A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
A Vessel Motive Power of Which is
10 be COUcussion.

TO Re COncussiOn.
The low black hull of a 100 foat
boat, on the ways at Poillon's ships
building yard in Brooklyn, is the first
thing that strikes the eye of strang-
er entering the gates This is the boat
whose motive power is to create a
revolution in naval propulsion. She
has been designed by Mr. Townsend,
foreman of the yard, and will be
launched in three weeks A little 10
horsepower engine has been built in
Pittsburg and finished in Jersey City
from the designs of Sam Secor, son Of
the man who built the original Fulton
engines. This will be placed in her
hull and used to compress air, 500
pounds in the square inch. which will
then be stored in vessel similar to
those used in soda water fountains.
1t will then be mixed with vaporized
crude petroleum, which forms an ex-
plosive to be fired by an electric spark
through cylinders leading to holes in
the side of the vessel. This causes a
powerful conclusion on the water
and gives the motive power.
There are two holes on either side, 10
feet from the stern. which run almost
parallel with the sides. These are used
for forward propulsion. Two more,
nine feet further forward, at right an
giles with the sides, will stop the boat
by a simultaneous discharge or turn
her by single discharge. By expert
ments already tried it has been demon
strated that rs explosions minute can
be obtained, each one with force
enough to blow an ordinary fagstone
so or 80 feet.
The boat has been built for S. Secor
& Sons, who furnished the necessary
SIS, 900 to carry out the plans. A stock
company with capital of SO, 900, 900
has been formed, and should the ex-
pertinent prove a success 10 acres of
ground on the water front will be
bought, buildings pat up, and the
business Of building these vessels be-
gun on a large scale. It is said that
any kind of vessel afoat, either sailing
Or stream, can be altered in very
short time and the necessary engines
put in. Patents in this and in every
country of Importance have beea
issued fully covering all the points of
the invention.
The boat when launched will be rig
ged as a schooner and the trial will
then take place.

opinion, the answer is that this couns
try can and does produce if. Brooklyn
| has a glass manufacturer who fur
nishes all manner of antique glass,
in iridescent colors in shades, stained,
and with an inward gre, initiating
rubies, opals, cats eyes, pearls and
other precious stones, but woven glass
is made in Pittsburgh, OF the finest
imaginable texture. Said 8 glass
manufacturer, VIXEN asked to tell
something about the latter form of
glass:
1.-The first processes of making WOW
en- glass are the same as in making
any kind Of coIored wok. The ingrad-
tents, sand, coloring, etc. are mixed
together and placed in the furnace to
melt. When the mass has about be-
come fused into a molten substance,
the furnace is opened and some of it
taken out by two workmen, who
stretch it in tne factory until it looks
like a red. hot rope from one-half to
one-fourth of an inch in diameter.
These ropes are allowed to cool, and
then are taken into the spinning room.
IN the center OF this room is an inn
mense wheel Of wood, eight and q half
feet in diameter. The periphery is a
foot wide, as smooth as the glass it,
self. At one side Of the wheel is a
blow~pipe, so arranged that the
blow is at right angles with
| the wheel, and blowing hot
air. The bar of glass as it
comes into the room is given TO an OPP
orator, who holds it In this biow-pipe,
and it melts Another workman takes
pair of pincers and draws a thread
of glass from the melting bar, and
| this he winds about the wheel, when
the steam is turned on and the ma
chinery begins to revolve. The big
wheel makes 800 revolutions minute
and draws a thread Of glass from the
melting bar continually. At first the
thread is thick, but it becomes more
and more fine until the finest silk is
no more fragile or gossamerlike. As
it becomes fine it losses it's brittleness
and becomes more elastic and pliable,
and gains in tensile strength also.
| When a sufficiently large coil of
thu cad has been made it is taken from
the wheel and bound up in skeins,
and then the material is taken to the
weaving machine. This is exactly
like a sllkweaving machine. and the
cloth comes out in beautiful texture
and color The finer threads of glass
unite as do threads of silk, and the
fabric when done may be of any color.
Combinations of color can be used,
aud changeable goods are more easily
manufactured than in silk. A state
robe made for Hindoo Prince of this
material was of gold, silver, and
iridescent glass, and when done il
was like mass of minute precious
stones. more marvelously beautiful
than anything ever seen by me be-
fore"

LITTLE MACS LOVE.
The First Meeting Between the Cen
era1 and the Lady who Became His
Wife.

