after the "fins" were let go. Again
and again was the test applied until
it was fairly decided that the intro
duction of the brake in no way
affected the construction of the
vessel nor damaged it in any manner.
Mr.. McAdams, who was on board
the city Point, then ordered the
engineer to start his vessel, let go
the fins and keep up his steam, to
see if the vessel would go forward.
But with all the force applied the
steamer refused to bulge, and stuck
like rock in the water. The in
vention consists of pair of iron
shutters or fins, the area of which
is in direct ratio with the size of the
ship, and hinged one Oh each side of
the stern post. They shut close to
the side Of the vessel and are kept
SO by simple apparatus on deck
which is connected with the pilot
house. When the signal is given to
''let CO." the stays connected with
the fins allow them to open at right
angles and cause the stoppage of
the vessel almost instantly. The
water being yielding body, acts as
a spring or cushion and none of that
Earring or shock is experienced such
as is felt on railroad when the
brakes are applied. In the opinion
of the inventor, there is no excuse
for collision with such device.
Many of the collision reported, on
investigation, showed that the pilot
had over five minutes warning to
allay the speed of his vessel and
avert disaster, but was unable to dc
so in that time. The present con-
trivance is guaranteed to stop any
vessel, no matter what size or rate
of speed, inside her own length at
least, and yesterdays experience
certainly proved the truth Of the in
ventor's plea.

himf Well, the truth is about this.
The late Khedive, Ismail, was . prefli-
gate, who sto,e all the money he could
wiring from the peasantry of bis country
by enormous taxation. and when this was
gone borrowed recklessly and at ruinous-
ly usurious rates from the capitalists OF
England and France, pledging the reve-
nues of his country for payment The
English and French cspitalnt t. took tie
risks for the large profits promised. But
lsmail had undertaken more than he
could accomplish. He had already i'm
poverished his country, and he could not
even pay the interest on his debts
The 6hylocks who had supplied
him with their moneys appealed to their
governments, and these responded very
readily. They interviewed and deposed
Ismail and set up the present Khedive
under an arrangement that the taxes col
lected in Egypt should be paid into
English and French hands, for the bene-
fit of Ismail's creditors. In all this ar
rangement the Egyptian people were not
consulted and had no voice. Their
Khedive had sold them into slavery to
the British and French money-lenders,
and their new masters were strong
enough to enforce the contract and COM
pei tie submission of the chattels mort
gagged to them. Against this Arab and
the Egyptian people are in rebellion. 1t
may be that Arab and his followers are
| a gang of rascals, whose rights neither
their Khedive nor the English govern
ment should respect. But they are no
worse than Ismsil, who mortgaged them
to the Shylocks of England, nor the
money lenders who could trade on the
very lives of an oppressed and suffering
people. The shame Is that the English
government could share the odium of
such transaction by seeking to enforce it.

SENATOR VOORHEES, is not alone among
the Democrats of the Senate who favor a
tariff for protection. He says he IS more
or less sustained in his position by Sena-
tors Groome and German, of Maryland;
Davis and Camden, of West Virginia;
Brown, of Georgia; Harris, of Tennessee;
Morgan, of Alabams, and one or two
others. This would imply serious break
in the Deyocrstic ranks which marched
under the banner of "a tariff for revenue
only" during the last campaign.

ALEXANDRIA, the Egyptian city bonn
barded by the English fleet, and plum
dered and nearly destroyed by the Bed
ouin rabble, is situated at the mouth OF
the Nile, and was one of the most famous
cities of antiquity. 1t was founded by
Alexander the Great 332 years before the
birth of Christ, and soon become the
center of vast trade and q great seat of
learning. In size, magni6cence and pop
ulation it rivalled, in its better days, I'M
perial Rome, and in some things even ex-
celled that magnificent metropolis 1t
was more cosmopolitan than any other OF
the ancient cities, for here were gathered
not only the Egyptian, but Greek and
Roman and Jew, viii their PHILOSOPHERS,
their mysticisms and their commerce. 1t
was at this city the scriptures were first
given to the heather in their Septusgint
version, and here christianity was early
and strongly established amid the fol-
lowers of Drama, and the disciples of
Zoroaster. About half a century before
the Christian era, Roman attack on the
city, led by Julius Caesar, caused great
destruction to its noble edihces, and q
few years later it was conquered and be-
came subject to Roman rule. With their
usual rapacity the Romans despoiled the
city, carrying many of its most precious
works to Rome; but not until the seat of
empire was established st Constantinople
did its greatness seriously decline.
The establishment of Cairo IS the cap
isalof Egypt in oco greatly lessened The
iur,76rtance of Alexandria, sadf afser
ward, in 1897, when the track of com
merce to India and the East turned by
the way Of the Cape of Good Hope, its
decline became rapid and complete, and
1t has now long been mass of ruins,
with little left to recall its ancient great
ness. PompeY's pillar and Cleopatra's
needles were. long its remaining orna-
ments, but even these have not been re-
spected by the rulers of this ancient city.
One of the needles was presented to the
British Museum, and the other now
graces Central Park, New York. 1t is,
then, but mass of ruins, with no re-
mains of its former msgnIacence, that
the British fleet fired upon the other day,

