A Railroad Through the Sea.

An interesting experiment is about
to be carried out AZ Brighton in the
shape of the construction of marine
railway COR the purpose of connecting
Brighton with the little village OF
nottingham, some three or four miles
to the eastward. The rails will be laid
on the solid rock with concrete, and
at high water will be covered by the
sea, which, however, will not affect
the carriages, the latter being sun
ported on framework that keeps
them high and dry. At this pnrt of
the coast the cliffs are high, aud the
beach is practically inaccessible, SO
that no boating traffic will be inter
fered with. The ears will be moved
by electricity, like those now in use
along the eastern foreshore OF Brigh-
ton. London Daily News.

A MasiOdOn's Tusks.

A prospector who came down on She
steamship City of Topeka Thursday
night from the gold fields of Alaska
brought n number of curious relics
from that far.away region. The most
interesting of the collection is set of
ivory tusks of an enormous size, the
rsma:nG of mastodon. A great tooth
WAS also found with the tusks, which
were discovered in deep canyon sew
eral hundred miles back in the noun
tains from juneau. The size of the
tusks in question is something phe-
nomenal. They form almost semi
circle, the circumference being ten
feet by actual measurement, taperlng
down to point from thickness of
ABOUT six inches, where the tasks pro-
iect from the head. The elements of
ages have apparently had but little ef-
feet on these mastodonic ornaments,
for the surface is almost smooth and
nearly as hard rs rock, and the COM
bined weight of the two tusks exceeds
$50 pounds. The tooth found is of ir-
regular shape, probably fourteen in
ches long, SIX inches through, and
weighs ten or fifteen pounds. Seattle

Curiosities About women's Shoes.

Prior to 1925 all shoes made for
women's wear were without heels,
and after that date all heels of that
class were of the concave pattern up
TO 1857. From the earliest dates in
snoemakinS down to lS40 women's
shoes were all "straits" that is to
say, they were made So as to be worn
on either foot without inconvenience.
The first set of rights and lefts' lasts
were made in Philadelphia and bought
by Daniel Silsbee, manufacturer,
whose works were located in what is
or Was known as "Woodend," Lynn,
Mass. st. Louis Republic.

WEAKNESS OF BIG lRONCtADS.
Valuable Lessons Tstight by the Recent
Disaster in the British Navy!

Valuable Lessons Tshght by the Recent
Disaster in the British Navy!
The following are the principal
points Of the speech ID which Lord
Armstrong, at the meeting OF share
holders of his famous company the
other day, expressed his views con-
Cerning the dangers involved in the
construction Of gigantic ironclads:
The ram of the Camperdown, al
though striking with a restricted
momentum was buried deep into the
side of the Victoria, and 1t cannot
be doubted that while armUr Is in
great measure effective against~pro-
jectlles, and netting against torpe-
does, nothing can withstand the
power Of the ram. But although in
the case of this dreadful accident the
blow of the ram was inflicted With
incomparably less force than that due
to the full speed of the ship, the
damage done to the ramming vessel
was such as to place her in imminent
danger Of following her victim to the
bottom. 1t appears, therefore, that
the strength and stability of the
brow and ram of the Camperdown
are quite insufficient to enable her to
deliver an effective stroke against an
adversary without at the same time
imperiling her own fiOtation. This
is like having great gun that can
not be fred for fear it should burst,
and | apprehend that what applies
10 the ram of the CamperdOwn would
apply equally to the ram Of every
great battle ship in the British SER
vice.
Vessels specially designed for ram
ming need not be large nor costly,
and they would be free from all the
complications of battle ships. Per-
sonal dash, of which there Is no
want in the British navy, would be
the chief quality required in direct
ing their use, and the occasional loss
of such a vessel would be Of small
importance in comparison with that
of a battle ship. l am therefore of
opinion that a considerable number
of inexpensive ram ships should form
an item in any future ship. building
programme.
While on this sdbject / cannot re-
frain from expressing my -apprehen-
sion as to the disastrous effect OF
high explosive shells discharged in
vast bers from quick firing guns
against the unarmored portions OF
our battle ships. The experiments
made some years ago with such shells
against the Resistance, which was an
armored ship of small value given up
for experiment, proved that such
shells would be competent to wreck
the unprotected plating down to, or
possibly below, the water level, and
that even where a streak Of armor was
applied at the water-line the damage
! might be low enough down to cause
the ship to be flooded by the wash OF
| the sea. 1t was proved also that
armor of small thickness insured the
bursting of these shells harmlessly
outside of the ship, which, of course,
raises the question whether, If armor
has to be used at all, it ought not to
be applied in varying thicknesse;
over the whole ship. 49,
