the wheels, just as tie body Of a wagon
rests upon the axles, will be the super
structure. composed of decks, cabins,
engine rooms, etc. Big engines will re-
Volve the shafts, and these will turn the
wheels All that will be submerged will
be parts of the hollow wheels. The rest
will be from 10 to 20 feet above tbs
water The whole will somewhat re-
semble the ferry boats now in use.
Inventor Bazin also intends to do
away with the ordinary rudder, which
operates as drag when turned oblique-
" to the course of the vessel, thus great
" retarding it. His new steering appa-
ratus will actually serve as propelling
power. 1t is to consist of hollow CYL
Under running down into the water. AT
the bottom of this cylinder is to be a
hole out of which a mighty stream of
water is to be forced. This will not
only push the stern of the craft in the
desired direction, but will shove the
whole forward The unique craft is to
be given a trial ON the channel in a few
months, and if it is success a line of
transoceanic steamers is to be construct
ed on the same principle
Another inventor, working entirely
independent of the Frenchman, has ar
rived at practically the same idea. He
is Peter Beckman of Bucksport, Me.
and he has a craft almost ready to
launch which is without doubt the
Queerest looking boat ever built. 1t is
constructed something on the principle
of road roller The chief feature is a
big wooden cylinder, or barrel, support
ing a superstructure.
The barrel is Is feet long and 10 feet
in diameter 1t is hollow, of course,
and the motor power is to be applied
from inside it. A framework in the
shape of double deck rests on grooves
on top Of the barrel, and from this is
suspended a platform, which runs clear
through the barrel. On this platform
can be placed any kind Of a motor, from
a triple expansion engine to hand
crank. AS Beckman's present craft is
only model one and of small size he
will depend upon the latter and a sys,

eyes and wonderful masses of Jet black
hair in which a single white lock APP
peared- Her speechwas quick and force
full, while her wit was like the flash of
lightning. From one end of the country
to the other she travelled, insisting upon
equal rights for women.
Then came an incident in her career
which brought her even more proml
nently TO the front. In 1884 her father,
j. E. D. Couzins, was appointed by
President Arthur as United States mar
shall for the eastern district of Missouri
He at once appointed his daughter as
his chief deputy. She had been his COM
panion and helper for years, and besides
she was lawyer of recognized ability.
During the last year of Mr.. Couzins'
term he became i'll, and the entire work
of the Office fell upon his daughter She
performed it with great credit to her
self, and when her father died she was
appointed to serve the unexpired term.
1t was her connection, however, with
the lady board of managers of the
Worlds fair which spread her fame the
widest. She was elected as secretary of
that body, but whether it was that the
infiammatory rheumatism from which
Sle QaQ D66n SuHeT1nS anu WHICH HAS
now conquered her completely had
spoiled her temper, or whether she was
untitled to work with conventional So
ciety danes, it is certain that she was
requested to resign before the great ex-
position had fairly commenced. The
committee charged her with extrava-
gance and said that she must be deposed
in the interests OF harmony.
The temper of Fighting" Phoebe
was fairly reused by this. She fatty re-
fused to resign. She dashed her OppO-
nents in most unmerciful manner and
ended by carrying the matter to the
courts, while all the male world looked
smilingly on at what was termed "a
woman's wrangle. " Right or wrong,
Miss Couzins was ousted and went forth
broken in spirits and health.
Up to within a few months she has
lived in comparative ease and quiet,
but her old malady has recently re-
doubled its attacks and now she is con-
fined to an invalid's chair.

ROLLING STEAMERS.
NEW AND UNIQUE IDEAS ADVANCED
IN MARITIME NAVIGATION.

