It seems strange that even now there are many restrictions on the use of as ordinary a thing as a cable or tele- graph wire. Yet it is true that nobody ls permitted to send to or through POr- tugal anything having to do with the deeds or thoughts of anarchists and that code messages of any kind are forbidden in Tripoli, Bosnia, Roumelia, Roumania. Herzegovina, Bulgaria and other Balkan states. After that 1t seems unnecessary to mention that Turkey forbids code messages. but 1t is . little surprising to find that you can send a message to most parts of Per sia in only one language-that is, French-and if you address most places in the land of the shah your message will be translated into the tongue of Gaul and diplomacy when it reaches Teheran.

The Turrat Battery.

Early in the nineteenth century, in 1912, Colonel John Stevens conceived the idea of the construction of an iron plated vessel of war with a saucer shaped hull. propelled by screws so ar ranged as to give rotary motion to the structure. The battery was to be of the heaviest ordnance of the time and the plating heavy enough to resist the shot of similar guns at short range. The main purpose of the craft was harbor defense, and the plan of action was to moor the vessel by a chain leading down through the bottom of the ship at its center and to spin 1t around this center, firing gun after gun as 1t came in the line of fire, thus an the later Timby turret, which in turn was the germ of the modern monitor armOrclad. Such a vessel was actually built half a century later by the Russian government and was a good representative of the first Stevens battery.-Cassier's Magazine.

According to the account, Tsang Ike, while wander ing one day in the fields, found tor toise, and, observing it's shell distinctly and beautifully marked. he took 1t home and thus formed the idea of rep resenting the objects around him.
