BUSINESS is THE JFORD,

When the civil war got under way
1T was found that there were not places
enough for men of influence who want
ed to be officers without being qualified
to be officers. But too many places
were found or made for such men and
the result was what might have been
foreseen and avoided. The incompe-
tents made great deal of trouble and
caused much loss. Now some man of
influence are clamoring for places in
the service which they have not earned
and are not qualified to fill 1t is to be
hoped that the authorities will sit
right down on such aspirants. Favor
itism and politics should have no place
in the selection Of those who are to
train and lead our soldiers. They
should be chosen solely for their knowl-
edge of and experience in military af-
fairs and the capacity they have shown
to conduct them. There are enough
experienced and capable men to choose
from. The people want to see this war
made as business-like as possible. They
do not want to see it made parade
ground for playsoldiers or stepping
stone for ambitious politicians.

possibility.
Some years ago 1 had CONVERSE
ton with an army officer who was for
merly stationed at Fort Hamilton, on
the New York harbor, in regard to the
adaptation of the telautograph as a
position finder to locate the exact
position of a vessel at any moment as
it sailed through a harbor or along a
coast. At that time the only arrange
ment in use required mathematical
calculation before the exact location
could be determined. The plan then
suggested by the writer contemplated
an apparatus that would trace a line
on a map of the harbor, or section of
the coast that had been carefully sur
veyed and laid out into squares of
convenient size. If such an apparatus
has been perfected and put into use
since that time the writer does not
know of it, and if it has not this arti-
Gle may help some one who is familiar
with the details and requirements of
harbor defenses to adapt such an ap-
paratus to practical work. The value
of such system consists in being able
at a glance to determine the exact po-
sition of a vessel at any moment
without calculation-by direct read
ing.
Each gun commanding a harbor
should have its own outfit, consisting,
first, of a map of the harbor, or that
section of it that is covered by that
particular gun. This map should be
an exact fac-simile Of the harbor, both
as to shape and the points of the COM
pass, and reduced to the most conven-
lent size. The harbor should be ac-
curately surveyed and laid out into
convenient squares, and in each
square may be marked the distance it
is from the gun, as we'll as the direc-
ton and angle of depression. The To-
cation of the gun may also be given
on the may. The may should be
placed in a permanent position and

can never be anything but good taste.
Dress stockings are simply dreams of
dainty elegance, and it is admitted that
they must be sent to the cleansers and
not put in the wash. Indeed, some all
inlet with silk are sold with the advice
to wear them over another pair, which
are pink or delicate salmon, and so fine
that the flesh shows through Thus
protected from contact with the skin,
it is claimed a stocking worn only two
or three hours for dress occasion need
not be cleansed often, but that isn't a
pleasant recommendation"
The bright squares that are stylish at
our ankles are large ones, while those
that are in the greatest favor for dress
silks are small. True, few fancy bod
ices are made of silk plaids with
squares so big that one Of them set in
the middle of a woman's back acts as
the key from which all matching must
be done, but checked silks are prefera-
BILE to these. A dress made of one of
these silks, showing small pale green
and white squares, is shown here. Its
bodice was laid in wide boxpleat at
either side of the vest which was white
satin covered with white chiffon, finish
ed with collar to match. Next to the
pleats and lying on the vest was a fold
of black satin, covered with lace, and
the epaulettes showed the same mate
rails edged with narrow chiffon ruch-
ing. The belt was black satin with a

IN EXPERT'S IDEA or THE WAR;
This is a queer war so far. While
we are waiting for something to hap
pen it may not be uninteresting to no
tice what a foreign expert thinks will
happen. In a recent issue Of the Lon
on Times an article of some length de-
scribes the conditions under which the
Spanish American war Is to be fought
and the problems it involves. "The
war" says the Times, must, in the
nature of things, be primarily, If not
mainly, conducted by sea Before
either power can make use of it's land
forces it must have asserted and made
good it's claim to superiority afioat
within the sphere of it's operations, and
this can be done only by meeting and
defeating the enemy's naval forces at
sea or by combining them to port"
| Spain has Cuba and Porto Rico to pro-
tect-islands nearer to the United
States than to Spain. But Spain can
do nothing for her dependencies, and
| the United States cannot safely invade
| them until it is determined who is to
control the seas about Cuba "If,
says the Times, instead of doing this
an attempt were made, for example,
by the United States to invade Span
ish territory. or by the Spaniards to
send achievements to Cuba, it might,
and probably would, lead to disaster"
That a decisive naval engagement
must precede the use Of the army is
shown, the Times thinks, by the de-
feat of the Chinese at Yalu. In each
of these cases the power that suffered
defeat was trying to conduct operations
by land without having previously
cleared the adjacent waters of hostile
cording to the naval strategist who
writes for the Times, for our fleet to
find the Spanish fleet and destroy it,
or render it impotent, before undertake
ing any other important operation.
raids upon territory" he says, "the
bombardment of naval bases and the
destruction Of commerce are all secon-
Diary objects which, history tells us,
can have little or no effect on the issue
of the struggle until the primary pur-
pose of the sea-going fleet has been
achieved" If our fleet beats the Span
ish fleet we shall have cut the commu-
nications of the Spanish colonies with
the mother country and can then deal
with them at our leisure. If, on the
other hand, Spain should be victorious
at sea, she would be able, with Havana
as base, to operate against the sea-
board of the United States. Spain
may, of course, decide not to send her
fleet across the Atlantic to engage
ours, in which case she virtually relin-
quishes everything. Possibly her chief

In this case, Cuba and Porto Rico be-

merce and exposed coast cities.

The air pressure against which an
express train must make Roadway is
known to be very great, but only re-
Gently has an attempt been made to
measure it. This was done by mech
anic of a western road. He stretched a.
sheet Of paper over small hoop, plac-
ed this hoop over the mouth of a pipe
connected with an air-compressing en-
CINE, adjusted a gauge to show the
pressure, and registered the pressure
when the paper burst. He next took
this hoop with the same kind of paper
and fastened it in front of one of the
locomotives used in hauling the fast
trains. At a speed of fifty-eight miles
an hour the air pressure burst the pa
per. The pressure from the engine in
the first test made in the shops showed
that the paper which was eleven inch
es in diameter, had stood a strain of
twenty eight pounds. This experiment
gave a basis for calculating the pres
sure against the sixty eight-inch diam
eter of the boiler front, against the
sides of the cab, the front of the stack,
dome, headlight and other exposed
parts. and it proved that even on an
engine alone the air resistance is con-
siderable, and is increased in ratio
corresponding with the increase of
speed.
