Firing Great Guns By Electricity.

On some of the larger European
ships of war, and on few United
States Vessels, arrangements have been
made for firing the guns by electricity.
This is usually accomplished by caus-
ing the current from an ordinary zinc
carbon battery to pass through what
is known as an electric primer, insert.
ed in the vent of the gun. The primer,
as used in the United States service, is
simply quill tube nearly filled with
small grained powder, and containing
a fine platinum wire wrapped with a
wisp of cotton-gun. The platinum
wire is connected with the wires of
the electric battery. When the battery
circuit is closed, the platinum becomes
instantly white hot, thus igniting the
primer and firing the gun. The firing
key with which the circuit may be
closed at pleasure, is placed in the
pilot tower, or some other position
where it is directly under the control
of the commanding officer, and the cir
cult is of course kept open until the
instant of firing. The advantages
claimed for such system are many.
obNlOuslN uuutI sOlilc circumstances,
as, for example, where it is desirable
TO concentrate the whole broadside up
on a certain point, and TO fire all the
guns together, such an arrangement
would have a great advantage over the
ordinary method of depending upon
the simultaneous action of the gunners.
Again, it is no uncommon occur
renee in battle for ships guu-decks
to become so enveloped in smoke that
the enemy cannot be seen by the men
at the guns, and in such cases, with an
electric system, the firing could be
done by am officer clear of such an OBJ
struction. Usually the electrical appli-
ances admit, also, of the guns being
fired singly and in succession; and for
cases where the ship is rolling heavily
from side to side, an automatic cir.
cuit-closer" is sometimes employed,
which, after the regular firing-key
has been pressed, closes the circuit and
discharges the guns the instant the YES.
eel reaches an upright posi;ion.-Scrib

There is a gentle

is evident that he has made up his

The Wassail Bowl.

The drinking customs OF Christmas
originated with our Anglo-Saxon fore
,athers, with whom iCaes hael, or twas
sail" answered to the present "good
health" The story which attributes
.he origin of the wassail bowl to the
iair Lady Rowena, the daughter Of
Prince Vortigern, who by her winning
ways took captive her proud conqueror,
s graceful enough to be true. and has,
perhaps, some foundation, in fact, but
The custom was long anterior. Some
Of these wassail bowls or loving cups
,urIously wrought in the middle ages
are still extant, and when brought for

Notes.

Use Turkish towels for the kitchen
well, wash easily and require no IRON
ing.
An old broom with the straws trim
med evenly, and a scrubbing cloth
fastened over it, makes a good floor
mop.
Make "tacks" or comfOrtables for
everyday use of domestic gingham,
instead of calico. 1t only costs a trifle
more. will wash better and wear as
long again.
After the dust has been well beaten
out of the carpets and they are put
J down again they can be very much
freshened by sprinkling corn meal
mixed with coarse salt over them and
then sweeping it all off again.
The best way to clean out lead pipes
without the expensive aid of plumber
is to pour a strong solution of concen-
trated lye down them. The lye viii
dissolve hair, lint, indeed all animal
and most vegetable matter and SO open
the pipes.
Use honeycomb or crochet bedspreads
for all common use. They can now
be obtained of fair quality as low as
75 cents and an excellent one for 81 .25.
They are not heavy TO wash and look
better when not ironed, but pulled out
straight to dry.
Bring out all the winter underwear
and thoroughly repair it during the
few odd hours and days of the busy
month of September, which, with its
canning, preserving, and picking of
fruit, leaves the tired housewife indis-
posed for any nicer sewing.
Use clean white tablecloths every
day, though il necessitates rigid econo-
my in washing and ironing in some
other department of the house. Moth
ing more surely shows good breeding
than fine table manners and you can
never teach your children these while
habitually eating off an oilcloth spread
or a slovenly linen one.
Have an under tableclOth of colored
cotton flannel on your dining table. 1t
will not only make the linen look bet
ter but dull very much of the noise
caused by moving dishes, and will re-
pay its original cost in one year, in the
added wear of the linen ones. princi-
pally on the edges of the table, where
they otherwise wear out first.
If the children's flannel dresses are
all grease add borax to the water in
which you wash them. Dissolve a
large tablespoonful of borax in a pint
of boiling water, put about third of
it in the first suds in which the garment
is to be washed (yOu should never rub
soap directly on woollen goods) anoth-
er third in the next water; shake the
garments thoroughly before hanging
them up to dry.
About as good a way as any to clean
black silk is to take ammonia and alco-
part of ammonia to three of
alcohol-add half as much hot water,
and, laying the silk over an old sheet
folded in four thicknesses, rub with
black rag or sponge dipped in the
mixture. Have ready some old broom
curtain poles or other round
smooth sticks and wrap the silk on them
as tightly and smoothly as possible
Let it dry III this position; it will need
no ironing.

