THE INvNClBLE ARMADA.
Some Historloal Points About 1paln's
Formidable But Storm-WFeekeA
Fleet.

A correspondent Of the New York
Press recalls the history of the "In-
vincible Armada" which sailed from
Lisbon, Spain. against England in 1888.
That feet was composed of 12o large
vessels, carrying 1925 soldiers, s,46o
sailors and about 1000 slaves as rowers.
It was a most formidable feet, one Of
the most formidable fleets of the time.
A storm in Spanish waters destroyed
several vessels of the "Invincibie Ar
mada" and the rest put into port for
repairs. When everything was in readi-
ness again the feet started and en-
tered the English channel, sailing along
in the form of a half moon, nearly
seven miles broad. They were met by
the English fleet, consisting of 30 ships,
which had been increased by the addi-
ton of merchantmen and privateers to
about $50 vessels, under Lord Howard,
OF Effingham, Drake and others.
They fought. And it soon appeared
that the great Armada was anything
but "invincible," for Drake sent eight
blazing fireships into the midst of the
Spanish fleet. In terrible CONSERVATION
the Spaniards tried to get out to sea,
and SO became dispersed. The English
pursued, a storm came on and drove the
Spanish vessels among the rocks and
xhoals. The "invinvible" fleet, with a
loss of 80 great ships and 10000 men,
defeated and disgraced, sailed home
again.

WISE PARROT.

Here are two occurrences far re-
moved from the ordinary. The truth IL
vouched for by local papers in the
neighborhood where they are said TO
have taken place:
In Ironton, O., Mr.. w. 81. Horton, .
well-known citizen, 10 the proud pos
SCISSOR of a parrot that lays eggs In cap
tivity. This of itself il said to be re-
markable, as these tropical beauties get
out Of the egg-laying habit when Gagged.
But this bird did more. A year ago she
laid an egg on Good Friday and another
on Easter Sunday. That was all. This
year, remembering the day and date,
she did the Same thing. just how she
kept track without an almanac IL the
wonder. She will be watched next year,
and il the same thing happens she will
be looked upon as marvel, indeed. =
Down near Evansville they had q
thunderstorm a week or two ago. A
lightning stroke shivered q tree near
the house of DR.. Henderson, who lives
near the village of St. Philip. 1t not
only shattered the tree, but 1t broke
every pane of glass in the house. Some
thing like 1875 new lights of glass will
be needed to make the house just a. It
was before the lightning played its
prank. So severe was the shock that

ROYAL HUNTSMEN.

ing Lords.

It is pleasing to learn that Queen Vic
toria disapproves of the 'hecatombs Of
game" that constitute feature at most
shooting parties nowadays in England.
That, at least, is one step in the direc-
ton Of mercy, but even the queen can
not prevent the English love of sport.
Perhaps it is better go, remarks the
Boston Herald. She would be very
unpopular sovereign if she did not al
low this concession of three hours
shooting in the royal preserves. But
this edict forbidding her son and heir
to kill more game than can be consumed
is royal slap at her German grand
son, and it is hoped it may have the
proper effect in Berlin court circles
when they go a-hunting. There is only
one other place in England beside Wind
sor where the rule of three hours
shooting prevails. The duke of West
minister limits his guests also and is
exceedingly particular about the num-
Der of guns as well as the skill of those
who use them. 1t is sorry moment for
that guest who does clumsy or un-
sportsmanlike thing to the dukes birds,
for be is always known, and, somehow
or other, gets reported at headquarters.

DANGEROUS SMELLS.
Scents That XIII More surely Than .
Gun Shot Through the
Heart.

Some smells are dangerous. A single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic
acid will kill a man as quickly Al shot
through the heart. The odor OF q bad
egg is due to the presence OF sui
phuretted hydrogen, and the objection
able perfumes of sewers and bone fac
tories are attributable chiefly to the
same gas. Chemical laboratories, says
the Boston Transcript, are famous for
bad smells. Berzelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium," once
tried the experiment of permitting a
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas
to enter his nostrl. For days after
wards he was not able to smell strong
ammonia, the olfactory nerves being
temporarily paralyzed. Selenium gas
has the odor OF putrid horseradish.
1ellurium is even worse. There is a
story of a physician whose patient, a
lady, refused to take an absolutely nee
essary rest because she was SO fond of
being always on the go in society. He
gave her pill containing a small guam
t;ty of tellurium, and her breath was
effected by it to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for
month. She never guessed what the
trouble was. The volatized essential
oil OF roses is supposed to cause rose
cold" This peculiar complaint is 80

SHIPPING FISH ALIVE.
A New and Simple Danish Method for
Delivering Finny Food
Far Inland.

A new method of transportation for
live fish from seaports into the interior
has just been patented by Danish fish
dealer of Copenhagen, and the system
is so simple and yet so perfect that one
wonders why it has never been thought
of before, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The inventor had a number Of
large bags made of waterproof mate
rial, strong oilcloth appearing to give
the best results. These bags, after be-
ing filed with water and the fish to be
sent inland, are laced at the top and
either suspended in the cars from hooks
in the roof of the car or from folding
frames taking almost no space and all
lowing the close hanging of these bags,
so that there is but little movement be-
tween the bags. They may also be set
upright alongside each other, but sus-
pension has been found to be prefer
able, particularly for long distances.
Several transports of fish made over
long distances have shown the splendid
features of the new system, for the fsh
arrived in excellent condition after
16-hour ride.

