SsE' Experiments with toupedoes were
recently made at Brest. Gao Of them
was to test the action Of one of those sub
MARINE monsters on a nautical screw"
which was placed in position for the
purpose of the experiment. The old YES
sci was moored over a torpedo containing
sbout 600 pounds of powder, lying at a
depth Of 10 feet (French), say, 30 Eng
Gsh feet. When the explosion took place
the condemned craft was first Of all near
ly lifted out of the sea, and then power
full jet of water pierced it as if an enor-
NOUS projcctile had passed through keel
and decks, and rose to a height of some
GO feet But for the empty casks with
which the ship was laden it would i'm
mediately have gone to the bottom. All
the danger, however, in the explosion of
the torpedo is not represented by this
mass Of water, which destroys as it rises
and mandates as it falls. A no less ter
rihle effect isproduced by the powder,
which in searching an issue; escapes
from the water in sharp blades which
nothing can resist. Beams measuring
more than six square feet have been cut
through as with saw. Guppowder is
found to answer better for torpedoes than
picrate of potassium, uitro-gyccrine, OF
gun-cotton.

On the appearance of the Cholera in this city,

me that they had no fears or dread OF the cholera
as long as they had the Pain Killer by them. and
hundreds took it daily as preventative, for no
person can have arrangement OF bowels or di-
arrhPa If they use this medicine This was the
security and confidence of hundreds acquainted
with it, and when their friends were attacked with
the Cholera they would administer the remedy in
large quantities, and in every case when it has
been taken in any OF the first StageS0f the disease
it has proved successful.
consider il an infallible remedy. / have not
heard of any individual in any family who used
the Pain Killer when attacked but speedily recov
