War's Death Belt Which Girdle the
Earth with a Fighting Zone.
Our wnr with Spain brings out the
remarkable fact that all of the battles
fought In the world for the past twenty
years have occurred In one fatal, nar
row ione of the earth's surface. Thnt
Eone runs Just above the equator. It

people have been killed by Jimiger or

told, the dead lu the many battles In
the Philippines, ut Formosa, at Khar

of the engagements In the Spanish war,
though fought on buttlellclds some 20,

Saultago and the uavnl victory of
Sampson and Schley, with their ac

latitude 20 north. Cardeuas. Matanzas
and Havana all lie just uorth of 20

of the war between the United States
and Spain no one Imagined that an
American force would ever be engaged
In this out-of-the-way spot, and yet the
first great battle of the war was fought
at this great distance from the contin
ent and within the bloody roue. The Lad-
rones, which witnessed several engage
ments between the Spanish forces and
ho natives, are well within the fatal
(one.
The fighting In central Africa, In
Which the British soldiers have been
engaged, has all occurred within the
limits of this zone. So too have the
various buttles In Sierra Leone, result
ing lu the loss of 100 lives, beeu wlth
lu this boundary. Many engagements
have also beeu fought around Khar
toum, which U just south of the six
teenth degree uorth. The loss at Khar
toum Is fixed by the English govern
ment at 5,000.
In Central America the bloodshed Is
almost entirely confined to the narrow
(trip of land crossed by this fatal belt.
Only a few months ago such au upris
ing occurred, ending In the assassina
tion of Barrios, In which 150 lives were
sacrificed. All the fighting was done
between the degrees of 14 and 15 north.
The Japanese fought the Formosan
rebels this year uuder the Tropic of

THE recent demonstration at New York In honor of the Sautfa fleet was a
tribute well deserved by the officers and men of the navy. The army has
done well, but the uavy has gathered the lion's share of the glory. And it
may be confessed, now that Dewey and Schley and Sampson have taken their
places beside Decatur and Perry and Farragut, that the triumphs of the United
States navy were as surprising as they were gratifying. It is safe to soy that most
people were decidedly uneay wben the war began as to the effectiveness of the
navy. Our warships had been running aground, smashing their machinery and
jamming their turrets every time they left port. The mishaps of the Texas had
become a subject for humorous comment and the mud bank misadventures of
the Dolphin constituted a stock topic for the newspaper arngraphers. The
country was distrustful and with some cause of the fighting and seagoing quali
ties of the untried battleships and cruisers. But with the first clash of arms the
navy redeemed itself. There was no more machinery smashing, no more turret
jamming, no more running aground. The once "hoodooed" Texas quit her can
tankerous tricks and went through the war without starting a rivet The Oregon
sailed around the Horn, fought in the battle of Santiago and sailed for New York
four months at sea In as good condition as when she loft San Francisco. The
Dolphin dodged all the reefs in the West Indies and gave a gallant account of
herself in half a dozen fights. There wasn't a screw loose in the North Atlantic
ficet and Admiral Montejo can testify that Dewey's squadron was up to the high
est stcadard of eQicicncy from first to last. Hence it is that the American wel
come to Sampson's fleet was doubly warm. The vessels composing it went to sea
under more or less of a cloud. , They returned in a blaze of glory and victory
which shed its' radiance over both ships aud sailors. The United States navy is all
right. Long may it rule the waves!
will be seen that on no continent or
group of Islands where this fatal" belt
crosses has there been peaco, while the
battles fought within Its boundary
have been fierce and accompanied by
much bloodshed.
GOES THROUGH AS IF GREASED.
Boft-Polnted Projectile Will Pierce
the Hardest Armor.
The present superiority of shot to
nrmor Is largely due to the simple
exped'ent ot placing a soft metal cap
over the point of the projectile.
It Is a matter of history that, just at
the time when armorplate makers were
discouraged by the ease with which the
gun-makers were able to penetrate the
toughest nickel steel, Mr. Harvey pro
duced his brilliant Invention for giving
an Intensely hard face to the plate, and
succeeded In smashing up the projec
tiles at the moment of Impact. Shots
which theoretically should have passed
clear through a Harveyized plate failed
to do so, because their points could not
hold together long enough to break In
through the highly tempered face,
which was made so hard that It could
cut glass like a diamond point
Subsequent to the appearance of Har
veyized armor the makers of projectiles
had been trying to produce a shot
which should combine the necessary
hardness and toughness to enable It to
split open the hnrdened face and hold
together until It had wedged Its way
through the body of tho plate Itself.

