men-of-war, then threw themselves
upon the mercy of their captors, who
not only extended to them the gracious
hand of American chivalry, but sent
them a guard to protect them from

to rush down and attack the unarmed
and defeated but valorous foe.
One after another of the Spanish
ships became the victims of the awful
rain Of shells which the American bat

upon them, and two hours after the
first Of the fleet had started out of
Santiago harbor, three cruisers and
two torpedo boats were lying on the

CerVera escaped to the shore in a.

DANGER IN A HAND CLASP.
Learned Disquisition ON Possibilities of

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Is it possible for one man TO eommun-

If this question be true should the
custom be abandoned or should II be
modified under medical Instructions so
as to minimize the danger?

FRESH WATER FOUND IN ROCKS
Fluid Fit TO Drink Found at n Depth OF
100 Feet.

From the Electrical Review.
In the November number of the Geo
graphical Journal we find a communl-
cation from Sir Clements Markham
who describes how Baron Nordenskiold
reasoned out the possibility OF nndinS
fresh water by boring strong crystal
line rock Baron Nordenskiold's idea
was that by boring through the gran
ite rocks he would strike water-bear-
ing assures. He therefore selected the
rocky isets on the Swedish coasts
which serve as pilot and light stations,
and completing borings found sweeter
water lying in the assures. In the
deDth of 100 feet, the texture or the
surface rock preventing the salt water
from percolating through and com
mingling with the sweeter water lying
in the assures. In the same number
of the Geographical Journal there is an
article by NJ e. A. Martel on british
Caves and Speleology." Mr.. Martei
describes n descent into caves near
Enniskillen, as well as other descents
in Ireland, and also describes what he
saw of underground rivers and lakes
in Derbyshre and in Yorkshire. In the
case of the Irish caves he says their
