CORNSTALKS FOR ARMOR.

From the tiRe when the increasing
power of guns required the armor of
ships to be made so thick that it could
be placed only over the vitals of yes
sci, naval architects have sought some
means to protect the unarmored por-
tions of ship near the water line. 1t
is the universal practice, says the New
York Sun, to divide the ship at this
poiut into small water tight cells or
compartments, the idea being that a
single shot would not admit water to
more than one or two of these oells.
In view of the great rapidity with
which the modern rapid fire guns can
deliver shells 1T has been felt for some
time that, in addition to water tight
sub divisions, means of preventing any
inflow OF water should be used. Tie
most favored method of accomplishing
this result has been to fit a Golfer dam.
or double skin, for some distance
above and below the water line, the
space between being about three feet
thick and filled with material which
would expand and keep out water
after shot had passed through. The
| material that was adopted IN the
United States navy for this purpose in
1892, called cellulose, is obtained from
the huskS of COcOanuts, being a brown
pOWdery substance, very light, and ad-
hitting of good deal OF compression.
1t was first used by France, and has
been more OIL less used by various
other foreign nations.
| A Philadelphia inventor hes recently
brought to the attention of the navy
department a new cellulose, composed
of the pith of cOrnstalks, which is gran
ulated by machinery. Secretary Her
bert has determined to thoroughly
investigate the merits of the new snb.
stance, and board of experts, consist
ing of Naval Constructors Taylor, Lin.
nard and Dashiell, was appointed a
few weeks ago to conduct experiments
This board has had duplicate Golfer
dams constructed, measuring six feet
square and three feet thick, one packed
with cocoa fibre and the other with
cornstalk cellulose, which will be fired
at by six inch rifle at Indian Head
proving grounds soon, after which the
powerful fire pumps of the Trinton will
create dydrostatic pressure in each tank
to test test the actual and relative
efficacy of the materials with which
they are packed. This test will be COM
petitive and the best product will here
after be used exclusively in the navy.
The English battle ship Inflexible is
protected by Golfer dams filled with a
mixture of cork and oakum, which ag-
gregates in weight 143 tons. With the
French cocoa cellulose this weight
would be reduced to forty-three tons,
while the American corn product would
not weigh over twenty-five tons and
furnish more reliable protection.

1T BLEW OUT THE GAS.

Lie Dig DlOoSo gao "Oh, oL eiO
Spencer farm, Tyler county, West
Virginia, which was struck by light
ming recently, extinguished itself the
same evening, after consuming the
derrick and all combustible matter
within reach. The pressure was so
great that the well simply blew itself
out after furnishing the natives OF
that country with one of the grandest
sights ever witnessed.
No one could go nearer than forty
fleet of the hole, and the swaying to
and fro of the great, mysterious, invisi-
IDLY supported tiambeau, hundreds OF
feet high, to which was added deaf
ening roar, made spectacle awe-in-
spring and amp terrible.
Nothing had ever before been struck
that approached the big Moses in
magnitude. The pent-up pressere,
when furnished an avenue of escape
through an 81 inch hole, for three
months defied every effort to bring it
under control. The earth trembled
within 1000 feet of the well and the
roaring monster could be heard dis
.tinctly for distance of twelve miles.
No accurate guage of the Jumbo OF
all gas we'll Jumbos has ever been ia
ken. At one time partial test was
made with an ordinary steam guage,
and it showed pressure of tOrty-four
pounds from an 1871 inch opening. At
another time from three inch open
ing, it showed a pressure of 600 pounds
the first fifteen seconds. Then at
temps at a complete test had to be
abandoned. When flowing through
the casing its daily capacity was estl-
mated by experts to be from SOOOO,OOO
to 12O,OOO,OOO cubic feet. The we'll was
struck in November Of last year, and
during six months of the time since
then the valuable fluid went to waste.
Taking the lowest estimate, 6O,OOOOOC
feet day, and compute its value at
% cents per thousand cubic feet, as
charged by the city gas companies, fol
a period of six months, and the result
shows that the selling value of this
wasted gas in Pittsburg would be 49,,
$4,000.
The Carnegie Gas Company's expert
visited the we'll, and estimated its ca
pacity to be great enough to supply
fuel for the entire Homestead plant il
it was accessible. Another expert ex
pressed the opinion that its output
would be sufficient to meet the re
quirements of the entire city of Pitts
burg for domestic purposes.
The owners expended $1,000 in shut
ting the well in, and three months after
it broke through and forced its way ur
through the surface. A powerful
pump was then set up near the wei
and for five days they pumped water
into the monster with the hope That
the gas pressure could be crowded
back, and give them chance to put in
packer, but their efforts proved flu
tile, for the waters were again forced
to the surface from assures that il
made and the result was a dozen OF
geysers spurted up into the air. Some

