PRAISE FOR AMERICAN BRAVERY

London. March 2I.--The Philippine campaign
had Of late rather lost interest for British read
ers but to-day there is an entire change All
TIE dispatches are printed prominently and at
length Most Of the papers contain editorials eX-
pressing admiration Of the bravery Of the Amer
ican troops and sympathy with them in the
difficulties they have encountered. The general
opinion is that the American victories are not
conclusive. since the Epnos have not yet
learned the lesson Of the hopelessness Of resist
ing the United States.
'The Standard" says: The Americans are
fighting the rebels with dash and vigor that
are in marked contrast to the falternS blows
aimed at them by the Spanish generals Eng
lishmen will read with sympathy Of the success
sive charges of the American infantry across
the open in the face Of heavy fire Work such
as this has had to be done. times without num-
Der, in the course Of our own empire making"
The Daily Telegraph" says: "All the ac-
counts show that the Americans will have to
bear their full share Of the white mans bur-
den The experience the United States is
gathering to-day is that OF every Power which
has sought to found empire beyond its own
shores"
The Daily News" says: The ultimate result
can hardly be doubted. but strategcally Manila
is still threatened"
THE Daily Chronicle says What America
has TO guard against is guerilla warfare; and
the only way TO do that is to drive roads through
the heart Of the country. and to pen the insur
gents in corners from which they cannot es-
cape"
The Daily Mail" remarking upon the I'M
proved tactics of the Filipinos who In many
cases seem to have been better armed than the
Americans" says.
I'VE now see the results Of sending an army
into the field imperfectly organized and inprop-
erly armed

A BRAVE DEED.
The Quiet HerOism of a Modest Boiler
Maker on One of Our
WArships.

Few readers are aware that our war.
ships carry boiler makers who are
often called upon to perform perilous
repairs, and, in cases of emergency.
these men go inside of the boiler or
furnace. which. but few minutes be.
fore had been filled with boiling water
or red hot coal. There is no task toe
them undoubtedly saved the Castine
from destruction in the harbor of San
Juan. The Castine went into action
under full speed. The furnaces were
heated to the highest degree, forced
draugbt being used. Without warning,
a fierce Kissing noise was heard inside
one of the furnaces. A socket bolt in
a back connection at the farthest in
terror extremity of the furnace had
become loose, springing leak. The
steam was pouring in upon the fire,
threatening in few minutes to put
it out and stop the progress of the
vessel, il it did not cause a terrific eX-
plosion. All in the boiler room knew
that, unless this hole was stopped,
disaster was at hand. One of the boiler
makers, named Iuntley, ordered the
forced draught turned off and the fires
banked. Taking a plank, he threw it
into the furnace on top of the wet,
black coal with which the fire had been
banked, and then climbed far back to
the place where the steam was rush
ing from the loosened socket. For
three minutes he remained inside the
furnace. His friends drew him out of
the door; the forced draught was
tnrned on, and in few minutes the
ship was proceeding on her way as
though nothing had happened. In view
Of such deeds as this, there is little
wonder that the engineering corps in
our navy is receiving the highest
praise on every side.-ScientificA Amer

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

There is a methoE of destroying the
life of trees BY boring a hole into the
trunk in downward direction and fill
ing with sulphuric acid.
The average yield from potato.patch
farming in Philadelphia this year was
$24O an acre. For each dollar expended
from $3.50 to S. worth of produce was
realized.
1t has been found that the moss of
the tamarack swamps in Minnesota is
as good as that of the south for up
holsterers' use, and there is promise of
an extensive industrial development in
the preparation Of the new commodity.
Returns to the geological survey
show that the total production of lead
in the United States from all sources
in the last six months of 1898 was 1885,
113 net tons, compared with $50, 59S tons
in the year 1897, and 264,994 tons in
1896
Contrary to widespread belief that
hard woods give more heat in burning
than soft varieties, it has been shown
that the greatest power is possessed by
the wood of the linden tree, which is
very soft. Fir stands next to linden and
almost equal to it.
Prof. Lindley estimates that single
frond of the harris tongue, Scolopen-
drum, which is small fern will pro-
duce 100000 spores or seeds. 'If all
should grow they would in few years
cover the whole continent. 'Many Of
our native ferns produce seeds in great
er abundance than the harris tongue.
The felt mills at Dolgevile, N. Y.
which became famous on account of
Alfred Dolge's social experiments, and
, which closed at his failure some months
ago, have reopened under a new man.

the ''model housing" and the short
