In making instantaneous photographs
of the splash formed by falling liquid,
Prof. Worthington, of the Royal soci-
ETY., has succeeded in giving an exposure
OF less than three one-millionths of a
second! This is effected by an electric
spark which can be so accurately timed
that the operator can select any desired
stage in the progress of splash within
limits of error not exceeding two oAe-
thousandths OF a second. A photo
graphic printing machine exhibited az
a recent "conversazione' of the Royal
society, had a roll of pref AIRED bromide
paper fed in at one end and turned out
finished Photographic prints at tbs
other end at the rate of 2 coo to 5000 per
hour. These Photographic are used for

cambridge straight toward the battle
ships.
stand by" he sings out down the
voice-tubes to the torpedo ccmpart-
ments, and back comes the hearty an
swer: "All ready, sir"
Now he is but short distance from
the nearest ship. He turns two electric
switches and sees the torpedo guns
elevated and trained. Then amid a
shower of shells he presses a fring-key,
and the forward torpedo is launched
and speeds on it's errand of destruction.
No need to watch the effect; the mag
net is as sure as fate.
Meantime, the Bainbridge's course is
changed, so that she may run parallel
to the column of battle ships, and the
empty gun is lowered. \ second later
the after torpedo is on its way for the
next battle ship, and Delafield has done
half his work.
Long ere this the brave little craft has
been the center of a smother of foaming
water, dashed into impotent fury by the
crashing, bursting shells. But her
great speed saves her from humiliation.
She tears along with search-lights flash
ing on her like an aurora and with the
waves dashing wildly over her.
Two more of the enemy's most power
full ships sent to the bottom complete
her errand. The only damage on the
cambridge has happened to Delafeld
himself. A piece of shell has inflicted
an ugly wound in his shoulder, and
though exhausted by the intense strain
and weak from loss of blood, he steers
his victorious vessel into the protection
of the harbor, then falls senseless to the
deck
Not long after, while recovering his
strength, Jack received a very official
looking document covered with formid-
able seals. 1t contained the informa-
ton that he had received the thanks Of
congress and that he had been promot-
ed to the rank of captain for his gallant
ry in sinking four of the enemy's ships,
thereby causing a withdrawal of their
feet and preventing the hombardment
of the city of San Francisco.-San Fran

the neighborhood of $50 feet, but her
narrow beam and sharply sloping sides

The most prominent objects in sight on
her deck were low conning-tower dnt,
two elongated matches, one forward and
one aft. These were for the disappear

arranged to protect the torpedoes until
they were needed, at which time the
guns were elevated by electricity,

whole operation requiring but few

YACHTS ON THE GREAT LAKES.
Each Year Witnesses an Increase in Their
Number.

Number.
The yacbtsmen on Lake Erie are
hardy sailors. They are expert, too,
and alert, as they have need to be, Tor a
cruise on this most treacherous of the
great lakes often makes continuous de
mands on the shippers skill. Their
mistress is a shallow vixen, and, being
shallow, is capricious.
The breeze that from the south bears
upon Lake Erie ever so high at morn
may at night sweep from the north
with whirlwind fury. With all her
tickleness, however. this almost small
est of the great ''unsalted seas" has
charms that lure the cruising yachts
men from one extremity of the lake 10
the other.
-Four great cities contribute to the
yachting fraternity. At the eastern end
of the lake is Buffalo, with protected
harbor, and open sailing for miles to
the west. Nearly at the center Of the
southern shore is Cleveland, with a
protected harbor and an open cruising
ground east and west. At the western
end of the lake, few miles from open
water on the Maumce river, lies Toledo,
| with many enthusiastic Corinthian sail
or men; and to the northwest, beyond
the mouth of the Maumee, where the
Detroit river flows into the lake with
gentle force, Detroit yachtmen sail back
and forth from lake to river and river
to lake the livelOng season. In these
four cities are the more prominent
yacht clubs, and in addition are those
of the smaller towns. Sanduskv boasts
quite a fine organization; Put-in-Bay
has sufficient enthusiasm among the
island residents to support a small club,
and there are one or two clubs of some
prominence on the Canadian side of the
lake.
From time to time desultory attempts
were made to unite the clubs in an as
ISOLATION for the purpose of holding
a general regatta. In 1888 this partially
succeeded. Races were held at Putin
Bay and well attended. But disagree
ments arose, and that was the end of
| interclub yachting for a number of
wears. In 1894 another organization was
| proposed ana ptIIttlFu. Lie CAVITY
ment over the races on the Atlantic
coast for the Americas cup spread t.
the yachtsmen on Lake Erie. Friends
of the sport did all in their power to at
tract yachtsmen to the Put-in-Ray re,
gatta, given by the Interlake Yachting
association, the new organization, and
| the result was the best attended and the
largest regatta ever held in the history
of fresh-water yachting. Over so OF
| the finest yachts of the lake assembled
at Put-in-Bay and cast anchor not a
| half hours sail from the historic spot
where Commodore Perry sank the Brit
ish fleet on September 10, 1913.
The total number of yachts on Lake
| Erie is about 150-rather an insigniti-
cant showing, no doubt, to a seacoast
mind. To the lake yachtsmen, how
ever, it speaks encouragement. for it
means that in five years this fleet has
grown from a mere half dozen boats
| Ten years ago the keel boat was a
theory and a myth, so far as the lake
builders were concerned; now it is the
most popular type.-Harper's Weekly

