The Baltimore Sun observes: The
destruction of the Maine-a vessel
costing 81, 800, ,000-by al explosion,
raises the question of the wisdom of
putting two and half millions in one
ship. If we are not to take the often
sive at sea, why should we build yes
sells of great size and cost? Smaller
vessels costing not over $500, 600 would
be ample for harbor defense. The
torpedo boat is cheap and efficient for
local defense. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer, which is somewat larger, is
vastly more efficient, and Admiral
Coulomb, of the British navy, declares
that it is the naval vessel Of the future
and will drive the huge battle ships
and cruisers from the seas. He makes
the point that over twenty such boats
may be built for the money that one
battle ship costs, and economy and
good sense call for the abandonment
of large battle ships and cruisers. 1t
is unwise, he argues, to put all ones
eggs in one basket. The largest ship
may be sunk by one torpedo, such as
a small torpedo boat or destroyer "
NAV eject from her "tubes." The
ordinary type of torpedo is long
metallic cylinder, cigar-shaped, hav-
ing at its front end percussion cap
and load of gun cotton and in its rear
end a reservoir of compressed air,
which acts on its screw propelters to
proeel the whole through the water at
high speed toward the enemy vessel.
1t is commonly elected by means OF
compressed air.-sometimes by explo-
sives from a tube in the bow, side or
stern of a ship, above or below water.
The ship or torpedo boat is so turned
that one of its "tubes" will bear on
the enemy's vessel and at that mo-
ment the torpado is elected. The
torpedo strikes the enemy's hull I'M
der water and a single hit is sufficient
to sink So, 900, 900 battle ship. The
enemy's means of defense is to destroy
the torpedo boat by rapid-tire guns
before it can get within torpedo range,
which is not very great.

company informing the latter of the investi-
cation made and the decision reached and
this was the first intimation that the Lowell
company had of the matter. The
statement that the Lowell Diamond is the
best bicycle built is based upon the fact
that every part Of the machine is made at
their own factory. Previous to and includ-
ing 1896 the machine bearing the name
of the Lowell Diamond was manufactured
for the John ?. Lowell Arms Co. by out
side parties, but beginning with the season
of 1897, every part of every machine bearing
their name plate has been constructed at the
factory of the John P. Lowell Arms Co. at
South Portland Maine. This fact easily
accounts for the proven supremacy of the
Lowell Diamond over all other leading
makes of the world. The Lowell Arms Com

he imagined the time had arrived, and,
jumping out of bed, he grusped revolver

pulled the trigger half dozen times, but
fortunately the chambers were empty. Miss

he was taken to the institution at Goffstown.

Several actions have been brought
by holders of matured bonds Of the
old Highland Street Railway company
in the supreme and the superior courts
against the West End Street Railway
company for damages for its alleged
refusal to give them shares of pre-
ferred stock Of the West End for
their bonds, which matHred on Jan
uarv last. The damages asked for
in these suits foot up to about
$50, 900, and ex-Secretary of State
Richard Olney and the Hon. Sigourney
Butler appear as counsel for some of
the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs claim
that by reason of their bonds not hay-
ing been paid before maturity they
held by virtue of Chapter 15l of the
Acts of 1876 the right to have them
converted, after their maturity, into
stock at fixed ratio; and that the West
End company being the mediate adopt
ing parent of the old Highland COM
pany assumed by that adoption this
obligation. That act authorized the
old Highland company to increase its
capital stock to 100000 and the
company passed, by consolidation
with the old Mddlesex company in
1886 into the Boston Consolidated
Street Railway company, which was,
in turn, acquired by the West End
company. The cases will give rise to
interesting legal questions.
