One of the professors in Cambridge
has a little boy named Christopher.
The sayings and doings of the son have
passed into college history. 1t seems
that one day the professor waslying on
his sofa after hard days work in
philosophy, and while in a state of un
conscious cerebration, suddenly caught
sight of Christopher on the floor. The
professor gazed at the boy in deer
silence. Then he said "What would
you do, Christopher, in case yom
father should die?"
Christopher thought for a moment.
Then he lifted his eyes. ooh, don't
worry, father, there's time enough to
think about that when you're dead. -

A Description Of the Devices to be Tried at
Newport.

WAsHISGroN, Feb. 2.-The naval bu-
reau of ordnance has two nets which 1t pur-
poses to test at Newport by firing dummy
shells at them from the torpedo tubes of
the Gushing, which will be used on this oc
c;tssiou. One of the nets is the we'll n
| French net, the Bulliyant, AMI the other
is designed after the thorough examination
of the different systems in use abroa J..
The latter scheme of net defence has been
developed by an American MANUFACTURER.
1t has taken some time to make the booms
and fittings for torpedo defence nets and
experiments have been in progress to dc
termine their proper proportions for mini
mum weight, effective strength and facility
of manipulation
The Bull:yant nets. which are in general
use abroad, are composed of wire grom-
NETS about inches in diameter, connected
by smaller rings. As the speed and mo-
mentum of the attacking has increased it
has been considered necessary to increase
the strength and weight of the nets. The
weight OF one l5 feet on the head and 81
feet deep varies from 30 TO 42n pounds
according to the strength required in the
order, not including shaekles on the head
or leeches or the chain along the foot.
Woolen booms were formerly used. but
the lightncss and mechanical fittings of the
steel ones. such as designed by Bulliyanf,
" re powerful inducement to change, and
they are now used entirely. These are
about 50 feet long, carrying the nets at 80
feet from the hull and the steel anti-torpedo
hawser at-the ends. The topping lifts,guvs,
GU hauls inhamls, and brails are of flexible
te al-wire rope, The lifts have to lead at "A
small angle generally so as not TO interfere
with the gun fire, " hich they would lo if
taken hugh up.
The use of metallic outriggcrs with their
Travellers greatly facilitates and expedites
the operation of rigging AMI sending ont
the nets. II used to he the practice 10 us,
The ships boats for lacing and shacSling on
t. the shitter. it being more quickly done
that way than from on botnl with the
wooden booms in the securing position
That mcthod is objectionable on many ac-
counts and impossible in stormy weather.
The steel booms, to the ends of which the
net is attached, are fitted to be run i'll AMI
out through the ships side by means of
suitable gearing.
The naval bureau Of ordnance proposes
to use in the construction of the net which

The material has been tested with >aiisfac-

be provided for all the var ships.
