AMERlCANIIED BY ACCIDENT.

AS short time as it takes to reju-
venate a sol, I'd shirt did it take to
Americanize All Sim. In one brief
fitting moment he was transformed
from a subject of the howery kingdom
to the everyday appearance of sure
enough" American.
Early Saturday morning All was IN
his laundry prepared TO do Il big days
wash, as most of his customers go to
church on Sunday and needed their
laundry to make that possible. All
had starched the shirts, collars, cuffs
and other articles on Friday night, and
nothing remained for him to do
but wet and iron them out. Going 20
the hydrant he took several inhalations
of water. Returning to the laundry he
used his mouth for q can in dampening
the clothing. He was able to blow a
beautiful spray, and it fell in beautiful
rainbow shades on the ironing board.
not hot, and started for the gasoline
stove to light a fire. He filled the
little cups below the burners with gas
oline and applied a match.
The next moment the air was filled
with the sound of an explosion, large
flames and celestial swear words. He
jumped about on one foot and yelled
like mailman, as the flames burned
his hands and face. Then he rubbed
his hand on the top of his head. The
next moment a wonderful change WAS
wrought in the expression of his face.
Had he lost his entire family in tidal
wave he could not have presented a
more woe-begone appearance. He had
made starting discovery, His cue
was gone.
Grouping about on the floor, ae
found all that was left of his poor little
cue. 1t had been burned off close to
his head and dropped like wriggliug
reptile to the floor. Then did All
break out afresh in his cries and la
mentations, for without his cue he is
not a celestial.
The fire department finally arrived
and extinguished the flames with little
loss.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

to stand the pressure of a depth of
seventy feet. She has a constant
tendency to rise, but is kept below by
the horizontal rudders on her stern.
Should she accidentally sink there
are automatic arrangements, governed
by the outside water pressure that
empty the water tanks and compel the
vessel to rise to the surface. The eff
feet of the fire of this machine Is
more appalling because it can be de-
livered without giving the slightest
sign to the enemy. When approach
ing an enemy the vessel rises to within
three feet of the surface, and a revolv-
ing looking glass is raised above the
water. This reflects down into the
boat through a tube all the surround
ings. When the range of a hostile
fort is obtained the bow of the boat is

A DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON.
Aerial Air Gun to Drop Shells Inside a

Experiments are now being tried
with a view of combining torpedo
boat md aerial machines in hostile
oper ions against ships or forts. A
boat has been designed to dive under
water and fire a torpedo into a battle
ships huh. The proposed aerial gun
will send a shell of explosives through
the air and drop it on the euemy's
deck or into fort. IL the combina-
ton of these two materials should
prove successful, the craft will be the
most wonderful engine of destruction
in modern warfare. The aerial gun
is to be placed in the bow, and will be
operated in this wise: The boat for
instance. is moving along the surface
at a tifteen-knot speed. At the word
of command her petroleum fires are
put out, the electric engines started,
