A New Years Day When England Almost Declared War on Us

IAN. /, 1862, was not a happy
New Years day in these United
States. Just f%fty-three years
ago the curtain Of night fell on
the peaceful finale to the famous dip
lomatic complication known as the
Trent affair.
Colonel e. D. Webster of Nebraska
was at that time the private secretary
of william II. Seward, Lincoln's great
secretary Of state. He said:
When Captain Charles Wilkes of the
United States man of war San Jacinto,
returning from an unsuccessful chase
of the privateer Sumter, intercepted
the Trent, with Mason and Slidell on
board, he took off the two commits
sioners and their secretaries and land
ed them as prisoners Of war at Fort
Warren, in Boston harbor.
John Bull went into an indignant,
bowling rage He demanded the re-
lease of the prisoners and an apology,
To show that he meant business he
sent troops to Canada and began prep

formal demand he sent a little per-
sonal note to his minister at Washing
ton directing him to allow the United
States just seven days to comply.
John Bulls ultimatum reached Wash.
ington on Thursday. Dec. 10.
Friday and Saturday passed without
action. Sunday was distinctly quiet.
On Sunday. just as Mr.. Seward was
concluding his reply to Great Britain,
President Lincoln came into the Office
accompanied by John Hay. Young
Webster was directed to read the pa.
per to him. 1t was read twice.
AS the second reading progressed the
presidents face relaxed and plainly
indicated a feeling of relief. AS the
secretary neared the end Lincoln drew
a document from an inside pocket.
quietly sauntered to the fireplace and
burnt it without a word.
Stewards paper maintained that the
Confederate commissioners and their
papers were c%ontraband of war and
that Wilkes was right in capturing
them, but admitted that he should
have taken the Trent into port as a
prize for adjudication. AS he had
failed to do this and by removing Ma
son and Slidell had constituted him.
self a judge in the matter. to approve
his act would be TO sanction the fright
of search which had always been de-
MED by the United States. Therefore
the commissioners would be cheerfully
delivered TO Great Britain. and that
power would be forever barred from
retsserting the right of search.
A delay Of another day and the Brit
ish minister would have left.
The next difficulty was to surrender
Mason and Slidell to Great Britain
without raising a storm of indignant
protest and opposition among the peo-

Camp a Bio Loss to Yale.

The retirement OF Walter Camp as
treasurer Of the Yale Financial union
is a most important step In the history
of Yale athletics. More than any other
individual he was the founder and or
ganizer OF the Financial union, and he
has been its only treasurer. Under
Mr.. Camps management Yale athlet-
les have expanded. baseball and foot
ball stands have been built and paid for
and a remarkable recount given of the
financial stewardship OF Yale athletics

that 1t would be wise to do it secretly.
When the plans had been made Mr..
Seward called Webster, who received
his instructions and was cautioned
above all things to guard the object or
his mission from public knowledge.

BELL RINGING ON NEW YEARS
How ire Custom Came to Be Adopted
For Jan. I.

How ire Custom Came to Be Adopted
For Jan I.
Bell ringing as a sign of rejoicing
has been almost universally practiced
at the New Year ever since the seventh
century. In China bells were cast and
used ages before the Christian era, n
I'm every large city there was a bell OF
Justice, hung usually at the gate of the
governors palace, with long ropes
along the principal streets. and any
aggrieved person rang the bell as an
appeal for justice. There were also
bells at the temple doors, and the en-
tering %worshiper CAV a tug at the
rope to call the attention of the deity
within to his presence and wants. In
Europe bells were first used as sig
nails for public worship, as fire alarms
and to give notice of assemblies OF the
people. but their cheerful clangor led
TO their use as an expression of re-
joicing, and hence to their employment
at the New Year, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat.
Superstition, however, soon played a
part in the use of the bell. About
A. ID. 800 Pope John IN. ordered them
to be rung in the churches as a spe-
cial %precaution against danger from
thunder and lightning. Long ere this
they were popularity supposed to be efii-
cacious against the Vaccinations or
the devil and his imps and were rung
at New Years. not only in rejoicing,
but also in the hope Of soaring away
the devil for a whole year. The smaller
bells employed in the churches were
first designed to furnish signals to the
CONGREGATIONS in the vast cathedrals,
but popular fancy soon attributed to
them n second Office, that of notifying
the devil to leave. and ere the elevation
a little door on the north side OF the
edifce, 1.-The devils door," was opened
and a bell rung to warn Satan.

In Wales fires are burned to usher In

| Austrians 1000, the British expedition
airy army 1000. the ServiGa as 1850 and
| the Belgians 1000. To fire all these
cannon once, at $40 a shot, would cost
1855 5000.
sHRAPNEL SHELLS
As a matter of fact. however, the
expense would be much greater, for
many Of the guns are Of much larger
caliber than three inch. Six inch
shrapnel costs $42 apiece, and the
eleven inch projectiles thrown by the
great breechloading rifles of the Ger
mans set the kaiser's government back
$500 every time they are fired.
But these figures cover only the value
Of the ~projectiles. There is the gun
powder to be paid for-all Of it Of the
smokeless kind. which costs 90 cents
a pound. 1t is burned by the ton in
such battles as have been going on re-
Gently in France and In Galicia and
comes to a pretty penny.
The newest battleships and battle
cruisers are mostly armed with twelve
inch or fourteen inch guns. A twelve
inch rife discharges a ~projectile weigh
ing over half a ton, propelled by 100
pounds Of smokeless powder, and each
shot costs $500. The charge of pow
der for a fourteen inch gun is $50
pounds; the shell weighs LOGO pounds,
and the cost of n shot is 500.
$1,000 FOR ONE SHELL
In former days an earthwork. II well
constructed, had the advantage, from
the viewpoint Of the defenders, of be-
ing almost artillery proof. Cannon
balls and bombs might penetrate 1t for
a few feet, but would do no further
damage. 1t is different with these
modern shells loaded with high explo-
sives. Burying themselves deep before
bursting they literally demolish an
earthwork as by an action volcanic.
1t goes without saying that for such
purposes guns of very large caliber are
preferably used. Such guns (42 cent?
meter were employed by the Germans
in their attack on the forts at Liege
and Namur and other places, and they
proved astonishingiy effectiye-much
more So, indeed, than anybody had ex-
pected. Some of the shells fired from
them weighed $500 pounds apiece and
cost as much as $4,000. One of these
projectiles, finding its way into a pow
der magazine at Namur, blew up a
whole fort.
The most important military lesson
taught by the present war in Europe
is that no fort can be built strong
enough to resist attack by modern ar
tillery.
VELOCITY TREMENDOUS
The velocity and energy of modern
war projectiles are truly terrific. Even
a battleship protected by an
belt of twelve TO eighteen inches. with
n displacement of from 10000 to o.
600 tons, must at least feel a consid-
cradle shock from full collision with
a large twentieth century war projec-
tile.
A ten inch gun. with a length of ALB
inches and a weight OF thirty-four and
s~ix-tenths tons, will propel a p~rojectile
weighing $40 pounds with a muzzle
velocity of 200 feet a second. 4

RELIEVES The WORST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think "HyOmei the Most Wonderful treat
ment for Catarrh Discovered"

10 not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cBnnot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
this too common disease can be fully
relieved is through direct application
to the affected parts that will kill the
bacilli Of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this, 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect instant relief
in ordinary cases. but tor chronic and
deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer
use may be necessary, and then an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for a trifling sum. 1t is not alone the
best ut might BE- called tho only
method of treating catarrh, but it is
also the most economical.
