Methodist Nuns.

Methodist nuns are to be a novelty in
feminine experience. They were created
by the Methodist General Conference, after
careful consideration of the subject by
the committee on missions The commit
tee reported favorably. and the Conference
inserted in the discipline of the Church a
section regulating them. They are to be
called deaconesses, and they will be very
similar to the nuns Of the Roman Catholic
Church, except that they are not to take
vows of life service or of celibacy No
thing more definite than that was done by
the Conference, but the impression is that
the Methodist nuns will wear distinctive
costumes, and live in houses by themselves.
They will minister to the poor and the sick,
care for orphans, and do other work of
charity.-N. Y. Sun.

Fish and Without Water.
fNauy York St1r)

The English ship Laonica, Captain Boyd,
commander, has just arrived from Lonooh
and tied up in the Erie Basin, Brooklyn at
the foot of Richards street. The vessel eN.
perienced q succession of westerly gales OF
hurricane force from longitude % deg. TO
Il deg. % min., and everything movable
on deck was washed overheard. On Fiji
day. May 25, at A. NJ, a dismasted snip
was sighted to the windward. The Laonlca
tackled and stood toward her, discovering
her to be the wrecked ship Iouave. Several
of the crew were drowned, and Captain
Soper and his men were lashed to the rig
ging, and had been without food for sew
eral DAYS. The men were taken aboad and
carried into this port. Speaking OF the
disaster, Albert Richmond, first mate OF
the Zouave, said:
s'The Louave was an American ship,
1,240 tons registered. and was manned by
Captain Soper, of Boston, owner OF the
vessel. two mates, ten seamcn and boy.
On the Goth day of last April we left Mo
bile, bound for Queensboro-on the Thames
with a cargo of yellow pine. Everything
went along smoothly for about ten days.
when easterly gales sprang up and the sea
began to get heavy, and suddenly We found
ourselves in the midst of a violent hurrl
cane. This was in latitude 42 degrees, and
80 degrees longitude. Heavy seas came
washing over the vessel and everything on
deck was swept overheard. The vessel
sprung a leak and the men were kept al
the pumps night and day for nearly week
trying to keep the vessel righted, but to nc
avail
"At every successive burst Of the tenn
pest she would spriug fresh leak, and one
tremendous sea swept over the vessel, kill
ing a seamen and the steward and wound
ing several others On the fourth day OF
the hurricane our provisions became eX

On the morning OF May 20, during the
heaviest gale, the vessel collapsed, and all

Emmensite Burns Under Water and Holds
Plate Armor in Contempt.

Emmensite Burns Under Water and Holds
Plate Armor in Contempt.
From the New York Star.)
In an old house near Harrison West
chester county, built in Revolutionary
times, resides DR.. Stephen Il. Emmens,
the inventor of new explosive. -Four
l2-ounce charges of Emmensite were in
serted into two borings in an immense
rock not far from the house and exploded
in the usual way, breaking the hard stone
into thousagds Of fragments. The whole
displacement by the explosive was rough
ly estimated at thirty-six tons by expert
engineers who were present, there being
representatives of the United States,
France and Japan.
Some iron plates six inches square and
one-quaater of an inch thick were sus-
pended by threads from each corner, on
which was placed and exploded a one
and half ounce charge of nitro gelatine,
giving slight dent; one and half ounce
cartridge of dynamite on another plate
produced saucer-shaped indentation,
while the Emmcnsite knocked hole
right through the plate. A conlcal shell
weighing sixty-six aud half pounds
was placed on steel platform, having
ssspud" in the centre to fit the interior
of the proiectile, on which it is put after
being charged with the explosive; the
discharge threw the shell twenty feet
further than any of the other explosives
used. The descending lump of iron
made well-like grave for itself down
somewhere near China.
Target practice with Springfield rifle
using seventy grains of gunpowder sent
bullet through three deal boards Il
inches thick, while fifteen grains of the
terror under discussion drove the reg
ulation bullet through five boards and
no one knows how many more it would
have gone through if an inch thick iron
plate had not stopped its wild motive
power.
A novelty in experiments was reached
when some OF this material was Lighted
with match and thrown under water
where it continued to burn making the
water bubble aud boil. Certainly Greek
fire bas not been crenlated rs this terrible
modern product plainly shows. The ex,
pIosive is yellow candyIooking stuff,
and is harmless, and mast be fred by
powerful dctonating caps inserted within

MRS. VANDERBILT AT COURT.
Leading the Americans Before the Queen-He
Dress and Diamonds.


