which consists OF an iron case contain
ing the explosive charge. If a ship hits
one of the several projecting firing pins,
percussion cap is exploded, which ex.

Stationary torpedoes or buoyant
mines are anchored near the bottom in
deep water by device which allows
them to be electrically released at the
proper time to rise to the surface be-
meath the hostile ship.
In the observation mine two wires

LOCALIZED WARFARE.

| Agreements by Which Civilized Nation,
Diminish Wars Horrors.
What is called international law in
respect OF warfare is compact among
nations as to certain rules aud forbear.
ances that shall be observed in conduct
ing hostilities should war arise between
any OF the parties to the agreement.
1t Is agreed among the great nations
OF Europe that in the event of war arts.
ing, arraying any one of these pow-
ers against another, there shall be M
privateering on either side. This limits
the capturing or destruction of tho enc.
my commerce to the operations of req
ularly commissioned warships.
AT the beginning of the present war
with Spain President Mckinley p-o.
Claimed that the neutral flag covers enc
my's goods with the exception of con.
traband OF war and that neutral goods
not contraband Of war are not liable tn
confscation under the enemy's flag.
There are differences of opinion as IN
whether certain articles are contraband
OF war-that is, whether they can be
useful to the enemy. Thus, while sui.
phur, from which powder might be
made, is contraband, it is still an unde.
cided question whether the same rule
applies to coal that might be used in
steaming by the enemy's warships.
In all modern wars, even when suc,,
savage forces as Spain and Turkey are
engaged, the Red Cross flag has been ~.
speotod by combatants on both sides.
NO pillaging is now allowed in war.
put an army may take whatever it needs
for It's use in passing through q country
food for men and horses, wagons and
animals for transportation, arms, num-
lions and supplies of all kinds.
In the present war Spain claims a
iieht to grant letters Of marque to priys-
teers, but has intimated that she will
simply place under naval control thu
merchant ships that are to serve as auy-
iliaries in this conflict.

Not one man in hundred wears a

Some are tipped up in front and some

and rich nation ever before sent to war
an army of soldiers in such unpictur-

almost fancies that the dull uniform

that a thin blue line does not look as
thin as the Thin red line. -
Solid fellows, too, the men are, for
that matter. Their physical appearance

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
How Mr.. Letter Has Helped His Country
In Its Present War.

III war.
Mr.. Letters transactions in wheat
were purely speculative. And yet in SO
far as Mr.. Letters gambling transac-
lions served to put up the price of wheat
or rather TO establish more promptly its
real value, Mr.. Letter has proved of
great assistance TO his country in it's
war with Spain. He has done more
damage to the enemy than could have
been inflicted by battleship or an ar
my brigade.
While the high price of wheat ex-
poses the consumer in the United States
to a certain inconvenience our country
gets the benefits of the high prices paid
not only by our citizens, but by all 9TH
er countries as we'll Moreover we are
fairly well able to stand it, We have
plenty Of corn and other staple articles
of food at low prices
But the damage done to Spain by
wheat at 81. 90 is beyond calculation. 1t
Is reflected i'm the bread riots in the
socialistic agitation. in the increased
difficulty Of providing the war credits
and III the Generalization of the govern
ment 1t is even possible that the loaf
OF bread may be the last difficulty to
break down an already enfeebled dynas-
ty. If the price Of wheat causes us any
uneasiness, 1t is not without compen-
sations. Kew York World

MINES AND ToRPEDoEs.
Submarine Agents For Attack at Sea and
Defense In Harbors.

Torpedo warfare began during the
American civil war. The early torpe-
does were crude affairs and were used
A., in comparatively few places, SO that not
many opportunities were afforded to test
the possibilities of the new destructive
| agent in naval and harbor warfare.
Thirty seven torpedo attacks have
| been made thus far in modern naval
warfare Their total results were it
ships sunk and one ship damaged. six
usslilant boats were lost.
The Whitehead torpedo is tho only
! automobile torpedo which has ever been
used in war and is practically the only
torpedo In use today. The United States
was the last leading nation TO adopt the
Whitehead. the navy department. delay
ing action with the hope that an Amer
lean tsginoer wculd produce the White
head IS equal,
That the torpedo stands today as tho
most wonderful and terrible of modern
engines of war is not to be doubted, but
ii has had no real test of its power. Ma
val officers all over Europe have looked
forward eagerly to a war between the
United States and Spain as an object
lesson in torpedo warfare.
The three cylinders that compose the
propelling engine within Whitehead
torpedo could be carried in ones over
coat pocket, but they have combined
force of 30 horsepower.
South American wars since 1877 and
the recent war between China and Ja-
pan have shown what could be done with
torpedoes Russia also successfully EN-.
ployed torpedoes in her war with Tur.
key in 1877.
a check to the torpedo boat is the tor.
pedo boat destroyer. OF these vessels
Spain has is, England has more than
100, while all the other first class Eu-
ropean powers have from 10 to 20 de.
stroyers each. These craft are armed
with rapid fire and machine guns, and
also are equipped to send torpedoes
against an enemy's ship.
