TIE TALE OF THE DOLPHIN.

From current reports it appears that the AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy, Mr.. McAdoo, IS
going on a tour Of navy-yard inspection aboard
the dspatch-boat Dolphin. Doubtless he Will
have a safe and pleasant trip The Dolphin IS
universally esteemed to be particularly sfancn
and seaworthy craft. and under the Jeffer-
sonian simplicity Of the Cleveland Administra-
ton II has been inwardly transformed from
simple dispatch boat into n luxurious Official
Yacht In which the most sybaritic tastes may
be INDUCED to satiatOn. To no vessel could
the pleasure and safety Of valued member OF
the Government more properly be intrusted
There are a few bits Of history connected
with the Dolphin. however, which 1t Is worth
while to keep In mind. They concern the pre-
ceding rather than the present Democratic Ad-
ministratIon Of the Navy Department, but 1t
will not hurt the latter to be reminded OF them.
When the Republican party undertook the
work of creating a new navy, In place OF the
one Democratic misgovernment had destroyed,
the Dolphin was the first ship built. 1t was
built for the Government by one Of the fore
most of American shipwrights. Scarcely was
II finished however. when a Democratic Ad-
miuistration-Mr Cleveland's first-came into
Office. Immediately ii was selected by that
Administration as special object Of attack.
and as a special object through which to at
tack its builder In q malicious conspiracy TO
ruin him, to destroy bis business and TO break
down the American shipbuilding industry. of
which he had long been one Of the most con
spicuOus supporters.
We need not rehearse here the full story OF
that disgraceful episode. How the PanElec
trio, poker-playing AttOrney-General Of the
| United States was led to give an opinion which
to this day holds the record for malicious stu
pidlty, how Official reports were withheld from
publication to serve partisan ends, how wild
tales Of structural weakness" were made out
Of whole cloth and how n party press was In
| spired to breathe forth nothing but abuse and
calumny against the ship and Its builder are
| all matters Of record.
The conspiracy succeeded to certain extent
1t not only ruined In business but actually
killed the builder Of the Dolphin. The work OF
! building the new navy was not retarded Tho
American principle Of having American ships
bullt by American shipwrights In American
shipyards remained unmOvcd And the Dolphin
itself. though burdened with such a cargo OF
eratutous calumnes as never ship bore before
olso survived, and has been amply vindicntet
nj the hands OF It's own detractOrs. AS for thu
effect upon those who conceived and executed
the conspiracy, that may be safely left to time
There are even now not many men VINO wouIt

The Speed of Insects,

Ii is the popular belief that the flight OF
birds is much swifter than that Of insects
but !. number OF naturalists who have been
making study Of the matter think that
sucll IS not the case.
common house fly, for example, is not
very rapid in lis flight, but its wings
mako 500 beats second, and send il
through the air 25 feet, under ordinary
circumstances, in that space of time When
the insect is alarmed, however, it has been
found that it can increase its rate Of speed
to over 100 feet per second. II it could
continue such rapid fight for mile in a
straight line, it would cover that distance
in exactly 33 seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing, when
travelling by rail in the summer time, to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train. and trying to get in at one Of the
windows.
A swallow is considered one of the swift
est of lying birds, and it was thought un-
til recently that no insect could escape it.
A naturalist tells Of an exciting chase he
saw between u swallow and dragon fly,
which Is among the swiftest of insects.
The insect flew with incredible speed and
wheeled and lodged with such ease that
the swallow, despite its utmost efforts,
completely failed to ..overtake and capture
it.-Philadelphia Record.
