In the Brooklyn Navy Yard lies the hulk
of what is known as the Intelligent Whale,
1t has lam there so many years among the
Dautcal Junk which the department from
time to time has acquired that not person
IN the yard can tell today tie name OF the
inventor. Yet the United States paid him
quite sum on account for the purchase Of
its whalcship, and expected 10 acquire a
vessel which would be a terror to the War
ships of all ether nations.
The Intelligent " haie was constructed to
held crew OF thirteen persons. Its motive
power was i propeller turned by crank
manipulated by four men. Its idea was to
sink under warships, and, being directed
against their hulls, the crew would faSten a
torpedo thereon, tie whale would back off
and, whish, bang-good-by TO Mr.. warstip.
one day Il test of the wonderful in vention
was made in the Hackensack and the men
who manned the queer craft were drowned.
This settled the enthusiasm over the In

A SHOCKING LAW.

The German Reichstag has passed bill
which will shock the feelings OF right
minded people in everyciviiized community.
1t permits a divorce to either husband or
wife IL the other is pronounced to be incur
ably insane In this country divorce on
account OF insanity Is permissible only
when il can be shown that the taintexisted
at the time OF the wedding and was con-
cealed from the other party. Attempts
have been made in some of the States TO
enact law similar to that which now dis
graces the German statute books, but for
;unately have failed. The very thought
that a man OF q woman, especially the
latter, who had become Il mental wreck
through no fault of his or her OWE could be
thrown off in this manner and made TO de-
pend upon the tender mcrcies of strangers is
utterly abhorrent. The civil marriage, Of
course, contenp!ates simply contract
which remains in force and binding upon
both parties to it only so long as its terms
and conditions are not violated by either, or
both parties continue capable of living up to
its stipuations, and in that view OF thecase
an insane husband Or wife would deprive the
other of that atcompanionshIp to which, under
the terms OF the contract, he or she is en-
titled.

Travelling Libraries.

One of the best schemes for increasing
the hunger for kno wiedge yet set in motion
is that OF travelling libraries Well Sc
iectcd books in boxes are sent out into the
Isolated rural districts. The Communities
pay small fees and everybody ) is entitled to
use the books and periodicals.. When the
box has been read up so to speak. it is
exchanged for another In this way com
munities get the freshest and best adapted
to their needs. Great strides are beina
made in this way in stimulating j hunger for
information, which finally materiaiizes into
a local public iibrary.-Chicago go Chronicle
