FLOGGING IN BRITISH NAVY.
1t is Still in Practice as the Following
Account shows.

Sept. 23 Thomas Mcclellan, late sec
ond-class leading stoker on her ma
iesty's ship Doris, was logged at
Simon's Town for the offense of ma
lingering. The report Of the circum-
stances, which appeared in the West
ern Morning News of Oct. "a is not
very lucid, but [ gather from it that
the maEngering took place while the
man was undergoing a sentence of
Imprisonment on the Penelope for
striking a chief stoker ga medical
survey was first held on the accused
which, presumably, resulted in find
ing that he had been shamming sick
ness. On this a board of three officers
sentenced the man to eighteen 1ashes
after receiving eleven lashes,' said
the report, "the prisoner became in
sensible, and the medical officer pres
ent (the staff surgeon Of the MONARCHY
stopped the cruel proceeding, and the
wretched man was borne, bleeding and
senseless, to his cell" 1t does not ap-
pear therefore, to be any suggestion
that he was malingering this time
The Western Morning News, in
chronicling this incident, expresses
the hope that it may lead to re-
newed agitation for the abolition of
Aogging in the navy. l can hardly
conceive it possible that any one pos
sessed of ordinary human feeling will
fail to join in this hope. AS to the
desirability of corporal punishment
whether in the navy or elsewhere, for
certain peculiarly brutal classes Of
crime, opinion may differ. But the
idea of f1ogging a man senseless for
such a trumpery Offense as that of
pretended sickness, in order to evade
prison discipline, is revolving to the
most elementary feelings 'Of justice
and humanity. The reader will note
that this poor wretch was sentenced
(by three officers commanding her
majesty's ships, and with the approval
of the commander in chief on the sta
tion) to receive eighteen lashes, and
what that punishment would have
meant had it been carried out may be
Judged from the fact that the man had
become senseless from pain, and a
medical officer had to interfere be-
fore two-thirds of the sentence had
been executed. Such result, con-
sidered in conjunction with the paltry
character of the "crime" for which
this murderous penalty was i'm
posed should convince everyone of
the utter unftness Of many of our
naval officers to be intrusted with such
mowers over their SubOrdinateS-IIOn
don Truth.

ARTEMUs WARD AS A REPORTER.
Two Men Who Felt Injured He Set to
Fighting in the Office.

Talking of Artemus Ward said
George Hoyt recently, reminds me of
several Ward anecdotes which have
never seen the light through the news
papers. Wards newspaper life was one
of laughable adventure. He injected
the spirit of humor into almost every
thing he did.
Wards first remarkable break Oc-
Cured soon after he started to work
in Cleveland ]. w. Gay, city editor Of
the paper with which he was con-
nected, gave Artemus an assignment
on what promised to be the leading
social event of the season. The elite
society of the city was to give con-
cert for the benefit of some charitable
event at Neil hall, Academy of Music.
Wards copy went in without being
passed on, and when the paper APP
peared Cleveland's 400 were thrown
into a spasm. Artemus had given a
faithful picture of the event, down to
the description of the basso one of
Cleveland's society men at the time
He treated this character as follows:
He has voice of peculiar even
ness and symmetry Unfortunately
cannot say much of it's musical quail
ity. It is a voice which forcibly recalls
the rumbling in the bowels of an
elephant"
"In writing of the violence of a
storm which swept over the lake,
Ward said: Capt. j arrived yes
terday and said that his deck had been
swept clean of everything by the sea.
It's mighty good thing for some peo-
pie that the sea can rise up now and
then, for sweeping purposes. 1t is to
be hoped that Capt. J. will not neglect
his decks in the future"
'|When the captain saw the item he
became wrathy and at once sought out
the perpetrator The first person ne
met on entering the editorial sanctum
was Artemus, to whom he related his
troubles and asked him who the au-
thor was Without hesitation Ward
pointed out young actor who
claimed to have been misrepresented,
and who had an errand similar to the
captain.
'"The sailor at once made for the
Thespian and asked him if he wrote
the story The captain hit him on the
cheek pausing only long enough to
call him liar. Instead of turning the
other cheek the actor swat the sailor
in return.
Ward, in describing freight
wreck, remarked that only the engi-
neer, fireman and conductor escaped;
the list of the dead had not yet been
received He failed to state that the
three persons named were the only
ones known to be aboard Baltimore
News.

PROGRESS IN AUTOMOBILE CON-
STRUCTION.

During the past two years the es-
sential lines of construction have re-
ceiyed no radical change. In such
highly successful vehicles as those of
Panhard & Levassor, of Peugeot
Freres, and of Benz, two years have
not pointed the way to any necessity
for such change; but they have been
marked by very great strides in the re-
moval of mechanical imperfections
The memorable feats of the vehicles
of Panhard & Levassor of Peugeot
and of Mors in the Paris-Amsterdam
race of last year, the Paris Bordeaux
race, have been accomplished by the
removal of mechanical defects shown
by previous similar severe tests, by
the adoption of higher and higher
grade materials, by the adoption Of
methods and workmanship previously
looked upon as too expensive for any
thing but standard tool-making, and
by minute attention to every indica-
ton of experience and every means OF
convenience Even yet, however, in
spite of their feats of speed and en-
durance, they are admittedly imper-
feet as machines, although the best as
AUTOMATICALLY. w. Beaumont in
Engineering Magazine.

cord when the pulp produced there
from is manufactured within the limits

American Trade in Syria

The State Department has received a re-
port from Consul Bic Rayndal, at Beirut,
a report which in part follows: AL
though the imports direct from the United
States are YET insignificant, can at least
report progress. a year ago absolutely
nothing was being done in this line. There
were brought hither some American manu-
factures from Hamburg and Liverpool,
sewing machines forming the bulk of such
imports; now the prospects are brighter.
Mr.. Nehner has sent a sample order for
hour-some 300 bags-to ascertain what
this market wants in the way of Ameri-
can flour. He expects four grades, has
already tested the samples received. and is
hopeful that he viii be able to introduce
this product in large quantities. Several
orders have been sent for our glassware
and hardware. One commission house has
already introduced American beer. which
sells well in Beirut. An order was forward
ed yesterday to New York for various
kinds of canned provisions, prepared ce-
reals, ETC."

THE SUNS TOTAL ECLIPSE.
Prof. Bigelow's Statement Concern
ing the Phenomenon.

Prof F. H. Bigelow has written an in.
teresting statement of the total eclipse OF
the sun May 2S, 1900.
The path of the shadow, he says, will
begin at sunrise over the Pacific Ocean
just TO the west of Mexico, and extend
thence northeastward over the Southern
States from New O.leans to Norfolk, cross
ing the middle portions of the North At
lantic TO Portugal and terminating near
the northern end of the Red Sea at sun
set.
The location of the track in the United
States is remarkable for its convenient ac-
feasibility TO a multitude of people He
estimates that more than half a million
persons will see the total eclipse OF more
or less duration from their homes, and
many more will take advantage of the op-
portunity to see the event of a lifetime
Educators should encourage their stu
dents to see it. and he suggests il would
be popular thing for. the railroads to ar
range for excursions to the cities and 10
calities affording the most favorable op-
portunities for a sight, as there are good
hotel accommodations through all the sec
tions affected
The United States Weather Bureau,
which has been conducting cloud survey
of the region, predicts the chances for fair
weather as almost certain in Georgia and
Alabama. The track will pass over Mo-
bile, Montgomery Macon, Milledgeville.
Augusta, and Columbus, little south of
Atlanta.
