"a FEVER SHIP"
III Greatest Calamity that Can BefaH Naval

III Greatest Calamity that Can BefaII Naval
Vessel.
Perhaps no greater calamity can come
to a vessel than that which has befallen
the United States steamship Yantic; that
is, the infection of yellow fever on board
unpleasant birth for her present officers
and crew, but TO some extent ii DESTROYS
her usefulness forever As soon as pos
sible after the discovery of the disease on
board q ship she is headed north, for
a cooler atmosphere, and usually
the ravages of the fever are
thus cut short; but in the case of a ship
like the Yantic, wooden built, this is by
no means the end. The germs of the
disease find Judgment in the pores of the
wood; they seek, and usually discover,
cosy nests in the rotten beams down in
the hold, where the water is constantly
gnawing. Thus they sleep while the ship
is in cold climates. She is fumigated,
cleaned, Quilted, steamed, frozen,
but the fever microbes are securely
hidden within the pores of the wood.
where the fumes of the disinfect-
ants, the heat of steam, or the cold of the
winter air cannot reach them. All seems
well when the vessel is put into commits
sion; necessity compells her orders TO the
south. and she sails without q suspicion
Of infection about her. Soon there comes
a cablegTGm from her at some port in
the tropics that yellow fever appeared on
board while ut sea. The intense heat has
awakened the sleeping germs and they
impTegnate the atmosphere of the ship
with their deadly influences before the
vessel has even sighted land.
Thus man-of-war gets a reputation
Of being ever-ship. When it is
proposed to equip her for q cruise avail
able officers begin to write letters backed
by influences, to the secretary of the
navy, asking that they be sent on some
other duty, or begging off from assign

THE AMERICAN WOMAN.
Max O'Rell's Latest Comments on Her and
Her Dress.


Her Dress.
The Forum.
In the large cities of the East the first
thing that caught my attention was the
thinness of the men and the plumpness
of the women. This seemed to hint that
the former lived in furnace of activity
and the latter in cotton wool. This i'm
preston soon deepened into a conviction.
The more 1 saw of these large cities and
brilliancy, wit and refinement of society
i'll them, the palmer it became to me
that if America had thus early riyaled
the older nations of Europe in
all the elegancies of fashionable
life it was because of its treatment of
woman. It seemed to me that her lot
was as near to being perfection as any
earthly lot could be. A respect amount
ing to reverence is shown to her, and it
appears to be the chief aim of her pro-
tectors to surround her with luxury and
make her path through life a sunny one
So far as adding to her mental and
physical grace goes, this plan of making
every woman an uncTowned queen has
answered completely. Seeing her high
position she has set herself at work to fill
it becomingly; and it is the cultivation of
America g daughters, it is their charm
ing independence and a consciousness of
their power that make them attractive and
render American society so delightful to
the stranger. In their treatment of
women the Americans might give more
than one lesson to men of the old world,
even to the Frenchman who, in the
matter of politeness, lives 81 good deal, 1
am afraid, on the reputation of his an
cestors. The respect for women in
America seemed to me to be perfectly dis
interested, purely platonio. In France,
this respect almost always borders on
gallantry A Frenchman viii always
stand back to let a woman pass, but he
will generally profit by the occasion to
take q good look at her.
If an outsider be competent to form an
opinion, l venture TO say that the Ameri-
can woman does not render to a man
1.-THE of the devotion she receives from
him. The French wife repays hus-
band devotion by protecting his inter-
est; an American one too often repays 1t
by breaking into his capital. But Jona-
than complains not. To him il is only
seemly that ''beauty should go beauti-
fully If one fortune goes, he sets TO
work to make another, and the sweat of
his brow is soon cTystallizing once more
upon the neck and arms of his beloved
womankind in the form of diamonds.
The dress Of American women must
be considerable item in the expenditure
of the country. They dress well on all
occasions and portent tres bien la toilette;
but they have yet to learn the highest
effect in dress-a commingling Of SIM
plicity and elegance. To see the street
toilettes one would think only the looms of
LYONS and Genoa were capable of fur

more than the usual chances that they
viii lose them.
So it is that q ship loses a great portion
of her usefulness, for, with the faint of
the fever upon her, the powers at the
department are humanely loath TO send
her to regions where the germs are liable
to be developed With the Boston, the
ship that took the fever recently while at
Port an Prince, the case is thought to
be different. She is built entirely of
steel and iron, and, it is thought, she
can consequently be effectively fumigated
by the use of steam and other appliances,
for there is no chance in her for the germs
to hide themselves in rotten wood away
from the influence of the dislnfectants.
1t remains to be seen, however, when
the vessel makes her next tropical trip
whether these conditions save her from
the danger of becoming a "'feYer ship. -

