The Construction Bureau of the Navy has
prepared plans for the transformation of the
dynamite cruiser Yesuyius into a torpedo
cruiser and the result of the change will be to
able little craft. BY the removal of the cum
brous dynamite guns the constructors will be
able TO use the 100 tons of available displace-
ment for the accommodation of a superstruc-
ture running half the length of the vessel for
ward. This will afford comfortable quarters
for the crew and will make the vessel a much
better sea boat in rough water. Five torpedo
tubes will be put in, two on the bow, one
astern. and two arnidghins-

Austria set through the ancestral gateway Of
the Birsteins
This Isenburg- -Birstein seems to be pretty
good sort of fellow with large estates on his
rent roll and not few pfennig in his bank
account. The casual American reader should
not jump TO the hasty conclusion that Birstein
is plebeian synonym for two beers, for the
cousin of the Prince is a sister of the Emperor
OF Austria Ali in all, then, Miss Pullman
seems TO have inherited something of the
sharp bargain spirit of her immortal father,
although it is TO be sincerely hoped that she
will wait at least a decent period after the
nuptials before raising the rents on her hus-
bands estates or evicting tenants for nom
payment.
Ii is frankly admitted that the first shock of
the announcement Of the engagement carried
with it suspicion that some sapling Euro
pean prince was trying to make father-in-law
connections that would lead to sudden rise
TO opulence through an appointment as Pull
man car porter. But it seems that key

French Anecdote.

N. de Ia Reynie, travelling one day
lncoguito, met man Of enormous
obesity at the inn where they change
the horses on the road to Paris He
was a farmer, and he had with him
two letters Of recommendation from
the Governor Of his proyince-one to
the Kings physician and the other to
a celebrated lawyer. When they ar
rived IN Paris, La Reynie took the
man to his hotel, and assured him
that he was in position to hep him
in his quest. He at once led him to
a dungeon where there we're jug Of
water and piece Of bread suspended
by a string from the ceiling. Rage,
screams, and cries Of the despairing
prisoner were in vain. In the nat
ure of things, the man was presently
compelled to attempt to get the only
food he had, and after numerous
jumps and as many tumbles, he sue
ceeded at length in gaining posses
sion Of the bread. After two months
of this diet and these gymnastics,
La Reynie gave him his liberty. But
his protege, beside himself with rage,
threatened to lodge a complaint with
the prefect Of police. Nothing could
be more simple" said La Reynie to
him; "you are at this very moment
before him. But let us think a mo-
ment. You came to Paris to cure
your obesity. You now stand before
me as thin and slender as young
man. What have you, therefore, to
gain? Besides that, here are docu-
ments to show that you have won
the lawsuit you came about and
which you told me on the journey
you were SO anxious to win" Amazed
and Stupefed, and with his breath
taken away, the poor man was only
Rble to stammer: "Oh. monseigneur."

The Elephant Remembered Him.

An elephant with good memory
tame near killing small boy at the
Pittsburs Zoo the other day. Some
months ago the boy, with several COM
panions, was engaSed in feeding the
elephant buns from the end of stick
in which he had fastened a small nail.
Watching his opportunity the little ras-
cal jabbed the nail into the elephants
trunk and ran away. Monday last the
same boy came to the Zoo with some
others, and rs soon rs the elephant
caught sight of him it trumpcted and
made g rush for him. The keeper ran
rip and drove the beast back: and none
too soon. for it was just in the act OF
wrapping its trunk about the lad, 'nd
in another moment it would have hecn
all up with him. On being questioned
the boy at first denied ever having done
any harm to the elephant, but finally
confessed the facts. The keeper told
him that he had better stay awHY from
the Zoo and take good care to keep out
of that elephants way Ill his life, as
the animal would nevsc forget him.

two distinct groups, all the docks OF
each division being connected by pas
sages or entrances. Vessels have access
to the docks through entrances that gen.
orally consist of double pair Of gates,
which are open two hours before high
! water, and are closed on tbs turn OF
the tide. These double gates give the
shipping in the docks almost absolute
security, and the value of having two
! sets of gates has been demonstrated on
more than one occasion by the serious
damage done to one set of gates by their
being run into. They also have the ad-
vantage OF locks for the "fats,' which
serve the shipping with coal, and carry
goods for trsnsshipment, etc.
In some cases the entrances are ap.
preached through tidal basin which
% sh3fy or exit: The 1aTsest sS es@aatS: ss he:
of recent build are sixty-fve feet wide:
There are, however, at both Liverpool
and Birkenhead entrances and locks 100
feet in width, provided originally for
paddle-wheel steamers. The lock lead
ing to the Canada dock is 4S9 feet. As
many as twenty-three large steamships,
having an aggregate burden of 34,200
tons, have been let in or out of the docks
through the Canada basin in a single
tide, during two and quarter hours
before high water.
The Mersey Dock Board spares neither
pains nor expense in keeping the en-
tire estate in thorough order and in
making such improvements as the con-
ditions OF trade warrant. During the
year 1892 nearly 81, ,00o, 900 was voted
simply for alterations to some of the
new North End docks and waterways,
in order that they may be able to meet
the requirements OF the Western Ocean
traffic When the improvements are
completed. the docks will accommodate
vessels 100 feet i'll length and eighty
fee; l.,nn, and will also permit them
to enter or leave on any tide. New
