Description of the New Torpedo by Which
Warships Are Sunk.

Description of the New Torpedo by Which
warships Are Sunk.
The value of the torpedo as an en-.
gine of war was emphatically demon.
strated in the recent Chilian engage
ments The success of the torpedo
vessels in sinking the Blanco Encalada,
one of the largest warships of the
Gillian congressional fleet, with a loss
Of one hundred and sixty men, in the
port of Caldera, has stimulated gen
eral interest in these destructive little
craft. Undoubtedly the striking proof
of their effectiveness will cause the
United States government to provide
itself with an increased number of these
agents which can attack so successfully
a hostile fleet.
OF the torpedos invented in this coun-
try one of the most recent and interest
ing is the Sims Edison, according to
Electricity. Recently test of this
vessel was made in the harbor of Havre,
France, in the presence of a large num-
Der of experts.
The torpedo consists essentially of
two parts. The upper is merely a float,
from which is suspended at the depth
of about six feet or less the torpedo itself;
this contains the explosive, thecontroll-
ing cable which pays out as the torpedo
proceeds, a forty-horse power electric
motor, working thirty-inch screw, and
a polarized relay for working the steer
ing apparatus. The float and the tor
pedo are both composed of sheet copper,
the float being filled with cotton to
render it practically unsinkable; one of
these boats has been under heavy fire
without its buoyancy or efficiency being
seriously affected On the deck are two
folding down standards for steering
purposes, which are so arranged that,
should the boat dive under a log or
wreckage, they fold down into recesses
on the deck, and on being liberated re-
gain their vertical position. The lines
of the float are well designed for high
speeds, having fine bow and cutwater
and the stern well cut away aft.
, The torpedo is suspended from the
float by means of strong steel stays.
The forward stay is well cut away to
enable the boat to dive under spars or
wreckage that it may encounter. This
property of the boat has been put to
severe test with eminently satisfactory
results. .
The torpedo consists of four separate
compartments which can be taken
asunder and reassembled in fifteen min
utes, thus rendering the torpedo very
easy of transport in holds of ships or
elsewhere,

A GREAT CHANGE.

The New York Press says it is
difficult for people in the United
States to appreciate the extent of the
change brought about within three
years in the Argentine Republic,
The great initiation of values and the
fictitious prosperity based upon money
borrowed from British and other
European capitalists have disappeared,
and compulsory economy and penury
are the rule. Former millionaires
have wilted until some of them have
barely enough for decent existence,
and others retain but the shadow of
their once glittering wealth. t.
Ex-President Juarez Celmsn, for in
stance, who was supposed to have ac-
cnmulated So l,OOO,OO has come down
to dragging out an existence in the
country with one servant to attend to
the wants of himself and his family.
Other prominent men who were in
aff1uence are now in absolute poverty,
and it is not too mu III to say that the
majority OF the inhabitants of Argen-
tine are worse off than before the in
toxication of European loans caused
them to lose all power of restraint
over their judgment.
Buenos Ayres has lost one-fifth of
it's population, and still the number of
residents is far in excess OF the number
required by the trade and business of
the city. The property stricken APP
pearance of the Argentine capital is
in strange contrast to the lavish
expenditure which distinguished it in
recent years. Unfinished buildings
and public works are seen everywhere;
the pavements OF the streets are
breaking up, and scarcely any attempt
is made to repair the damage, and the
picture is altogether one of general
dilapidation. And now the whisper
of reputation is growing louder and
louder.
Such is the condition of an Ameri-
can republic which was content to
play toward Europe the part of a
spendthrift protege, instead of build
ing up native industries, which would
have retained its capital In the coun-
try. Argentine borrowed many mil
lions of dollars from European bankers,
and then expended the money largely,
If not chiefly, in paying for European
products and maintaining European
industries. The money found its way
back to Europe. and Argentina has

This is the condition to which the
Cleveland free traders would like to

American industries. They would

The Driver Was Fined.

William Muller. New York truck
driver, was recently charged with cruelty
to animals Joseph Proctor, driver of a
Ninth avenue car, said that while nearing
the corner of Fourteenth street on his up
town trip Muller was driving heavily
loaded furniture van through the street
and notwithstanding he had stopped his
car and turned his horses, the defendant
had deliberately run into the horses
struck one with the fore wheel of his
truck, and when the animal struggled to
get up, having fallen, it caught it's hind
leg in the hind wheel of the truck, and the
leg was broken. The driver was corrobo-
rated by the conductor and a fireman who
happened TO be passing at the time.
Muller, in his defense said he was in a
hurry to get to the ferry and signaled the
driver of the car to hold up, but said he
did not do SO, and the accident must have
been caused by his own carelessness. He
said he knew nothing about the breaking
of the horses leg until he had reached the
ferry, when he was arrested. The court
believed the car driver and fined Muller
twenty dollars.

