-Looking Ont for Japan.
WASHINGTON. Sept. oj.-The navy
department proposes to keep at least
two ships constantly in the vicinity Of
Honolulu for prompt service In case Of
emergency. The two vessels now
there are the flagship Philadelphia
and the gunboat Remington. The
latter recently relieved the old cor
vettc Marion, which arrived at San
Francisco n few days ago. The Phi!a-
delphia Is In need Of n thorough over
hauling after her long stay in tropical
waters and has been ordered
to San Francisco for that purpose.
Her return Is delayed, however, Ivy
the fact that there are not enough
available men on the Pacific coast to
man the baltimore, now Mt San Fran
cisco The baltimore is to take her
place as flag ship Of the Pacific squad
ron, with station at Honolulu. In
| consequence of this lack Of men IL has
been decided To keep the baltimore Mt
San Francisco until the arrival there
Of the Philadelphia. 80 as to utilize
the crew ~ that vessel.
In pursuance Of the plan Of keeping
two vessels At Honolulu, the Philadel-
phia will defer her departure for the
United States until she Is relieved by
the cruiser Yorktown, which left 70.
kahoma, Japan, Wednesday for that
port The Yorktown had been on the
Chinese station for three years and
had been ordered to San Francisco TO
receive n necessary o~vcrhaulipg. Rear
Admiral Miller, commanding the ma
val forces in the Pacific, will remain
ut Honolulu until otherwise ordered
by the president. He will not
return on the Philadelphia, but
when that vessel shall leave for home
he will transfer his flag TO the gum
BOAT Bennington, spending most Of
time on shore. however, keeping n
sharp lookout for developments. Al
though there is no japanese warship
in Hiawiian waters at present, IL is
likely there will be one, and probably
two before the annexation Of the Is
land becomes an accomplished fact.
When the Naniwn left for japan, It
was generally understood in Honolulu
that she would return after receiving
needed repairs.

Origin of Desserts.

We are indebted to the French sys-
tenn of gastronomy for the dessert
courses at meals. They had no place in
the early English dinner and were first
introduced into that country in the time
of the Stuarts when the French revival
took place under Charles |. At first
they were simply accomplishments to
other courses, being composed Of vari-
Gus sweet things, designed, according
to an old Norman writer, ito take the
taste of the horrible cookery out of
their mouths. " In the course of time
the sweets were put in course by
themselves which stimulated the
French cooks to put forth their con-
slant endeavors to invent new dishes.
Louis XIV had cook who invented
new desserts for his masters dinners.

Big Magnets For Hosting Iron.

It is known that for some time past
electro magnets have been used at Wool
witch for hosting shells and for other
purposes. 1t appears that these can be
advantageously employed for handling
plates in plate mills. A recent installa-
ton of electro magnets for this purpose
has proved remarkably successful. A
primary difficulty was encountered in
the circumstance of the magnets pick
ing up too many plates at one time, as
the magnetism was carried for some
distance through the pile. The diff
Guilty however, was found to be readily
overcome by a little dexterity on the
part of the operator After the magnet
has been lowered on to a pile Of plates
and several plates have been taken up
together, the operator simply pulls the
switch out, thereby breaking the cur
rent for an instant. By this operation
one or two plates can be dropped off at
each breaking of the current, sufficient
residual magnetism remaining with the
plates next to the magnet to hold them
until the current is switched on again.
The operation is continued until only
Dne plate is attached. With double pole
magnets up to five tons can be safely
handled, taking four amperes at 240
volts.-London Industries and Iron.
