SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
Varied Career of the distinguished
Courtier and Adventures.

varied career OF the DlHtlnEutsneu
COurtIer and Adventurer.
Raleighs day of days was at the sack Of
Cadiz in 1896. 1t was Raleigh who over
bore the timid counsels of Lord Thomas
Howard, crying out to Lord Essex: EN-
tramos Entramosp a permission so ac-
ceptable to the gallant young earl that he
threw his hat into the sea for sheer joy
Then Raleigh betook him to his ship and
led the van under the batteries and right
into the harbor. When his vessel, shat
tered by shot, was on the point of sinking,
he left it to enter Essex's ship, and,
though wounded severely by a splinter,
had himself carried on shore and lifted on
to horse to charge with Essex against
the Spanish army. OF the sea fight Hak-
luyt says;
''What manner Of fight this was and
with what courage performed and with
what terror to the beholder continued,
where so many laundering tearing peeces
were for so long a time discharged, l leave
1t to the Reader to thinke and imagine.
OF the charge on shore he tells u.s. "The
time OF the day was very hot and faint,
and the way was all Of dry deepe slyding
sand in a manner, and beside that, very
uneven. But the most famous Earle, with
his valiant truopes rather running in
DECIDE in good order then marching, has
tened ON them with such unspeakable cour-
age and celebrity, as within one houres
space and lesse the horsemen were all dis
comforted and put to flight, their leader
being strooken downe at the very first en-
counter, whereat the footmen, being won
derfully dismayed and astonished at the
unexpected manner Of the Englishmen' 3
kinde of such fierce and resOlute fight, re-
tyred themselves with all speed possible
that they could"
We know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh
but too well-his cruel imprisonment, his
more cruel liberation to save his life by
accomplishing the impossible and his
most cruel execution on "a warrant signed
10 years earlier He knew all that is TO
be known Of success and failure, Of courts
and treachery, of sea fights and assaults
on cities, of treasure islands and tempests
and long marches in tangled forests

The most remarkable thing about the
landrail is its extraordinary instinct or
passion for migration. Whence comes to
it that overpowering desire which twice
in the year impels it, weak winged though
it is, to change its quarters to range dur
ing our English springtime as far north
as the bleak and frozen shores of arctic
Greenland, to descend in the fall of the
year away south into Africa and eastward
into Asia, reaching in its return migra-
tion countries so distant and so widely
sundered as Natal and Afghanistanp At
present, in spite of theories and surmises,
we have no satisfactory reason offered to
us for the wonderful migration-recur-
ring steadily, persistently and unfailing-
ly, year after year-of bird like the land
rail, whose weak wings and strongly de-
yeloped legs plainly attest the fact that
its natural powers of progression lie far
more in walking and running than in
flying Saturday RevieW.

WIEN WHISTLES weae INSULTS
Early Marine Engineering In the
United states.


In 1890 gongs for the engine room were
unknown, and In many of the boats, when
the pilot was i'm his house-if there was
one-or on the deck over the engine room,
he would signal to the engineer by the
strokes OF stick or cane upon the floor
of the house or deck All boats of course
carried bells and by them all notices of
departure and of arriving were made
known, and all salutes between boats
were given by their bells. TO blow steam,
as is now done by whistle, was intended
to be a challenge or an insult.
In July, 1887, the first steam launch,
the Sweetheart, 30 feet in length, feet
inches of beam and feet depth, engine
4 by ~ inches, wheels feet q inches in
diameter and boiler horizontal fire tubu-
lar designed and constructed at the
United States navy yard New York, by
the writer, then chief engineer of the
navy, was completed, and on her trial and
succeeding trips around the city of New
York was saluted with the bells of pass
ing steamboats, and oheered by people,
who rushed to the ends of the piers to wit
ness the novel sight. She attained speed
of So miles per hour. The engine was
subsequently transferred to the United
States Naval school at Annapolis.
Fuel up to the year 1886 was wholly
pine wood, though up to that time some
owners of steamboats, commenced expert
menting upon the practicability of using
anthracite coal A steamboat on her
route of six or more hours could not have
the capacity in her fireroom to contain all
the wood required and was compelled to
pile it upon her side houses, and such
boats as were on long route, as from New
York to Providence, were compelled to
invade their upper deck with wood and
upon leaving the city had somewhat the
semblance of a floating woodward
In 1889 anthracite coal was introduced
in the furnaces of the steamboat North
America, plying on the Hudson river be
tween New York and Albany, and to aid
its combustion when q high pressure of
steam was required a fan blower, driven
by belt from the wheel shaft, was re-
sorted to, but soon afterward a small in
dependent engine was used, connected by
belt to the blower. Anthracite coal was
soon afterward first burned without aux
Hilary draft in the open furnace of steam

SENATOR PENRosE has again de
monstrated the wisdom Of the people
of this state in selecting him to rep
resent them in the United States Sen

Senator for his persistent efforts in
bringing to the support of the peace
treaty Senators McLaurin and Kenny.
He had dilingently and necessarily
labored with these Senators, and in
so doing performed successfully a
duty which had been assigned him.
There are few more active members
in the Senate than Penrose.

