FIREsHIps ~ SEA FIGHTS.
They Were Regarded Much as Torpedo
Craft and Submarines Today,

Nothing in the thrilling narratives OF
many old sea fights appeals more
strongly to the modern imagination
than the doings of the fireships.
The idea of using incendiary vessels
for the destruction of a hostile fleet
was of great antiquity. They are
said to have been employed at the seige
of Tyre in 1893, b. c., and again by the
Rhodians about a century and a half
later. BY the English, however. they
were first used in 1870, and two CEN
turtles later had come to be looked upon
as atlegitimate naval weapon, their at
tacks being regarded and dreaded in
much the same way as are those of
the topedo craft and submarines at
the present time.
The explosion vessels or "infernaIs''
invented by the Italian engineer, Giani-
belli, were the most formidable. The
designer procured two vessels of about
eighty tons each and laid along their
bottom a foundation Of brickwork. Up
fon this he erected a marble chamber
with five foot walls containing 5000
tons of gunpowder, while on the top
of this chamber was a six foot layer of
gravel stones placed edgewise. A
marble rod rose over these and upon
1t was piled a quantity of round shot.

Geo. L. Austin Of Minnesota pairyina
Department Visits Moorhead.
Moorhead was honored with q visit
from George l.. Austin, one OF the
dairy inspectors for the state OF
Minnesota, a day or two ago, and ne
actually discovered that some of the
milk sold I'm Moorhead was thin-but
what he found was a brand sold by a
Fargo concern and it is stated that
without any blare of trumpets the
Fargo concern was fined SIS for sell
ing the thin milk. which did not come
UP to the requirements of the Mime
sofa law.
Mr.. Austin. 1t appears, also visited
GAINESVILLE, where he went to the
restaurant Of III. ~. Dennar and called
for a glass of milk. He was furnished
with one and the modest price Of 10
cents was charged for 1t. He did not
drink II immediately, but took out his
tester and tested Ii, and found thar
1t contained only 2 per cent butter
fat. AS the state law forbids the
serving of milk that contains less
than 81 per cent, he preferred a
complaint against Mr.. DennaT and
the latter paid a fine of SIS and costs.
While in GAINESVILLE he also tested
the milk that was being sold by j. u.
Bredmeir, a milkman there, and found
that 1t, too, was below the requisite
standard. Mr.. Bredmeir paid a fine Of
S25 and costs.
