Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told of the speed with which camcls
can travel in the desert, and of their
wonderful endurance of fatigue. But
according to recent. statements there
has been much exaggeration on this
subject. One writer asserts that the
speed of a camel does not exceed about
seven, miles and a half per hour, and
that even that speed is not ordinarily
maintained longer than two hours at a

Glacial erosion is one of the most i'm
portant methods of lake formation, and
glacial deposition makes lakes on n
smaller scale. A valley, having moraine
material deposited Mt it's lower end,
will, when the ice sheet has disap-
peared, become the site of lake if n
stream flows there. With glacier
flowing past the end of valley, the
lateral moraines piled up will likewise
form dams and thus lakes.

Mahon has traced a remarkable trench
for 100 miles in n north-northeast and

SILVER AND WHEAT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, edited by
Johc R. Mclean. sums up the situa-
ton In regard to silver and wheat in
the following five propositions:
II. 1t'nobody buys silver. and no
government coins it. it will not be
worth anything at all.
q. If silver should be restored to
it's full former rights at the mint, 1t
wouli again be worth it's weight in
coin at the rate Of MlA grains Of
pure silver to the dollar 1.-THE remain
ing AN grains being alloy, and that
would be 81 % an ounce.
8. If gold we're totally demope-
tized, the four Thousand millions Of
gold coin now in existence would
make such glut in the bullion mar
ket that gold would not. sell for as
much Us dollar d pound.
1. IF there should be failure next
year Of the wheat crop in all cOun-
tries. including, our ownI wheat
might go DIS high as five dollars a
bulhel-or even tent only enough
could lie raised to feed the Sound
money" men Of wealth and the ir
wives and children.
S. If there should be an unusually
large crop OF wheat'ln all the wheat
countries next Year, it would be

twenty-five cents u bushel. And then

New York, Nov. 12.-1fre annual ban ouet of the Socisty of Naval and Me- ohanical Engineers was held tonight at Delmonicos About one hundred mem bers and guests were present. Col. E. A Stevens was the toastmaster. and the guests were: Assistant Secretary of Navy Theodore Roosevelt, A. l.. Canrow, the English torpedo builder; Capt. J. W. Miller, na- wal reserves; V. w. Haywood Prof. w. F. Durrant, R. E. Webb. Capt Merr- tage, Russian naval autache; Congress- man Belford, w. Harrington Peckham and E. P Stratton.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt made the principal spe eh. In part he said:

Torpedo-bo2t estroyers-toTpedo boats of large size and superior speed-form valuable ad- juncts to a fleet of war ships, cruising as scouts and vldettes. and guarding by their vigilance the lines of approach to tfle main body of the squadron. In the absence of such craft, as in the ab- sence of cavalry with an army, the fleet is seriously handicapped, and the chances of loss of some of it's number through the enemy's torpedoes are much gerater, in spite of searchlights and rapid-fire ordnance.
 At present our entire force of torpedo craft consists of four boats in service and one torpedo-boat destroyer, and fourteen torpedo boats in the hands Of the builders.

 Two of the robbers were disguised as women and when the engineer saw them swinging the lanterns across the tracks, an apparent signal of danger, he dhd not hestitate to stop. The engine crew were immediately covered with re- volvers. Conductor.

CLEARED FOR ACTION.
A Modern Battle Ship Presents an Unusual
 Spectacle.

R. F. Zogbaum in Harper's Weekly.
 A battle ship cleared for action pre- sents an appearance differing greatly from that shown while lying peacefully at anchor in port. Stanohions, davits, everything movable not specially de- signed for fighting purposes, disappear from the decks and sides; barre d skylights to lower decks and cabins, rails and supports about the openings leading below, give way to steel battle matches; hose is coupled to the fire pumps and laid along the deck; circular openings to the ammunition passages yawn, traps to the feet of the unwary
 and everything that might interfere with the sweep of the guns or the freedom of movement of the crew vanishas from sight as completely as if it never had existed. The stenciied word 'overboard'' on chests on the deck-chests contain ing anything infammable. as paint, al- cohol or oil-indicateS that in the pres- ence of the enemy they would disap- pear over the side of the ship into the sea, while the boats are hoisted from their rests on the superstructurea and
 lowered to be lowed astern-perhaps even to be cast adrift-to avoid injury to life and limb from flying splinters under the enemy's fire. The shock and noise of action, as the ship comes on the firing line, is something beyond de- scription. Take ships like Iowa and Indiana, for instance, where single dis charge from bow to quarter of the prin- cipal batteries give a weight of fire of 4.499 and 5,600 pounds. respectively, and the tremendous shock of the explosion may be dimly imagined by one who has not experienced it. Still more trying to the nervous senses are the sharp thud- ding reports of the rapid-fire guns, vom- fting forth their deadly missiles at the rate of four or five shots every minute. Night practice with the auxiliary bat teries gives am exhibition of the mur- derous work these guns are capable of, and the drifting targets-mere hand lQerchiefs in appearance as compared with attacking torpedo boats-are greet ed with such 8 storm of projectiles that nothing coming under the rays Of the search light could live for a moment. Only by the simultaneous rush of a num- bsr of those small but terrible, engines of marine warfare, torpedo boats, could there be much chance of inflicting i'm jury to the larger ships. By luck or through superior skill one might "get fn'' and successfully explode it's torpedo against the eide of it's huge enemy. but the attack would be much of the nature of the charge of a "forlorn hope" of bygone times into @ breach in the wall
