A Terrible Fate.
The effect of one lucky hit at a sub
marine boat can easily be appreciatcd.-the
slightest leak and the unfortunate boat goes
plunging down, down to the uttermost
depths, while the imprisoned crew, like SO
many rats caught in a trap. knowing thai

through the frame.
Remarkable indeed has this contest been
between the ironclad and the torpedo boat

but more especially from that of the con-
trasts afforded by the methods of fighting
adopted by the two adversaries. At night
the torpedo boat puts out its fires and seeks
TO become invisible. The ironclad imme-

its powerful searchlights. turning night

q FIRE broke out in the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum An
awful mass of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to
stern with explosion of the barrels Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river, spreading a belt
of fire around her. The master and seamen
jumped overheard. Captain Sharp, whose
vessel was lying closely, propelled small
boat through the blazing river and after a
severe scorching and imminent peril saved
the seaInen from horrible death

receive infection from each other when
indoors than in the outdoor air.
In consequence of the peculiar methods
under which tuberculosis is spread from
one person to another, from the sick to the
we'll, it IS there fore desira BILE that the most
careful attention should be bestowed upon
the condition of those persons who are COM
PEELED either to live or TO work indoors and
that due measure of the work of boards
of health with reference to the restriction
OF the spread OF this disease should be ex-
pended in this direction. The danger from
the consumption of milk and meat Of tuter-
culous animals has been investigated and
thus far, while the danger to he feared
from this cause may be said to have passed
from the region of possibility to that of
Probability, that which may be feared from
the diffusion of sputum in inclosed areas
or spaces may be raid to amount TO a GER
tainty.
Its character is too well defined, both by
observation and by experiment 10 admit a
reasonable doubt. The active principle OF
infection, the bacillus OF tuberculosis is
recognizable; it is capable of isolation from
the body. of cultivation and of incubation
into the lower animals But. practically
the exact mode of infection, when applied
to the daily intercourse of human beings
is extremely limited, and no evidence has
ever been presented which tends TO show
that such infection ever occurs by exposure
in the open air. either by the breath of
consumptives by the distribution of
sputum upon the surface of the soil.

I think he was chiefly pleased with watch
ing the arrival Of the Sacramento and
Stockton steamers at the wharves. in the
hope Of discovering his old partner among
the passengers on the gangplank Here:
with his old superstitious tendency and
gamblers instinct, he would augur great
success in his search that day If any one
of the passengers bore the least resem-
blance to Uncle Jim, If a man or a woman
stepped off first, or II he had met a single

to be the real occupation Of the day, which
he would on no account have omitted. and

of what he was pleased to think were his
pleasures, until this act Of duty was &C
complished.
In this singleness of purpose he made
very few and no entangling acquaintance,
nor did he impart to any one the secret of
his fortune, loyalty reserving 1t for his
partners first knowledge. To a man of his
natural frankness and simplicity this was
a great trial. and was, perhaps, a crucial
test of his devotion. When he gave up his
rooms at the Oriental-as not necessary af-
ter his partners absence-he sent letter,
with his humber address, to the myster-
ious lock box of his partner without fear
or false shame. He would explain 1t all

ton in it, was somewhat inconsistency ir-
ritated by mental functions in men, and
although he gave eXtravagantly to walters,
and threw dollar to the crossing sweeper,
there was always a certain shy avoidance
of them in his manner Coming from the
theater one night Uncle Billy was, how
ever, seriously concerned by one of these
crossing sweepers turning hastily before
them and being knocked down by passing
carriage The man rose and limped hur-
riedly away, but Uncle Billy was amazed
and still more irritated to hear from his
companion that this kind Of mental occu-
patton was often profitable, and that at
some of the principal crossings the sweep
ers were already rich men.
But a few days later brought more
notable event to Uncle Billy. One after
noon in Montgomery street he recognized