A Frenchman and Yankee Reach the
Same Conclusions Independently, and
They Are Building the Oueerest Craft
Ever seen-A Great Water Cycle.
Will the steamship of the future
pillow through water, urged on by en-
gines of tremendous force, or will it
roll over the waves at marvellous speed,
as the bicycle rolls over the land? This
question has been brought up by two re-
cent inventions which seem TO point to
the latter possibility.
An inventive Frenchman named Ba-
Kin has advanced an entirely new idea
In steamship building and there is now
being constructed at the dOckyards of
st. Denis, France, a strange craft ac-
cUrding TO his plans. 1t is to be nothing
less than monster water cycle. Instead
OF big, pointed hull sunk deep in the
water, there will be six or eight hollow
wheels, which will support vast super
structure and at the same time furnish
the motor power by being equipped with
buckets or fanges. These wheels are to
be connected in pairs by great axles, by
means of which they are TO be revolved
It is calculated that the rotary motion
OF the wheels will cause the whole
structure to roll swiftly and easily over
the water with the least possible resist
nnce..
1t will not be beautiful craft to look
upon, but if it can be navigated sue
cessfully it will present new solution
TO the problem of marine locomotion
and one vainly sought for years. Rest
ing ON the steel shafts which connect

tenn of cogs which line the inside of the
cylinder On the outside of the cylinder
are buckets, like those on the paddle
wheels of a side wheel steamer. When
the cylinder is revolved, Beckman ex-
poets his craft to roll gently and swiftly
over the water.
The question of equilibrium is yet &c
be determined, but in order TO guard
against the possibility of his framework
being carried under water he has sup
ported this by two smaller wooden cyl
inders which will roll along III front
and behind the big barrel. He, too, has
elaborate plans all drawn for an ocean
steamer to be built on this principle and
hopes to see one made.

abandon that Livingston never tied to him again. Prompt ass hornet to re. sent affront. Watson is on his part a man of singular gentleness and care for what others feel. He will never insul. others any moro than he'll brook outrage from them.
 Even when Watson stirred up Cobb of Alabama, in his book. and made that slow statesman famous for his un steady inquiry offered on the fl DOT of the House, "Mr. Speaker, where sm l at2" Cobb and Wheeler and others of Alabama had cast the first stone. Cobb was not at all graceful on the occasion adverted to. It was during the debate on the report to unseat Rockwell of Elmira-Hill's man and put republican, Moves, in his place. This last. by the way, was a SC. cret demand of Cleveland, as a move against Hill at time when both were candidates for the presidency. Cobb was on the Hill side of the case, and becom- ing bit vague, not to say vacuous, in debate, hs suddenly rolled his eyes on the speaker, and after deep pauss put the plaintive question quoted, "Mr. Speaker, where am I at?''
 Watson had it in his book two weeks later, and 1t created good deal of heat in a house strongly democratic. The democrats attempted censure on some other form of house torture, and in the debate which ensued Watson left his

 Watson Is no. a poor man; for his region he IS rich. He has farms which pay, law practice which pays and a paper populistic-- which does not lose much. He held seat only in the Fifty. second Congress. He has been candi. date who failed twice since then.
 Watson is selt.made-eyery splinter of him. Born and reared in Georgia, child as he was at the time, the war wrecked WAtson's early prospects, and all there is to hum today he built himself. Alto. gether he is better American and a better man than either Hooart or Me Kiniey, thinks less of himself and more oi the people, and a syndicate could no more buy Watson or own Watson thau It could buy or own a star. No Han nah's go with the horoscope of such as Watson. Between us, the populist nom. inee for vice. president is the sort oi per. son one would not hesitate to name as executor of his estate. One would feel reasonably sure as one dreamed in bis grave that his widow and orphans were getting their dues. One might go long summers day and meet no better man. Yet one must say of Watson, as Emerson did of Thoreau--it exactly states case in response to an inquiry: While we love lhoreau, we don't like him. ."--A. H LEWIS, in Examiner.

Lake, but there were only about sixty
present and he did not speak. The wealth.
er was so unusually bad that it was not
expected that there would be any crowd
present. However, Colonel Bankhead
likes to keep his engagements and went
out to East Lake. The party workers at
that place were very much disappointed
because of the weather. They had am
pie assurances that had it been a pretty
night 500 people would have turned out
to hear the gallant representative from
the Sixth. who at one time represented
this district and who is deservedly pop
ular in Jefferson county. Another date
will be made for East Lake and those

