What 'sUnder Fire, Means.

L TOM tne Lonuoh Telegraph.
The following are extracts from a let
ter from a sergeant in the Seaforth High
landers, dated December 10:
1.-THE Black Watch in front made an at
tempt to charge the position, but we had to
retire and simply run for it, the enemy
blazing at us all the way and cropping our
fellows like skittles from their splendid posi-
tons. There was nothing for it but to lie
down and pretend to be dead, and this
did about $50 am, till. 1 suppose, 6 pm,
the sun pouring down on me all the time

not stir hand or foot, and expecting every
minute to be my last. I could hear nothing
but the cries, means and prayers of the
wounded all around me, but l daren't so
much as look up to see who they were.
Shots and shells were going over me all day
from the enemy and our side, and plenty

tried my best to persuade him not to- but he
would go. A couple of seconds later could
hear them ptting at him, and then his
groans for about a minute, and then he was
quiet. About this time the sun began to
get fearfully hot, and began to feel it in

swollen, because was parched with thirst

Luce Bested His Superior.

From the Philadelphia Pest
Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce L. s. N,
retired. has always been noted for his ready
wit, and great many stories are told
among naval men of his bright sayings
But, of all of them, perhaps the following
best Illustrates his quick repartee:
When Admiral Luce was young man. an
ensign or a lieutenant-it matters not here
it so happened one sum her that his ship
for some days lay at anchor off Well
known seashore resort. OF course the Off
GERS, young and old, were much fetal, and
We're often ashore. One night, after some
function or other, party of the young Off
GERS, among whom was Mr.. Luce set out
for the ship. They had had an excellent
time and We're feeling Very Jolly. laughing
and talking perhaps rather hilariously
They drew up to the ship. and, leaving the
boat, clambered up the gangway Mr. Luce
In the lead. The officer of the deck hear
ing SO much noise of mirth, met them with
a severe glance as they stepped on deck
He looked them over one by one and then
turning to Mr.. Luce, who was The life of
the party, he said:
sir" ''''''''
Quick as flash came the answer:
why, sir. ] do not know what YOU
mean, sir. II Stephen &. Luce, how can he
be tight, SIR?
A ready answer turneth away wrath.
The officer of the deck walked away laugh
ing.

NOVEL FRENCH TORPEDO.
Anchored and Operated From the
shore by Mechanical TowaGe.

From the London Naval and Military Record.
The new towing torpedo, the Lege. the re-
cent invention Of Erenchman, is an ex-
henlely fishlike weapon. Though it can be
used much in the same. way as the old Har-
eey torpedo, with which some of our ships
were equipped before the advent of the
Whitehead, by being lowed at an angle un-
der an enemy's ship Crowded she allowed
the operator 10 come near enough to do
sol. Its principal function is the defense of
ports and harbors. Il differs from the
Brennan, which TO all intents and purposes
is an automobile weapon, but at the same
time 1T is mucn simpler. and probably much
less expensive. though special arrangements
nave 10 be made for its use. An endless
Grain is stretched round--feur horizontal
wheels or pullcys so as to cover the portion
to be guarded. and IS set in motion by
means of a second chain, driven by an en-
glne on shore. To the first mentioned chain
series of Lese torpedoes are attached al
Intervals, and the idea is that as the chain
moves round on its rollers the channel is
constantly patrolled, as 1t were by two
lines of travelling mines moving in opposite
directions, so that it would be practically
Impossible for ship to pass through this
guarded zone unscathed. Immediately the
chain is stopped the torpedoes become
harmless, for on the strain being taken off
the towing lever Ii automatically folds back
against the head. and in so doing moves a
safety catch into such a position as to pre-
vent the striker in the point of the torpedo
moving. In this position it may be struck
or handled with impunity, but ii is claimed
that the moment it is towed through the
water 1t becomes once more a deadly peril
to any ship that may Craze it.
The Lege torpedo is constructed of Delta
metal, which, while being as strong as
steel, is not liable to rust and corrosion
from immersion in water The charge is of
cylindrical shape, and is easily inserted and
removed from the head of the torpedo, so
that the apparatus can be stored with per-
fect safety really to hand. while the charges
are placed out of harms way in a maya
zine. Other advantages claimed for it are
those of automatically adjusting itself to
the depth required, and. on encountering
the defensive nets of an ironclad, of assum-
ing vertical position, diving beneath them
and striking the hull with its point as soon
as 1t is clear. The great point in favor of
the new weapon would appear to be its
simplicity; but on the other hand, it does
not seem impossible for an enemy to SO
damage or destroy the endless chain as TO
stop its motion, when the whole set of tor
pedoes would at once become innocuous.
Nor, for that matter, does it seem very
Improbable that its working might be af-
fected by the explosion of one of its own
torpedoeS.

SHIFTING MEAL HOURS.
When Dinner Was Served at Nine In
the Morning.

From the London Globe.
Man is not less q gregarious than an ON
niSerous animal, and one of his earliest
developments as social being was the
habit of dining in company.
When his dinner depended mainly on the
spells of the chase the hunter made it as
and when he could, being only too happy
to compound with his necessities on that
footing. But as society took form and ideas
arose, men began to realize the convent
ence and even the obligation of a fixed
hour.
But this has always shown the most ae-
ccmmodating spirit. 1t has adapted itself
to the demands of progress and the behests
OF fashion; it has, in fact, yielded to the
necessities and even the whims of society
in all ages.
Now, the word dinner is etymologicalIy
obscure, and has been very loosely applied.
W hatever it once denoted, 1t now means our
principal meal; and while doctors generally
are disposed to think that it is partaken Of
at too late an hour the investigators of an
Gent manners point to the fact that
medieval Europe ''dined" at . or 10 in the
morning.
And so has been established the fallacy
that in the course of four or five centuries
the dinner hour has gone completely round
the clock. AS matter Of fact, it has made
about half that journey.
The hour for taking the meal spoken of
III me Oiu TecpTdS us mas Cna1Seu
from in the morning till about 1 pm.
while the so-called supper time shows q
similar variation in having shifted from
in the afternoon to s or o o'clock in the
evening.
Dinner at 10 and supper at was the Gus
tom under the earlier Tudors while in the
reign of Elizabeth these meals were sew
orally advanced to IL am. and 8 in the
afternoon. This relative progression con-
tinued, and in the time of Charles ii dinner
was taken at II or /, and supper at or s
o'clock.
In the reign of Anne the dinner as
sumed something Of its modern signifi-
canoe. Attention began to be concentrated
upon it, and supper to play a less import
ant part. The former still continued to get
later, and finally supper was pushed over
the edge of the night"
With the accession of the house of Bruins
wick, dinner became. in fact, the princi-
pal meal of the day. Four o'clock was the
court hour in the earlier part Of George Ills
long reign. while during the regency and
reign of his successor it crept gradually
onward to g. William " left it at Z, and
soon after the queens accession o'clock
was regarded as the correct" time. The
doctors protested. but fashion prevailed.
What it may be in the twentieth century
is a forecast not likely to be Ventured on
