The Coating of Ironclads.

Nobody is foolish enough to pretend
that we can coat our ironclads external
ly with sealskin or with porpoise hide
and undoubtedly we are at great dis
advantage as compared with nature and
her living forms. Very possibly the
ultimate solution of this question may
be found in the application of some new
material altogether to the external coat
ing of our vessels. Compressed paper,
and compressed rance fiber, which are
now increasingly employed in America
for railway wheels and steam pipes,
would seem promising materials for
the purpose. They admit Of being mold
ed externally into any minute grooves
OF tiny overlapping plates, like the
scales of fish.
Little or no extra expense will there
by be incurred, as an enormous n.y.
draulic pressure, capable of forming
any required surface, is already en-
ployed in the regular course of manu-
facture. Or they can just as easily be
nodded into a rough shagreen, which
in form can be made facsimile pro-
duction of the skin of the shark And
by their tough and strong retentive
structure they would effectually pro-
tect the steel, or real skin Of the vessel,
from corrosion by the salt water But
all this is mere conjecture. Any such
suggestions which any man can pro-
pound will be nothing more than con-
lecture, SO long as we are content to re-
main in our present deplorable dark
ness and ignorance Of the real govern
ing conditio IS of the problem. What we
most require is therefore light Con
temporary Review.

Little Worlds.

The bodies called asteroids are sup

system. They circulate around the sun
at intervals between Jupiter and Mars,
filling gaps, so to speak. That they are
round is a necessary consequence of the
operation of the law of attraction; that
they are worlds like the rest of the plan
cts is reasonable conclusion. They are
discovered by means of photograph
plates affixed to powerful telescopes. At
last accounts there were already 372 of
these baby planets, and they were still
coming. Twenty-one undoubted new
ones were discovered in 1898, and it was
not particularly good year for aster-
oids either. In size they are to the other
planets as Rhode Island is to Texas.
1t is quite within the bounds of proba.
bility that some of these little fellows
may be inhabited. A toy terrier is just
as much of a dog as $50 pound ST. Ber-
nard dog, is he not? and he often makes
considerably more noise. 1t is an inter-
esting speculation as to the inhabitants
of these toy planets. Many of them are
probably not more than 10 or 20 miles in
diameter, 60 miles around 1t would be
the easiest thing possible for an asteroid-
ian to say to his friend: 'Come, let us
hitch up that last new pair of trotters
and take spin around the world today.
Back in time for dinner" How charm
ingly sociable it would all be too! Every
body in the world could find out all about
everybody's business
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-06-22

The plan of Hon. Abram S. Hewitt for
a rapid transit railway in New York city
will commend itself to municipal au-
thorities who want to know how to man
age valuable public franchises. Mr..
Hewitt proposes that New York shall
borrow the entire sum necessary to con-
struct the road, since it can do this cheap
er than any private corporation can on
account of the safeness of the invest
ment. Then after securing the money
the city shall let the contract for con-
struction out to the lowest responsible
bidder. When the road is built, the pri-
vate company constructing it shall have
also the right to operate it for 80 years.
They shall pay for rent to the city sum
based upon the cost of building the road.
AT the end of the 80 years the franchise
returns to the city to be relet. The fea-
lures Mr.. Hewitt believes to be most
commendable in this plan are that no
grasping private company can ever Jug
gle the city out of rent for one of its
most valuable franchises; that the build
ing and operating of the road by a pri-
waite company will take the direct man
agement out of city politics as a corrupt
ing element; that the city will in a not
long time get all its money back from the
rentals, and that it retains the right to
lease the road again for as long or short
a term as seems desirable.
