chiv,Iry In Battle.

There was some chivalry in a naval
fight In the good old days OF Blake and
Van Tromp. when sneaking subma-
rines and barbarous torpedoes were
unknown and naval commanders
"courted war like a mistress"
When the Spanish Admiral 0quendo
declined to come out of the shallow
waters Of Goodwin sands to fight be
because he had no powder Van Tromp
said, Il have powder enough for both.
/ viii give him half mine"
'Tt Is not only powder l need, but
masts for my ships" replied oquendo.
To which Van Tromp replied, Il have
plenty Of masts, a whole shipload Of
them, and you can have them II you
win only come out and meet me"
The result justified the caution OF
OQuendo, for when the two fleets did
meet the Spaniards were 50 terribly
beaten by the Dutch that OF sixty
seven ships only eighteen reached Dun

Prismatic lake, In Yellowstone park.
IA the most perfect spring Of its kind
In the world 1t rests on the summit
OF a self built mound, sloping gently
IN all directions. Down this slope the
overflow from the spring descends In
tiny rivulets, everywhere interiaced
with one another. A map Of the mound
resembles a spider web with the spider
(the spring. In the center. The pool is
$50 by 300 feet in size. Over the lake
hangs an ever present cloud Of steam,
which itself often bears a crimson
tinge. reflected from the waters below.
The steam unfortunately obscures the
surface OF the lake, and one involun-
tarily wishes for a rowboat In which to
explore its unseen portions. Whenever
visible there is a varied and wonderful
play Of colors, which fully Justifies the
name. - THE Yellowstone National

The tin Of trade Is not pure, but has
In 1t little iron. lead or arsenic. Tin
Is a metal Of chemistry. Its principal
ore Is called tin stone or tin oxide and
Is made up OF tin and oxygen. To OBJ
tain the tin the ore Is heated In fur
naces with charcoal The carbon of
the charcoal unites with the oxygen Of
the ore, forming carbonic acid gas,
which passes on into the air, leaving
the tin, which melts and is drawn on
and cooled In iron molds. This Is called
block tin. Tin ore is chiefly found In
Cornwall. England: Banca, In Dutch
East Indies; Malacca and Queensland
and New South Wales. In Australia.
Tin was used by the ancients. The
Phoenicians obtained most OF their tin
from the British isles. When the Ro-
mans conquered Britain they worked
the tin mines in Cornwall by means OF
slaves.

At a time when the population Of
London was well over a million and
her houses lay for miles on each side
Of the river she was apparently well
content with her one London bridge.
At length In 1874 Westminster was
seized with the desire 10 have a
bridge OF her own. Application was
made to parliament for powers only to
encounter the lercest opposition from
the city, the 10000 watermen. the In
habitants Of Southwark and the west
country bargemen, all OF whom i'm
plored the commons to protect them
against this new enemy. The result
was that the bridge was not built till
175O. Blackfriars, at first called Pitts
bridge, was finished In 1769 at a cost
Of EGO, 900, betrayed by tolls. Water
loo was opened on the second anniyer-
sary Of the famous battle with great

Yeast In Bread.

In the dough from which bread Is
made there is a lot Of sugar, which
contains carbon. hydrogen and oxygen.
II is necessary to ferment this sugar
to make bread edible, and yeast Is used
because 1t has the power to do this 1t
is made from a plant having this
quality. Fermenting sugar is equiya-
lent to burning 1t. and there are two
results. One Is the formation OF car
bonic acid gas. A great deal OF this
gas is caught in the dough In the form
Of large or small bubbles, and some Of
1t escapes into the air. The part that
cannot escape causes the dough to rise
and makes the bread light The holes
In bread are the little pockets which
held the carbonIc acid gas The effect
Of the bubbles is to lift the body Of
dough 30 that the heat can penetrate

The practice Of fasting" states a

d q morbid craving for food which
comes Of habit rather than from any

mo Quarter eiNsn.s

'It Is forbidden to declare that no
quarter shall be given" So say The
Hague regulations. That is a more
modern rule than you would think.
The Duke Of Wellington said that he
understood that the defenders Of a for
tress taken by storm had no right to
quarter, although he himself did not,
as q rule. adopt such a cruel practice.
A century ago, when feeble garrison
stubbornly held out In a feebly fortified
place against a force manifestly supe-
rior and apparently able to take it
eventually, 1t was usually refused quar-
ter. There was an attempt to justify
the refusal by a doctrine OF futile re-
sistance"-that he who uselessly resist
ed and caused assaulting or besieging
forces unnecessary loss OF life did not
deserve to have his own life spared.
But that doctrine has been rejected
Carried to its illogical conclusion IL
would mean that every member Of

test could be killed.-Wnliam II. Col
