The Times-Dispatch assorts positively that "the confederates were the first to use torpedoes as an effective enginery of warfare," and that Maury, who, by the way, forgot his oath of al legiance to the United States, was one of the most I conspicuous contributors to their xise. So it seems the introduction of torpedoes is to be laid to Americans, after all. But it also seems they I did not do the original inventors much good. stance, one cargo of colonists comprised a score of "gentlemen" and several hundred laboring men and handicraftsmen. It is true that historians have added a descriptive word to the selected class and called them "gentlemen adventurers," but the idea of su periority still endures; and in this age of genealogical BOUNDARIES OP THE UNITED STATES, A publication that finds a logical place in the library of both the historian and the geographer is a bulletin (No. 226) entitled" Boundaries of the United States and of the Several States and Terri tories, with an Outline of the History of all Import' . i ant Changes of Territory," which has just been pub lished by the United States geological survey for gratuitous distribution. The author is Mr. Henry Gannett, who prepared this paper in its first form in 1885, when it was published as bulleting No. 13. A THE MODERN GENTLEMAN.

This wonderful republic will not go into the hands of a receiver until the stars grow cold Eather have we given to the word a better signifi cance. We can even surmise that there were more real gentlemen among the handicraftsmen than among the favored 20 who alone bore the appellation. Cer tainly, history has shown who became the freemen andrwho did the great work of liberty and nation tuilding. After all, there is really no new idea of the gentle man, It is as ancient as the hills. "Though all the honors of thy line bedeck thy halls, believe me.vvirtue !?.

Before Speaking of the use of torpedoes in warfare,"a the thorough use of antiseptics so bold an experiment New York morning paper says they were proposed w hardly have been thought of, but in this cen but not developed in the revolutionary war, and that tury surgery has gone forward with giant strides, only in two or three instances were they successfully ana in desperate cases in present conditions radical nsed m the civil war. To this the Richmond Times- measurcs oi me exiremesi type nave proved ire. Dispatch takes exception, as concerns the last clause, quently to be successful, and refers to a paper contributed to its columns by Colonel Richard L. Maury, son of Commodore Maury, well known as a marine geographer and sometimes al luded to as "The Pathfinder of the Sea," in imitation f John Charles Fremont's title, "The Pathfinder," Colonel Maury maEes the claim that his father did a "wonderful work "in developing the torpedo, and that he "laid the foundations upon which the pres ent torpedo service of the world has been built." He claims that more than 40 Federal vessels were de stroyed by confederate torpedoes, and the Times Dispatch gives a brief account of the destruction of ne of these, called "the Commodore Jones," and what happened as a consequence. Says the Rich mond paper: y' "This vessel was sailing up James river unsus picious of danger, but when near Deep Bottom a torpedo was exploded under it and it was completely destroyed. There were other federal vessels near by, and these landed a force on the shore and captured the confederates who were in charge of the torpedo lattery there. All of the men captured were killed ;' they were run down and bayonetted. " ! ' . ' .

Th laurels that Stanley won were earned by his own strength and en deavor. He gave trade and clvlllia tlon a new Impetus. 1 He did more to chaneg the may of Africa and to give the face of the world a new expres sion than any other man since Wash ington. In the empty title that he ac cepted from the British government Is to be found the only substitution of shadow for substance In his career. The hollowness and claptrap of knight hood, supposed, by worshipers of rank and privilege, to distinguish the great from the little, add nothing to honors won In the most difficult field of en deavor. The glory that he gained from the Jungles, fields, and streams of an unexplored and almost Impenetrable country was embellished with no new luster by the "sir" which he permit ted British aristocracy to place before his name. He was a member of the nobility of character and achievement, and as such he needed no tile. He was broad-minded and ingenuous. He en tertained no Illusions regarding the re lative positions of men. He was suf ficiently democratic not to hide the story of his humble origin, and fre quently visited the poorhouse, where his Interesting history begins. He knew from many bitter experiences that It Is not what a man Is born unto but what he makes of himself that brings rank. Posterity will forget Stanley, the knight, but the future world of commerce, art. Industry and Independ ence will never forget Stanley, the ex plorer.
