pier, will support a draw which will
give an opening of 200 feet space on
either side for vessels to pass, and the
span Immediately south OF the draw span
will be 375 feet The whole structure
is to be Of steel built ten feet above the
high water of 1876 and forty feet above
low water.
On account of the sandy formation it
will be necessary to go down eighty feet
below low water to get firm founda-
ton There it rests on a foundation of
coarse gravel similar to that upon which
the great bridges across the Missouri
river are built. This gigantic structure
will cost over 81, 600, 900 and employ
hundreds OF men IN its erection. 1t will
be January 1, 1892, before the cars can

A poor little faded woman had been
brought into court, as witness in very
disagreeable case, involving serious
issues. The entire case depended on
the fact that paper had beon signed
on certain day, and this the forlorn
little woman was prepared to prove it.
"You saw the paper signed?" asked
the opposing counsel, in cross-examina-
ton.
"Yes, sir"
"And you take your oath that it was
the Both OF August.
Il know it was. sir.
The lawyer, who thought another
date could be proven, assumed an exas-
perating smile, and repeated her words.
you know it wasl And now, be so
good as to tell us just how you know
it."
The poor little creature looked from
one countenauce to another with wide
sorrowful eyes, as if she sought under
standing and sympathy. Then her gaze
rested on the face of the kindly Judge.
Il know" she said, as if speaking to
MIN alone, because that was the day
the baby died.

No Iiad spoken, but Immediately CON-
menced violent attack upon the crab
II was impossible to bring any Of the
largo gums to bear upon her, for she was
almost under the stern Of the Lenox, but
every means Of offense which Infatuated
ingenuity could suggest was used against
It. Machine guns were trained to fire
almost perpendicularly, and shot after
shot was poured upon that portion of its
glistening back which appeared above
the water.
But as these projectiles seemed to have
no effect upon the solid back of Crab II,
two great anvils were hoisted at the end
OF the spanker boom and dropped, one
after the other, upon it. Tho shocks
were tremendous. but the internal con-
struction OF the crabs provided, by
means of upright beams, against injury
from attacks OF this kind, and the great
masses Of iron slid of into the sea with.

with spring armor. he had made two
long cruises in her, and he bitterly hated
her, from her keel up.

was not known exactly how ventilation
was supplied to the submarine vessels of
the syndicate, nor how the occupants
were enabled to make the necessary OBJ
servations during action. When under
way the crabs sailed somewhat elevated
above the water. but when engaged with
an enemy only small portion Of their
covering armor could be seen.
twas surmised that under and be-
tween some Of the scales Of this armor
there was some arrangement of thick
glasses, through which the necessary OBJ
servation could be made; and it was be-
ieved that, even if the heavy perpen-
dicular shots did not crush in the roof Of
a crab. these glasses would be shattered
BY conclusion. Although this might ap-
pear a matter of slight importance, it
was thought among naval officers it
would necessitate the withdrawal Of a
crab from action
In consequence Of the idea that the
crabs were vulnerable between their
overlapping plates. some of the Ada
mant's boats were fitted out with Cat
ling and machine guns, by which
shower Of balls might be sent under the
scales, through the glasses and into the
body of the crab. In addition to their
guns, these boats would be supplied with
other means of attack upon the crab.
Of course it would be impossible to
destroy these submerged enemies by
means OF dynamite or torpedoes; for
with two vessels in close proximity, the
explosion of torpedo would be as dam
ge-ous 20 the hull of one as to the other.
the British admiralty would not allow
even the Adamant to explode torpedoes
or dynamite bombs under her own stern.
With regard to a repeller. or spring
armored vessel, the Adamant would RELY
upon her exceptionally powerful arma-
ment and upon her great weight and
speed. She was fitted with twin screws
and engines Of the highest power, and