Laconic Letter Writers.

1t is not often that SO neat compliment
can be conveyed in a laconic letter as that
which is credited to James Russell Lowell.
When Lowells first wife died rumors were
rife as to his re-entering matrimonial
bonds with another lady. A friend of his
-alady--took every possible opportunity
of correcting this report, which she be-
lieved to be untrue. Hearing it 80 often
repeated, however, she began to think
there must be some truth in it, and made
up her mind to write Lowell and get at
the facts. She begged him to let her know
the true state of affairs-whether she was
to believe him a never-to-be-consoled hus-
band, or after all, ''just like any other
man." The answer was prompt aud brief:
DEAR MADAM-Yours, like any other man.
Charles Dickens was usually the most
courteous of letter writers, but he could be
curt enough on occasions. An Oxford un.
dergraduate took the liberty Of sending
Dickens some of his poems, with view to
insertion in Household Words" of which
Dickens was editor. With the verses he
sent note which ran thus:
notwithstanding that you insert rhymes
in your serial, send you some.
TO this Dickens replied:
A'AN w V oC hov iAoOi1 iayAuC WkbuOub ICd-
son.
The stage furnishes us with another la
comic letter. Quin had withdrawn to Bath,
soured by the triumphs of Garrick. He
desired to be asked back to Covent garden,
but Rich would not humor him. He wrote:
/ am at Bath Yours, JAMES QUIN.
And received the reply:
Stay there and he hanged. Yours,
JOHN RICH.
Verbosity is the besetting sin of all Off
cial correspondence, SO that laconic dis
patch is refreshing.

ury, wrote to S. Dinsmore, collector at the
port of Mobile:

Elephant ON Toast.

The young man from the country took
his green necktie and his best girl into a
restaurant on Woodward avenue, and like
some young men when the girls are around
he was disposed to be facetious at the
walters expense.

elephant"
'sYassir," replied the waiter perfectly
unmoved.
'And, waiter. bring it on toast"
"Yassir'
Then he stood there like statue for a
minute.
"Well," said the young man. ''are you
going to bring itP"
"Yassir'
"Why don't you, then?"
"Orders is, sir, dat we has to git pay in
advance for elephants, sir. Elephants on

did, and the young man climbed down.

The Lawyer from st. Paul Gould Not BE
Contradicted.
In certain village which rejoiced in the
possession of only one lawyer an action
was commenced before Justice S., and
W., the local attorney, retained by the
plaintiff. The defendant employed coun-
sel from the county seat. but the return
day came and no lawyer appeared. De-
fendant, In distress, was relating his woes
to group of idlers on the lookout for fun
and mischief, when a stranger appeared
wearing suit of black with silk hat and
gold headed cane. This was one A., a
stree peddler" from neighboring town, a
fellow of much versatility and acumen,
and withal considerable of wag,
Some one Of the group, seeing sport
ahead, told the defendant that A. was
Judge x, great lawyer from st. Paul,
and that If the judge could be prevailed
upon to take his case victory was sure.
To carry out the joke the defendant was
introduced to the pseudo judge, and ex-
planning the situation besought his aid.
A. condescendingly replied that, although
he had long since ceased to practice in
these inferior courts, he appreciated the
hard situation Of his would be client, and
would consent to undertake his defense.
When ushered into the presence Of the
court he was introduced to bis honor as
Judge K, of St. Paul. S., highly elated at
the honor of having such eminent counsel
appear in his court, at once called the case.
A. arose, made motion to dismiss, and
argued with great pomposity and at con-
siderable length, quoting pretended de-
cisions of the supreme courts of the United
States and the state Of Minnesota, refer
ring to Blackstone and every other law
writer of whom he had ever heard, and not
omitting the most open and shameless fat
terry of the magistrate. When he con-
cluded and sat down, W., the local coun-
sci, arose to reply, whereat the justice
smote the table laundering blow and
cried in voice pregnant with righteous
indignation: Sit down, siri That is Judge
x, of st. Paul. Don't you suppose he
knows the law2 What do you mean by at
tempting to contradict himP This case
