How to Furnish q House.

From William Morris Lecture on Art.
Believe me, if we want art to begin at
homie, as, It must, We must clear our
houses Of suipsrfuitiss that are forever
in our way; CONVENTIONAL comforts that
are no real, comforts. and do but make
work for servants and doctors; if you
want a golden rule that will ft every
body, this is it: Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be USE
full, or believe to be beneficial. And if
we apply that rule strictly We shall in
the first place show the builders, and
such like servants of the public, what
we really want-we shall create de.
mand for real art, as the phrase goes;
and, in the second place, we shall surely
have Wof6 money to pay for decent
homes.

Food for Animals.
A farmer should always remember
that it is not the amount of food which
goes into an animals stomach that
makes the largest gain; but what it can
entirely digest and assimilate. These
differences are so great that experiments
in feeding can never be made infallible
tests in the values of food, or Of different
breeds OF animals for fattening. or, in.
deed, of classes of animals OF the same
breed. AS an illustration of this point,
one calf may consume quart of]inseed-
oil meal and wheat ,nidd]ing and be in
perfect health; while smother of the
same age, on this amount of food, would
have scours; whereas if this kind of food
was reduced to one-half or one e-fourth
the amount, it would do we'll. The
same law will apply with equal force to
young pigs or lambs, and also to full
grown naifimals.-Writer in Rural New
Yorker.

Repairing a Lofty lightning Rod.

Quite q crowd collected in the neigh

yesterday shortly after midday, and the
gaze of each and every one was direct
ed heavenward. Following the line of
their observations, two figures could be
seen on the top of the shot tower. The

increased momentarily, and from many
windows in the lower section of the city
which commanded view of the lofty
elevation curious persons gazed upon
the two figures. Presently both disap-
peared inside of the tower, and the
show was over. An American man
went over to the tower and ascertained
that Mr.. August L. Eicke, in company
with q colored man, one of his en-
ployes, had been busy fixing up the
iightning-rod attached to the tower, and
doing similar lofty work. Mr.. Eicke

Captain Ericsson's Torp,do-Boat, the De-
stroyer.

stroyer.
The New York Times says that what
looked like long black box, tapering
at both ends, with lead-colored box
on top of it and black smoke-stack
running up through the middle, lay at
the New York wharf. 1t was Captain
John Ericssons torpedo boat Destroyer,
which the inventor thinks, will destroy
vessels that are impregnable to shot
thrown against their sides. In the gun,
which pointed out at the bow, about
eight feet below the surface of the wa
ter, was long steel cylinder. This
was the projectile which in war should
be supplied with torpedo at the conf
cal-shaped tip, to explode on striking
the side of ship and blow her to pieces.
In the experiments q net will be low
cred into the sea to serve as target and
to be fired at at distances of from 800
TO 500 feet. On the bow OF the little
craft, which was almost submerged,
were two wooden floats to support the
net in the water. The projectiles are
hollow and made so that they will float.
The tendency to rise is so carefully ad-
justed as not to interfere with the flight
under tho water or to destroy the aim.
They are expected to come to the sur
face about 700 feet from the vessel, and
they will pursue q perfectly horizontal
course for 500 feet at least. They will
travel the first 800 feet in three seconds,
or little less. They weigh 1900 pounds
each. In the experiments there will be
no occasion to use the torpedoes. The
object will be to test the distance of
flight and the accuracy of aim. The
experiments heretofore have been con-
Quoted in still water, and the firing off
Sandy Hook will be the first deep sea
practice. The Destroyer has attained a
speed of seventeen knots an hour, and
her fullest capacity has not been reach
ed. Although her hull proper is almost
entirely under water, she is seawOrthy,
for everything can be battened down
and no water can get into her. Blowers
ventilate the boat perfectly. All her
working apparatus is below water, and
it would be next to impossible to dis
able her in an engagement. If the iron
house built on top of her and her smoke
stack were knocked off entirely it would
make no difference. She would be as
serviceable as ever. A steel plate 10
inches in thickness is set in front of the
pilots position to defect balls if they
should strike there. The pilot is entire
ly surrounded by iron-work, and looks
out through a small hole on level with
his eyes to get his bearings. He can
touch off the gun when he goes in exact
range, and Immediately back off to
safety. There is dummy plug at the
opening in the boat where the proiectile
goes out. This is shot away with the
projectile, and valve closes over the
hole to keep out the water. Only
enough water to fill the gun can get in
anyway, and this can be quickly pump
ed out by steam siphon. So there is
no danger from this source. There is
no room to spare on the boat, but suffi-
cient for the uses required. The De-
stroyer is the only craft that shoots a
torpedo under water.
