The Result of Drinking.

1t is now stated on good authority
that the fearful disaster which befcll
the warship Victoria resulting in the
instant destruction of hundreds Of
lives IS another of the long list of ca
lamities which may be set down to the
credit of strong drink. 1t is said that
the fatal order which resulted in the
collision with the Camperdown was
given in fit of recklessness superin-
duced by too much wine drinking. On
no other ground, it is said, can it be ex-
planned why man ordinarily SO cool,
discreet and skillful as Admiral Tryon
should have given an order which the
commonest sailors knew could only re-
suit in disaster 1t is charitable to be-
lieve that Admiral Tryon was not in a
condition of mind to realize what he
was about when he said that six
cable length" instead IT eight should
be the distance between the ships in
that maneuver That two cables of
difference meant swift and awful
death to hundreds of brave men, in
Guiding the admiral himself. 1t was
wine that did it, and not Admiral
Tryon. christian at Work.

: THE BEST TAILOR IN THIS WORLD
THE BEST TAILOR IN THIS STREET
Freaks Among Gold Fishes.

That monstrosities among certain
kinds of fishes may be produced by
violently shaking recently fortified
ova is well known among fish cultur-
lists. In paper, published in the pro-
ceedings of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, Prof. Ryder holds the belief
that it is in this manner that the ORR.
entails accomplished the production of
dOubled-tailed forms of fishes. They
would thus get some complete double
monsters, some with two heads and a
single tail, and some with double tails.
Those having double tails only would
be likely to survive, and these being
selected and bred, would, in all proba-
bility, have the tendency to reproduce
this freak, and by judicious selection
it is quite possible that the variation
would become fixed.

MELTING METALS IN WATER.
Remarkable Electrical Experiments Re-
Gently Made In Berlin.

The remarkable electrical expert
ments recently made in Berlin, in
which "A bar Of iron was apparently
melted by inserting it in cold water,
have naturally stimulated further in
vestigation on the same line. As be-
fore explained, the apparatus used is a
vessel of glass or porcelain, provided
with sheet lead electrode connected
with the positive pole of continuous
current generator; the vessel contains
sulphuric acid and water. A flexible
cable from the negative pole is con-
nected to strong pair of pliers with
insulated handles. Taking in the
pliers a piece of metal of any kind
iron, for instance-and immersing it
in the acidulated water, the liquid is
seen Immediately in ebullition near
the iron rod or plate, which latter is
rapidly heated and brought to daz-
cling white in few seconds, and soon
begins to melt in spark like drops.
The heating is produced so quickly
locally that neither the water nor the
body of the metal rod had time to be.
come hot. SO rapid an evolution oil
heat means IRENE ndously high tenn
perature. In very short time as high
as 900 degrees Fahrenheit has been
developed, which is proved by using a
carbon rod instead of metal one,
when in few moments amorphous
carbon fragments are seen dropping
off. The inventors claim to have at.
tanned with large currents the enor.
mously high temperature of 1900 de-
prees Fahrenheit. or nearly five times
hotter than molten iron. The first sug-
gestion for the practical utilization Of
the discovery was for welding purposes;
to which it is evidently particularly
adapted. Another application which
the experiments would seem To tend
toward is the tempcring of one edge OF
one extremity only Of steel cutting
tools. The hardening Of the skin sur.
face of large pieces Of metal, such n
armoy plates, offers another inviting
field. Krupp. it is stated is already
trying this new method Of electric heat
ing for tempcring the superticial'surfaes
of large guns. boston Transcript.
