The Torpedo.

A machine has just been patented
which promises to render the torpedo
still more effective. Hitherto there
has always been great element of I'M
certainty in the action of marine ex-
plosives, and not unfrequently they
have completely falsified the calcula-
tions of those who have employed
them. The torpedo has, indeed, some
times proved more destructive to those
who used it than to the enemy against
whom it was directed. The new ma
chine is called the sstorpedo guide, 81
and it is claimed that it can control,
with absolute certainty, the action of
the explosive at a distance of three
miles. As the torpedo is launched on
its errand of destruction a thin in
sulated wire is paid off, and. as the
wire Immediately sinks, communica-
ton can not be destroyed by she
enemy The operator controls the
movements, of the torpedo by trans
hitting negative or positive current
OF electricity, and the guide is so
constructed that the attack can be d.
rected to any given point with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision. Even if the shin
from which the torpedo proceeded were
moving in one direction, and the YES
sci attacked in another, the torpedo
could still be employed, it is stated,
with deadly certainty.-M Y. Post.

Sea island Cotton.

A Charleston merchant says: 1.-THE
long staple cotton raised on the sea
islands of South Carolina seems to be
very little in demand. Few planters
have sold their last years crop. This
class OF cotton was formerly used to
adulterate silk, but all at once the de-
mand ceased and no one is able 10 give
a reason for it. 1t brought forty cents
apound, more than four times as much
as the ordinary cotton, which, by the
new and improved machinery, can be
used for thread and other purposes al
most as well as the long staple. |
don't see what is going to become Of
our sea island planters unless they can
find some new market for their yield
now that the silk manufacturers have
found something cheaper to adulteratO
their goods with. -

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN,
His First and Only Love Affair
and It's Sad Termination.

Mr.. Buchanan was regarded, al
most at the commencement of his
Congressional career, as confirmed
bachelor, his first and Olly love affair
having had sad termination. The
lady's name was Ann Coleman, and
she was the daughter Of proud,
wealthy citizen of Lancaster. In
1920 Mr.. Buchanan was elected to
Congress, and the next long session
was continued far into July, when lie
returned home in the Baltimore
stage, tired and dusty. After he had
washed and changed his clothes he
started out for short stroll in his
dressing-gown and slippers. Miss
Grace lIubley, sister-in-law TO Will
liam Jennings, who resided Oh the
corner of South Queen street, the
terminus of the southwest angle,
happening to be sitting in the parlor
with all the windows open OH ac-
count of the heat, noticing that Mr..
Buchanan had returned, went to the
door, and, passing the compliments
Of the evening, invited him in, with
which he complied, and they seated
themselves by large open window
and engaged IN conversation. Not
more than twenty minutes thereafter
an anonymous note was handed in to
Miss Coleman, stating that Mr.. Blu
chanan was too tired to call on his
atfiamced, but that he could call on
and sit and chat with Miss Hub
ley.
On perusing the note Miss Cole
man was naturally somewhat trou-
bled and her father insisted upon
seeing it. His offended dignity was
at once in arms and within an hour
the daughter was placed in the family
carnage and on the way to Philadel-
phia to visit her sister, Mrs. Judge
Hemhill. Knowing the unrelenting
nature of her father, and probably
feeling hurt at the innuendo thus
anonymously conveyed to her, al
though all intelligent and accomplish
ed young lady and very much at
tached to her betrothed lover, she
became respondent and in her des-
pair took laudanum and was corpse
Oil the day following her reaching
Philadelphia. Mr.. Buchanan re.
quested permission to attend the fu.
neral as chief mourner, but was
rudely refused. Being man
of ardent affection and entirely
devoted to his betrothed, Mr.. Buchan.
ans mind was nearly unhinged al
the sudden calamity which had be-
fallen him, so much so, indeed, that
his friends became uneasy and Judge
Franklin pursuaded him to remain
i'll his family few days. lie never
forgot his early love, so sadly termi.
