During tho 132 yearn of Hip eNlftewo of the nation tho commodores, captain end other ufllccrs of tho nuvy liavo made a magnMcent contrlhullon of pa trlotlc phrases to lltonitutc. As tho terse embodiment of popular sentiment In trying situations and emergencies, they nre not rurpassed by expressions of a like character In any language. Tho fiea flshters started In this lino nt tho very beginning of tho Itovolu tlon, In fact, before that tremendous struggle with tho mother country was begun. Captain Whipple, of Provi dence, n. I., for Instance, whin notified In 1775 by '-Mr Jaints Wallace of tho Itrltlsh fiigate Hose that ho would bo strung up at tho yardann for having burned his majesty's ship Oaspee, sent tho laconic reply to Sir James: "Always catch n man beforo you hang him The lion-hearted Whipple, who, In the preceding war with France In his pri vateer Gamecock captured in a. slnglo year twenty-three French prizes, voic ed In that delimit answer tho sentl- y ments of all the rebels In the colonies mat cateinng tnem was an essential preliminary to tho hanging business. JOHN PAUL JONES. Who first raised tho American flag on a ship of war Is one of the disputed questions of history. John Adams claimed the honor for Captain John Manly, n New Knglandcr. Paul Jones asserted that "my hand first hoisted the American Hag." Ho was then a lieutenant on the frigate Alfred. There were several American Hags at tho time and Paul Jones does not describe his particular one. Some historians think It was the pine tree and rattlesnake Hag with th motto, "An appeal to Ood; don't tread on me." Others as sert that It was a flag conslslng of thir teen stripes, with the motto. "Don't tread on me," and a rattlesnake stretched diagonally across them. "I have ii3t yet begun to light," was one of Paul Jones's famous replies to a British captain with whom he had been fiercely engaged for over nn hour and who desired to know If he had surrend ered It was not Paul Jones who sur rendered when tho battlo enmc to an end. That was the celebrated engitg" ment between the Sorapis and the llon hnmmo P.lchard. Tho captain of the Sernpls having hcen knighted for his gallantry on that occasion by Ceorgo III-, Paul Jones, when ho heard of the promotion, characteristically remark ed: "Never mind; If I meet him again I'll make a lord of him." rOJUIODOKU HAimY. The first commodore of the young American navy was Captain John Parry. In the spring of 17S1 ho was hailed bv a Prltlsh ship on his way from Havana. To tho Inquiry as to his identity, ho replied: "The United States ship Alliance, Saucy Jack Harry, half Irishman, half Yankee. Who nre you?" "Not the value nor tho command of the whole Prltlsh lleet could tempt me from the American cause," was the reply of Parry to Lord Howe, in 177C, when the latter offered lilin 15,000 guineas and a commission In tho Eng lish navy to join the royal cause. Kqually patriotic was the reply of the captive American sallor.Nathan Collin, when nsked to enter the king's service: "Hang mo, If you will, to tho yard arm, but do not ask me to become a traitor to my country," STEPHEN DECATl'n. Stephen Decatur was one of the bravest men that ever walked the quar ter deck. His famous toast at a pub lic dinner In Norfolk, Va., In 1S1C, "Our country! In her Inteicourso with for eign nations may she always be In the right, but our country, right or wrong," would, if ho had never said or done anything else, have won him a place In the memory or his country men. The destruction by him of the frlgato Philadelphia in the harbor of Tripoli was declared by Lord Nelson to be "tho most bo. ' nd daring net of the nge." Decatur was as generous as ho was brave. "I rannot," said he to Captain Carden of the Macedonian, ns the lat ter offered to surrender his sword, "take the sVonl of a man who has so bravely defended his ship, hut I'll thank you for that hat." This was in tho 1S12 war. and tho reference to the hat was a reminder of a bet between the two oillcers. made previous to the breaking out of hos tilities, In regard to the fighting pow ers of their ships. At the first lire the Macedonian lost her mlzzenmnst. Hearing a sailor remark to one of his mates that "they had iado a brig of her." Decatur added: "Take good aim. my lads, nt the mainmast, and we'll make a sloop of her." To the hall of a squadron of Alger lne pirates, while cruising In the Medi terranean, of "Dove nndate?" (Where are you going?) Decatur from his lone ship answered back, "Dove mi place " (Where I please), and they let him go Toward the close of the Alg line war one of their cnptalns sought for delay In order to gain some advantage. "Not a minute," replied Deeutur.wlth To Clean Uncle Sam is using gun-powder. For every kind of cleaning about the house, use WasliliiRT Powder. It docs the work quickly, cheaply, thoroughly.

