Rowing Disposition of Americans.

The habit of moving is still strong in
the American people, or it may be that
it is in the climate, for natives and new
corners possess 1t alike, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. Many of the
changes made, doubtless, are in proc
ess of betterment, but many others ap-
pear to be just for changes sake. Re-
Gently party of Kentucky and West
Virginia farmers passed through Kar-
sas City on their way to settle In Kan
sas. Very likely they passed on their
journey west large party of farmers
from Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois
who started recently to find new homes
in Virginia and Georgia. And in the
same week some families in Russell
county, Kansas, were preparing to join
a colony of ex-Kansans in Wyoming.
Such migrations from one state to an
other are constantly in progress, and
usually they are in the nature of a
simple interchange of inhabitants.

FIFTEEN HOURS UNDER WATER.

Novel Feat.

Crew of q New French Boat win Perform
Novel Feat.
A submarine boat has just been built
at Paris for the Brazilian government,
the hull Of which has been fashioned
in three distinct castings of gun bronze.
The water-diving craft is shaped like q
cigar, true to the Jules Verne predic-
ton IN Twenty Thousand Leagues I'm
der the Sea-" Experiments with these
boats have proved conclusively that
they are habitable by a crew. The
supply Of fresh air on the boat is re-
newed from reservoir tubes of oxygen
and the vitiated air is forced downward
into the sea by pumps, which work au.
tomatically. The crew will consist OF
an officer and two men, who can with
out difficulty remain under water for
fifteen hours.
The boat is fitted with an electric
motor of two-horse power, which will
enable her to make eight knots an
hour. She is also furnished with oars,
similar in shape to ducks foot, by
means of which she can be rowed in
any direction in case of accident to her
machinery. The absolute security of
those on board is insured by a. safety

row and Some White Cucumbers.
Some curious Alblnos have been re-
ported lately in the Nutmeg state, says
small boy had noted for several days
an odd-looking bird, as white as milk,
slzimming about the shady streets in
company with flock of swallows. Now
the lad, who is an expert stone throw
er, wanted that beautiful white bird,
both because it was an oddly and be-
cause 1t was difficult to wing with a
pebble. The other night he skillfully
dropped the scudding bird with mis-
sile. The snowy little fellow proved to
be genuine chimney swallow, perfect
in every way, and the purest Albino
specimen ever taken in the state, per-
haps.
In North Stonington farmer killed
an English sparrow that was entirely
and uniformly white, except that its
bill and slender legs and toes were of a
clear, transparent pink.
Norris E. Hamilton, of Danbury, has
Albino cucumbers. Last spring he
bought some seed from Philadelphia
house and planted it in four hills. The
seed sprouted very quickly and the
vines it produced were unusually thrift
ty, vigorous and healthy looking. Pres
emily they were thiclsly set with tender
cucumb ers, and Mr.. Hamilton was sur
prised to find that each one was as
white as milk. They are good, though,

OIL INSTEAD OF COAL.
Locomotives on the Southern Pacific Road

Locomotives on the Southern Pacific Road
In California to Make the Change.
Before many weeks all the locomo-
tives on the local system of the South
ern Pacific in Oakland, Alameda and
Berkeley, so says the San Francisco
Chronicle, and probably many on the
main line, will be burning petroleum
instead of coal. The Southern Cali
fornia railway has twelve locomotives,
equipped with patented device for
burning petroleum, and is preparing to
equip all its engines in the same man.
ner. By adopting oil the company has
effected saving of twenty per cent. in
the cost of its fuel. The petroleum is
the thick, crude product of the oil wells
near Los Angeles, unlimited quantities
of which can be had at small cost Ar
rangements have been made by the
owners of the oil wells to ship the sur
plus product to San Francisco, and it is
said that the Southern Pacific will be the
principal purchaser. Mr.. Fillmore and
Mr.. Small have figured out that to use
the oil as fuel for locomotives at cost
not to exceed that of coal it would
have to be purchased for not more than
IS cents barrel, delivered in San Fran
cisco or Oakland. AS the oil can be had
for 25 cents barrel in Los Angeles, the
company has no fear but that it can Sc
cure unlimited quantities of the oil, de-
ivered for much less than 20 cents
and effect a large saving by utilizing it
instead of coal, which now costs the
company $3.50 per ton.
Several locomotives are to be
equipped with the necessary spraying
devices, arched fireboxes Of fire brick,
and tanks for the storing of the oil, and
experiments with the new fuel will be
made as soon as the engines are ready.
Petroleum was burned on the steamer
Piedmont several years ago, aud with
considerable success, as far as the mat
ter of expense is concerned. One day,
however, the startling discovery was
made that the rivets in the boilers had
nearly all been burned off, and the
boat was Immediately overhauled and
equipped with fire-boxes designed for
burning coal. This action of the Oil on
the boilers was attributed to the in
tense heat, and the heads of the operat-
ing department think that the defect
which nearly caused a catastrophe on
the steamer Piedmont can be easily
avoided in locomotives if the spraying
of the oil is properly done.

