Commercial Possibilities.
A Career in the Navy.

Admiral Robley D. Evans, in National Magazine.
To my mind, there is no calling, no voca-
ton, more honorable and more likely to de-
velop the real earnestness of manhood in
tie average young man than a career in
the navy. If young men would only read
carefully and understand what a naval
career means, it would certainly inspire an
interest which would even increase the re-
eruiting of the best blood of America into
the navy today. Nearly 20 per cent Of the
sailors on board our men-o'-war at the
present time are native born; and while
the service offers no sinecure, but means q
great deal of earnest and hard work, 1t does
offer for faithful service sure and certain
and comparatively liberal reward from
Uncle Sam when the period Of active work
is over. After thirty years Of faithful serv-
Ice a pension Is assured, averaging about
5000 per annum, and this means much in
encouraging and concentrating attention
toward the Improvement of the service by
the promotion of deserving young men.
With the stupendous development Of the
manufacturing interests of this country;
with our naval vessels visiting every port
on the high seas, a liberal education is
available to the young sailor. Travel will
broaden his ideas and develop that acute
business ability that Is inherent in the ma
ture of every average American. 1t has
been truly said that a career Of even q few
years In the navy often fits q young man
for some other Network.

Explosion Of Petersburg Mine.
Gen. e. p. Alexander, in Scribner's.


The explosion made a crater 100 feet long,
81 feet wide and 80 feet deep. the contents
being hurled SO high in the air that the
foremost ranks Of the assaulting columns,
$50 yards away, shrank back in disorder in
fear Of the falling earth. The bulk OF the
earth, however, fell Immediately around the
crater, mingled with the debris Of two guns,
twenty-five cannoneers and perhaps $50
infantry (nine companies Of the 10th and
22d Carolina. which had been carried up In
the air). Quite number Of those who fell
safely were dug out and rescued alive by
the assaulting column. Some. not yet
aroused. were lost, covered up in the bomb
proofs Of the adjacent trenches by the fan
ing earth. This formed high embank-
ment. as It were. all around the crater, with
one enormous clod. the size Of small
cabin on the rim. which remained q land
mark for months. A high interior line,
called a trench cavalier. had been built
across the gorge of the salient, inclosing q
triangular space. and the left center Of this
space about conceded with the center of
the explosion. The parapets were partially
destroyed and largely buried by the falling
earth.

EFFORT TO OBEY LAW
PENNSYLVANIA RAILWAY COM
PANY USES COKE AS FUEL
Experiment Made to Avoid Emission
Of Smoke Said to Have Been
Successful.

The first step taken by the railroads Of
the District Of Columbia toward abating
the smoke nuisance in the District limits
was made yesterday by the Pennsylvania
company, when an experiment was made by
using coke for fuel on one Of the passenger
engines. It is stated that the experiment
proved to be a great success, as not a par
ticle Of smoke emerged from the stack OF
the locomotive while using this fuel. A
dispatch from Wilmington states that a
meeting Of the officials Of the railroad was
held in that city Friday, and this expert
ment was the result of the conference.
The test was made by placing about one
ton Of coke on the locomotive Of train No.
., which left the Pennsylvania station at
9th and B streets northwest yesterday at
noon. 1t Is stated that practically all Of
the coke was placed in the fire box at once
and 1t was not necessary to use any more
fuel until the train was quite q distance
beyond the limits OF the District, and that
during that time no smoke whatever was
son of the coke with coal for heating the
boiler, it is stated that coke does quite as
we'll as coal for a short time. To carry
enough for long trip would not be prac-
ticable.
It is understood that another experiment
Is to be made soon, when the coke will be
used on the freight engines in the Potomac
yards.
Mr.. Mcfarland Pleased.
In speaking of the action of Congress on
the bill to require railroad companies to
comply with the anti-smoke law, Commits
sioner Mcfarland said yesterday he was
delighted with results. The Senate, he said.
had promptly passed the House bill bring
ing locomotive engines on the railroads in
the District of Columbia within the opera
ton of the smoke law after the 1st of jan
uary, 1908, and he hoped that the bill will
go to the President within few days, SO
that he might approve it and it might be-
come law at once.
Mr.. Mcfarland said he hoped and ex-
pected that the railroads will employ the
time before the LIST of January, 1903, when
the bill goes into effect, in preparations to
meet its requirements by electrifcation or
otherwise, so that it will not be necessary
to compel compliance by repeated prosecu-
tons, as the Commissioners would other
wise have to do. He regretted that the
railroads, when asked by the Commission
ers last year to voluntarily abolish the To-
connective smoke nuisance, had not cheer
fully done so, but it was not too late for
them to show desire to do so by volun-
tary involuntary compliance with this
law. Their contribution to the smoke nui-
sance, he said, is now the largest part Of
what is left of that nuisance, and under
the new law, he believes, Washington will
be practically free from smoke.

Spectacles Demoralizing.

From the Spectator.
A certain Somerset vicar made himself
notorious by the vigor with which. in the
seventeenth century. he inveighed against
the use Of the newly-invented optic glasses.
since they perverted vision and made all
things appear in an unnatural and there
fore false light. Microscopes and tele-
scopes, with their array of lenses. he de-
clared to be impOsters. since man could
not see so well with two pair of spectacles
as with one. Some asserted 1t to be sinful
to assist the eyes. which were adapted by
Providence to the capacity Of the fndf-
vidual, whether good. bad or Indifferent.
"It was argued that society at large would
become demora1ized by the use OF specta-
cles: they would give one man an unfair
advantage over his fellow. and every man
an unfair advantage over every woman,
who could not be expected on aesthetic and
intellectual grounds to adopt the practice"
