THE BRITISH CAPTAIN DESTROYING HIS
OWN SHIP.
When the calculations had been made
and the indicator set, the captain was
shown the button be must press, and
stood waiting for the signal. He looked
over the sea at the Craglevin, which had
settled q little at the stern, and was roll
ing heavily, but she was still q magnifi-
cent battle ship, with the red cross Of
England floating over her. He could
not help the thought that Il this motor
mystery should amount to nothing, there
was no reason why the Craglevin should
not be towed into port, and be made
again the grand war ship that she had
been.

pellers Of naval vessels against the att
tacks Of submerged craft. The work OF
constructing the new appliances had been
pushed forward as fast as possible, but
90 FAR only one of these had been finished
and attached to man-of-war.
The Llangaron was recently built
ironclad Of the same size and class as
the Adamant; and to her had been at
tached the new stern defense. This was
an immense steel cylinder, entirely
closed, and rounded at the ends.' 1t was
about ten feet in diameter, and strongly
bfaced inside. Il was suspended by
chains from two davits which projected
over the stern Of the vessel. When sail
ing this cylinder was hoisted up to the
davits, but when the ship was prepared
for action it was lowered until it lay,
nearly submerged, abaft of the rudder.
In this position its ends projected about
fifteen feet on either side of the propeller
blades.
It was believed that this cylinder would
efectually prevent crab from getting
near enough to the propeller or the rud-
der to do any damage. It could not be
torn away as the stern jacket had been,
for the rounded and smooth sides and
ends Of the massive cylinder would offer
no hold to the forceps of the crabs; and,
approaching from any quarter, it would
be impossible for these forceps to reach
rudder or screw.
The syndicate's little feet arrived in
British waters late in the day; and early
the next morning it appeared about
twenty miles to the south of the Isle OF
Wight, and headed to the northeast as IT
it were making for Portsmouth. The
course Of these vessels greatly surprised
the English government and naval au-
thorities. It was expected that an at
tack would probably be made upon some
comparatively unprotected spot on the
British seaboard, and therefore on the
J west coast of Ireland and in st. Georges
channel preparations of the most for
midable character had been made to de-
fend British ports against Repeller No.
II and her attendant crabs. Particularly
was this the case In Bristol channel
where a large number of ironclads were
stationed, and which was to have been
the QeSEIQGJlOu Oh Ill0 AIldugdIOu IL tA0
syndicate's vessels had delayed their
coming long enough to allow her to get
around there. That this little feet should
have sailed straight for England's great
naval stronghold was something that the
British admiralty could not understand.
The fact was not appreciated that it was
the object Of the syndicate to measure
It's strength with the greatest strength
of the enemy. Anything less than this
would not avail its purpose.
Notwithstanding that so many vessels
had been sent to different parts of the
coast, there was still in Portsmouth har-
Dor large number of war vessels of va
rious classes, all in commission and
ready for action. The greater part of
these had received orders to cruise that
day in the channel. Consequently it
was still early in the morning when
around the eastern end of the Isle of
Wight there appeared British feet COM
posed Of fifteen of the finest ironclads,
with several gunboats and cruisers, and
number of torpedo boats.

