Fifty years ago today took place one of the most important events in naval history, the launching of the famous iron-clad Brooklyn. ship Monitor at The construction of nIiSJ craft marked the turning point in the great naval transi on from the old | wooden warships to the modern bat- tleships of the dreadnought type. The Monitor was the first fighter to be equipped with a revolving turret. A short time after she was completed there took place between her and the Merrimac in Hampton Roads the first battle between The Merrimac armored warships. | was an old wooden | vessel converted by the Confederate | Government into an iron-clad ram. The result of the contest between the two vessels was somewhat of a “draw,” but it settled the question of the superiority of any kind of iron- clad ship over the old wooden men- of-war. Immediately the nations of the world began constructing new iron vessels, and ever since there has been a continuous effort on the one hand to invent guns capable of de- stroying existing vessels, and on the other hand to invent guns capable of resisting them. Great Britain was easily first in the new departure, and has occupieq that position for half a century, though closely pressed for first honors by the United States and Germany.

The magnificent example of the women of Dahomey should be made widely known wherever their more civ- Ilized sisters are to be found strug- gling fof thelir rights. Frederick Mar- tyn of the French foreign legion, who fought in the recent Dahomey cam- paign, tells us emphatically that “the female of the species is more deadly than the male.” The Senegalese tirail- leurs were attacked by the Amazons, and Mr. Martyn says that “any one in- clined to sympathize with the Amer zons on account of their sex and to look upon the combat between them and our men as unequal, may take it from'me that their sympathy would be misplaced. These young women were far and away the best men in the Da- homeyan army, and woman to man were quite a match for any of us. They fotight like unchained demons, and if driven into a correr, did not disdain to use their teeth and nails.” [t may be an error of policy to make these facts known, and thus to stimu- late a militancy already vigorous enough. Do you know that fully nine ont of every ten cases of” rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles due to cold or damp, or chronic rheu- matism, and require no internal treatment whatever?

According to Innes, who discusses the subject in “Transvaal Observa- tory Circular No. 5,” the apparent ab- gence of stars in this region is due to the occurrence of some absorbing medium, interposed between us and distant parts of the universe. ) Stars in the neighborhood of the dark region are enveloped in nebule; while just on the border of it there is a star which has been observed to fluctuate in magnitude between 11.0 and 12.2, and which was invisible during the years 1899-1901.
