So we wait, a period of anxious sus-
pense, since scarcely a dozen men of
the 700 can see the approachingenemy.
At last the twelve-pounder, which is
u best range finder, rings oyt with
sharp report. We know that tie hour
has come. The captain gives an order
through the tubes to each Of the bar
bettes: Leading ship of the enemy ON
the port bow, range 1000 yards" "All
ready, Cir" comes the reply. A mo-
ment later the two pairs of heavy guns
are simultaneously fired. The ship
quivers under the shock of the dis
charge. The battle has begun. The
700 men think swiftly Of home, of
mothers, wives, sweethearts, of little
children. A shell from the enemy
crashes through a lightly armored Sec
ton Of the hull, bursts and knocks two
large boats into matchwood. Again
the ship quivers and rushes on. Home
is now forgotten. The men turn their
minds to the bloody work in hand.

As the Diver Sees the ocean,

~~NSAAb
"You may talk about the beauties of
the Yosemite, Niagara Falls, the Alps,
or any place on the top Of the EARTH"
said a WelI-known gunner in the Uni
ted States Navy a few nights ago to
the San Francisco Cali, ''they are not
to be compared with the beauties Of
old ocean, particularly such as can be
seen from a divers helmet" you're
right there said another gunner.
THE lubbers do not know what they
have missed. ] remember once when
I was a gunner's mate sitting for more
than an hour on the fuke Of an anchor
/ had been sent down to recover and
gazing with awe IN a beautiful coral
bank. It was really the most beautiful
thing I W. saw. Every color from
the rainbow was there, and aside from
that there was enough variety i'm the
strangeness of the formation in the
coral to keep one busy several hours,
cogitating on the wonderful things ma
ture had seen fit to hide beneath the
waves. I would probably have re-
manned for several hours, gazing with
rapture on the bank, and was really
thinking that down there in the
depths, away from noise and strife Of
mother earth, would suit me for the
rest of my days when a 'soup-and-
bully tin thrown over the side Of the
ship dropped beneath me and the coral
bank. Ny dream was. over. 1t was a
case Of quick transition from the sub
lime to the ridiculous, and I immedi.

Electricity in Treatment of Disease.
Recently an enlarge0A artery was
operated on by applying Vlectricity in
ternally at the diseased Aoint. The
current was applied at the aorta, the
main. artery of the body, in order to
reduce an aneurism or enlargement,
which extended for some inches, and
was about three inches wide. A hol-
low porcelain needle was introduced
into the artery, and fifteen feet of fine
gold wire passed through the hollow
and allowedd to coil UP. The outside
end of the wire was connected to an
electric battery, and the circuit COM
pleted by a metallic plate on the pa
tents hack. A current of five milli-
amperes was sent through and gradu-
ally increased to fifteen; this was left

Morals Behind intellect.
BY the Rev. DR.. N. D. Hills.

manhood is a simple method. God says that a nation piles up the
II clouds of a coming storm. Not simply is it a sign of individual
- ecclesiastical and national decay for a people to emphasize things
lEGNMNNH and forget men, but also when the scholarship of HI mind
SMY intellect is far ahead of the morals of the heart d conscience.

Decision on Press.

Ashv lille, n. O.. June 30.-Judge
j. G. Pritchard, of the United States
circ nit court, today filed his opinion
in the celebrated case ot ,losephus
Daniels. Mr.. Daniels. who is the
editor of the Raleigh News Observer,
has been fined 81. 600 for contempt
of court by District Judge Purnell.
Judge Pritohard's opinion will be
recognized as an authority in regard
to newspaper utterances that might
be construed as contempt of court.
The text of the decision in part.
follows:
1.-The force of public opinion in
this couatrv in favor of the freedom
of the press has restrained the free ex-
ercise of the power to punish this
class of contempts. and in many jur-
isdictions statutes have been enacted
deprivinR the court of the power to
punish them. 1t was taken from the
federal courts by act of congress Of
1881. which act deprives these courts
of the common law power to protect
by this process its suitors, witnesses,
officers and themselves against the
libel of the press, though published
and circulated pending the trial of
the case therein.
THAT newspapers sometimes en-
gage in unwarranted criticism of the
courts cRunot be denied. In some
instances they construe the liberty of
the press as license to authorize
them to engage in Wholesale abuse
of the court, but these instances are
rare and do not warrant a departure
from the we'll settled principles of
the law as declared by congress aud

construed by the courts.
If judges charged with the admin
istation of the law are not TO be criti-
cised ON account of their official con-
duct, the liberty of the press is
abridged and the rights of individuals
imperiled.
There may be instances where the
publication of editorials or other mat
ter in newspapers within the limita-
tions of the statute. For instance, if
a newspaper should publish an article
concerning trial which is being held
considered by the jury and should
send a copy of the paper contain ing
hereof. during the progress of the
trial for the purpose of intlue ncing
them IN their decisions, it would pre-
seut question whether such conduct
would not be misbehavior in the pres
ence of the court. or so near thereto
as to obstruct the administration of
Justice.
1t appears that the distinguished
Judge who adiudge the petitioner to
be in contempt of court exceeded the
authority ranted in 1881 and that the
court was without jurisdiction. Such
being the case. the Judgment of the
court is void and therefore null.
I'm view of the foregoing. the
court finds that the petitioner is un-
lawfully restrained of his liberty and
