Ericsson's latest inventions in vessels.
the submarine wM-ship The Destroyer.
which has for many years lam almost un.
noticed IN the mud at the nayy-yard, is at
last to be put through a series OF expert
ments that may be largely instrumental In
making her the type Of a new series OF yes-
sells for Uncle SANS navy. The vessel Is
owned by Ericssons heirs, but Congress
appropriated $4,000 in the Naval Appro.
priation bill Tor experiments with her. and
Captain Mccormick headed a board that
surveyed her and sent on report TO Wash
ington. Now the heirs have put the boat in
charge OF company, that will conduct the
experiment, and preparations are being
made To get her in readiness % leave the
yard. In the course OF a few months IL il
also probable that the Destroyer will be-
ntted with new submarine gun, after an
improved pattern invented BY Ericsson
after he built the Destroyer.
COTTON CARGO on FIRE.
The iron steamer Alamo. from galveston.
passed quarantine this morning with her
cargo on fire. The Alamo is one OF the best
boats in the Mallory Line fleet. She has
room in her hold for 1890 bales OF cotton.
lt Is said that the rolling OF the ship at sea
may have moved the bales and that the
friciion Of their iron bands possibly started
the fire. The vessel was towed to the Erie
basin breakwater, and a tre-boat IL work
ing to save the cargo.

print of the holy face on the towel of II.
Veronica. Back OF the face In the mosaic
Is the representation Ot the towel the folds
and creases in which are wonderfully
brought out. The face and It's eNpression
are siartlI < at first sight. Looking at the
eyes from one point Of observation they
