INCH SHE'LL.

Fort .lonroe, .Va.-High explos.
live tests on the monitor Puritan, an
Ichored in HaHmpton Roads, TO-DAY
damaged the vessel so seriously that
~ was necessary to send a hurry call
to the Norfolk navy yard, to have
tugs sent to tow the battered war
chip to dry dock. The tests were re-
CURED by a provision in an ordinance
Of the appropriation bill, passed by
congress-.
.wo explosives were made. each
with 1000 pounds of nitro %glycerine
gelatin, except as to a thin covering
OF sheet iron. In the first test, the
high explosive was placed against
the side OF the after turret of the
monitor; In the second against the
side OF the vessel, just above the
water line.
The first explosion cracked the
side plate of the turret, which is
eight inches thick and forced it in
ward about eight inches. A cat and
two chickens placed inside in the
same positions that the gunners and
the sighters would occupy, were not
killed.
The second explosion bent SO badly
the ten-inch sideplate of the vessel
that a big hole was made below the
water line. and the rear end OF the
boat sank TO the bottom in less than
two minutes. The Puritan draws
eighteen feet and the water was only
nineteen feet deep.
Until the vessel is d~rylocked it
will be impossible to determine the
exact damages below the water line,
how much the lower part of the
vessel is flooded. 1t is not believed
that the armor plate is cracked, al
though is was stove in.
The new explosive is the invention
Of Willard 8. Ishams. The explosive
is composed of 90 parts of nitro gly-
seven parts of gun cotton and
one part of marble dust. He claims
it is far more destructive than the
present form of explosive.
The naval experts who were pre-
sent today claimed that in spite Of
the damage done, a modern 12-inch
she'll would have done more harm.

UnDER way OVER
ALL OF COUNTRY
Cattle go Off IS Cents
Within the Past
Month.
END IS NOT YET
Commission Men Predict {
Further Decline in Prices
of All But Eggs.

Chicago.-he bumper corn cror
and the unusually heavy receipts OF
cattle and pork at the stock yards
are given by the Chicago dealers as
the cause sof the general decline in
food stufs over the country. The de-
cline in prices at the stock yards, was
followed by the reduction on fresh
meats and staples. Commission men
here today predicted a lower price
still on everything except eggs,
which they say are high and are 60
ing higher. The following shows
some of the reductions here in the
last week.
Sugar, 5 cents from 5 1-2 to 6;
-four, barrel, $6.75, from $50; pork,
l6 to % cents, from 20 to % cents;
lamb, 10 cents from 1sc; chickens,
IL 1-2 cents, from 15c; beef. 10 to
1S cents, from 10 to 81 cents.
The decline since the first of Octo-
Der Is from SO to 10 cents on cattle
in the bulk, and the market in gem
eral is SO cents lower than it was a
week ago. Hogs have dropped from
1906 per hundred weight on Octo-
Der IS, to $a.82 1-2.
The reduction is general all over
the country, except on the Pacific
coast. In Washington, d. c., beef
was reduced between 4 and S cents
by the packers and pork is down 8
cents.
Representatives of the Chicago
packers there are attributing the de-
crease to the large corn crop. AS a
result of the crop, the say, the west
ern farmers are overcoming the
market with shipments.
No appreciate decline is noted in
the southern states, save in New Or
leans, where there has been a drop
in beef steaks of from 2 to 3 cents.
Fresh pork is selling at a decline of
4 cents.
Chickens and turkey prices are off
from 8 to 4 cents, compared with a
year ago.
In Canada, Too.
The Canadian markets, which fol-
low the American markets. report

New 1ork, Bocton and other east

TURNER'S AMBITION.

Tho Great Painter Achieved Il by

Turner could not bear to sell a ia
vorite painting. He was always mel
ancholy after such a transaction. 81
lost one of my children this week." he
would sadly exclaim. At a meeting at
Somerset House 1t was decided to pur-
chase bis two great pictures, the
"Rise'' and the "Fall Of Carthage" for
the National gallery. A Mr.. Grif1ths
was commissioned to offer $4,000 for
them. "a noble OFFER" said the paint
er, "a noble offer; but. no, I cannot
part with them. Impossible" Mr..
Grifaths, greatly disappointed. took his
leave. Turner a after him. ''Tell

nation will most likely have the pic.

Turner had matured a purpose which
continued to be. bis dominant. Idea
while life lasted, This was to be.
queath to his country a Turner gal

CHICKEN RACES.
The Ridiculous "Hsn Derby" lnsti.
tutsd by Sir John Astisy.

The Ridiculous "Hsn Derby .lnsti.
tutsd by Sir John Ashley.
1t is said that the GROWING triumph
Of Sir John Ashley, that Inventor Of
absurd contests, whose forte 1t was to
arrange ace between animals which
nature apparently had made most un-
suitable for the purpose. was the III.
%stitution Of. the only races that ever
took place between chickens.
The story is that-the idea came to
Sir John during a visit to a friend who
kept q large number Of hena. He NO.
dced how rapidly the chickens used to
scurry to their. mother when food was
thrown to her: This furnished the in.
genious Sir John with a clever notion,
and at mess, he then being quartered
at Windsor, he accordingly unfolded
to his brother officers his plans for a
great chickensrace.
He bought from q farmer q hen and
a brood Of chickens. Each officer was
to choose a chicken and mark 1t with
q ribbon, SO that he, could easily recog-
nize 1t. The chickens were to be placed
about fifty yards away from their
mother, and whichever Of them reached
her first in answer to her cackle when
food was thrown to her was to be ad-
judged the winner.
And so this ridiculous hen Derby
came of In the barracks at Windsor
and was witnessed by nearly the whole
brigade Of guards, who Travelled down
from London especially to see 1t.
The race was such a success that 1t
was arranged to repeat it the follow.
ing week. It might possibly have be.
come a regular institution and a rae.
ing stable of chickens might have been
added to the attractions ut Windsor
had not Sir Johns chicken won on
each occasion with such ease as IL
cause suspicion In the minds Of his
competitors. Indeed, 1t was found, 1t
is said, that In. both races Sir John had
selected a sturdy young cockerel WIN
was much too speedy for his sisters
When victory was a certainty for one
particular competitor the contest, of
course, lost interest, and so the chicken
races at Windsor came to q sudden
end.-New York Herald.

The making famous Of the express
sion II am my W ancestor" Is usual
ly credited to Andoche Junot. for a
time a marshal of France. .Junot had
risen from the ranks and became the
Duke Of Abrantes and an important
figure at Nnpoleon's newly formed
court. One day a nobleman of the old
regime asked him what was his anccs-

never heard of the similar remarl;
made by Tiberius about Curtius I.u-
fus. "He seems to me to be descended
from himself"
Napoleon's reply to the emperor Of
Austria was In q kindred vein. The
Austrian when Napoleon became his
prospective son-in-law would faln have
