ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The one hundredth anniversary of the birth Of
Abraham Lincoln will be celebrated on February
| y. 1909 Already preparations have been made in
many cities TO fttingly commemorate the centen-
airy of the great emancipation for the years go
by, Lincoln still retains the loving memory of a
grateful people. Lincoln probably the great
est American that ever lived Certain it is that he
stands above the great of his time in the love
and esteem with which he is held by the present
generation.
Lincoln was descended from Quaker family
of English origin living in Berks county, Penn
sylvania. His grandfather. however. was Vir-
ginian, and left that state to settle in Kentucky
along about 1880 Thomas Lincoln Abraham Lin
coins father, married Nancy Hanks and Abraham
was born in Hardin county, Kentucky on February
u. 1909. In 1916 the family of Thomas Lincoln
emigrated to Indiana where they lived for about
fourteen years when. in 1880, they moved to Hi
nois. Shortly after the Lincoln family had settled
in Illinois, Abraham left home. He worked as
farm laborer and salesman for short time and
entered into business for himself. Then he took up
the study of surveying and followed that occupa-
ton for short time. He was captain of com
pany in the Black Hawk war in 1882 and in 1885
was admitted to the bar. He began the practice
of his profession the following year. In the
time however he had been elected member of the
legislature of the state of Illinois, III which body
he served from 1884 to 1912 as Wing. He also
served in the congress of the United States as
Wing from 1s47 to 1S49.
1t was during the campaign of 1858 that Lin
coin first attracted national attention to himself
nv the strong 1tterances and his tncornu romising
position on the question Of slavery in his joint de-
bates with Stephen A. Douglas his opponent In
the campaign for senator. 1t was his masterfu
handling of this subject more than, any other one
thing that brought him the nomination for the
presidency on the Republican ticket in 1860 In
the campaign of 1860 the Republican party was
INIT for Lincoln, while the Democratic party was
splt ND into three parties, with candidates for the
presidency on each. The Southern Democrats put
up John c. Breckenridge, who got y votes in the
electoral college; the Constitutional Democrats put
I'D John Bell who received SO votes; the Northern
Democrats put up Stephen A Douglas. who re-
ceiyed u votes Lincoln received $50 votes in the
electoral college, 81 more than the combined
votes of his Democratic opponents.
The secession of the southern states followed
shortly after his Inauguration, and from the firing
upon Fort Sumter until the closing scenes of the
great war at Appomattox Court House. Lincoln
preserved an eouanimity of temper and displayed
such rare good sense in dealing with the mighty
problems OF those terrible days that he won the love
and affection of the nation which already had in
trusted to him the enormous task of carrying on
the war He was reelected in the campaign of
1864 by vote of 212 to 81 for George B. MeClel-

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TESTS
OF NAVAL ORDNANCE TO BE SECRET
Important Experiments Costing 100000 Planned De-
ternine Relative Efficiency of Various Elements
Of Offence and Defence

Washington, D. C.-The expert
ments in naval ordnance, for which
the last naval appropriation act con-
tains an appropriation of 100000,
now available, will be conducted in
secret. For some time the naval ord
nance officers have been anxious to
conduct certain tests which require
much expense, and which could not
be made out of the usual allotment
for the naval bureau of ordnance. 1t
was not expected that Congress would
make provision for such a purpose,
largely for the reason that objection
prevailed in some quarters to the ex-
penditure of public funds in direc-
lions which did not always show tang
ible results. 1t was pointed out,
however, that the beneficial effect of
the tests would be no less real mere
ly because new material was not be-
ing acquired There was much in
the way of theory which it was de-
sired to supplant by actual knowledge
obtainable only by tests. So many
questions have arisen among the ex-
perts as to the relative efficiency of
various elements of offence and de-
fence that they are highly gratified
to have an opportunity to settle them.
One of the most important tests is
that which will show whether the
armor now being placed on American
battleships will resist the projectiles
of high power guns at battle ranges.
Guns are now fred in tests at short
range with velocities which are esti-
mated to equal that which would
exist if the distance were what is
known as a battle range. 1t is as
serted by many that the armor will
not serve it's purpose. Actual expert
ments in firing at such ranges against
armor supported in the same manner
as on battleship have never been
carried out, and no one knows what
the actual effect will be.
Another question is whether high
explosive shells will have the effect
claimed for them and whether the
pressure of the gases of such a vio-
lent explosion will blow in the armor
side of a battleship. Then, too, it is
desired to know what will be the ma
terial effect of such explosives on the
personnel and whether the structure
of the ship will stand it. Connected
with such an experiment Is the de-
termination of the maximum depth
to which twelve-inch shell will pen
citrate the water at battle ranges and
the effect of the explosions on the
underwater body. Tests will also be
conducted to determine the resist

STEADY SUPPLY OF PEARLS.
Purpose OF. Scientific Investigation
in the CeyIon Fisheries.

The pearl banks of Ceylon, it may
be pointed out, are merely sand
banks formed of sandstone and con-
cretiors upon which isolated masses
of coral grow without forming roofs,
SO that severe disturbance of the oys-
ter bed may very easily be set up.
1t is found that the collection of the
spat by native divers is slow, but the
most satisfactory.
The pearl bearing cestode is not
a true oyster for edible purposes, but
is more closely added to the mussel
fanHily. 1t differs from the ordinary
animal in having 'byssus," or bun
die of tough threads, by means OF
which it secures firm adherence to
suitable materials, and similar to the
facilities possessed by the mussel.
Attempts are being made in cultivat-
ing this oyster by artificial impreg-
nation of the pearl forming larvae
Investigation is being carried out to
ascertain the origin of the spat and
how it periodically disappears. In
connection with this research a thor
ough study is being made of t1e sea
currents on and around the oyster
banks and of the surface drift in
the Gulf
The fishery is very intermittent
Prior to 1903 there had been none
for twelve years, and the situation
became so serious that commission
was appointed to investigate the sub
ject. In 1905 the harvest was the
greatest on record. Over 80,000,000
oysters were collected, realizing ST.
100000, two-thirds going to the
islands treasury. In the subsequent
two years it dwindled regularly, and
1908 proved barren. 1t is against
the recurrence of intermittent fat and
lean years that scientific devel-
opments are being conducted SO that
the fishery each year may be of more
steady and reliable proportions. BY
the assistance of science it is antici-
pated that the speculative character
of the enterprise may be almost
eliminated

of the Atlantic fleet this summer will

ascertain if the target could be hit

jects which will be taken up by the
naval ordnance officers during this
fiscal year. No previous announce.
ment will be made of the expert

conducted at the naval proving
ground at Indian Head, Maryland.
The tests will be made solely with
the view of obtaining information for
the Navy Department and no an

made.
