4 Eurcian's Plan for Crossing tho At

It Is said that new maritime inven-
ton, intended to revolutioniZe the pres
ert system of marine locomotion, is be-
ing perfected by Lieut.. Apostolcw. of
the Russian navy. The other day a
private exposition ives given of the in
Ccnious models before Admiral Van der
Fleet, Baron D:strom, Capt Pereleschin
and other naval officers, in the directors
room OF the Russian company's estab-
lish1nent Mt Odessa. Sufficient Informal
ton hns been collected by the London
Transcript to show that Lieut. Apostle
lows new ship has neither screw nor
paddle. There Is, instead, kind Of
running electrical gear right round the
vessels hull, under the water line, and
revolving mechanism. which will pro-
pei the ship from Liverpool to New
York III tventy-cight hours. This, how
ever, is bat one part of the Russian s
scheme. Some unreasonably timid per-
sc-,s, Lieut. Apostoiow iIna,;incs, might
object to the discomfort Of being
svishcd through the Atlantic pillows
at the ratio Of one hundred and thirty
Knots an hour. To these he offers the
alternative of q submarine passage
without rock, roll or vibration. and
with good supply Of oxygen and
hydrogen during the short voyage" "
What the cars officers think of the
Arcstoiow plans is not recorded. All
that is known Is that the lieutenant has
quilted Odessa for Moscow and ST.
Petersburg, where &c intends to exhibit
his models before he cmbarizs with
them for that valha1la of invention

says London paper OF recent date. In
the chair WIS Sergt. Herbert of the
Fourth Light Dragons, while Lieut.
Wightn:an of the Seventeenth lancers
occupied the vice chair. The commit
tee by whom the banquet was organ
lied searched the United Kingdom for
survivors. and the result was tho ap-
pcarancc of twenty-scvcn men only. AS
they met hearty g1znsps were given,
and the old familiar names called out
Jimmy" Pete" Harry" ''Bill,"-
answered to the old call, and as hands
were wrung one gray-haircd veteran
would say TO another: Good old chum,
we managed to wriggle together for
many year" The medals which were
worn spoke of service in India during
themutlny as we'll rs in the Crimea. and
though the Veterans. with one cxcep-
ton, wore plain clothes, on every breast
the medals were conspicuously dis
played There were over thirty guests
present, noncommissioned officers in
the old regiments. So that the old and
the new life mingled together and COM
radcship was cementcd in good nut

OF those present in the charge there
were nine Of the Eleventh hussars, nine
of the Seventeenth lancers, eight of tho
Fourth light dragons, one of the
Scots Greys and two Of the Eighth
Royal Irish hussars. The single sur
vivor who wore his uniform, and prob
ably the finest man in tho company,
YVES Sergt. Fawl1e, who stood six feet
in height and measured fortyfour
inches around the chest. He was twen-
ty-two years of age when he rode with
the Scots Grcys in the famous charge
imnoTtalized by the dead laureate.
There is not n white hair to be seen In
his closely cut black crop; his checks
are clean shaven, and his black mus
tachc is pointed Ia militairc. This
man Of sixty not only stands erect and
firm upon his legs, but rcjoiccs In his
strength, and in proof thereof he cut
bars of lead through with one sweep @:
his sword, and played with o forty
pound club In o way to nstonish every
one. The gallant sergeant wears upon
his breast the Crimean medal, with
three clasps Tor Balalslava, InlScrraan
and SevastopoL ind also the Turkish
medal, and his forehead and cheeks
show now the marks of sword cut and
bullet wounds. There We're seven
wounds in all received by Fawkc on tho
eventful day, three of which were on

The Stcieal Ciiaee.

A surgeon who ms had opportunity
to observe the Chinese under operations
says "as stoical race they beat the In.
dians." They object to an9sthesia, and
submit to anputation OF limbs without
an outcry. They have no fear of death,
and prefer to suicide by opium rather
than to live in helpless, crippled condi-
ton, a burden on their friends. So sur
gcou's best efforts in their behalf often
come to nought Their wounds heal
quickly, which is attributed to their
cleanliness and diet (Innirly vegcta-
rian). Their tissues, under the surgeons
knife, seem more dense and elastic, or
less aabby than the flesh Of e caucasian.

Few Pccp.o Actually So Constituted G3 to
Be Satisfied with It Alone.
AS matter of fact, the chief i'm
preston produced by great wealth,
even in America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There are many things that people
really value more than wealth ct any
tiIne-perhaps, thinks Harper's Bazaar,
valuing wealth only as means for
these things. In youth people prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth
is thrown away reckiessly for the sake
of such ends. After the matu-er tastes
are developed people have no objection
to wealth for the sake of other ains
which 1t may promote, but iS is not p
substitute for those aims The artist
loves art, the man of science loves
science, the student loves study,
the inventor loves invention, the
domestic man loves home. Even the
man of action loves action mainly as q
thing attractive in itself. he would
readily accept wealth Us q means of
achieving his other purposes. but he
would not sell those purposes for
wealth. The proof OF this is that he
does net; indeed, he often irpover-
ishes himself for his own pursuits 'Bo-
yond very moderate account" wrote
Coleridge, Il regard money as a real
evil" The man of other pursuits knows
that one cannot possibly be very rich
and carry on those pursuits also. SO en-
crossing is the mere care of property.
and so difficult and absorbing is tho
wise use OF it. Many prominent artist
or author has been simply ruined for
the purposes for which he was created
by becoming heir to large estate; not
that it demoralized him otherwise, but
it left him no time for his natural
work Volumes have been written on
the suppression OF genius by poverty,
but very little has yet been said on the
wreckirg of genius through wealth.

,vooaen Church 500 Years Old.

The oldest wooden building in the
world is the church at Borgund, in Nor
way, which was built in the eleventh
century, and has been preserved from
the effects Of the weather by repeated
coatings of pitch. 1t is built Of pine,
and is of fantastic Romanesque design,
with strangely-carved wooden pima
cles and great deal of carving in high
relief all over the interior of the church.
The old stone altar still stands. but the
church Is no longer used for service.