Toward tho close of the 1812 war, De catur, In command of tho President, was chased by a largo squadron, all of which, with one exception, tho Ktuly nilon, he outsailed. In tho emergency he conceived tho dnrlng design of cap turing that Ship beforo her sisters could como to her assistance, nnd, hav ing 'scuttled his own vessel which was Injured nt the time, sailing Into port on his anticipated prize. His speech to his crew on that occasion Is unique. "My lads," said he, "that ship Is coming up with us. As our own ship won't sail, we'll go on board of them, every limn and boy of us, and carry her Into Now York. All 1 nsk of you is to follow me. This Is a favorite ship of tho country. If we allow her to bo taken by the enemy, we shall bo de serted by our wives nnd sweethearts. "Whnt, lose such a ship as this for nothing? 'Twould break the heart of every pretty girl In New York." Tho President nt once hrnded for tho Endymlon, nnd tho engagement be gan. Dining the action Decntur -was wounded nnd tho Hndymlon dis mantled, llefore tho President had tlmo to repair damages the Tenedos and Pomona came up, nnd Decatur was forced to strike his Hag. LAWRENCE AND PEHUY. . "Don't give up the ship," tho dying words of Lawrence, tho heroic com mander of the Chesapeake, arc nmong the noblest ever uttered. The gallant Perry Hew that signal at his mnsthead In the memorable battle of Lake Erie, at tho glorious close of which he had the Inspiration to pen that famous dis patch, "Wo have met tho enemy and they nre ours." It was written on his stiff hat In lieu of a table, on tho half of an old letter, and the additional In formation In It gave the size and num ber of the enemy, namely, "two ships, two brigs, one schooner, and one sloop." Perry was a hero In peace ns well as In war. During a winter storm, while lying In the harbor of Newport, ho heard that a merchant vessel had been driven on a reef six miles distant. Ho at once manned bis barge and said to tho crew: "Come, my boys, we arc going to tho relief of shipwrecked seamen. Pull away." That act was applauded by the coun try almost as much ns was the battle on Lake Erie. During tho Mexican war General Scott requested tho loan of some guns from the lleet, to bo used on shore. Perry complied, but on one condition, that 'wherever the guns go tho oillcers and men must go also." COMMODOHE POUTER. Commodore Porter, father of Admiral Porter happily phrabcd tho sentiment of the country In the motto which ho Slew on hir. Hag in t'.e war of 1S12, "Preo trade and sailors' rights." In those daJM It became tho text for many a patriotic song and thousands of poli tical speeches. A liiitlsli captain, meeting Porter, flung out an answering signal to this ffe -t: "God nnd the i oun try, liiitlsli sallois' best rights, Trait ors olfend both." The belief ill Eng land at the time m that the crews of tho American ships were all Prltlsh dcserteis. Porter mwwi-iol his enemy next day with a fresh signal Hag, "God, our countiy, and liberty. Tyrants ol fend tin in." When the Constitution, under com mand of Commodore Hull, engaged the French frigate Guerriero, a dra matic seen" was witnehsed on the deck of Old lronsldiH. As the Frenchman's guns began to thunder out. Lieutenant Morris, second in command, asked Hull If ho should give the order to fire. "Not yet," replied Hull. Nearer and nearer oa'ne tho two ships. Again Morris nsked for the ir der, and ngaln tho answer, "Not yet." A few minutes later, high above the roar of the guns, ns the Constitution completely covered her enemy, IlullYi voice rang out: "Now boys, pour It Into them." The Guenlerro was HtPivl'v lorn to pieces, "the blood of tho killed running out of her scuppers," says a navul his torian. 1TEHLE. The dashing Preble, during a cruise In the Mediterranean, ran across an il her ship. It was night, and ho could get mreply to his hall. Tlila colloquy followed: Preble I now hall you for the last time; If you don't answer I'll fire a shot Into you. Stranger If you do I'll return a broadside. Preble I should Hki to cnteh you at that.

Expla nations followed In the morning, when tho liiitlsli ship proved to bo not the formidable Donegnl, but tho U2-gun frigate Maidstone. Commodore Mncdonough sighted the enemy on Lake Chnmplaln on n Sun day morning. He ran up the signal for divlno service, and, kneeling on the deck nmong his men, offered appropri ate prayers. Dining the engagement a Prltlsh shot struck the hencoop on tho Saratoga, anil released tho game cock, which Hew Into the rigging and crowed lustily all through the fight, the men loudly cheering. Maedonough's victory aroused tho enthusiasm of tho nation. SAM HOUSTON.

