In the New Science Review and other

Several noteworthy articles scientific
subjects by Mrs. Bloomfield Moore. This
lady although an American, has lived
abroad many years, and is much better
known there than here. She is an inter-

osity and consistency in the advocacy of
an idea or a cause which she believes to
be right nearly the whole world to the
contrary notwithstanding
Mrs. Moore is the widow of Phlladel-

and has expended hundreds of thousands
of dollars in supplying him with means
to continue his experiments, to maintain
him in his warfare, and to carry on a
Keely propaganda at home and abroad
Meanwhile she has been a munificent
patron of literature and art. and has be-
come an honored friend of the leading

SOFTENED BY ELECTRICITY.
Cramps Discover n New Method of
Drilling Holes in ArmOr Plate.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Jan. 31.-The con-
struction department at the Cramps ship
yards have been conducting series of ex-
pertinent to overcome the difficulties attend
ing the manipulation OF hardened armor.
Heretofore there has been untold diff
Guilty in drilling the big Harveyized plates,
which are placed on the, ships of war. Tools
used in boring holes would break and there
were fears that they would have to be
abandoned. Experts began tests with cleo
tricity and now it has been discovered that
the vexatious problem is solved. An cleo
trical current is introduced into the armor
at the spot where it is desired to bore
the plate This current is about five hum
dred or six hundred volts. AT the ship
yards this afternoon it was stated that
the experiment has been a success. The
electric current will leave a small circle
which can be drilled and bolts can be fitted
tightly. It was also said that this new
method was less expensive than the other
method, which was SO unsatisfactory. The
experiment will be continued.

Two Trials and Several Hundred DOL
lars, Costs for Seven-Dollar Pig.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, JAM 31.-A legal
case was decided here to-day that has some
funny features. William r. Crowder sued
William Fisher for the possession of one hog
valued at 81. The porker was injudieious
. enough to stray, and Fisher claimed it, as
did Crowder. Crowder brought suit to
plevein, and the case was tried last week
in Squire Ashton S court. The jury failed
to agree, two of them holding that the hog
was. the best witness in the case, as it
walked to pen on Fishers farm, where
it appeared to be at ease. The two jurors
hung the case on that ground, and the case
was called for another trial this week.
There were three attorneys, six jurymen
and a score of witnesses the
first trial, but the second one, which came
to close to-day, was larger one. There
were four lawyers, the number of
jurymen, half a hundred witnesses, and
three days battle, with the sky for limit
on argument. The jury returned verdict
for Crowder in twenty minutes, awarding
him the hog and one cent damages. The
costs in the case run into the hundreds.