Finding Oil Wells Through Dreams.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
A remarkable case of the realization of
dream is related by L. H. Thorp,
well-known business man of this city,
Some five years ago Mr. Thorp, who was
then interested in OIL matters, had
dream in which he saw distinctly very
peculiarly formed piece of land, upon
which he dreamed that he located five
wells-one at each corner aud the fifth in
the center, upon the top of a hill.
Nothing more was thought of the mat
ter until about six months afterwards,
when Mr.. Thorp again dreamed the same
thing with greater distinctness of
detail. This time he was some
what impressed, but business cares
soon drove the dream from his mind and
it was forgotten again until two years
ago, when a third time he had the same
dream. When he awoke he made up his
mind that if he ever came across such
tract of land he would possess himself of
it. Time passed, and one day while at
Greensburg, he drove over to Mr..
Morris in Greene county, and the mo-
ment he came in sight of the place the
dream was recalled. There were the
identical houses along the road, the hill
rising abruptly to a sharp peak, the two
streams of water at its base, and every
thing he had first seen in the dream years
ago.
Upon going to the spot where his first
well had been located in his dream, to
his surprise Mr.. Thorp found that George
p. Hukill had drilled his first well, which
proved a very good one. The second
well had also been put down by Hukill,
at the place dreamed Of, but was dry.
Carrying his investigation still further,
Mr.. Thorp climbed the hill and went di-
rectly to the place where the fifth well
should be; but he tried to buy or lease
the land without avail Mr. Thorp had
never before been in the vicinity OF
Mount Morris, and did not know there
was such place until the visit, which
recalled the dream

How CeIluloid is Manufactured.
The Inventor.

While everybody has heard of, or seen ,
or used celluloid, only a few know what
it is composed of or how it is made. The
following is a description of the process
carried ont in factory near Paris for the
production of celluloid:
A roll of paper is slowly unwound and
at the same time is saturated with mix
ture of five parts of sulphuric acid and
two parts of nitric acid, which falls upon
the paper in fine spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into proXylin
(gun cotton). The excess of the acid
having been expelled by pressure, the
paper is washed with plenty of water until
all traces of acid have been removed 1t
is then reduced to pulp and passes on to
the bleaching trough.
Most Of the water having been got rid
of by means of a strainer, the pulp is
mixed with from 20 to 40 per cent of its
weight i'll camphor, and the mixture
thoroughly triturated under millstones
The necessary coloring having been added
in the form of powder, a second mixing
and grinding follows
The finely divided pulp is then spread
out in thin layers on slabs, and from
twenty to twenty-five of these layers are
placed in a hydraulic press, separated
from one another by some sheets of thick
blotting paper, and are subjected 10 a
pressure of 150 atmospheres. until all
traces of moisture have been got rid of .
The matter is then passed between rollers
heated 10 between 40 and $50 degrees
Fahrenheit, whence it issues in the form
of elastic sheets.

Something New in Torpedo Boats.
American People.


A serious drawback in torpedo boats is
the emission of smoke and sparks from
their tunnels, which is almost certain to
disclose their whereabouts to an enemy at
night To remedy this evil Messrs Var
row, the well known torpedo boat build
ers, q few years ago constructed a torpedo
boat for the Spanish government in which
two smoke ports were provided, one on
each side of the vessel about fifteen feet
from the bow Each Of the ports was
fitted with damper, under the control
of the steersman, who could direct the
products of combustion through one or
the other at viii. On approaching an
enemy the smoke would be directed
through the port on the uneXposed side
ment some inconvenience was eXpe-
rienced by the crew from the heated
gases, etc, being carried along the deck
at times by the wind Attention has re-
Gently been drawn to an apparatus in
vented by NJ. Oriolle, and which was
tried a short time ago at RochefOrt Ar
senal. BY means Of this device the
smoke undergoes such u change in the
smOkestack that the flames and sparks
entirely disappear from the funnel. The
smoke spreads horizontally over the sur
face of the water and envelopes the boat
III a dense mist, impenetrable to the
electric light. This invention is said TO
have proved satisfactory in every way
and will render torpedo boats at night
absolutely invisible.

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-It is stated that in

Prince Bismarck viii speak favOrably fol
cordial and friendly relations between
Germany and Great Britain.
The whole liberal press protests against
the action of the North German Gazette
in utilizing the letter written by the late
Emperor Frederick to Prince Bismarck
on the occasion of the jubilee of the lat
ter's entering the army. The Vossische
Zeitung says: This personal mark of
attention to the chancellor, especially
when taken in conjunction with the soli-
tude of the commander-in-chi of the
army, is anything but refutation of the
political creed laid down by Frederick in
his diary and in his governmental ac-
