"For God's sake, captain, don t let us
stop now. To hell with breakfast!”
When 1 told the commodore that I in
tended '0 attribute our withdrawal to the
reed for breakfast, he intimated that it
was not a matter of much importance
what reason I gave, so long as I did not
give the true one. And so the breakfast

j,. a pit v to spoil so good a story by
K-fling the truth: but, as the commodore

F e day. 1 may as well let her have her
freedom now.
One in,-idi lit, w hich I have already men
tion and briefly in my dispatches, is worthy
of mere ext. nd. and repetition, as illustrating
the feelings of the enlisted men for the
commander-in-chief. The commodore,
while walking back and forth on the star
board side of the upper deck, noticed that
one of the petty officers, a man whose
duties did not call for his presence there,
was making a pretense of finding some
t .in to do on the portable, but was also
I k-ping i careful lookout on the commo
| don-. This man’s record of nearly forty
y.iars of service in the navy and army of
the United States had caused him to be
r--irde,l with special interest by the of
ficers of the Olympia, and he was, to a
c- rtain extent, a privileged character. So
t commodore, being familiar with the
manners of si imen, and seeing that the
old man “had something on his mind,”
said to him:
"W. 11. Purdy, what is it?”
“1 hops, sir," replied Purdy, stratght
erir.g up and saluting, “ye don’t intend
to fight -in the 3d of May.”
"And why not?”
"Well, ye s, e. sir." said Purdy, with the
most serious air possible, "the last time
I -ught on the 3d of May I got licked.”
And then he went on to tell of the 111-
f -.i day of Chnncellorsvllle, when he
had carried a gun in the army, and had
gone to defeat under ‘‘Fighting Joe”
Hooker.
' Ail right, Purdy,” said the commodore,
’a. won't light on the 3d of May this
In - : hut when we do fight, Purdy, he
continued, with an air of friendly confi
d. r e, "you’ll have a different kind of a

Ay. ay, sir,” replied Purdy, as he sa
'"i otid ctitied off. And a little while
lo'-r I h>uni him telling a group of the
on:- 1 linn-jackets that "we'd lick hell out
0 'he .Spaniards if there was ten times
'' y of them!” And probably to this
believes t hat it was due to
'imely hint that Dewey went into Ma
! bay at once, so as to avoid the “hoo
noo that was hanging over May "3.

This shell, after piercing two thicknesses I
of steel one-quarter of an inch thick. |
struck the deck and penetrated till it
reached one of the heavy deck beams,
which it cracked clear through. It was
then deflected upward, coming out of the
wooden deck, and tearing its way through
the steel combing of the engine room sky- ;
light, again passing through two quarter- j
inch plates. As it had been turned side- j
ways on rising from the deck, the ho es it ;
made through these plates were about j
eighteen inches long by six inches wide
ragged, torn spots, very unlike the clean- |
cut punctures made by such a shell when
entering point foremost. Leaving the sky
light, the shell, ranging slightly forward,
struck the recoil cylinder of the port 6-
inch gun on the quarter deck, disabling
the carriage. At last it met an object
strong enough to resist its attack—the steel
shield, which curved in front of the gun
in a complete semicircle. Following this
curve, the shell came out on the forward
side of the carriage, traveling in a direc
tion exactly opposite to its former course,
until it reached the starboard side of the
ship again, where it struck a steel venti
lator, and was Anally stopped. In other
words, this shell passed through one inch
of steel, ripped up a deck, broke a deck
beam, and bulged a shield about an inch
out of its original shape. It crossed the
Baltimore from starboard side to port and
back again to the starboard side, and yet
bad hit none of the many men engaged at
the guns nearby. It is true, it was the
cause of wounding two officers and six
men, for in its course it exploded two 3-
pounder shells which were lying on the
deck ready for use In the small gun on
the Baltimore’s rail; but directly it in
jured no one, and it is regarded as holding
the record for eccentric action.
