Recently there has been good deal
of quiet discussion among naval men
concerning the explosion OF the
Maine, excited by the news which
arrived from China that the warsh1p
Kai Chin exploded and sank within
thirty second while lying in the Yang
tse-kiang river, killing $50 officers
and men.
The explosion of the Maine was
one of the most mysterious affairs
that ever happened in naval history.
Notwithstanding the report OF the
board of inquiry into the manner OF
her loss. there are naval officers VINO
maintain that the cause OF the eX-
plosion of the Maine has never been
cleared up. They say that no positive
evidence was adduced to show that
the Maine was exploded from the out
side. although the report of the board
pointed out many significant facts
which supported this contention.
On the other hand there was some
evidence tending to show that the
explosion was of interior origin
Among this was the fact that abou
| half an hour before the explosion
there was an unaccountable and SUD

den rise in the temperature OF one OF
the magazines, which fact was report
ed to Capt Sigsbee and entered in the
records.
Some thought this was occasioned
by spontaneous combustion in one OF
the coal bunkers and which subse-
quently exploded one of the maya
zines. Such combustion is known to
be liable to occur, especially when
vessels are lying in tropical waters.
A British man-ofwar had previously
been exploded by fire from spontane-
Gus combustion reaching one OF the
magazines.
Now comes the mysterious explos-
ion of a Chinese warship OF large
dimensions. She went to the bottom
in about the same time as the Maine,
and although the total loss OF life was
not so great as on the American ship,
it was relatively higher, as only two
escaped The Kai Chin was an up-to'
date ship, having been built in 1884,
and she resembled the Maine in many
particulars.

This Is Still Going On.

Daniel O'Connell once told the
house of commons an amusing story
of bribery. A farmer in the county
of Wexford was promised position
for his son in return for his vote for
a member of the Lotus family. The
fathers ambition for the boy aimed at
sergeantcy in the artillery; but
Lord Lotus, on applying for this post
for the youth, was informed that 1t
was totally impossible to grant MS
request, inasmuch as it required a
previous service of six years to quail

it require six year;} to qualify him Tor