hearing the speech of the eloquent and

so because of the elements, will be given
another opportunity, which of course

Pure Air as Necessary as Pure Food,

DR.. J. S. Leonhardt of Lincoln, Neb
From the annals of Hygiene
l am satisfied that the consumers of
coal gas whether for lighting, heating or
other purposes, do not appreciate the
danger attending it's use. In support of
this assertion, let the following case,
with few comments, testify:
Mr.. A. b. c., age so years, weight about
123 pounds, light hair, blue eyes, of slight
statue, with full complement of symp-
toms of cerebral and spinal neurasthe-
mia. He had been a sufferer for years
from mental and physical debility, and
about year ago found it necessary to
relinqush his occupation, that of mana
ger of a large wholesale establishment
doing an extensive business. All that
could do for him only kept him about
customary par" with now and then a
brief paroxysm of improvement. His
family history showed no constitutional
or other hereditary disease; his immedi-
ate and remote ancestors were robust and
long-1ived His personal history offered
nothing in explanation of his intracta-
BILE condition. / concluded to carry the
investigation even into his home life.
Upon entering his residence an over
whelming odor of coal gas met me in the
vestibule. He expressed some surprise
at my behavior, said he did not notice it,
etc. An examination of the different
parts in this abode revealed the following
state of affairs: The rooms We're on the
ground 0OOf anu consisted OF nail. Slt-
ting room, two bed chambers, dining
room, kitchen and bath; they contained
eleven 3-foot gas jets, gas parlor heater,
a gas range in the kitchen. The daily
consumption of gas averaged 100 feet.
There was no special arrangement for
ventilation. The cubic contents of the
entire floor equaled nearly 1000 feet,
half of which was represented by the
parlor and sitting room. 1t occurred to
me that I had found the laboratory in
which the conditions were elaborated re-
sponsible for the unhappy condition of
my patient, and so I informed him. In
accordance with my suggestions coal Is
now used in the kitchen the parlor heater
reposes in the woodshed and incandes-
cent lights have taken the place of gas
jets. My patient is on the highway to
recovery, and his progress is so rapid
that it is noticeable day by day. The
other Importance of the subject will not
Justify me IN dismissng 1t at this point.

A Voice From Morgan.

l.,
To the State Herald:
The democratic convention of Morgan
county was held in Hartselle. Ala, on the
10th of March by the distinguished repre-
sentatives of the precincts. 1t was quite
an enjoyable affair and did much honor
to the next governor of Alabama-Capt.
Joseph F. Johnston. Hon. William E.
Skeggs was elected chairman of the con-
vention, and his rulings and decisions
were very just and discreet.
Mr. A. Rountree read the report of
the ballot, which was applauded with en-
thusiasm, the echoes of which seemed to
awaken the recollection of the "bastile."
The people had gathered en- ma sse~ and
cheers went up from the multitude. At
the head Of our county ticket stands the
name of the Hon. Oceola Kyle, who re-
ceived the largest vote cast, carrying
every box in the county for representa-
tive, and he stands today with his people,
a true and loyal democrat, statesman
and a jurist, and we heartily commend
him to the democrats and the rest of oup
nominees for support in the August cleo
ton. The voters of Morgan county send
greeting to the sisterhood of Alabama to
join In a large ballot for Captain john
ston in the coming primaries, to vote for
O democrat and a statesman, a Confed-
crate veteran and soldier. Let not doubt
ing Thomases or dissenting voices lead
them off. Neither expunge from democ-
racy any OF ner vital StlpuldtlOnS nor
give access to party warfare, and success
shall be ours as certain as success eau
be. Let us go to the polls with the
mighty prowess of American freemen,
selling not our souls, like Judas, for sill
yer, nor barter our rights for gold, but
rather let us cast our ballots so our re-
ceipts for the same shall be the parole
which shall bear testimony to our coun-
try and our children of our fidelity and
our faith.
Never before since the days that Cati-
line conspired or Caesar fought until the
present time has democracy been tried !;
demagogy has slashed her in the fire,

GOOD OLD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

Men come and go and change with the
movement, but principles remain the
same in triumph or defeat.
There was a time when the Montgom-
cry Advertiser could have repeated that
sentiment with just pride and it would
have evoked no smile of pity or contempt
anywhere in Alabama.
But how now? Why anybody in the
state who has any of the file or encoun-
tiers any copy of the old Advertiser of the
days when it hewed to the line of the I'M
terrified, unconverted democracy and
compares it with the utterances it has
been giving to Alabama since the dis
pensation of federal offices. one of which
went to the editor of the paper cannot
