the report that the wrecked tug Triana has

destruction

sfloat to oppose them. We could get
many of this kind of craft, of course, but
they would be of no service as against
foreign naval power. The old monitors
which fought during the late war would
be OF little value against the powerful
battle ships of European navies. The guus
carried by these vessels could send pro-
iectile through one side and out of the
other side of any turret on the monitor
fleet. vi hich now lies below Richmond. on
the James River. We are building two
battle ships, but many months will be re-
quirei in which to complete them. and
many more to arm and plate them with
armor. The srmor has not yet been rolled. p"
1t is not improbable that in the first fes
months of the war that a strong naval
power might lay siege and exact heavy
tribute from our larger seaboard cities, but
highly improbable they should ever secure
permanent foothold in this country.

Drinking And Apopiexy.

The Irish World presents to its readers
the following wholesale lesson concerning
alcohol and apoplexy. 1T is tile essential
nature of all wines and spirits to send an
Increased amount of blood to the brain
The first effect of taking glass of wine or
stronger form of alcohol is to send the
blood there faster than common. Hence
the circulation that gives the red face. 1t
increases the activity of the brain and it
works faster. ard so does the tongue, but
as the blood goes faster than common to
the brain, it returns faster and no imme-
diate harm may result. But suppose a
man keeps on drinkipg; the blood is sent
to the brain SO fast in large quantities that
in order to make room for it the arteries
have to charge themselves. They increase
in size, and, in doing SO, they press against
the more yielding. faeejd veins which
carry the blood out of the brain, and
diminish the size of the pores-the result
being that the blood is not only carried to
the arteries OF the brain faster than is
natural or healthful, but is prevented from
leaving it as fast as usual. Hence double
set of causes of death are in operation.
Hence a man may drink enough brandy
