Only Surviving Omcer.

or the officers of the little ironclad
Monitor, which went into commission
January 80. 1862, and before the 10th
of March had achieved her momen-
tous victory over the Merrimac, only
one remains. His name is Captain
Louis n. Stodder, and is at present
supervisor of anchorages at the port
OF New York and a veteran of the
United States revenue service, says
the Brooklyn Standard Union. Cap
tain Stodder was born in Boston in
1888 and entered the navy from the
merchant marine at an early age, and
was in the gunnery school then estab-
lished in Brooklyn, when in January,
1862, a C.ll was made for volunteers
to work the guns of the "cheesebox
on raft" then in an unfinished state
ut Greenpoint. John Ericsson's new
tangled concern" as some then styled
it, was the laughing stock of all the
naval wits who had seen or heard Of
1t, and the prospective gunners were
warned that they were taking their
lives in their hands when they volun-
teered. But men were found and the
vessel was constructed at a rate of
progress probably unprecedented.
Within 100 days from the laying Of
her keel the Monitor was launched
with machinery complete, and within
$50 days she had won the victory over
the Merrimac, which revolutionized
naval architecture
The Monitor was commenced in
October, 1861. and was launched jan
uary 30, 1852. Mr.. Stodder was pres
ent on both occasions. and as he re-
mained with his vessel until she
foundered off Cape Hatteras the last
day of December, 1862, it will be seen
that he stood by her during her entire
existence.

permitting an estimation of their COM
bustion with the eye.
Since these rods give no light in
burning, they were only used for Civ
ing the hour in the house, which they
at the same time perfumed. When the
rods or cords had a certain length
they were twisted so as to form a spi
raj or conical figure, which widened
out at every revolution and reached
two or three palms in diameter Their
combustion then lasted several days,
and sometimes even a month or more.
They were suspended by the center
and were ignited at the lower extrem-
ity. The fire then ascended slowly and
insensibly in following ell the spirals.
Five marks made upon these spirals
served to indicate the five parts of the
night.
This method of measuring time was,
it is said so exact that no error of any
moment VS. detected. 1t is curious,
says La Nature" to compare this
Chinese device with that employed in
Europe in the middle ages. The dura-
ton of lighted candles or tapers also
served them to mark the time of night.
These candles were graduated just as
the Chinese graduated their rods or
cords.
The Chinese rods and cords spoken
Of above, while given the time, also
served as alarms. When a Chinese
wished to rise at night at a given hour,
he suspended a small weight Of metal
very exactly at the place in the rod or
cord which the fire was to reach at
the hour specified. The moment hav-
ing arrived, the weight fell into a cop
per basin, and the noise of its fall was
loud enough to awaken the sleeper.
This method was as simple as it was
economical. for a rod or a cord, the
combustion of which lasted a day and

stories high above the subbasement.
Probably the next building to be
completed will be the National Civil
War museum, where, 1t Is planned,

"One night" said the Captain. "ths'
Colonel was informed that the sutler
was selling whisky to the men in cans
labeled peaches. He quietly ordered
that the quarters be searched and all
canned goods confiscated. One of our
boys just relieved from headquarters
guard brought the news to our COM
pany, and there was hurrying to and
fro in hot haste to hide the canned
peaches. 1t was discovered that our
good old chaplain was out of his lit
tie cabin, and in a few minutes a
dozen or twenty cans of whisky were
under the chaplains bunk and the of
ficer of the guard failed to find them.
Just as the boys were congratu-
lating themselves on their narrow es-
cape the chaplain Unexpectedly re
turned to his quarters, and lighting a
candle sat down to read his bible.
The boys waited and waited for him
to go out or go to bed, but still he
read. At last he blew out his candle
and. waiting a reasonable time, the
boys made a reconnaissance in force.
They found the old fellow awake and
guarding pile of cans which he had
drawn from under his bunk.
THE boys scattered. wondering
what the chaplain would do next.
Later the old fellow jabbed the blade
of his heavy knife through the top of
every can and conscientiously poured
the contents into the sink. The next
morning the boys found the empty
cans in little gully up the noun
tain side. The chaplain never SUBJ
mitted any remarks on the subject|
and the boys never asked him any|
questions. But they never hid any
more canned goods under his bunk

Mad Anthony,. Battl. Flag.

DIR. Henry G. Moore OF Wabash,
Ind. has an old battle flag, said to
have been carried by Gen. Anthony
Wayne Mad Anthony during his
campaign through northern Ohio and
Indiana, toward the close of the eight
eenth century. 1t is made of home
spun linen, with thirteen red, white
and blue stripes, and in the corner In
faded letters is the name Anthony
Wayne. The holes in its canvas show
1t was on the firing line. Its dimsn-
sions are four by five feet.
DIR. Moore obtained the flag from
an Indian named Dickinson in 1885.
He was Miami and claimed that the
flag had been in his family for years

MAKING WATER BUILD DAMS.

