shown in the Treasury at Washington the

notes weighed exactly as much rs a $50 gold
piece. A similar trial was made with old soiled
notes, and since these accumulate dirt faster
than they wear out % Of them weighed con-
siderably more than double eagle. The ac-
tual weight Of all the paper money which the
Treasury sends by express every year 10 diff

enormous. Since July ], il has dispatched

NAVAL EXPERIMENT.
A British TOrPedO-boat Attempts 10 Pass PrOteete
Boom.

Experiments were made recently in a creek
in Portsmouth harbOr, England, with a pro-
tecied boom invented by the Naval Commit ee.
The boom consisted Of six wooden baulks. one
foot square aud 40 feet long. arranged with the
ends toward the enemy. The spaces between
the beams were too narrow 10 permit torpedo
vessel TO pass through. The obstacle WAS so.
lidifed by 10 steel hawsers intertwined among
the beams aud faulty attached to barges on
either side To prevent the impact of a tor
pcdO boat from dipping the boom and enabling
u 10 glide over, another siX-inch hawser was
suspended six feet above the boom. The beams
were armed with steel points aud powerful
spikes shaped like bulls horns.
One of the swiftest torpedo-boats in the
British Navy-the one lately commanded by
Prince GeOrEe-was selected TO attempt 10 pass
the boom. The torpedo.boat WAS encased in a
superstructure rising in the center and sloping
toward the extremities in order 10 carry the
elevated hawser over the hull and prevent the
smashing of the funnel and torpedo gear. The
funnel was constructed so rs 10 fall back il
struck. A host of Admiralty officials and
Naval officers were present 10 witness the ex-
periments.
The tOrpodoboat carrying a Lieutenant aud
four seamen, whose lives were insured by tho
Admiralty, dashed forward at the speed of IL
knots an hour, striking the boom in the center.
The boat mounted the first fence, smashing
the boom amidships, but the anchor gear be-
came eutanglcd with the overhead hawscr and
stopped the boat. Even then the boat could
have discharged torpedoes. She was fatally
crippled and remained fixed 10 the beam. The
bow compartments filed with water, the boat
having impingod upon the iron horns, aud the
starboard side was ripped opened. The en-
gines, being reversed, freed the boat. and it
Immediately rolled over on IFS starboard side.
The crew then abandoned her, and she soon
sank.

GaIinn LAKE.

The opinion increases in strength that the
new lake in California has come to stay. Re-
cent examinations support the belief that nine
tenths Of the Colorado River is flowing into
the basin from a gap about II miles below
Yuma. The descent there is about 400 feet.
and the river makes the descent in a series of
jumps and cascades, which is wearing away
the soil rapidly, and increasing the break in
the river. At present the lake is from four 10
seven feet deep. aud il IS thought that the
Winter rains will increase this until IL IS 300
feet deep. and the lake be about $50 miles
long. The Engineers of the Southern Pacific
Railroad have examined the break with a view
TO stopping IT,, but find that il would be too
expensive job. Tho people Of Yuma are
delighted with the prospect. for IL holds mp To
