Rams In Naval Warfare.

Naval authorities assert that rams will
be the most effective weapons in the
naval conflicts of the future. In the
building of every battleship nowadays
much attention is given to making the
stem as powerful as possible, in order
that she may ram an adversary eff ctively.
Methods of conflict on the sea are re-
verting, curiously enough, to those prac-
ticed 1900 years ago, when Rome was
mistress of the waves. Then vessels of
war were propelled by two or three banks
of oars; now they are driven by two or
three screws.
Then, as now, the most deadly blow
was struck with the ram. Then, as now,
the commanding officer stood in ICON
ming tower" directing the movements of
the ship, issuing orders for the launch
ing of missiles against the enemy, and
at the critical momelt "giving the STEM
to an opposing craft. In order to con-
ceive the power of the modern ram,
imagine ship weighing 5000 tons
driven at speed of fifteen miles an
hour against floating antagonist.

Malay Running "Amok."

It is a religious fanaticism, q madness,
under which man makes up his mind
to kill any one he can until he himself is
killed. Brought on by drink or religion
or from whatever cause, the process is the
same. The mailman seizes mis- kriss and
rushes headlong down the street, cutting
at every one he meets To any one who
has seen kriss or parang further detail
is unnecessary.
A man running amok is as dog with
hydrophobia, but the panic caused
by the former is by far the
worse. Like the mad dog, the mad man
is followed by noisy rabble, who, sooner
or later, run into their man and exter-
inmate him. When this vengeful rabble
made up of bloodthirsty Malays and
Cinnamon, its wild rage and fury is
beyond control, beyond description.
The clamor and blood-curdling yells of
the pursuing crowd, and the ever-near-
ing shout of " oran amok, oran amok, y
is an incident which can never be for
gotten by any one who has seen or heard
Il. The bravest quails when suddenly
turning the corner of street his ears are
greeted with the cry of "oran amok,
and few yards off he sees NJ lay run
ming straight at him, brandishing in his
hand the bloody kriss with which he has
already slaughtered all in his way. His
hair flowing behind him, his sarong
thrown away or torn off in struggle, his
naked chest reeking with blood, his eyes
protruding from his head and twice their
natural size, coming toward you with the
ramdity of deer, every muscle in bis

CROP REPORTS.
Present Condition of Corn, Spring Wheat
and Oats.

Present Condition of Corn, Spring Wheat
and Oats.
The Farmers Review of this week
contains the following
Reports from alternate counties In
twelve States have been received on the
condition of corn, wheat and oats. The
reports from the corresponding counties
were published last week.
Corn.
In Illinois corn is reported full aver.
age or above by about one-fourth OF the
correspondents; one-half report fair,
and only one In four report the outlook
as poor. In Indiana 50 per cent. report
the condition as fair to good, and In
Ohio so per cent. give fair to good. In
Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri. Kansas,
Nebraska and. the Dakotas the condition
is fair to good quite generally, though
few counties in each of these States
give a report of poor. In Iowa not more
than one-fourth OF the counties will
have full crop, but large number say
that the crop will be an average. In
Wisconsin the outlook Is, however, bad;
more than half of all the correspondents
declaring that the crop will be poor,
and in some cases not more than half o
| crop. In Minnesota the report is quite
! generally fair.
Spring Wheat.
Spring wheat is good, with few excep-
tions, in all the States reporting. except
Nebraska. There few counties report
| the condition POOR on account OF the
long dry spell that has prevailed in some
| sections.
Oats.
The oat crop is generally good in In
diana, Ohio, Michigan, kentucky, Wis
consin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas.
| In Illinois one-third OF the counties re-
port only fair, and half report good.
The condition in Missouri is identical
with Illinois. In Kansas all report fair
to good except 90 per cent In Nebraska
one-half report the outlook as very bad,
and most OF the others report that the
crop will be below an average. In Iowa
one-third report average or above; 40
per cent. report below average, and the
| rest report poor.

Two shapes we're walking ON the strand
One starlight night in no mans land
Two shapes that during mortal life
Gave hate for hate, In deadly strife.
They met. swim forth their falehions few;
Each pinned the other through and through
But neither fell. Again they strove
For mastery. and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright,
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night
Through corselet. casque, and visor, too,
AS through the air their swift blades flew;
Until, amazed, they stood aghast
And on the sands their weapons cast
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
-he passing dream of earthly life.
Aud clapsing each the others hand,
They walk the shades Of no mans land.
