YOUNG AMERICA AND THE NAVY, Two young lxys from Ohio who have invaded the PList with a proo sition to build a magnificant battle ship have Urn reviving considerable attention. As they have come with the full indorsement of President McKinley, it is not singular that they should receive this attention. Their object is a worthy one. They propose that the rising generation of boys and girls shall unite their pen nies and their small coins and build a vessel which will not only lx! a credit to our navy, but a floating monument to enthusiastic, patriotic and wule-nwake loung America. The older people are not appealed to. Men have given their yachts to the government, have expended their money to aid it, have equipped lot teries, and noble American women have nursed the sick and gone into the hospitals. They have shown their patriotism in many ways. This appeal is entirely directed tothechil dren. There is not a boy or girl in the country who can read who has not followed this war with the great cst of interest. . They have learned the difference lietwcen the free gov ernment and a corrupt control by Spanish ollicials. Their better na ture has been aroused. It has lieeii a lesson to them in humanity and government. "Wherever the Amer ican flag goes it carries enlighten ment with it. Against that flag no foe must prevail. Duty to country is next to duty to (tod. The American Way of Making War. From the London Dally chronicle. The war is practically at an end. The American lioats are soon to re sume their running to Southampton j the Spaniards evidently are only playing at not lieing in a hurry about the jK'aee terms. It lias l)een one ol the shortest wars on record. The President sent his ultimatum to Simin on April 20. The American Amlxissador to Spain received his jiassjwrts on the following day. This makes little over three months. In that time the Americans have de stroyed two fleets and, in fact, totally annihilated the sea power of their enemy. They have captured two great jort,s. They have defeated the Spanish troops in the field, and have taken a province and thousands of prisoners. Above all, they have improvised the army with which they did this part of the work. Not lwd for the interval between rent day and rent day ! The manner of this im provisation is the etriking vindica tion, in some ways, of the American Kystem. Most of the troop who Bwarmcd up the slopes at Santiago and captured intrenched jKsitious held by seasoned troops and Bwept by artillery were mere untrained butchers, liakers, and candlestick makers at the l)cginuing of the war. When they went into camp at Tampa they were the rawest of raw lianas. Many ol their officers M ere probably very little ln.-tter. Their commissariat was a practical joke. Transport, j medical service, all had to be created. The chief part of their equipment was weir spini as ireu uiui, . uicir sremTttl intelligence, their life-long habit of turning their hands and their brains to anything, and to master it at uncommonly short notice. In one word, they have nothing at their bacjt but the system : and their whole mil itary organization is based 'on the belief that, with this, they have the wherewithal for the ruggedest hour that time aud spite can bring against their country in time of danger. AMERICAN GENIUS. The suddenness of the war and the rapidity with which its opera tions have been carried on in foreign lands, has precluded the completion of complicated engines of destruction, but there have been needed many simple aud practical contrivances, such as devices suitable for use in landing troops, ammunition and war supplies, and for carrying on cam naign work in marshy country and tropical latitudes. It is interesting to note the ingenuity that has been displayed by American inventors in their efforts to meet thedemandf thus made upon them. Many of the neces sary inventions in this line have been suggested by army and navy offi cers, and many of the devices which have been broucrht into use in the Cuban camjmign have been manufact ured and shipped from Washington, notwithstanding the fact that Wash ington is not generally considered a manufacturing centre. Among the devices worthy of mention arc Port able Hospitals, Portable Breast works, and perhaps the most import ant are what are technically known as "Siege Gun Tanks" and "Pontoon Coupling." These Gun Tanks, which were used extensively by Gen. Shatter in landing his heavy siege guns ujKin the Cuban coast, consist of large hollow cyclindrical steel tanks, each 16 feet in length, and 3 feet in diameter. They are con structed in two parts, lieing divided longitudinally. The tanks are in tended for use solely in landing heavy cannon from transports anchor ed a considerable distance from shore. In use, the gun to be transiiorted is placed within the lower portion of the tank, the upper half of the cylinder is then putinto position and bolted fast, the joint between the sec tions being hermetically scaled in order to effectually prevent the in gress of water, and the device is thus made completely water-tight. It is of course necessary that the gun should lie secured in place in the tank so as to prevent it from being thrown from side to side, which movement would result in injury either to the gun orthecylinder con taining it. The cylinder