Cost of Collegiate Rowing.

The annual cost of big university
crew under present training methods
is from $4,000 to $4,000. This does
not include the amount spent from
time to time for improvements and
rew equipment. 1t cost $4,000 to put
Cornell crews on the water last year,
and nearly as much will be spent this
season. The principal expense is the
salaries of the professional head coach
and the expert boat builder. These
two items alone cannot cost less than
50, 500. A steam launch is kept in COM
mission for three months every year,
at a cost of $500. The training table
costs the navy management $1,000, al
though the men pay part of their
board. Then there is the final ex-
pense of 81, 400 for race week. This
includes transportation to the point

No history of the civil war, and no

complete or just without the stories
of the brilliant exploits and heroic
daring of the navy. During the civil
war, on both sides. a genius and cour-
age were displayed which must ever
rebound to the glory of American
arms. The Inspirations of the one
were born of the necessities of the
other. The Monitor was begotten of
the Merrimac. And from that result,
in an hour, the terrible armadas of
Europe incumbered the seas as mere
wooden merchantmen.

astound and startIe the old world. A
glance at contemporaneous European
publications shows how profound a
sensation was created by the combat
between the Monitor and the Merri-
mac. England, until then the boast
ed mistress of the seas, and France
and Spain, and all the rest who could,
FASTENED to build and equip vessels
on the Yankee plan. 1t was the only
war in which ironclads, rams, rifed
ordnance and torpedoes had been en-
ployed, and in which a~steam blockade
had been kept up extending over thou
sands of miles of coast. In no war of
modern times had naval operations
been so extensively carried on, or with
the achievement of so stupendous re-
suits.
At the outbreak of the war the
union had a navy. The south had
none, not even shop in which the
simplest marine engine could be
built. Yet so great were the earn
estness, the courage and the ingenuity
of her people that the reverberation
of her guns afioat, the prows of her
rams, the wrecks caused by her tor
pedoes made indelible her claim to
have been conspicuous in the revo-
lutionizing and rebuilding of the
navies of the world.
The naval war records will give
to history all of these facts, in de-
tail, with copies of official orders is
sued, as well as with statements of
deeds accomplished. The work done
by the navy in our recent war will
also be portrayed officially, and then
we will know all of the reasons which
actuated the admirals and their eff
ficient captains, and the men behind
the guns. We are to be told all about
the wise and swift work done to pre-
pare ammunition and supplies for
the war which we did not want, tried
to avoid, and were compelled to I'M
dertake, because of the inhumanity
! of man to man, eliminating in the
destruction of our battleship and the
assassination of our sailors in a sup
posedly friendly harbor, in time of
profound peace with all the world.
The naval war records show many
| facts concerning which casual read
ers are not informed, particularly as
! to the work of the federal army dur
| ing the civil war. Grants army was
| aided in a manner not generally
chronicled by the gunboats at Fort
Donelson, Pittsburgh Landing and
| Vicksburg. Mcclellan could not
have saved his army at Harrison's
Landing but for the gunboats. Two
years later, on the same river, Grant
maintained his army on both banks
of the James by aid of gunboats, in
violation of the Napoleonic axiom:
mo army can be maintained on
both sides of river" But Napoleon
knew nothing of ironclad gunboats,
The naval war records will show
that Grants greatest campaign, re-
sulting in the capture of Viclzsburg,
was planned with complete reliance
upon the Mississippi fleet. We are
all proud of our navy; but up to
date we have had more army his
tory than navy history, an unfair
ness which is being corrected none
too soon. SMITH D. FRY.

ZINC o1de.t Kno,rn Timber.

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world, which has been subjected to the
use of man, is that found in the an
cient temple of Egypt, in connection
with stone work, which is known to be
at least 1000 years old. This, the only
wood used in the construction of the
temple, is in the form of ties, holding
the end of one stone to another.
When two blocks were laid in place
an excavation an inch deep was made
in each block, in which tie shaped
like an hour glass was driven. It is,
therefore. very difficult to force any
stone from its position. The ties APP

DANGER IN s1pHoN BOTTLES.
Those Used for Enervescent Drinks
Are Under Heavy Pressure and
Liable to Explode.