A NEGRO IyvEsrs AN AIR SHIP.
Thomas H. Crump Claims to Have
Solved the Problem of Aerial Navf-
cation.

Thomas II. Crump Claims to Have
Solved the Problem of Aerial Navi-
CATION.
Thomas Fl. Crump, negro, possibly
10 years of age, though seemingly
younger, is himself an evidence of the
mental ability to which the race may
ay claim, as being but one of many,
md that not the highest type. He is
now employed in a responsible posi-
ion in a wholesale house at 27l South
Franklin street. He is q man who has
travelled considerably, and being of
effective, studious turn of mind, has
for many years past given his leisure
hours over to the study of mechanics.
Not content with mastering the rudi-
nents of mechanical construction, Mr..
Crump, being also the possessor of an
inventive bump, some years ago set to
work on a contrivance of his own, and
rs result of his labors he now proudly
displays the patent drawings and speci-
ications of an air ship which appears
% have solved the many difficulties
heretofore met by other inventors of
machines for aerial navigation.
In his patented air ship Mr.. Crump
claims to have solved the problem of
ierial navigation. About four years
igo, he says, while travelling in Califor-
1ia and the British provinces he began
itudying the various methods of trans
)ortation, which resulted in the forma-
ion and maturing of the plans of his
rir ship.
The device, tersely described; CON-
,rises a double car on small wheels,
With elevated wings which are kept in
notion by a small oil engine in the car
The wings, with the exception of being
,ounded at the ends, are fashioned
rfter the pinions of a large bird. From
ip to tip they measure 60 feet, being %
;eet each from front to aft, each wing
laving break joint about midways
md furnished with reaction springs.
IN the up stroke the break joints drop
Ibout 45 degrees, to offer as little res
stance to the air as possible. On the
lown stroke the pressure of air, togeth-
n with the reactionary springs, gives
he wings their proper position. The
Hings are to be constructed of delicate
iteel framing and lined with oiled silk,
pver which is to be fine wire netting
rhe fronts of the wings are to be con-
;aved, so that i'll Tapping they will
each forward and assist in propelling
he ship. The movement of the wings
5 caused by four small horizontal
wheels, turned by one master wheel,
which is connected by universal joint
haft to the engine.
IN front of the wings is a rudder,
which governs the altitude of the ship
while the steerage rudder is attached
o the centre of the contrivance in the
ear of the wings.
The tail of the ship is to be bird shape
o assist in maintaining its equilibrium
1t is claimed that the airship can be
through the air at a rate of
hirty miles an hour. Its capacity
will be about 500 pounds, and it can
,e constructed for 50 800,

Does any housewife throw away
crusts and odd pieces of bread, or does
she only slip them into the cstch-all,
when no one is looking? All We that
are tempted in this way know that
crusts carefully saved can be made in
to griddle cakes, puddings, meat dress
ings, fish cakes; and when dried in the
oven and ground up with the rolling
pin they can be used for thickening
soups and gravies, or for any purpose
for which rolled crackers are used.
The pan of crusts carefully kept will
save the measure of meal or crackers,
and leave another little coin in the
purse to be generous with, or 10 wear
