Independence Day was celebrated very
quietly in Freeland, even the amount of
average. The absence of any public
demonstration or parade caused many of
our townsfolk to seek pleasure elsewhere
and deferred several people of the sur
rounding villages from coming to town.
The news of the great naval victory
near Santiago produced cheerful effect
and made every American proud of his
country and it's fighters.

Beware of ointmeuts for Catarrh

that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system

do is ten-fold to the good you can possi-

reports that from information he has
received from General Shafter he be-

fully 10000 men, killed and wounded
In addition there are 1000 prisoners In
the hands of the Americans. The Am
erican loss will not exceed $50 killed
and 800 wounded. The most of these
are only slightly injured.
The above figures only include the
Spanish land forces. The 1,700 sailors
captured. including Admiral Cervera
will be transferred to General Shafter
custody at once.

Before Santiago, July with the
destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet
the work of taking Santiago becomes
much less difficult. AS long as Gen
eral Shafter had no siege guns and
could not be assisted by a friendly fleet
In the harbor, the capture of the city
promised to be a hard task, and it
would be practically impossible to hold
the city if captured.
1t is now estimated that between L.
200 and 500 Americans are dead, woun-
1ed or missing after the two days
fighting about Santiago. 1t is stated
by one of the surgeons who assisted in
the hospital work that probably $50 to
300 Americans were killed.
No official list or Official estimate of
the dead and wounded can be obtained
yet. Unofficial estimates place our los
ses as high as 1000, and to date $50 men
suffering from wounds that are not
serious have been brought to the hos
pital. Our surgeons have not enough
supplies, bandages or nurses. The
medical staff is too small.

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Sensitive Plate Reveals More
Than the Eye Can See.

| Almost the first use in science to
which the new discovery was put was
| the photographing of the moon, the
| first recorded picture being made by
| Professor Draper, and presented to the
| New York Lyceum of Natural History.
| His son, Henry, grew so fond of astro-
nomical photography that on leaving
college he went to Ireland to see the
great rejecting telescope OF Lord
Rosse After seeing 1t he determined TO
make one like it. The reputation OF the
Yankee boy-that he can make not only
the thing he undertakes, but also the
machine that makes twas proved to
be deserved by Henry Draper. for he
made and mounted the first American
rejecting telescope. With it he took
more than fifteen hundred photographs
of the heavens. and the instrument is
still in use in Harvard observatory.
The telescope not only reveals more
than can be seen by the eye alone, but
the sensitive film surpasses the power
of the eye when aided by the telescope.
for the camera records on the film OBJ
jects that the eye cannot see through
the greatest magnifying lenses. No
matter how far away or how dimly it
shines, the light OF the faintest star i'm
time impresseS the him. and thus that
which Is invisible TO the eye becomes
vicible on the plate.
In celestial photography the camera
is kept moving during the taking Of
picture. The exposure sometimes lasts
several hours: and " the camera were
stationary the motion Of the earth
would soon carry the subject out Of
line with the telescope. The camera.
therefore. Is attached To the tube of the
telescope. and the object To be photo
graphed Is brought into the lens at the
intersection OF two cross-wires. Then
by n system of clockwork. the telescope
moves SO that the subject occupies the
same position on the plate during the
exposure. In the picture OF the Swift
comet may be seen small white lines.
These are the marks or trails OF the
stars. The telescope was adjusted 10
the speed Of the comet. and as ~ trav-
cled much faster than the stars. the
photographs OF the stars appear az
streaks instead OF as points OF light

kRUPP'S ARnOR PLATE.
A Comparison rlade With the Har-
veyised Specimen.

According to present indications. the
Krupp process ofhardening armor plate
for warships seems 20 be giving results
superior TO the older and better known
Harvey process, Some trials recently
made in the United States, at Washing
ton, ID. c., showed that projectiles with
striking velocity OF 1000 feet per Sec
ond passed clean through a Harveyised
nickel-steel plate. while the striking
velocity of a projectile of the same cali
Der had 10 be raised TO 1850 feet per
second before il passed through a
krupp nickei-steel plate OF the same
thickness. The rule i'm such cases is
that projectile will pass through as
many inches of wrought iron for each
thousand feet per second of striking
velocity as ii is inches i'm caliber. Thus
six-inch projectile with 1000 feet
per sect of striking velocity will just
perforate six inches Of wrought iron;
while with a striking velocity of 1000
feet per second IL viii just perforate
twelve inches of wrought iron. AS the
resistance of Harveyised nickel-steel
Is exactly double that of wrought iron,
we must use twice the striking to per-
forate plate Of this material. It is
evident that a projectile of the caliber
used in the Washington trials would
have gone through a wrought iron
plate of the same thickness as the two
on trial with striking velocity of 1000
feet per second. The relative resistance
of Harveyised and Krupp armor plates
is, therefore. taking wrought iron as /,
as is to 235. This gives the plate
made by the krupp process at the Car
negie steel works, at Pittsburg. a
slight, though positive, superiority over
British armor plate made last year by
the same process, the ration being 2.35
to 2.33. OF course, ii is understood that
when the test is one of armor plate
only the question OF the relative pen
etrative power OF projectiles plays no
part in il SO long as these are able to
perforate the armor without breaking
up.
The comparative figures, giving the
resistance Of different kinds of armor
plate, which were arrived at after ex-
haustive tests by British experts in the
latter part of the year 1897, are inter-
estng The experts agreed that
wrought iron Ii inches thick: steel
faced armor. IL inches thick: Harvey |
ised nickel-steel armor, Z inches thick. |
and Krupp nickel-steel armor 6 inches |
thick were equal in resisting power. |
The saving in weight thus effected by |
the substitution of Harveyised or |
Krupp armor for wrought iron is enor- |
