comments on the conduct of the
officers of the German fleet seems to
confirm earlier reports on that sub
ject. He says:
"The German officers were bump
tious and brusque in manner. Their
sympathy for Spain was openly ex-
pressed and plainly shown. Their
conduct all through was in striking
contrast with the cordially of
the English, the good natured affa-
bility of the Japanese, and the studied
and formal courtesy of the French.

THE POWER OF HIGH EXPLOSl YES.

There is widespread misappre
hension in regard to the devastat
ing effect of these high explosives,
for when unconfined the effect even of
large charges of them upon structures
is comparatively slight. At the naval
ordnance proving ground, so long ago
as 1884, repeated charges of dynamite,
varying from five pounds to one hun
dred pounds in weight, were detona-
ted on the face Of a vertical target
consisting of eleven one inch wrought
iron plates bolted to a twenty-five
oak backing, until 40 pounds of dyna-
mite had been SO detonated in contact
with it, and yet the target remained
practically unipjured; while at Braam-
fortein the accidental explosion of
fifty-five tons Of blasting gelatin,
which was stored in railway vans, ex-
cavated but 30, 900 tons of soft earth
This last may seem a terrible effect,
but the amount Of explosive involved
was enormous and the material one
of the most energetic that we possess,
while it we compare it with the ction
of explosives when confined it's effect
becomes quite moderate. Thus at
Fort Lee, on the Hudson, but two tons
of dynamite placed in chamber in
the rock and tamped brought down
100000 tons of rock; at Lamberis,
Wales, two tons and half of gelatin
dynamite similarly placed threw out
100000 tons of rock; and at the Talcen
Mawr, in Wales, seven tons of gun
powder, placed in two chambers in
the rock, dislodged from 125, 900 tons
of rock. We might cite many such
examples, but on comparing these we
find that the gunpowder confined in
the interior at the Talcen Mawr was
over forty two times as efficient as
the explosive gelatin on the surface
at Braamfortein, while the dynamite
at Fort Lee was over ninety times as

GONE UP IN SMOKE.

The United States, alas! uses more
tobacco, in proportion to population,
than any other country except Hol-
land. We consume four and a half
pounds annually for each inhabitant;
the Dutch using seven pounds apiece.
Next comes Austria, with nearly four
pounds; then Denmark, Swift erland,
Belgium, Germany, all over three
pounds; then Sweden, Norway and
France, two pounds and over; while
England, Italy, Russia and Spain con-
sumo between one and two pounds
per inhabitant.
Yet, though England uses, compar-
atively, so small an amount, her an
nual consumption comes to the large
figure Of f32 800, 900, as against only
f33, 900, 900 for wheat. Tobacco, there
fore, costs the people almost as much
as bread. And, even with SO small an
average use of tobacco, the effect Of
it upon boys and young men is SO
marked, and is admitted by all to be
SO pernicious, that there is strong
disposition toward placing law upon
the English statute books which will
forbid the smoking of tobacco in any
form by those under twenty-one. 1t
is to be hoped that, if such a law is
enacted, the United States, consuming
over twice as much tobacco per in
habitant, will see the wisdom of pro-
teCtlnp her Young citizens from their
double danger.

RAILROADING PATENTS.

A single firm of patent Lawyers, c..

c., have in the last year procured
1880 patents for their clients, many
of them for rejected inventions. CA
Snow and Co. have been accused of
railroading patents through the Patent
Office, but they insist that this loco
motion is better than OK carting them
for by the latter process the inventor
often dies before he gets his patent.

FOURTH CLASS POSTlMASTERS.

FOO6I IL CLAOS EOOI IHASI Ems.
The present congress has been called
upon to consider the compensation
due fourth class postmasters for their
work.
It may be stated, without charge of
exaggeration, that the fourth class
postmaster is the advance guard o f
civilization and progress whenever he
goes. He is the man who keeps up
with the frontier line and establishes
communication between the smallest
hamlet of the country and their more
pretentious rivals of the city. He be-
comes at once a great public agent
for the local good, a representative
of the government and an enlightener
through whom the whole world is
brought within view of the little COM
munity in which he lives. Strange as
it may appear, the effort of govern
ment heretofore has been to be-little
the Importance of this officer, and to
so cripple him in his resources that
he can have but poor encouragement
in the work which he has undertaken.
The proposition, therefore, to give
a proper recognition to the country
postmaster, is one which has been too
long delayed, and which should re-
ceive immediate and sufficient atten-
ton. These men, scattered in every
little valley and at every crossroads
throughout the whole county, come
nearer to the heart of the people than
any other equal number of inhabi-
tants.
One reason for the; neglect of the
country postmaster has been his iso-
lation. While postmasters of towns
and cities have been able to gather in
convention and to press their claims
upon congress, the country postmas-
ter, on the contrary, has been unable
to do this, because very often the re-
ceipts of his office for an entire year
would not pay trip to Washington.
While postmasters of second and |
first class offices can be employed at |
fair salaries which will sufficiently re- |
ward them for their labor, the work
judged by the number of letters which
he is able to exchange between the
sender and recipient. If he delivered |
but one letter in year from his office.
he has performed that great public |
function which the government owes
to all Of it's inhabitants, and for it's
performance he should be given a
adequate to the public
character of the service, other than
being measured by its quantity. There
are thousand ways in which the
country postmaster acts as a leader
and guide for his community. He is
5he seat of intelligence, acquainting
5he people with government doings
and requirements, which would be
difficult otherwise to reach them. He
has never been considered at his true
value heretofore, but from now on, So
Jar as the power of The Constitution
extends, that consideration shall be
demanded for him which is his due.
Our friends of the letter box have
t in their own power, by moving
lnitedly and at once, to bring about
less which they have heretofore
Constitution will feel itself privila ged
pokssman in the campaign now for
ion.
