A Terrible Thing In . Battle.

The house committee on naval affairs
for some days has had under considera-
ton bill providing for the addition to
the navy of novel craft.
The feature of the design is found in
an enormous submarine gun carried at
the bow below the water line. The pro
jectors feel that they have now prac-
ticable means at hand to drive an enor-
nous shell loaded with an explosive
charge Of gunpowder or gun cotton into
the hull of any ironclad afoat and ex-
plode it in the very vitals Of the ship.
According TO the design submitted to
the committee and explained by Cen
eral Berdan, hydraulic buffer projects
from the bow of the vessel. This is so
adjusted that it win stop the boat a dis
lance of eight feet from the enemy's ship
without injury TO the boat. At this
short range the buffer automatically dis
charges the submarine gun directly at
the hull Of the ship, and lodges within
it shell carrying bursting charge Of
$50 pounds of powder. sufficient to blow
down every bulkhead in the ship and
wreck the bottom. Com

A few days ago Governor Buchanan
was called upon to exercise executive
clemency in very peculiar case. The
person concerned was a man held in Jail
at jackson till he should produce $500
fine. He had been there over a year
without showing any signs of liquidating
with the commonwealth, and it is prob
able he would have remained prisoner
for the next fifty years if payment had
been waited for. The county court.
recognizing him as an incubus to the
amount of forty cents a day, passed
resolution asking the governor ''for the
Lords sake" to forgive that little 5000
and let the man get out and earn his own
living. The trial judge and the attorney
general and the members Of the jury all
appeared on the petition sent up in &C
cordance with the resolution, but not a
single friend Of the prisoner was among
the signers. American.

Mushrooms, although of spontaneous
growth, are raised from spawn. The best
spawn is made in England and is the
droppings Of horses, cows and sheep, dried
and pressed into bricks. Artificial growers
take great care TO have the soil changed in
the beds frequently, and they also keep
the heat Of the beds at certain temper
allure. Thermometers are stuck in the soil
at short distances apart and are consulted
every few hours, both night and day. This
carefulness results in producing good
mushrooms, but it is not necessary in the
production Of ordinarily good ones.-New

Made Her Len Handed by a blow.

Three years ago young lady of Fail
River, Mass. was hit upon the left side
Of her head by falling sign as she was
walking along a street in Boston This
was followed by brain fever. After
some weeks she was as well in mind and
body as ever, but from a right handed
person she had become so left handed
that she could neither cut, sew nor write
with her right hand, but found it easy
to do all these things with her left.
Her right hand was just about as useful
as her left had been before she was hurt
What is strange is that, with so recent
change in the use OF her hands, she
never makes an awkward motion and is
as graceful in the use of her left hand as
if she had been born left handed. Dos

Mrs. Sarah Hampton, Of Roswell, Ga,
has a hat made of cows horn that has been
in the Hampton family for over 400 years.
The hat is about five inches long and three
wide at one end and two at the other. The
box is infinitely fastened together with
brass riyets. On the lid is, Wv. c. H.,
1899" cut with knife. In the bottom Of
the box is piece Of paper, but part Of the
writing is so dim it cannot be read under a
glass. One can read three lines. It says
that "this hat has been in the Hampton
family 2S6 years. 1899"
Master Comant Hampton now possesses
the old relic. Although he is only seven
years old he prizes it very highly. The hat
was carried through the Revolutionary
war by one Of the Hamptons, Master Co

A Greedy MountaIn Lions Fate.

DR.. French, a seventy-year-old resi-
dent Of Alamo, killed a mountain lion
one day last week at the Tule ranch in
the pineries. The lion had crawled into
pig pen through a small hole, and after
feasting on two shoats was too big to
get out through the hole. Thus he was
an easy prey to the doctor. who gave
him hypodermic injection of birdshot
in order to see him perform. He per
formed to the entire satisfaction Of his
tormentor. The doctor administered a
44-caliber pill, which put him to sleep.
The animal had immense claws. and
measured six feet from tip to tip.-San

Bluntlers Of Painters.

Tinoret, an Italian painter, in a pic
ture of the "Children of Israel" gather
ing mama, has taken the precaution to
arm them with the modern invention of
guns. Cigoli painted the aged Simeon at
the circumcision of the infant Saviour,
and as aged men in these days wear
spectacles the artist has shown his sagac-
ity by placing them ON Simeon's nose.
In picture by Verrio of "Christ Heal
ing the Sick" the lockers on are repre-
sented as standing with periwigs on their
heads. To match, or rather exceed,
this ludicrous representation, Durer has
painted "The Expulsion of Adam and
Eve From the Garden of Eden" by an
angel in dress fashionably trimmed
with founces. The same painter, in his
scene Of "Peter Denying Christ" repre-
sents Roman soldier very comfortably

Color and Warmth.

The color of materials has some in
fiuence ON the warmth of the clothing.
Black and blue absorb heat freely from
without, but white and light shades of
yellow, ETC., are far less absorbent.
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment. The same material, when
dyed with different colors, will absorb
different amounts of heat. In hot coun-
tries white coverings are universally
worn, and sailors and others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however, to heat given
off from the body the color Of the ma
terials used as clothing makes little if
any difference. Red flannel is popu-
larly supposed to be warm, though it is
no better in this respect than similar
materials of equal substance, but white
or gray in color. Daik clothing is best
for cold weather, because il more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.-
