IW IMPROVEMENTS.
Electrical Engineering Laboratory
Being Completed
IN THE MOORE BUILDING.
The Biological Department is Being Neatly
Fitted up in the New Science Hall-
Colonel Snelling’s New and
Commodious Quarters.
There are a considerable number of
improvements being made on the cam
pus during vacation season.
To start with the arrangement of the
Moore College building has been greatly
changed around.
The first floor, formerly occupied by
Dr. H. C. White, is now to be devoted
to the department of electrical engineer
ing. Col. L. H. Charbonnier, formerly
professor of Physics, has been for several
days superintending the arrangements
there. A considerable part of the appa
ratus in the physical laboratory will be
moved to the new laboratory of electri
cal engineering, and a great deal of new
apparatus will be added.
This department will be in charge of
Prof. A. H. Patterson, successor to Prof.
Charbonnier. The assistant professor of
physics, Mr. U. H. Davenport, will have
charge of the lower classes next year.
In the Science Hall building, the
workmen are busy fitting up the depart
ment of biology on the third floor. Dr.
Campbell’s office has already been
equipped, and the biological laboratory
will be equipped before the opening of
the fall term in September.
The rooms formerly occupied by
Chancellor Boggs in the library build
ing as office and recitation rooms have
been elegantly repaired and fitted up for
Col. C. M. Snelling, of the department
of mathematics.
The adjunct professor of engineering
has not been selected yet. He must be a
man also able to take charge of the mil
itary department, and the trustees are
carefully looking over the field in order
to secure the. very best man for the
place.

THE GREAT MID-SUMMER SALE OF
EMBROIDERIES, HOUSEKEEPING LINENS,
So That They Can Pour In An Enfilading Fire
New York, July 11.—A dispatch to
the Tribune from Siboney, via Port An
tonia, says:
The light artillery that arrived on Sat
urday will be sent forward and placed
in position for enfilading the trenches
where the Spanish forces are strongly
intrenched. The progress in pushing
forward the heavy siege guns is disap
pointing. They may be needed to re
dnoe the main fortifications of Santiago
Engineer and artillery officers are pos
itive that they have located accurately
the Spanish batteries, which were
destructive in the earlier fighting. The
troops which came yesterday will be
used as a reserve and not sent ahead too
rapidly. The addition to the supplies
brought by the transport will be very
serviceable.
The refugees from Santiago are be
coming a serious military problem
There is a large settlement of them
Caney, but that was not sufficient, and
hundreds have spread beyond Siboney
Rations are served to them. The most
intelligent of the refugees say that only
a small number of Spanish soldiers have
recently entered Santiago—not more
than 1,000.

LESSON OF THE COLON-
Swift Armored Cruisers Are What We Need in
Our Navy.
The inspiring victory gained by the
American fleet off Santiago should not
blind this country to the teaching of
the long chase up the coast after the
Cristobal Colon. That pursuit termi
nated gloriously for our navy, but it
was exciting enough to make us pause
to see how far we were actually pre
pared for such a dash in competition
with similar ships properly equipped
and skillfully manned. The Cristobal
Colon was a vessel armored with six
inches of steel, carrying 10 inch guns
and having a speed of 20 knots. When
she made the brave ruu for safety the
Brooklyn, the Oregon and later the
New York followed her. The Brook
lyn, which has 21.9 knots speed, was
easily able to catch her, but for a ship
with armor varying from 3 to 7% inches
aud nothing larger thau 8-indffi guns to
face the Cristobal Colon was reckless—
or would have been except iu the ease
of a Spanish enemy. The New York,
too, with a 21-knot speed, could catch
her, but here again it was a case of
4-incb armor and 8-inch guns. The
Oregan has 18 inches of armor and 13-
mch guns, but they might have been
useless when her 1(5.7 knots speeed was
pitted against the 20 knots of the Colon.
All the other American ships suffered
under the same disadvantages. Those
of equal speed to the Spaniard were in
ferior iu strength, while those that
could fight him fairly could not keep
np with him in a race.
That race did not result as it might
have done, thanks to American gunne
ry, but the fact that the Colon ran be
tween forty-five and sixty miles before
she was rounded up shows that her cap
ture was by uo means a foregone con
clusion. Undoubtedly Cervera was
short of good coal, and his crew was in
bad condition. His ships had been
cooped up in a tropical harbor and
were overgrown with weeds, and his
machinery had not had the best of care.
Bat if the Colon under these circum
stances could make a dash, it is easy to
imagine that she would have outstrip
ped ns if she had been in perfect form.
SuBKMMmuWdSBNwBI
Then we should have had a first-class
vessel, faster than any American vessel
of equal power, striking along our
Cuban blockade, perhaps running into
Havana, perhaps threatening our own
coast. Fortunately, we have nothing of
the kind now to fear, but we should not
forget that we did fear just such ex
ploits keenly two months ago before
the Cape Verde fleet was bottled up,
and we should be thankful for our good
fortune and not continue to trust for
tune in such cases next time. L
Instead, let us have some battleships
of sufficient speed to cope with such a
situation as that of Cervera’s rusKtohen
made by better-kept ships thanjhis.
Under different conditions he’Mnight
have turned on our plucky eThisers for
their impudence in following hfuv. We
need ships strong enough to megt any
thing that can go as fast as tae;
aud we do not own them now. XUe
! w
chase of the Colon ought to bring con
viction to the bureau of construction of
the folly of building three new battle
ships of 16-knots speed—slower than
those of other nations, slower than our
own Oregon, Texas and Iowa—when
trifling changes in engine-room design
would give them 18 knots, a speed
greater than that of any American bat
tleship, though not equal to that of
many foreign ships built iu the last five
years. It is inconceivable that any de
siie to avoid work ’’and trouble should
make our constructors still persist in
building slow battleships iu face of the
possibilities developed by the Cristobal
Colon’s steaming so far iu her desperate
flight.—New York Tribune.

