TIE BARN KLND0W.

by LUCY LARCoM.
TnE old barn window, John,
DO you rememberit2
How just above 1t, on the beam,
The tame doves used to sit
And how we watched the sunshine stream
Through notes and gossameT,
When down they fluttcred, John,
With such breezy whirrp
think the sunsets, John,
Are seldom now as red
They used to linger like q crown
Upon your auburn head,
From the high hay.loft looking down
To tell me OF the nest
The white hen hid there, john
The whole brood's handsomestl
Those times were pleasant, John,
When we were boy and girl,
Though modern young folks style them
slow;
Alacki giddy whirl
The poor old world is spinning now,
To stop, who guesses when?
Be thankful with me, John,
That we were children then!
Have you forgotten, John,
That Wednesday afternoon
When the great doors were opened wide
And all the scents OF June
Came in to greet us, side by side,
In the high-seated swing
Where hocks of swallows, John,
Famed us with startled wing?
Up TO the barn-eaves, John,
We swung, two happy things,
At home and careless in the air
As If we both had wings;
The mountain sides lay far and fair
Beyond the blue streams shore;
/ cried Swing higher, John!'
And fell upon the foorl
Next time saw you, John,
You stood beside my bed;
Tears trembed in your clear boy-glance,
thought that / was dead,
But felt my childish pulses dance
To be beside you still
lived to love you, John,
As TO the end | will
We swing no longer, John,
We sit at our own door
And watch the shadows on the hill,
The sunshine on the shore;
But the window in the barn is still
A magic glass to me,
For through its cobwebs, John,
Our childhood's days see!

A Wonderful Torpedo.


J. B. STIILsoN writes as follows to the
New York World -,
But the most important and astonishing
torpedo is that which was invented some
time ago by John Lay, of Buffalo, N. Y,
who was during the war an assistant en-
cineer in the navy Mr.. Lay has since
greatly improved his invention, and has
not vet submitted his new model. The
Lay torpedo is a cigar shaped vessel about
twenty feet long. 1t is sent into the water
at any distance from the enemy-any-
where from two to three milesIan9
guided to his destruction by insulated
electric wires. The torpedo proper is a
chamber at the extreme bow, filled with
gunpowder or nitro -glycerine, and having
an electric fuse or igniter. The propell-
| ing power is liquid carbonic acid gas, CON p
! tained in three steel chambers IN com
partment lust back of the torpedo, which
each sustain pressure of 600 pounds TO
the square inch. Pipes leading from
these chambers connect them with re-
ducers and equilibrium valves In the rear,
where the liquifed gas is vaporlzed ana
| supplied like steam to two small osclilat-
ing engines, which turn the propeller at
the stern. The steering apparatus con
sists of magnets of great power, whlch
draw the wires of the tiller toport or 20
starboard as the attraction of one magnet
is made to Weld TO that of the other.
A reel of insulated wire is hung in
commandment between the steel reservoirs
and the engines, paying the wire out
through the bottom of the vessel as 1t pro-
ceeds, The speed of the vessel and its dl-
rection are determined by exquisitely
graduated electric currents, which Affect

gines and the magnets which control the
