noisy mob got wind of the movement
and later attempted to intercept the
carriage.
Bent on murder, the negroes swarmed
about the hack, which was obliged to
stop. Gen. Pettus realized the situa-
ton, stepped on the drivers seat, and,
with stern eloquence suitable to the
occasion, appealed to the men to dis
perse and allow the law to deal with
the case. and gave his pledge that he
would see justice vindicated. He
quelIed the trouble by swaying the null
titude The hack was then allowed to
proceed, bearing its occupants out of
the town.
Gen. Pettus, true to his word, after
wards defended and acquitted his friend
of the homicide.
On another occasion, at about the
same time. Gen. Pettus was the cen
trail figure in a very serious race riot
at Selma. A white man and negro be-
came involved in a quarrel, and the lat
ter was shot and killed in front of the
aarkethouse. Before the whites could
mobilize the blacks had seized the slay
er and beaten him almost to death.
They were then dragging his body
through the streets. The mob was met
by Gen. Pettus with other citizens and
the body was recovered, but the man
had expired. The ringleaders were i'm
mediately arrested and jailed, and were
afterward tried, convicted and sew
eral sent to the pententiary.
Gen. and Senator Pettus is no less
soldier than a jurist and statesman.
At the siege of Vicksburg, Miss, the
enemy had captured a redoubt that
was of great strategic Importance, and
Gen. Stephen D. Lee ordered that it
be retaken in spite of the danger of the
attempt. Lieut.. Col. Pettus was or
dered to lead the attack on the lost
point. He promptly accepted the duty
and called for volunteers. 1t looked
then as if to volunteer meant certain
death Waul's Texas legion stepped
forward in body. Selecting 40 of
them. together with three Alabamians,
who had also volunteered, Col. Pettus
stormed the redoubt, captured it and
carried away 100 prisoners.

THE HOLLAND TORPEDO BOAT.

Lewis Nixon launched at the Cres-
cent shipyard, Elizabethport, n. j., on
May 18th the submarine torpedo boat,
designed by John P. Holland. She
was christened the Holland. The boat,
which is torpedo-shaped, is so feet, 3
inches long and 10 feet, inches in di-
ameter amidships. She is equipped
with a gaso1ene engine and a dynamo,
the former to be used when the boat
is sailing along the surface and the lat
ter when she is submerged. Accord
ing to the inventor, she can travel I'M
der water knots an hour for hours
and 10 knots on the surface. 1t is cal
culated that the vessel can be sub
merged in less than a minute or
brought to the surface in about the
same time. The vessel is provided with
three torpedo tubes one of these at the
upper bow of the boat, being an aerial
torpedo thrower. with a range of one
mile Below this gun is an expulsion
tube for Whitehead torpedoes, and two
more of these will be carried. There
will. also. be five submarine guns,
which, with a 100-pound charge of ex-
plosive, are expected to- hurl a 400
pound projectile 100 yards through the
water.
Inc f1OtldnQ mas only one screw,
which, with the diving and steering
rudder. is protected from injury by
steel ring nearly foot broad and an
inches thick. Reservoirs of compressed
air will be stored inside the boat to
provide a constant supply Of fresh air
and to expel the water from the tanks,
which are filled to facilitate submerg-
ence. When the tanks are filled and a
full crew is aboard there will be re-
serve buoyancy of about 600 pounds.
To overcome this the vessel must be
kept moving constantly when under
water. and the diving rudders must be
kept slightly pitched downward to hold
the boat on an even keel. When the
vessel stops running while under water
she will rise to the surface through her
own buoyancy. An automatic arrange
ment prevents the boat from going to
too great a depth, the pressure of the
water on a rubber diaphgram being
used, as in the case of an ordinary au-
to-mobile torpedo. A drag floating
over the stern when submerged regu-
lates the steering rudder automatically
and keeps her on a straight course.

American firms now send from three
to four large steamers a month to
South Africa. Large quantities of
bicycles, patent medicines, furniture,
and farm implements have been sent
out there lately, and as regards farm
some of the older patterns,
which have become difficult to sell in
the home market in consequence of re-
cent inventions, are said to have found
a ready market. There is also large
export of hardware, doors, sashes,
castings, etc. 1t takes on an
average of 80 days for a steamer to
reach South Africa. Boston was at one
time the chief port of shipping; the
bulk of the business is now, however,
done from New York
Sunlight penetrateS the sea TO
depth of more than 1,5O0 feet when the
water is perfectly clear. Recent exper-
iments made in the Mediterranean
about Is miles off the coast of Corsica,
confirmed this by Photographic eX-
posures at that depth. Ordinarily sun
light at the depth of 165 feet is no
stronger than the light of the full moon
while at 325 feet it is more than a mere
twilight At $50 feet the darkness is
total under ordinary circumstances. In
some parts of the ocean, where the
water is of almost crystal clearness;
there are exceptions to this rule. The
spotted corals near Mindera in the
Indian Ocean are clearly visible from
above, although imbedded about 10
feet below the surface, and the Carrib
bean Sea is also as clear as crystal, and
objects at the bottom are seen even at
depths.

Refused to Work.

There was trouble among the crew
of the steamer Claudine at Lahaina
Saturday night, and it is just likely
that arrests may follow. There was a
merry-go-round to be landed at that
place, and the men were told to turn
to and do the work. They objected,
saying that the work was not along
the regular line. They were tired and
did not intend to do anything except
that which they deemed to be ships
work. If it was intended to land the
81 extra pay must be
given each before a hand would be
turned. There was nothing to be done,
as the men were stubborn.
