Slow But Healthy.

The Italian batileship Christoforo
Colombo has curious arrangement for
furnishing her seamen with drinking
water. Experience proved that drii k.
ing large quantities of cold water af.er
violent exercise, especially while cruis-
ing in the tropics, caused many deaths
The water tanks ON the battleship were
designed to prevent such indiscretion.
The water tanks on the vessel are
connected with innumerable little
rubber hoses, and on the end of each
hose is rubber nipple. When any
seaman wants drinking water he must
turn a stop cock and then suck it
through the hose and nipple. 1t is slow
work, but it has been found that it pre-.
serves many valuable lives. Fran

A Novel Protection for Ships.

An inventor proposes to utilize the
compass of ship I" warn the naviga-
tors of the approach of danger. He
has constructed CO mpass which is reg
ulated by chemical which will not be
affected by the magnetic force on board
the ship, but will be keenly sensitive to
minute symptoms from any other mag
netic influence exerted at distance
from the vessel up to possibly two miles.
This compass when affected by the mag
netism oscillates about an eighth of an
inch, so the inventor asserts. When it
rs 80 affected the metal connections on
the rim of the dial plate will close n
circuit, causing bells to ring in the en-
CINE room as well as in the pilot house
and ON the bridge.-N. Y. Tribune.

Perkins.

Perkins.
In q recent article on the late humor-
ist, ELI Perkins" publishes the follow.
ing letter:
Dear Sir: You ask me how came TO
adopt the nom de plume of Bill Nye.
and I can trutbfully reply that did not
do so at all.
My first work was done on q territor.
ial paper in the Rocky Mountains some
twelve years ago, and was not signed.
The style, or rather the lack of it, pro
voked some comment and two or three
personal encounters. Other papers be-
gan to wonder who was responsible, and
various names were assigned by them
rs the proper one, among them Henry
Nye, James Nye, Robert Nye etc, and
a general discussion arose. in which ]
did not take hand. The result was
compromise, by which | was christened
Bill Nye, and the name has chung to
me.
am not especially proud of the name
for it conveys the idea to strangers that
l am a lawless, profane, and dangerous
man. People who judge me by the brief
and bloody name alone, instinctively
shudder and examine their firearms. 1t
suggests daring, debauchery, and de-
iance to the law. Little children are
called in when am known to be at
large, and day of fasting is announced
by the Governor of the State. Strangers
seek to entertain me by showing me the
choice iniquities of their town. Eminent
criminals ask me to attend their execu-
ton and assist them in accepting their
respective dooms. Amateur criminals
ask me to revise their work and to sug-
gest improvements.
All this is the cruel result of an acci-
dent, for am not that kind of man.
Had my work been the same, done over
the signature of Taxpayer" or "Vox
Populi" how different might have been
the result Seeking as am, in my poor,
weak, way, to make folly appear fool
ish, and to make men better by speak
ing disrespectfully of their errors, l do
not deserve to be regarded, even by
strangers, as tough or terror, but
rather as a plain, law abiding American
citizen, who begs leave to subscribe him
self, yours, for the Public Veal,