best makers had met with partial suc

the Sterling-Wheeler In this country
had succeeded In breaking up the face;
but the effort proved too much for the
shell, which lapsed before It could get
entirely through the plate. This has
been the case almost Invariably when
Improved, reforged Harvey plate has
been attacked.
For many months the reforged Har

next move on the part of the artillerist
was of a very extraordinary but very
successful kind. He placed a cap of

protect It, and the soft cap enabled the
shot to get through.

he soon became the talk of the femlulue
part of Madrid.
The Queen, Isabella Sequondo of
Spain, was a good deal like her ante
type, Catharine of Russia, In at least
one respect. "She liked a fine figure
of a man." One day It happened that
the young Basque recruit was among
the detail drawn for guard duty at the
palace. The Queen saw him. She dis
tinguished him by speaking to him.
The honor so disconcerted the Basque
recruit that he forgot to present arms
at the proper time, and was conse
quently told off for heavy punishment

thereafter the recruit, whose name was
Francisco Caesar Santa Ana Macias,
"because of extraordinary capacity,"
was gazetted to be lieutenant of the
Cazadores Royal de Bascaya, one of
the oldest regiments and most honor
able In the service' of Spain.
"Who the devil Is this fellow Ma
cias?" swore Cupt. Gen. Concha, the
honorary colonel of the Cazadores de
Blscaya, "and who recommended him
for promotion?" The old courtier to
whorniahis was addressed did not an

and slowly winked. In six months
Macias. was a full colonel, Macias
made no enemies. He studied to Im
prove himself. He had masters In all
branches of culture and became one of
the first scholars In the army and the
first swordsman In Madrid. He went
up step by step until he was captain
general' of Madrid, the youngest to
hold the honor. Subsequently he was
made captain general of Porto Rico.

If that cup Is not perfect half the day

ways to make splendid coffee.
One method Is to. have a tinsmith
make a cup of perforated tin about the
size of a coffee cup with a securely fit
ting cover Into which Is soldered a ring
by which It may be removed from the
pot before the coffee is served. Into this
cup put a small tablespoonful of pul

It stand all night in the coffee pot with
one cupful of cold water for each spoon
ful of coffee. In the morning place it
on the stove and let it come to a boll

the Summer Reaort.
Miss Emma Arnold, of St. Louis, Is
the heroine of the Eastern summer re
sorts. The story of how she kissed
Lieut, Hobson, of Merrlmac fame, has
been telegraphed all over the world and
now she dally receives scores of let
ters asking for her photograph or a lock
of hair. In New York they have a new
drink called "Hobson's Kiss" In honor
of the event Miss Arnold tells the
story thus:
'I did not ask Mr. Hobson for a kiss.
Ho had just kissed a little girl and I
said to him, 'How I wish I was a little
girl again!' He said, 'Would you like
to be treated as one?' I answered Yes,'
and he kissed me."
Miss Arnold is the daughter of a
wealthy St Louis man and is a belle In
society there. Miss Arnold made her
debut two years ugo at the big ball of
the Columbian Club, and her beauty
bedazzled all who were fortunate
enough to see It. Her face and figure
are simply perfection, and while every

The large plants for the utilization ol

nish 72,000 horse-power, with the pros
pect of an Increase to 150,000 horse
power, when all are completed. In ad
dition, there are a vast number of
smaller ones used In mines or in light
ing towns.
Switzerland comes next with 48,000.
France will have 18,000 when the plant
on the Rhone, near Geneva, is com
pleted. Germany and Italy have less
than 20,000 horse-power each. Norway
and Sweden each have about 15,000,
with possibilities of great development
England comes last with only 4,000
horse-power. Some 15,000 of the power
credited to America belongs to Canada,
a country which abounds In undevel
oped water powers.
These water powers are made to do '
all that coal can do, except raising a
smoke. A coal bed Is exhaustible, and
every ton taken from It brings It near
er Its end; but the energy of waterfalls
is Inexhaustible and will be available
for man's needs long after the last
pound of coal Is raised from the mine.
Not the least remarkable feature of
this new departure Is the size of the
turbines employed. One hundred horse
power used to be regarded as a large
amount to be given by a single wheel.
Some of the turbine at Niagara develop
fifty times as much. The next great
