WoRK ON NAVAL VESSELS PRoGREssrSa.-Mr.
Cramp, the Philadelphia shipbuilder, was at
the Navy Department today in conference with
officials in regard to the condition of work on
the naval vessels now under construction at
his yard. He said that the work was progress
ing as rapidly as possible, but was hampered
somewhat by the scarcity of materials. For
this reason he could not say positively when
the cruiser New York would be ready for her
trial trip. Cruiser No. u, better known as the
Pirate. Is well under way, and will be ready for
launching by May.

UNDER PRESSURE,
Curious Facts In Regard to Yeast In yari


Gus Conditions.
Yeast placed in saccbarine solution
at ordinary pressures gives rise to the
well known vinous fermentation. I'm
der q pressure of six hundred atmos-
phereS, however, this did not occur, the
yeast falling to the bottom of the liquid,
while the solution of sugar was un-
changed. After removing the pressure
the yeast remained inactive for some
time, and then, resuming its activity,
set up fermentation III the ordinary
way and carried it on to completion. In
a second attempt yeast was put nto
pure water and left for an hour under
IA pressure of one thousand atmos-
pheres. 1t was then transferred to a
solution of sugar at the normal pres
sure, and, after passing through a
period of quiescence, again became
active and appeared to have lost none
of its power as an organized ferment.
From these experiment. Prof Regnaud
concluded that the effect of high pres
sure upon the yeast cells, for the time
during which the experiments lasted,
merely induced the latent condition
and was otherwise harmless. Whether
a more prolonged exposure would ulti-
matelv injure the cells the author does
not appear TO have determined, though
the point is an important one
Anxious, however. to obtain a further
insight into the phenomena, he con-
structed an instrument for registering
the Preventative activity of the yeast
before and after the application of high
Dressures. and was enabled to Obtain d
graphic representation of the process
under normal and various abnormal
conditions. Similar experiments were
made with unorganized ferments, vari-
Gus digestive fluids, and number of
putrescible substances. and in each case
il was found that high pressures COM
pletely arrested the processes which are
normally set up. Still more interesting,
perhaps, are the experiments which
parampcium, vorticella and other low
forms Of life, in which pressures rar~
ing from 300 TO 600 atmospheres, applied
for a few minutes, brought about the
latent condition. Here, however. pro
longed action was fatal For the eXpe-
rlments on actinR, crustaceae and fishes
we must refer TO the volume itself, as
also for the results obtained by pressure
on the animal tissues As regards the
effects of high pressures upon muscular
contraction. nervous conduction. the
circulation Of the blood, and respira-
tIon. the author has some remarkable
results 10 record. The experiments
were made by means Of apparatus spe-
cially constructed bv him TO resist great
preSSure> and permit their effects to be
watched In the result Il was found
that the power Of muscular contraction
i diminished as the pressure increases

perhaps half mile from his camp, and

Sound Advice.

A sensible bit of advice was given not
long ago by colored man to quarrel
some friend. 1t was in brick-ya ard
and two of the workmen had dispute
which ended in blows. In the skirm-
ish one of them was hurt and the en-
ployer, who saw the end Of the fight
and was a man of more temper than
discretion, advised him TO get war
rant for the others arrest. While the
matter was under discussion a colored
man who had seen the whole affair
made his way TO the injured party and
sad: You don't want I get no war

much like that Of the elephant, and
with wide spreading crescent shaped
horns, frequently six feet apart at the
tips. The natives of the east use these
buffalo as beasts of burden, and the
traveller in their jungles is frequently
treated to buffalo milk, and considers
himself in great luck to get it, for it IS
of surprising richness and adds greatly
to the flavor of cup of coffee. Large
herds of these animals run wild in the
jungles, and although in general they
are inoffensive and timid, buffalo
cow defending her calf or an old bull
driven out of the herd by the younger
males is an antagonist in preference to
which experienced hunters would
choose to meet any animal that roams
the junFles, not excepting his highness,
the royal bengal tiger" himself.
A friend of the writer's was at one
time a resident Of British Burmah, in
Farther India. He was connected with
the government forestry depart
ment," and his duties called him fre-
quently into the jungles. Being an
ardent sportsman, he always went on
these journeys well pref pared for meet
ing and Staying all kinds of game, and
his collection of hunting trophies was
of the rarest One glowing evening
late in the dry seasonimy friend, whom
we will call Williams, found himself
encamped on the banks of the Upper
Salven river in the shade of a group of
tsmarind trees. His boatmen were
stretched at full length in the cool
shadows, smoking their hubble
bubbles" as the English have named
the Hindoo imitation of the Turkish
"hookah," while at little distance his
Bmman cook was making preparations
for the evening meal
The sun had just set and Williams
took his light double-barreled fowling
piece in his hand and strolled into the

eyes full upon him, and, with the m uz-
zle of the gun not over eight feet from
his mark, aimed as we'll as possible in
the fast thieLening darkness, aud
pulled the trigger. The report echoed
through the jungle, and as nearly as
Williams could discern the bull rolled
over onto his side. The hunter listened
for'an instant, and concluded that his
shot had stunned the animal, and that
he had better make all posi- bic use of
the time that might elapse before the
brute should regain the use of himself;
So dropping from his perch, Williams
ran as only a man can run when he
thinks his lfc is at stake, and in d few
minutes waa delighted to see the CLEAN
OF his,camp fire through the trees, and
find himself free from further pur-
suit.
The next morning, armed this time
with his heavy rifle, he retraced his
steps to the scene of his adventure OF
the previous night, and was joyfully
surprised TO ind the buffalo lying
where he had fallen at the sound of the
gun the night before, stone dead. and
with a hole directly between HIS eyes
to show where the iron ball had entered.
The little gun, held at close range, had
done the business for him as effectively
as the heaviest Winchester could, and
accomplished a feat that is rare n
deed, viz: to Kill an East Indian buffalo
by shot in the forehead. The skulls
of these animals are so exceedingly
thick that an ordinary lea6en ball gem
orally fattens on their heads as if shot
against a stone wall The hard iron
ball used in this case was too much
even for the obdurate head of the old
bull, and Williams collection was en-
riched by the fnestspecimen Of buffalo
horns he had yet been successful in
taking. g.-Globe-De mocrat-
