River Improvement.

1t is reported, from presumably
reliable sources, that the improve
ment of rivers and harbors possesses
at least one staunch friend in Sena-
tor Matt Quay. Belief was common
at the convention of Congress that
liberal appropriations for this pur-
pose could scarcely be hoped for,
because of the existence of a general
feel of hostility, or at least of indif-
ference, to this vital interest of the
people of the Mississippi Valley.
It is not probable that men of intel
ligence would view a work of such
manifest importance and utility as
the improvement of the Mississippi
river with dlsfavor, but it Is quite
true that enormous sums have
heady been spent for the purpose,
and it still appears that even greater
appropriations will be necessary for
the completion of the work. That
it is an undertaking of such magni-
tude, in short, as to tax the resources
even of government as wealthy and
powerful as ours. This fact may
have given pause to Legislators who
would otherwise have been inclined
to regard the work with the favor to
which its evident merits entitle 1T.
1t is admitted however, in high cir.
Giles that the government is commit
ted to the work, and it is not proba
BILE that it will be neglected, or that
any really broadminded statesmen
would advance theory inimical to
it, even though the stupendous char
acter of the work may cause natu
raj hesitation. Because it cannot
be completed at single stroke is nc
reason why the effort should not be
persisted in; and when accomplished
the work will be an achievement OF
such value to the whole country a:
to amply repay the outlay, however
large. - Greenville Times.

England has forty three seagoing
torpedo boats, to which are added
twenty-six first class topedo boats
and a number of second class ones.
Some of the second class are actually
carried on board of the big ships of
war. We have few of them, but
they are small affairs, weighing only
about eighteen tons each. The bat
tleshlp Maine has two, and the
Texas two. Thus modern fleet
in an emergency is prepared to let
loose a swarm of floating hornets,
to harass the enemy. One of these
little torpedo boats costs only $780,
900 to build, and it is able, if it can
get near enough, to destroy with a
shot en- iron-clad that represents an
expenditure of 81, 900 in cold
cash. Each small vessel of this
kind carries two or three COLLAPSE
BILE boats of canvass, for use in case
of sinking.
The torpedo boat may be regard
ed IS reckless expedient in war
fare. It's business is to rush upon
the enemy and blow him up if posi-
Bile, and to go down itself in the at
tempt if need be. Exposed to gun
Ere for moment, 1t must be sunk
Immediately. Thus it comes about
that only young officers is assigned
to duty on torpedo boats. They are
much more willing TO take their
chances, and a good deal of devil
may-care is a FIRST rate quality in
the commander of a craft of this
description. In truth, it may be said
to be essential. As for the chances
of torpedo boat in conflict
with a catcher, they are practically
mill. Two or three explosive shells
from the rapid-fre guns Of the for
mer are likely to set fire to the tor
pedo boat and burn her up. The
evolution of modern warfare has
developed nothing more strange
than the auxiliary fleet of fragile
boats of wood which have the power
to destroy at blow the mightiest
steelclad battleships.
Germany, with her formidable
fleet of 10 torpedo boats, has only
ten catchers. Though she is very
much stronger than the United
States in respect to see power, she
is feeble on the ocean compared
with England. Washington cor.

Saint Maru's Beacon

CANINE WISDOM. Yesterday af-
ternoon as electric car No. 4 was
swinging around the bend in the
neighborhood Of the old Fair
Grounds, says Nashville Tenn. J
correspondent, the motorman's at
tention was attracted by a small
black-andtan dog that stood just
ahead in the middle of the track,
barking furiously. Turning the
brake, he whistled to the dog, but
the little fellow paid no heed, bark
ing and jumping about as fran
tically as ever.
Finally the man picked up u loose
bit Of wood that some passenger had
dropped on the platform, and toss
ed it at the dog, but it was no 90.
The terrier held his ground, though
the block struck him squarely in the
chest. At last the motorman had
to stop the car and get out to see
what was the matter. The dog
seemed delighted when the man
drew near, and ran on ahead, bark
ing and dancing gleefully, as much
as to say, "Now you are right; come
on" The state of affairs was soon
revealed, as just around the bend
the man came upon a COW that was
evidently causing the dogs wild
excitement.
In grazing upon the track en-
bankment the COW had managed to
get both horns securely fastened
under one of the rails, and was now
held hard and fast, with no power
to extricate herself. As the track
makes so sharp turn at this point
it is more likely that serious damage,
not only to the cow, which was q
valuable Jersey, but to the car as
well, would have ensued, had not
the intelligent little dog taken in
the situation and given warming in
time.
