Brennan's Torpedo,


A new torpedo has been invented In
Australia, and is thus described Its
motive power is not compressed air,
neither is it contained in the body of
the torpedo. To propel the weapon
through the water at speed of from
fifteen TO twenty knots an hour for
1000 yards, a separate engine. or at
least a special connection with an ex-
, listing one, is necessary. Tnis engine
drives two drums, about three feet in
diameter, with velocity at their peri
pheIies of 100 feet per second. Their
duty is to wind in two fine steel wires
No. Is gauge, the same as used in the
deep-sea sounding apparatus of Sir
William Thompson. The rapid I'M
coiling of these wires from two small
corresponding reels in the belly of the
fish imp rts to them, as may readily
be conceived, an extremely high veloc-
ity. The reels are connected with the
shafts ofthe two propellers which drive
the torpedo through the water. The
propellers work, rs has long beer
known to be necessary to insure
straight running, in opposite direc
lions and both in one line, the shaft OF
one being hollow and containing the
shaft of the other.
AT first sight it would seem as If
hauling torpedo backward by two
wires was curious way speeding it
"full speed ahead" but it is found in
practice that the amount of "dragn Is
SO small, as compared with the power
utilized in spinning the reels that
give motion to the propellers, that it
may be left out of calculation alto,
gether. The steering gear of the
Brennan is an ingenious contrivance
whereby the relative velocities of the
two driving drums, and consequently
of the two propellers, can be varied at
any moment. The perpendicular rzd-
der, which is very sensitive, is reacted
on by the screws, and in this way the
torpedo may be made to follow as tor
tuous path as a figure skater. The
course the torpedo is taking is indica-
ted to the operator by slight steel
telescope mast carrying q pennon,
which, when not in use, is folded
along the back of the torpedo.

At Scotch Graves.

Everybody knows that there is no
service at the grave in Scotland, al
though the clergyman under whom
the deceased "sat" is often, indeed
usually, present. The hats of those in
attendance may be taken off the mo-
ment after they have lowered the
coffin into the grave just for an instant
but even this is not always the case.
This habit of dispensing with religious
exercises had its origin, no doubt, In
the Scotch horror of doing anything
that might give color to the charge
of following the Roman Catholic
fashion of praying for the dead. The
reading of chapter of the Bible and a
short prayer in the house before the
cortege sets out for the ehurch-yard is
the sole religious service, and the pre-
liminaries to this are sometimes of a
kind to raise the idea that care is
taken to disconnect it from the peculiar
circumstances of the occasion. Twenty
years ago L was at funeral In the
country at which the minister and his
colleague of the church to which the
deceased belonged attended. After
the company had assembled some de-
canters of wine and tray with cake
were brought in and set upon the
table. The daughter of the deceased,
herself cIergyman's wife, then sug-
gested that the senior minister
should ask blessing" The request
served as an excuse for long prayer
appropriate to the circumstances of
the occasion which had brought US
together, and after it was over cake
and wine were handed round. Then
request was made that the junior
clergyman SHOULD return thanks"
and he readily enough INDUCED in q
prayer, ia which he gathered up the
fragments suitable to the circum-
stances which his colleague had omit
ted, and that was the whole religious
service-simply grace before and
after meat.

The Proper Time for Work.

The habit of writing and reading
late in the day and far into the night.
says The Lancet, ''for the sake CT
quiet" is one of the most mischieyous
to which a man of mind can addict
himself. The feeling of tranquility
which comes over the busy and active
man about 1890 or II o'clock ought not
to be regarded as an incentive to work.
1t is, in fact, the effect of a lowering
OF vitality consequent on the exhaus-
ton of the physical sense. Nature
wants and calls for physiological rest.
Instead of complying with her reason

but not half so well as if it had been
performed with the vigor of a refreshed
brain working in health from proper
sleep. Remotely, or later on comes
the penalty to be paid for unnatural
exertion that is energy wrung from
exhausted or weary nerve centres
under pressure. This penalty takes
the form of nervousness" perhaps

tea or coffee. The sequel need not be
followed. Night work during student
life and in after years is the fruitful
cause of much unexplained, though
by no means inexplicable, suffering,
for which it is difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to find remedy. Surely morn
ing is the time for work, when the
whole body is rested, the brain relieved
from its tension, and mind power at it's

out the restoardtiOfas are very cheap.
A substantial dinner with beer can be
had for fifteen pence and in the brau'