containing the gun is thrown overlward from the ship and the air confined within the space surrounding the gun is sufficient to insure the buoyancy of the cylinder, and the cylinder while thus floating upon the surface of the water is readily towed to the shore by either a steam-lunch, a surf-boat, or should the conditions lie such as to render the use of a loat impos sible, a line from the shore is employ ed in pulling the cylinder to the beach. Upon reaching the shore, the cylinder is rolled to some suit able place upon the lieach, where, after the tank has lieeii ojened, the gun is placed by means of derricks upon thecarriages which are brought ashore in either pontoons or lighters. Practical use of these siege gun tanks has demonstrated the fact that the breech mechanism of the finely constructed steel siege guns, the de licacy of which requires the most careful of handling, is fully protect ed, and, alwolutaly safe from injury or damage resulting from bruising or form contact with salt water. Six of these gun tanks were sent to Santiago where they proved a perfect success. G tins having a maxi mum weight of three tons were easily transported to the shore by their use. Six additional tanks have just been forwarded to Porto Rico to be used by the landing parties upon that is land. The "Pontoon Couplings" consist of gigantic hinges constructed of finely rolled steel. These hinges are aljout IC feet in length and have a sweep of about 2 J leet. The pon toons used for landing puqioses are constructed somewhat like the com mon largc or lighters, which are used in our river harbors. On the edge of the deck of one ef these lighters the hinge is securely fixed in such a manner that the overhanging half of the hinge when not in use may be folded back out of the M'ay. On the secoud pontoon area number of steel plates with holes in the Centre. When it is desired to couple the two pontoons together the un fastened edge of the hinge is swung' over and bolted by coupling pins to the adjacent barge. Tbe hinge has a double swing, and in this manner the motion given the pontoon by the waves is minimum. A long series of pontoons thus coupled are pert mitted to swing tip and down to- either, the coupling holding. , then firmly and thus the pitching about, as would be the case of a single pou toon or boat upon the sea, is en tirely avoided, and a comparatively steady bridge or platform provid ed. One hundred of these pontoon. couplings have been sent to Santiago and a large number . are awaiting shipment to Porto Rico. Snyder County in the Spanish American War. In the records of the Adjutant General s department of lennsyl vania, Snyder County has not credit for a single volunteer in the Span ish-American army. Snyder County has not sent out a company and hence has credit for nothing, while at the same time she lias quite a numl)er of her loyal sons in the ser vice. We do not think that we can name all of these, but we shall name all that we can recall and trust our friends will send in the names of those we do not have in the list given be low : " Hume, Address.

M., I'h. D., Principal. The Home Paper. Said an eminent divine : Your home jKiper tells you when to go to church, to county court and prolwte court and when to send your children to school. It tells you who is mar ried and who is deau', who is sick, who is lxjrn, and many other things you would like to know. It calls attention to the public enterprises and advocates the liest of schools and laws in town. It records the mar riage of your daughter, the death of your son and the illness of your wife lree of charge. It sets forth the ad vantages and attractions of your town and invites immigration, and the first to welcome new comers. Yet in spite of nil these numerous other liencfits, some people say home papers are not half as good as city, jmjK'rs, that they have no interest in their business or success. The home papers are like the home. church too often neglected by those who are benefitted the most - Sustained the Appeal. In the Centre county court a de cision has been handed down in the case of the overseers of Walker town ship, vs. the overseers of Porter town ship, that county. This was a case where a person by the name of Frank Toner, who had resided in Lamar township for a long time, had re moved into Walker township to get work. Some of the citizens of that township had an order of removel taken out, and when theoverseers of the poor visited Toner, they found he was not in need of any assistance from the poor board and that he was earning a good living for himself and family. The court sustained the appeal and quashed the order of re moval and put the costs on Walker township. . &hweffelbrenner Letter. Prom Mauch Chunk Democrat.

A neighlwring county has a young man, who by pulling a string while lying in bed starts the kitchen fire and takes another snooze while the tea kettle is nearing the boiling ioint. At night he put the shav ings and wood in the fire pot and lias in front of it a plate of steel through which protrudes a Parlor match. Next to this is a flat file With a string attached, which runs to his bed up stairs. Pulling the string draws the file over the head of the match wliich ignites the shavings and sets tilings going without one's getting out of bed. ; PAXIUNYILLS.
