IRONCLAD FEVER.
A Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.

In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac it was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffocating
gases generated by the explosion of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered it practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the introduction of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition of direct inter-
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through a system Of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
We're made in later ironcladS of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable to suffocate the
men below in battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turretS.
1t was in the early ironclads that
peculiar disease developed which. be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever. In this af-
lection the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but in a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The Introduction
of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and in time these metal boxes, almost
entirely submerged, came to be regard
ed as probably the most salubrious YES
sells afloat-Cassier's Magazine.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1900-07-20

The appeals to fear have well nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are so compelled to see as the fact
of retribution. The law of retribution
works in our present life. We become
aware of it in our earliest infancy, and
we never become dee'eloped in charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
quences of sin. There is a sense of
righteousness in all men, and all men
know that Righteousness brings pun
ishment. 1t is fair to assume that
what is part of mans very structure
Acre will continue hereafter. We may
give up entirely the notion of mate
rial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate, but it is in
accordance with the structure of mans
nature.-North American Review.

SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND.
An Immense Sum Expended Annual
Iy In This Form of Sport.

Iy In This FORM Oh Sport
AS to the sums spent on shooting
in Scotland, so large is the total that
it Is n difficult matter to arrive even
at an approximate estimate. In Perth
shire alone there are 465 shootings. of
which about four-fifths are let to ten
ants and bring In about 100000 a
year, or an average Of f400 year,
which seems about a fair estimate II
1t be borne in mind that this Is an ex
penslye country and that so of its best
shootings bring $4,000, or an average
of f700 a year. In the whole of Scot
land there are about 1000 shOotings,
and as each of them must at least EN-
ploy one keeper and one gillie during
the shooting season some estimate
may be formed of the money expended
in wages and the number of people
employed.
In the deer forests and on the larger
shootings there will often be from four
to six men permanently engaged and
from six to eight others working for
the shooting season only In well
known forest where | once spent many
pleasant days there were three for
esters, three gillies and three pony men
out each day. On the grouse ground
there We're three keepers, with three
underkeepers, a kennel man and two
carriers going to and from the nearest
railway station, total of IS men and
five horses, not to mention the ponies
kept for riding into the forest and
those kept to carry grouse pannierf,
On this property three rifles could stalk
each day, while three other parties of
two each could shoot grouse, or the
six could combine for driving-Cham
