REMINDER OF THE MAINE.
Lesson Of Captain Mc,iregor's Recent
Experiments Ia Exploding harbor
Mines.

Tre experiment of Captain Nc
Gregor in exploding in the presence
of an assembled body of spectators
one of the New York harbor mines,
that had been cut from its moorings
and beaten and battered out OF
shape without exploding was mag
nificent lesson.
1t showed conclusively that the
modern submarine mine is not con-
structed to be exploded by accident
al contact. Ii is far too costly and
and its mission is too important to
be exposed to the risk of mere acci'
dent. 1t is a complicated scientific
instrument which can only be ex-
ploded by an electrical current
discharged by an expert having
control Of the firing apparatus.
The McGregol experiment proves
conclusively that the explosion
which wrecked the magnificent
Maine and murdered 266 OF hel
brave sailors could have been moth
ing else but the result IF coward
Ily and treacherous plot, deliber
ately planned and carried gu. fol
the purpose of wrecking ruin anc
murder on an American ship, il
a Spanish harbor under Spanish
projection. The lesson of the Nc
Gregor experiment is, "Remembe

HER IDEA OF WAR.
Why BigIer Found il Hard to Discuss
the Situation with his Wife.

"John" said Mrs. Bigler, 81
can't see why we should allow any
foreign country to own any OF those
islands there on the map. Why,
Just look They're a good deal
nearer the United States than they
ere to Europe"
~ know" Mr.. Bigler answered,
according to the Cleveland Leader;
"but there are some difficulties in
the way of having things just as we
want them. We couldn't take
those islands without getting into
trouble with other countries besides
Spain"
"Do the people of those islands
want to belong to Europe?"
"Yes, most of them do"
"Why?"
'.Un, 1 dSn't know, unless it is
because they think belonging to
Europe is more profitable to them
than belonging to the United States
would be-"
(Which one of these places is
Dewey on now?"
"Dewey? Good gracious, these
are the West Indian and Windward
islands. Dewey's away on the 9TH
er side of the world"
"What's he doing over there?
Why isn't he here, helping to free
Cuba?"
"Heis over there fighting Spain"
Il never knew that Spain was
away around on the other side OF
the world. / thought it was China
that was over there"
"Spain isn't on the other side OF
the world. She has POSSESSIONS
over there--or did have"
"Well, then, why are her army
and boats over here? Why don't
they 90 over to fight Dewey"
"You must remember, my dear,
that they can't do little trick OF
that kind in few days. 1t would
take weeks and weeks for Spain to
send a fleet to the Philippines"
swell. why on earth do we want
the Philippines, anyway"
"One reason is that having pos
session of them will help us bring
about settlement with Spain"
"But if il takes so long to get
from there to Spain, why should
the Spaniards be afraid, even if we
did have them?"
"Oh, say, get geography ard
study little.
"John, | don't believe you know
half as much about this war as you
pretend"
: "You're right. After trying to
explain it to you, never know any
: thing about it,"
Mr.. Bigler was permitted to read,
undisturbed, for five minutes, dur
| ing which time his fair young wife
tied knots in her handkerchief and
j thought how changed he was. Pres
emily a new idea took possession OF
her, and and she asked:
"John, why don't our fleets
blockade Madrid the same az they
are blockading Havana? That
: would bring the Spaniards to terms
pretty quickly, wouldn't it?"
But John only answered "Uh.
huh" and went on reading about
