Things To Watch
For In The Future
Liquid coal mixed with oil, latest
of high-powered fuels. Chemists sav
this development is coming along
fast and will increase cruising range
of ships, reduce fire risks because of
lower volatility, help many indus
trial operations such as plastic mold
ing . . . Sun glasses which can be
dimmed at will from almost clear
glass to complete blackness, another
Polaroid research development , . ,
A rubber support attachment for the
French-type or handset telephone
which enables the users ot have
both hands free when telephoning
. . . Continued rise in the affluence
of the soy bean. Value of this year's
crop is estimated at $175,000,000. a
neat jump of more than $100,000,000
from 1940. It seems that a new use
for soy beans is discovered almost
every day. Recent samples: bakery
products, macaroni, breakfast foods,
malted drinks, salad pils, pancake
flour, plastics, paint, soap, printing
ink. glue, and tanned leather.

A Confederate Ram, Constructed in?
N. C.. Engaged Seven Federal Gun
boats. May 5th, 1864. . .
"Stand to your guns; and if we
must sink, let us go down like brave
men." These were the words of Cap
tain James W. Cooke, spoken in a
firm calm voice during a Civil War
battle.
He commanded the Confederate
ironclad ram, Albemarle, which Gil
bert-Elliott constructed below Halu
fax, at Edward's ferry on Koanoke
River. It was surrounded by a fed
eral squadron of seven well-armed
gunboats. Her smokestack had been
riddled; iron plates in her shield had
been broken; and the after-gun had
been rendered useless. The destruct
ive firing continued until late in the
afternoon. Then came the attack that
brought forward the undismayed
captain's command, which checked
the incipient disorder. Some of the
crew had been excited, fearing the
ram was sinking.
The crash that caused the trouble
was an attack from the federal gun
boat. Sassacus. The commander of
this gunboat selected^MS opportunity
and with all steam on struck Captain
Cooke's Albemarle squarely abaft
her starboard beam. The impact was
so great it forced the after deck of
the ram several feet below the sur
face of the water.
The battered Iniat soon regained its
poise, and fired a shot through its
assailant's boiler. The escaping steam
disabled several members of the
crew.
Every effort failed, when the fed
eral fleet tried to strike a fatal blow
against the confederate ironclad
ram Night's shadows ended the
day's combat, but Captain Cooke's
Albemarle was handicapped by the
loss of its smokestack The capacity
for drawing had been lost, and the
boat had no steam to furnish power
to return to Plymouth. It lay a help
less mass until the resourceful CookeJ
used his supply of lard and bucon
for fuel. Fats burn without the aid
of a good smokestack. By using these
supplies gathered in Halifax and
Martin counties, he was able to make
sufficient steam to run against the
current of the Roanoke. When the
ironclad Albemarle, constructed in
North Carolina waters, tied up to
her wharf in Plymouth, it was cov
ered with wounds and with glory.
In her different engagements, the
Albemarle was struck a great many
times by shot and shell The upper
Section of the smokestack had one
hundred and fourteen holes torn in
it, yet only one member of its crew
lost his life. An imprudent sailor was
killed by a pistol shot. He had put his
head out of one of the portholes to
see what was happening