CORN AT PARIS.
1t Is a Cheap Bread Constituent
and Should Be More Generally

1t Is a Cheap Bread ConstitueLt
and Should Be More Generally
Made Use Of
The agricultural writer of the DeS
Moines Register says the corn interests
of the country are to be presented at
the Paris exposition by a New York
man who is coming to Iowa to learn
something about corn. That's sensible.
1t might have been in order to take some
body who knows something of the uses
of corn in the regions where it is used
for food, but if not then it is best that
our representative should learn about
his business, and we should do all we
can to instruct him. Our corn crop is
much sed as food in Europe. 1t is
cheaper and better than the poor grain
foods of Europe. 1t is nearly as cheap as
the vegetable foods of the poor Of Europe.
Corn is used as food more extensively
in the Southern states than any other;
few OF our Intelligent Southerners would
know all about it. Roller process -four
is all the rage in Iowa. Corn bread is
regarded asp lebeian by the .high-fed
IoWan. 1t is mistake. The poor
family that comes here from abroad
and will conquer an independence,
will take kindly to corn bread and mush
and milk, because they are cheap, and
these foods will grow up healthy chill
dren and be economical while the home
is being earned-while silver dollars go
into the stocking with which they will
buy out the farm some day soon, of the
family to the manor born, that wants to
move to town, or go to doomed para
disc somewhere. Yes, corn is a great
factor for poor people, and if the Eu-
ropeans knew about it, it would be sent
for in greater quantities and at better
prices. 1t is worth noting here that
those who would rise in means
and intelligence always find aux
iliaries to help them do it.
Corn is mama to poor people. No
doubt many of them think they suffer
because they must eat it. The race
would run out, and become nerveless if
some were not compelled to eat healthy
food. We have known many poor fam
lilies that got their start while eating
corn bread, pitch it aside with their old
clothes and old cabin when economy
had made them well off. Well? They
went at higher living-attacking their
nerves successfully, but others took up
the cheap, healthy diet to run the same
course. We do find through inquiry.
however that many well-to-do people
are calling halt in rlotous, intemper-
ate French eating and getting back the
old plain dishes again.

Manageable young women are in
great demand at northampton, Queens
land, Australia. The males in this col
ony are in the proportion of 125 males
to SO females. The towns, however, re-
tain more than their share of the fair
sex, and in the sugar planting districts
there is deplOrabe dearth of women.
Nearly all the land owners and large
planters are married. but most of the
whites in their employ are bachelors,
and, what is worse. many of the poor
fellows haven't chance to change
their condition if they wish to. The re-
suit is that whenever nice white girl
goes into the interior Oh the plantations
she has to get married in self protec-
ton, or else she is so pestered with at
tentions as almost TO drive her out of
the country.

Rockhampton, and had here engaged

days she took her Washtub out of doors
one morning to do the family washing.
While hard at work, with soapsuds up
to her elbows, along came SQuatter

neighbOrhood. He didn't intend to lose
this chance to make the acquaintance of
a woman. So he sided up to the wash
tub and began to talk, and it wasn't
long before she was giving him more
than half of her attention.

a magistrate, where the knot was legally
tied in short order. The bride finished
her washing in tie afternoon, and that
evening she transferred herself to the
home of the squatter, which she now
adorns, apparently as happy woman
as there is in Queensland.
A great many people do not like this

ATRUTH TELLER FROM TEXAS

A party of men were talking in the
Palace hotel court recently about the
liars they had known. Mr.. More, of
Pasadena, said he knew the most pic
tureSQue preYarIcator on the Pacific
slope. "His name is Martin, Wobbly
Jaw Martini" said Mr.. More, land he
works on my ranch. He'd lie about the
size of so cents, and there never were
any black crows where he came FROM"
where's that?" asked Senator Fair,
who has reputation of his own to SuS-
tain.
Texas. and that's where Martin had
most of his astounding adventures. He
has told one story of seance with a
Texan steer until | think he has forgot
ten that it is a lie. He says he was
working in pa ;king house at Bryan,
and had charge Of the cattle that came
to the killing house. One day, accord
ing to this weird romancer, steer fell
down about hundred yards from the
house, and seemed to be too badly in
jured to move another step. Martin
grabbed an AK and went out to kill the
animal. When he was ten feet from the
steer, it jumped up. made rush for the
boss liar of the boundless West, and
hooked him. One long horn went clear
through his clothing, graZed his back
and passed out under his collar at the
back of his neck. Martin says he had
on new suit of oilskins. and that he
was carried 800 yards on the steers
head, shouting for the people to get out
of his way, and brandishing the ak.
The crazy steer bolted in among the
other cattle, stampeded the herd, and
beloved in way that nobody but this
dandy liar ever heard before. Suddenly
the oilskins gave way, and Martin the
monumental came to the ground, but
he swung his ak as he fell and killed the
steer with one blow. He wasn't hurt
bit, and when the boys ran up to him he
calmly said: You bet L amt no slouch.'