of them even made their appearance
half mile from the well. An idea of
the hoise that it makes may be had
when it is stated that two persons,
standing side by side, find it impossible
to converse Understandings within a
half mile of the well. The owners
will not abandon all hope of shutting
it in. They expect to begin work Oh it
again this week.

over two points-that of the disposition

u this latter, the anxiety seems to re-

Spanish Cruiser Barcaslegui
the Victim of a Cuban
Torpedo.
Wrecked in Havana Harbor
by a Little Party of
Rebels.
Story of the Alleged Collision
Sent Out by the Of
ficialS.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-An entirely
different explanation of the sinking of
the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui and the
loss of 46 lives in the harbor of Havana
on last Wednesday night is made in let
ters received in this city by distin-
guished member OF the Cuban revolu-
tionary party. According to the news
telegraphed from Havana the day after,
the catastrophe was due to a collision
between the cruiser and the merchant
steamer Mortera. 1t is now stated as
an absolute fact that the Barcastegui
was sunk by a floating torpedo launched
by an adventurerous party of Cubans
The Cuban leader who received the let
ter, said:
1.-The Spanish government knows full
well what sunk their best cruiser in
Cuban waters and sent to their deaths
Admiral Delgado Perejo, in command
of the Spanish navy in Cuban waters,
seven officers and thirty-four men. We
know here that before the dispatch re-
lating to the accident was sent it was
carefully edited by the press censor.
An ingenious Device.
"The advices which I have received
said that.on Monday night a party of
Cubans under the command of Captain
Carlos Enrique left Guantanamo in a
steam launch, which was the recent in
vention of an American. 1t was an in
genious device, so constructed that it
could be launched some distance away
from the object aimed to be destroyed,
and then, by piece of clockwork, ex-
plode in about ID minutes after it is
sent out. The little party on the steam
launch had received these torpedo
launches only week before.
Captain Enrique selected a point
about 200 yards from the war vessel from
which to launch the torpedo. 1t was
slipped out and as soon as it was gone
Captain Enrique gave orders to steam
away
As Rapidly as Possible.
The work of the torpedo was even more
speedy than anticipated. Not five min
utes elapsed before it exploded with a
loud report that was heard several
miles away. From what those on the
boat say it must have gone off about 80
feet away from the cruiser and struck
her in the starboard side. 1t is true that
the merchant steamer Mortera was near
the war vessel at the time, and that she
also suffered damage, but it was not
serious by any means, and if the men o
board of her had kept their heads they
might have saved some of the lives of
those ON board of the Spanish cruiser.

Wheat.
DULUTH, Sept. 23.-Since the new
crop of wheat began to arrive here bust
ness has been steadily improving in this
city, and all of the grain men look for
the best falls business that has been
done for many year. The conditions
are such that the price of wheat, in the
opinion of some Of the most conserva-
tive traders ON the board of trade, while
it may remain at it's present low
stage for a time, will advance to a
considerable extent in the next few
months, sand the talk now is that
the farmers who have large
amounts of the grain on hand will do
well to hold it, the belief being that be-
fore many weeks have gone by they will
be enabled to get from 10 to 90 per cent
more for it than at the present time.
