use them. The idea is, YOU know, to
iasten them TO a wire OF rope. A strong
current would, In such case, carry them
to the top OF the water, where they could
be seen. II the water was very deco,
they would not be effective, and, then,
there Is always the danger to our own
boats. Some OF the Chinese ships were,
you know, blown up by their own tor
pedoes. They could probably be used
for the defense oil New York, Philadel.
phia, Baltimore and Washington. They
could also be used for places like Port
land, Oregon, but they would not be Of
much value In an open harbor. Besides,
the guns Of these big war vessels carry
six TO twelve miles. They can stand out
at sea and shell the cities. The best
way to fepel them is by coast deienses,
supplemented by our navy"
How about torpedo boatsl"
THAT is a matter that comes under
the navy. Such boats would undoubt.
eddy be Of great value, and they will be
largely used. All the great nations are
adding torpedo boats to their naval
forces. England has large number,
and Is building more. France, Germany
and Russia all have scores Of torpedo
boats. The advantage Of such vessels
IS that they can be built quickly and that
they are comparatively cheap. They
can 20 faster than the man.of.war. We
arc now building at Seattle a torpedo
boat which will make twenty.nine miles
an hour. II will be the fastest torpedo
boat Of the world.
These torpedo boats are very des.
tructive," said Senator Squire. AT a
test Of torpedo boats as against gum
boats and cruisers IN the English naval
maneuycrs not long ago IL was shown
that the torpedo boats did FIVE times as
much damage In proportion TO their cost
as the battle ships and cruisers"
NEw THINGS IN WARP ARR.
"But Senator, would there not be a

our people in the event Of a war with

Speaking Of new inventions" replied
Senator Squire, these arc being made
all the time. The rapid firing gun has
changed warfare to large extent. Some
Of these will send shells weighing 100
pounds at the rate Of six to the minute,
aud there are guns which throw streams
OF projeciiles like water from a hose.
One OF the Maxim guns discharges rifle
bullets at the rate VI 600 minute, and

used during the fight between the Jap.
anese and Chinese. Ships within a
mile OF each other were exposed to a
hail storm OF shot and shell from them.
The enormous power Of the armour OF
the ships was shown in this war. The

they sent projectiles weighing 500

new inventions are being made in all
kinds OF munitions Of war.
EXPLOSIVES WHICH KILL nv sMBLL.
"The next war will determine many
new things as TO high explosives" con-
tinued Senator Squire. There is an ex-
plosive known as melinite, which Is said
to have some OF the properties OF the old
stink pot used by the Chinese.
recently read an account Of the use OF
this explosive. The article stated that
the stuff was three times as powerful 80
gunpowder, but that its Tunes were
even deadly. II cited an instance In
which a meinite shell had exploded on
vessel on which were some sheep aud
goats. All Of the animals not killed by
the shell were ruffocated to death. Then
there is emensite, which Is another high
explosive Of wonderful power, and there
Is material called explosive gelatin,
said to be fifteen times as strong as gum
powder. There are numerous other
means OF defense than these which
have spoken OF which might be adopted
as to our seacoast cities. There is no
telling what new war inventions may be
made in electricity. Mines under the
waters could be exploded by this means
upon the approach Of war vessels, aud
there are other ways. II Is said, In which
electricity could be used. II Is pracii-
cally new science, and It's enormous
force will be largely developed by the
wars OF the future"
THE COST or VAR.
81 suppose the next great war will be
the most costly Of the wars Of history,
Senator" said /.
YES" was the reply. "a number.
OF our battle ships have cost between
three and four millions Of dollars. We
appropriated 100000 for two such
ships last year. II costs an enormous
amount to run these ships In time Of
peace, and a half hours naval action
will eat up a fortune. The cost OF tho
wars OF the past have been enormous.
according to an estimate OF French and
German statlsticians, which | have
lately seen, the wars Of the last thirty
years have cost the world more than
SIS GOO. ooo. 600 In money and the lives
OF 9,Soo, COO men. France paid moro
than three and a half billions for her
war with Prussia, and IL Is estimated
that that war cost the Germans 1000.
ooo. 200 more than the indemnify which
they received. The Crimean war cost
about two billion dollars, aud the war
between Prussia and Austria Of 1856
cost over three hundred million. The
war between Russia and Turkey is esti-
msted TO have cost one hundred and
twenty-five millions OF dollars. | be-
lieve that war between England and
the United States,il II should ever occur.
would result In a greater loss OF money
and life than any Of the wars OF the past
and sincerely hope that such an event
will never take place. believe, how

TOGETHER IN THE GRAVE.
Mary Stuart and Elizabeth Tudor-Not
Loving in Life.


Loving in Life.
Perhaps the queen who has the most
company with her in the grave is Mary
Stuart; for the vault which received her
body when it was removed from Peter
borough cathedral to Westminster
abbey afterward served for the inter
mont of her descendants and was re-
rorted full when last inspected.
OF sovereign groups, Elizabeth Tudor
and her sister Mary rest together with
in very limited space. Though it can
not be truthtully said that they were
loving and pleasant in their lives, yet
dead they are not divided. In another
compartment beneath the abbey floor
ropose Charles IT,, William Ill. and
Mary H., Queen Anne and Prince George
of Denmark-uncle, nieces and neph-
ews-in-law.
Probably the oldest combination l.
one which must have been planned by
James |. before his death, so that peo-
pie who might seek him aftsrward
should not find him too easily. Instead
OF being properly entombed with his
queen, Anne of Denmark, he preferred
TO be slowed away with Henry VII. and
Elizabeth of York, and this arrange
ment must have been carried out pri-
Nately and the record withheld from
the abbey annals.
On the whole, English sovereigns have
been fairly Indifferent to family tomhs
and memorials, neither troubling about
their own nor those of their predc-
cessors or relatives.

If a dish of cold water is kept in a
cake box it will keep the cake fresh
and moist. The water should be re-
newed every "a hours.
In making "a mustard plaster take a
piece of lard and stir the dry mustard
into the lard until it is a thick paste
and will just spread. Spread on a
piece of lawn and apply to the affected
part. This will not blister.
The pretty little two-tined forks in
tended to be used for Strawberries are
now seen decorated with the berry en-
ameled in the natural colors. The
vine twists around and up the handle,
and has both the blossom and the fruit
upon it.
In polishing silver that has been lain
away for a long while and is badly
furnished, it is n good plan to wet
soft cloth in sweet oil and then with
cleaning powder rub the silver until
the dark places have disappeared. Then
rub with the powder and dry chamois
skin before finishing with polishing
brush
Kerosene oil added to the water with
which mirrors, windows, or anything
of glass is to be washed, will give
luster. A pint of water and three table
spoonfuls of oil will wash four largo
windows. First dust the windows care
fully, then rub well with kerosene and
water, wipe with cloth, and polish
with old newspaper.
Have you ever tried a hot pancake
for an aching side or back? Mix -four
and water together until you have a
thick batter, and cool; OH hot griddlc
with very little grease. Place it be-
tween thin muslin and apply to the
aching place. A pancake applied to the
