BETTER THAN STEAM PIPES.
The Transmission of Power by Electricity
on Naval Vessels.

The Transmission or ROVER Dy ELECTRICITY
on Naval Vessels.
There can be no question that elec-
tric transmission of power will IN the
near future largely displace the objec-
tionable steampiping, of which such
great amount is now necessary in our
modern naval vessels in order to supply
steam to much of the auxiliary ma
chinery. 1t is easy to see that such pip
ing is Objectionable to many ways. 1t
is bulky and takes up valuable space
when protected, as it must be, from nom
conducting covering. The covering ia
subject to more or less deterioration
with the vibration of the ship and the
machinery. The heat from the pipes Is
Objectionable in every closed space,
while the necessity of providing for the
exhaust and of keeping the pipes
drained of water of condensation is
constant source of trouble. More
serious still is the danger which such
| steamppes threaten in time of action,
since the cutting of any one OF them by
q proiectile would result in severe in
| Jury to all within reach. To meet these
objections suggestions have been made
advocating the substitution of hydraulic
power, while others again point to the
advantages which compressed air pos
sesses under these particular cond1-
tions. AS to what can be done in the
latter direction is shown by the very
complete installation with which the
| United States monitor Terror has been
equipper. On this vessel compressed
air is used for performing all the various
mechanical operations on board, from
moving the rudder to hoisting ammuni-
ton. This is far superior to system Of
steampipe distribution or to the scat
tering Of donkey boilers over various
parts of the vessel, and, as we have said,
the only system that promises even bet
ter results is electrical power distribu.
ton. 1t would appear that compressed
air would be superior to this in sim
plicity for direct hosting, while where
a rotary motion is required the electric
motor would have the advantage. 81
far as injury during action is concerned
!. II is. however, clear that the electrica
system has the advantage, since injur,

the Bohemian spa for treatment, and
the local press by a natural blunder
reported him as James L., King of Buff
1alo, America. The blunder seemed hui
morous enough at first, but presently
serious symptoms were exhibited. The
paryenus, the sycophants, the tuft
hunters, the snobs, the parasites and
the beggars swooped down on poor
King; the hotel people tieeced him, and
there seemed to be a general con.
spiracy to mulct him. In vain he
sought to convince his prosecutors that
it was a hideous mistake-that he was

to leave town, and wherever he went

"Your story about 1ngersoll," said

minds me of an American gentleman
who was recently at dinner party
in London, and had rather curious
experience. There was also present an
extremely aristocratic but insular
Briton, with that large contempt for
things American that even to-day a
few Englishmen display. Nevertheless
he deigned to notice the American gen
tleman SO far as to ask him a great
number of questions about the United
States, some of them very ludicrous.
Finally the question of geography came
up, and the Englishman inquired as to
the relative size of Texas, the largest
state. "Well," replied the American,

Family Funds.

One of the old residents of n Mas. sachusetts town delights the young or generation with her stories of life in the town 20 years ago. when she was Q little girl. Her father, with his wife and children, and his broth CT, with wife and children also, oo- cupied a great farmhouse which Is still in a state of excellent preserva- tion in spite of its years of hard servioe.
 My father and my uncle had a common purse, ." said the old lady to a young visitor who was begging for "reminiscences of that bygone time, land all the family expenses were provided for from the funds it contained.
 ''There were 12 children in our part of the house and t3 in my anole's. so that it took a good deal to provide us with food and cloth. ing.
 My uncle had the reputation of being a l. le more prudent in money matters t....n was considered neoes- sary by I.-y father or any one ac- quaintcd 1ith our affairs, so have heard since.

Jaoaness Pockets.

Japanese folks, says a traveller in that country, have six or eight pockets cunningly inserted in the cuffs of their wide sleeves. These pockets are always filled with a lot of things that would surprise any one who took a dip in one of them Among the things they carry are the prayers which the priests com. pose, and which are written out on little squares of rice paper. They carry plenty of these pocket prayers, for they use them like medicine. If they feel distressed in mind or body they whip out prayer and swallow it. paper and all, confident that they will feel better at once. Their hand kerchiefs are of paper, too, small squares again of a silky paper, and they use these for various things, never using one but once. As soon as it has done one service, wiping out a teacup, drying tear, or what it may be, it is thrown away.-New York Tiu1aa

PREscorr, ARIz., May 2l, ls97. To our Patrons:
 Inasmuch as several of our pa irons and ourselves have received notices from the Sunset Telephone < Telegraph Company announcing the recent decision of the Supreme court pertaining to the Berliner patent and notifying our patrons that the American Bell Telephone Company will prosecute suits For infringement, we deem 1t only talr to our subscribers to say to them that there Is no need of uneaslness on their part. We are guaranteed ample protection in the purchase and use of the instruments we have installed by the American Electric Telephone Company, from whom they are bought; and we in turnwill protect our patrons against any suits for damages on account oi using any of our instruments. We may also add that in case. the Bell company should seek to establish ln court that the Hunnings telephone, which We are using, is aa infringe ment of the Beriner, they will hardly select Arizona as the field to test such an important question, and hardly seek out the individual sub scriber to begin against him the primary suit, It Is doubtful Il the Bell company will ever seek to show that the Hunnings telephone is an infringement of the Berliner; and in case they do they can scarcely afford to maintain a law suit against each and every user of a Hunnings telephone. from whom in the remote contingency of winning such suit, they could not hope to recover more than a few months royalty. The suits for infringement, should there ever be any, will be. between fhe Bell company and one or more of tho various larger telephone con
 otion companies, and will nc
 consume many years ln Lti-
 u the courts before ques
 Infringement can be In
 |. We have goot; reas
 ing very comfortable ovel

The Afternoon Newspaper.

Newspaper men," says the Lan- caster Examiner, "are recognizing the growing importance of the even- ing journal, and it is not uncommon for those who make up the morning paper, the editors and reporters, to tell you how much they can con dense from the evening papers for the next day edition. The exchanges a morning paper refers to or reads are the journals of the preceding evening. Take the leading evening papers of Philadelphia, read them and the next mornings papers, and then consider how much essential news you have got from the latter. We say this because people are apt to be non-critical, and to call their attention to the fact that the worlds business is done in day time--not at night. This is so often overlooked that men read tomorrow what was in the evening paper, and give the latter no credit"