weight of twelve hundred ISilogrammes
fastened under her keel, the unscrew-
ing of which will cause the boat to rise
to the surface of the water like a cork.
She can be made to sink to any depth
or to rise by taking in water ballast
from the sea or expelling the same and
will always remain parallel with the
surface. The usual depth to which she
is regulated to sink is about four me-
tres. She can be steered either by her
screw or her rudder. A vertical tele-
scope enables those on board to take
their bearings.

that most sacred of trusts committed
to him in the person of his child.

.FIre and water" Mixed Up.

The conservative voters OF this city are
| becoming more and more aroused as 10
the proposed charter amendments which
are to be voted upon at the Democratic
| primary election.
They are beginning to inquire and con-
slider what sgood will be accomplished by
this change: what by that?
These are questions that are to be an
| swered by the votes OF Democrats. These
| are inquiries 10 which We shouio give
| the most earnest consideration.
In n recent article from Fire and
Water "a paper devoted to these Two
| branches of municipal government, re-
produced in the Dispatch. the statement
was made that this effort to reorganize
(or disorganize the Richmond FIRE De-
partment was the outgrowth or "a de-
mand for reform" Not so. There Is no
complaint made as to the management OF
the Fire Department.
II is agreed on all hands that 1t has
been admirably managed. Never was
IL better managed than 1t Is now. Ana
vet II is proposed to elect the commits
sioners hereafter by popular vote, instead
of by the vote OF the City Council.
Well NAV the editor of Fire and water
he hardened for misunderstanding the
situation here. or course, IL rs incoinpre-
hensible to him. as 1t is to US, why any
considerable number Of. people should
wish to reyoIutionize n fire department
against which no complaint OF ineih-
cheney or wrongdoing can be made.
Our voters ought to put their feet
down" very squarey and firmly against
changing the charter as 10 the FIRE De
partment Absolutely no reason for In
terfering with either the Fire Department
or the Police Department has been given
by the advocates of those measures. sun
we are threatened with such change
as may mean a complete reorganlza-
tion Of both of these departments.
So far as we have seen, the advocates
OF these charter changes have not stated
whether they propose to change the en-
tire membership of these two boards
next year or mean only to elect members
TO fill vacancies that will then occur.
we predlct that shOuiu N'0
ments be carried many who voted Tor theih
will come out with a demand for the COM
plete reorganization of both boards next
year. And should the boards be thus
reorganized, what then? Why, quite ma
t,,raIIv the new boards will want 10
have a shake up" of the men VINO are
under them.
We warn every Democrat who loves
| this city. and who wishes TO see II pros
per. that he will fail in the performance
of a great and urgent public duty II ne
neglects to go to the primary poliS anu
record his emphatic protest against THIS
| mischievous scheme.

In reading the life Of Benton. by Theo-
dore Roosevelt. We came across the fol-
lowing very remarkable concession OF
superiority to our Confederate soldiery
and their great leaders, which we think
would interest the readers of the Dis
patch:
The decline OF the militant spirit in the
Northeast during the first half OF this
century was much TO be regretted. 10
IL Is due more than to any other cause
the undoubted average individual infe-
r!ority of the northern compared TO the
southern troops-at any rate. at the be-
ginning of the great war OF the rebel
lion.
The world has never seen better soldiers
than those who followed Lee; and their
leader will undoubtedly rank as without
any exception the very greatest OF all
the great captains that the English-speak-
ing peoples have brought forth. and
this, although the last and chief of his
antagonists. may himself claim 10 stand
