COMMISSION WILL
SAVE OLD SONGS
Useful Work Undertaken By the
United States Bureau Of
Education.

The threatened disappearance Of the
old-time songs and ballads before the
food OF meretricious 'rag-tIme ditties OF
the day has moved the United States
Bureau OF Education to take steps for
their preservation.
Prof. c. Alphonso Smith. of the Uni
versity Of Virginia. has been commits
sbned to conduct the search for authen-
tic versions Of these ballads, and has
issued an appeal TO teachers and folk
lore societies throughout the United
States for cooperation.
Much of this work is already done by
the compiler Of the volume Songs That
Never Grow Old" which The Herald
Is Offering to Its readers in connection
with coupon printed on another page.
In this volume. which II offered both In
cloth and paper binding. the contents OF
both editions being Identical. ballads OF
all countries and OF many centuries are
published together with the proper music.
Tunes retain their hold on the MEM
ory much longer than words. II is for
that reason that the Bureau Of Educa-
tion fears that the words of some old
ballads may be obliterated from recolIec-
tion unless preserved. How many peo-
pie, for example. remember exactly the
words of more than the first verses of
even such comparatively modern ballads
as Aud Lang Syne' or Annie
Laurie?''
A book such as this one is indispen-
sable in the home circle. School teach
ers tell laughable stories of the extraor-
dinary and meaningless doggereI that
school children sing in school to
patriotic airs with which they are famil-
lar They have failed to memorize the
words at first. and gradually adopted a
version Of their own. which. fitting the
tune and meter, passes unnoticed in
class singing.
Ignorance of this sort will be impos-
sible in a home possessing Songs That
Never Grow Old" Besides a number
OF such ballads as Prof. Smith Is col
lecting. the volume includes the national
airs Of all civilized nations. arias and
songs from the great operas. with a
galaxy of portraits of the most eminent
singers Of the time. devotional songs
and the rollicking lilts Of college and
the stage.

Fifty years ago, today. at 1:45 In. the
morning. the L. s. S. Minnesota, lying
in Hampton Roads, Va. was attacked
by the Confederate torpedo boat Squik
and narrowly ESCAPED destruction.
A heavier charge Of explosive in the
torpedo used would have sent the ship
to the bottom, while a more success
full placing of the torpedo under the
ships hull would have had the same
effect. The Minnesota was one of the
largest Of the steam frigates OF the
old navy, was built of wood. and at
this time was flagship of the North
Atlantic blOckading squadron, carry
ing the flag of Admiral Samuel p. Lee.
The attack on the Minnesota served
TO call public attention afresh to the
aggressiveness of the Confederates in
employing torpedoes, the use of which
they bad introduced in the war. The
boat from which II was made was
built at Richmond, and came down the
James River for the purpose of sink
ing the Minnesota. 1t was commanded

FIRE These Jumps of coal were the cause
of destruction on board ships as well as
on shore
On August .. 1854. there occurred a dis
astrous explosion OF an ordnance barge
al CITY Point. costing many lives. that
was due to torpedo, or Internal ma
chine, placed in a box and sent on board
by spy.
To the coal torpedo was attributed the
destruction on November q. 1854. of the
dispatch boat Greyhound Of Gen. But
lers headquarters. On board at the time
was Gen. Butler, Admiral d. d. Porte
Gen. r. c. Schenck. and several staar
officers. The boat was on its way to Fort
Monroe from Atkins Landing. when the
fire burst out in the coal bunker. This
was suppressed. but another fire, start
ing in the same way. gained such head
way that the people on board had only
time to escape on boats and RATS before
the vessel was consumed.
Other devices were more legitimate
among them being a barrel torpedo. for
Use in channels. and a so-called frame
torpedo, an obstruction in the form Of a
frame of timber. submerged and set with
explosives detonated by disarrangemcut
of the frame.
From the beginning of the torpedo era
in the COnfederacy until the end 4 the
war there were 123 torpedoes planted In
the harbor OF Charleston. :. g. and lHI
