An American War of One Battle.

In the annals Of the American
navy no achievement of single
commander in a single ship sur
passes that of David McDougal in
the Wyoming at Simoncseki. Hap
pening on the other side of the
globe during our civil war this dar-
ing exploit passed unnoticed at the
time.
Briefly told, the story is this: A
sloop of war of six guns, in a mar
row strait, engaged during seventy
minutes q force of seven batteries
mounting thirty heavy guns and
three men-of-war carrying eighteen
guns, in all forty-eight guns. The
japanese force comprised probably
1900 men. The Wyoming, unas-
sisted, destroyed one of the batter
les, sank two ships, disabled a third
and emerged from the conflict with
q loss Of four men killed and seven
wounded.

coIora Produced In iron,

Investigation as to the cause of
the production of colors in temper
ing iron satisfactorily shows it to
be duo to the formation of thin
films of oxidc on the surface of the
metal when it is heated in the pres
ence of air. It also appears that
the oxide SO produced is practically
transparent, first because the Sc
quence of colors is what would be
expected in films of transparent
substance when the thickness of the
films gradually increases-also be-
cause of observation on the reflected
light, the color of which varies
somewhat at different angles-but
chiefly because it is found that on
Increasing the temperature little
above the point necessary to produce
dark blue the color gradually dis
appears and the surface, though
covered with more oxide, becomes
almost eolorless again. The colors
being the result of oxidation, it .is
probable that the nature of the sur
face to be heated, its freedom from
any soiling and. the length of time
during which it is heated must exert
a considerable influence on the shade
produced.

MATRIMONIAL MisFIrs.
tbs knoeo That Are Tied For Worse.
Not For Better

NOR For Better.
Nothing is more beautiful than
the old age of man and wife who
have grown dear. to each other by
the manifold experiences of life.
80 nothing is more grim and hid
eous than such an old age when the
long years have heaped up bitter
ness and discord only, In many
country household, where wife
beating would be regarded with
horror, there is practiced a cruelty
no less terrible and even more per
sistent.
An old couple who had been mar
rled fifty years finally separated be-
cause the man wanted half bushel
OF ashes on the hearth and his wife
wanted only a peck. They had ar
gued the question unremittingly
and savagely for forty-nine years
and at last ended the bitter sport
by stormy parting.
There is grim humor in many
OF the countryman's expressions Of
his domestic irritation and discom-
tort, but they are none the less sig
hlbcant Of untold suffering.
One night country doctor was
detained at farmhouse where nus
band and wife wore notoriously in
compatible. From the Kitchen
bedroom" where he was installed
ne was forced to hear every word
OF TRADE which the woman poured
upon the head of her husband. The
victim bore it without word. At
last, the doctor relates, the farmer
rose to go to the barn for his nightly
visit to 'the critters" With his
hand on the latch of the door he
flung back over his shoulder,
"Waal, Sairey, there's that in We
that nothin' but the ground'll ever

The grotesqueness of the Incl

That might be made the. text of a
sermon on self control, cheerfulness,

arose in China about the year 1888
with drought and famine in the

convulslons occurred over the same
