Dewey on Farraaut.

Farragut has always been my ideal
of the naval ofllcer-urbane, decisive.
indOmitable. Whenever l have been
in a difficult situation or in the midst
of such a confusion of details that the
simple and right thing to do seemed
hazy, | have often asked myself,
"What would Farragut do?" In the
course of the preparations for Manila
bay often asked myself this question,
and | confess that was thinking Of
him the night that we entered the bay
and with the conviction that | was do
ing precisely what he would have
done. Valual lie as the training of An
napolis was, 1t was poor schooling be-
side that of serving under Farragut in
time of war.-George Dewey's Auto
biography.

Il Shocked Dickens.

Survivors of great railway accidents
do not readily forget the experience.
Charles Dickens did not, when on June
0, 1861 train fell through the bridge
at Staplehurst, England, and the car
riage in wliich he was travelling hung
over the side. He acted with great
cooness and courage, helping to extri-
cate the wounded and then scrambling
back to rescue the manuscript of "Our
Mutual Friend" But, though unin-
jured, he never recovered from the
shock. Afterward, when travelling, as
his daughter relates, "he would often
suddenly fall into parOxysm of fear,
clutch the arms of the railway carriage,
large beads of perspiration standing
on his face and suffer agonies of ter
ror." Dickens died on the anniversary
of the accident, five years later.

The French were the first people to
apply in a practical shape the idea of
reviving the use Of armor on the sides
of ships They constructed five float
ing batteries clad with four inches Of
iron. OF these the first was the Ton
nante. mounting sixteen guns. She was
launched at Brest in 1850. The first
ironclad warship proper was the La
Gloire. launched I'm November. 1859
La Gloire was of 5000 tons displace-
ment and 800 horse power. The IA
nous Merrimac and Monitor gave the
world the first fight between ironclads,
but they were not the first mailed bat
tleships. The La Gloire was atioat
more than a year before the historic
encounter in Hampton Roads.-New

Arthur Horace Wilson Aston,
negro, aged twenty-five years, who
says his home is in Braddock, Pa, is
held in the Greensburg (Pa.) Jail
charged with an attack on Pauline
Torchane, a blonde, aged eighteen, OF
Trafford. Miss Torchane is under the
care of physician.
The arrival OF state troopers at Har.
rison City, where the fugitive was
captured, prevented lynching.
Aston was taken to the doctors of.
chane identified him as the man who
had attacked her. The detachment
of fifteen state troopers arrived aud
held back the crowd while Coroner
McMurray hustled the prisoner into
his automobile and took him to Jail.
Aston denies attacking the girl. He
says he fled from the road into the
woods because someone yelled that ne
was a horse thief.
Miss Torchane, who was visiting
friends in Harrison City, strolled out
along the state road in the direction
of Jeanette. She heard the clatter.
ing of horses hoofs behind her, but
did not look around, for the state road
is frequented by horsemen.
Then she felt a hand grasp her
roughly by the shoulder and harsh
voice ordered her to make no outcry.
The girl saw a black face bending
over her. Screaming, she wrenched
herself free and started to run toward
Harrison City.
The negro kept alongside her for
short distance without dismounting.
then leaping from his horse he seized
her in his arms and choked her, it is
alleged, threatening at the same time
to shoot if she attempted to call foI
help.
In spite of the threats the negro
dragged her over bank into a clump
of bushes.

ran to her assistance.
The negro saw the men approach
and with final threat to return and
kill the girl if she told who he was
he leaped onto his horse and fled.
The state troopers at Greensburg
were notified and a detachment Of fiji
teen was hurried to Harrison City.
News of the assault quickly spread
in Harrison City and citizens quickly
armed themselves and set out in pur'
suit of the negro. He was caught in
the woods.
The black was taken to Harrison
City, where he was quickly surround
ed by almost the entire population OF
the borough. Many In the mob were
armed with guns and revolvers. There
were shouts of Lynch him!"

DECISION GIVEN CARPENTER
Heavyweight Battle Stopped In Sixth
by Foul.

Georges Carpenter, heavyweight
champion of France and Europe, de
feated Gunboat Smith of America in
a scheduled twenty-round fight in the
sixth round at London.
Smith struck Carpenter. lightly
while he was lying PROSTATE and the
contest was awarded to the French
man on the foul.
Technically it is admitted that Smith
did hit the Frenchman, but the claim
is that fair minded referee would
have seen that the blow was entirely
unintentional and unavoidable.
Smith had just dropped Carpenter
with hard right uppercut. Carpen'
tier arose to his knees and began to
straighten up. Smith swung a terrific
left to catch him on the jaw just as
his knees were clear. simultaneously
Carpenter lost his balance and
dropped to his knees again. The
American could not stop his blow.

HARVEST BOOSTS SITUATION
Iron and Steel Business Shows Further
Improvement

Duns Review of Trade says this
week:
Actual progress in business is still
slow, yet with the trend in the right
direction optimism is becoming more
pronounced. The movement in sentt
ment is primarily due to the prospect
of another year of bountiful harvests
Both money and commercial paper
are rather firmer, but rates average
lower than a year ago.
"The most encouraging feature OF
the general situation is the further
betterment in the iron and steel in
dustry. There has been an unusual in.
hux of buyers in the dry goods mar.
kets, due to the Clahin sale and the
openings of many spring lines. AS a
whole, values remain steady, with an
upward trend in some directions, but
operations are still conservative"

When Vapor is Drv.

A popular misconception is the sup
position that aqueous vapor and ice are
wet. They are in themselves dry. and
become wet only when they turn to
water. So dry is aqueous vapor that 1t
will dry any moist object that 1t comes
in contact with. Superheated steam.
before 1t condenses, is n dry gas. Ice
feels wet If the temperature of the
hand Is sufficient to melt It; as ice 1t is
dry. Another misconception is that
the air can be either moist or dry. 1t
'5 Condensed aqueous vapor in the air
that is moist and 1t would be moist II
there were no air given quantity of
aqueous vapOr confined in given
space will be wet or dry according to
the temperature. At 80 degrees, for in
stance, 1t might be partially condensed
and consequently wet. while at 20 de
grees, owing to expansion, 1t would be
dry

Former Dictator Took His Time.


General Huerta.. Accompanied, by Sir
Lionel Garden and guarded by $500
of his faithful soldiers, arrived in
Puerto Mexico after a leisurely jour.
ney from TERRA Blanca in the state
of Vera Cruz. A troop train preceded
and one followed.
Precautions were taken against sur.
prise by bodies of revolutionists who
might have heard of Huertas depart.
ure from Mexico City.
The most amazing episode of the
flight from the capital was the So
journ of the former dictator at TERRA
Blanca. This town is the center of a
district through which small bodies
of Constitutionalist soldiers are con.
stantly passing. Relying either upon
the protection of the British ambassa.
dor or the prowess or his troops,
Huerta passed the night there with no
apparent concern for the possibilities
of his situation.
Meanwhile Sonora Huerta and the
members of her family had been taken
aboard the British cruiser Bristol,
where they were afforded every con.
venience that warship can offer.
Jamaica is the rumored destination
for Huerta There are also reports
that he may go to Canada or the Unit
ed States.
The advance guard of Huerta's
party learned with disgust that Pro-
visional, President Carbajal has prac'
tically invited Carranza to come to
Mexico City.
