 He is terribly burned about the face and hands. The child is badly burned, but will recover. The fremen worked heroically. Several of them were detailed to enter the building which was then a veritable furnace of fire and rescue the survivors. These life savers plunged into the seething flames fol- lowed by pipemen who kept playing the hose upon them and upon each other. In this way several lives were saved. After the fire was extinguished twelve bodies were found burned to crisp. Two lodgers are still missinp

The Story of Ruined Home Brought
 Out by an RlOpement.

Outby an Klopement.
 BOSTON, Dec. 13.-Last night Inspector
 Houghton of station No. was compelled to listen to an interesting tale of domestic infe
 icity told by Frank w. Slade, dealer in school books at No. 108 West Twentieth street, New York, in the presence of his al- legged wife and John J. Cook of Denver, in whose company Mrs. Slade eloped to Boston on Thursday Eight years
 ago Slade married Mrs. Annetta Eugenie Burns, aged twenty,a stylish blonde,
 just divorced from Charles Burns, of Platt Cove, New York. It has been claimed that, she was never divorced and she claims that she was never married to Slade. However, she admits going to live with him as his wife and bearing him daughter, since deceased. Soon after her child's death she went to Den yer to recover from lung trouble, stopping with a stspsister and subsequently, becom- ing governess in the family of John T. Cook, jr., young and handsome widower, where she remained year and half, receiv- ing during that time 5000 from MT. Slade. A year ago she returned home and several months later Cook came east and by invitation of the family quartered with the Shades. During his stay Slade noticed an intimacy between Cook and his wife, but lulled his suspicious. Cook returned to Denver, but early last week Slade went home and found Cook again in Mrs. Slade's com pany. His jealousy becoming aroused he upbraided both in high terms. They pro- tested their innocence and reconciliation was effected on the spot. On Thursday night Slade went home to find that the birds had flown. He traced them to the Adams House in this city where stormy interview took place Saturday morning. Cook protested that he had no motive except to protect the woman from cruel husband. Mrs. Slade denies her marriage with Slade and asserted her right to do as she pleased. It was finally agreed that Mrs. Slade should return home with her lord and that Cook should hie himself back to Denver. Thereupon Slade breakfasted the couple and went out to do the bookstores. He returned just in time to find his slippery wife taking a car riage with Cook bag and baggage on behind. They were bound for the International Hotel, hoping thereby to avoid Slade. The latter at this juncture called up- on the police with the result that all three brought up at the station. They will meet there again to morrow to patch up truce.

The Romantic Story of a Pair of Youthful Swains.
 BUFFALO, Dec. 13.-A sensation in social circles has been made here by the publication of facts regarding a love making affair, in which the scion of a wealthy family figures amorous Romeo. Some time since Best Dickson, heir apparent to the fortune and good name of his grandfather, MT. Ham Dickson, a former police superintendent and commissioner, fell in love with Miss Ida Stiles, a Ferry street damsel, whose father is patrolman in the Sixth precinct. The young woman was beautiful but unfortu- nately his relatives objected to her, and s2ms sssfz Tissssffo d yihah, 6sss6s161 to ss strengthened out" A week ago, upon his release, he renewed his visits to Miss Stiles, much to the chagrin of the rich relatives. Again, it is claimed, the law was made use of, for the police were called upon to raid the house where Dickson's inamorata lived Six persons were locked up, and Miss Stiles was fined s5, which she had paid under pro- test. She has sued the city, and alleges con spiracy. The sequel has been the marriage of Dickson to the lady. A huge scandal has been raised in consequence.

 Is there anything in the Bible teaching that re- deemed spirits lp heaven may not rebel from Gods authoritys

SIMS ELECTRICAL FISH TORPEDO.

This weapon has been adopted by the
United States government after many tests.
1t is ut present in use at the United States
torpedo school at Willet's Point, New York
harbor
The Sims torpedo runs five feet under
water, and makes speed at the rate of nearly
II miles an hour. 1t is fish-shaped copper
shell. IS feet long and Is inches in diameter.
1t is divided into five sections, and can be
taken apart and put together. 1t is sup
ported at submerged depth beneath an indie
structible float. The Sims torpedo is both
exploded and run by electricity, the power
being outside of it5elf. A dynamo-electric
machine on shore or on shipboard
generates the power. A coiled cleo
trio cable is inside the torpedo, and is
reeled out as the machine drives through the
water 1t is entirely worked from shore or
shipboard, and is run, steered and stopped by
the operator at will. 1t will travel mile.
1t make the best speed at the end of its run.
1t starts out on its trip alone, under water,
without any one accompanying it. Thus no
lives of an attendant crew are endangered.
The bow section contains the explosive, which
is POO pounds of dynamite.
An incident occurred recently in New York
harbor that showed how easy ii would be

SCIENCE z.PROGRESS
The Torpedo as n Weapon of Warfare.

The Torpedo as u Weapon of Warfare.
With talk of war between England and
Russia comes talk of torpedoes. Marine
torpedoes were invented as long ago as the
American revolution. They were attempted
to be used in the war of 1872, but so urad-
vancel were the slow people Of those days
that the idea shocked them inexpreSsibly
To place an explosive where it would delib-
erately blow up your unsuspecting enemy
was thought to be nothing less than tiendish.
II was so far removed from square and open
tight as to be ranked with assassination. But
we have got on considerably since then.
Torpedoes are now q recognized weapon OF
civilized warfare They Were effectively
used in the Turkish war in 1877, and in
the Franco Prussan war of 1870 and 1871
the French fleet was really kept away from
he German ports by torpedoes fixed in the
harbols.
Just how they are operated, and Of what
patterns they are, will be of interest to our
readers There are two kinds, fixed and
movable. The fixed is sort of submarine
bomb shell, made to explode under an
enemy's ship, This kind is generally called
fixed submarine mine OF these, again, there
are two classes. The first is that which has
rods or hooks projecting upward in the
water, at such a distance below the surface
that the bottom of a ship passing above
would Craze them and explode the she'll, The
other is exploded by electric wires connected
with a fort or station on shore or upon
mother ship 1t is touched off by means OF
firing keys" Both are anchored under
water in the channel or harbor. The tor
oedo is an American invention, though the
dea has been improved on by other nations.
In the fixed submarine mines the torpedo is
shell of metal containing the explosive sub
stance, powder or dynamite. The explosion
lnder water of 800 pounds of powder or its
equivalent will blow everything within 100
yards of it to flinders.
The fixed submarine mines are for defense.
For offensive warfare there is the movable,
Or locomotive, torpedo. There are also
several varieties of these. The most effective
50 far is the one shown in this illustration.
