brick, with the third division, under Lieu
tenant Ingersoll, was preparing to storm
the principal fort in the line. The six
FOUNDER came into play there, firing across
the open beach with good execution, and
the outer defenses soon gave way, the i'm
petuous sailors rushing in to come to
closer quarters. The main stronghold was
an elevated table mounting several can
non. Up it's steep sides the sailors rushed,
but were cut down by the Malays before
reaching the top. For want of scaling
ladders the charge was abandoned, and
the whole force of assailants, including
the men in the boats and the victorious
divisions Of Hoff and Edison, who reached
the spot at the critical moment, poured a
CALLING fire of bullets into the work. Still
the Malays fought with savage fury and
held out until nearly exterminated. When
the sailors finally dashed over the walls,
the chief Rajah met them, sword in hand,
standing above heap of the corpses of his
ed to pieces by the cutlasses of tho Ameri-
cans. His scimiter was then seized by a
Malay princess, who welded it with anna
zonian fury right and left until she fell
dead from loss of blood, having been terri
time before.
After this last brilliant stroke Lieuten-
ant Shubrick dismounted and spiked the
Malay cannon and fired the huts of the
town. Stung to wrath by this the garrison
of the hidden fort could on longer restrain
themselves and opened upon the Ameri-
cans in the streets. Instantly body of
marines dashed forward, and although
OF: Hvyf ho al ~
soon carried the work and put the gar
rison to sword.
The action had lasted nearly three
hours, and as the rising surf threatened to
endanger the boats Lieutenant Shubrick
re-embarked his command and returned
to the Potomac, bearing the bodies of two
marines killed and two officers and nine
men wounded. The Malays lost $50 killed,
for the Americans took no prisoners.
The morning after the battle Commo-
dore Downes determined to show the Quail
lab Battooans that the Americans could
boast of big guns as we'll as the Dutch
and Spanish, who had subjugated the pi-
ratical Malays in former times. Bringing
the Potomac to anchor broadside to the
town he opened fire with 80 pound shot
upon fort opposite, on the other side of
the river. The wooden palisades and ram
parts were quickly cut into splinters.
White flags soon appeared at various
points along shore, and the moment the
9 big guns'' ceased their roar boat, bear
ing flag Of truce and several rajahs, put
off to the ship. The chieftains begged
most humbly for cessation of hostilities,
evidently holding greater dread for the
80 pound shells than for the muskets and
cutlasses which, in the hands of the gal
liant tars, had made havoc around their
forts the day before.

The Safrano Rose.

Of the roses grown for cut flowers
in the open air on the Riviera nine
out of ten are safranos, although this
variety is rarely grown under glass.
The capital merit of the safrano is
that it will bloom and develop buds
at a temperature which is too low for
any other tea rose We have seen
old plants Of this rose grown out Of
doors in the latitude of New York
which have passed through several
of our severe winters unharmed.

A Tale of Red Tape.

Among tales of red tape the fol-
lowing should hold high place: M.
Roger Cavailhon, a young French
gentleman rider, who had won his
hundredth steeplechase, was drawn
for the CONSUMPTION and had to serve
for a year. He asked to be placed in
the cavalry, explaining with due
modesty that he was not unknown
as a horseman. The military coun-
Gil of revision refused the request on
the ground that as his period of serv-
ice was only one year he would not
have time to learn to ride. Pail Mall

ELECTRIC RAlLRoADlNo.
Steam Necessity TO the Generation Of
Electric Power.

Electric Power.
It is doubtless the general impress
sion of electricians that great
achievements in electro railroading
are in store for us. The trolley ar
rangement for short distance has
been brought to wonderful advance
ment, yet to connect cities far apart
by trolley or underground conduct
ors, we are afraid, will never give
permanent satisfaction. The railroad
train to be propelled by electricity
must be independent, carry with it
it's own power, like that of train
propelled by steam, and be always in
ready order to run on any standard
track. To effect this it must carry
steam power to act on the generator
and the latter on the motors connect
ed with each car.
The question may be asked, Where
is the benefit of such complicated
arrangement if we cannot dispense
with steam entirely? It is because
we can get more work out of a given
power Of electricity than out of
steam and use steam only as a neces-
sary secondary agent in the process
Of traction. The steam power to be
used should be in minimum degree
to develop in consequence the high
est electrical force that is possible
10 bring this about there must be a
respective improvement in both ma
chimes to secure the necessary speed
This will mainly bring on a high We
locity Of both with the least possible
resistance. Hero it is speed more
than force we need in the manipula-
ton of electricity. It is true in me-
chanics speed is in the ratio of the
force applied, but where there is but
little friction and little resistance
speed, through it's momentum, car
ries for time conservation of force
of it's own. This is much the nature
of the force that discharges electric
ity from the dynamo, and meeting
no resistance in it's flow through con-
ductors becomes cumulative and
renders extraordinary power to the
motors.
The dynamo is not a perfect ma
chine. The main defect in the dyna-
mos now in general use is bulkiness.
They surely are not intended to
pump water, but the most subtle
fluid in nature. Then why this pom
derosity? They require too much
power, and toomuch energy is wasted
in the friction Of the bearings of the
brushes against the commutator, in
the betting and the induced currents
in the core of the armature, etc. In
remedying these defects as far as pos
sible will be secured the kind of ma
chinery that will give the highest
necessary whirl with comparatively
the least force Any theory of too
great speed for electricity seems pre-
posterous. Electrical Review.