Tho cat Her pmt of It was passed in Jerusalem In tlie tem ple, whero llo was engaged In teaching, u portion of olio of His discourses forming our lesson for the bth Inst. Leaving tho tcmplo Ho predicted Its overthrow. llo 1 1 ring to tho Mount of Olives Ho ex plained several matters to Ills disciples and exhorted thorn to watchfulness, about which wo studied last Sunday. Afterward, tho holy city still In view, as the evening shades coming on, Ho uuljld ed to Ills followers tho scenes of the Judgment Day about which wo are now to study. It is a singular tact that wo are Indebted to Matthew alono for what Jesus said on that occasion, tho other threo historians having passed by the oc currence In profound silence. This fact has caused some to Infer, without good reason, tlint, as Matthew wrote his Gos pel for Jewish Christians, tho Judgment hero described referred only to the de struction of that nation. Tho error will readily -appear as wo exiimlno tho nar rntlvo and see that a wider application alono makes It intelligible. ASSKMU1.Y. All nations shall be gath ered before Jesus (verso 32). It does not say that this shall bo at one time, al though the general Hue of thought would so indicate, indeed, any other inference will embarrass the narrative. This, there fore gives llnullty to tho wholo account, places It at a distant future time, when human history will bo complete, for In no other way would such assembly be possible (Itev. xx, 12). Tho place of this assemblage Is not stated, but It is pre sumed to bo on tho earth, for It will bo at tho coming of the Son of man (verso 51). That cumlng. which will be In great glory, was anticipated by tho prophet (Kech xlv, C), nnd frequently mentioned by tho apostles (I Thes. lv, 10), as an event of utmost Importance (Kov. i, 7). This nss-embly will be for judgment (itev. xlv. 10), for that Is the purpose of Christ's stcond coming (II Cor. v, 10), when evn thoso of other dispensations shall bo Judged (Judo n). Wo nro then to picture to our minds a vast cot courso of people, gathered out of all lands, summoned be fore our Lord, for the purposo of answer ing for tho deeds of this llfo. llo who once came to save will then sit to Judge. SEPARATION. Throughout this llfo men mingle on terms of Intimacy without regard to character (Matt, xlll, GO). Thty contract alllanrei of various kinds, so cial, domestic and political, and form so cieties regardless of their relation to (Jod and ills cause. Hut In tho great day of Judgment mankind will bo divided into two well-dillned classes (Ezek. xxlv, 17). This desurlptlt n cannot bo reconciled with tho thought that the other world will bo one simply of development, into which all men will enter nt the stage of progress reached here, to pass by a pro cess of education Into the next higher clat-s. There are but two classes, though tin re may be grades of character and condition In inch. And thero will be a separation between these classes (verses Si and XI), the one being placed on the light hand, the other on the left hand (Ileb. I, ID. These classes will bear dif ferent names, styled hero tho sheep and tho goats. Thus two communities will bo formed, tho righteous and tho wicked. All this will be done In tho presence or nssmblcd Intelligences of all tho ages. INVITATION.-The separation being completed. Christ, as Judge, will give tho sentence, fixing tho destiny of the two classes (verses 31 to Sfi). Thoso on the right hand will bo Invited to Him, and will be with Htm (John xvll, 21), as members of tho kingdom prepared for thorn from the foundation of thr world (Horn, vili, 17). an Inheritance.