In the midst of a stormy discussion

in dispute. Waving his hand majestic

"Gentlemen, all l want is common

"Exactly," interrupted another; that

But Sir Edward Clarke's retort in

as being contrary to common sense.
Sir Edward objected:

STREET MUSIC IN LONDON.
1t Is Furnished by Italian Hand Organ
Grinders.

Grinders.
And what fine body they make, these
street musicians, in their number and
variety! The foreigners, of course, pre-
dominate, and for very good reason
they earn far more money here than
they could ever earn at home. Not long
ago an Italian organ grinder and her
monkey were brought before a Lon
don magistrate, the monkey having
scratched boy. why didn't you stay
in Italy?" inquired his worship; there
are too many of you here" The ques-
ton was superfiuous. Il can get moth
ing in my own country but macaroni,'
said Lucia; de people are so poor.
Here | get both macaroni and roast
beef, and dat is de good reason, sare."
And so it is-the reason of foreign i'm
migration in nutshell. The earnings
of these street musicians are indeed
in many cases quite surprising. There
is Observation-Disclosures instance of an
Italian organ grinder living in retire
ment on an estate in his native land
which he had purchased with his say
ings in England.
There is at present living in the south
of London an organ grinder who keeps
fairly large house for his wife and
family and pays a servant to do the
housewerll, all out of his professional
earnings. Almost every Sunday he takes
a run down to some health resort, in
dulges in the finest cigars and lives
luXuriously at one of the best hotels in
the place. One man,who works from ten
in the morning till ~ at night, admits
that he makes on an average about
five pounds week. He reckons to earn
100 pennies during the day, and general
" manages to do it, and another 100 ut
night by what he calls "a quick buzz
round" Very few organ grinders make
less than 30 shillings a week. and a
fair average is ten shillings more

A sailor, an Englishman, this time,
has received the Albert medal for
bravery. He was captain of a steamer
which was wrecked in the Red sea. She
began to sink, but another steamer owe
in sight, and with great difficulty, owing
to the darkness and the heavy sea, the
passengers and crew we're rescued. The
last boat to leave was loaded heavily,
and a call was made for the captain,
who, in such cases, is always the last
to leave his ship. This time the captain
refused to leave unless the boat would
also take an injured and helpless fire
man. The boats officer claimed that
there was no room, and as the wrecked
steamer began to settle, the boat was
ulled away. In few minutes down
went the ship, but to the surprise of
everybody the heroic captain came to
the surface, holding the fireman in his
arms. Fifteen minutes elapsed before
the rescuing boat could reach him. but
eventually the captain and fireman were
picked up.-Golden Days.

L is Curiously Affected by the oce~A

Upon the eastern side of the mert-
can continent, the latitude of centraA
Norway shows us only uninhabltablq
regions of ice and snow, where ex7
plorers have persisted in the vain att
tempt to unravel the mysteries OF the
north. Even the center of England is
as far north as our inhospitable Lab
rador. The marvellous ocean current
called the Gulf Stream is the only
known cause of this wonderful cons
dition. Its waters, charged with the
heat of the tropics, inpinge upon the
northern shores of western Europe
and make them warm and productive
and the homes of mighty and prosper
GUS peoples. A somewhat similar cur
rent in the Pacific ocean makes Alaska
green and beautiful wherever the
snow deigns to allow portions of the
earth to be subjected to its influence
The influence of the currents of warm
water causes some strange things IN
Norway itself Upon the western slope
of the central noun tain range, the cll7
mate is much more mild and the vegeta~
ton more luxuriant than upon the
eastern, but what is more remarka bic
is the fact that in some particulars the
results of differences in latitude seem
to be reversed. The central portions
of the coast are skirted with islands,
while there are but few in the far
north. On this account the Gulf stream,
flowing north of Scotland, strikes di-
rectly against the mainland toward
the North Cape, but is broken and di-
verified by the islands further south.
At the North Cape, and for 100 or more
miles south, we found almost no snow
at an elevation of 1000 feet above the
sea, while 800 or 400 miles further
south the shores were covered with
snow during the first half of July
nearly down to the waters edge, while
the precipitous sides and broad summit
of the North Cape were decked with a
great variety of wild flowers of mar
