WHERE LIES THE BLAME {?

Ihe opinion or n0n-prOfeSsional as to
the responsibility for the sinking of the
Victoria is not worth recording. Whether
the order OF Vice Admiral Tryon could
have been executed if Rear-Admiral Mark
ham had obeyed the first signal is matter
Of opinion. Vice-Admiral Tryon doubt
less believed that it could. Rear-Admiral
Markham was reasonably certain it could
not. The latter certainly would not have
disregarded second signal if he had not
been strong in the opinion that it was at
tended with a danger not perceptibe TO
the commander who gave it. A question
then arises if Rear-Admral Markham
should not have obeyed the first signal. or
have refused to obey the third. The
period OF time that must have elapsed be-
tween the first and third order may have
affected its: practicablity. OF course, if
Resr-Admiral Markham had persisted in
disregardiDg the orders of his superior he
would have been called to account Before
court composed Of naval experts be
would have had to show that the execution
of the order would have been attended
with actual danger to save his commission.
One OF the most famous military trials in

Fitz John Porter to obey an order TO ad-

substantially on the assumption that if the
commanding general who issued the order
could have known the conditions under
which it would have to be executed he
would not have issued it. In this case
Rear-Admiral Markham doubtless reas-
oned that if Vice-Admiral Tryon could
have known the conditions as they APP
peared to him the order would not have
been issued. The real question. perhaps
is. If military or naval subordinate has a

The solicitude which Andrew Carnegie
shows for the suffering British manufact-
urer and the haraSsed British workman is
remarkable. Having got rich himself in

their commercial supremacy is gone, and
1t can only be revived by a fede ara ton
which would open the American markets
to British products" Artificial stimulus
is not needed "if they could send goods
free OF duty to America, for with the

always compete along the cOastline with

thing else. He says: THE natural head

Whore Peppermint Oil Is Raised.

More than one-half of all the oil Of
peppermint, spearnint and tansy used
in the world is said to be produced and
distilled in Michigan. The center of the
industry is st. Joseph county. Pepper
mint plants weighing $4,000 tons when
dried are cultivated every year in the
state. From these the essential oils are
distilled. Early in spring the roots are
planted in burrows from two to three
feet apart. In day good workman
will plant an acre with them. A few
weeks later the rows meet and cover the
entire ground. In September the plants
mature They are then covered with
fragrant purple blossoms, and the time
has arrived for moving. After lying in
the sun to dry they are raked into heaps
and taken to the distilleries, of which
there are about $50 in the state.
1t is estimated that $50 pounds Of dried
peppermint plants produce one pound Of
oil. The yield per acre is is pounds Of
oil. Distilled peppermint h'iH~9 from

last twenty years to afford a good basis Oh
estimate as to the effectiveness of modern
ordnance, the very heavy guns a re losing
favor, both for armament OF ships ana
coast defense. The Victoria, which went
down off Tripoli few days ago, was fright
fully weighted with big guns.

King George-guns taken from Nelson's
flagship Victory-appears the first attempt
in rifled artillery The Whitworth breech-
loading rifle was q creation of the Crimean
war. 1t served its purpose for time, but
was finally succeeded by the Armstrong
steel high-power gun, which is Britain's
present favorite. The largest gun OF this
model on exhibit here weighs about 20
tons and is similar to the American S-inch
rifle.
One unique ana rather amusing specf'
men of the rapid fire gun is on exhibition
here. During the civil war, when all the
inventors were trying to turn out DEATH
dealing machinery, Colonel Colt, OF re-
volver fame, tried his hand. He built two
big guns on the model of his revolver. In
fact, it was regular Colt revolver on
2-ton scale. 1t held six shots and there
was machinery to turn the barrel around.
But Colonel Colt forgot one very import
ant feature of the art of gunnery. He
overlooked the fact that his cartridges
were discharged by the explosion of fulmi-
nate of mercury, which could not well
withstand the conclusion of another dis
charge near by. So when one of the guns
was tested the first barrel was fired all
right, but Immediately all the other cart