STORED-UP BREATH.
Among Land Animals the Java Bat II
One of the Most
Curious.

To a certain extent all animals that
live in the sea, such as whales, wal
ruses, seals, dolphins and porpoises,
have the power to store up air, as they
breathe only at intervals when they
come to the surface for that purpose,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. But of
land animals the most extraordinary
case is that of the bat (nycteris javani-
cus), which inhabits Java and parts of
Africa. This creatures skin is only
attached to its body in few places, SO
that beneath it there is vacant space
which is connected with two small aper-
lures at the bottom of its cheeks by
means of deep groove down the middle
of the forehead.
The nostrils are so formed that they
close when the animal is at rest and
open only at will, which would prevent
its breathing while asleep. But by re-
spring in peculiar ay,with its mouth
closed, the animal can initiate the store
house beneath the skin with spare air,
which it pumps along its frontal pas
sage, over its back, chest and abdomen,
until it is puffed out like balloon.

AN EXCLUSIVE COLONY.
Employees Of the Dig Powder Mills Of
the Du Points Have Even Their
Own GraveyaFd.

Those who work in the Du Pont pow
der mills on the Brandywine, in Del
aware, form a queer colony, says the
New York Press. They are all Irish
people whose ancestors came to this
country when the Du Points started in
business and went to work for them.
For generations the Du Points and these
people have passed their positions from
father to son. Like their employers,
they intermarry and are very exclusive.
They live on what are called Du Pont's
banks, which are about three miles
from Wilmington. The people OF Will
mington know hardly anything about
them, for they have few outside ac-
quaintances, and their visits are not fire.
quent The hills about the banks are
the highest in Delaware, and it is at the
base of them that these workers live.
The town is lighted at night by the
electric plant in the works. The people
hav their own places OF amusement, the
principal being the Brandywine club,
which has finer building than any club
in Wilmington. They also have dances
and theatricals frequently. Nearly
every one Of them has lost a relative by
an accident in the works. They have
their own graveyard, too.

ABOUT THE SMALL GUNS.
They Play n Most Important Part AA
Harbor Defense Where Great
Guns Would He Useless.

Much has been written of the big guns
that were to defend the harbors. In the
system of defenses the smaller guns
play most important part, both to sup
plement the work of the great rifles
and to be used against bodies of men
who otherwise might carry the works
by assault. For direct service against
attack by men the great guns are USE
less. Their value is altogether in the
power OF destruction possessed by them,
says the New York Press.
The smaller guns of the United States
artillery service are made in scores of
styles and are designed for all the diff
ferent kinds of service for which gun
can be needed.
Among the smaller arms which have
been adopted by the ordnance depart
ment of the United States army in the
lastyear are six-pounder rapid-tire guns
to be used either behind ramparts or in
the open against landing parties, three
inch, 16-pounder rapid-ire guns for
rampant or easements, five or six-inch
rapid-fire guns for use with moving
troops. Gatling, Maxim and briggs

A woMAN's pLUcKY WORK.
Helps to Build . Home With Her Own
Hands and saves . Sick Hus-
bands Life.

Five miles from Cucamonga, CAL.
lives woman who is carpenter and
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly Of st. Louis,
society belle and q Vassar grad
uate. Her husband held good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care Of a sick husband and make q
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted a tract OF government land,
five miles from Cucamonga, in San
Bernadino county. In few hours she
had made formal entry for quarter
section, and the next day the founda-
ton OF her new home was laid. Early
in the morning Mrs. Ewing and car
penter drove to her claim in lumber
wagon. BY eight o'clock she had
marked out the plan for two-story
frame structure. Then, while the car
penter started building, she carted the
lumber from Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant.
Mrs. Ewing also assisted in shingling
the roof, and when this was completed
she gave the roof two solid coats OF
paint. Then without assistance, Mrs.
Ewing constructed a chimney IA feet
high. and just three weeks and four
days after her arrival her house was
complete at a cost Of $400.
In the new home Mr.. Ewing's health
is fast improving, and he will soon be
able to take up farming.

straight down the column, shaking her

as she saw loaded notice in another

fellows, says the Washington Star.
She turned to it and read it eagerly.
Then she threw the paper from her.

with her.
"Read that" and she gathered up the
sheet and handed it over to the other
one, who read this notice:

Enxlish seamen I'm Our navy.

At the present juncture. says the
London Graphic, the want of trained
naval reserve and an adequate person
mel is causing the United States navy
department grave trouble. The men in
the United States navy, excluding the
fish commission and the coast survey,
are 1865 in number, and of these only
IS per cent. are American born. The
American citizens, however, number "A
per cent. English seamen who have
served their time in our navy are large
~ represented among the aliens or
naturalized Americans. ltwas so in the
war of 1912, when hundreds of British
tars were to be found in the American
frigates which beat US with such pain
full uniformity. The food is better
than in our navy, the pay higher, and
the discipline is not 30 strict. It is
pleasing to note the fact that the Amer
lean officers recognize the high value of
the British element. Now that the two
great branches Of our race are reunited
in sympathy we shall not grudge our
cousins the help OF British hands.
