savannah, Sept. 6.-The leading depart

The exchanges were closed on account of

business was suspended, almost entirely
and merchants, who visited their offices
carly left as soon as they got the Liver

is more TO the purpose, more effective
electrical apparatus than the fighting
craft of any other nation.
Not all the appliances put in, however,
have been found equal to the severe test
of actual practice. Electric lights in place
of lamps, electric motors in place of hoist
ing, pumping and other light steam en-
gines, electric turret-revoving gear sig
nal lamps, steering apparatus, and, above
ALL electric ammunition hoists and firing
contrivances have proved thoroughly
successful. These are all worked by the
use of a comparatively strong current
generated by a powerful dynamo. But
those appliances whose efficiency depends
upon light-battery currents have almost
all been found wanting.
The electric water alarms, for instance,
have never been known to work when
water has actually entered the compart-
ments TO which they have been fitted,
though more than once they have signal
ed when the compartments were dry as
bone An electric apparatus fitted to coal
bunkers, for the purpose of sounding an
alarm in case of fire or unusual heat, has
done no better service. The electric tele-
graph from the bridge to the engineer has
also failed to work when most needed,
and the old mechanical telegraph which
works perfectly has been put back in
place The apparatus too by which the
commanding officer could inform himself
at a glance concerning the speed of the
propeller has not been satisfactory,
and the same is true of the appliance de-
Vised to show the helm angle"
In preliminary trials every one of these
things has promised excellently. but in
every case they have been permanently
put out of order by a few days at sea,
and they will not be included in the APP
planes now being overhauled at tho
Brooklyn navy yard. Undoubtedly these
failures are chiefly due to the neVer-end-
ing Vibratl of the modern warship's iron
hull, though In the cases of the telephone,
which is also oftener a failure than 9TH
erwise at sea, the continual noise is some
thing Of a factor. And there is probably
not an experienced commander in the
entire service who would dream of going
into action, or of navigating difficult wa
ters, with no communication between the
bridge and the engine room save that fur
nished by the electric current.

Of course, only applies to those who take
1t, not as an adjunct to the enjoyment
OF life or to the pleasures Of the table,

it can do no more harm than any other
luxury-it increases appetite and stimu-

it is certainly beneficial. II strengthens
