It la difficult for any atay-at-home civilian to picture to hlmaelf the reality of warfare. Here, however, la a word picture of a modern battle ao vivid that any reader can Imagine himself in the narrator's place. It Is from the diary of a German officer, printed In the Weacr Zeutung, and describes a day's lighting In the Belgian campaign: "We hear that our baggage has been attacked. Ope company tnrnB back. Now the village has been burned down; all the people shot. 1 Wo turn off behind a wood. Four regiments lay down their knapeacks and "iron rations" are. taken out. We form In ranks for the charge. "Shells whlx past, but without elm. We gallop past our own artillery, stuck holplessly iu the mud up to the stomach. Now we are directly In front of the firing line of the forcts. There Is wild clamoring. Friend and enemy look alike. *T am lying before a barricade of trees and barbed wire, with my comrade, Lieut. G.. on my right and the captain on my left. Shells explode all around. Everywhere la the infernal noise of musketry fire. The air is hot. A few yards ahead is better cover. I nudge Lieut. G. and ask, 'Shall we go forward?" No answer?he is dead. "The captain jumps to his feet and falls back. Jle Is shot In the breast. I raise my arm, my company responds to my command. 1 rush forward. A terriblo blow throws me back three feet. I have received a shell in the left thigh. The pain Is terrible. Before me an officer calls out my name, holds out his hand, and then falls back?dead.-"" In front of me there is a flag, and I try to crawl up to it. The bearer is dead. "A second shot strikes me in the left arm, a third In the right arm. 1 bite the earth with pain. Our men advance. I lie in one place twelve hours. A doctor comes with bandages. 1 am carried away. Shivering with fever, I meet our regiment. Its losses are terrible/ I am taken to a Held hospital. There aro others who have to suffer even greater pain than 1; that makes me keep quiet. ^ "I have lost everything. The clothes I wore were so soaked with blood that they wero burned. A Russian brought me some underwear, and a sympathetic little woman is washing and mendine a uniform for me." That Is war. That soldier Is one of 15,000,000 now engaged in the same line of business?suffering agony, and Inflicting agony . |on others. And yet men march gaily forth to war, and prate of Its glories" and "triumphs." A KIND WORD FOR THR COMMERCK COMMISSION. It used to be the proper thing to praise the Interstate Commerce Commission. That non-partisan body had assumed a function new in our government?the federal supervision of transportation?and was credited generally with having brought its department, within a few years, to a place of Important and h^nor Inviting comparison with the supreme court of the United Slates. Lately there has deevlopcd a tendency to "lyiock" the commission. Its work Is belittled and its efficiency questioned. This Is unfortunate and unfair. The commission Is probably Just as strong as it ever was, and certainly Just as industrious and conscientious. Indeed, the recent fir's df criticism has been due to an excess of these'very virtues. The members worked so hard and so long te determine Just what rates the * railroads were entitled to, that bust- j pea? languished while the country ' waited for a decision. f J With" the foundation work of rate-. . flxlngjthoroughly done.

Philadelphia.?Just a little mors than one hundred years ago the steam navy of the United States had 1U mar terial beginning. On that day, June SO, 1814, for the same reason, the steam navies of the entire world had their origin. Such la our debt to the mechanical genius of Robert Fulton, who planned,4uad built the epoch-making craft, tvrrfesqologos, a writer In tho Philadelphia* InVfclrer says. Of course, as all of \u know, steam navigation was not a novelty In 1814, but the vessels so propelled were craft of peace and limited their routes tc the protected waters of rivers. Fulton's jpemologos was designed tojwlthstand the heaviest blows that tho biggest fighting ship afloat could bring tc bear, and, at the^same time, the craft | was to navigate the open sea without | drawing her motive power from the free winds o? the heavens. Remember, I we were the'n in the throes of our war with England, and it was Fulton'i desire td build a ship that would be able to make our harbors unassailable while having ^he power to destroy svbole squadrons of the foe. Rather an amumouB scnemo, no doubt, but some thing that might have been proved en tlrely practicable had the Demologoa ever had a chance to measure her forces against those of the foe. Fulton's Floating Battery. Toward the close of 1813 Fulton laid before the president of the United States plans for a war steamer 01 floating b&ttery. Strange to say, knowing how inventors are commonly treal, ed today. hiB extraordinary project was i favorably received, and in March oi the year following congress authorised the building and equipping of "one oi more floating batteries for the defense of the waters of the United States." Tho Dcmologos. or, as she waa afterward officially known, the Fulton, was | begun on the 20th of Juno, 1814, by ; tho laying of her keels at the shipyard of Adam & Noah Brown in the city" of New York. The craft had two keels because she really was given two hulls. Fulton used a single paddle wheel and he wanted to place this vital part of bis propulsive mechanism where it could not be reached by an enemy's cannon balls. Notwithstanding many difficulties due to the exiting war with Great Britain, the Fulton was launched on the 29th of October, 1814, and tho occasion we8 one of national rejoicing and much local ceremony. To the aver age eye the body of the craft appeared bulky and unwieldy, but no less an authority than Capt. David Porter said: "I would not alter her if it were in my power to do so." The Biggest Steamer Then Afloat. The Fulton had a length of 150 feet, a breadth of 56 feet and a tonnage of 2,475, and at that ttme was hundreds of tons bigger than tho largest steamer of the day afloat. Difficulty wpji c-t. Dizzy?

A goodly numbei of her cannon came from PhUaTlelphia and In'order to esoape possible cap lure by,British ships 20 of these wefcp .. ons wero transported overland upon the miry roads cf NewUersey.were dragged by hcrseb. Unfortunately, Fullon'a untimely ! death on the^24th of February, 1815. prevented him from seeing the com plctlon of the qhlp, and, too, his demise likewise delayed her finishing However, her engines were raadt ready by the last of June and by e happy coincidence she waa taken out (or a trlcl run on Independence day According to the old accounts, ' She made a trip to tho ocean eastward of Sandy Hcpk and back again, a distance of 53 miles, lb eight hours and twenty minutes, without the aid ot . sails, the wind and tide being partly favorable and partly against her. the i balance rather In her favor." Later, on the 11th of September, with - all of her guns on board and carrying a considerable quantity of ammunition, the Fulton made another trial trip, during which she fired off her cannon successfully and without the slightest injury to the craft or to her machinery^ It is said that her performance moro than equaled Fulton's expectations, and that she actually exceeded what he had promised the government?that Is, that Bfae should be able to make under steam from three to four miles an hour. Blew Up at Brooklyn Navy Yard. Inasmuch as the war with England had been ended, the Fulton had. no chance to show what she could do \p action, and the government authorities assigned her to the Brooklyn navy yard to serve as receiving ship for the station.

Cutest Thing In Creation Is Lightning"In u northern city/' writes a correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, a man told me that during a very violent thunderstorm all the windows of his club were thrown wide open. "To let the lightning in!" I remarked. "Not exactly," he replied, "but to let It out agnln if It did get in." As a fact, it accepted the invitation to enter the club with alacrity, and though it magnanimously spared the foolhardy peopla responsible for the invitation it wrecked a large safe In an adjoining room. The person who related this said be would ever after look upon lightning as the " 'cutest thing in creation."
