in St. Petersburg, where explosives have been much used. It is known as hellhofite, and is the invention of MT. Hellhoff, noted chemist. It is solution of naphtharine, phenal, benzine, etc., formed into nitrate combination, and experiments made with it at St. Petersburg have shown that it's explo- sive power is very much greater than that of nitro-g glycerine. The advantages possessed by hellhofite are: First, it's great power; sec ond; it may be stored and transported with perfect safety as regards concussion, it cannot be exploded either by blow, or shock, or by an open flame. On the other hand, it has the following disadvantages: First, that it is liquid; second, that the funing nitrate contained in it is of such volatile nature that it can be stored only in perfectly closed vessels; and third, it is ren- dered completely inexplosiye by being mixed with water ahd cannot, consequently, be em- ployed for works under water. In the exper- iments referred to quantity ofhellhofdte was poured into bowl, but could not be explod- ed by lighted match, and slow match was passed through the mouth of 8 bottle con- taining quantity of this substance, but failed to explode the compound. Finally a few drops of hellhoffite were poured on an anvil and exposed to heavy blows with a hammer without having the iesst effect.

The Electric Light in Naval Warfare

From the St. James Gazettel
 It cannot be said that the practical expe- rience of the electric light as fitted to wal ships has been wholly satisfactory. In cer- tain circumstances, no doubt, the light may be of considerable value. By it's aid a cap- tain can search the face of an enemy's works and select the spots upon which to concen- trate the fire of his guns; but he cannot, it must be remembered, do this without betray- ing his own position, and so affording his foe capital point at which to aim. The electric light, moreover, is very puzzling in it's eff fects upon the sight, even when the eyes are protected by colored glasses. It brightly il- luminates everything upon which it is flashed; but it greatly intensifes the appa- rent darkness on both sides of the actual beam. Seamen, too, who are using the light become 'Fnight blind" Ordinarily their night sight is very good. They can at sea readily distinguish objects which to lands mans unpractised gaze are invisible; but when electric lights have been flashing around them for a few minutes this valuable gift temporarily deserts them. The general feeling among officers and signalmen seems, therefore, to be that, rule, the electric light is rather nuisance than otherwise The lamps, nevertheless, could be rendered very useful if they were so arranged as to be portable. Engines and dynamos cannot, of course, be readily removed from their ships; but means can surely be devised for the tenn porary laying of electric cables from vessels lying at anchor to outlying boats, or to points from which it might be desirable to cast a beam. In warlike operations an ironclad would be placed at great disadvantage if, while herself remaining in darkness, she could send away apinnace with a powerful lamp, by means of which hostile ships or batteries could be brilliantly blown up. The suggested improvement could be easily car ried out and, if it were carried out, it would transform the electric light from a false friend into real one.

London bv Night.

London Letter in the New York Teegram.7
 No sadder spectacle presents itself to the eye of the stranger visiting the metropolis of England, if not of the world, than that of its thousands of unfortunate women addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. In itself the mere habit on the part of females of drink ing brandy, gin or whiskey is bad enough, but when the habit is carried to the extreme of drunkenness it transforms Gods noblest and most beautiful creation into something even below the beasts. Walk along Fleet street, go slowly along the Strand or any one of tha many streets, lanes and alleys cross ing those two great arteries at right angles look into any of the beer or whiskey shops at any hour of the day or night and count the souls there. You will find more women than men-women with babes at the breast, young girls from 16 up, women with bloated faces and every tender ineament of their sex plotted from their countenances by the brutalizing agency of alcohol, old women too, scarcely able to stand from the combined effects of age and dissipation.
 It is a horrible spectacle which I have never seen in any other part of the world. These poor female wretches huddle together outside the bar in small rooms ten feet square perhaps, imbibing the soul poison from morn till night, cheering each other. may hap, by ribald talk and jest, neglecting all the duties of womanhood for the sake of the loved dram or pint, and after spending all their pence and ha apence, as the case may be. reeling out into the busy streets with some muddled thought of getting ':home again" before husband, father or brother returns.

WHAT WILL THE CLERKS Doa

There is to be an election in Ohio next month, and the fact carries with it an in teresting problem for the clerks in the de- partments at Washington who are voters in Ohio. Hitherto they have gone home to vote and been sure of their places when they came back, but now they don't know what to do A former member of the Ohio Repub- ican association, which adjourned in Feb-u- a1y last subject to the call of the chairman, says that out of four hundred clerks who were formerly organized and formerly went home to vote he can find but about forty who are willing to make trip this fall He says that many of the Ohioans and clerks from other States have deliberately used up all their thirty days leave, so that they can have an excuse for remaining in Washington.
 Washington correspondents say that the higher officials who have been approached on this subject say that employees who have not taken their full leave will be granted what ever time is coming to them, without regard to the use they may make of it. They claim to know that some clerks have purposely saved week or two to go home to vote, but they insist that no attempt will be made to hinder them in their purpose. When asked what the consequences would be in case the chairman of the local district Democratic con- mittee or some other politician, files charges against these people for voting the Republi- can ticket, or, as it will be put, for being offensive partisans," there is every evi- dence of desire to be non-committal. ''Ws cannot be expected" said one, "to guaran- tee protection under all circumstances, nor to encourage men to leave their work to vote the Republican ticket; no questions will be asked when leave is applied for, but if clerk and Republican, would take the safe course and stay here. The ques- tions that may arise will be embarrassing to the administration, and the men who raise such issues will simply lift themselves into prominence that prudent people would avoid.' There is sense in this. The Repub- Hcan clerks who want to keep their places had better not furnish any pretext for talk ing them away.

FLANNELS.

Some time ago we announced that we had been large buyers of Flannels at the great Auction Sale held in New York, and that in due season we would place them on sale. Could the manufacturers have foreseen the turn the market would take, we think there would have been no auction sale. Wool has ad- vanced, is advancing, and will still more advance. Flannels have advanced. But having said we would give our custom CTS the advantage of our pur- chase we mean to do 1t. This week, next week and all through September, we shall offer Elan nels at prices it would simply be impossible to make if we had to purchase now.

 For years and years Trafalgar Square has been an eye-sore to all lovers of symmetry At the four corners of this imposing looking place four pedestals are to be seen. Three surmounted by statues; the fourth is waiting. There is rumor afloat that the statue of General Gordon will soon make up the partie carTee. But now a difficulty arises. One of the trio already there is George ", and there is a strong feeling that it would besalnost proclamation to set up the soldier saint in the company of a maii who if he had not worn crown would prob ably have ended his days in felon's cell It is no secret that this popular feeling is shared by the Queen, who detests the mem ory of her ibertine uncle, and not long since had the body of her son, the Duke of Alba ny, removed to Frogmore from St. Georges chapel, where it had been inferred according to his wish. Her Majesty could not bear the thought of her regretted son resting near the first gentleman in Europe"

Her friend and Messrs Moody and Sankey's associate, the sweet singer P P. Bliss, was killed and she so badly injured and her nervous system so shocked that chronic hysteria followed. She sent to private asylum, where, after a long treatment, she was pronounced 1ncura6le Four years ago a friend sent her a bottle of pr.

RIP VAN TWINKLE.

Joseph Jefferson, the great actor (whose equal the character of Rip Van Wrinkle we shall never see again. states that he visited Dr. Flower in a very low state of health. He had given up the stage account of his health being utterly broken down. Dr. Flower entirely cured him, and he is to day loving the very best of health, after having filled last season heavy professional engagement. The two great remedies used in this celebrated cure were Dr. Flowers Liver and Stomach Sanati and Nerve Pills.