No Americans have ever created so great
a social sensation in England as the Van
derbilts. All the Mackay splendors sink
into insignifcance beside them, ard their
siege of London was short, since the whole
social world promptly surrendered to these
monarchs of millions. Of course pre-
sentation at court was an important part OF
that success, and has been duly reported in
the dispatches, which were too brief, how
ever, to adequately convey the full gor-
geousness of Mrs. Vanderbilts appearance
on thst important occasion.
She led the line of the little batch Of
Americans under the wing of the United
States Minister, Mr.. Phelps, and her COM
patriots were so taken with her jewels that
they had no eyes for the display Of the
Duchesses and Countesses that thronged
the ante.room Mrs. Vanderbilt wore a
dress made with demi-train of heavy Gre
vette pink satin brocade, with scattered
bouquets of wild roses in gold and silver.
The long court train was of cream-white
velvet, lined throughout with pale yellow
satin, and bordered with wide band of
cream-white curled ostrich feathers. The
pink DO lice was long and pointed and
draped with silver tissue, which. was held
in position with pale pink enamel wild
roses, whose foliage was crusted with dia
monds.
The silver tissue draperies were held at
their iuucture with the train by large dia-
mopd ornaments finished with pendant
chains of diamonds and pearls. Her fau
was of cream-white ostrich feathers, and
the same sort were in her hair, held by
superb diamond aigrette.
Her necklace of solitaires was estimated
at $3.50, 0C0 by the ladies who stood about
her, and those in her ears were said to rep.
resent SIS, 900 more. She wore bracelets
and rings of the same precious stones, and
even the gold handle of her fan was thickly
encrusted with these jewels. She fairly
blazed with these myriad gems and even
royalty, which usually regards every one
with equal indifference, opened It's eyes and
stared at the American woman's diamonds.

Silk Hats And Rainy Weather.

Have you ever noticed, writes Phila-
selphia merchant in the Halter and Fur
rier, that if you put your silk hat on in
the morning and forget to take your
umbrella with you it is inst sure to rain
before you get back? I can giveyou an
illustration which will prove my theory
conclusively-at least it did so to my
mind. A lumber Of years ago l was
living in Lancaster County, and it was
very dry; so dry; indeed, that at many
OF the country churches they had begun
to hold services every day to pray for
rain. Several weeks passed, however,
and still no rain.
Ny uncle, with whom I YVES stopping,
was a devout Christian, and also believed
in the efficacy Of prayer to induce the
Supreme Ruler to open the aoodgates
of heaven and moisten the parched earth.
He attended the services regularly, and
poured forth many an earnest appeal.
T have no doubt but the fact that he had
about eighty acres of corn which was
being completely dried up made him all
the more earnest, but, at any rate, when
many had given up all hope of it ever
raining again, and the more superstitious,
my uncle among them, had made up their
minds that the end of the world was close
at hand, arrangements were made to hold
an all day service. 1t was largely atten-
ded, and my uncle that day, for the first
time since his marriage, forty years
before, got out his high silk bat and wore
it. Ishall never forget how odd it looked,
for, of course, it was very much out of
style, and resembled an antique relic.
Well, would you believe it, before he
got home big banks Of clouds came up,
and I never saw it rain harder. OF course,
as my uncle had not taken an umbrella
with him that morning, his antique hat
was ruined. The other people all attri-
buted the rain to the many supplications
that were offered up that day, but l have
always had another theory as to what
brought it on. I think it was because
my uncle wore his silk hat.

LAWYER J. Ernes, Smith, of Whining
ton, Del. who is alleged TO be the custo-
dian of the valuable papers belonging to the
Peterson estate, is at present attending the
Chicago Convention. A reporter yester-
dsy visited Wilmington to verify the state
ments of Pastor England and trace the Pc
terson family, whose claim TO millions of
dollars worth of property was published
yesterday.
The story that the deeds to the property
were held by Lawyer J. Ernest Smith,
who, it was said, found them in an old
armchair and that man was paid to steal
them, was the main topic of conversation
in Wilmington.
Arthur H. Smith, the younger brother
of Lawyer Smith, was seen at his Office.
He disclaimed all knowledge Of the arm
chair, or of the existence of such papers.
He sai6, however, that an attempt had been
made to rob his brothers house some years
ago by q man who was SO disguised as TO
make his appearance very much like that
OF LAWYER Smith. He never knew the OBJ
iect os the attempted robbery, as the fellow
succeeded in making good his escape. A
visit was next made TO Lawyer Smiths
home, at 1905 Jefferson street, but there
wss no one at home.
