HOMEsICKNEss.
What II Really Is and "A Possible
Remedy for 1t.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion
There are few of use who have never
known the pangs OF Inconsistencies, and
those few are rather to be pitied than en-
vied. Homesickness in mild form is a
sign of gentle mind, and indicates the
possession of a love Of home and country
which Is the characteristic of civilization
and normal man.
This mind form fortunately, is the only
kind which most OF use have experienced,
for when the severe form takes possession
of a person It is a terrible disease, causing
untold misery and even death. This severe
form, usually called nostalgia, has grown
less common in these days of quick COM
munication or rapid transportation of
news and of widespread knowledge OF
geography.
The element of ignorance of ones sur
roundings and consequent sense Of help
lessness and despair Of ever seeing home
again, which in times gone by so oppress-
ed the sufferer from nostalgia, is now re-
moved, except in the case Of the very
Young or the densely ignorant.
The greatest sufferers are Hlghlanders,
Germans and Swiss mountaineers, or the
overcome than women. y
The victim of this extreme form of home
sickness is almost always a resourceless
person, one whose life is a routine of
trivaHties, whose ideas are few and limit
ed and such as they are based upon ia
miliar objects and well known associates.
When such a person is placed In new sur
roundlngs no new ideas are created, but
there is a gnawing longing for the past,
which Is the more intense as return
seems impossible
The patient, for such he really Is, broods
over what he has lost, rejects what Is Of
fered in place OF it, and becomes apathetbc
and taciturn. Sleep becomes itful and is
disturbed by vivid dreams of home. The
appetite fails, digestion grows poor, and
the sufferer becomes thin and haggard.
! There is headache, with dizziness of intel
lect and finally perhaps, a condition OF
complete Indifference to everybody and
everything, which may end in death from
a failure of the vital organs TO perform
| their functions.
There Is little to do for cases of this sort
where there is no possibility of a return
home. though sometimes a study of the
map and of the routes by which return
can be made and the birth of hope that
conditions may change and the separation
! from the beloved spot not be fnal may
bring about a restoration to mental health.
| especially If the hope Is based upon the
L sufferers own effort 10 that end, --------.

MODERN ARMOR PLATE.
II Is Gaining IA victory over the Gun
in Many Ways.
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
Inclined or defective armor Is used in
combination with vertical armor for por-
tons of the water line defense of armored
ships. The plates are set inclined so that
the projecte will glance off, All Of these
armor plates are boted to the huh by
heavy steel bolts, sometimes over three
inches In diameter and the weight of the
side armor Is supported by what is called
the armor shelf on the hull, upon which it
rests.
The modern armor plate IS a solid maSs
of steel containing about s per cent. of
nickel. this alloy having great ductility and
toughness As has already been stated,
however It is not enough that plate
should resist penetration, but 1t must be
capable Of withstandlng the tremendous
blows of the high power projectile up to
certain limits without cracking, because a
cracked plate would speedy be displaced
piecemeal. This quality Is impaired by the
nickel. and when the fact was recognized,
in 1890, IL was hailed as a great advance
in armor efficiency, and nickel steel plates
DISPLACED all others But still another adj
vance has been made, resulting in the
nickel steel plate not only stopping the
proiectile while retaining its own integrity,
but also smashing the projecdle, 50 that
the huge bolt on striking IL does not merely
glance off, but is shattered into fragments.
This Is accompanied by the so-called Har-
vev face-hardening process, which, also,
according to Admiral Sampson, has in
creased the resistance of armor fully 80
per cent and perhaps 80 per cent, &c
cordlne to the thickness OF the plate.'
The plate is made Of low steel contain
ing from 90 TO OBS per cent. of carbon and
f. embedded in dry clay In heated fur
mace. Granular carbonaceous material Is
then packed upon its upper surface and
covered with sand and fire brick The fur
mace is raised to an intense heat eaus-
ing the metal TO absorb the carbon above
il to such an extent as will produce the
face hardening to the desired degree and
TO some predetermined extent and depth.
Thus the carbon, so to speak, sinks into
the steel, entering I'm gradually varying
amounts from the surface downward. In q
plate OF 1912 inches in thickness the depth
of supercarbonization may be about three
inches. SO that the already toughened body
OF the plate is provided with a supercar-
BOMBED and hardened outer stratum which
Is integral with 1t and which. therefore
will not crack off. A l00-pound hardened
steel pro1ecue STRIKING such plate as
this at a velocity of 200 feet per second
Is shattered into fragments, and It's con-
zeal point Is sometimes found welded to
the surface through the enormous heat
generated by the sudden stoppage. Before
the advent of this face-hardening plating
the long battle between gun and armor was
tending In favor Of the gun; since then
once more to quote Admiral Sampson
"hard-faced armSr, assisted by the inev-
liable conditions Of battle, il again in the
ascendant"