There ho was surrounded by n greatly superior force under the Mexican dic tator, Santa Anna. On tho morning of March C, 1830. tho little garrison of the Alamo capitulated on tho plodgo of the Mexican general that their lives would bo spared. Not withstanding this pledge, Colonel Tra vis and his entire force wore massacred ns soon as they hail surrendered. Their dead bodies wero gathered together, a huge pile of wood was heaped upon them, and they were burned to ashes. This act of barbarity stirred the Tex ans to Intense wrath, and implanted in their breasts a fierce thirst for venge ance. On Apt 11 1!. IS?.", General Hous ton, with about "no men, gavo battle at San Jacinto to Santa Anna, with near ly three times the number of Mexicans, nnd In splto of the disparity of numbers Houston's little force swept the Mexi cans like chuff beforo the wind. It was more a slaughter than a battle. Just before thjunssault of tho Texuns was ipade.onrio army of Santa Anna, Hous ton addressed his soldiers In a fervid speech, closing with these words: "He member the Alnmo." These words fell upon the ears of the Texuns with won derful effect. Hvery soldier in tho lit tle army at 'the same instant repeated tho words "The Alamo" until the words became a cry for revenge that struck terror to the souU of the Mexicans. "M hen the battle was over It was found thi't only seventy Texans had been killed, whllo G20 Mexicans wero left dead on the Held. Tho answer of Commodore Stockton to tho Mexican governor of California when we took possession of that coun try la worth recalling. "If you inarch upon tho town (Los Angeles)," threatened the governor, "you will find It the grave of your men." "Tell the governor," said Stockton, "to havo tho bells ready to toll at 8 o'clock In the morning. I shall be there at that time." Commodore Tatnnll'H "Hlood la thick er than water" won grateful recogni tion In England In ISM. Seeing tho Prltlsh ndmlrr.l, Sir James Hope, In a tight place under tho Hre of Chinese forts. Tntnnll gallantly went to his rescue. In so doing he was guilty of a breach of neutrality, but his answer, "Wood Is thicker than water," had the effect of condoning his offence.

Hero Is nn Intimation that from tho be ginning of human history it was de termined to cstubllih at tho end of tho dispensations a company or congregation of thu Lord (Hob. 11, 10). The reason for that Invitation is given In two particu lars, both descriptive of the persons ad dressed. They had been blessed of tho Father they had received Ills spirit (Onl. lv, C), making them children. As thu result of the spirit's Inlluenco they haU wrought good deeds which tho Judge ichcarsed. They had furnished lllm with food, drink, clothing, and companionship In trouble. Hero are the two elements of a true Chrlstlon life, accepted at tho Judgment, neither of which Is valuable or even posslblo without tho other, an In tirlor, regenerating Inlluenco, tho bless ing of God (Phil. 11, 13), nnd tho fruitage, tho outward result In conduct (.Matt, xll, 33), praiseworthy and beautiful. EXl'I.ANATION.-Thc text represents (verses 37 to 30) that thoso thus addressed wero surprised, not because of the Invi tation (that they must havo expected), but because of its terms. They could not remember any occasion when that had rendered such service to Jesus, and with one volco they enquire when It oc curred. The question was a further indi cation of their character, as revealing an unwillingness to accept praise to which they were entitled, a mark of becoming humility, or, it may be, that they expect ed somo further dlselosuro ot Divlno Jus tiro and wisdom. Inasmuch ns this Is tho tlmo of closing up accounts, and an nouncing the final decisions, It was nat ural that they should do.iro to under stand tho method nnd basis of reckoning. Tho explanation was quickly given (verso 10). What they had dono to the follow ers of Jesus was accounted as dono to lllm (rrov. xlv, 31). Tho principle is clse whero stated (Mark. Ix, 41), and was-announced at the conversion of Paul (Acts lx, 4), and mado tho basis of final ad judication (Ileb. vl, 10). It was worth whllo to bring oirt this principle nt the Judgment day, to set forth tho unity of tho peoplo of God and their oneness with lllm (John xvll, 21). REJECTION. This explanation ap pears to have satisfied the millions of the rlKhteous. and tho Judgo turns to tliuso en tho left hand. One word fixes their doom, "Depart," spoken by ono who with Infinite tenderness once said, "Conic." Their destination Is announced, "into everlasting llro prepared for tho devil and his angels" (verso 41). Threo Items are here separation from Christ, in com pany with fcntan, in tho midst of tire. The first nnd second will occasion no question. He who lejccts Christ ought to bo rejected by lllm. He who follows Satan ought to be with him. Hut that word, everlasting lire, has shocked many. Let It represent a guilty conscience and all difficulty Is removed (Mark lx, 41). Whatever the meaning wo must remem ber that Jesus employed the