Lager Beer.

1t seems, according to newspaper
writer, that lager beer was introduced
into the United States only thirty years
ago. That was about the time the
great German immigration was begin
ming, and our Teutonic friends brought
along with them their god Gambrinus,
and certainly he has been a welcome
guest.
The history Of beer carries us back to
tie old Egyptians, who are said to have
invented it, as they did many other
things. They were remarkable peo-
pile, and doubtless Moses learned much
from them. Our modern beer, how
ever, dates back only to the time Of
Charlemagne, when hops were first Gull
tivated in Europe. The monks were the
brewers of the Middle Ages, as they also
were the great agriculturists, and they
kept the secret Of it's manufacture for a
long period, enjoying the exclusive priv
ilege of concocting a liquor which has
now become a favorite drink of the
civilized world, and out of whose
brewing vast fortunes have been made,
so that In England the brewers stand
next to the aristocracy in social conse-
quence, with abundant wealth to sustain
the position.
AS earl as the fourteenth century Ba-
varia was celebrated for it's beer, and
now it makes an article Of quality not
excelled in Germany. A century later
Saxon breweries became well known,
but the English-next to the Germans,
and, of late, ourselves, the great beer
drinkers-did not begin to manufacture
the beverage until later. In 1924, how
ever, they were making beer from hops.
The trouble with the English beer is
that it is too heavy and too heady, and
therefore recent temperance advocate
in England urges the popularization of
the German lager, much lighter and
more innocent potation.
So important is beer brewing in Ger
many that there has been established at
Nuremberg school of brewers where
all the mysteries of the art are taught,
and it is very useful institution, more
useful in TACT than some more preten-
tious colleges; for good brewers, like
good cooks, are blessing to the race,
and though it may be necessary that
they should be born and not made, yet
nothing commendable is done except af-
ter training. -NeU York Sun.

THE TORPEDO QUESTION.
A Plan tor Resisting Their Destructive
Agency.

A Plan tor Resisting Their Destructive
Agency.
From the Chicago Tribunal
The torpedo question continues to agi-
tate the English public, and the latest
papers that come to us are full of discus.
sions and speculations as to the best
methods of rresting their destructive
agency. The wire-netting proposed by
Capt. Singer is universally conceded to
be impracticable. The latest plan sug-
gested, however, is very ingenious and
apparently practical. 1t is the use of IL
Elimination, which the London Times
describes as follows:
"Within the last few weeks very i'm
portant advance has been made toward
solving this problem of illumination at
| sea by an adaptation of what is known
as the Holmes distress signal, in the
form of shot, forilluminating purposes,
to be fired from mortars at ranges vary
ing from 500 to $500 yards. These sig
nails possess the remarkable property of
emitting very powerful white light the
moment they come into contact with the
water, and when once ignited are abso-
lutely inextinguishable by either wind
or water, and burn with a persistency
that is almost Incredible, thirty or forty
minutes being an average duration. The
shot containing this light is constructed
SO as to be buoyant upon the water, and,
at the same time, with sufficient rigidity
of form to withstand the conclusion of
the powder. Upon striking the water at
the required range, the shot, floating up
to the surface, Immediately bursts into a
brilliant flame, with great illuminating
power"
By the use of these shots vessel could
be surrounded at night with brilliant
girdle of light that would allow her crew
to perceive anything approaching her,
while the vessel herself would be invisi-
to the enemy. The torpedo is always
worked under cover of darkness, but,
where a vessel is surrounded in this man.
ner with light, it would be impossible
for boats crew to approach with the
intention of fastening the torpedo to the
vessel, as in the case of the monitor at
Matchin, for torpedo launch to come
near her, or even to approach near
enough to launch one of the Whitehead
torpedoes with sufficient impact to be
effective. One Of the English papers, in
discussing the question, brings out a
point not generally known, namely, that
the real value of the torpedo as de-
structive agency in warfare was not
known until during our own wa- of the
rebellion. Torpedoes were employed by
the Russians in the Crimean war, but
with no effect, and the Austrians, in
1859, organized system Of torpedo de-
tense, but the armistice that followed
left no opportunity to test it. It was re-
served for Yankee ingenuity to develop
this terrible missile of destruction that
now threatens to break up the whole sys-
tenn of blockading and ruin the effective
ness of the most powerful navies, if it
does not altogether destroy them.

A Natural Curiosity.

In the great valley between the North
and South mountains, in Pennsylvania,
commonly called the Eastern ridge, a
well was dug some years since IN Frank
lin, and another in Cumberland county,
thirty or forty miles from the former,
which led to discovery affording a sub
iect for interesting speculation: After
proceeding in each instance to depth of
about thirty-six feet, the bottom of these
wells gave way (but fortunately when
the workmen had retired) and a torrent
of water rushed up. A lead was sunk
with fifty fathoms of line without finding
the least obstruction. They remain at
this time untouched and of unknown
depth. The presumption is, there is
subterranean Lake in that quarter, and
how far it extends under the base of the
vast primitive mountains, situated be-
tween the Susquehanna and Pittsburgh,
will never be aseertained, unless dyson
terrible CONFUSION of nature they should
be precipitated in the tremendous abyss.

