 The Army and Navy Journal devotes part of its space to an account of an invention by Rudolph Attschul designed to increase the speed of vessels, and of barnacles by coating the submerged portion of the ship with crude petro- leum. The system in question is so ar- ranged that in rough weather large quantity of oil can be discharged along the sides of the ship and distributed over the surface of the water, thus pro- viding a more effective method of greas- ing and smoothing high seas than any other devised. This covering compost tallow, calcined carbon. and other in- gredients not publicly disclosed, and the statement is that the substance hardens In the water and cannot wash off. and can be applied to submarine war projectiles, permitting extra veloc- ity. A series of iron flanges are fas- tened along the bottom and sides of the ship below the water line, in which are inserted sheets of woven-wire net ting, lathing, or sheet iron, covered with an absorbent composition saturated with oil; the fianges have a semi-cir- cular covering on top. below which runs finely perforated pipe which elects a fine spray of oil against the inside of the flange and on to the sheets, from which 1t spreads downward. The oil is not carried away by the water. but, through capillary attraction, is spread.

 New textile mill construction during the last half year, according to the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, has been of smaller extent than in any corresponding period since the depres- sion set in. The number of mills actu- ally projected and undertaken in the six months is s7, of which 32 are cotton mills, 19 knitting mills, nine woolen and eight silk. More than one-half of all are located in the South, and no less than 27 in the Carolinas alone. Assum- ing that the last half year will be no more prolific of such enterprises, the 1897 record will be TIA new mills against 300 in 1896, 337 in 1895 and 263 in 1894.

Coal miners the world over will be in terested in new method of dislodging coal without blasting and without dan- ger of igniting combustible gases or dust. As described by MT. J. Tonge at a meeting of the Geological Society in Manchester, England, the device con- sists in using 3 thin steel cartridge IS inches long by 3 inches in diameter which is inserted in a hole drilled into the mass of coal to be loosened. Con nected with the cartridge IS a small tube and small but powerful hand pump. By pumping water into the car- tridge t is swollen and crack is start ed in the coal, which soon falls in large masses without being shattered as in blasting. The danger or mining is greatly 1essened by the disuse of ex- plosives

Z The new military law of Illinois will force the American Volunteers, Bal lington Booths religious organization, to change their uniforms Policemen will not be permitted to wear over- coats fashioned after those worn by army officers. The Clan -na-Gael Guard, Captain Thomas J. Ford's fa- mous Chicago Zouaves, the Aurora Zouaves, the Chicago Hussars, boys brigades and other senli- military con- panies throughout the State must change their uniforms For long time the officers of the National Guard have been trying to secure an enactment which would prevent the indiscriminate wearing of uniforms and the carrying of arms by independent military organ izations. Now that the law has gone into effect it is found that it is more sweeping in it's effect than even its framers expected.

Philadelphia. Dec. 25.-The statement
made at Milwaukee by A. c. Kraenzl,i in,
the fast hurdler, that the University of
Pennsylvania track team would visit
England next summer to compete in
games with Cambridge university, is de-
MED by Frank B. Ellis. chairman of the
University of Pennsylvania track com

Either kraenZlein has been misquotcd
or his imagination has run away with
him. There has been absolutely no cofre~

Cambridge in the matter. At the annual
meeting of the intercollegiate Athletic as
sociation in New York the last Saturday
in February motion will be made to
open negotiations with oxford and Cam

first and second men in the intercollegiate
championships to meet the pick of the

which will 20 10. London IL this scheme
is carried through successfully, will be

WAS SLOWLY SMOTHERED
CoLISEUMFI FIRE IN CHICAGO CLAIMED
ONE VICTIM ONLY.
An Immense Piece of Glass Fell on One
of the Firemen P1nioning Him To
the Ground.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-The fire which last
evening destroyed the Coliseum at
ssixty-third street and Stony avenue
claimed only one victim. He was n
FL. Johnson. whose charred remains
We're recovered from the ruins to-day
Johnson was a fireman employed about
the building. He had evidently re-
mained at his post until the last mo-
ment. Then he rushed toward an exit
Within few feet of the door an i'm
mense piece of glass fell from the roof,
pinioning him to the earth, While the
flames slowly smothered him.
It is practically certain that johnson
was the only person killed. but a thor
ough search of the ruins is being car
ried out. Those who were reported
missing last night returned To their
homes to-day. Most of them had mar
row escapes from death. Sholan Huff
man, the Armenian, who was employed
in the Streets of Cairo exhibition and
who was thought TO have been killed,
returned to his hotel this afternoon,
after having wandered about the city
all night. He said that In trying to es-
cape from the burning building he ran
10 the wagon exit When he finally
reached the open air he had inhaled so
much smoke that delirium set in and he
wandered about the streets all night.
The fresh air finally revived him and
he appeared at the Coliseum this after
noon.
