The united states Ahead on Tor pedOes.
 The St. Louis Pest Dispatch, of recent date, has the following in re. gard to experiments with torpedoes
 We don't amount to much as a sea going naval power but when it comes to torpedoes we lead the world. Our school at Newport is constantly developing new and terrible sub ma rine instruments of destruction. Last week experiments were made there with torpedo designed by J. C. Mclean, of the Navy, for blowing up an cnemy's vessel approaching the coast. A launch was sent out by means of electricity, no one being on board, and was made, by the use of one electric wire, to do eight diff. ferent things, among which were to start, stop, back, go to port and star board, and to drop and fire mines and countermines, which were rig ged at the ends of spars placed on each side of the launch's bow. Lieu. tenant Commander Royal B. Brad ford, who was at key board on shore, had perfect control of the launch by the aid of one wire. The electrical part of the experiment was in charge of Lieutenant Commander Caldwell, who was in the electrical building at the torpedo station, was at long distance from the building where the key board was located. Capt. J. 0. Selfridge's de- vice for protecting a ship from an enemy's torpedoes, winch may be planted at the entrance to harbor, was also shown and successfully ex- perimented with. So long as VIC can sit at piano keys on shore and blow up hostile vessels as fast as they heave in sight it is hardly worth while to squander millions in fitting out war ships for the benefit of con. tractors and political thieves.

NITIYITH OF CONGRESSHEN.

During the first forsy-fve Congresses,
all but l42 OF tho 5,237 members were
born in the United Statcs-New York
having 704, Pennsylvania sos, Virginia
532, Massachusetts t39 and Connecticut
$40. Most Of our foreign-born states
men have come from Ireland. England,
Scotland and Germany have followed in
about equal proportions. There have
been two who were born in Bavaria, two
from Bermuda, five from Canada, SEVEN
teen from England, five from Franco,
twelve from Germany, fifty-two from
Ireland, one from Madeira, one from the
Netherlands, one from New Brunswick,
one from Nova Scotia, twenty onc from
Scotland, twofrom Switzerland, four from
Wales, and four from the West indies.
Out Of that long list there have been
SEINE 2,000-consid, rably less than half
who received q classical, collegiate Or
liberal education. 1t has been the Gus
tom, more observed in the Eastern
States than in the West, to send their
Representatives to Congress for long,
continued periods.
From tho colonial days to the present
it has happened that several generations
of the same family have served in one
or both branches Of Congress. The
most notable among these are the
Adamses, Bayards, Breckinridges, Har-
risons, Chambers, Stocktons, Freling-
huysens and Holsters.

How lie Was Hurt,

Those of our readers who have been
t'under fire" will endorse this graphic
narrative of the way shells explode. One
day, down in the Peninsula after Nc
Clellan's battles, wounded negro was
brought into camp. He had been shot
in the leg with a piece Of shell, and waa
really very badly hurt. He was plan
tation negro, and entirely Don-co,nbat-
ant. After he got better he was describ-
ing to the doctor, one afternoon, how he
had been hurt, and did it in this manner:
eye see, boss, was on de ole planta.
ton when dem Yankee gunboats deY
come up de ribber. Ole massa and missis
bad done gone days afore, and we Mig
gers were lef' on de plantation.
i. "When we seed de Yankees a-comin'
up de ribber we all run away an hid in
de woods. By-um-by de boats begun to
shell de woods, an Lor "a massa, what q
noise dey did make!
"Shells as big as -four barrels was
frowd into de wood and knocked de
trees down. 1t was awful hot, tell you,
and thought de world was a-comin' to
de end
ode niggers prayed; but it didn't do
no good, as de Yankees only frowed dc
more shells, and de Lord seemed deaf to
de partitions of de collud persons.
aSome of dem shells would go high
up in de Dir and say, 'Whar is he? Whar
is hep like as eff dey was a-lookin' fo'
somebody.
"Den, by-um-by, dey would say, Il
gee him, l see him. end wild dat, dey
would bust, and all de little pieces go
skirmishing around de woods after de
niger.

4 H.iRBOR IN THEOpEy sUIr


Between the mouth of the Mississippi
and Galveston, about ten or fifteenmiles
TO the southwest of Sabine pass. is a
place in the Gulf of Mexico, which is
commonly called the "Oil Ponds" by
the Captains of the small craft that ply
in that locality. There is no land with
in fifteen miles, and yet such is the
effect of the oil thus cast upon the
waters by the lavish hand of nature that
even in the sevcrest storms the sea in
the Oil Ponds is comparatively smooth,
and SO well is this known that when the
small vessels that trade between Cal.

eighteen feet bs,ow the surface. Nc

SWISS GIRLS HAIR.

Thousands OF girls in Switzerland,
Germany and Norway devote themselves
to the cultivation Of their hair rs reso-
lutely as farmer does his crops. oAcc
a year the merchant, very often an old
woman, arrives in the village, and a
brisk trade is carried on. The Swiss
girls make the most, as nature has be-
slowed OH them an abundantcrop of the
blonde color, which is hardest Of all to
obtain, and the climate is evidently pro-
pitious to its growth. The price OBJ
tanned depends on tho length Of the re-
tlnndant trosses hair eight inches long

cases Of exceptional beauty and thick
ness even $35 an ounce may be realized.

Stained GLASS,

In 1870 there was celebrated OF
Tcgernsec, Bavaria, the 900th annivcr-
sary Of the stained-glass factory there.
For period, dark age in art, the
method of staining was lost, and its
revival is thus explained. An English
man, bargaining at Nuremburg early in
this century for some fragments Of old
stained glass, remarked before one Sieg-
mund Frank, q cabinet varnisher, that
there was fortune for any one who
could revive the lost art. Frank took
the hint, and got the sympathy of the
Government. In 1916 an establishment
was opened at Munich, under Mr..
Ainmuller, who had been associated
with Frank, which has become world
famous. Within recent years England
has rivaled Munich in this art industry.

Second Assembly of Notables. In 1871

OF yorktown, which the English persist
IN calling York Town. In 1776, he sue