Schooling is as cheap as in Belgium,
and better, for the disposition of Ger
man youth is studieus, aud the pro-
fessors are stimulated by the assiduity
aud sharpness of their pupils. No
English boy educated at German
school is likely to come home Ounce.
These are the advantages of Ger
many; but the country of course has
its drawbacks from the English point
of view, although these may be less
discernible to our countrymen who in
habit the Fatherland than to their
friends at home who notice their
peculiarities when they have returned
from it. German s.. oeling tends to
convert an English boy into a very
unpleasant species OF young prig, con-
ceited and pragmatical while it
makes a girl tame and dreamy. The
dreamy propensities of German mai.
denhood are counteractel by the hard
labor they perform among the dish
cloLts and saucepans of the paternal
kitchen; but as English girls seldom
take kindly to culinary tasks, the sem
timentalism they acquire at German
schools has no checks. Add to this,
that German ladies have no taste in
dress and set sad examples of owdi-
ness to the girls who live among them.
1t would be agreeable to be able to say
that the German matron, when she
has helped to dish up the family din
ner, sits down cool and smart, with
her hair neatly dressed, to do the
honors of her own table; but the truth
is, she sits down looking hot and I'M
tidy. She may talk finely about Gull
ture, but her gown is a very uncul-
tured affair; she may play exquisitely
on the piano, but it will be grief to
watch her coarse red hands moving
over the keys she may waltz to per-
fiction, but the sight of her large ILL
shot feet will be enough to make a
sensitive man sit down in corner
and sigh. The hest corrective to a
girls education in Germany would be
years finishing in France.

which is ornamented to an extent that
would have seemed incredible to the
railroad men of Stephenson's time.
Handsome oil paintings decorate the
SIDES of the exterior, and numerous
cOnveniences and luxuries are so ar
ranged that Mr.. Vanderbilt, while
rapidly passing over the lines of his
various railroads, may enjoy even
greater facilities than those afforded
by the hotels of New York. Some
time since he invited some of his
friends to accompany him on a jour
ney over the lines he controls. Leav-
ing New York at about eight O'Clock
in the morning the Vanderbilt reached
Toledo, distance of 1914 miles, after
ten o'clock at night, frequently rum
ming so miles an hour, and sometimes
making mile minute. The car is
so well made, however, that no discom-
fort attended this rapid movement,
and the guests did not feel as if they
were travelling at an unusual late of
speed. 1t is noticeable that the Van
deIbilt is mounted on paper Car wheels,
and the New York Central shops have
good reason to be proud of the excel
lent workmanship displayed in its
construction.

Elaborate stenclling does much to inn

numerous windows and mirrors are
provided. Ia addition to the main
saloon there is a pantry, toilet room,
kitchen, bed room, and bath room.
Refrigerators under the car facilitate
the conveyance of ice, milk, and other
perishable articles.
Jay Gould's private car, the Convoy,

dore Garrison, is said to be the least
ornate of all the presidents cars rum

fashioned Pullman car, subjected,
however, to some alterations. The
apartments, like the windows, are
small, but convenient. There is a
kitchen, stewards and cooks room,

walls, and the apartments are taste
fully finished in dark wood.
President Baldwin, of the Louisville

Humors of the Academy.

'"The Academy" says d'Alembert,
sis the object of the secret or avowed
ambition of all men of letters, OF those
even who have made good or bad cpl
grams at It's expense, epigrams of
which it would be deprived if a place
in it was less sought after" M. Max
ime du Camp, now member of the
Academy, is living example Of the
truth of this statement, for no one
has more bitterly satirized the Immor-
tails than he. Formerly the Academy
used to offer its auteuils to distin-
guished persons, but at present mem.
bership is granted only after a formal
demand has been made by the candi-
date, and even then he has to run the
chances of ballot. This change dates
from the publication of the translation
of the Confessions of st. Augustin, !"
by Arnauld d'Andilly. The Academy
charmed by the beauty of the work,
offered the translator seat In their
midst. He thanked them, and smi-
lingly remarked: "Have we not an
academy at Port Royal ?" The men,
bers of the Academy after that made a
rule that they would never again So
licit anyone, but must be solicited
themselves. That rule has excluded
many remarkable man from the il
lustrious body. Louis Blanc is a hv-
ing instance, and Mably dead one.
The latter, when asked why he did
not become candidate, replied: of
I we're in the Academy, people might
ask: why is he in it?' l prefer that
they should ask: why is he not in
it ?" The epigrams made against the
Academy are numberless. Pavilion,
in letter to Furetiere, writes 81 was

M. Racine. / saw eleven persons
there. One was listening, another
sleeping, three others were quarrelling,
another three went away without
speaking one word" After his recep-
ton at the Academy, Fontenelle re-
marked: 'There are now only thirty
nine persons in France who have more
wit that l." 1t was the same Fonte
neile who observed "If we are thirty
nine in number, people go on their
knees to us; when we are forty they
make game of u.s."
1t was bon mot which excluded
the Able Raynal from the Academy.
He was pushing his way into the
Palais de PInstitut amidst dense
crowd, to be present at the reception of
very mediocre author. "It strikes
me-" he cried, "that it is more diff.
cult to get into this place than to be
received in it," Piron also was kept
out for his famous premature epitaph /:
Cf-gtt Pirosa, qut ne fit rie7,
Pas meme Academicien.
On another occasion, Piron, passing
in front of the Institut, remarked to a
friend: "There are forty of them in
there, qai ont de pesprit consnse qua
tre." 1t was Piron, too, who main
tanned that a newly received Academi-
clans discourse should consist of no
more than three words: "Messieurs,

rector ought to reply: II mig q prs