Our courteous and courtly commodore
made no sign. He was waiting until he
could put an end to the whole annoyance
with one crushing blow'. At last the op
portunity came. He learned, on unques
tionable authority, that one of the Ger
man vessels had landed provisions in Ma
nila, thereby violating neutrality. I w r as
not present when he sent his message to
Admiral von Diederich, and, therefore, I
do not speak from personal knowledge
concerning it; hut I learned the facts from
a perfectly authentic source, as follows:
“Orderly, tell Mr. Brumby I would like
to see him,” said Admiral Dewey, one
forenoon.
“Oh, Brumby,” he continued, when the
flag lieutenant made his appearance on
the quarter deck, “1 wish you to take the
barge and go over to the Gorman flagship.
Give Admiral von Diederich my compli
ments, and say that I wish to call his at
tention to the fact that the vessels of his
squadron have shown an extraordinary
disregard of the usual courtesies of naval
intercourse, and that finally one of them
has committed a gross breach of neutrality
in landing provisions in Manila, a port
which I am blockading.”
The commodore’s voice had been as low
and sweetly modulated as if he had been
sending von Diederich an invitation to
dinner. When he stopped speaking,
Brumby, who did not need any better in
dication of the commodore’s mood than
the unusually formal and gentle manner
of .his. chief, turned to go. making the
usual official salute, and replying with the
customary “Ay, ay, sir.”
“And, Brumby,” continued the commo
dore, his voice rising and ringing with
the intensity of feeling that he felt he
had repressed long enough, “tell Admiral
von Diederich that if he wants a fight, he
can have it right now!”
Brumby w r ent with his message, and the
commodore paced he quarter deck in si
lence for a considerable time, evidently
working off some of the high pressure
that had brought forth his emphatic mes
sage to the German admiral. The latter
sent back the extraordinary reply that he
had not known anything about these ac
tions of his captains, and that they would
not be repeated. When one considers the
rigidity of discipline that is supposed to ex
ist in the German navy, the character of
Admiral von Dlederich’s apology is all the
more incomprehensible.

UTAH’S GIIBAT SALT LAKE.
The Mom Ulnrvelonn Sheet of Witter
in the World.
Col. P. Donan in Salt Lake Reporter.
The most wonderful feature of all this
wonderful land, the mightiest marvel of
all marvelous Utah, an ocean of majestic
mystery clad in beauty divine, is Great
Salt Lake, the American Dead sea. Among
all earth’s wierd wonders in water it has
but one rival or peer—the miracle-made
aea whose waves of doom and oblivion
roll over Sodom and Gomorrah, the Chi
oagoe of forty centuries ago. Think of a
lake from 2,500 to 3,000 square miles in
aiva, lying a thousand miles inland, ai
an altitude of 4,250 leet above the eeu
level whose waters are six times as sab
as those of the ocean; and while it has
no outlet, four large rivers pouring their
ceaseless floods of fresh water into it
without raising its mysterious surface a
fraction of an inch, or ever diminishing,
so far as chemical analysis can deter
mine, its indescribable salt ness. When
does all the water go? Where does all
the salt, that no streams can freshen,
come from? Where are the vast salin*
magazines from which it draws its ever
lasting supplies? One may stand upon
its shores and ask a thousand such ques
tions, but no answer comes from its mys
terious depths, in which nothing lives but
death and silence.
Salt lake was once as large as Lake
Huron, and was over a thousand feet
deep. Its former benches and the marks
of its olden wave plashings are as plain
upon the mountain benches as though
traced but yesterday. It Is now about a
hundred miles long, with an average width
of from 25 to 30 miles. It is from 50 to
€0 miles wide in some places, and its great
est depth is about 69 feet. Its waters con
tain 18 per cent, of solid matter, mostly
salt and soda, with small proportions of
sulphur, magnesia, calcium, bromide, po
tassium, litthia and boracic acid. The
Asiatic Dead sea water contains 23 per
cent, of solids, including less salt and
soda, and much more magnesia, calcium
and potassium than Salt lake. Atlantic
ocean water holds but 3.5 per cent, of
solid material, of which salt constitutes
3.6 per cent. Hundreds of thousands of
tons of salt are made by natural evapora
tion along the shores of the lake, and at
one place near Salt Lake City a. windy
night never fails to pile up many tons
of soda, eliminated by the movement oi
the waves.
