son, entomologists contend that the
explosive temperament OF the aver

wholly, due to the fact that restful
slumber departed from the country
long before the conquest. The scien-
lists assert that no nation can be

WHEN FlREsHlPs WERE USED
IN Sea Fights They Were Dreaded and
Did Effective Service at
Siege Of Tyre.

London, Nothing In the narrative
II many old sea fights appeals more
strongly to the modern imagination
han the doings OF the flreships.
The idea Of using incendiary vessels
'or the destruction OF a hostile fleet
was of great antiquity. They are
said to have been employed at the
siege Of Tyre in 1913 b c.. and again
by the Rhodesians about century
and half later. BY the English, how
ever, they were first used In 1870. and
two centuries later had come to be
looked upon as legitimate naval
weapon, their attacks being regard
ed and dreaded in much the same
way as are those Of the torpedo craft
and submarines at the present time.
The explosion vessels, or infer
nails" invented by the Italian engineer
Gianibeln, were the most formidable.
The designer procured two vessels Of
about 80 tons each and laid along
their bottom a foundation Of brick
work, Upon this he erected a marble
chamber with five foot walls contain
Ing 5000 tons of gunpowder, while on
top Of this chamber was six foot
layer of gravelstones placed edge
wise. A marble roof rose over these.
and upon it was piled a quantity Of
round shot. chain shot, milestones,
blocks of stone, iron shod, milestones,
anything heavy which would cause the
explosion to take lateral effect The
effect Of this floating volcano was ap-
palling, for the masses of stone and
shot, disintegrated and flung skywards
by the explosive, fell and destroyed
any vessels. buildings or men in the
vicinity.
Three years later the Spanish ar
mazda before Calais was attacked by
tireships prepared by the English.
Eight vessels were selected, and SO
great was the haste that not even
their guns or stores were removed
They were ignited and launched, and
with the wind and tide in their favor
advanced straight for the center Of
the anchored armada. Ship fouled
ship amid the cries of terror and the
crash Of falling spars and though the
Spanish finally succeeded in getting
to sea the flreships' attack completely
disorganized and demoralized them.

1t was.
The most recent, and at the same
time one of the most interesting fire.
ship exploits which ever took place
was that carried out against the
French fleet at Basque Roads In 1909,
by Lord Cochrane. His explosion yes
sci intended to destroy the boom be-
hind which lay the French fleet, was q
truly awful continuance. Cochrane
piloted the vessel and lit the train at
the last moment and on the evidence
Of French captain whose ship was
close by. it did it's work well, for the
air was filed with shells. grenades
and blazing debris, while the explo-
sion tore a huge rent in the boom.

Durack was dismissed at his preliminary hearing on his state ment that he was Tremaine's agent and that he had been empowered by IT. TIemaine to do check business for the agency. Durack's action is there fore something of a neat stroke of revenge

 Bullard wired Durack's statement tc the contest board with the note that, although undoubtedly founded on fact. the protest should be treated as lightly as possible He advised no disqualification for the offense or Trcmaine, while taking no sides in the matter.

Through the cooperation of the wealth
er bureau and the bureau of statistics
in the Department of Agriculture, the
department will try the experiment of
getting out the crop report to the farm
ers of the various states by wire Here
tofore the crop report has been mailed
to the various states. and the result
has been that from seven to ten days
was required to reach some of the re-
moter regions
Now, when the crop reporting board is
ready to issue one Of the monthly re-
ports. 1t viii be made up SO as to show
the average of prices for the staple crops
by states, and the ''ten-year average" of
that crops condition will be worked out
by states also. These will be wired
through the weather bureau to the vari-
Gus states and thence will be duplicated
and mailed SO as to reach the smaller
papers and the weeklies within day or
two after the report is made up.
The first states to be experimental
with will be Iowa, Illinois, Missouri.
Minnesota, Kansas and Texas. II the
local papers take kindly to the arrange
ment and it is thought they will, the
system will be extended to the other
states. The matter has even been dis
cusSed of having a brief state summary
of crop conditions sent out by the wealth
err bureau each month in connection with
the daily forecast for each day, and
having that printed and locally posted
with the weather report.

NEW NAVY PERSONNEL LAW.

II is proposed to get the views of naval
officers before attempting to draw any
legislation to amend or replace the naval
