is cut off from the berth deck above
by the battle plates, weighing about
1000 pounds each, and handled by
steam gear. The water line is ten feet
above. Every hatchway on this pro.
tective deck, which covers the ships

water tight, which isolate every room
and compartment below from the gun

first considered. From abreast the
upper end of the vertical armor, which
does not cover the ends OF the ship,
this protective deck begins to drop

A Relic of Washington.

There is a movement on the part of
quite large number of the residents
Of Princeton, N. j., to rescue from
oblivion the ancient structure in
which George Washington resided
during the summer and fall of 1885,
when Congress was in session OF,
Princeton. 1t was in the old Berrienl
mansion at Rocky Hill that Washing.
ton lived and from which he wrote
his farewell address to the army. An
organization has been formed by the
leading people of Princeton and other
towns in the State known as the
Washington Headquarters Associa.l
tion. At q recent meeting Board Of
Trustees was elected from the promi-
nent Revolutionary families of the
State. Measures were taken looking
to the purchase of the old mansion
and two acres of land adjoining, and
it is proposed to restore the building
and make of it museum OF Washing
ton relics. At present the building is
in dilapidated condition and is sub
iect to further destruction by the
blasting that is continually going on
in the quarries of the Rock Hill Stone
Quarry Company, located adjacent.
It was resolved to offer the company
$500 for the building and two acres
of ground, and to refuse to accept the
building on any other conditions than
that it remain on its present historic
site. Atlanta Constitution.

Lived Like o Pauper, Died Rich.

Miss Elizabeth B. Cook, of Bridge.
port, little hamlet in Fayette Coun-
ty, Penn, always lived as though she
were pauper. Recently she died
without medical attention or friends
present, and the exact circumstances
of the death are not known. She was
found lying upon the floor some time
after her death. DR.. 81. ]. English
was made administrator, and he got q
firm of attorneys to look around and
see what her few effects amounted to.
The inventory OF the estate shows that
she was the owner of over $22, 600 of
bank stock. She also had over S28, 900
in cash on deposit, and was the holder
of ten shares of stock in the Fittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston Railroad Com
pany. Nearly S2500 in gold coin and
800 in silver coin and bank notes
were found sealed up tight in an old
fruit can in her tome after her death.
The property will go to nephews,
neices, and grandnephews and grand

To Amuse Their Victims.

English dentists might do worse
than adopt the action of their COL
leagues in Vienna. These practition-
ers have formed society whose mem
bers are to be instructed in the art OF
pleasing conversation with which to
beguile their victims during opera
tions. Anecdotes and jokes will make
q running accompaniment to tooth
stopping, one suggesting another in
the most natural manner. E1tractions
without gas will be the occasion for
bad puns, for the pain caused by the
paronomasia will obliterate that
caused by the forceps. This scheme
should commend itself particularly to
Scotch patients, who will thus have
the joke and the surgical operation at
the same time.-London World.

ers OF the Texas. There are, perhaps,
fifty of these men, and thanks to their
exertions, the temperature of these
fire rooms is already 130 degrees.
There are eight men in each of the two
engine rooms nearby-sixteen fierce
looking heroes, each working in a
pair of trousers cut off below the knees,
as if his life depended on it. Many
other lives do. There are two ma
chinists and four or five oilers in at-
tendance on each of these engines.
Without her engines the Texas would
fall a prey to the first unarmored
cruiser that came along, swift to circle
about the helpless lev1athan, ready
now and then to pour in broadside
after brosdside, any one Of which
might disable the 12.inch guns and
pierce the magazines. The engine is
the master machine, and everybody IN
the Texas realizes this. There are
ninety men in the engineers force,
and all but twenty of them are on duty
at the fires, engines and boilers.

When Wilson had taken his departure
an hour or so later, Margaret turned to
Brian with the remark:

I like him so much.

ously, Margaret, he is quite a fine fell

that you should see more Of New York,
and he mentioned several places that !

like to see them, and so you shall. I've
left you very much alone lately, but l
intend to be more attentive hereafter.

from the happy light that stole into her
eyes.

