The Naval Captain In Battle.

Writing of the perils of naval warfare,
Park Benjamin in The Independent says:
Nobody now believes that captain
who finds his vision through the Sits
of the coming tower cut off by smoke
will stay thus shut up. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it will be physically possible
for him to remain there after the shells
commence to hammer it's sides and burst
against it, and in any event the intense
anxiety to see and know clearly what
the enemy is doing will inevitably lead
him to take his chances in the open.
Coming tower or no coming tower, his
duty is to place himself at whatever
point he can manage his ships to the
best advantage, and this he will GER
tainly do. Lord Charles Beresford, with
grim humor, has suggested that the
captains safest place is not in but be-
hind his coming tower, because then
he has two thicknesses of steel between
himself and the enemy, don't you see?'
But while coming tower armor may re-
sist penetration it is by no means GER
tain that the whole structure will not
be swept away by the first heavy pro-
jectile which squarely hits it.

Electric Propulsion of Ships.

Up to the present electricity has
scarcely been thought suitable as the
principal motive or propelling power
for the larger type of vessels. This is
undoubtedly. owing to the fact that for
a gwen horsepower triple or quadruple
expansion steam engine would take up
less space and probably weigh less than
an electrical installation of equal power.
Storage batteries arc out of the question
for such uses, although persons not well
up in electrical subjects frequently won
der why our ocean greyhounds are not
propelled by some such method. It may
interest some Of our readers to know
that q vessel requiring an average of
5000 horsepower to propel it across
the Atlantic, and displacing 5000 tons,
would be obliged to carry, were storage
batteries alone made use of, 1874, 40,
900 pounds of such batteries, or, in
other words, the motive power alone
would weigh 1862, $40 tons, or 80 times
as much as the ship. Electricity.

His Story Too Local.

A teetotal lecturer at West Bromwich,
in order to illustrate the horrors Of
drinking, told his audience story Of a
wooden legged topper who was so drunk
one night that he took off his wooden
leg to wind the clock. The story was
told in all simplicity by the lecturer
as he had heard it in his childhood.
Strange to say, it applied exactly to the
husband of a lady who happened to be
one Of the audience. After the lecture
the lady waited on the lecturer behind
the hall.

hold my husband to public ridicule?"

MADRID, July 12.-Information re-
ceived from the most reliable sources is
to the effect that the darkest pessimism
pervades Madrid officialdom. The
hopelessness of the war is finally rec
ognized and the peace idea now seems
to predominant in the cabinet and
negotiations are considered urgent. It
is now recognized that Santiago de
Cuba is completely beleaguered and
cannot hold out owing to the lack of
provisions and munitions of war. 1t
is considered certain that the Amer
leans will blockade Cuban and Porto
Rican ports, cutting off their supplies,
while the authorities are convinced
that an American feet is coming to
the peninsula. There is no confidence
felt that the powers will interfere even
ii defenceless seaports are bombarded
and, therefore, what measures Of de-
Tense are possible are being adopted.
