The CONSERVATION an Owl Made.

The action of the Washington mon
ument is watched most carefully and
its every movement registered. Two
plummets are suspended in its inside,
one from height of 200 feet and the
other from height of $50 feet. The
movements of these are compared
many times day. The movement of
one should be about one and one-half
times that of the other if there were
no irregular internal movement on the
part Of the structure But the regis
ter shows that the movement is irreg-
ular in both direction and in size
Sometimes the plummets move i'll OPP
posite directions and sometimes in the
same. Sometimes the top moves a
little, but its whole sway since the
foundation was strengthened has been
only one-quarter of an inch. All of
these movements are very slight, and
can only be detected with a micro
scope. The longer plummet line is en-
cased in a wooden box, to prevent the
atmosphere having any effect upon it,
and since the finding that the spiders
had once drawn the line out of the
perpendicular, careful investigation
is made daily. to see that the lines are
not influenced by outside causes.
Once, when great CONSERVATION was
caused by the irregularity of the line,
it was found that an owl was perched
upon the top of the line. 1t was
caught, killed, stuffed and given to
Mrs. Hayes, and it is now probably on
exhibition at Fremont.

A Queer Tree.
thetic.

The queerest of trees must be the
baobab, or monkey bread. 1t grows
to the height of forty feet, "but its
girth is entirely out of proportion to
its height, some trees being thirty feet
in diameter. An old baobab in Afri-
ca is, then, more like a forest than a
single tree. Their age is incalculable.
Humboldt considers them as "the old
est living organic monuments of our
planet" Some trees are believed to be
5000 years old. You can cut good
sized room into the trunk of baobab,
with comfortable accommodations for
thirty men, and the tree lives on and
fourishes. 1t produces fruit about a
foot long, which is edible. AS an ex-
ample of slow growth in England, a
baobab at Kew, though more than
eighty years old, has only attained
height of four and a half feet. A kin
dred species of the African baobab
grows in Australia. They have been
measured, being thirty feet high, with
girth of eighty-fve feet.

TOrnedO Warfare.

Torpedo attack in warfare is receiv.
ing pretty close study abroad, and
English authorities are viewing the
subject in almost every possible light.
Altogether, it seems that the attack
has considerably the best of TIE de-
fense in this case, for, after summing
up all the known methods of resisting
torpedo beat attacks, there seems to
be comparatively little comfort to be
gained. Torpedo nettings. the use of
torpedoes from the ship which is at
tackled, machine guns and direct fire
of large artillery are all considered,
and in each case the verdict has been
there is more uncertainty than is de-
sirable. The fast torpedo boats, capa-
BILE of discharging either long project
lies or torpedoes, having enormous
bursting charges are decided ugly GUS
toners, and no certain way has so far
been suggested ny which their attacks
may be diverted. 1t is all the more
unsatisfactory because the small tor
pedo boats can easily discharge such
missiles at speed considerably great
er than that of the fastest iron-clads
now ahoat, many of them being able
to keep a speed of twenty miles an
hour for more than an hour at a time,
while but few, if any of the iron-clads
will be able to make anything like
that speed after having been at sea
two or three months. The final out
come of all the suggestions seems to
be that Gatling guns of one-inch bore
are. so far as known, the most effect
i've weapon against torpedo boat.
