advised the British government under no circum-
stances to put the scheme into practice asserting
that its processes too terrible for words that
its use would be cruel beyond human conception.
So the government of Great Britain did not
adopt Dundonald's destroyer, even against Ma
poleon. 1t strongly tempted to do so in the
Crimean war, and the inventor was about to con-
struct his device when the ended In 1860
Dundonald died. and since then the British govern
ment has quietly kept its secret. 1t seems unlikely
that the plans for the Destroyer pershed with Dun
donald. The probability is that Great Britain could
them to-day if deemed expedient.
What the dreadful device really is we have no
means of knowing Mention of it made at various
times by its originator indicate that its construc-
ton is extremely simple and that it be used on
both land and sea. An important point about it,
brought out by Dundonald himself, is that if it
to be once used and revealed to the world, all
nations could utilize it.
That feature lessons the usefulness of the device
to any nation and increases the dreadfulness
of it. If all the world knew the secret of Dundon-
aid Destroyer at this moment when the nations
are at one anothers throats, assuming that the
device is effective as affirmed, it is doubtful
whether there would be single human being left
alive on the globe to tell the tale of slaughter nor
would any records be necessary, since the race of
man would be extinct.
Dundonald's dreadful Destroyer may of course
be ineffective in this day of wonderful ornaments
1t might be- in practice, the case of an alleged ire
sistible force coming in contact with an avowedly
immovable body. 1t was conceived of a century
ago. but things military have changed greatly since
then. Yet it may have a power which nothing can
resist, power not yet brought to light and one for
which no defense has been provided
1t John Bull has such force concealed in his
secret pockets may he keep it there safe from the
clutch of war crazed brutes,-keep it forever, for
humanity S sake.

Editor of tarIndependent:
Dear Sir:-In my recent communi-

the action of the minister in closing
their churches at the demand of Mr..
Slough was the hanging out of flag
of distress. /"
Am l far wrong' Mr.. Editor, when
right in the face of the ministers pres
ont Mr.. Slough stated the other even
ing that the churches are dying of dry
rot, and that the churches are being
run to-day Just to see the wheels 20
round.
am wondering how the preachers
who are throwing all their energies into
making his work success like to be
referred to as the "gang."
Again have they learned their first
lesson in making their churches as at
tractive as the moving picture show?
Are they all ready to try foundering
on their bellies in their respective
churches as soon as thev consent TO
open them again'

not, why not! If such gymnastie

Would Prevent Floods:

The local Commercial association is
in receipt of communication from
the New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce asking for its endorsement for
the NewIand Brossard River Regula-
ton and Flood Control Bill now before
congress. The bill provides for a con-
tinuing appropriation of s60,000. 006
for ten years and has for its purpose
the prevention Of floods and droughts
in all sections of the country. The
plan is to store the flood waters at
their source by means of dams and
reservoirs and release them during
the dry season. Under che plan the
Pacific nirthwest would secure s5.-
100000 yearly for ten years.
