A FORMIDABLE WAR ENGINE.-The U.
5. torpedo boat Alarm, now lying at the
navy yard, has an armament consisting of
one fifteen. inch Dahlgren gun, rugged to fire
from The bow; four Calling guns that are
rugged on the rail and can be shiftet from
side TO side In less than one minute. and three
torpedo bars, one on each side OF the bow
and one running ont OF the PROV, which ex-
tends forty feet ahead of the bow-twenty-
hve rect OF IT being under the surface of the
wafer. Inc Prov Is SO constructed that IL
can De used as q ram when necessary, and Is
formed OF iron four aud six inches thick, in
such form that 1t is perfectly buoyaut, and
instead OF tending TO drive the vessels bow
nose under In heavy sea. has q stronger
tendency TO keep IL free. The two DOW tor
pedo bars are each fifteen feet in length, and
are so arranged that they can be run inside
OF the vessel TO ship the tOrpedoes, and run
out again to discharge them. They pass
through the side of the vessel in a water
tight sleeve, about three feet below the W alter
t1ght valves there Is no fear of any flow of
water from the outside. The PROV torpedo
bar Is worked in the same manner as the
others, but can be run out twenty-five feet
eyond the point of the PROV, so that the tor
pedo VIII actually be discharged sixty-fve
feet from the bow of the vessel. The guns
and torpedoes can be fired by electricity
governed by yboard in the pilot-house,
and the battery is strong enough 10 discharge
the gun and explode the torpedoes simulta-
neOusly. The latter can also be exploded by
concussiOn. Both gun and torpedo bars can
be operated wholly by steam If required,
and SO instantaneous Is the application that
much time is saved over the old method of
working everything by hand. Each OF the
Calling batteries is capable OF firing four
hundred discharges minute.-[M Y. COM

NGULAR ATTEMPT AT AssAsSINATIoN
A very strange attempt at assassination
occurred at Troy, N. Y, last Friday. A
CANT bier named George Patrick was passing
through the hall OF his faro saloon, at No. PSI
River street. at 8 O'Clock Friday morning,
when he was attacked by two men with
masks over their faces. One OF them yrasped
him by the throat, aud the other fired pis-
tol at him. Patrick managed to free him
self, and ran down the stairs crying "Mur-
der" The desperadoes, instead OF pursuing
him, turned 10 make their own escape The
hall was in the second story OF the building,
and chain hoisting apparatus ran from the
top TO the bottom, at the rear OF the house.
Down this the two men slid, one OF them
holding by one hand and hourisbtng a pistol
In the other. They both descended safely,
and one of them ran In the direction of TIE
docks, turned two or three corners, and dis
appeared. The other, however, began rum
mig a muck with his pistol, fiourishing IL
a. every one he met, although not firing an I'll
crowd of workmen started In pursuit OF
him. He toOK refuge from what appeared to
be threatening demonstration In Church q
fourdery, and after hourishing his pistol
among the men there, left through a rear
door and crossed the bridge to Green Island,
where he disappeared. Neither of them has
since been captured, and Patrick. the man
who was assaulted, refuses to say any thing
about The affair.

DIFFERENT STYLES OF ENGRAVING
"Line" engraving is OF the highest order
All great engravings are done In "line"-
simply straight lines. Next comes cline and
stipple." "Stipple" means dots-smaIl dots
ike these ........ These small dots are used
TO tighten mp the high parts OF the face or
drapery. II is very hard to engrave a face in
lines simply, and only master engravers
have ever undertaken IL. The masters under

menced at the apex OF the nose, and wound
out and out, like watch spring, until IL
ended In the border of the picture. Mezzo-
tint engravings are produced thus: The steel
or copper Is made rough, like fine sandpaper
To produce soft effects this rough surface is
scraPed off If you want white place, or
"high light" In your engraving, scrape the
surface smooth, and then the ink will not
touch IT.. II you want faint color, scrape off q
little. Such engav1ngs look like photographs
Etching Is adapted to homely and familiar
sketches. Almost all the great painters were
etchers. Etching Is done thus: The copper
or steel plate Is heated and covered With
black varnish; the engraver scratches of
this varnfsh with sharp needles, working on
the surface as he would on paper with o pen.
Nitric acid IL then poured over the plate,
and It eats away at the steel and copper

varnish. When the varnish Ia removed with
