supply Of powder, projectiles and
fined ammunition.
After she engagement with the Span.
ish tcct had lasted about two hour
the AMERICAN ships were withdrawn
to a sheltered part Of Manila bay for
the purpose Of taking account Of am
munition. Dewey sent up signal
from the Olympia asking how much
ammunition each ship had, left. The
signal was misunderstood. The can
tains of the American ships took Il
powder and she'll they had expended
in the fighting, and each vessel report
ed about - per cent" Dewey was
alarmed until further signaling de-
vcloped that "about - per cent" had
been expended, leaving IS per cent. IL
the magazines, enough to fight at the
previous rate of expenditure for II
hours more.
The ordnance officers have been ex.
aiming the detailed reports from the
ships engaged in the fight. giving the
amount of ammunition expended by
each during the entire period Of the
engagement, and have made a care
full computation. which has given the
surprising result that during the whole
period OF the battle the average ex-
ptntiture Of ammunition for Drwey's
squadron was only 1913 per cent. in
stead Of Is per cent. for the first two
hours. This left Sc per cent. in the
magazines an amount sufficient to
fight six other engagements Of equal
duration.
The records of the ordnance bureau
show that at the time of entering
Manila bay Dewey's ships had 40,377
shells of all caliber out Of total al
lowance Of 40.s04 and expended in the
battle $500 shells, leaving 34.517, or

Dust to dust" quoth the philosophic

one from the package and held the box
up ready to throw it away Just
think of the history of that box. 1t is
composed of vegetable matter that
was once in the soil The power Of the
rain and the sun made il grow from
the ground. 1t was harvested and
after process after process finally be-
came paper, and was made into this
box for the ennobling purpose Of hold
ing cigarettes. 1t has ACCOMPLISHED its
purpose in life. and ! am about to
throw II away To the earth where il
VIII decay ana again join itself with
the cleme hts from whence il came
probably to come forth into life for
some other purpose"
Acting upon the advice of his words
the box went down the gully below the
Augusta House on State street. and
the young man began his soliIoquy
once more. in the same line.
Here again is another source of dust

the smoke from it to curl UP ana about

in different places. The tobacco was in
Virginia, and il sprung into life
through the planting of seed in the
earth. The sun and the rain and the
other elements did the rest. The paper
wrapping was spruce in the Maine
woods that had also sprung from the
ground. The dope in the cigarettes
came from poppy in China that also
sprung from the ground. All met and

The moose that was said to have
been shot on Longely brook is a myth.
I spent a day in exploring the brook
and found nothing. | found the man
who said he saw it there and he told
me he was just joking with the boys.
The one at Scott brook was shot, last
fall, in open season and nothing taken
but the head This spring it tlOated
down with the logs as far as Webster
lake and there taken on shore by the
drivers. brush piled over what was

very badly decomposed condition.