ALL HONOR TO SCHLEY
Who Was the Real Hero of the Naval Battle.
All honor to Winfield Scott Schley, of
Maryland. The commander of the fly
ing squadron lay quietly at Hampton
Roads until the time came for him to
move. Then he as qnietly weighed
anchor and sailed away, proceeding di
rectly to the place where his work was
to be done. He “bottled up” the Span-
ish fleet at Santiago and remained qui
etly at the mouth of the bottle a month.
All this time we have heard very little
from him for he does not seem to have
the faculty of getting himself written
about in the newspapers. But when
the six magnificent vessjglg of the Span
ish fleet emerged from the bottle there
was Schley on duty, watching and wait
ing with the patience of a cat at a rat
hole. And when he saw his prey he
pounced upon it and crushed it by deal
ing such a blow as has seldom been
dealt by any naval officer upon the wa
ters. And it was done without cost to
his own vessels or to the country, ex
cept in the liberal use of ammunition,
which was not spared, but none of
which was wasted in bombarding the
peaceful bosom of the ocean.
Every Marylander rejoices that it was
Schley who .-was in command of the
fleet, as it happened through the tempo
rary absence of Admiral Sampson, when
the time to do the work came. Under
his command no vessel in the fleet made
a false move and nothing went amiss.
And now the question is: "What
shall Do done unto the whom the king
delighteth to honor. Let the royal ap
parel be brought, which the king useth
to wear, and the horse that the king
rideth upon, and the crown royal which
is set upon his head, and let this appa
rel and horse be delivered to the hand
of one of the king’s most noble princes,
ey may array the man withal
the king delighteth to honor,
and,ljMng him on horseback through
the street of the city and proclaim be-
ire him, Thus-shall it be done to the
n whom the king delighteth to honor,
'he meaning of it all is that when
promotions to the rank of rear admiral
are handed around on a silver waiter it
should first be handed to the hero of
Santiago, the brave Winfield Scott
Schley, of Maryland, and who is as
moderate as he is brave.
The joint resolution offered yesterday
by Berry, of Kentuck, tendering the
thanks of congress and of the American
people to Commodore Schley and the of
ficers and men of his command for their
heroic conduct is a just tribute for mag
nificent service. In offering the resolu
tion Mr. Berry said:
“I propose that the officer to whom
the glory is due shall be recognized.
Schley is the real hero of the inoident.
He and the brave band of officers and
men under his immediate direction are
the ones who achieved the victory and
all honor should be given to them.
Schley and his men have performed a
notable feat that will go down in histo
ry hand in hand with that daring forc
ing of Manila harbor by Dewey on
May 1.”
Schley’s flagship, the Brooklyn, was
on the extreme left of the blockading
squadron when Cervera broke from the
harbor and steered westward. From
the Brooklyn Schley signaled his orders
to the fleet, and it was the Brooklyn
which rounded up the Spaniards and
drove the one in advance ashore. It
was the Brooklyn apparently which re
ceived the only shot which destroyed
lifeon our fleet, killing the chief yeo
man am} wounding two others. It was
Schley who bottled np the fleet, and it
was an< ^ tho brave men under him
who^ave it the coup de grace.
Admiral Sampson is a splendid officer
und a brave man. If he had Seen pres
ent the result would have been the same.
But he was absent in conference with
Gen. Shafter, and returned only in time
to see the conclusion of the glorious af
fair into which he sailed with charac
teristic bravery.—Exchange.

SKIFF’S ONCE-A-WEEK TALK.
People live more and faster in a few
years now than was the case half a cen
tury or more ago, but it is doubtful i:
they get any more enjoyment out of lift
now than those did that lived iu by
gone days, aud the oldest people will
tell yon so, as they look back to chose
g£Ood days and the good old people that
lived then and were honest and up
right in all their dealings between man
and man—everybody seemed to hike an
interest in the welfare of his neigh
bors, ready and willing to assist them
in the trials qf life.
A lady way back iu those Puritan
days would get more enjoyment ir.
wearing a new, clean calico dress than
one does now in wearing a costly silk.
They would receive more pleasure anti
be better satisfied with a rag carpet fa
their parlor floor thau the ladies of this
our day are with a brussels. Our moth
er felt so proud of her handsome
rag parlor carpet she made ana
wove herself! The carpet is jet
in existence, and the loom she wove it
on. Such things are dear to think about,
especially when connected with outs
own family. We do believe that people
in those days enjoyed what they had,
better than the people these days do
with what they have. And we believe
people were better iu every way than
they are now. The churches had better
ministers, better members with pare:
religion. Their prayers seemed to use
and call down the converting spirit iu
times of a revival, they were honest
sincere prayers and the offerees of those
prayers, were those tljat lived out of the
church with the same spirit as they did
when in it, their worldly example was
above reproach and their prayers and
exrtations were listened to as coming
from honest hearts.
Can we say the same of all the prayer
and exortations that we listen to in this
our day! Will they be the means of con
verting the world or any community-
We fear not until the praying oues are
converted to the true spirit.
Prayer and religious talk to have t ie
de3ired effect to warm up the hearts o
the cold and useless church member an
melt the hearts of the sinner to repen
tauce should come from the hp s of t'losi
that are true apostles of Christ whose
