Prof. Louis Gathman, the scientist. has
perfected torpedo which, he says, will rev.
olutionize modern warfare and do about
everything but climb tree. His torpedo, in
external appearance, greatly resembles
those in use by the nations today, but the
internal arrangements are radically different
Gun cotton or dynamite may be used in the
explosion chamber at the forward end, and
a slight pressure upon pin projecting from
the point of the torpedo makes the discharge
The rear end is filed with a chemical, the
nature Of which Prof Gathman will not
divulge, which will propel the projectile
through the water as a sky-rocket is propelled
through the air. This torpedo has been found
available at a distance of two miles, and
will travel in an absolutely straight line I'M
less diverted by currents while those in use
today are only available up to forty or fifty
fathoms. When the propelling power is ex-
hausted water is admitted, and the torpedo

with two oval turrets Son TOP the lower and

Notes-New Books.

There can be no two opinions among
those who have read Miss Grace King
stories of life in New Orleans as to her
fitness to write the story of the city it
self, though, here and there, there may
be a confirmed novel-reader who will
regret the turning of so much charm of
style and warm human sympathy into
the chilly channels of historical re-
search and record, when they adorn
so admirably the sympathetic
field of fiction. Miss King, however,
skillfully evades assuming the histo-
rians standpoint by personifying New
Orleans as feminine, and then writing
her biograp ply.
New Orleans is not a Puritan, nor
a hardy Western pioneeress, if the
term be permitted. She is, on the
contrary, simply a Partisan, '-ho came
two centuries ago to the ba> ks of the
Mississippi-partly out Of curiosity for
the new world, partly out of ennui for
the old-and who,| Ma fol" as she
would say with a shrug of her Shout
ders, has never cared to return to her
mother country. Our city

Slightly projecting from the pointed end of
the boat is a twenty-two-ton torpedo gun.
At the rear end is the propeller. and on the
top and bottom of the boat directly forward
Of the propeller are two fans to be used in
steering. 1t is intended that the boat shall
be submerged up to the turrets at all times,
but by a movement of a single lever all
external openings are closed and the boat
can sink below the surface. Two fans on
each side similar to the rudders facilitate
this. Prof. Gathman estimates that it will
be possible to go at least two miles under
the surface Of the water before new supply
Of air is necessary. and the telescope ar
rangement can be shot upward for steering
purposes.
Prof. Gathman has also made a discovery
in optics which will enable telescopes of
double the capacity of any now extant to be
constructed for practically nominal sum-
By his process of grinding the lenses he is
able to make the objective Of a dozen or
clearness and perfection Of images as when
an objective made from single piece is
used. He has in his studio telescope of his
own manufacture. about three feet long by
two inches in diameter, which shows clearly
the rings of Saturn and the moons OF
Jupiter, and yet the objective Is formed Of
two irregular pieces of glass, which only oc-
cupy about half Of the circular opening, the
remainder being filed with some Opaque sub
stance. He claims 1t would be child's play
for him to make telescope objective of the
size OF the one used in the Lick telescope,
and that his objective would give better rc-
suits. as he would be able to obtain perfect
glass.

France, her qualities, as in French
good qualities are politely called, and
her defects. But who thinks of her
defects without excavations?
Being a Partisan, her career Of ro-
nance follows as a matter Of course.
There is surely no other city of our
continent whose history shows so much
Of the romantic, the dramatic, even the
sensational. New Orleans was an ideal
at the outset of her history. Bienville
dreamed Of founding the city in his
youth and cherished the purpose for
twenty years before it became reality.
!In telling the story Of the founding,
Miss King keeps the picturesque back
ground of the Paris of the Regency
well in sight, and throughout the book
her adequate appreciation of the re-
lations Of the city to the old world
adds color and atmosphere to her story.
The chapters dealing with the Span

settlement at Barataria under those
most polished of p1ivateers, the La

by the British and the battle of New

Pushed by Unseen Hands" is a little
volume of strong and interesting
stories written in the characteristic
manner Of Mrs. Helen H. Gardener
that is to say with earnestness and
conviction, but with a certain negi-
gence Of the literary graces, as if those
were trifies for which the author with
message could not. afford to stop.
The message, however, is not painfully
in evidence in many of the stories, des-
pite the fact that most are studies of
social and hereditary conditions In
the field Of heredity Mrs. Gardener pre-
sents some ideas which are not new to
science though unfamiliar to fiction,
and does it with a dignity and sincerity
which are in themselves convincing.
