The Great Japanese Sea Fight.
Conimander Alfred T. Mahan, the
American naval once: best known and
most esteemed in European circles be-
Power Uponfiistory,” furnishes much
interesting reading in his comments, in
The Century, on the great Japan-China
The light, it will be remembered, took
place Sept. 17, 1894. ‘
One of the most impressive facts In
connection with the fight is to Com-
mander Mahan’s mind the very great
future warfare, both on land and sea,
the rapid fire gun will play a lunch
greater part than it has done heretofore.
The heavy iron covers on the large can-
non on board a mau-of—war represent
the defensive in battle, says Captain
Mahali, while the smaller rapid fire
guns represent the offensive. The Chi-
nose had large cannon with sufficiently
heavy gun shields, but they were de-
ficient in rapid fire guns. That was
one reason the Japanese whipped, for
the J ups represented the attacking party.
Manon quotes Admiral Farragut's bay—
iug. “The best defense against the one-
my is 11 Well directed fire from our own
guns. ” Commander Mi-Giilln of the
Chinese ironclad Chen Yuen says, in
his account of the light, that the Chi-
nese wore very short of ammunition, and
that this was the fault of the Chinese
government. Captain Malian believes it
is the best policy to have many rounds
of ammunition on deck ready to load,
in spite of the danger of explosion.
This the Japanese did; also the Chinese,
so far as their ammunition held out.
But with the Japanese forililltiou for
the light Malian finds fault. The Japa~
nose ships su-anied in line one after an-
otlicr across the whole front of the Chi-
noso fleet, thus presenting their flanks
to the Chinese bows. Only for the fact
that the Japanese vessels were so much
more speedy than the Chinese this
would have vaii a “reckless ulllll‘l‘lilk‘
ing." If the (“hincso ships had been
swift enough to do it, they could have
rammed the Japanese ulnidships. Furs
thorniore, Malian cannot see why, since
the Japanese attack was made on the
flank of the Chinese fleet. the same at—
tack could not have been made ill the
beginning on the loft flank, instead of
incurring, as the Japanese admiral did,
the risk of being manned by steaming
across the Chinese front and attacking
the right flank.
Ono lesson shown by the fight is that
a column of ships in a better defensive
arrangement than a line of ships.
As a whole. Captain Malian considers
the result of the Yalu light a drawn bat-
tle, because. although the Japanese
whipped, they did it with their rapid
fire guns against an enemy that had no
rapid lire guns to meet them with, and
thorn is no telling absolutely what the
Chinese could have done if they, too,
had had plenty of ammunition and
plenty of rapid llro guns.
The question. too, came up here.
which. Malian says, has been under dis-
cussion a century, Which is it better to
dip—try to injure the motive power of
the enemy's ship and destroy her, or to
try to kill and disable bur men? Malian
believes that on the whole experience
replies. “Attack the men. " This was
what the Japanese did with their rapid
fire guns, and they conquered.
Thomas Edison is level headed ill
ways. and ho says electricity will kill,
dead sure. He explains, too. the differ.
euro lmlweoii volts and amperes in a
way that common people can understand
it, which, it is safe to say, nobody ever
did before. Volts, it seems, denotes the
force of the electric current : amperee its
volume or the space ‘in which it is al«
lowed to act. “If you use a missile as
slender as a knitting needle,” says the
blow on a bar an inch thick dying at
the same rate. ” That is to say, one
might receive many thousand volts of
electricity from the knitting needle, and
it would be harmless. because enough of
it could not get at him at ones. That
current would not have amperes enough.

It ‘is said ’that Colonel George E.
Waring’s street sweepers in New York
city, with their white linen costume,
trousers, skirted blouses, cap and all of
the same immaculate color, need only
an American Beauty rose in their blouse
lapels to make them complete. Perhaps
the municipal authorities will make an
appropriation for this soon. Meantime,
however, the resthetie colonel has insti-
tuted one kind of street cleaning which
will meet the approval of everybody.‘
The plan was suggested by a street in-
specter, Alexander S. Drescher. ,A corps
of juvenile voluntecer street cleaners
has been organised, whose business it is
to see that rubbish is not thrown into
the highways. If a dandy is lathe not
of pitching a cigarette stump upon the
pavement, the small boy is after him in
a moment, with, “Please, mister,'won‘t
you put that into the 11in barrel?" It is
the same with papers, banana'skius,
orange peel and every other thing that
the careless threw into the street. The
young detectives work unpaid. They
are bdcoming a terror, and the little
rascals enjoy it. They are organized
into a league and have badges of oillce.
The result is that in the districts where
they operate, some of the worst in the
city, the streets are among the cleanest.
Here is an idea that ought to be taken
