chances that would be madness for a
larger craft to attempt; stealing up to
an enemy's boats under cover of dark
ness. and fitting around when the big
SHIPS are in action, awaiting the first
opportunity to discharge q torpedo at
the nearest enemy, protecting the
cruisers and battleships from the at

destroying those dangerous craft; run

acting as dispatch boats when small

Their usefulness is incalcula BILE and
yet the United States navy is without

We have some splendid torpedo boats,
but Spain has nearly a score of the

There is possibility that Capt
Brownson, who is now abroad on
purchasing expedition for the
United States, may be able to secure
some torpedo boat destroyers from
foreign ship builders, and If he can
there Is no doubt that he will get them.
When it is remembered that $4,000

PtOmaines-Wha They Are.
From the Chicago Evening Post.
What is ptomaine?
This question is being asked by many
persons just now, and with very good rea-
son, that the Evening Post will try to answer
1t in such a plain way that little IL any,
scientific knowledge will be necessary to q
clear understanding. Briefly, a ptomaine is
an animal alkaoid that forms part of the
process of putrefaction. 1t is a chemical
compound resulting from the action of BAG
terra or germs. and, generally speaking. it
is one of the deadliest poisons known 10
medical science. 1t has the added danger
of being little understood even by those
who have studied it most. 1t is found in
all decaying organic matter but more par
ticularly in meats fish and milk. Speaking
broadly, it is not destroyed rendered
harmless by those agencies which kill 5ac-
terra or fungi. 1t withstands great degrees
of both heat and cold, and its deadly effect,
when taken into the human system, is almost
too quick for the most promptly secured
medical skill The recent death of the noted
musician, Anton Seidl and five others in
New York and the serious illness OF nearly
a hundred persons in that city besides. all
due to ptomaine poisoning, makes considera-
ton of this subject timely.

CORPORAL POTTER A

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Corporal Ash ton Potter, who is on his way to Homo lulu under arrest, is defended by mem bers of his family although they think his punishment was no more than he deserved. He is Q brother of James Brown Potter and a. 1nephew of Bishop Potter. His father, Howard Potter, was for many years a member or the banking firm of Brown Bros. 61 Go. On account of his connections his esca- pades in recent years have attracted considerable attention.
 T have no doubt" said James Brown Potter to-day that the young man got. no more than he deserved. Lieu tenant Colonel Stacpole, who ordered his arrest, is a fine soldier and a gen. tleman. I do not question the justice of his action. The boy does not seem to have don anything malicious. He had a little too much energy; that was all He also had too much money. As to his boasting of his position, 1 do not think he could be guilty of such behavior. for such a thing is entirely foreign 10 his nature. He was ex- ceedingiy anxious to see active service and no doubt 'elt greatly disappointed in not being s-nt to Manila
 Corporal Potter is credited with sow ing the full bushel of wild oats spoken of in the old saw. He has been known for many. seasons at leading seashore resorts. He is about 2 years old, tall and stfikingly handsome. Potter was a favorite wherever he went. He was brought into conspicuous notice in August. 1895. when he and Philip $. r. Randolph of Philadelphia fought at Narraga- ett Pier. R. l. The quarrel was reported at the time to have been due to money matters. Mir Randolph. however, denied this over his own sig nature. and said the trouble came from a disa greement. the nature of which he did not explain. Potter's counte- nanc bore traces Of the encounter for several weeks.
 Potter was once engaged to Miss Car ter of Philadell hia, but the enga cement was subsequently broken. The cor poraI's friends stoutly defend his recent actions on the ground of his youth and speak of his dash and bravery.
