RUSSIAN SUCCESSES,

The war going on between Russia
and Turkey bears similarity, III some
respects, to the late war between the
Northern and Southern States. For
the first year the vantage was with
the South. Dash and enthusiasm bore
the Confederate flag in triumph over
hundred red-stained fields; and the
tide of success, all that year running
in one direction. and rushing onward
with such overwhelming force, inn
pressed many with the conviction
many even who wished we'll to the
Union cause-that the Republic
which the eyes of Washington and
Jefferson had looked upon would soon
pass into history and be reconed
amongst the things of the past.
But something more than dash and
enthusiasm are required in a prolong-
ed war. Dash may surprise garri-
son, and enthusiasm may storm il
fortress and carry it; but when war
settles down to be regular business
when the population grows thin and
the war treasury sinks down-when
the soldiers rations are scarce and
the soldiers pay is regular-when.

MECHANICAL AND SCIENTIFIC,

"A new hypothesis as to the nature
of electricity has been offered by Prof.
Renard, Of Nancy. He considers an
electric current to be produced by
longitudinal motion of the ether par
ticles which, at the same time, have a
general forward motion. When the
molecules OF body are surrounded by
a greater ether atmosphere than the
normal, the body is in that condition
which is called positively electric;
when the ether atmosphere about
each molecule is less than the normal,
the body is negatively electric. NJ.
Renard has sought to explain various
electrical phenomena thus. For ex-
ample, the augmentation of steel
needles by electrical discharges
garding which it has heretofore been
shown that. according to the position
OF the needle, it acts in one direction
or the other.
An ingeniously constructed and
effective steam eXcavator has been in
trOduced on one of the Scotch rail-
ways. In its arrangement, and in the
action of its various parts, this ma
chine is said to resemble somewhat an
inverted umbrella, except that the
connecting bars, representing the ribs
of the umbrella, are swivelled, and
work on points at either end. 1t can
grasp within its gigantic "claws" as
much as three tons of material 1t is
worked by means of an engine of six
teen horsepower, the chain used in the
operation being not less than 345 feet
in length. The cylinders themselves
are immense, and around the cylinder,
on the inner side, weights are placed
to the extent of some 2S0 tons, the OBJ
ject Of arranging this enormous mass
in such a position being to provide
against the probability of the adjacent
ground subsiding to degree which
would be highly dangerous.
The filling up of the SueZ Canal,
which was anticipated by so many
engineers as well us by the great mass
of unpr0feSsional critics, is an event
which fortunately does not seem very
near realization. 1t appears that last
year, between the two seas, only 3D.
700 cubic meters OF stuff were re
moved, and the canal was navigated
with facility by steamers drawing as
much as tWenty-seyen feet, and over
four hundred feet in length. The bed
of salt which forms the bottom of the
Bitter Lakes is gradually dissolying, so
that this portion of the canal is found
to be steadily improved, and thus,
with the increase of vegetation along
the banks of the canal, there is pros
pect Of the production in a not remote
future of a fertile and populous tract
of country out of sandy waste. 1t is,
in a word, one Of the rlost colossal and
successful engineering enterprises OF
modern times. -N. Y. Sun.

We are not sure but the torpedo, that
miSchievous little engine of war
which came into play for the first time
on a grand scale at Hampton Roads
during our civil strife, is destined to
be a blessing in disguise, economically
speaking. 1t certainly will, if it ena-
bles us to dispense with the cumbrous
and expensive ships of war now in
vogue, especially for defensive pur-
poses. Since the close of the American
civil war the torpedo has been the sub
Jet of much scientific investigation,
with view to augmenting its terrible
utility rs an agent of destruction
with what success we shall probably
soon have opportunity to judge from
its practical application to naval OPP
erations on tie Danube and the Black
Sea. AT a moment when there is a
vehement demand for increased Con-
gresSlonal appropriations for the aug
mentatlOn of our naval establishment,
the subject deserves particular alten-
ton.
Ii few torpedoes, judiciously dis
trlbuted along from Sandy Hook TO the
NaWoWs are sufficient to keep at hay
the most powerful naval force that any
foreign enemy could send here, 1t is an
ahSurdity to be drawing on the Treas
ury for money to build war ships,
which would be mpdratively useless,
and the argument Is strengthened 10y
the confidence with which the capa-
bllIties of the torpedo are spoken of if
u hlAsl.J,, llrtulrAr, is 70 -, 4
Of On these points the testimony of
scientific experts is to the point.
In the course of a recent lecture be-
fore the British Society of Arts by a
prominent officer of the British Navy,
Mr. +. |. Reed, we have a description
of some OF these Improvements to
which the torpedo has been subjected
within the few years past with a view
to enhance It's powers of destruction.
As means OF attacking even armored
ships, what Is known as the White
head torpedo does its work with APP
palllng thOroughneSS. 1t delivers its
antagonist most terrible blow; it
moves for the space of some hundreds
of yards with a speed double that of
the fastest ironcladS; its path is so
sure and true that at that distance
second torpedo can be made to pass
through the hole which first has
made; and, whereas, it has been as
sumed that in ordinary conditions
of weather and naval warfare under
steam ship could not have more than
a few feet of her depth below water
attacked, the torpedo has the whole
immersed bottom of the ship exposed
To It's assaults.
In the great iron-clad sultan, for
example, while the side to the depth
OF six feet below the water presents
10 shot and shell an area of less than
1000 square feet, the surface presented
10 torpedo attack IS about ), 900 square
feet. In view of these facts. the con-
cluSlon IS arrived N that, while in eX-

listing ships chain-net projections and
internal subdivisions and notifications
of stowage must be resorted to as far
as possible, and that while also ~
acton such ships must be kept un-
der steam and under helm to the M
most practical extent, as regards tha
future, no more such ships ought n
be built. There are other Consider.
tions, however, no less important r.
bear III mind. Lieut.. Reed say.
a" The serious fact in that torpedo
matter is the cheapness and facilitv
with which the new weapon can he
turned against us. In former DAYS
during all the ages from the invention
of gunpowder down to to-day. in.
creased offensive naval power has only
been obtalnable by increased size Of
gun. which has carried with it a tbon-
sand otherincreaSeS of cost and of diff
iicult,. But the torpedo is weapon
of otfense differing altogether from
gun iIf all these respects; for, although
each torpedo itself costs from e4oO tn
$500, it can be discharged from almost
any ship or boat whatever, and the
fittings for discharging it are of an in
expensive nature. Here, then, we
have every power furnished with the
means of attacking our large war
ships so cheap and SO simple that few
Powers are too impecunious to provide
them on an emergency, while the
larger Powers could, with the financial
means at their disposal, completely
compass and surround our few largest
and finest ships with these agents of
destruction. ~. Y. Bulletin.
