Btill another torpedo, this one the in
yention of an Austrian Count, Buano-
corsi by name, has made It's appearance
in the European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trial of this instrument
they were eminently successful, giving
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from a
reservoir upon the propeller without
any assistance or intervention from
machinery. The propulsion is effected
by twin screws working inversely and
giving a velocity greater and more
continuous, 1t Is contended, than any
obtained in other torpedoes. One remark
able feature of this invention is the fac
ulty of automatic guidance, which
enables it to avoid protective nets and
shields, and to dive any distance before
rising to give it's blow

From the region OF ice and snow, and
of poachers and smugSlers, the cut
ter Rush comes. Her half-dozen guns
were in prime condition, not har'
ing been fired on the trip, and her h, Id
was not laden with the spois of seizure.
But she brought interesting news.
The most interesting result of the trip
of the Rush was visit paid by the
officers to Bogoslov Island where is the
famous volcano Of that name. In CONVEX
sation with one Of the officers an inter.
esting resume was obtained OF the DIS
coveries and data cleaned by the visit.
Bogoslov is sixty miles west southwest
of Oonalaska. 1t originally consisted OF
one island with two craUers, one OF
which first sprang into activity in 1882
Last winter the island was he scene OF
strange CONFUSION of nature. The
second crater, now known as New
Bogoslov, became active. In some
powerful CONFUSION the sandspit which
had connected the two parts OF the
island was submerged and one crater
was separated from the other by several
fathoms Of water it is thought that
during this convulsion changes occurred
in New BogOslov below the water line;
that assures we're opened, through which
volumes of water made their way into
the caldron within. This accounts for
the immense quantities. of steam which
the officers Of the Rush saw escaping
from the crater at a distance of fully
sixty miles.
OF the two craters, New Bogoslov
offered the most interesting field OF
study to the officers of the Rush. They
ascertained the crater to be only 200 feet
above the sea level. The peak had dis
appeared in the gaping hole. Along the
sidaS OF the volcano large deposits of
lava, pumice, ashes, and volcano rock
were seen. From assures on the level
earth springs of boiling sulphur arose
| to heights from seven TO ten feet. The
| officers p AIMED an ascent to the crate,
"a hazardous feat which could only he
| attempted when favorible wind car
ried the sitting volumes Of sulphurous
| steam in single direction. When near
the mouth of the crater the footballs Of
| the officers We're echoed within the vol
cano. On peeping over the edge OF the
mouth an impressive sight was wit
messed. Steam in endless quantities
rushed up from unknown depths, and
rumbling bubbling noises, like that Of
thunder, were heard The air was i'm
| pregnated with sulphur and near the
crater one could breathe only with diff
| Guilty.
One of the most novel discoveries in
connection with the ascent was that the
ocean birds used the volcano Island as a
natural incubator for their young. Thou
sands OF gulls flew away at the approach
of the Rush. They left behind them,
elong the sides of the valcano, eggs in
all stages Of development.

The mail train on its up trip last
Friday evening met with the most Sc
rious accident that has ever befallen
it, 1t ran into an open switch, that
had been carelessly left in that con-
dition by some one, at Wizards mill,
just below Townshend station. The
open switch led on to a low tressle
and from this the engine was hurled
down distance of about eight feet
and was badly demoralized. The en-
gineer, +. H. Baldwin, and the fire.
man, A. w. Shattuck, had no warn
ing whatever, failing to notice the
switch, and went down also, but
most miraculously escaped serious in
jury. Mr.. Baldwin got severe cut
over the left eye and a number of
bruises on different parts of his body
that has kept him pretty close to his
room since; Mr.. Shattuck, with moth
ing more serious than a few bumps,
was ready to resume his position on
Monday. These two probably owe
their lives to the fact that the engine,
in going over, broke lose from the
tender leaving it hanging over the
brink. Had it gone over it would
have landed on top of them. The
passenger and baggage cars remained
on the track, although all the trucks
but the rear pair were derailed, an6
none of the passengers were injured
