A MODERN NAVAL BATTLE.



The Spectacle n a Grand One and the ZEE.
perience Thrilling.
A layman has no conception Of the
awful nature Of battle in modern naval
vessels. Even the cruisers have steel
sides, and the air of the inclosed spaces
is very confined. The din made by the
impact of heavy projectile against
these metal sides is awful beyond do
scription l wore cotton in my ears. but
in spite of that, am still deaf from that
cause. The engineers in the Chen Yuen
stuck to their work even when the tenn
perature of the engine room was above
200 degrees r. The skin Of their hands
and arms was actually roasted off, and
every man was blinded for life, the sight
being actually scared out.
Late in the action, after my hair had
been burned off and my eyes so impaired
by injected blood that could only see
out of one Of them, and then only by
lifting the lid with my fingers, I was
DESTROYS of seeing how the enemy was
delivering his fire. AS CROPPED my way
around the protected deck a hundred
pound shell pierced the armor about IS
inches in front of my hand. In second
my hand touching the steel was so
burned that part of the skin was left
upon the armor. That shows how in
tense is the heat engendered by the i'm
pact of a shot and how rapidly the steel
conducts that heat.
One shell struck an open gun shield
of the Chen-Yuen early in the action,
and glancing thence passed through the
open port. Seven gunners were killed
and 10 wounded by that shot. Early in
the fight the maxim gun in our foretop
was silenced. The holes pierced by a
she'll could be seen from the deck. Aft
er the fight we found the officer and men
OH duty there all dead and frightfully
mangled That one she'll had wrought
the havoc.
The detonations Of the heavy cannon
and the impact Of hostile projectiles
produce conclusions that actually rend
the clothing off. The Chinese soldiers
deserve all credit for their courage and
obedience in that action. No duty was
too difficult or dangerous. When the
Chen Yuen's forecastle was ablaze from
Jap shells, ordered several officers tc
cross the she'll swept place to fight the
fire. They shirked that duty, but wher
l called upon the men to volunteer II
follow me they did it promptly, and thu
ship was saved 1t was while ON thi
duty that shell passing between m.
legs threw me aloft and let me dow
upon the deck with such violence that
became unconscious and was out Of tn
fight. All OF the officers, however, wer
not towards. On my ship were severa
who had been educated in this country
and they were as brave and devoted "a

FOR RACING ON WHEELS.
SAN MATEo no HAVE TBE BEsr ~
cyCLE TRACK ~ All.
A Cement surfsee-wIiI Have Hotel and
Training rsciiities-sheitered
By Trees

California is to have the tastes
bicycle track in the world.
A prominent wheelman who Il
one Of the originators of the enter
prise has given the following
particulars of the proposed track
and hotel.
I'VE intend to make San Mateo
to the cycling world what Spring
field was ten years ago. 1t is pro-
posed to build a one-third of mile
track. II will be modelled after the
track at Salt Lake City, which is
generally accounted one Of the best
in the country, except that the sur
face will be made of cement, which
makes the fastest track for bicycle
racing. The hotel will be built fol
the especial benefit Of the hundreds
Of wheelmen who will naturally
make San Mateo their head
quarters.
I'm addition tol the hotel, ten or
fifteen cottages will be erected on
the ground for bicyclists who de-
sire to train OH the track. A swim.
ming tank and all other convenien
ces for training will be crested.
The promoters expect that many OF
the fastest racing men in the coun-
try will spend the winter at San
Mateo."
1t should be stated that S35, 600
will be expended on the track and
buildings, exclusive of the cost Of
the land. Several men stand ready
to take all the stock, but in order to
make the enterprise popular with
the mass of riders the leading clubs
in the city will be invited to take a
little stock.
Another great advantage that
the new track will have over many
of the other tracks is that it is
sheltered by trees on all sides.
Otto Zeigler, the California
wheelman, who has been riding in
the East has suffered from the frac-
ture of an arm and will retire for
the season.
Nine. Casimir- Perier has follow
ed the example OF her husband, the
President of France, and learned
to ride OH the bicycle. She prac-
tees daily with Nine. de Bour-
quency, wife of the former Intro

NIAGARA's GREAT WHEELS.

They We're Made In Switzerland and
Have Enormous Horse Power.
The three wheels now set COM
pleted for the Niagara Falls Power
Company were designed by firm
of Geneva, Switzerland. They
consist of two Fourneyron turbines,
one being set inverted and verti-
cally over the other, so as to neu-
tralize weight on the step or bear
ing. Each of these twin tubes is,
moreover, made three stories high
or deep, and the speed gate consists
of a cyclindrical rim, moving up
and down on the outside of each
wheel.
To further neutralize weight on
the upper bearing of the shaft, the
water from the supply tube is al
lowed to pass through the disk Of
the upper guide wheels, and to &C,
vertically upward upon the disk OF
the upper turbine wheel.
The disk of the lower guide
wheel is, on the other hand, solid
and the weight of water upon it Is
supported by three inclined rods
passing through it and the wheel
casing. These wheels will dis
charge AGO cubic feet per second,
and, acting under 1856 feet of fall
from the surface of the upper
water to the center between the
upper and lower wheels, will make
$50 revolutions per minute; at u
per cent efficiency they will give
1000 horse power.

Section 4. Every owner and
keeper and every other person hav-
ing the care or management Of
