TRAVEL BOOMING,

For some time back the EAGLE had made
practice of publishing the list of arrivals
at our two leading hotels, but as the travel
ing season arrived it was discovered that
this would tax our space too heavily, there
fore it had to be abandoned. Some days OF
late the list on The registers of the Manhat-
tan and Occidental hotels would FIJI col
umn.
Our hotels are SO good and our city so
lively, commercial men make it point to
Sunday here.
Yesterday morning the Santa Fe train GO
ing south, notwithstanding il had two bag
gage cars on, was compelled to take on two
freight cars at this city to take the baggage
that was going south. Sol Smith Russell's
troop going south occasioned II good deal o!
this, but there WAS Nm unusual travel be-
sidee.
An EAGLE reporter got on the train at the
Union depot and rode TO the Douglas ave-
nue. depot. He heard passengers in the
train cay there were so many coming 20
Wichita they thought from here south they
would have lots Of room in the cars, but
when the crowds came rushing in at the
Douglas avenue depot, they exclaimed,
"My God, what sort of town is this!
There must be a surplus population here
and now thsre is an exodus" Asa matter
Of fact there was such crowd getting on
that those wanting to get off had hard
time TO get out before it was time for the
train TO start

EricssOn's destroyer"

John Ericsson. who invented the
Ericsson engine and the monitors, has
completed new war vessel which he
calls THE Destroyer" 1t is intended
for harbor protection only, and he has
offered it to the United States Govern
ment for its actual cost to himself, which
was S15OOO0. He asks 100000 more
for the patents covering the principles
on which it is constructed. THE De-
StrOyer' is the most formidable defensive
machine ever constructed for war pur-
poses, and but two or three of these
cheap affairs would defend the best
harbor i'll the world against a hostile
fleet Of the most powerful iron-clads.
'Ihe Destroyer is intended to Oper-
ate entirely under water, and presents
no surface as a target to the attacking
vessels: 1t is moved by engines of great
energy, and has gun at the bow carry
ing an explosive projectiIe weighing
l,45O pounds. When the gun is fired
the port hole is opened and closed by
outer and inner valves, to prevent the
inflow of sea water. This submarine
battery ranges up to within 300 feet of
the ship it is to attack, and the volcanic
force with which the proiectile is dis
charged will lodge it inside the thickest
plates of an iron-clad, whereit explodes
with terrible force, as it is loaded with
gun cotton instead Of powder.
The money which a first-class steel
cruiser would cost would build enough
of these submarine monsters to defend
the harbor of New York against any
naval force in the world There is no
measure which can be placed on the
debt which this country owes to the in
ventive genius of John Ericsson.-Chi-
cugo JOurn0l.

Profits OF Literature.

Some idea of the profits of literature
may be gained from the fact that an
author generally receives from the pub
Usher but 10 per cent on the retail price
of the copies of the work actually sold
AS most books do not sell more than
1000 copies, the author gets, provided
the book costs 50, 5000; or $3.50, if it
costs S1.5O. A successful novel may
sell 10000, even 10000 copies or more,
and such novelist has a chance of
something like recompense for his la
Dor. But successful novelist is one
author in two hundred, perhaps five
hundred. And even he, or she, gets far
less than is commonly supposed. Mrs.
Stowe received. it is said owing to var
iOus untOWard circumstances, only some
$4,000 or $4,000 from Uncle Toms
Cabin,H which has, probably, had
larger sale than any work ever pub
lished. The ..Innocents Abroad" earn
ed for Mark Twain only about 500, 900,
although he has been credited with
thrice that sum. So popular a series of
books as 'American Men of Letters
and american Statesmen will not
have an average sale of more than
5000 to $500 copies. At S1.25 per
copy the authors would not get more
than 1915 or S431. and vet five or six
months must be required to do one of
the volumes properly. Tais is much
smaller compensation than the most Or
binary clerk or salesman would receive.
Indeed, it is not equal to the wages of
a common mechanic. Consequently,
only those who are in independent cir
cumstances, or who support themselves
by other means, can afford the luxury
of literature. Authorship ought to
bring good deal of honor, since the
emolument is 50 starvingly slender
