HAD NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BEING DROWNED D

George l.. Newton and G. H. klau-
der and their families, of Carlsbad,
while camping last week in Dark
Canon, southwest of that town, had a
narrow escape from drowning. A
flood suddenly came down the canon
during the night and the campers
barely had time to save themselves
by retreating to higher ground. The
water carried away their wagon and
the most of their camp equipage. The
loss was about $l25, but the families
consider that they were very lucky in
escaping with their lives and are not
bemoaning the loss of their goods.

THE UTILITY OF THE BATTLE
 SHIp T.,

Primarily, he battle-ship is merely a gun-platform which can be moved about. It would be far cheaper for a country in need of defense from a foe coming over sea to mount guns around it's shores and abstain from building battle-ships... The shore guns might be supported by some coast-ldefense ships--small monitors. But this is a form of economy in which no nation with ocean-borne commerce and dis tant possessions can indulge. Conse- quently, men-of-war are built to go anywhere and do anything. The battle- ship is d mobile gun-platform. The principal weapons of the Kansas com prise 12-inch guns which can discharge, according to the proficiency of the gunners, from one to two projectiles of SS4 pounds a minute, eight of the S. inch weapons, each firing 259-pound shell at the rate of two or three 8 minute. and twelve 7-inch pieces, each |of which can throw projectiless weigh ing 165 pounds three and one half times in sixty seconds. In addition twenty S-inch guns discharge per minute shells weighing 14 pounds. In the first minute of an action at sea the discharge of a single broadside would result in about 14,50O pounds of metal being hurled through space with tremendous force The surprising anomaly is that while these guns, the cause of the ships existence. cost less than $1,000,000, the mountings and the platform on which they are carried and moved from one side of the world to the other, if the need arises, entail an
 expenditure of not far short of S7,000,- GOO, The guns are cheap; it is the plat form with it's machinery and it's 1000 tons of armor which is expensive.

THE FUTURE OF THE BATTLE
 SHIP


 In the absence of details of any great naval battle between modern ships. such as has been frequently pictured but never witnessed-two combatants of equal fighting efficiency engaging each other with big squadrons-it is difficult to forecast the development of the battle-ship; but unless the menace of the torpedo and mine can be neutralized it is practically certain that reaction in favor of battIe-ships of smaller displacements, possibly about 14,000 tons, will set in. In such ships all unnecessary weights, possib- ly, torpedo tubes and equipment, and certainly all small guns except twelve pounders, three-pounders, and Max inns, will be sacrificed in order to mount an armament consisting en- tirely of the 12-inch 50-ton guns, of which perhaps eight or ten will be dis posed fore and aft and on the broad side. Such a battle-ship, adequately armored, might have a speed of IS knots, and would prove most power full unit, handy at sea, capable of be- ing docked almost anywhere, and en- ,tailing an expenditure of about thirty per cent. less than the huge 16,000-ton ships which are now fashionable in the worlds navies. As in dress so in naval design, fashions rule for a time and then pass away. The big battle ship does not represent finality. It may remain if a reply to the torpedo and mine can be evolved, with many more Tor less important changes in arma- ment: otherwise it will assurely give place to a ship of smaller displace- ment, depending for attack on one type of gun, and that the 50-ton 12-;nch weapon. $.

PENNYPACKER AN ARDENT
 PENNSYLVANIAN.

In restricted sense it is proper to speak of Pennypacker as a man of let ters. He is an ardent student Of his ory, and especially of that which per-
 tains to Pennsylvania. Probably no man has better Knowledge of our colonial history; and no private library contains so many rare historical trea- sures relative to the early history of the Commonwealth, and especially of
 the German element. He is one of the
 few who have long insisted that Penn sylvania should receive appreciation
 for patriotic efforts at the time of the
 Revolution, But that is only 8 part of
 his claim; he has brought constantly
 to view the accomplishments of Rit-
 tenhouse and Franklin and Priestley in
 the realm of pure science. His private library is large, but it's chief treasures
 cannot be duplicated elsewhere. It
 may be said that Franklin is one of the
 passions of his life.
 Per contra, he is one of the bitterest
 opponents of the New England school
 of history and philosophy. The name
 of Adams is to him almost anathema, from the days of Samuel and John to the present generation. He looks with anger mixed with grief upon the fact that for almost a century New Eng landers wrote most of the published
 American history and biography, turn ing every redeerning phase to their own benefit and foisting the unpleasant up-
 on other sections. His efforts has been to reform public opinion, not only by his own writings and speeches but by melting others to do so. In this he has
 achieved a notable success. It is no less than the truth to say that he is responsible for some of the modern researches and publications which do
 not give New England credit for all
 our accomplishments-rn ethical

To PianOf0rte Purchasers
 THE ST FIN ERTONE PIANOFORT

The Steinertone company takes pleas 5ure in calling the attention of the pub- lie to their large stock of piaEofortes. on sale at their large factory, 106 Park Street. at manufacturers prices. The system is an acceptable one, judging by the sales Of Steinertone pianos that were made last week and the interest that is being taken by the purchasing public to secure the finest piano at the lowest price
 The merits of the Steinertone piano consist mainly of it's wonderful tonal powers in force and sweetness. These. instruments can be forced to the fur #thest extent of a hammer stroke and they still emit a pure and rich tone, while on the other hand the mildest touch upon the key produces a sensi- tive and refined musical tone.
 The action of this piano on account of it's modern construction is very re- sDonsive and subseryient to the inten- tions of the performer, thus enabling him to bring out of the string such pure tones, soothing to the performer as well as to the listener.
 Tn addition to all this, the prices of the Steinertone are low and terms very reasonable.
 cordial invitation is extended to all who are interested in pianoforte playing or pianoforte purchasing.

Received at Santiago and Not at La

Cant William E. English, commandments
chief of the United Spanish War Veterans,

Capt English was present when President
Roosevelt was wounded on the arm at
Las Guasimas' by a fragment of Spanish
shrapnel
LAS a matter of fact" says Capt. Eng
lish, Il do not think there was any shrap-
mel fire at Las Guasimas. Col. Roosevelt
was wounded in the first days fight before
Santiago July l. during the bombardment
of the heights of Ell Paso. 1t was slight
wound on the arm near the wrist, ana tne
reason l happen TO know so much about 1t
is that my own horse received a slight cut
on the shoulder from a fragment of the
same shell, which did considerable damage
among those just back of Grimes United
States Battery. The fright from the ex-
plosion caused my horse to rear and go
over backward, falling on top of me-
Capt English was too modest to state 1t
for publication, but the result of his horse
falling on him was in seriously crushing
him, and he was confined to the hospltal
for some time. 1dpl. CLL6llSu Was uot al

staff of Gen. Joe Wheeler, commanding
the cavalry division, of which the regi-

the time President Roosevelt was wounded
was acting under Gen. Sam Sumner. He
says the wound received by President
Roosevelt was a slight one but like that of

church door, or as deep as a WE'LL he GER
tainly received 1t, and it has given him a
highly honorable battle scar for life.
