turned toward the English coast,
but by an objectionable tactic
mistake which should not have
occurred with an officer of such
a w~ell-trained marine as the Eng

over the same field of mines
which the German ship had Just
distributed, instead OF taking a
different and, therefore, safer
course. While the flotilla passed
safely over the mines. the cruiser
'Amphion, having the greater
depth. struck one and persisted.
AS far as the present activity
OF the German fleet is concerned,
il is very probable that the older
ships are scattered all over the
Baltic Sea, for two reasons: In
the first place, To- lombard the
Russian harbors end to harm
the Russian Baltic Coast, then
TO guard the Sund, the small
and the big Belt. the three
straits, leading from the North
Sea into the Baltic between Dem

prevent the slipping through of

In regard to the Far East
German fleet, il appears that she
IS entirely intact. IL even seems
that the two best English
cruisers OF the East Asiatic fleet
have been damaged by her to a
great extent. A couple Of DAYS
ago the news circulated that two
armed cruisers. each having four
tunnels. whose NATIONALITY gould
not be d%lscerned'. had entered
the English harbor OF Hong
Kong, badly damaged by shells.
1t would seem that the problem
OF discerning the nationality Of
these two ships ought nor to be
such a very pulling one Tor the
English people in Hong Kong.
Outside OF that. il sounds almost
impossible that two German
ships should seek refuge in the

Where Are They?
EngIands Dreadnouuhts have
not vet beer heard from.
BY a Naval Expert

att has been England who
declared war against Germany.
Where is England now with her
enormous fleet, which every
nation had expected to simply
wipe off the North Sea the Ger
man fleet through her immense
power and her famous efficiency:
What has the English fleet done
in these few weeks since the
time her King dispatched her
with the proud order; Capture or
destroy Germany's fleet Had
the English fleet been victorious
since that time. England most
probably would have pressed
upon Denmark in order to be
able to land troops at Ejsberg
and from there to invade Ger
many from the north.
For years and years it has
been rumored that the harbor
of Ejsberg, which was deepened
by the Danish to about 2S feet,
had been ~deepened through Eng
lish influence. England, it is
supposed, wished to enable
steamers which are larger than
the regular cattle steamers ar
irving and leaving this harbor,
to use the harbor oil Ejsberg, d
place just fit Tor landing English
troops for the invasion of Ger
many. That nothing OF this sort
has happened as YET proves that
the German fleet IS stIll control
ling the Danish and the German
coast OF the North Sea, as well
as the whole eastern part Of the
North Sea itself.
"All we have heard Of until
now has been the destruction
OF the German mine layer 'koe-
nigin L.uise, and or the German
submarine boat; and a few
scouting cruisers and tor
pedo boats, provided we
don't want to believe the reports,
which again and again are pop
ping up, about the destruction
OF four English dreadnaughts
and two cruisers, now supposed
10 be lying on the 1ottom Of the
SCI in the Humber.
AS far as the destruction of
the 'Koenigin Luise' and the
sinking OF the English cruiser
'Amphion' is concerned, there are
SO many different opinions about
these sad events in vogue, that
1t seems to be worth while 10
explain the conditions under
which these two steamers worked
and persisted. According to the
naval wal plans OF both powers
involved the whole manoeuyre
took place in the following way:

bipartisan farce government like
Fairmont has and Charleston is cred
tied by its newspapers and many OF
its best citizens with having the
rottenest government in the state.
The Mayor is acting wisely. He
knows since MacCorkle was defeated
for the Senate that there is no hope
of saving the doube-headed farce any
longer than it takes the coming leg
fslature to do away with it. The peo-
pie are going to have some say in
the next charter Charleston has and
Fairmont being afflicted with the
same city killing monstrosity of city
government can take heart that the
system is being driven out. It's main
henchmen are now willing to sur
render their offices in the face Of
public condemnation. Keep your

MODERN PILLAR OF SALT.

A mountain OF rock salt, 300 feet in
helghth and nearly mile in diameter,
is described by Prof. E. F. Gautler as
existing near Jelfa, Algiers. Two other
hills of this character are known in Al
giera, both near Blskra, and in all case
the salt is surrounded by trassic marls
and clay. A curious feature of the Jel-
ia hill is the fact that in spite Of the
very soluble character of the material
composing 1t. it stands up in high relief
from the surrounding clay. and contain
no valleys or other signs of erosion. 1t
does however, contain a number of
slnk-holes, as in limestone country.
When the brief torrental rains Of win
ter occur the water sinks almost at
once into thse cavities and soak thru
the permeable salt, emerging at the
margin of the hill In salt springs. The
same showers falling on impermeable
clays and marls produce a maximum
Of mechanical erosion, SO that these
substances are worn away, leaving
the salt in high relief.-scientif
