Electric PrOpuIsiOn Of ShiDs.

Up to the present electricity has
scarcely been thought suitable as the
principal motive or propelling power
for the larger type Of vessels. This is
undoubtedly owing to the fact that for
a given horsepower triple or quadruple
expansion steam engine would take up
less space and probably weigh less than
an electrical installation of equal power.
Storage batteries are out of the question
for such uses, although persons not well
up in electrical subjects frequently won

Worked the Wrong Wny.

Mr. Dooley, Mobile ship carpenter,
-elates an amusing incident connected
with the blockade Of Mobile harbor dur
ing the civil war. Some ship carpenters
had been put TO work by the govern
ment TO manufacture floating mines and
had taken u number of heavy pieces of
square timber and placed them in the
form of II triangle, three pieces being
used to each. AT the end Of each Of the
sticks-that is, on the three points--was
placed torpedo. A few days after this
the wind came out strong from the north,
and the torpedocs were taken and placed
In position in the bay 30 that they
would be driven by the wind against
the United States gunboats.
The plan was apparently TO be sue
cessful, the torpedoes being driven rap
idly in the direction of the enemy 4 gun
boats, and great damage might have re-
suited to Uncle Sans ships had not the
wind suddenly changed, and the torpe-
does were brought back and carried in
bunch to the bay opposite Frascati.
Here the torpedo mines met in nm eddy,
and there was suddenly great explo-
sion, followed by another, and yet an
other, completely tearing the RATS to
pieces and producing at the samc time
a panic among the people resident on
the shore, who went to Mobile city and
reported that the enemy was lombard

A teetotal lecturer at West Bromwich,

drinking, told his audience story Of a
wooden legged topper who was SO drunk
one night that he took off his wooden
leg to wind the clock. The story was
told in all simplicity by the lecturer

Strange to say, it applied exactly to the

Writing of the perils of naval warfare,
Park Benjamin in The Independent says:
Nobody now believes that captain
who finds his vision through the slits
Of the coming tower cut off by smoke
will stay thus shut up. 1t is extremely
doubtful IL it will be physically possible
for him to remain there after the shells
commence to hammer its sides and burst
against it, and in any event the intense
anxiety to see and know clearly what
the enemy is doing will inevitably lead
him to take his chances in the open.
Coming tower OF no coming tower, his
duty is to place himself at whatever
point he can manage his ships to the
best advantage, and this he will GER
tainly do. Lord Charles Beresford, with
grim humor, has suggested that the
captains safest place is not in but be-
hind his coming tower, "because then
he has two thicknesses of steel between
himself and the enemy, don't you seer"
But while coming tower armor may re-
sist penetration it is by no means GER
tain that the whole structure will not
be swept away by the first heavy pro-
jectile which squarely hits it,

The School Appropriation.

Prof. II. b. Teitrlck County Superin-
tendent Of schools, has issued the fol-
lowing address, which is well worth
needing by our school directors gen
orally:
"Thc basis on which the state appro-
priatloh for our public schools was di-
vided among the school districts. was
changed at the last legislature. The
change made was greatly TO the advan-
tagc " the country districts, reducing
the sum paid to the cities and large
towns, aud increasing the payments to
the townships and sparscly populated
districts In most cases.
Under the new law our county gets
&4, 38L9l. Under the old law we got
siS.S35.92, giving us an increase under
the new law Of $.55l.SD. But under
this new law Brookville, Punxsutawney,
Reynoldsville, Young, and Worthwhile
districts lose $2,320.7l, which goes to
the country districts, outside of Young,
so that their gain Is really s7,Ss2.7O, or
fraction over 20 per cent.
This change in the law was made to
help country districts, that they might
be able to pay their teachers better
wages, and in some cases that they
might lengthen the school term.
With the large help received from
the state every country district ought
TO pay It's teachers at least $40 month.
and most Of them from $35 to $40 Il
month. And some of them ought TO in
crease the school term to seven months.
II this additional school money H. not
used by the rural districts to increase
the pay of their teachers at least and
In some cases to lcngthcn the school
term, there is great danger that the
state appropriation will be decreased in
coming years. The state will not con-
tinue to give such large sums to school
districts II the directors OF these dis
trcts use it merely to decrease their
school taxes. Let directors look this
matter squarely In the face, and act
wisely.
The increased amount given this year
to the country districts will enable them
to Increase the wages OF their teachers
from So To $40 II month without adding
anything to their tax burden, save in
one or two townships.
The cities and towns. which suffer
nearly all the loss under this new sys-
TEN of distribution, are the ones that
have paid the highest wages to teachers
uniformly, and have made most sacri-
fees for their schools. Now, let the
country districts, which are gaining so
largely in the state appropriation, use
the increased amount of money they are
receiving in the same way.
