With Admiral SIMPSONS Fleet, Old Ba-
hara CHANNEL, May 2s.-Dearly bought
coal freighted our little steamer down till
her rails were awash, and thus we started
from Key West upon cruise of unknown
duration. Outside lay the adIniral's flag
Dor. although all his principal cruisers
and battle ships had gone southward-by
Yucatan channel and toward Windward
Passage. it is believed, to catch the Span
ish fleet in the Caribbean. That afternoon
I mad talked to Admiral Sampson; but
who talks to him finds him a hattering
listener rather than satisfactory infor-
mant; and half the night We waited, a
line over the stern Of an anchored
schooner, and the flagship showing wake
fuIness by her thousand lights.
Two hours before daybreak smoke is
sued, nnged with fame. from her three
tunnels, and We followed direct to the
Havana blockade. whence. after saluta-
tons from Commodore Watson, the flag
ship steamed west Presently she stopped.
Was she going TO warn all unarmed yes
sels not to go further? A boat was lower
ed-no il was not on the errand We feared.
for there was the jaunty torpedo catcher
Wasp, which we had not seen, to which
the boat took message and IN a great
hurry the Wasp bore tt away in the di-
rection OF Yucatan. Then the flagship
circled about, wigwagged at the Indiana
and Helena, and moved quickly towards
Key West. Looking for somebody" we
concluded. and our boat stopped when she
stopped, and hove TO at last in the dock.
Soon a huge glaring eye was turned upon
US. On it came, never blinking. Onl
board the dispatch boat" shouted a voice
from behind the eye. "Our orders are to
fire a shotted gun across the bows Of every
vessel ventuning inside the blockade Keep
six miles out" it commanded. Almost |
ramming US in the stern, the Dolphin

The pioneers of Colonization.

The pioneers of colonization were
nirates and marauders, fishermen and
navigators, hunters and traders, ex-
plorers and discoverers, miss. 1arles,
runaways, adventurers and convlcts.
It is easier to rob others than to pro-
cure spoil or food where they found OF
reared it, and so privateers and ma
rauding adventurers may have pre-
ceded fishermen and hunters. The
earliest Greek and Roman colonies
seem to have been founded by just
such bands. The Spanish and Portu-
euese colonies of South America were
hardly more exalted in their origin.
The Dutch East Indies were colonized
by a band of landless resolutes from
the Texel-disorderly youths (says the
old chronicler), "whose absence was
more desired'' there ethan their pres
ence." The gentlemen adventures
who founded Acadia, like the two La
Tours, the renegade Frenchmen like
De Castin and his half-breed sony and
the forest rangers who "blazed the
track" in Canada for future settlers.
Kipling's gentlemen rovers" and
slost legion" Mr.. Cecil Rhodes him.

tvnes of this class. The Jameson
raid was only the last of the daring
burglaries by which ancient and
modern colonial empires have been
built UP. -Appletons' Popular Science

The seventeen-year race is indicated

ELECTRICAL Program Clocks,

The old way of calling school chill
dren in from recess was by ringing q
bell from the window. The new way
is by sounding gong fixed on the
outside of the building with weather
board over it for its protection, which
is connected by wire with a clock and
rung by electricity. Clocks are made
nowadays, called program clocks, to
ring any number of bells in so many
different rooms or places all at once,
OF separately, at any time.
The battery and the mechanical up
pliances required are contained in the
clock case. The electrical attachment
