eral days ago that number of children

Torpedo Attacks.
From the Army and Navy Gazet

From the Army and Navy Gazette.
It appears that one of the officers of
Her Majestys ship Garnet is to be
court martialed for allowing Paul
Boyton to surprise themswith sham
attack In New York harbor. He
may, perhaps justify himself by
the evidence afforded by recent exper-
iments with the French Medlterran-
can squadron, that more than ordin>
airy vigilance is required to guard
against surprise by torpedo attack.
Admiral Duperre's feet consisted Of
four ironclads steamng to Toulan.
Signal was made to prepare to receive
an attack of torpedo boats, which left
the fleet to return and effect an attack
under cover Of the night. Warning
was given that the attack was to be
expected after midnight and before
o'clock in the morning. Any IRON
clad which allowed torpedo boat to
approach withia fifty meters without
being recognized and exposed to the
fire of the Hotchkiss guns and Pro-
patchek magazine rifles was to be C On
the most vigilant watch was kept by
all the ships. The night was dark,
but the beams of the electric light
kept searching the surface of the sea
in all directions. The rifemen and
cannoneers were on the alert. Spy
glasses swept every inch of the sea lit
by the electric light. Of sudden
three little red lanterns were hoisted
simultaneously within forty meters
of the squadron. It was the signal of
the three torpedo boats which had
successfully passed the zone of obser-
walton without discovery, and had
penetrated to a point which assured
the destruction of every vessel of Adj
miral Duperre's fleet On previous
occasion at Cherbourg q similar ex~
pertinent resulted in the torpedo boat
running alongside its supposed victim
and the officer in charge springing Ga
the deck OF the latter before even it's
proximity had been suspected.

by the hat-makers for the summers
trade. There is also an immense pro-
duction in China of the same article,
which has existed for many years
past; the price there, however, mostly
rules considerably lower than here,
owing to the cost of Chinese manufact>
ures being generally less than the jap
anese ask for their wares. The Japan>
csc plat ordinarily commands a bet
ter price abroad, as the straw of which
it is made is brighter and winter IN
color; it is also mostly very neatly
made, owing to the deft fingers of the
japanese being admirably suited to
the work. THIS industry, which
bids fair to develop into larger and
larger proportions, is an especial
benefit to the farming class, the raw
material costing nothing and the MAX
ing of the plat furnishing occupation
to the female branches of the family
during leisure hours and winter nights
when work outside cannot be followed
The money earned being so much clear
gain, it is a welcome supplement to
the income of thousands of poor and

The Straw Braid Tree of Japan.
From the Japan Herald


Within the last three years quite a
new industry for Japan has sprung
INTO existence-the manufacture OF
straw plat or braid for mems hats and
women's bonnets for use abroad, The
first year sthe export consisted of
some 1000 pieces only, the next il
increased to- 1000, and the last OF
nearly ZOO, 900 pieces of sixty yards
each. The price, of course, varies &C
cording to the season and quality of
the article, ranging, we believe. from
50 sen down to as low as % sen per
piece, the latter being, we understand,
Inc price just now, owing to the fact
