It is quite impossible to assign credit
for the first idea of supplementing
with iron the strength of wooden
ship in battle. We know the buc-
bucklers along the vessels sides, and
the Normaps, as far back as the
twelf b century. ran belt or armature
of iron around their ships. Similar ex-
pedients were used in the crusades,
aud vessel plated with lead figured
in the expedition against Tunis in
1885,
When it comes to a question of pri-
GRITTY we can go back of Hampton roads
and Kin burn for the two great prin-
ciptes which have revOlutiOnized naval
warfare-namely, the iron-plated
floating battery and the revolving iron
turret-are American origin.
The earliest recorded floating bat
terry with iron plates was designed by
Robert Fulton in 1914, and Intended to
break the English blockade of the Hud-
son and Chesapeake. Congress ordered
it built, but the war YVES over and the
articles of peace were signed before
Fulton finished his ponderOus Dem
short by the explosion of her maya
zines in 1929, the great discovery had
no chance to set new styles in naval
strife. No less it was Fulton's iron
battery germ which the French devel-
oped in the war of the Crimea, and
which Stevens. of Hoboken, about the
| same time 1854 applied to his famous
but illstarred marine battery of 81
inch plates, which New Jersey fell
heir to and sold at auction, still uncom-
pleted, in 1874.
And the heavily-plated revolving
turret-that wicked and deadly feature
of the Monitors armament which
made the Old World sea dogs tremble
in their wooden shoes many peo-
pie in this country can now remem Der
that this patent stands on the books at
Washington, under date of 1916, to the
credit of Theodore Timby, of Duchess
county, N. Y? How many, in the
sweeping tributes to Ericsson for the
Monitors achievements, will recall
tina. Mr.. Timby was handsomely COM

Notice to Shippers.
Office of Commercial Agent,

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
It has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohi biting the handling of freight Or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
rltOrles, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
Fl. 81 T. @. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
& T H. & T. G. and Southern Pacific:
Pacific: or Burlington. M. K. & T., H.
u 7. G. and SOuther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from sesboard via Nor
gan L ne steamers and Sunset route,
IS same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all ID ail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.
