The experiments with E~ricsson's nov.
ell torpedo boat, THE DESTROYER" in
New York harbor, seems to be going far
toward providing an effective coast de-
Tense. The plan of attack for this engine
OF destruction Is to run her within 500
feet OF a hostile vessel, which is TO be
shattered below the water line by a shot
from a submarine gun. The recent ex-
periments have proved that the pitching
of the vessel in rough water does not
affect the course of the projectile; that
the conclusion does not damage the
steam connections when the boat is
under full boiler pressure, and that there
is nc danger of premature explosion of
the torpedo when, on being fred, it
aisplaces the valve at the mouth OF the
gun.

Eighth Symphony, he said to himself,

performance, and wants no performance
to enable him to read the score.'' This
is taking things with rather high hand,
but l would have liked him to see lady

tet performance always with the music
in hand. Like Schumann, l thought she
must be good musician, and accidentally

over her shoulder at the book. Behold!
she had totally different quartet before

lesson for me about judging from appear

you hear the bells ringing