term more than once (Matt. xlll. 42), nnd that John, the beloved, also used it (itev. xlx, 2U). The ground for rejection in this case 's the opposite of that which led to tho in vitation (verses 42 and 13). These who wero driven away lacked both the in ward ami outward conditions of accepta bility. They had not dono to tho king acts of charity and kindness, and they nro called cursed. That means, not only that a malediction listed upon them. "iut that they deserved such malediction (John III, IS). They were destitute rf Chrlst-llko character and henco of Christ llko conduct. INTERPRETATION. This sentence of the Judgo awakened even greater surprise than tho other. The rejected multitudes had no reason to hope for any welcomo or Invitation, aftr their separation and tho word spoken to tho others. Hut on what ground could such an accusation bo MKItCUHY FOll TI1K NAVY. Tho Stonm Yacht F.llido Cnn Itun 0ern Alllo in a Minute. From Brooklyn Citizen. Now that the speed with which a vessel can be driven through the water has become so important a factor in tho Intercepting of a hostile lleet, It Is not to be wondered at that public in terest should be centered In the swift marine beauty Klllde, which has been placed nt the disposal of the I'nlted States government by Its owner, E. Purgess Warren of Philadelphia. The Klllde Is at present being fitted out as a torpedo boat nnd dispatch courier. She Will be of tbe most vnllmblrt nnr. vice to the navy. She Is to he equip ped wun small rapid-tiring guns, her docks strengthened and tha handsome salruns gven up to the storage of am munition. The Kllido Is tho fastest steam yacht afloat. She lias actually travelled at tha rate of a mile In one minute and thirty-five seconds, nnd on occasions has even made better time than that. With this speed tho usefulness of the Klllde in war times can scarcely be overestimated. She could travel from Key West to Havana In less thnn two hours; could distance any hostile bhlp that lloats nnd sound an alarm along the coast hours ahead of tho nrrlval of a hostile ship that tho Klllde has sighted nt sea. She could show a clean pair of heels to a vessel to bo feared and overhaul any unarmed boat be longing to an enemy's marine, no mat ter how speedy tho craft unlucky enough to come In her way. Now, while you are thinking about the speed of the Klllde, take these facts Into consideration. Sho Is SO feet long and S feet 4 Inches deep. Her mean draft is 3 feet C inches. Hero is a point that Is not to be forgotten as well. Tho Ellide's planking is of that finest material for a boat, double-skin mahogany, sho Is a combination of the pleasure and tho second craft. Look at tho engine. It Is a quadruple ex pansion affair, with nine cylinders, Uxl3xlSx24 Inches by a 10-lnch stroke. The Ellldo's boiler Is water tubed In a polished brnss casing. There are two steam drum's, and conocted to gether by a great number of solid drawn steel tubes, so arranged that the gases pass twico the length of tho boiler nmong tho tubes beforo enter ing the stack, thus practlcnly absorb ing nil tho heat from tho gases of com bustion. A guest of the Kllldo's owner, who was on board nt tho tlmo she made her trial trip, thus describes her remark ublo speed: "The most curious fact of nil was that In splto of her tre mendous velocity she seemed to leave no wake, it was u remarkable fact to soo a boat cut through tho water at the rate of speed at which sho was moving nnd hardly disturb tho element nt all. Thero was actually no waves from her passago through tho water. "Those who wero aboard of her and sat by the open windows, well forward, occasionally got dashes of spray In tholr faces, but no solid water. It took far less tlmo to travel from tho start to the finish of tho test mllo than It takes to tell how It was done. Pe foro wo fuliiy realized wo had started Bustnlned7 To tho great matu llo was a mero historic character. How then could they havo rejected Him In poverty nnd trouble? (verse 41). Tho answer to their Inquiry was plnln, based upon tho same principle as tho previous answer (verso 40). Thoso had lolled to render kindly servlco to tho followers of Jesus, nnd that was taken ns a slight to Jesus Him self (Zcch. Ill, t). Her two great truths nro recognized first, tho unity of Christ and His people, brought out In tho other case; second, tho absence ot good deeds u proof of n bad heart, ns the presence of good deeds Is proof ot a good heart (Matt, vll, 10). It Is well to keep this second truth In mind. A neuatlvu man, ono who merely refrains from evil, Is not accepted. If thero Is any goodness In us It will como out In action (Jnmos II, 15-15). Tho peoplo of God all havo ono unfail ing mark (John xv. S), tho absence of which in any classifies them. FINALITY. Thero has been a disposi tion on tho part of many to tone down tho teaching of Christ up to this point and thrust In human speculation. Tho humanitarian spirit of the tlmo has led men to think that a good God could not thus separtne men nnd assign them to eternal