He tells the romantic story of : how he found the vessel at last. "In less thau an hour my search was rewardad by seeing the according galls, is the curse of the country. The law is plenty strong enough, but its human agents are too weak and cowardly.

Examining these closely, no doubt was lett in my mind but that they belonged to a lfl.rfTA vessel, and I .ordered r ' . ' the boatman to let fall the anchor. "The lead gave us two ana a half and three fathoms. Hastily undressing, we dived several times. Mr. Kiley nrst succeeded buoying the spot by going down with the line and slipping it over one of the ribs. While on the bottom I carefully examined the timbers. They were honeycomb ed in certain parts in a peculiar way. The continual sea wash of a century seemed to have made its inroads at the softest places, and they gave every appearance in form of partially burned stumps. The wood seemed al most as hard as iron. -Muck of it was inclosed in a fossil crust, and only by repeated efforts I succeed ed in breaking off a piece. The many winds from the desert and the shifting shoals of sand had filled in and around the frigate, and her keel must have lain buried nearly two fathoms deeper than than the present sea bottom. The freshening breeze made further investigation impossible ; so, after taking bearings - and leaving the spot buoyed, we returned to the shore, landing amid an awaiting cu'rious crowd of Turks, Arabs and blacks. "Six days later, through the courtesy and interest of the offi cers of the Greek warships Crete and Paralos, a ship's cutter and machine boat with divers were placed at my disposal." Har per's Magazine. This state of things, which is al most unknown abroad, i$ so wide spread as to be almost Juniyersal in America, and it especially ob tains in the large cities.

Weak and Cowardly Officers the Curse of s the Country. The open and bold attempt of the beef trust to bring pressure to Thirteen Hits Out-of Thirteen Shots. Thirteen hits out of thirteen shots in' one miuute with a five inch gun at "a 17x21-foot target, 1,600 yards, or almost a mile, dis tant, is the marvelous record breaking performance of one of the gunners, on the battleship Kentucky in the practice manoeu vers off Sandy Hook of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans' fleet. That the wonderful shooting was not merely luck on the part of the gunner is shown by the fact that another gunner made thirteen hits out of fourteen shots. A trifle over four seconds for each shot was the time limit on all of the shooting. To one not familiar with the difficulties of rapid firing with big rifles it is impossible to give an edquate idea of what this means, but even the layman can understand it from the utterance of "Fighting Bob" himself on Saturday. He said : "If we had been firing at an enemy there wouldn't have been any enemy left in a half-hour." The performannce has never been equalled in our own navy, nnd, so far as it is known, it is the best five-inch shooting ever accomplished in any navy in the world. The terrific execution of the Russians by the Japanese fleet was achieved through far lesB ac curate work. . The shooting record was not the only thing demolished by the fleet, by any means. The fleet accomplished some thing in wireless telegraphy that MORTGAGE SALE OF LAND.

Illus trations on a smaller scale, but us to which it can be put in time of need. While the was off Cape Cod, Mass., and the main fleet was just passing out of Newport News, a distance of 500 miles, communication was open- similar in kind, were recently ed UP and eighty words of mas given in Kansas City, where an automobile owner became greatly incensed because the citv attor ney proposed to prosecute him for not having taken out a license, when in fact he had done so after the warrant was issued and served on him. And another automo bilist pleaded as his excuse for violating the law that he had thought the law would not be en forced. Still another instance was furnished the other day by a saloon-keeper, a former police--: man, who in all seriousness op ." posed the enforcement of the law against saloons in the vicinity of the parks on the grounds that it - would cause him a pecuniary loss. -Such instances might be multi plied without end, for the news papers teem with them, to evi dence the state of the popular mind on the subject and the laxi ty of public rspect for the law. Of course, in some cases the trou ble is that individuals, especially of a certain class, have come to imagine they are above and be yond the' law, which they consider sage were sent without the slight est, break. Admiral Evans then ordered the Maryland to give her latitude every hour to see how long the communication could be kept open. It was maintained until 225 miles was reached, and then the Sandy Hook station caused a break. In speaking of the shooting done by his fleet, Admiral Evans ad mitted that he was very proud of it and said that if navy regula tions did not make it impossible for him to speak freely he would tell something that would aston ish the country. He said the shooting was doue in a moderate sea and that if it had not been for several unaccountable things every one of the fifty-three shots fired would have taken effcct. 'I have been forty-four years with the navy," he said, and dur ing that time I have never been engaged in as successtul a series of manoeuvers as. the one just finished.