When the queen came to the throne,
omnibuses were new but already pop
ular institution. They were longer, mar
rover and lower than the present ones
and had no seats on the roof. The pas
sengers were carefully shut in by a
door at the end, as if to make quite sure
of them, once they were captured, till
they had paid their fares. On a little
round perch behind stood the conductor
or "cad," hanging on by a leather loop
passed over his arm. Sixpence was the
usual bus fare 80 years ago, whether
you went from beginning to end of the
journey or only a few hundred yards
AS there was very little regulation of
the street traffic of London in those
days, if the bus was filed up at start
ing it went like fire engine in order
to get in an extra journey, but other
wise 1t crawled and pottered about till
the requisite number was obtained.
Each omnibus was licensed only for
a particular route. II paid the stage
coach duty OF e5 when first started and
shilling year for keeping the license
in force, besides mileage duty, varying
with the number of passengers ii would
hold but coming to about threepence
per mile on the average.

Looking Forward.

A Cleveland clergyman who is not
given to putting on long face either
in his pulpit or out of it says that be-
fore he came here from the south he
was one day asked by young man to
unite him with the woman of his choice
in the holy bonds of wedlock upon the
evening of certain day.
II am very sorry" said the reverend
gentleman, "but shall be out of town
upon that day"
The young man was crestfallen, said
that he had set his heart upon having
that particular minister perform the
ceremony and asked if there was no
possible way in which it could be ar
ranged.
81 thought the matter over, !" said
the clergyman i'll recounting the expert
ence. land finally agreed to return for
the express purpose of complying with
his wishes He was greatly pleased, as
sured me that it was very kind OF me
and hinted that | would be well repaid
for my trouble and consideration.
$50 upon the day set for the ceremony
l travelled nearly 200 miles, paid out
So. so for my railroad ticket and other
accommodations and gave the happy
couple one OF the best marriage services
in my repertory.
after the ceremony the groom came
to me, blushing furiously, slipped 80
bill into my hand and in all serious
ness said:
This is all have to give you now,
but hope to be able to do better next
time.
II was $3.50 out of pocket on the
transaction, and l guess I'll let him
hunt up somebody else next time. -

Fire was discovered in Brown block,
Fairfield, Wednesday soon after 10
O'Clock. The fire caught In vacant
hall in the third story. The first init
nation the occupants bad was the
cracking of the fire and the smell OF
smoke. Two streams of water were
quickly brought to bear on the building,
but it was only after stubborn fight of
over an hour that the flames were con-
quered. The block was occupied on the
ground floor by Neil Gregory, grocery
man, and sam Lung, Chinese laundry
man. Mr.. Gregory's loss cannot as yet
be definitely ascertained, but his stock
of groceries suffered much from water,
smoke and rough handling. The laun-
dry loss was quite small. The second
floor was occupied by Misses Blackney
and Crosby, dressmakers, and by Mrs.
Gray. Their loss was small. The dam
age to the building is estimated at $500,
it's value being placed at $1,000. There
was no insurance. Several firemen had
narrow escape from injury from the
falling roof. Fortunately no one was
injured.
