HORRORS OF MODERN

the devastating impact of large pro-
jecdies, as we'll as the horrible hail

The pomp and pageantry Of sea war
. fare In Nelson's day, with its stripped
crowds Of men swarming about the
1ncumbered decks, and streaming flags
from every mast, have gone with the
towering ranges of sails and nimble
sailors who leapt about aloft handling
them even during the height Of battle
The new man-of-war goes into the
fight grim, unadorned, and apparently
proceeding by her own volition, like
some unthinkable marine monster be-
gotten Of the elder slime.
Nor will the elements interfere either
to retard or accelerate the issues as
once they did. Whether it be calm or
storm, blue sky or fog, night or day,
the battle will be joined.
To landsman, and even to q mer-
chant seaman, there is something pc
cuiiariy terrifying In the notion Of g
sea fight in a fog. 1t is a time of
terror even in peaceful navigation,
since the great sea breadths seem to
have contracted, and ones faculties are
kept at their utmost tension In case of
running across another ship. Fog is
the only elemental condition that sue,
ceeds in making the great, wide sea
look a little place, where not merely
navies have no room to float, but il
seems impossible to avoid colliding
with the only other ship that was in
sight before those heecy walls Of mys
terry closed in upon the seafarers. Yet
the modern sea warrior among us IL
trained to welcome that terrifying con
dition of things, to dash at utmost
speed through the thickness and burst
upon his enemy with the sudden un
expectedness Of the lightning stroke.
And to add to all these terrible con
ditions of modern sea warfare we have
now the submarine. Not content witt

that ships hulled through and through

But modern sea warfare has changed

HISTORY OF THE TORPEDO.

Russians First Used 1t in Their Last
War with Turkey.
The history Of the torpedo, which the
Japanese used with such good effect at
Port Arthur, is brief one. Jan. %,
1878, two Russian warships, the
Tchesme and Sinope, fired one torpedo
each at Turkish guardshIp in the en-
trance to the harbor at Batoum. Both
exploded under the vessel and she
sank.
On April 12, 1891, the Chilean in
surgent ship Blanco Encalada steamed
into the harbor at Valparaiso for the
purpose Of doing some damage, and,
after accomplishing considerable in
that line, she anchored for the night
not taking the trouble to put out her
torpedo nets. In the darkness along
came two government torpedo boats

cate the observance OF certain days
without stopping to consider as to the

observance of the Jewish Sabbath has
no application to the way in which we
shall treat the first day Of the week OF
Sunday. The early Christians met on

their usual business. For the first

In 52S the Third Council Of Orleans
forbade all labor on Sunday, and in
1904 the clergy of Guthrie proelaims
a postponement of the innocent and
inugorating game of golf and base
ball. In the year S45 stint Cyril, the
Bishop Of Jerusalem, wrote as follows:
Turn not thou out OF the way to sym
bolism or Judaism, for Jesus Christ
hath redeemed thee. Henceforth
respect all observance of sabbath, anG
call not meats, common or uncommon,
or unclean.
Saint Jerome in 392 says about Sun
day, that the people went to church
and after the service continued their
allotted works and made garments for
themselves and others. He says Sun
dhy is not a day OF fasting, but day
of JOY. The early church has always
considered it day of joy and pleas
ure and none but Christian heretics
have taught different.

Luther speaks as follows: If any
