What "Burgoo" Is,

"Burgoo," explained Col. James Orr,
of Covington, lis one of the Oldest Ken
lucky dishes we have. No one knows
who first made 'burgoo, nor does any
one know where or how it got its queer
name. 'Burgoo' is an out of doors crea-
ton, and pots Of 'burgoo' have simmered
over hot fire in the sun at every big
political gathering in the state since
Henry Clay was boy, and years before
that, too. 1t is not only an extremely
palatable dish, if you can call it that,
but it's very nourishing. 'Burgoo' is a
cross between stew and soup 1t is
always made in the open air.
"How is it made? Well, take big
cauldron, put some red pepper pods in
the bottom, add some potatoes, tomatoes
and corn; then put in half adozen prairie
chickens, as many more tender yellow
legs and couple of dozen soft shell
crabs. l add some young squirrels when
they can be obtained. When everything
is in readiness there is enough water put
into the cauldron to just make the con-
tents float.
''Then it is put on the fire. It must
be allowed to simmer slowly for six
hours, and must be stirred constantly
with hickory stick. A hickory stick is
best and is always used, but another
might do as well. When it is nearly
done it may be favored to suit the taste.

About Torpedo Boats.

The next most important thing to
speed in "a torpedo boat is the quick
turning, and for this purpose the larger
Normand, Schicau and Yarrow boats
have two rudders, one in the usual place
at the stern and one under the bow.
Mr.. Thornycroft has another device.
He puts two curved rudders near the
stern and the propeller is between them,
so that when the rudders are turned to-
gether, the water which the propeller is
driving astern is turned little to one
side aud helps to push around the boat.
The latest idea in torpedo boats is to
have their launching tubes mounted on
turn tables ON deck instead of being
fixed in the bow. With this improve
ment boat will not have to steam
straight at her enemy, stop, launch its
torpedo and then turn to run away; but
it can train its tube on the big ship as if
the tube were o gun, and launch the tor
pedos Will ruAhi,1g past at full speed.
This woui. be less dangerous for the
torpedo boat, for it would not afford the
men on the ship good aim at her,

Glycerine as a Wool preseryative.

OiyccrAhe Us n WOOl lTeseTVbVAves
In order to make wool tissues water
proof manufacturers have to expose the
fabric to temperatures as high as 266 to
284 degs Fahrenheit, and it has been
found that the tissue thus treated loses
all its resistance. Up to 230 degs. there
is no change in wool or wooden goods,
but when heated to 266 degs. or above
both turn yellow and show evidences of
combustion. By series of experiments
Mr.. ]. Perzog, an eminent French an
alytical chemist, has discovered new
process by means of which wool threads
and fabrics may be made to retain their
durability and original resistance under
high temperature during the process of
manufacture.
Acting upon the established fact that
glycerine greatly prevents evaporation
of humidity, Mr.. Perzog saturated some
woolen fabrics with solution contain
ing 10 per cent. Of glycerine, and ex-
posed them to high temperatures. The
fabrics thus treated showed not the
slightest change under temperature of
2S4 degs. Fahrenheit, and they retained
13 per cent of the glycerine. The dis
covery of this simple principle removes
one of the greatest difficulties with
which manufacturers of waterproof
fabrics have had to contend.-P : del

An Odd Coincidence.

An old friend (call him W. relates
how, while he was in Florida, his watch
stopped. Since it was a very good
watch and had never stopped before,
and had been duly wound the evening
before, w. was much surprised that it
wouldn't go. By and by the head of the
house (call him b. came in. "Will you
please give me the time" said w. "Cer-
tainly," said B., and pulled out his
watch. B. had a timepiece which was
entirely trustworthy, not given to irreg-
ularities of any kind. He pulled it out
of his pocket. "By Jove!'' he exclaimed,
''my watch is stopped; that's queer"
They compared the two watches, and
they had stopped at the same hour and
at the same minute, and why they had
stopped neither man was able to discov-

sharp DIAMOND smugglers.

We are informed that a jewelry firm
not far from Madison square, on Broad
way, succeeded in getting a number of
diamonds past the customs officials in a
peculiar way.
The diamonds numbered between
eighty and ninety, and were worth in
the vicinity of $4,000, as they were all
large stones.
On the invoice they were billed as i'm
itation French jewels of the new kind.
These diamonds are made of brilliant
pieces of glass highly polished and deftly
covered with thin coating of genuine
diamond shavings. These stones are so
expertly made that it is almost impossi-
BILE to detect the imitation even by the
use of strong microscope. The tell
tale feature of the imitation stone is
roughness around the circular edge at
the widest part of the stone, where the
two layers of the diamond coating join
This is really the only way that the
imitation can be detected. Emeralds,
pearls and rubies are also made in this
way. 1t is necessary to use q micro
scope to detect this roughness about the
edge.
When the consignment of supposed
imitation diamonds arrived the assist
ant appraiser assigned to gauge their
value examined each stone carefully with
powerful microscope, and found that
all of them had the tell tale roughness
ON the edges. He accordingly allowed
them to be delivered to the consignees
on payment of the duty based upon a
valuation of 5000. This saved the firm
some 81 200 in duty.
AS matter of fact the jewelers. knew
the means taken by the custom house
authorities to discover if the stones were
imitation OF not, and had filed the edges
of the diamonds before shipment from
the other side, SO that they resembled
the spurious articles. Cata-

An Octogenarian Up a spire.

A venerable athlete of Leyweller, who
is known throughout Lothringen and
the Erckmann- -Chatrian country as ''Old
Vetter Michel" made a wonderful ex-
hibition of his undiminished prowess one
day. Although he has passed his eight
ieth year, the lively old gentleman act
ually climbed to the top of the spire of
the parish church of Saar-Alben, which
is 132 feet high. There he stayed some
minutes, turning the weathercock round
and round, and performing few other
gymnastic feats. He then came down
again as quietly and composedly as he
had assembled, amid the cheering of the
crowd of admirers. The athletic world
will surely acknowledge "Vetter Mi
chel" to be the champion grand old man
of the profession, although less sympa-
thetic critics will probably say that there
is no fool like an old fool-Pall Mall

As one Of the results of the election in Vir-
