the shell had dashed out his valor with
his life and his body had been inferred
among the Unknown.
Although Rummage could never be
brought to say that he had known Black
Harry or had witnessed the tragedy, he
had certain knowledge of Harry's per-
sonality. He would explain, for instance,
that Harry was called Black because of his
very dark skin and coal black hair, and
that tattooed on his breast was large
Union flag, done in proper colors and bear
ing beneath it the initials III. A." (Arm-
strong being his surname).
Ali this seems trivial to US, but it meant
great deal to old Rummage; and as it
was part of his warped and crippled life,
and as this is an account of SO much of his
life as it has been possible to learn, it must
be accepted along with the other Door
trumpery Of which his history consists.

could not get look from the grizzled,
ragged old man who kept his eyes SO i'm

every inch soldier on these occasions.

The Wise Owl.

The owl took his hat and gloves one night
His sweetheart for to see.
When his daddy asked him where he went,
''On definite object I'm intent
To wit, to woo,'' said he;
''To wit, to wit, to woo!'
But he scarce had stepped outside the door
When he could not fail to see
That the sky with clouds was all o'ercast,
The rain was falling hard and fast
''Too wet to woo," said he;
"Too wet too wet to wool"

AFRAID 0F THE ALUMINIUM.
Defender style Torpedo
Ronts-CorrosionT Tests.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1Ss5.-Tf the
proposition made by Mr.. Herreshoff to
Secretary Herbert to build torpedo boat
on the Zines of the Defender is meant to
include the use of aluminium in its con-
struction. the Secretary will probably find
a reluctance on the part of his bureau
chiefs to recommend or agree to the use
of that metal. Some months ago two
plates of aluminium. 14x16 inches, and 1s
of an inch thick. were sent to the Nor
folk Navy Yard to be tested as to their
ability to resist the action of salt water.
One of them was pure aluminium weigh
ing two pounds nine ounces. the other
contained six per cent alloy OF copper.
They were, immersed for forty-fiVe days
pure metal was found to be only slightly
affected and the aluminium wire by which
it was suspended was perfectly intact. It
had lost half an ounce in weight. The
alloy plate was found to be corroded
and roughened over It's entire Surface,
the wire by which it was suspended was
half an ounce in weighb by corrosion.
The plates were again immersed, this
time for three months. The report of
this test recently received at the Navy
Department states that the pure plate
was slightly roughened over its entire
surface, and that there were few bar
nacles attached. After being cleaned it
was found not to have changed in weight.
The alloy plate was found covered with
barnacies and corroded to- greater
degree than the plate Of pure aluminium.
A practical test was made of alum
mum in the construction of small boats
by Mr.. Walter Wellmap, who had three
constructed to carry his polar expedition
last year. These boats 1t was said at the
Navy Department today had been brought
back to Washington and an eyan7inatiop
made some time ago showed that the
material mad so deteriorated that it
could be easily crumbled IN ones naro.

For some time past Tony Monaca an
Italian saloonkeeper in the Fourth ward
Hoboken, has been in the habit of at
tending the Recorders court every morn

been arrested was held for trial, he would
step forward, and after holding a pri-
vate interview with his countryman in
his native tongue. would go their bail
Yesterday two italians called at the
Police Headquarters to see the Health
Inspector in regard to disinfecting their
premises. Monaco intercepted them and
took them into the patrolmen's room,
where, after talking to them for few
minutes, he charged them twenty-five
netta to one side and asked him if he
did not want something to, for his
trouble.