The First Meeting Between the Gen
eraI and the Lady who Became His
Wife.
It was a clear, cold Saturday after
noon In 1890 when the general found
himself for the first time In Baltimore
Md. He put up st one of the hotels,
and being tired out Immediately re,
tired. The next morning he went to
church in the neighborhood He
was ushered into pew near TIE altar.
The pew had already one occupant in
1t, however. This was q handsome
young LADY. She was very handsome.
a slender delicate figure draped in
gray silk with a wealth of blonde hair
rolled about her graceful head. This
was all the general could see at the
first glance. But be felt at that one
moment that the young lady before
him was the only one whom he could
ever love.
Until now the generals time had
been too much taken up with busi>
ness cares to give much thought to
love, but now new feeling thrilled
his heart and he actually blushed. He
knelt down and opened prayer>book
bat paid little attention to it. His
mind was taken up with the fair
young devotee by bis side. At last
he saw her features. Her eyes were
the color of the cloudless sky, and
her mouth of the rosebud variety,
with ripe cherry lips.
The general Toasted his eyes on
this picture until the services were
over. AS she was leaving the pew
she glanced at the general, and then
rosy bushes chased one smother rap
idly over her fair countenance. be-
cause she noticed for the first time
the generals admiring eyes fixed up,
on her. She walked slowly home
toward one of the most fashionable
quarters of the city, totally unaware
that the handsome young fellow was
following close behind her. She en-
tered one of the handsemest houses in
the city, leaving the general, as he
afterward expressed it, standing on
the street looking like a ninny. He
learned that the house was owned by
Gen. Il. B. Marcy, an old war worn
veteran. George himself had had
taste of war life during the Mexican
trouble, and had retired when it was
over with the rank of captain. He
remembered that one of his school,
mates at West Point was named
Marcy. He made inquiries, and learn
ed that Gen. Marcy was the father
of his old school companion. 1t did
not take him long then to renew his
acquaintance with Gen. Marcy's son,
who was delighted to meet George
again. He introduced the latter to
his parents and also to his sister Ellen
who had made such deep impress
sion on George at the church. He be-
gan at once to pay assiduous attens
ton to the peerless little beauty. It
was plainly seen after while that
his love was reciprocated. He asked
and obtained Gen. Marcy's permits
sion to wed his daughter.
They were married in May, 1860.
Mrs. Mcclellan confessed that she
was deeply smitten with the hand-
some young soldier on the day of
her first meeting as he was with her.
Since their marriage Mrs. Mcclellan
has acco npanied her husband where
ever his duties led him.

DON'T DROWN
Few Suggestions Which May Prove
of Service.
Our Dumb Animals.

Our Dumb Animals.
The following may be worth 81, 900
to YOU if you remember it:
The human body weighs pound
in the water, and a char will carry
two persons-that is, it will keep the
head above water, which is all that is
necessary when it is ques-
ton of life or death. One
finger placed upon stool or chair or
small box or a piece of board will
easily keep the head above water,
while the two feet and the other hand
may be used as paddles to propel to-
wards the shore.
1t is not necessary to know how to
swim to be able to keep from drown
ing. A little experience of the buoy
ant power Of water and faith in it is
all that is required. We have seen a
small boy who could not swim
stroke propel himself back and forth
across a deep, wide pond, by means
of board that would not sustain five
pounds weight. Children and all
other should have practice IN the sus-
tanning power of water. In nine
cases out of ten the knowledge that
what will sustain pound weight is
all that is necessary to keep ones
head above the water, will serve bet
ter in emergencies than the greatest
expertness as a swimmer.
A person unfamiliar with the buoy
ant power will naturally try to climb
on top of the floating object on which
he tries to save himself. If it is large
enough that is all right. But it is
generally not large enough to keep
all entirely above water. This often
happens when pleasure boats capsize.
All Immediately want to get out of
the water on top of the overturned on
half filed boat, and all are drowned
except those whom the wretched craft
will wholly bear up.
II they simply trust the water to
sustain 9910O of tie weight of their
bodies, and the disabled boat the 9th"
er 100, all might be saved under
most circumstances. An overturned
or half filed wooden boat will sustain
more people than it will carry. 1t
would keep the heads above the water
of as many people as could get their
hands on the gunwale. These are
simple facts, easily learned, and may
some day save your life.
