ABOUT RUINS AT SAN JUAN.
United states Fleet Wrought Havoc
to the FOrtificutions.

Key West, May lS.-lhe Associated
Press dispatch boat Dauntless arrived this
morning, bringing the first detailed ac-
count of the bombardment of San Juan
by Simpsons fleet May Il. The American
warships sustained only trivial injury and
lost but one man killed. After the en-
gagement the north end of MORO castle
was in ruins, the Cabras island fort 81
fenced and the San Carlos battery dam
aged. No shots were aimed at the city,
and it is not known whether any damage
was done there.
The plans of the Notifications furnished
the fleet were very misleading. 1T is
known that the Spanish forts had recent
ly been strengthened with new guns, but
other facts developed which showed mis-
calculations by those who drew the plans.
Refugees in st. Thomas told the CORE
spondents who touched there after the en-
gagements that the Spaniards thought
the forts at San Juan were stronger than
those of Havana.

WHY WE ARE RIGHT HANDED.
n Legacy that Has Descended to Us
from BelliCose Ancestry.


Primitive man, being by nature a
fighting animal. fought, for the most
part at first, with his canine teeth, his
nails and his fists, till in process of time
he added to those early and natural
weapons the further persuasions of a
club or shillalah.
He fought, as Darwin has conclusive
ly shown, mainly for the possession Of
ladies of his kind. against other mem
hers of his own sex and species. If you
fight you soon learn to protect the most
exposed and vulnerable portion Of your
body. Or II YOU don't, natural selec-
ton manages it for you. 10y killing you
off as an immediate consequences
TO the boxer, wrestler, or hand-to-
hand cOmbatant, the most Vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart. A
hard blow, well delivered, on the left
breast, will easily XIII.
Hence, from an early period men have
used the right hand TO fight with and
have employed the left arm chiefly to
cover the heart and to parry blow
aimed at that specially vulnerable re-
gon. And when weapons of otfense
and defense supersede mere fists and
teeth, 1t is the right hand that grasps
the spear or sword, While the left holds
over the heart, for defense, the SHE'D
or buckler.
From This simple origin. then, the
whole vast difference Of right and left

first the superiority Of the right hand
was only felt in the manner of fighting.
But that alone gave 1t n distinct pull,
and paved the way at last for the SUI
premacy elsewhere For when weap-
ons came into use, the habitual employ
ment of the right hand to grasp the
spear. sword or knife, made the nerves
or muscles of the right side far more
obedient TO the control Of the will than
those of the left.
The deXterity thus acquired by the
right-See how the word "deXterity"
implies this fact-made 1t more natural
for the early hunter and artificer to EN-
ploy the same hanu in the manufacture
