The younger Farragut was made a SOL

The younger Farragut was made a SOL
der, not a sailor, by his father, but
early left the army for business life, and
later abandoned that also for sort of
academic retirement The scream of
shot and shell, which for time at least
was music in his fathers ears, seemed
to have left no echo in the sons breast.
Thus it has often been with the progeny
of great warriors. The disappearance of
the line of the Farraguts, of vigorous Mi
MORGAN blood, seems to mark a reversal
of the story of the vitality OF the Mi
norcans generally in this country. The
little band of Catalan people, descendants
of the Goths, who came from the Medi-
terranean island of Minorca to the shores
of America in the eighteenth century,
settling chiefly at st. Augustine and
Fernandina. have contributed a race of
thrifty, Industrious, and energetic peo-
pie to the life of our southern states.
They take to the sea quite naturally;
and the presence of Farragut in the
union navy was offset, though not with
a brilliancy to match his, by the serv-

KING OF THE AIR

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A youth of q, with an effeminate face
and frame so frail that he was several
times rejected when he attempted o
Join the French army, is hailed by all
France as king of the air. His name
Is Guynemer, and he is the popular idol
of the nation. Neither Joffre nor F'och
is held in higher esteem.
There have been not a few highly
gifted youthful commanders, notably
Alexant.r of Macedon, Joan of Arc and
Hoche. In these the genius to command
was an inexplicable inspiration. 1t be-
gins to appear that in Guynemer the
skill. to fly must have been innate. His
performances have more than once
verged on the seemingly impossible.
Guynemer has bagged q German aero
planes since the recent beginning of his
career. Although utterly fearless, he
never assumes needless risks. His serv-
ices have been of real value to the
French army for it is largely due to his
exploits that German air scouts have de-
sisted from venturing above the French
Lies.
The chances that the boy will sur
vive the ware are remote. Immelmann,
the greatest Of German flyers and the
greatest of all Guynemers predecessors,
is dead. Guynemer will almost certainly
fly once too, often. He cannot be ig-
norant Of the risk. But it is his only
way to serve his country, and today
every Frenchman serves where he can.
Guynemer is an interesting product OF
the national French spirit which has won
the admiration of all the world.

SECONDHAND STEEL

From the New York Times.
AS time passes the demand for steel
products appears to expand practically
day by day. The trade hears of high
premiums being paid jobbers by con-
sunlers for secondhand rails, plates, rail-
road track material, etc, and such a
state of the market has caused search
for salahle goods from one coast to the
other. jobber told yesterday of rail-
road dispos.ng of a round amount OF
rails, which had been in use for more
than 20 years. at 1872 ton, and the rails
when new cost no more than s2S a ton
The purchaser of the used rails imme-
Giately turned over the whole tonnage
again in export channels at price close
to 1886. Active speculation is being car
ried on in such job lots of STEEL the
cijef difficulty, according to the specu-
lators, being the scarcity Of wares most
in demand.
