             The final battle of the War of 1812 was the Battle of Mew Orleans.This battle gave a clear demonstration of the need for effective communication during wartime;it also showed the disastrous reslt that can come to pass when communication is inadequate.

            The War of 1812 was fought between Great Britain and the very young country of the United States only a relatively few years after the United States had won its independence from Britain.The United States had declared war against Britain in june of 1812,mosly because of interference with U.S.shipping by the British and because of the shanghaiing of U.S. sailors for enforced service on  British vessels.The war lasted for a little more than two years,when a peace treaty was signed at Ghent,in Belgium,on the 24th of december,1814.

            Unfortunately,the news that the Treaty of Ghent had been signed and that the war was officially over was not communicated in a timely manner over the wide distance to where the war was being contested.Negotiation for the treaty and the actual signing of the treaty took place in Europe,and news of the traty had to be carried across the Atlantic to the war front by ship.A totally unnecessary loss of life was incurred as a result of the amount of time that it took to inform the combatants of the traty.

            Early in January of 1815,some two weeks after the peace ireaty had been signed,British troops in the southern part of the United States were unaware that the war had officially ended.Over 5000British troops attacked U.S.troops.During the ensuing battle,known as the Battle of New Orleans,The British suffered a huge number of casualties,around 2000,and the Americans lost 71,all in a battle fought only because news of the peace treaty that had already been signed in Ghent had not yet reached the battlefield.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
