the Perkins Semi Submarine Torpedo
Fort, and the torpedo it uses is one of
the most destructive in point of the
elements which enter into it's construc-
ton of any which modern invention has
produced.
The idea of the invention if it can
be so termed is to construct at some
appropriate spot on the sea coast a
semi-submarine fort. This fort would
partially underly a section of the coast
at the depth of say forty feet, though
no limit in this regard has been fixed.
Rising from the apparatus used to dis
charge the torpedo to a short distance
above the earth's surface is a funnel
shaped tube of camera obscura, by
means of which the man who is fixing
the course which the instrument of
death he is about to launch shall take,
will have an uninterrupted view of the
sea for long distance from land. With
this sight before him, it is not hard to
understand that his calculations may
be made as perfect as it is possible for
the human mind to contrive
Of course, no vessel will know where
totally unsuspicious of danger until the
explosion takes place. There is no way
which will enable vessels to locate the
hidden danger, and their only safe
course will lie in keeping away alto
gether from a coast infested with such
fearful and hidden defenses. It is
about as effective for a warship to fire
at an object beneath the surface of
the water as it is to lombard the moon.
Electricity is the power which will
move the torpedo. 1t is the power that
after it starts upon it's Journey The
accompanying illustration, the first
which has been published of the new
invention, gives better than words pos
sibly can, a graphic idea of the method
of operation. The men who operate
the torpedo apparatus perform their
duties clad in the armor of divers. The
officer in charge is, as the picture
shows, in a turret-like room, which
is a portion of the camera obScura, for
the lens at the top Of the funnel-Shap-
ed pipe that runs to the surface throws
down upon the glass in front of the
officer a picture of the sea and craft
above and beyond.

also necessary to know the camera oh
scura principle, with which any one
who has operated Kodak or camera
for amateurs is familiar although, per
haps, not by that name. The principle
is best illustrated by the following hy-
pothetical experiment: Let small
hole be bored in window shutter and
the room darkened. If, now the beam
of light entering the room by this hole
be intercepted by sheet Of white pa
per, held at a small distance from the
hole, an inverted image of objects
without will be seen upon the paper.
BY placing a small convex lens upon
this hole this image is rendered much

the picture hat fad is due. The lady
is Miss Alice Hughes, a young Ameri
can who went to London. England, a
year or two ago, with the idea that she
would there find a better field for
new idea she had than the United
States offered. That idea was to pay
especial attention to posing, to make
every sitter appear in the photograph
as if she was taken from a painting.
smiled on Miss Hughes at once. The
development of the idea naturally
created new methods and the picture
hat is one of the most charming of
them all. 1t took, it will be seen, an
American girl to teach the artistic
Old World what the most artistic Of
one of the greatest of arts really was.
Sometimes the person who sits for
photograph will take a notion that in
stead of a painting they would like to
appear as if the central object of an
engraving. Modern Photographic meth
DDS make this easy Of accomplishment,
and as we look at one of these pictures
ii seems as if the friend whom it rep
resents had suddenly been exalted to
that ambitious height reserved for
those who have won the attention Of
fame.
And now, if the young woman,
whether of the Four Hundred or the
Sixty Million, wishes to appear to be
in touch with all that is fashionable,
she should have herself photographed
in big hat, evening gown, and so pos
ed that it will appear as if she might
have just stepped out Of one of those
most charming of paintings, which we
know as Gainsboroughs and the flower
of the artistic genius of Sir Joshua
Reynolds.
One of the funniest things possible is
to take some old album and see how
people used to dress when photography
first came into vogue. You will come
across in any old book photographs Of
dowagers in rustling silks and huge
crinolines, apparently pacing the sands
of the seashore. Unluckily, it never
used to occur to the Photographic artist
Of that day to blend in the slightest
degree the toilettes Of his sitters with
the scenery he put at the back of them.
Hence some very amusing contradic-
lions were sent down to posterity. The
meekest of men and most unlikely Of
women, were discovered leaning
against enormous marble pillars, or On
the point of ascending noble marble

one persons took the disease and thir-
ty-one died.
From the time these craft left New
Orleans until they tied up at iPtts,
burg, twenty-three persons died
aboard of them. The ghostly plague
ship or Vanderdecken and his Flying
Dutchman were never more dreaded
than these three spreaders OF the yell
low death. AT Gallipolis, o., on the
morning of Aug. 10, 1878, the engineers
of the tug refused to work any longer
and ran the boar alongside the bank,
where all hands except two men and
the doctor deserted. 1t was from New
Orleans that the tug and its barges
brought the cargo Of which Yellow
Jack was master.
A pitiful story is told of the last out
break of fever of any consequence,
which took place in 1888. All Louisi-
ana was in dire distress, when none
knew at what moment the deaths head
might leer in at the door. Apparently
sporadic cases were heard Of on every
hand. DR.. L'HeureauX, a physician of
New Orleans, learned that at the
house of a farmer out toward Bayou
Christian, the disease had found sew
eral victims, all of whom were in a
pitiable state. The doctor, who had
nc fear of Yellow Jack, drove out to

of the family had gone. Across the
road from the house sat the owner.
beside a brightly burning bonfire Of
pine logs He tod the doctor that his
son was sick in the house, but that he
was afraid to go to him.
The doctor went in and searched the
dwelling which he found to be in a
condition simply frightful, but discov>
cred no sign of the patient. At last,
behind the kitchen stove lay form
that he at first thought was that of a
negro, but on examination discovered
that the nineteen-year-old boy, fe-
vered, thirsty and dying from the
dread disease, had crawled about on
the filthy floors of his home in vain
search for water and had at last coll
lapsed on the spot where he was
found.
This is one of hundred instances.
Yellow Jack drives courage from men
who have fearlessly faced death and
danger in many forms. There is some
thing so horrible about it that one be-
comes tremendously alarmed with ap-
parently slight cause. What brings
the yellow fever to New Orleans is
something that no one knows, unless
it be that certain conditions of the at
mosphere or certain growths of veg
etable nature result in the birth Of the

one which would be available at any
moment
The news of the discovery of this
serum and the fact that the Italian
savant had his attention directed to
New Orleans as field of experiment,
if ever opportunity offered, was brought
here by an American physician, recent
ly arrived from Montevideo. He states
that Sanarelli told him that he believed
that New Orleans would offer, if it ever
became unfortunate enough, a field for
experiment superior to that of any
other place in North America, owing to
the peculiar climatic conditions exist
ing in the city and it's surroundings.
He told this physician also that while
at present it was impossible for him
to spare any Of the serum he had
made, as soon as it was possible he
would forward to him here at New
Orleans a small supply to be used in
case of an outbreak of fever. If this
physician had that supply now, he
could sell it for triple, yes, quadruple
it's weight in gold. While the fever
here has practically been checked, for,

the city so dreadfully that even the
mention of it fairly excites terror.
1t is less than twenty years since the
deaths from yellow fever in New Or

within one month. This was in the
autumn of 1878, when the Mississippi
valley bore far more the appearance of

Another fact which contributes some

that the best artists of today are those
