Old Men Fought Battles of War.

From time immemorial the idea
has been cultivated that old men
for counsel and young men for war
is the proper arrangement for hum
an activity. Whatever may have
been past experiences, the recent
war with Spain leaves the venerable
maxim in a topsy turvy condition.
Men on the far side Of the prime OF
life have directed the battles as well
as formed the plans, and with re-
markable success.
Most Of the leaders are nearing
the age of retirement. Dewey is 81
and entered the naval academy
forty-four years ago. General JOS
eph Wheeler on September 10, will

Shafter also was indisposed, but

Miles, commanding the army, is

On the Spanish side Admiral
Cervera, a gray haired veteran, Is
decidedly the hero. He showed
heroic stuff by his manly treatment
of Hobson. But Hobson is young

and as gallant a one as ever lived.
But the noble self sacrifice of his
deed is what entities it to universal

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Col. Holloway Tells Of the Utilization Of
COrnstalks.

Col. w. X. Holloway, our consul
general at st. Petersburg, writes of
IN interesting experiment made in
he utilization of Indian cornstalks
IN Russia, as follows:
On July 10 a most interesting ex-
pertinent was made by the Russian
at the naval proving
grounds at Polligon, near st. Pet
ersburg.
A Golfer dam six feet long, six
feet deep and three feet broad was
packed with blocks of cellulose made
froat the pith OF Indian corn stalks.
The material was supplied by the
Marsden company, OF Philadelphia,
and the dam was packed under the
Of the experts OF that
company. The cellulose within
the dam was compressed until 1t
weighed eight pounds for each cuoic
foot. A six-inch solid shot was
fired through the dam, striking it a;
"a distance of about twenty inches
from the bottom. The shot struck
the dam at a velocity of |, 900 feet a
second and passed clear through
both the iron walls and the cellu-
lose packing. Less than half a
pound Of the cellulose was carried
out by the projectile. The water
compartment of the dam was filed
giving a pressure of nearly five feet
Of water on the perforated surface.
In Just half an hour q moist spot
began TO show on the outer surface
lof the dam, but it was evident that
the moisture had come along the
bottom of the packing and not
through the path of the shot. In
four hours no water had come
through the shots path, and only
six gallons had passed under the
packing. The experiment con
clusively demonstrated that ship
provided with Golfer dam, packed
as was the one used in the expert
ment, could be perforated five feet
below the water line without the
least danger of the eentrance OF water
The demonstration opens uP an inn
mense market for Indian corn pith,
and will prove Of great advantage to
american agriculture.
I Among those who were present al
he trial were Admiral Decker, di-
rector, and Col. Ricosanin, deputy
director of the naval proving
grounds at Poligon; Col. Nicolas
Zitoff, members of the naval con-
struclion board of the Russian navy ;
Mr.. Henry q. Watts, representative
Of the Marsden company; Mr.. Irv-
ing Scott, president OF the Union
iron works of San Francisco; DIR.
III. w. Wiley, representative of the
department of agriculture, Wash
ington, ID. c., and many Others.
After extracting the cellulose for
packing Golfer dams and other pur-
poses, the outer envelope of the
stalk is ground into an excellent
cattle food. This property of the
maize stalk is OF the greatest i'm
portance. 1t is evident that this
waste product of the vast maize
fields Of America is destined to in
terest European nations and find
eventually a wide market.
Similar trials of maize pith as an
obturating material for battleships
have been made in England with
favorable results.

WHERE TEDDY DIDN'T SUCCEED.
Leader Of Rough Riders Fails As Sun.
day School Teacher.

Some new features Of the versatile
career of Theodore Roosevelt bob
up as we slip and slide along. The
latest story about nim appears Just
as he is being loudly talked Of as a
candidate for governor Of New York.
In substance the charge is that he
once attempted to teach a Sunday
school class in the Episcopal church.
He was not proficient in all the de-
tails Of the form Of worship, and his
shortcomings attracted the atten-
ton OF the superintendent. After
the school had been dismissed the
superintendent spoke to Teacher
Roosevelt about his failure to make
the proper responses to certain por-
tions of the service.
"You should row the head when
the name Of Lord is read aloud!
That is very important" said the
superintendent.
''Is it a part of the service?"
Roosevelt asked.
cit is"
4 "All right; I'll try to do any
thing required in the service. I'll
stand on my head it you say |
ought to!
The superintendent was so shock
ed ty such language that he re-
ported the matter to the session
and on the following Sunday Roose
velt's class had a new teacher.