punishment. That thero might bo.a temporary sentence they admit, but that in caso of repentanco In tho coming ages any might bo restored, they believe. Hunco wo. havo heard much of eternal hope ot restoration, and ot uitl mato salvation. Tho closing sen- tenco of tho lesson (verso 40) conveys to tho Imbllsn reader, the Idea of finality. Tho great body of the church has so ur.di rstood It ns declaring that tho awards of tho Judgment, ns al ready described, will never bo reversed, tho one class going away Into punish ment, tho other clnss Into life. To avoid this evident sense somo expositors call at tention to the fact that tho Greek word translated everlasting Is sometimes used to denote only a period of time. This Is not denied by uny one. Hut on tho other hand It Us tho samo word that Is applied to punishment of tho wicked nnd the ro wan! of tho righteous. If, therefore, It has a limited sense In ono case, so must It havo In tho other, and tho lorco ot tho verso Is destroyed. ItKFLKCTIONS. It Is generally be lieved that tho righteous enter upon their reward at death. Jesus promised that tho thief on tho cross should meet lllm In Paradlso (Luke xvlll, 43), and in tho para ble of tho rich man and Lazarus tho lat ter Is represented ns passing directly Into Abrahams bosom (Luke xvl, 23). Paul desired to depart and bo with Christ (Phil. I. 23). Hut. If men nro Judged nt death why should thero bo a general judgment? Tho first Judgment Is per sonal, fixing tho destiny of Individual. The last judetnent Is admlnlstratlonal, declaring tho principles )f government and tho method and spirit ot tU Divine estimate of men. At a tlmo yeit distant, when the course of human history Is run, when tho last of tho posterity of Adam shall havo been born, when tho existing order of things Is to bo closed and a new order opened then, tho Hodeomor, who was also the Creator (John l, 3), will sit in judgment nnd will explain who nre worthy and who nro unworthy. And tills will bo published ns tho measure of tho Ideal man ono whoso Inward life, be gotten by tho Spirit of God, produces an outward llfo of good deeds, llo who Is destltuo of such a life Is cursed and lost. That will bo tho final utterance trom tho throno of tho universe, tho Supremo giv ing verdict upon humanity. Honor and station, pleasure nnd pride, learning nnd wealth, and tho thousand other distinc tions of this mortal life, will be forgot tc. Tho ono emphatic word, the lesson of "tho centuries of earth, the watch word of the cycles ot eternity will be RIGHTEOUSNESS. tho test was over, and tho record had been broken. I nm firmly convinced that but for ono thing the Ellldo would have beaten a minute nnd thirty seconds. Tho incident that brought this nbout was the misunderstanding by the engineer of Pilot Packard's or ders, which wero transmitted to him by means of bell pulls. His error lay In stopping tho boat beforo she had fin ished tho mile, and she wont the last one hundred yards of the courso simply by means of the momentum gained through her previous speed." A mile in a minute nnd thirty-five ("eclinds doe Hot seem remnrkable until It Is figured out what that means by the hour. In this Instance It means 3S miles, and Is the swiftest time ever made by any craft afloat. SHIP'S ItANCi: IN ACTION. At Two .Miles Tremendotii Damage Will llo Dono. From the Washington Star. "Tho pictures In 6omo of tho burnt ornngo newspapers of battleships in action are about as funny us the Jap anese idea of perspective," said a na val officer. "Thoso pictures represent the opposing ships blazing away at each other with thlrteen-lnch rllles at a range of about 100 feet, and tho art ists certainly work up the thing to mako It look terrific enough, in nil conscience. It's a wonder to mo that they don't represent tho crews of the opposing ships In tho net of using grap pling Irons, as they did In engagements at close quarters In tho dayw of tho old seventy-gun frlgntes. As a matter of fact, If either battleship In nn engage ment between vessels of today goes within such a tango of another, or anything like It, It would simply bo a matter of the first shot. Ono big shell delivered nt such a range would leave only the debrla of the struck ship lloat Ing on tho surface of the water. "Modern ships of war nre not demised to get within any such range of' each other in notion. Tho nearest that any of tho opposing ships In tho great na val battle on tho Yalu got to each other was a trltle under two miles, and what ono battleship can do to another at that range Is something beyond calculation. Tho naval engagement of this era Is very largely a matter of manoeuvring of presenting tho smallest posslblo target to tho guns of tho enemy's ships, and of forcing tho enemy to present their biggest hull to the rangeflnders. When tho commander of a ship In tho coming engagements can contrlvo to get In his work on tho enemy's ves sel whllo only pointing with his nose In their direction leaving them prncti cally only a razor's edge target he in llablo to eat them up.
