How TOrpedOes Are Made.

A New York Sun reporter has been
investigating the manner in which
torpedoes are made. We quote from
his account:
The old man led the way upstairs,
stepping briskly from step to step, and
talking constantly of the torpedoes.
On the top floor number of other
children were seen working as rapidly
as those on the floor below. In the
middle of the floor was huge pile of
small pebbles or grit. A stalwart and
motherly looking forewoman had the
children in charge. a batch of five or
six little ones sat on low stools on the
floor under the skylight. Each held in
her lap board about two feet long by
one foot wide. In this board, as in
those seen below, were number of
indentures about quarter of an inch
wide and of the same depth. Each
child was also supplied with pieces of
tissue paper about an inch and half
square, These sheets of tissue paper
rested on their laps, while the board
was on their knees. They would put
piece of tissue paper over one of the
indentures in the b, ard, and then, with
a rounded stick, would push the
middle of the paper down into the
hole. This made bag of the
little square of tissue paper. When
every hole in the board had been
filled with these bits of tissue paper
punched into the form of bags, the
board was handed over to the next
little girl, who hal long quill fllei
with the illuminate. Into each of the
little paper bags she dropped some of
the illuminate and then passed the
board over to another little girl. This
one sat near the pile of pebbles, from
which she filled up every one of the
tissue paper bags. Then she hanGed
the board to fourth little girl, who
had at her side a little pot of paste.
This one constantly touched her finger to
the paste and then TWISTED the tops of
the tissue paper bags together. When
the little tissue paper bags were pulled
out they were perfect torpedoes of the
regulation Fourth of July pattern.
Most of those made were of the usual
size-about as big as an ordinary
marble. There were other and larger
ones made in special instances.
"How many torpedoes can four Of
these children make in day?' asked
the reporter.
1T depends entirely upon their in
dustry." said the old man, looking at
the children and speaking in loud
tone. IF they work as hard as they
should they can easily turn out $4,000
a day; otherwise they will drop as low
as 10000. After the children finish
them they are packed in sawdust by
girls on the lower floor. Then they
are put into pasteboarl boxes, and the
pasteboard boxes are packed, in turn,
in wooden boxes. Ten thousand are
sold for $3.50"

A Remarkable Well.

The latest and in some respects the
most remarkable curiosity III Texas is
a well from which, without the inter-
vention of any eXtraneouspow what
ever, water is drawn to the surface,
the empty bucket descending while the
full one rises. This beneficent phe-
nomenon is situated at Burkeville and
belongs to Judge M. ID. Hines, who, in
response to inquiries made by S. p.
Hurley, of Franklin, has sent the fol
lowing statement: 81 have to say, in
reply to your inquiry, that the well
you inquire about belongs to me; that
some ten years since it commenced
drawing water-that is, the empty
bucket would GO down and bucket Of
water come up and remain at the top
of the well without any known cause.
This has been kept up ever since at in
tervals. There is no regularity about
it; it will often draw at any hour of
the night as at other times. 1t has
been known to draw three or four
times per day. There seems to be no
difference in it as regards weather or
the seasons of the year. 1t has never
been known to draw up water when
there was water in the top bucket.
There is no cause known for this
strange occurrence. AS to the truth
of the above it can be established be-
yond doubt by the testimony of anum-
Der of persons who have been about
my house outside of my own family"

Strange Suicides.

Here are some curiosities of current
suicides: Magruder killed himself in
Maryland because of grief for his first
wife, though he had taken a second and
entirely worthy one. Marks drowned
himself in a Kansas millpond, the dam
for which he had just built, as the
water proved insufficient to turn the
wheel. Jennie Roberts, of Pennsyl-
vania, flung herself into stream after
being refused parental permission to
go to a ball. Picketts,a member of
the Texas bar, had no desire to live
when he had lost case and been be
rated by the client. Mrs. Jones, of
Maryland, took laudanum because she
could not take money from her hus.
bands cash drawer. Atkinson, of Cal
ifornia, mentally staked his life on his
horse, and forfeited on the conclusion
of the race.

prisoners and taken to the boat Next
day the distllery was easily found and
destroyed. The collins were found to

Too Much Bathing.

There are few greater admirers of
the bath than L myself am. l like al
most every plan of bathing the
exception, probably, OF the Russian
mould ,ik plan Of getting in under the
stove d burying yourself in hot
ashes. have never tried that, but
doubtless it has its advantages-to a
moudiik. However, must say there
is such thing as overriding even the
bath. Although l should wish that
every one in this country were like
myself-amphibious, so that if thrown
into the water he would only ponder,
while quietly swimming out again,
where the nearest place was at which
to procure dry clothes and a cup of
coffee-still, it must be remembered
that men are not manatees. We could
not live most of our time in the water,
like those interesting aquatic animals.
People should neither battle too often
in the day nor remain too long in the
water at time, else they will overdo
it they will have too much of good
thing. The after-effects of the bath
should in all cases be studied, as well
as the state of the general health.
Moreover, the temperature of the
water deserves consideration ; it may
suit some people to break the ice on
their matutinal tub in winter, with a
frozen sponge for mallet, but dash
of warm water is to be recommended
when the mercury crosses the line
thirty-two degrees. One bath in win

MuRDERED HIS SON.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 12.-John B. Hoffman,
a tailor Ii snn at No. 40. Elder street,
fatally shot AZ son Robert, aged twenty
two, at home this morning. Hoffman was
drunk and had a quarrel with his son last
night. This morning he arose early, hid
behind the door till his son started out
to work. when he fired, the ball taking eff
feet in the abdomen. Five years ago
Hoffman killed another son, but was not
convicted. He has escaped.
ST.. LOUIS. Jan. 12-An Irishman known
as drunken Jack Sheehan was locked up
Yesterday afternoon on the charge of hav-
ing murdered his son James, a lad of sew
enteen wears. It seems Sheehan went
home drunk, quarreled with his wife,
drove her out of doors, and is then said by
one of his little children to have struck his
son James, who was lying sick in bed, a
heavy blow on the chest, which shortly
afterwards resulted in death. At all events
the boy died, and the coroner is now in
vestigating the matter. Sheehan denies
striking his boy, or having any trouble
with him. On the contrary, he claims to
have given the boy medicine and other
wise treated him kindly.
MURDERER HANGED.
BEL1Ev1LLE, ILL.,, Jan. 12.-Phillip Mat
thews,aged twenty, was hanged at noon for
the murder of Annie Geyer on the goth of
last May. The execution was in the jail
in the presence of about fifty persons.
Matthews was attended by three ministers
and conducted himself on the scaffold with
great frmness, bidding goodbye to all in
a clear, strong voice. Although the drop
was nearly eight feet his neck was not bro
ken and it was more than twenty minutes
before the physicians decided he was dead.
Matthews was youngGerman desperately
in love with Miss Geyer. He became dis
sipated, and was discarded, and because
the lady would not renew the engagement
he shot her.