Compared with this vast liquid treasure
house of riches, the . greatest bonanza
mines of Utah or of the United States
dwindle to beggar's penny boxes. Take
out your pencil and do a little figuring.
Figures, it is said, will not lie, and you
will soon find yourself standing dumb
founded before your own mathematical
truths.
Say Salt lake is 160 miles long, and has
an average width of 27 miles; ihat gives
an area of 2700 square miles. There are
27.878,400 square feet in a mile; so the lake
has an area of 75,871,680,000 square feet.
Take 20 feet as its average depth; then 20
times 74,271.680.000 will give us 1,505,433,-
600,090 cubic feet as the contents of the
lake. Now 16 2-3 per cent, or one-sixth of
♦ his. according to the analysis of eminent
chemists, is salt and sulphate of soda.
That is the lake contains 250,903,600.000
cubic feet of salt and sulphate of soda.
Of this mass one-eighth is sulphate of so
da, and seven-eighths common salt. A cu
bic foot of sulphate of soda weighs 50
pounds, and a cubic foot of common salt
80 pounds; so we have, as the clients, in
part, of this unparalleled reservoir of
wealth, 1,568,160.000,000 pounds or 784.080,-
OCO tons of sm’phate of soda, and 17,560,-
339,200,000 pounds, or 8,7£9.169,600 tons of
salt. Allowing 10 tons to a car-load, that
would he 78,-408,000 cars of soda, and 578,-
016.960 cars of salt.
The whole lake Is dotted with magnifi
cently picturesque mountainous islands or
islandous mountaines, rising out of the
blue-green water to a high! of from 3,000
to 5,000 feet. The principal of these wave
war hed mountain beauty spot are Ante
lope, Stansbury, Fremont, Carrington,
Gunnison, Dolphin. Mud, Fgg. and Hot
Islands. Antelope Island, the largest of
them all, is sixteen miles long and five
wide, and lies in plain view of Sa'.t Lake
Cby. It towers to an Altitude of about
4.000 feet above the surface of the lake,
and abounds in exquisite scenery. Streams
of pure water tumble down its
mountain sides and canyons; rich grasses
flourish everywhere, and it Is beautified
by grove of trees, thrifty ranches, orch
ards and gardens. Vast deposits of slate
of irridesoent hues are found upon it.
It has a glorious, gently-sloping beach of
snowy sand, and will, beyond all question*
some day be the great fashionable bath
ing place of interior North America. From
present indications, it will not be long un
til every available site for a bathing
ground in ihe eastern shore of the lake
will lie appropriated and Improved. In
1889 there were 240.000 bathers at the four
principal resorts, and over 300.000 in 1890,
and among them were tourists from every
region of the globe. Antelope Island is
an ideal spot for a grand national sum
mer assembly place; and It seems hardly
probable that the enterprising managers
of the Rio Grande and Western Railway
will allow it -to lie much longer unim
proved. With proper building and ac
commodations hundreds of thousands of
visitors cokt be annualy taken to enjoy
the bathing and boating and other aquatic
sports and diversions in the most inter
esting and enchanting region for such
purpose* on all the continent—if not in
all the world.
It may seem preposterous to talk of the
finest sea bathing on earth a thousand
mi! s from the ocean; but truth no Use
truth because it appears absurd. The sea
bathing in Great lake infinitely sur
passes anything of the kind on either the
Atlantic or Pacific coasts. The water
contains many times more salt and much
more soda, sulphur, magnesia, chlorine
bromide and potassium than any ocean
water on the globe. It is powerful In med
icinal virtues, curing or Ih nefluing rheu
matic gout, dyspepsia, nervous disorders
.ind cutaneous diseases; and it acts like
magic on the hair of those unfortunates
whose tendencencies are to bald-headed
ness. It is a prompt and pleasant tonic,
the invigorant ot body and mind, and then
there is no end of fun in geiting acquain
ted with the peculiarities. A first bath in
it is always as good as a circus, the bath
er being his or her own trick mule. The
specific gravity is but a trifle less than
that of the Holy Land Dead sea, the ac
tual figures with distilled water as unity
being, for the ocean 1027, for Salt lake
1107, and for the Dead sea 1116.
