Through Three Zones.

In the September St. Nicholas there
is an article on The Voyage of the
Oregon" written by Tudor jerks,
and illustrated by an artist with the
feet. Mr., jerks says:
Monday, May 9, she left Bahia, and
on the second night out she passed a
fleet of vessels which she believed
were the Spaniards. On May IA the
Spaniards were reported at Curacao,
so it is hardly credible that the Ore
gon could have been near the enemy
that night. With all lights out, how
ever, she passed these vessels in the
darkness, according to her orders,
which were to avoid all ships, ana
make for home
She put into Barbados, flying a yel-
low quarantine-f1ag to keep off inquis-
tive strangers, and within sixteen
hours was off again, at full speed, max
ing 420 miles in twenty-four hours.
Upon receiving dispatch announcing
her arrival at Barbados, the Secretary
Of the Navy had given out to the ma
tion that the great battle-ship was
safe.
Jupiter Lighthouse, on the south
eastern coast of Florida, was signaled
on Tuesday, the oath, and again re-
ported the Oregon to Washington.
Two days later she anchored at Sand
key, off Key West-safe at home, af-
ter the longest voyage ever made by a
battle-ship.
And what was her condition after
her wonderful journey? Her officers
reported: Cali in good health; every
thing shipshape; no accidents; not
even hot journal" After stay at
Key West long enough to fling the
coal into her bunkers, she Joined the
fleet. They were drawn up in a wide
semi-circle, and she came sweeping
into the midst of them at fifteen knots
an hour, like winner of yacht race,
cheered by all the Jack Tars!
AS the Chicago Times-Herald says,
her voyage is "a triumph for any ship,
and wonder for battle-ship" Over
$4,000 miles without a mishap, and
fifty-nine days at sea, through two
oceans and three zones" on the alert
for an enemy during more than half
the time-surely it is a marvellous rec
ord. and one not likely to be repeated
Do you know what it means? A bat
tle-ship has fully seventy machines on
board, run by 1877 steam-cylinders
She is an enormous fortress, crammed
with delicate and complicated ma
chinery. To build her, sail her, care
for her, and fight her requires brains,
skill, care, honesty, fortitude-in
short, all the Christian and a few
pagan virtues.

Dry Plate Photography.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an H.
lustrated article in September St.
Nicholas on Photography; Its Mar
vels." The author says:
The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Chinaman in obtaining
roast pig. The Chinaman burned his
house to roast his pig; the amateur
tore his camera to pieces to get his
picture. The first hand camera was a
paste board box containing one plate.
A pinhole served as lens, and after
the exposure of the plate the box was
taken to the dark room, cut open, and
the plate extracted. This was rather
expensive picture making, and it was
not long before a magazine camera
was invented; and suddenly all the
world began taking pictures.
The date Of the invention of the
dry-plate dates back scarcely eighteen
years, Dul III IudI suOll tluS luc
growth and application of photog-
raphy have been so remarkable that it
can be compared to nothing more apt
ly than to the amazing development Of
the the genie which the unlucky fish
erman released from the jar. In 1880
the outlay for Photographic material
was, in round numbers, $4,000. Ten
years later it amounted to $2,5OO,0OO.
During the first-named year perhaps
one hundred and fifty persons were
employed in its manufacture. Today
one single firm has fifteen hundred
This firm alone manu-
factures in week so much sensitive
film that, if made into one long strip
seven inches wide, it would measure
over one hundred miles in length.

rendered possible by a process known
as Judging The type lines set by the

firmly clamped in an ingenious little
supplemental machine consisting of a

when the paper comes rushing

That January and May marriage of
Gen. Cassius M. Clay has turned out
as badly as might have been expected.
Total incompatibility, and a general
cussedness on the part of others have
caused the old Generals childwife to
leave him.
The matter is pathetic viewed from
the old Generals standpoint, but he
should have known better than to try
to model that piece of clay which had
not in it originally the quality of a
development into beauty. The poor
old man now seeks bit of peace in a
divorce. May he get it, and may the
end Of his strong life be ore of COM

Virtues and Precepts"- Some Good
Rules for Living.
BY 3. FRANKLIN.

| BY b. FRANKLIN.
Whereas ideas of morals and ethics
of centuries that are gone may not
have been identical with those of to-
day, still the precepts laid down by
Franklin as rules for measuring his
own actions may be in good order
, now as when written by the philoso-
pher.
They run as follows:
l. Temperance.-Eat not to dull
ness; drink not to elevation.
2. Silence.-SpeaK not but what
may benefit others or yourself; avoid
trifing conversation.
3. Order.-Let all things have their
places; let each part of your business
have it's time.
4. Resolution.-Resolve to perform
what you ought; perform without fail
what you resolve.
5. Frugality.-Make no expense but
to do good to others or yourself; that
is, waste nothing.
6. Industry Lose no time; be al
ways employed in something useful;
cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity.-Use no hurtful de-
ceit; think innocently and justly; and,
If you speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice.-Wrong done by doing
injuries, or emitting the benefits that
are your duty
0. Moderation.-Avoid extremes;
forbear resenting injuries, so much as
you think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness.-Tolerate no un-
cleanliness in body, clothes, or habi-
tation.
IL. Tranquility.-Be not disturbed
at trifles, or at accidents common or
unavoidable.
12. Chastity.
1S. Humility.-Imitate Jesus and
Socrates.