A MOnSe,S Stratagem.

Yesterday afternoon the writer wit
messed a strange sight in the Record
office. Our attention was attracted BY
several lusty squeaks from the inside Of
pail, almost full of water, into which
half grown mouse had fallen. The
alarm had hardly died away when four
or five more mice appeared on the
scene, and began clambering to the top
edge of the pail. For several moments
after gaining the top of the pail and
catching sight of the mouse III the water
squeaking confab was held.
First one mouse and then another
would cling to the rim of the bucket with

American Commerce for Ten Months

The report of the Bureau of Statistics
for the first ten months of the fiscal year
is an encouraging one. A comparison
for the whole time with the correspond
ing period of 1875 does not exhibit any
improvement. but this can be plainly
discerned in the imports for the month
of April. Their total value was 49,
$40, Ala, against $36, 156, 526 for the same
month last year. When viewed for the
ten months, the decline is seen to have
continued for most Of the time; the fig
ures are 1857, 500, 545 of merchandise i'm
ports in 1877, against $3.50, O69, 648. The
domestic exports for April, 1877, were
$47, $780, IT'S, or more than $1,000, 900
better than those Of April, 1876, $46,-
704, 668. For the ten months, the do
mestic exports were valued (gold values)
at $503, 733, 1853, against S439, 915, 269 for
the corresponding months of the fiscal
year 1876-an increase of 1868, 818, OS4.
The heaviest increase in imports was in
sugar, of which $50, 900, 900 more in val
ue was imported the imports Of teas
and coffees fell off 81 100000. The ex-
ports of corn increased $4,000, 900.
while those of cotton fell away $21, OOO.,
900. There was great enhancement in
the value of petroleum exports, which
rose from 1924, 100000 to SAG, 900, 900.
Bacon and ham exports increased $1O,-
100000; lard, $5,000,000; and leaf to-
bacco, $4,000, 900.

Shocking Tragedy in England.

A remarkable case of cold-b FLOODED and
premeditated wife-murder is exciting the
English public almost to point of
lynching the perpetrators. In 1873
Louis Adolphus Edmund Staunton,
then youth of "a, and earning 91 a
week, formed the acquaintance of Miss
Harriet Richardson, ten years his senior.
the daughter Of Mrs. Butterfeld, and
niece of Lord Rivers. The lady had
81 400 in her own right, and reversion-
airy interest in $4,000 more. She had
never been strong in her intellect, and
just before her marriage to Staunton her
friends made an unsuccessful effort to
secure her confinement in an asylum.
From the time Of the wedding her mother
saw her but once before her death. She
was completely isolated from her family,
who knew nothing Of her until they
heard Of the birth and death of child
After death she was found to be terribly
emaciated, and an autopsy demon
strated that she had been slowly starved
to death. Her husband, his brother,
and a woman who had been living in the
same house were promptly arrested, and
during their preliminary examination
before the magistrates it was found nee
essary to guard them carefully to protect
them against the multitude, who boldly
threatened them with execution without
any sanction of law. The magistrates
found them guilty Of the capital offense
and bound them over for trial. There
seems to be no doubt that Staunton de-
iberately married and murdered harm
less idiot, whose only fault was the pos
session of little money, after which the
brute lusted.

Beet Sugar.

The Age Of Steel makes the point that
Industries are needed in this country
which will give employment to more ma
chinery, and it suggests the beet-root
sugar business as one that will do this.
This industry is one that can be carried
on in every State of the Union. Were
it naturalized here, as il can be readily,
it certainly would benefit the iron trade
materially In the way indicated. 1t
would, however, do vast amount of adj
ditional good. 1t would save the pay
ment of 100000 to other countries
for sugar, and would make work at home
for q vast army of men and enrich a great
corps of new sugar producers and mer-
chants. 1t is probable that the United
States will yet take to making this kind
of sugar.

PLEASANT FOR HARD DRINKERs.--The
louisville Courier Journal, which is publish
ed in a State where whiskey ought to he good
.ifanywhere, confirms the Statement that prob
ably nine hundred and pinety-nibe gallons
ont of every thousand that are sold as brandy
are made from a vile compound of whiskey
swill, distilled spirits, and chemical abomipa-
tions, and adds 4 And as it is also equally
true of whiskey, what in the name Of good
ness are we all I'd DO for something to drink
It looks as if we are to be driven'to the pump
in spite of us. If the world at large knew of
what villaipous stuffs brandy and wbiskey and
vines aresmade Of, the present crop of drunk
ards would be about the last, or at any rate,
all future crops would be small. Nearly or
quite all the liquors that are retaiIed nowadays
are undoubtedly slow but sure poison, and
to drink them habitually is simply roupda-
bout way of committing suicide, and unless
you guard yourself carefully the way is not SO
very roundabout either"
