The Unusual Activity shown by Inventors
 of Dynamite Death Dealing Devices-Th
 ZaIinski and Graydon Guns-A New DyE
 amite Monitor.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-Unusual activ- ity has been shown by inventors this session to convince Congress of the adaptability of high explosives to tEe practical uses of war and several im- provements in destructive agencies and implements of warfare have been brought to the attention of tho military and naval committees of both houses during the session. As result there are generous appropriations, aggregating nearly three quarters of million in tho Army and Navy bills for experiments with dynamite shells, aerial torpedoes and the making of air guns for hurling those torpedoes.
 Among these inventions is what Is known as the Zalinski gun and the ''aerial torpedo thrower', the latter the inven- tion of Lieutenant J. ". Graydon, late of the United States Navy. The Zalinski gun throws six hundred pounds of dyna- mite about mile and half from an air gun about sixty feet in length, while Graydon, by greatly increased air pressure secures greater range, with air guns thirty or thirty five feet long.
 The new cruisier "Vesuvius" is to be armed with two of the Zalinski guns, placed well forward and parallel to each other, side be side, and fixed rigidly at an angle of sixteen degrees. They are to be trained or sighted by changing the course of the vessel.
 Graydon's shorter gun it Is proposed to use on what is known as Admiral Amon's ram; four of these twenty -one inch tor pedo- throwers to form part of the arma- ment of this powerful engine of war, two mounted on turtle back turrets, fore and aft. These guns can be elevated and de- pressed and trained like any piece of ordnance, and with them it is proposed to hurl enormous torpedoes containing 1,200 pounds of dynamite at least two miles.
 The House committee on naval affairs also have before them an original design for pneumatic dynamite monitor, the invention of Representative Thomas, ot Illinois, with water ballast so arranged that the vessel may be sunk when ready for action to point which will just ex- pose the turret, are features of this ves- sell which is similar in design to Admiral Amon's proposed powerful ram.

 Ihave Norwegian girl who makes a very excellent Norwegian bread, es- pecially recommended for dyspeptics. Sift one pint of barley meal, with one and half pint ot Graham flour, tea spoonful of salt and two of baking powder. Mix to batter with one pint of milk. The batter should be rather firm; pour into a greased baking-pan. and bake forty minutes in moderate oven.
 A very delicate omelet is made by beating the yelks of six eggs and the whites of four; season with salt and pepper. Meantime fry small dice ot bread in butter, and throw into boiling milk, gravy, or sauce of any kind; take out, mix with the beaten egg, and fry like an ordinary omelet.
 A plain omelet with small dice of fried bacon, is an excellent relish. baked omelet is rather an economical dish. Beat four eggs, whites and yelks separately. add cup of milk. table, spoonful of flour. as much butter, and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Bake in buttered dish in a quick oven.
 A boiled ham is a good summer stand by. It will keep long time, and should unexpected company arrive, backed by cold ham, you need never be afraid to extend your hospitality to them. You have of course your kitchen garden. Suppose you arrange dish something as follows: Put few slices of pale-pink ham, cut artistically thin, in the center of large, flat dish. Around these put circle Of the tender green leaves of lettuce; surround this with the crimson glow of small French breakfast radishes. Let the outer row be slices of ham alternated with dark, curled parsley, and slices of hard-boiled egg. What could be prettier or taste betterp A Sally l.unn is an excellent accompaniment Slit pound and half of flour, and add two ounces of butter heated in pint Of new milk. little salt and three eggs well beaten. If you can set this over night, with two tablespoonfuls of good yeast well and good, but if not, use two tablespoonfuls of baking powder with the flour.
 Coffee jelly served with whipped cream is a nice dessert for hot day. Put one ounce of gelatine in sauce pan with half pint of strong, clear coffee, and three half pints of boiling water; sweeten to the taste, and when just at the boiling point remove from the fire, and strain into a buttered mold. -Rurdl NeW Yorker.

FRAUDULENT CITIZENS.

