How Could He?

A man had called upon one of the
homeliest women in the city, who not
long before had had her portrait
painted The artist had done his
work well, from friendly and social
point of view, and the lady was cor
respondingly pleased. She was not so
blind as not to see, however; but the
picture was, as one might say, little
''idealized.
AS she showed it to her caller she
said:
There, what do you think of it?
Don't you think Mr.. - has rather
fattered me?'
The gentleman looked at the picture,
looked at the lady, and, with an elo-
quent sigh, answered:
''Ah, my dear Mrs. -, how could a
painter sit in your company and not
fatter you?"

A FEARFUL WEAPON.
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-
CINE of war was emphatically demon
strated in the recent Gillian engage
ments. The success of the torpedo
| vessels in sinking the Blanco Encalada,
one of the largest warships of the
Gillian congressional feet, 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
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 large num-
| Der of experts.
The torpedo consists essentially of
two parts. The upper is merely float,
from which is suspended at the depth
of about six feetor less the torpedo itself;
this contains the explosive, the controll-
, 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 filed with cotton to
render it practically unsuitable; 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 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 a 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
wreclkage 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
