The startling discovery that the averages OF
the bovs who were examined for admission to
the CITY College were much below those of
the GIRLS examined for the Normal College,
was received with dismay by the male portion
of the human race in this vicinity. Various
able explanations Of this distressing state of
things are given elsewhere. They go to show
that the examiners, knowing beforehand by in
tuition the gigantic intellectS OF the boys, made
the;r questions very hard, and III their ex-
cessive good opinion overdid ii, while the
ouestiops for the girls were made compare

can congratulate himself that his status a

Never were such magnificent and costly
structures in co lrse of erection ut New
York. The taste of New York's rich men
in the manner of house decoration. out
side us well us inside, grows more luxuri-
Gus every year. Some are not satisfied
with American work or American matcri
al. but must have both from abroad
They actually insist upon having men
brought over from Europe to carve the
stone traceries and figures on their housr
fronts. A magnificent building at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Sixty ninth
street is making very slow progress on
this account. Every figure must be cut by
imported workmen. and as it takes time
to get men from the other side, and they
don't always suit when they come, there
is, of course, much delay with the work.
1t is the same case with the costly new
Vanderbilt buildings. The ornamental
work must wait TIL "artists" from Europe
are ready to do it. In addition to the three
Vanderbilt houses, there are new building

ERICsSoN's TORPEDO GUN is a formid.

ERICsSON's TORPEDO GUN is a formid-
able application of the principle of the
ordinary shell.guu. The new torpedo
boat is IL long, narrow, armor- plated turtle
backed, mastless vessel, sunk nearly to the
water-line. Its armament consists of II
single bOw-gun, seven feet under water,
of l6 incheS caibre, made of wrought iron
hoped with steel From this gun is fired
with Il charge of gun-powder what is
called torpedo, but which it is simpler to
consider shell, charged with 250 pounds
of dynamite. This shell leaves the gun
at the extremely low initial velocity of
$50 feet second, one tenth the velocity of
the shot from rihed cannon, and about
the speed of IN arrow. The range of such
IL shot is, of course, low, but the torpedo.
boat is expected to run up to 400 or 500
feet of the iron clad it is attacking, point

from the broadside Of m odern iron clad
IS secured by its speed, its small exposure,
and its armor-plating-l6 inches thick
over its low deck. Any vessel struck with
a projectie containing $50 pounds OF
dynamite will be doomed. No iron claI
in the world could stand such mine, and,
at the pont-blank range proposed, hitting
the hull of II war vessel will be easy. The
great inventor has crowded his torpedo.

nation like our own, chiefly anxious to
defend long coast line.
