VIRGINS AS A NOVELIST.
His Forthcoming Book Deals With Life
on Jupiter.


His Forthcoming Book Deals With Life
Oh Jupiter.
OTTAWA, Ontario, May 22.-Prof. Wig
gins the weather prophet, to-day expressed
surprise upon reading that Edison said IN
Chicago that he hoped to have ready for
tho Worlds fair such a happy combination
of photography and electricity that a man
can sit in his own parlor and see depicted
upon a curtain the forms of the players in
opera upon a distant stage, and to hear the
voice of the singers.
'Why, that's one of the many wonders l
have in my new scientific novel;
You are writing a novel then, are you,
Prof. Wiggins?"
tTTs5,n was the answer. and it is about
finished. | am going to New York next
month to arrange for its publication in the
United States. The title is Jack Suehard;
or, Life on jupiter One of it's objects is
to teach what the people of the earth will
be like politically, religiously and educa-
tionally at the end of the next twenty mil
lions of years. In other words, it is a full
description of the ~Jovians."
why do you not speak OF your novel
in connection with Edison's invention?'
"Well, in one of the first chapters | have
spoken of what the people of Jupiter call a
'starlon,' Il mirror twenty feet square,
which is in every house and a conspicuous
object in every street of their cities. The
news of every continent in Jupiter, OF
which there are nearly 200, each larger than
the Eastern hemisphere, Is printed every
day on a sheet and hung before the princi-
pal stanton in every capital, and by touch
ing a button at the bottom of any stunlon
with the number of the continent the
image of that continents stanton will be
visible in it. 1t is the Jovian newspaper
theater. pulpit and tribune. Persons who
stand before it and deliver An adQress-sf
the story runs-are as visible and thei
voice as audible as if present"
Prof. Virgins expects his novel to Great,
q sensation.

TORPEDOES AND IRONCLADS.

Opinion of Charles NJ. Dobson, Late of
the British Navy.
The work of Whitehead torpedoes in
Gillian waters has proved beyond a doubt
that they are the most fearful engines OF
destruction known to naval engineers. 1t
has also demonstrated to a certain extent
the correctness of the views taken by the
enthusiasts who endorsed and advocated
them from the start. But it must not be
supposed that the navies of the world ara
without meads of protecting the chips
apainst their attacks. There are certain
limitations to the power of %torpedoes, limi-
tations inherent in them, which render
their effectiveness in a great degree contin-
gent upon the ability of those who are
handling them, ana also on many ext.a-
neous things.
apparatus that a current or a slight OBJ
struction in the shape OF q spar or a piece
OF wreckage is enough to defect them from
torpedo. or worse still. the exercise of its
destructive powers against a vessel of the
fleet from which it was fired.
Rooms and nets are enough to render safe
any vessel at anchor, under ordinary cir
cumstances, and a vessel under weigh Is n
hard object to hit. TIL fact that seven
torpedoes were fired at the Blanco Encalada
before one hit it, even though she WAS
riding at anchor and was totally unde-
Tended, proves the uncertainty of the mis-
siles.
The Sims-Edison torpedo, in spite of its
electric steering gear, which renders 1t aw.
fully effective in still water, might be found
useless, or worse, i'll a current, as 1t would
surely be DETECTED from it's course.
While l am of the opinion that torpedoes
will be found useful in warfare. especially
az n means of harbor defense, ! maintain
that the judicious use of booms and nets Is
nm adequate defense. Their demora!izing
effect on the sailors and marines IS, how
ever, analogous to that of shells on land
forces. The flash-light affords sufficient
protection against an attack of torpedo
boath under cover of darkness.