PECULIAR ENGLISH SPELLING.
Most Difficult of All Systems TO Ac
aufre Except the Chinese,

English spelling is the most unsystem-
attic and therefore the most difficult of all
systems to acquire, except the Chinese.
The French has not n complete alphabet
to represent all its sounds in a simple and
systematic manner, but the French use
the incomplete and defective Roman al
phabet much more consistently than we.
The object of writing is to convey thought
An ideal system would allow of the con
veyance of thought with the least expendi-
ture of energy on the part of both writer
and reader.
The sounds of the spoken language
should be represented by the simplest
most complete and most logical system
There are in English 40 distinct sounds;
40 distinct letters are needed TO represent
them. With such a system the intermina-
BILE difficulty of learning to spell would
disappear, the time spent in printing and
writing unnecessary letters would be saved
and the learning Of the language by chill
dren and foreigners would be greatly ia
cilitated. There is no valid objection to
phonetic spelling except the difficulty of
introducing it. The genealogical objec-
tion is unworthy of serious consideration.
The etymology, for example, of "soph-
ism" (Which, by the way, does not import

not in its spelling. Any one who knows
the history of the word would associate
that history with it, however 1t might be
spelled. The Pathological association ia
vors phonetic spelling 1t is, of course,
impossible to make so radical a change at
once, but it does not follow that the bene-
fits of phonetic spelling, the metric system
or any other great improvement will come
to us in the surest and best way by simply
leaving the matter to chance. There is q
tendency TO shorten spelling, but the bene
fits to be derived from improvement are
so great that definite action should be
taken to secure them early and to make
the changes in the way that will be most
beneficial Changes for better and for
worse will continue to come by chance as
they have come in the past, but chance
change in so important matter as the
| language of the most enlightened and
most progressive people of the world
should not be satisfactory. Culture.

A STRONG anti trust bill, giving the
right to sue.for damages to all injured
by trusts, has been introduced in our
State Senate by Mr.. Boyd. This
measure is in the right direction.
There is hardly a day passes that the
newspapers do not record the forma-
ton of a trust 10y those engaged in a
certain line of business. Under these
circumstances the coming of trust
panic is inevitable, unless some such
law as cited above is enacted and en-
forced. In all other respects our
country is sound, with sufficient
money and no initiation with low
rates of interest, not averaging 4 per
cent. for all the money loaned in all
parts of the land with Europe empty
ing her surplus wealth in our lap and
even borrowing to meet temporary
needs. The future is bright, but for
the one cloud, and good sense and the
enforcement of the law can rid that
of danger.

of the house, in the course of general
debate on the sundry civil bill yester-
day sounded note Of warning against
extr&vagant appropriations and prac-
tical0 served notice that neither the
ship subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua
canal bill could be passed at this ses-
sion. Although he specifically disclaim-
ed speaking for any one but himself,
the statements he made, coming from
the chairman of the appropriations
committee, caused great interest. Mr.,
Cannon made a general statement of
the revenues and expenditures for the
present fiscal year, increasing Secre-
tary Cages estimate of the deficiency
In the revenues from $l12,0OO,OO0 to
S159, ,000, 900, exclusive of the 0,000, 900
to be paid to Spain under the provis-
ions Of the treaty Of Paris. Mr.. Gross
venor of Ohio, Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa
and Mr.. w. A. Smith of Michigan, al
though they did not enter into any
lengthy discussion, took issue with Mr..
Cannon, but he maintained that our
revenues might be sufficient to meet
our expenditures for the next two years
If no new lines of expenditure were en-
tered upon. But he indicated that II
would be close margin and that new
expenditures might mean a bond issue.
Throughout its open session yester-
day the senate had under consideration
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill. A lively debate was
the support of the office of the super
vising architect of the treasury, and
that official was criticized for the delay
in the construction Of public buildings
throughout the United St~tes.

A Remedy For the Grippe.

A remedy recommended for patients af-
hicted with the Grippe is Kemp's Balsam,
which is especially adapted to diseases OF the
throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first
symptoms of the disease, but get bottle to-
day and keep it on hand for use the moment
it is needed. If neglected the grippe has a
tendency to bring on pneumonia. The Balsam
prevents this by keeping the cough loose. All
druggists sell the Balsam.
