The floating mines problem was SINH

Japanese modification permitting the use
of mines with appliances rendering them

The war game in which the Third Regi-

The hostile fleet" had almost everything
In its favor yesterday because Of a heavy
fog. About $50 o'clock In the afternoon
the men In the battle commanders tower
discsrned what was supposed TO he a squad
ron OF four protected cruisers and a fiotilla
Of destroyers.
Soon afterward the vessels opened fire
with blank ammunition az the batteries
on Sandy Hook and were soon able to take
the big gun batteries in reverse, while
the shore guns were unable to reply TO the
naval fire. Then two squudrons, each OF
four battleships, doomed up, and with their
annihiLating fire at close range completed
the destruction Of the outer defences OF
New York. The rapid fire batteries on the
Hook proper made a plucky reply for a
time TO the fire. but,all to no purpose, so
the umpires said.
linen the artlllerymen Tell back on their
constructive mines. but the umpires held
that while the battleships could not have
crossed the mine fields the destroyers and
torpedo boats had plenty of unmined water
available, and had entered the inner waters
of the bay.
The infantry ppo assigned to the
defence Of the Hook proper got into action
then. Under the command Of Col. Alather
they were marched from Camp Stokes,
arriving Just In time TO open u fusillade
upon the ships coming into the dock There
was a mistake in communications some
where Tor the guardsmen thought the ships
were preparing to send landing parties
ashore. whereas the marines were simply
returning to deck. flushed with the victory of
Sandy Hook bay
Call to arms sounded at 3 o'clock in the
evening and the artillery reserve and sup
ports were promptly at their posts. A
bothersome mist hung over tho ocean. TIL
struggling under difficulties. At 9:l5 the
cruisers attempted to send landing parties
ashore with the apparent object OF putting
the construction mines out Of action and
capturing the guns covering the inner
waters. The infantry supports were on
hand TO repel the three attempts TO land.
No actual landing was made.
AT s44 two squadrons Of battleships
that had apparently remained out OF range
until the landing operations should be
completed were picked up by the sixty
inch searchlight. Again the squadron
scored first fire. although the gunfire COM
mand, reinforced at 10 o'clock by the mortar
battery, sank some Of the ships and COM
PEELED the Others to withdraw. A lively
cannonading was kept up until i04O O'Clock.

A medical Journal says:
Against the practice OF giving tea and

Childhood is the period when the nervous
activity is at its greatest. The brain is ever
busy receiving new impressions.
Reflex action, coordination Of muscles.

ulation. In these little people. nothing but
harm nj come from the use Of such articles
as tea or coffee.
Bad. then. as this practice is. let us as
physicians be aggressive in its prohibition.
Do not be satisfied by answering NO. when
asked as TO it's use. but let us teach the FAM

vandyke's portrait of Giovanni Battista
Cataneo for t87. 500. This Ia one Of the seven
portraits recently sold from the palace
Of Marchese Catsneo at Genoa. the disposal
OF which caused some sensation in the art

II is understood that one OF the portraits
was sold for America, n that the British
National Gallery had an option on the
others. II is sssumed that the sale was
sanctioned by the Italian Government,
as former Foreign Minister Lansdowne.
who Is chairman Of the board Of trustees,
is doubtless familiar with the Italian law
governing the selling OF works of art. and
that he would not ave sanctioned the
purchase without the permission OF the
Italian authorities.
The o acquisition is described as the
strongest and most mastery OF the por-
traits ever painted by Van Dyck.
