Americans are the most inventive peo-

nearly 100000 patents, or more than one

than Cham berlaid's Collie, Cholera and

relieve pain and suffering. J. w. Vaughn

The excitement connected with handling

much to make one forget the noise. and
the smell of the burning powder has an
Intoxicating effect which lends charm

SIGNALING BY LIGHTS.
"a rapid and beautiful method of
communication at night between the
ships of a squadron could be arranged
by electric lights of different colors at
the masthead. Certain combinations
could spell certain words. and the al
ternating play of the current from red
to green. from blue to yellow. would be
as confusing to an enemy as easily in
telligible by n friend.
while l know of no automobile tor
pedo that is propelled by electricity, a
small storage cell would probably be
as effective as the compressed air en-
CINE, by which the Whitehead torpedo
is now driven through the water. There
would be nothing to gain by installing
an electric plant on q torpedo boat to
furnish its motive power, as the pro-
cess of converting steam into electric
ity would be so wasteful, but torpedo
boats might readily by storage cells.
The application of electricity to the
firing of great guns by heating the fuse
by a direct current. and to shifting
the turrets in which the great guns are
mounted, according as it is desired to
vary their line of fire, seems the height
of simplicity and utility. The simple
pressure of a button closes n circuit
and turns the current generated by the
ships plant into the little motor. which