Many readers who do not follow the
literature of engineering will be in
terested In the statement that one OF
the methods employed by American
engineers in forming reservoir dams
is to call in the services of a power
full jet Of water. as In hydraulic min
ing. BY directing such a jet against
the upper slopes of valley, the sand,
soil and gravel secured from the hill
sides can be carried by the force OF
the stream to the site of the dam in
the lower part OF the valley. BY suit
able management the water not only
conveys the materials. but consolidates
them in position, dropping the larger
stones at the sides and carrying the
finer material to the center of the dam

PUTTING OUT FIRE IN SHIPS.

A new method of extinguishing fires
on board ship has recently been tested
at Bremen. 1t consists in fitting pipes
in every compartment of the vessel
communicating with the deck, and act
Ing as safety-valves through which
smoke may ascend in case of fire, thus
giving warning of danger, and making
1t possible to watch the progress of a
fire in the hold without removing the
hatches. The chief feature OF the sys-
TEN is the use Of carbonic acid gas,
to be pumped through the pipes into
the hold until the fire is extinguished
Provision is made for introducing the
gas under pressure among the cargo
SO that IL will penetrate tightly slowed
cotton hales.

OIL ENGINES IN PALESTINE.

To what extent the utilitarian spirit
is growing in what one is disposed to
consider as the dream lands of the
Far East is shown by the recently
made statement that oil engines are
now used in numbers in Palestine for
pumping water from wells. The first
attempt at introducing the engines
there for that purpose is said to have
been made about three years ago by
German firm, the engines being
small ones of three or four horse
power. At first 10 one would try them,
but finally the agent OF the firm in
question volunteered in one case to set
up an engine free Of expense by way of
experiment, and this little installation
worked so we'll tnat 1t quickly led to
the placing of several orders for more.
Since then abou. sixty oil engines
have been set up in different places,
practically all the plantation work,
about two-thirds OF the engines hav-
Ing come from Germany and the 9TH
ers from British makers. the British
engines. II is said, growing in favor on
account of their greater simplicity Of
construction. This is an important
point when it is considered that the
engines are put in charge of native la
borers curing most of the time they
are worked.

Wien youth is with us. all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won;
We snare tomorrow in dream
And take our toll for work undone;
For life is long, and time stream
That sleeps and sparkles In the sun
what need OF any haste?'' we say;
Tomorrow longer than to-day"
And when tomorrow shall destroy
The heaven OF our dreams. in vain
our hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again;
we have no leisure to enjoy,
So few the years that yet remain;
So much to do. and. ah! we say
'To-morrow's shorter than to-dayH'
But when our hands are worn and weak,
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning in the West,
1t is not here-the bliss we seek;
Too brief is life for happy rest,
And yet what need OF grief" we say;

SOME CAUSES FOR oArARRu.

BY the rather indefinite term Ca
.arrh' we mean to include certain
common innammations of the nose,
throat and ear. The portion of the re-
sions affected is, in each case, the mu-
,ous membrane lining them. This
protective covering of the interior of
hese structures is not only of the same
n each, but 1t is also. by means Of
various connecting orifices, continu-
)us.
This close union or connection re-
suits in a common association OF dis
ease affecting these various parts. 1t
is a frequent experience for individ-
uals to suffer with a cartarrh of the
nose or throat in varying degree Of Sc
verify for months or years, when sud
denly or gradually, a similar disease
Of the ears may be added, resulting
In impairment of the hearing, tinnitus,
or ringing in the ears, and less CON-
monty pain in the same region.
1t may be said that the majority of
cases of impairment of hearing devel-
oping after youth are due to the ag-
gravated extension of long-standing
throat or nose trouble, which has
gradually involved the ear by reason
Of the unfavorable effect upon the lat
ter of the diseased condition in the
adjacent structures, or by direct ex-
tension of the disease of the ear along
the Eustachian tube-the tube-like or
ifce connecting the ear with the throat
and nose
AS to preventing the occurrence OF
this muchto- be dreaded result, it is
plain that this must, for the most part,
consist in preventing aggravations of
ar already existing catarrh in the nose
or throat.
AcSual obstruction in either of these
organs is only amenable to the sur
gical skill of the physician. On the
other hand. much can be done by the
individual himself when the catarrhal
condition has not arrived at the stage
OF obstruction, and likewise to pre-
vent recurrence Of the attacks when
the normal method of nasal breathing
has been re-establisned.

Good Soldier Though De.er,sn

Il remember" said the Major, "a

They reduced a special wood to pow

thus obtained a sort of pulp of which
they afterwards made cords and rods
of various forms. For the use of rich
persons, they employed woods OF
rarer species. These rods reached
when made of the more ordinary kinds
OF wood, two and three yards, and
were about as thick as a goose quill
They were burned in front OF the tenn

from one place to another. Such rods
