Iron-Clads and TOrpedOes.

1t is pretty certain now that the con-
test between monster guns and armor
plates is drawing near its end, and that
victory will declare for the guns. While
the limit of size for cannon has not yet
been reached that of the thickness and
consequent weight of armor for seagoing
war vessels certainly has. In the course
of time it will be discovered that the ire
mendous shock transmitted to ship by
by the firing Of her enormous gun or
guns will compel new system OF con-
structon adapted to Withstand it. Con-
sidering this and the immense penetra-
tive power of proieclileS over the resist
ance offered by armor and the new models
necessary for the carriage of great guns
the iron clads of to-day will sson be as
obsolete as the Roman galley propelled
by oars With this prospect Ill the near
future the nations like the United states
that now have no iron-clad fleets must be
congratulated, for their money viii be eX-
pended, when necessary, on the lloatng
gun.carriages that will supersede the war
ships OF to-day. We do not hesitate to
predict that naval warfare must in time
be conducted practically according TO
the same tactics as now govern heid'
artillery in action. The gun-ship9 mus,

to supply them. :.
But another element of destruction IN
war threatens the whole iron-clad system
and must revolutionize naval construc,

The Sahara Canal.

An article in the last number Of the
Scientific American, Land below tie
Level of the Ocean," treats Of the
scheme to convert the desert Of Sahara
into an inland sea by cutting Il canal to
it from the ocean. The article gives
large figures and suggests some marvellous
results:
1T should be considered that this
large inland lake, if once established,
would have no fresh water supply by
rivers; but the sea water would rush
in Through the channel, to make up for
the evaporation, which we may safely set
down at 200 pounds of water per year
for every square foot. This would lower
the level twenty feet per year, which is
quarter of the whole quantity OF the
lake. This, for whole surface of 4 OOO,.
coo square miles, or 100 900, GOO 600
600 square feet, gives 1000, 100000, 600,
600 cubic feet of water to be replaced
annually from the ocean, or nearly
5000, 600, 600 600 cubic feet per day, or
2j0,OOO coo, 900 cubic feet per hour, or

Ions pcr second. As the German Rhine
carries only 100000 gallons OF water
per second, on an average, the channel
bringing the supply to the desert OF
Sahara from the ocean would have to
carry Ms much water as is carried by
525 rivers like the Rhine and from the
salt water only pure water would be

The London Times states that the con-

forty.fve hundred infantry, one thousand
cavalry and five hundred artillerymen, with
the necessary cannon. The cavalry and ar
tillery are unprovded with horses. The
kbediye also sends one hundred thousand

saws: Great uneasiness is felt here relative
to the attitude af Seryia. Everybody is pre-.
pared for occupation ii necessary. The par.

The hostiles are about one hundred strong,

A telegram from Fort Clark to the

tonary body crossed the river and attacked
the government soldiers, killing several and
woundng many, and then returned to the

WASHINGTON.

James Russell Lowell has accepted
the Spanish mission and will soon sail for
his post.
The treasury department has issued
circular saying: "You will exact from
steamboat inspectors strict fidelity to the
true intent and meaning Of the 18th rule and
the statute on which it is founded. The
duty is enjoned upon inspectors of frequent
visits to excursion steamers in order to have
personal knowledge that the equipments are
kept up to the original requirements, and
that the hull and boilers are entirely safe.
The register of the treasury recently
applied to the treasurer to subscribe in his
individual behalf for a 81 600 bond OF the
new four per cents but was refused, under
the law, which provides that no person ap.
pointed to the office of secretary, first comp.
troller, first auditor of the treasury, or reg
lister, should be concerned in the purchase
or disposal of any public securities of the
United States. The statute makes it "a mis-
demeanor for any clerk to carry on any
trade or business in funds of the United
States. The act in question is an old statute
of 1882 in the original organization of the
treasury department, and has heretofore
either been disregarded or construed into
prosecution of business in state or United
States bonds.

Steam Engines.

The first steam engine was introduced
into France in 1889. On account OF the
revolution and the consequent check OF
industrial enterprise, the manufacture
of steam engines by French workmen
did not assume much importance until
1924. The number of stationary had
increased in 1852 TO 5000, representing
10 ,OO9 horse power; in 1863 TO 22,6OO,
representing $4,000 registered horse
power; aud now they represent 100000
registered, or 100000 actual horse
power, doing the work Of 81 900, 600 men
or nearly ten times the available me-
chanical industrial population OF the
country. In 1888 the cost OF manual na
labor in manufactured poOducts was 6o
per cent. Now their proportions are
reversed, the annual production oeihs
about II, OOO, 900, GOO, francs. l nna e00'

A Remarkable FOOd-Prcscryatiyc.

A practical physician-Dr. J. W. Dav-
export, of Dallas, Texas--has obtained IL
patent which promi'es to be of great
usefulness. 1t is simply a fluid for keep
ing all kinds of fruits, vegetables and
meats, fresh and sweet. The aim of the
chemist has been to discover the ingre-
dents of d pickle which would arrest the
process of decomposition and extinguish
the germ of decay of all animal and vcge-
table substances without impairing their
flavor or imparting TO them any injurious
effect. 1t is simply pickle OF the NEST
inexpensive sort, costing less than brine
or vinegar, in which any meat or vege
table may he kept in open vessels, sub
merged for months, and, when taken out,
will be found as pure and fresh as when
the vegetables came from the garden or
the meat from the butchers stall. This
pickle may be furnished and prepared at
cost of four cents per barrel. The
pickle is so nearly tasteless and palatable
as to demonstrate its nervousness, and
yet, from the specimen we saw yesterday,
green corn which had been immersed in
it for twelve mon hs, when boiled, could
not be distinguished from the corn which
had been gathered that morning. Nut.
ton and pork-chops, and even fat paba
bottles, placed in this pickle weeks ago
when subjected to heat, had preserved
all their original freshness and tlavOr.--
