U. s. BATTLESHIP ALABAMA.

air-pumps pant and wheeze; the floor swims with oil and water splattered from the moving parts; and above, the cold water pipes bear frost of congealed lu- bricanta strange anachronism in that heat place. Huge pumps draw guzzlingly the cold sea water from without and send it rush ing through the condensers at the rate of ten thousand gallons a minute, while evaporators transform the sea water into fresh to meet the mild, but unavoidable waste. -..sf.,, .,ifst Confusion, worst confounded so 1t seems, but withal a wondrous instance of mans mastery of mattery and the at tainment of a precision that give, an ap- preciative dignity to the merest fraction of a moment, while driving the craft onward with unfaltering, ponderous mo- mentum.
 Through a water-tight bulkhead clos ing the door behind us, we stand in one of the four great fire rooms, while above us tower the cumbrous boilers and right before us glare the glowing grates of eight furnaces. In the fiickering light of swinging incandescent globes, the half naked firemen and stockers rush back and forth, bringing coal, tending valves, and watching gauges; or stand, perhaps, for few moments as steaming silhou- cites against the binding fury of those angry, opened mouths. With averted heads, panting breasts, and blistered eyes
 they goad the seething beds of flames,
 or throw into fiaring throats the tons of coal that must meet their ceaseless greed. The air, hot, dry, and of a hundred and twenty degrees, and laden with dust and grim, rushes into the flaming pits. inn pelled by the rush of 20,000 cubic. feet of air minute from the buZZing blowers, and ninety feet above, at the tunnels tops, a dense cloud of black smoke and flying cinders tell outwardly of that tor ment far below.
 Such indeed are the wondrous powers placed at the disposal of a single man.; whose coolness, care, and calculating courage must guide them to successful is- sue: and to glory though they lead, the human appreciation of such might is enough to make the bravest falter, for against such, as well as with, he fights. Compared with the British Majestic, D a class most typical of the highest Eng fish attainment, and vessel of 2,000 tons and more greater displacement than our
 own ships, these latest craft are supe-
 rior in every particular save the greater coal capacity and knot and half more speed of the English rival. e ~ L -- Chief Constructor Hichborn deems that
 we have, indeed, good reason to be proud of these vessels, and says they are un-
 matched at home or abroad in gun power, thickness and distribution of armor and shelter for the fighting crews, while in the feature of moderate draft, they are unique.
 He hopes, and so do we all, that they are but the nucleus of a larger fleet to follow, for as he has pointed out before, the true measure of a nations naval strength lies in the number of her effi- cient battleshps; without which She can never be great in either offense or de- fense.

AROUND THE WORLD QUICKLY.

Scheme of a French Inventor For the Paris Worlds Fair of 1900.
 What new monstrosity could be desired for the year 1900, which would make the Eiffel tower and the Ferris wheel seem insignificant? The answer is ready, so the French papers tell us, in the idea of a mechanician, M Borgel-Court, to build a gigantic sphere which shall as exactly as may be counterfeit the earth, accord ing to writer in Scribner's.
 On its surface all the countries of the globe, the cities, mountains, seas, and rivers, are to be represented with faith ful configuration, while the interior is to be devoted to representations of the physical characteristics and civilizations mapped on the surface-natives, trees, animals, minerals, manufactured pro- duets, buildings, etc. In each country the travellers eye will meet with only the objects indigenous to that land. The journey about the structure is to be made by means of elevators and electric rail ways. The round tour of the globe is scheduled to occupy eighty minutes-an irresistible figure to compatriot of Jules Verne. Starting from Paris, the tourists are conveyed by train to Geneva, and thence by tunnels to the different coun- tries of Europe, the east, America, Aus tralia, and Africa, completing their globe trot in petto by a return to Paris which OccupIeS tHe nlSHeSL point or the sphere, and supports a great figure of the French republic.
 This portentous reminder of our "geog- raphy" classes is to be nearly 800 feet in diameter, or roughly, one-eighty-thous- andth as large as the original and more inconvenient earth. The plan is to set the globe on a frame, which will bring the extreme height to nearly 800 feet-an imposing architectural monster it should be.

A PECULIAR FISH.
The Turbot's Ball and Socket Eyes Ar,
 of Black and Gold.

The Turbot's Ball and Socket Eyes Are
 of Black and Gold.
 London Spectator
 Lying limp and slimy on a fishmonger's S slab, or dry and sandy in the Dutch fish wives baskets, the turbot is perhaps the least interesting of fish, When swim ming in an artificial sea or lying on the sandy bottom is Is the most attractive of all the denZens of this mock ocean, and whether at rest or in motion has an air of vigilance, vivaclty and intelligence greater than that of any of the normally shaped fish. This Is in part due to his habits and in part to the expression of the flat fish's eye. This, which is sunk and invisible in the dead fish, is raised on a kind of turret in the living turbot or sole, and set there in a half-revolving apparatus working almost IS independ- ently as the "ball and socket" eyes of the chameleon. There is this difference however, in the eye of the lizard and of the fish-the iris of the chameleon Is mere pin-hole at the top of the eyeball, which is thus absolutely without express sion. The turbots, or butts" eyes are black and gold and intensely bright with none of the fixed, staring, stupid appear ance of ordinary fishes eyes. It lies upon the sand and jerks its eyes independently into position to survey any part of the ground surface, and the water above or that on either side at any angle.
 If 1t had light rays to project from its eyes instead of to receive, the effect would be precisely that made by the sud- den shifting of the jointed apparatus which casts the electric light from a warship at any angle on the sea, sky or horizon. The turbots, though ready, graceful swimmers, moving in wave-like undulations across the water, or dashing off like a flash when so disposed, usually lie perfectly still upon the bottom. They do not, like the dabs and founders, cover themselves with sand, for they mimic the color of the ground with such fidelity that except for the shining eye 1t is almost im- possible to distinguish them. It would appear that voltion plays some part. in this subtle conformity to environment, for the turbot, which is blind, has changed tint too light and not all in harmony with that of the sand.

sufficient money to meet expenses; no
extra session of congress; appointment
of a tariff commission, calmness and
deliberate consideration of the whole

no coinage of silver dollars until we

silver to make it equal in value to the
gold dollar; welcome all conservative
men to the Republican party.

The editorial tone of the paper is one OF

that the failure of the Populists
to support Bryan in the close

election. He goes into a long review
of the circumstances leading to his
nomination at St. Louis and accepts
