A Methodist Dog.

Mr.. D., whom I knew we'll, had
two dogs, Tom and Jack. The latter
was churohgoing dog. He was OF
the long bodied, short legged species,
with a head like an alligator's, and
crossed out of class. When provoked,
he was hard fighter. But on Sun
days he seldom failed to pay his re-
spects to the preacher, starting off
at the tap of the bell as earnestly as
if desiring to repent for the short
oomings of the past week.
Jack had discriminating ear and
astrong preference for the Methodist
church. If lying down when the
church bells began to ring, he would
rise up and listen; if the Baptist bell
rang first, he would lie down and
wait, but when the Methodist call
rang out he trotted off sedately, with
the punctuality of an 'amen corner

Prince Krapotktns

In private life Prince Krapotkin is
the most mild and amiable of men.
To see him at his home in Kent, in
the humblest of laborer' S cottages,
is to see the ideal man of learning
as he often appears in fiction, but is
said to have no existence in real life.
A thoughtful, kindly, bearded face,
a figure bent with the literary
,stoop," thin, nervous hands and a
courtesy such as belongs to the best
classes of Russian society only-that
is Prince Krapotkin, the revolution
airy, the exile, the nihilist. - New

The reason that Senator Butler,

would nominate Bryan and any
Populist he would guarantee that

er that the promise would pro-
ably have been kept had not Sewall
bought his retention on the Bryan

ELECTRICITY IN WAR.

Field Of Wheat Death healing Flee
tricaI Possibilities.

| From the Chicago Record.
ON being asked what part electricity
would probably play in tn" work of
death dealing devices in ease of war
! between America and Il hostile power.
| Edison has replied that ii required but
the im.ietuS of war To develop such Il
, flood uf electrical destructive aupi!an-
ceS as would ;tStOnsh the world. Edison
claims to have invented u muchiu. by
| means Of which II handful OF men can
NOV down large army. Water. which
can he made more deadly than bullets.
is to he hurled II great distance, while
being charged with Il 1000 volt current,
| and the opposing hosts are to he swept
away like char. During the recent
British campaign in the Chitral country
| II wire charged with current was drawn
around the camp every night and
whenever the enemy tried to steal in
for runder or other reasons they
touched the wire ana an alarm was in
stantly sounded at various points. 1t
| is said that Edison has carried this
idea somewhat further. and invented
cables to he drawn arOInd q bcSieged
city, which would deal death tn any
one who tried To cross them. and so
concealed that they could not be dis
covered until too late 10 save the intru-
ders from destruction.
Various other devices for offensive
and defensive purposes have been sug-
gested by the great inventor. Among
them are electric chains. to be fred into
an advancing army with the effect of
destroying whole columns of soldiers:
an aerial internal machine, which can
be taken to the Snot where il il to be
used and timed to explode at Il given
moment after it Is cut loose from the
car Of Il balloon. a few of these ma :
chimes each containing. say. 800 pounds
of dynamite. would annihilate "a whoi.
navy. The system of water torpedOes
| can be improved An endless cable
working around a wheel. may be laid at
the bottom of channel at the entrance
of one of our harbOrs and be kent i'm
motion with the torpedoes attached.
The cable could be run out the distance
If necessary, when Il submarine torpedo.
reelased at the right moment. would
float to the surface and explode. 4
few such cables, laid at different points.
would make a harbor Il mine of death.
Such cables as these could be laid down
at once, II necessary.
Another of EdisOn's war inventions
Is gun for the firing of dynamite 1t
is. in reality. four cannon in one. each
within the other. so that the muzzles
form q series of conccntric CIRCLES.
These are loaded and fired together
The compression Of the outer three can
mons will enable the center one to resist
the expansion of the dynamite charge.
Another subject of his experiments is
a double cannon throwing shell twen-
ty-four miles. Edison Is of the opinion
that the dynamite gun can be quickly
perfected. and can he made more power
full than any gun In existence.
