as to approximate as nearly as
possible this direction.
The bow of the vessel now rose upon
the swell of the sea. and the instant that
the index upon the scale reached the de-
sired point, the director-in-chief touched
the button.
There was no report, no smoke, no
visible sign that the motor had left
the cannon but at that instant
there appeared. to those who were
on the lookout, from fort about
mile away, a vast aperture in
the waters of the bay, which was
variously described as from 100 yards to
500 yards in diameter. At that same in
slant, in the neighboring headlands and
islands far up the shores of the bay, and
in every street and building of the city,
there was felt a sharp shock as if the
underlying rocks had been struck by
gigantic trip hammer.
At the same instant the sky above the
spot where the motor had descended was
darkencd by wide spreading cloud.
This was formed of that portion of the
water of the bay which had been in
Simultaneous raised to the height of about
a thousand feet. The sudden appear
ance of this cloud was even more terri
BILE than the yawning chasm in the
waters of the bay, or the startling shock,
but it did not remain long in view. 1t
had no sooner reached it's highest eleva-
ton than it began to descend. There
was q strong sea breeze blowing, and in
its descent this vast mass of water was
impelled toward the land.
1t came down, not as rain, but as the
waters of vast cataract, as though Il
mountain lake, by an earthquake shock,
had been precipitated in a body upon Il
valley Only one edge of it reached the
land, and here the seething flood tore
away earth, trees and rocks, leaving be-
hind it great chasms and gullies as it
Sescended to the sea.
The bay itself. into which this vast
body of the water fell, became scene
of surging madness. The towering walls
of water which had stood up all around
tho suddenly created aperture hurled
themselves back into the abyss, and down

State Fair.

Only few days remain before the
opening of the state fair in Milwaukee
it commencing Monday, Sept. 10th,
closing the afternoon of the Goth. The
railroads charge only one fare for the
round trip. The state exhibits, except
race horses, returned free. All should
take an interest in the state as well as
their county fair. Fairs are specially de-
voted to making competitive tests of
the production of the farm, household
and the work shop. They who bring
the best thought and skill to bear upon
their labors reap the highest reward
The outlook for the state fair was never
better. The unexcelled grain crop
throughout the state, with the abund-
ant promise of fruit, will make an ex-
hibit in itself gratifying to the pride of
every Wisconsin heart.

'BrIlliant Victory.
The Breeders Gazette of June 26th,
1889, says:
The remarkable success of the Bril-
liant family of Percheron horses at the
great annual show recently held at La
Ferte Bernard, France, may be Justly
characterized as triumph rarely, Il
ever, equaled in the annals of national
showlngs of Europe or America. A rec
ord of % awards out of total of forty
eight IN the stallion rings, and 24awards
OF AZ III the class of mares and fillies
gained by direct descendants of the
grand old horse is something which
affords an unerring indication of the
now famous blood; and demonstrates
indeed the soundness of the Judgment
which induced his owner to give it SO
prominent a place in his World-re-
nowned Oaklawn stud. The news OF
this astonishing victory from beyond
the sea will add value to every horse
in America carrying his blood. The
scientific breeding of PercherOns has
made rapid strides since the establish
ment of the stud book of France. and
now that the records, blood lines, prize
winnings, ETC., of the breed are accessi-
BILE to all the production of fine horses
is being brought to a point where it is
attended with little uncertainty, if the
signs of the times be but half observed.
Three stations of the valuable breed
mentioned above are owned by A. H.
Hartwig, of this city. One of them,
Breviaire, 1925, has no superior, and
but few are his equal of this blood, re-
ceiving it through sire and dam. Mr..
Hartwig is deserving of much credit
for what he has done in the direction
of improving the breed of horses in this
section, through the service of his fine
blooded stock.