There Is not a fish or any living thing
in all the 2500 or 3000 square miles of beau
tiful waters, except the yearly increasing
swarms of summer bathers. Not a shark
or a stingaree to scare the timid swimmer
or floater, not r crab or a crawfish to nip
the toe of the nervous wader, not a min
now or a frog, a tadpole or a pollywog—
nothing that lives, moves crawls or wrig
gles. It is the ideal bathing place of
the world.
RECORDER GOFF AT A BULLFIGHT.
Prefer* It to a Prize Fight, Bnt
Thinlc* State* Can Be Saved With
out It.
From the Mexican Herald, Jan. 19.
Recorder John W. Goff of New York
city, the distinguished jurist who is at
present in Mexico city, was one of the
spectators at fhe bull light at the Bucareii
ring last Sunday, and witnessed the debut
of Parrao and Guerrorito.
“I must confess,” he said, “ihat I do
not have the same prejudices against bull
fighling that are felt by some of my
countrymen. I did not feel the disgust
that some people claim to feel at the spec
tacle, nor was I greaUy pleased. The
sight was not anew one to me. I do not
consider it to be nearly so brutal as some
of the so-called sports which take place
in the United States, and which are at
tended by great crowds in all of our large
cities. To me the spectacle of a matador
killing a brute animal is not nearly so dis
gusting or revolting to the sight as one of
our prize fights, where two human beings
pound one another into a jelly and maul
one another into insensibility. I have seen
prize fights and 1 have seen bull fights,
and in my opinion the former are for the
more degrading of the two.”
Judge Goff was asked w’hat he thought
of bull lighting as a means of municipal
reform. It was explained to him that one
of the strongest arguments offered for the
support of bull fighting is that It satifies
the craving for excitement of the populace
and keej>s them out of greater mischief.
He said that that was a question on
which he could not express a proper opin
ion. No one would be capable of speaking
with any" degree of correctness upon that
subject unless he had lived here for some
time and had made a careful study of the
characteristics and peculiarities of the
people and understood their character thor
oughly. “But,” said he, “my best judg
ment would be that some less bloody sport
could be secured which would accomplish
the same end.”
The Twentieth Century Puzzle.
Rev. C. W. Wilder in Zion's Herald.
There is a widespread misapprehension
as to the time when the nineteenth century
will close and the twentieth century begin.
The author of the beautiful poem on the
first page of Zion’s Herald for Jan. 4, has
fallen into this very common error. I
dislike to criticise, or even seem to do so, a
poem of such beauty and merit as the one
to which reference Is made. To the poem
itself I take no exception, save thU only,
that it was printed one year too soon.
The nineteenth century will not close till
Dec. 31, 1900, and, consequently, the
twentieth century will not begin Gil Jan.
1. 1901. A moment’s reflection w’ill convince
any one of this. A century is 100 consecu
tive years. “A century begins with Ihe be
ginning of the first day in Its first year,
and does not end till the close of the last
day in its hundredth year” (Standard dic-%
lion ary).
The first century did not close till the
last day of A. D. 100; for not till then had
a full hundred years b*en completed. The
second century began with the first day
of 101 and closed with (he last day of 200.
In like manner the nineteenth century be
gan Jan. 1, 1801, and will not close till Dec.
31, 1900. The twentieth century will be
gin Jan. 1, 1901.
We do not. call jw.rlrld one year old till
he has completed a full year and has be
gun his second year of life. But the year
1. or 101. or 501, or bOl began with the
first second of the d< signaled year, and
was )he year 1. or FI, etc., till the last
second of Dec. 31. The confusion In regard
to the beginning of a century may have
arisen from this difference In reckoning
the years of a century and the age of a
man.