But take q look into the compressor

But take look into the compressor
room, where the air is compressed by
steam for the torpedoes. Like all
these vital elements, this room is down
below the protective deck. The tor

of 1850 pounds to the square inch, and
when desired q pressure OF 1000
pounds can be .obtained. The first

yards at speed of thirty-two knots

of aim. Through the submarine tor
pedo room proper into which the
three prisons open, the submarine
mine room is reached. Here also the
trap doors over the gun cotton and
torpedo head compartments, each
reached by shaft, are to be seen.
Just forward is the fore hold, where
the wet stores, lumber, spare gear and
beef are stored.
Down in the shell room, twenty
feet below the sea level, eight men
would work in time of action. 1t is
six feet wide, &C. feet high, and some
twenty feet long, q steel tunnel, shut
in by the wooden partition of the
various ammunition compartments;
here at least wood may not be dis
placed by steel, owing to the danger OF
conclusion. A great square shaft runs
far ND between steel walls to the re-
doubts, from which the twelve-inch
guns are fred. Down this shaft comes
a car, on which o shell, with its firing
charge of 425 pounds Of powder, must
be loaded. The steel itself would be
no mean burden, with its bursting
charge of twenty-five pounds OF ex-
plosive, for it is thirty-four inches
long, 11.96 inches in diameter, and
weighs $50 pounds.

evidently designed for leg, but which
ends abruptly where the foot should
begin.
The father and mother of the family
are about five years Of age and were
born of perfect parents. Their de-
formity has not been accounted for
any more than have those deformities
that go to make up the many mon
strosities of the animal kingdom.
There have been bred seventeen
puppies, four of which have had three
legs, but the third was in no case per-
feet, though one had foot of FIVE
toes, shaped very much like an ele-:
plants. Only one Of these hos lived.
Of the last delivery of four the two
with three legs died soon after birth.
The two.legged dogs have peculiar
excrecence where the forelegs should
start from the body, but there is only
q bit of cartilage to be felt under the
skin.
This led to report several years
ago that the dogs had been sklllfully
mutilated. But there is abundant
testimony that they were born 30,
while some of the puppies that died
were dissected in the presence of q
committee of eminent surgeons and
physicians. .
The two survivors Of the last litter
are also evidence in themselves that
they were born with their present de-.
formity. :
The dogs are intelligent and have
been trained to many little tricks.
They move erect on their hind legs,
but when desiring to move few
inches they push their bodies along
with their hind legs with little jumps.

ago the Princess Maud went shopping
strictly incog. While she was walk
ing along the street, she was accosted
by a little street arab who was the
happy possessor of pair of large pa
thetic brown eyes and tangled crop
of curly brown hair. BE was busily
engaged in the absorbing task of earn

else's as well) by retailing ''fresh

she was little startled by the lad say
ing in an excited and familiar whisper:
''It's all right, miss, knows yer; but

But what of those twenty? What q

fateful and all important labor is
theirs! Some of them, by the glow
from the glass cased electric Light
boxes, let down to them from above,
are raising slowly out from the maga-
zine bins the deadly treasures of high
explosive, shell and cartridge. Here.
the mines are making ready, there the
torpedoes are preparing, and yonder
in the shell room the vast missiles to
be hurled from the throats of the 12-
inch guns are being hoisted through
the wells to the loading trays far
above. We're the dynamos to stop and
these light boxes to become suddenly
dark, what horror of black muck
would envelop these toilers and para
lie every energy of their frames. 1t

caused the collision in the harbor of

Let's look at the steam steering en-.
gine. There are six wheels by which
the Texas can be directed in her course.
There is one in the chart house on the
flying bridge, just over the coming
tower, for steam steering. There's
another in the coming tower, for use
in action; a third on the after gun
deck; fourth in the steering room,
away down in the after hold. There's
big hand wheel in the steering room
for use if the steering engine breaks !;
wheel on the steering engine itself,
IN the tiller room. Once disarranged
or broken, the steam steering engine
is disconnected and the hand wheels,
any one of them, brought into imme-
diate use.

to reach and rally the toilers under
him, for he knows that every tube that
leads from him to them is guarded by
twelve.inch steel walls.

been given, the eight fire rooms, down
next to the keel, with only a few
inches of steel shutting out the cool,