signed to the flames What England viii

Pail Mall Gazette.
1t is announced that the engineer who
severed the Suez Ithmus is TO be taken
next week to see the boring BY which it is
hoped to create an underground isthmus
connecting England with France. The
visit of NJ. de Lesseps to Sir E. Wstkin
will no doubt provoke many reflections
as to the Absurdity of the fears excited
by the Suez canal in order to point 9
moral nearer home. But is it not posi-
BILE to draw q moral the other wsya No
doubt the 6uez canal is a great conven-
fence. but lust at present we hardly need
to be reminded how enormously it has
increased the perplexities and difficulties
of English policy in the East. Material
advantages in the shape of rapid COM
munication are sometimes apt to entail
very serious political dangers, but that,
of course, does not prove that Lord
Palmersson was right in opposing the
canal.

OBITUARY.


Bishop Livi Scott, senior Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, died at his
home near o iessa, Del Thursday. he
had been failing for some months The
deceased was q native of Delaware. and
was born October II, 1902 He entered
the ministry without Q regular collegiate
education, but had SO well improved his
opportunities for study that when nomi
mated. in 1910. for the position of Prln
cipal of the Dickir On Grammar School,
at Cai lisle, Ps., he was prepared to I'LL II
with credit bosh to himself and the in
sti u,iun. In this position ne remained
three years when he returned to the
active work of the ministry. He
was for several years q Presiding
Elder, and met with marked success in
the pulpit and as an executive. At the
general conference of 1s4S, at Pittsburg,
of which he was member, he was elect
ed agent of the New York Book Concern
The ability with which he filed his posi-
ton added to b.. fame, and the confer
ence of 1852, held at Boston. honored
him by an election to the Episcopacy,
giving him the highest vote of the four
bishops then chosen. In the fall of 1852
he visited the Methodist mission in AT
RIGA, returning the next spring. The At
rican climate seriously affected his
health and for years he was not only
prevented from rendering full service,
bu. it was feared he would not recover.
In his prime Bishop Scott was q good.
though never brilliant preacher. His
sermons were distinguished for their
strong thoughts and chaste language
He WAS deeply piOus man, and was
held in affectionate regard by the minis
try throughout the church, hundreds OF
whom he ordained to their work. In
person he was of medium size with
strongly marked features, placid coun
tenance, lips expressive of irmness and
| benignity, and hair thinned and whiten-
ed with age. neatly combed back from
his face and falling over his neck. His
voice was sweet and clear in his prime,
but not strong; but he was able to fill
with it the largest church. He was made
Master of Arts by Wesleyan University,
Middletown, Connecticut. and Doctor OF
Divinity by Delaware College.

Mr., Voorhees, Protection Speech.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Mr. Morrison
of Illinois heard part of Senator Voor-
hees' speech in the Senate. 1t did not
convert him, however. He said that If
the issue was ever fairly pr sented to the
country, the people would be found on
the side of free trade. He claimed that
it was sprung upon them the last time,
and the manufacturers who were Demo
Gratis went over to the protection side
and voted the Republican ticket.
Senator Morrill, said VOORHEES, made q
good Republican speech, and he would
find that the country would indorse
most of it. Senator Harrison compli-
mented Voorhees,, and Senator Hawley ex-
pressed his pleasure at the Senator'S out

the issue will be whether the faithful VIII

Where a House-F!y Breeds.

As ''ay time" approaches every
housekeeper wonders where and
how the increasing swarms of pests
multiply SO rapidly.
The eggs, mere whitish specks to
the unaided eve, are laid in little
agglutinated piles in warm manure
or in decomposing vegetation, espe-
cially that about our stable and
barn yards. From so TO 100 are
laid at a time, and probably at
three or four different intervals by
the same fly, though on this point
we have no exact data. Within
twenty-four hours in summer, they
hatch into footless maggots, which,
after rioting in filth till their tender
skins seem ready to burst from re-
pletition, become fulfilled in less
than a week, and descending into
the earth, or sheltering under some
old board, contract to brown, shin
ing objects, rounded at both ends,
and technically known as pupia.
Within the darknese OF this harden
ed skin profound changes rapidly
take place, and the insect passes
through the pupa to the perfect
state, and finally. in about FIVE days,
the anterior end of the puparinm is
pushed of, and the fly quickly
crawls ont. At first its parts are
pale and soft, and its wings are
crumpled and useless, but they
soon expand, and suddenly, wi tn
out practice or teaching, the new
fly wings its way to your table to
mock your displeasure-to share
your repast. The length of time
required from Matching to maturi-
ty varies with the season and tenn
perature, but will not exceed ten
days in midsummer, while the life
of the perfect. fly lasts but three
weeks at the same season. As cold
weather approaches propagation
ceases, and the old flies perish. A
few of the more vigorous females,
retreat TO some nook or Granny,
where in state of torpor they sur
vive until the ensuing season-links
'twixt the summer gone by and
to come. The insect may also hi
bernate in the pupa state in the
ground. In rooms kept continuous
ly warm, OF in more southern lati-
tudes, the fly remains active all
winter and our palace sleeping cars
bring them daily to US from Florida
during the coolest months of the
year.