=
Few persons realize, when they are
handling an ordinary siphon bottle,
what a dangerous thing it really is.
The siphon bottles commonly used for
vichy, soda water and other efferescent
drinks are generally charged with a
pressure of from $50 to $50 pounds to
the square inch, says the Chicago
American.
That means, in plain language, that
if bottle So charged is allowed to slip
from your hands, if only for a few feet,
the jar is liable to cause a dangerous
explosion.
BY the exercise of small amount of
care in the handling of the siphon,
however, it will be unnecessary to eN-
clude it from the house. Many acct
dents might be averted if the fact that
siphons won't stand any sudden jar nor
extraordinary exposure to heat. MOI
even any sudden change of tempera-
ture. would on.y be remembered.
Never grasp the cold bottle with the
hand, as the sudden change in temper
allure thus produced is even more la
bic to cause an explosion than a suddeL
jar.
So dangerous are these siphons con
si6ered by the courts, if handled care
lessly, that they always hold the bot
tier responsible for any damage caused
by the explosion of enc Of them if even
the smallest defect in the making OF
the siphon can be shown.
Do not keep your siphons near the
range, as the heat is liable to bursi
them, and when not in use, the best
place for them is the ice box. WheT
empty, the siphon is. of course. harm
less.

old sea fighter was correct, for Dewey
did the business in hand, and took a
rest in order to get breakfast for the

The history of our navy has never
been officially published, but it is now
we'll under way. Twenty years ago
the congress authorized the publica-
ton of the records of the war of the
rebellion, but that history related
chiefly to the movements of the
armies and not of our fleets. The
preservation of the official records of
the navy during the war, 1S61-1S65,
was first preached by Secretary
Chandler in 1854. Secretary Whitney
heartily committed himself to it, and
it was on his recommendation that
an appropria ton was made, which be-
came available under Secretary
Tracy. who also indorsed the measure
with equally unstinted commentator.
Under Secretary Chandler there were
but one clerk and one copyist. Secre-
tary Whitney strongly appealed to
congress and the infant began to
learn to walk. Prof. James r. Solely,
of the naval academy, was placed in
charge of the work, where he re-
NAMED until appointed assistant sec
rotary Of the navy.
AS generally acknowledged he was
most admirably equipped for the work,

so tender. We had known each other
from childhood, went to school to-
gether, and were lovers always. Our
love was felt rather than spoken, and
it was only just before he went to the
war that he made formal proposal
for my hand. We were to be married
when he returned, but-now''-and
again she broke down.
Recovering, she continued her tale
of woe, and, being well acquainted
with Philip, she described him SO fully
that Julia could not entertain a doubt
of Philips falsity to herself.
She was a proud, spirited girl, and
her Indignation almost overcame her
grief for the untimely death of the
man she loved, but she slept little that
night.
Miss Scroggs kept her room the next
day, but in the afternoon Julia called
upon her again. She held in her hand
telegram which she handed to the
stricken one, saying:
"This will interest you more than it
does me-

wrong. Am alive and well.

"Oh!" said Miss Scroggs. in ectasy.
She had actually schooled herself into
believing her own story.
She went downstairs and resumed
her work. All at once a terrible
thought came into her mind. The tele-
gram was directed to Julia. Why
should Philip wire her? What did it
mean? Had Julia, in the kindness of
her heart, made this inquiry? She
must find out. She found her way to
the kitchen. The cook was preparing
tea. Miss Scroggs greeted her pleas
antly and soon learned that Mr.. Strong
had been a frequent visitor ut the Lo-
gan house.
"And tell you what" continued the
cook, he and Miss Julia thought lots

Ants ms Mushroom Growers.

The growing of mushrooms" for
food by a species of ants is interest
ingly deserted in the American Natur-
alist by Prof. w. NJ. Wheeler. The
ants first cut leaves into small pieces
and carry them into their under
ground chambers, where they are re-
duced to a pulp and deposited in a
heap. In this heap the mycelium of a
species of fungus finds lodging, and
the subterranean conditions favoring
such result minute sweIlings are
produced on the vegetable mass.
These are the mushrooms" which
constitute almost the sole food of the
colony of ants that cultivates them.
