that had been worn by the child the day before she disappeared. This he held in his mouth for a minute, then he dropped it and sniffed the air. He seemed puzzled, and the knowing ones were beginning to remark that they knew the hound would not be of any use. It really seemed as if the animal understood their words, for he suddenly put his nose to the ground and was off like a shot, dragging his keepers after him. On he went, crossing roads, fields and timber stretches until he reached Devils Camp" point about mile below Rutland, where there is a small mill stream. Here the animal suddenly brought up at the edge of the water, gave one long bark and refused to go further.
 Then the men got to work. They pro- cured hooks and poles and the bed of the stream was thoroughly searched All this time Pilot stood by the water

connected with rods running down through the central tube and out through various openings to the valve nnd other portions of the engine.
 One of the greatest dangers to which modern battle ships are exposed arises from the difficulty of providing against the massive turlets becoming loosened from their bearings during a storm. The big battle ship Indiana, of the North Atlantic squadron, narrowly es- eaped disaster from this cause but short time since. In order to protect vessels carrying his invention Lieut.. nashieli has added special braces to the turret, which make if almost impossi- ble for it to tear itself from it's fasten- ings. This he aeeemplishes by inserting a set of plates in the form of the letter "T'' in grooves of heavy steel. These T-holds are placed in the spar deck and Gt the different points of the circular track on which the turret rotates. The plates may be secured in their recepta- eles at an instant's notice by merely touching a lever within reach of the gunner's hand.
 The novel ideas brought out by Lieut. Dashiell's invention are being discussed with much interest by naval experts connected with the various United States war ships. Chief GunnerHanley, of the monitor Terror, now being fitted fer sea at the Brooklyn navy yard, the turrets of which are worked pneumat- ieelly, said a few days ago that Lieut.. Dashiell had taken long step forward in the matter of controlling and mak- ing safe turrets for use on men-of-war. "The lieutenant has departed entirely from oldfashioned ideas in his pat ented improvements" said Mir Hanley, "and if they prove as effective in prac- tiee as they appear feasible in theory the service will be a great gainter by their adoption.''

sinful to amend their ways, the luke warm to arouse themselves to their duty and the waverers not to be lured by the temptations held out to them by the broad road that leads to perdition, but to resolutely strike the narrower path that leads to salvation. They in yariably succeeded in working their hearers into a state of ferrent excite ment, when many acknowledged their error, and, blessing the girls, vowed to lead righteous and sober lives hence forth.
 The novel spectacle seemed to appeal powerfully to the popular sentiment, and in all probability similar bands will now be organized in every state in the union.
 "oh, no," said Bandmaster Coker. when questioned on the subject, mot single member of the band knew how to play when I took them in hand. How could they be expected to? Little girls are not usually taught to perform on brass instruments, you know. But they

IMPROVEMENT IN WAR.
Inventive Naval Officer Has De- signed 8 New Revolving Turreb.
Many Difficulties obviated-Mon Less Ez- posed to Danger and Important Ad- vnntages Secured in Strength
 and Control.
EcopxRIanr. lS!e.l

A revolving gun turret for war yes eels that will not break from its fasten- ings, with facilities for raising and low ering ammunition, and arrangements for giving adequate protection to the gunner. has long been a desideratum. Such device has lately been patented by Lieut.. R. B. Dashiell, of the United States navy.
 In all the ships of the new squadron the gun crew have been more or less exposed, both while pointing the big turret guns and in handling the ammu- milton for them. Lieut.. Dashiell has found method by which the danger to life and limb is greatly lessened. Or dinarily. the ammunition is sent up from the hold through the ammunition hatehway to the gun crews in the in- terior of the turrets.. Lieut.. Dashiell proposes to have the charge passed up through an opening in the turret's bot tom direct from the hold to the guns crew, thus obviating the necessity of any exposure of the men to the fire of the enemy.
 The new turret revolves in the ordi- nary manner, differing from it's prede- cessors chiefly in giving the gun q longer reach downwarGs. The turret itself, on which one or two guns can be placed, revolves on three-fourth track, and by simply turning q lever the gun is elevated or depressed at the will of the operator Far down beneath the gun deck sits the man who controls the movements of all these tons of steel and iron, for Lieut.. Dashiell has departed from all previous methods by placing tine motor at the base of the turret in- stead of at the top.
 The invention supplies greatly-im- proved means for controlling from the turret the operation of the engine which

side, though attempts were made to drag him away For the first time since he had been in the state he re- fused to obey the voice of his keeper. Toward night the body of the missing child was found. Asit was drawn to the shore Pilot sprang forward. took the slimy dress in his mouth, and, raising the child as tenderly as though it had been in it's mothers arms, trotted back to the house, the long line of searchers following.
 When once the animal had placed the body in the home of the unhappy pa rents he walked to his keepers side and was taken back to Rutland.
 But all the people of that region honored the dog, and one of the chief mourners at the funeral was Pilot, who had a coach all to himself, his keeper sitting on the box with the driver

The comment made on Lord Beacons- field upon the occasion of his maiden speech in the house of commons, that he went up like a rocket and came down like d stick, was not more scathing than one recently applied to a rather conceited young lrishman. In certain Irish college the student It his oral examinations has to give his answers from a pulpit, before the board of examiners. Once student, who had DO mean opinion of his at tainments, ascended the pulpit with self-satisfe and hopeful air. The examiner. determined to lower" him a little, piled him with a series of dlff1- cult interrogations. Hardly single correct answer was given, and when his time had expired the student de- scended and returned to his place greatly crest1allen and humilated.

revolyes it, and also automatically ar rests the rotation of the turret in the event of the principal gunner becoming disabled or neglecting to stop the en- zine at the proper time. It also provides means for properly sighting the guns, and these recoil in lines which do not coincide with the line of fire The tur- let rests on a system Of rollers, and is provided with long central tube ex- tending downward through the hull to the magazine. The tube is provided near its lower end with worm ring or wheel. The movement to and fro of piston valve in this tube causes the en- zine to revolve in either direction, while it's adjustment in a central position brings both engine and turret to full stop.
 The value of the invention lies large ly in the communication of motion from the controlling power in the tur- ret to the stationary controlling valve in the huii. It has been found that by means of this device the massive turret and its guns, greatly preponderating in weight on one side of the turret. may be turned rapidly and exactly, notwith- standing the rolling of the vessel and other conditions encountered in action, and it is claimed that by it's use guns may be aimed with speed and pre- cision not to be obtained by any other system now known
 1t is obvious that if the turret is per raitted 10 continue it's revolution with out Interruption there would be danger that the protruding muzzles of the guns might strike the stanchions, the super structure of the vessel or other objects, with serious results. To prevent any accident from this cause through care. lessness on the part of the attendant or in the event of his becoming disabled Lieut.. Dashiell has combined with the engine an ingenious stop device by which the action of the engine and the rotation of the turret are automatically arrested at points determined by the chief gunner before making ready to fire. This is the first instance in which automatic devices governed by the rota. tation of the turret have been success fully combined with turret turning engine.
 All signals to tue gunner from the off. cer in charge of the firing party and sig. nals to the engineer from the gun plat. form of the turret are provided for by simple but ingenious arrangements in the central tube. The engine differs from those now used for the same pur- pose in that 1t is stationary. and is placed near the guns. and, of course. revolving with the turret itself. It is controlled by series of levers. all ot which are within easy reach Of the man who points the gun. These levers are