Important Testimony Taken by the Con
 eressional Committee Showing How
 Aliens are Transformed Into Full
 Pledged Citizens in TeD Days on Pay
 mont of Ten Dollars.
 NEW YORK, Aug. IS. The Congress sional committees resumed their inquiry regarding indiscriminate immigr ation yesterday. Henry J. Jackson, superin- tendent of Castle Garden and secretary of the Emigration Commission. was the first witness. His testimony, in the main, was corroboration of that already elicited from Emigration Commissioners, Tamtar and Stevenson.
 Walter Mcintosh, secretary of the United States Watch Makers Associa- tion, showed conclusively that some en- grayers were brought here from London under contract, and in direct violation of the law.
 F. N. Bell. a sea captain, said that Lockwood & Kay carry on sort of brokerage business in procuring sea captains positions. He swore that these two men can take Nova Scotian and in ten days make m American citizen of him and put him in charge of an American ship. He said that Lockwood told wit ness that Judge Morrison, in Brooklyn, fixes all details for him. Each individual who wanted to become an American citizen inside of ten days must put up ten dollars.
 Andrew W. Kay, ship chandler, said he is Nova Scotian, and said that he has assisted his father", man named Evans, and another named Miller, to get their naturalization papers. After Q good deal of questioning by the members of the committee, testimony was elicited corroboratipg the statement of the pre- vious witness regarding fraudulent nat uralization.
 Witness admitted that he knew man named Palmer, and had aided him to get naturalized. Witness was quite uncom- fortable when Paimer's name was men- toned and before the committee got through with him gave some very damag- ing evidence against himself. He admit ted that he had sworn in Judge Moore's court that he had known Palmer to be a worthy man for five years when he had never met him. A man named Baylis got ten dollars for securing Palmer's nat uralization papers, which was divided with deputy sheriff named Ross. After a good deal of beating about the bush, the witness finally said that he had been paid three dollars by Ross shortly after Palmer's papers were procured. Ad- journed.

A PUZZLED BLUE-BIRD.
Ills Fierce Attacks on What He Supposed
 to Be Rival.

His Fierce Attacks on What He Supposed
 to Be Rival.
 I have spoken of nature as stage whereon the play, more or less inter- rupted and indirect, constantly goes on. One amusing actor upon that stage one season upon my own premises was a certain male blue-bird. To the spec tator 1t was & comedy, but to the actor himself I imagine it was quite seri- ous business. The bird and his mate had nest in box upon an outhouse. In this outhouse was a window with one pane broken out. At almost any hour in the day from spring to early summer the male bird could be seen fluttering and pecling against this window from the outside. Did he want to get withinP Apparently so, and yet he would now and then pause in his demon- strations, alight in the frame of tho broken pane, look intently within and after moment resume his assault upon the window. The people who saw the actions of the bird were at 8 loss how to interpret them. But l could see at once what was the matter. The bird saw Its image in the mirror of the glass (the dark interior helped the refection) and was making war as he supposed upon a rival. Only the unyielding glass kept him from tweak- ing out every saucy blue feather upon the spot! Then he would peep in through the vacant pane and try to determine where his rival had so suddenly disappeared. How 1t must have puzzled his little polll And he learned nothing from experience. Hundreds of times did he perch in the broken pane and sharply eye the in- terior And for two months there did not seem to be an hour when he was not assaulting the window. He never lost faith in the reality of the bird within and he never abated one jot his enmity toward him. If the glass had been a rough surface he would certainly have worn his beak and claws and wings to mere stubs. The incident shows the pugnacious disposition of blue-bird, and it shows how shallow a birds wit is when new problems or conditions confront it.-Wtde AtCdke.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Sentences of Dismissal Against Naval Ca dets Convicted of Hazing Commuted.

dets Convicted of HazinE tommuted.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The President yesterday commuted the sentence of dis mssal of naval cadets Wiley T. Embrey Arthur l.. Willard, Geo. Richards, Bernard II. Camden, Charles Lyle, Bien B. Bier. Richard H. Leigh, Timothy F.. Maurin, and George II. Sheppard, con victed of hazing on board the practice ship Constellation, to confinement upon the santee for thirty days and that they each be deprived of one-half of their annual leave. The President, in long review of the cases, condemns hazing in strong terms. and says that executive clemency will not be granted to like cases in the future, and is only extended now because such trivial hazing as these cadets were convicted of had not been in the past considered sufficiently aggra- vated to merit severe punishment.
 The offenses for which these cadets were recommended to be dismissed the service consists of compelling members of the junior class to chew toilet paper, stand on their heads, etc. Secretary Whitney, in transmitting the action ot the court martial to the President, reo- ommends the course which the President adopted
