tho party of bathers Into n deep
water hole, nnd.before tho undertow
mibalded, tho unfortunate young

struggling against It. There was
about twenty of tho party together,
among them being Will Steele, Nel

farther down tho beach than the
others, and was tho first to feel the
Irrealstablo pressure of tho undertow
as It swept him oil' his feet. He
shouted to those farther up and mo
tioned them to go to shore. They
all started, but tho tre.ichorous wave
almost Immediately overtook them
and lifted them oil their feet. Some
of tho young men wero further out
than tho ladles, and when the un
dortow caught them It swept the
luillc-t pist them. All wore very
much excited, aud Miss Boise fainted
In tho arms of her escort, Bon Lom

made herculean oll'orts to reach a
safe footing with her, and would un
doubtedly have succeeded had not a

neeelon was devoted almost entirely
to a discussion of the selection of a
place to hold tho next encampment.
After a long, heated debate, the
matter was settled on the first bal
lot by Washington securing a ma
jority of twenty-seven votes over
Lincoln.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted requesting congress to pass
a law authorizing tho Interstate
commerce commission to premit
railroads to give reduced rates to all
soldiers und Bailors of the war of '01
'lio attending national encamp
ment. A resolution vai unanimously
adopted limiting tho length of the
purade at all future encampments to
be two miles.
Tho location of the next encamp
ment having been settled, tho in

centered in tho election of a com-m.tuder-ln-chlef.
Captain John
Palmer, of Now York, A, G. Wels

leading candidates, aud it Is safe to
nav one of these will bo elected. A

a victory for Palmer, after several

Tho first and chief characterlstlo of n
battlo ship should bo IU ability to de
stroy it adversary, and this depends on
tho strength of IU armament. Tho
second should bo its ability to prevent
being destroyed, nnd tlds depends
on tho strength of the armor with
which Its hull and battery are pro
tected. The third feature should bo Ita
speed, and the fourth Its coal endur
ance. Theso last aro necessarily subor
dinate features. Acting near tho baso
of supplies, it would bo useless to load
tho bunkers of our ships with 900 tons
of coal, tho usual allowance to English
battlo ships of a similar sizo.
Wo think it better to take COO tons
from coal and put It Into armor and
armament. A further saving of weight
lies in oar moderate freeboard. Steer
ing a middlo course between tho low
hulls of the original monitors and tho
towering proportions which have been
attained by an extravagant reaction
from that system, resembling tho great
four-story structures of thrco centuries
ago, wo havo placed our 13-Inch guns
eighteen feet abovo tho water lino, to
enable our ships to fight bows on In al
most any sea, while abovo them nro the
8-Inch guns, twenty-fivo feet from tho
water, which could bo fought in a hurri
cane. Economizing weights in theso two re
spects has enabled our constructors to
give to our battlo ships a battery more
powerful and more efficient than that
of any ship yet designed ornlloat. That
wo have succeeded In this respect is
not denied by any of our critics, whllo
at tho same time wo havo thickness
nnd strength of armor, giving tho ships
defenslvo power substantially as great
as that of tho royal sovereign class,

The Safe's Worst Enemy.
Some months ago correspondence
was carried on by experts as to whether
it was possible to open n safe by the
aid of a blowpipe, using compressed
oxygen. A man calling himself "Mr.
Grant," of Antwerp, registered at a ho
tel in Hanover, tho lower floor of which
was occupied by tho Bank of Saxony.
Ho was accommodated with a room over
head. One fine morning "Mr. Grant"
disappeared, and it was discovered that
ho had penetrated Into tho bank offices
by breaking up tho floor and descend
ing by a ropo ladder.
After having attached an India rub
ber tube to ono of tho gas Jets ho blow
a current of oxygen with It from a re
tort brought with him, using tho blow
pipe, and succeeded in molting an
opening through tho door of that great
steel safe used by tho bank for holding
smaller ones. lie was In the act of
operating on tho smaller Inner safe
when he must havo been disturbed, for
ho decamped. Tho safe contained some
250,000 In gold and notes, besides se
curities. The heat caused by such n
llamo will melt any metal; even tho
hardest platinum cannot stand it. It
Is too evident that owners of safes
whore valuables aro stored need to bo
cautious about their neighbors' tenants.

Wonderful Intefllconoo of Birds.
Dr. C. C. Abbott says that in experi
menting on tho intelligence of birds ho
placed a number of pieces of woolen
yarn red, yellow, green, purplo and
gray In color near a treo In which Bal
timore orioles wero building their nest.
Tho pieces of yarn wero all exactly alike
except in color. There was an equal
number of threads of each color, tho
red and yellow being purposely placed
on top. Tho birds chose only tho duller
colors, taking all of tho gray and a few
threads of tho purplo when the nest
was nearly dono. Not a singlo thread
of tho yellow or bright red was touched,
tho birds seeming to instinctively know
that such loud colors would make their
domicile too conspicuous.
Again ho experimented by girdling
tho branches upon which nests wero
located, causing tho leavps to shrivel
and blow away. Although they had
laid their eggs, the birds invariably loft
their nests. If tho nests contained
young when tho leaves dried up, not
wltlistanding the oxposure, thoy would
feed tho littlo ones until they were able
to toko care of themselves. St Louis

and sentenced to tho Dry Tortugas.

judgo, you go right down to tho Capi
tol and get congress to pass an act au
thorizing a prlvato soldier to knock
down his captain. Then come back
hero tuul I will pardon yourman." Tho
Judgo says that thero was such an air of
