A cosy corner doesn't always have 20
be indoors Two girls discovered this IN
April. April in this part Of the country
came in rainy. and was more erralc
than March rs supposed 10 De, but lhc
weather cleared and then the pleasure OF
being out of doors b.Ossomed with the
flowers ana grew with the trees.
Two girls who live in the suburbs or

great green lawn slopng down 10 a
stream Of wafer, ana Iney Wcdlled OF the
tennis court and the grass, ana the ROAD
beyond 80 one Gay they got together
and with the nelp Of book on land
scape gardening, mapped out an out
door cosy corner
The stream Of water in front was a
river prOsaic sort Of a river, across
which ferry boats ran. Up the stream
and down IL broadened out into traiIlc.
But along this one spot IL was quiet,
and for three years these TWO girls had
lived in this suburb home without mag
ming that II could be anything except
a prosy old country!
They had read a great deal about cosy
corners--every woman nas-and they nad
all sorts OF cushioned divans and win
oOws with boxes ana oiaperies. But II
was only that day in April that an idea
Of the outdoor cosy corner came In.
II believe We could do 1t ourselves"
suggested one.
ii am positive we could" said the 9TH
or. "only 1t will take a little money"
Il have So" said the first one.
Il have got only A.S4,' said the other.
Then together they agreed that they
could do It on $9.5i, and they laid out
their plans.
The outdoor cosy corner was TO be
an ancient one, built like one OF the
terraces on the banks Of the Rhine, where
you walk down rickety old steps from the
castle 10 the water.
If II isn't quite firm, so much the
better" agreed they because II Will
look so much more medieval"
Nine dollars OF the whole fund was
expended on stones as IL was 10 be
stone cosy corner. From such quarry
as turks back OF every country place,
the girls obtained enough fat gray
stones, unchisseled and untrimmed, un-
matched and of various grains and colors
TO make a wall. which was TO border the
path leading down TO the river. The
path was six feet wide. The path had
long been used as a little walk down TO
the river and had become sunken from its
use. so that the bank grew higher on
either side 0t II.
with shovel and pick they dug the path
deeper until II Law Ike a trench between
the TWO side banks. Before the banks
had time 20 get washed down into the
path they sodded them and brought some
Big bushes with deep roots and set them
on either side of the bank until T. green.

work and they had 10 call In the man
Of-all-WOrk 20 assist them, although tney
afterwards said they could have done II
alone. la fact that they did DO II alone.
They dug broad steps all the way down
10 The edge and on the tread OF every
step they laid long fiat stone. some
times two stones, II they were needed.
They fitted them together as well as they
could and filed in the chinks between
the stone with sand and dirt into which
they packed cement and mortar.
II took quite a while, but IL was pleas
ant work. great deal pleasanter than
digging in a rose garden whore thOrns
tear your hands and the rose bugs fly
thick.
The snowy part came when they built
the wall on each side Of the steps. This
wall although only three feet hig and
scarcely four feet in length was so care
fully builded upon foundation OF grassy
bank that IL looked as though II were
great stone battlement The stones were
pied end on end until they were of the
right height Then the wall was cOntin-
up. At the termination of the wall they
set out lilac bushes and some hard
shrubs Of all kinds so that II looked as
though the wall disappeared in the in
terror Of the shrubhery.
These stone walls are not uncommon
things In the country, and farmers con-
stantly build them. In stony regions
along the Mississippi. where the ground
crops that you want 10 plant, a stone
wall is the cheapest thing you can build.
With a few bricks, some stones and ce-
ment the farmers build a stone wall FIVE
feet high that Is firm. You can climb
over Il. horses can jump IL, tornadoes
can sweep over II, but the wall will
stand
These two girls ave a wall such as
this but on a more refined scale They
purchased most of tho stone and tried to
get all OF the same shape. After they
had got them In place they hacked NOR
tar In between and laid the wall as
smoothly as they could.
The final stroke came when they CHS
eled its side. With neat little hammer
and chisel they went over the face OF the
wall, chiseling here and chiseling there,
making II even. When IL was done you
could scarcely have known 1t from
ground stone
a big white Swan-old white Nell
soon learned where her friends were TO be
found. She got In the habit OF sailing up
10 the front entrance of the outdoor
cosy corner for her MONDAY lunches
and two OF her friends got in the hab't
OF coming down the old stone steys
every day at noon TO meet old White
Nell.
In the afternoon the outdoor cosy cor
ner was crowded. Is crowded still. for
ell the young people along the shore
drop In. and the outdoor cosy corner is
voted greater success than the most
cushioned tn-dooR onA

the weight falls on a limo attached TO Il.
All mines, especially those with cleo
trio cables attached. must be protected
by gun fro or guard boats. as. IL the
mine-held is unprotected, they can be
easily destroyed by countermlning or
creeping. Countermining Is carried out
by exploding succession OF charges In
an enemys mine-held.
Capt Griffin referred the reporter to
the report on mines made by Gen. Alb
bolt, who speaks of the two types OF
electrical mines in use. the ground and
the buoyant
"The former" said Gen. Abbott, as
employed In comparatively shallow wa
ter. and consists Of Il case resting on
the bottom and containing a large charge

concealed from view. Is a buoy carrying
n circult-clOser to regulate the current
through a fuse imbedded in the former
"The buoyant mine Is designed for use
in deep water. and consists Of an anchor
holding In position a torpedo floating just
below the surface: the latter contains
the charge OF dynamite. the fuse, and
the circuit-closer. II desired, the latter
may be carried by a separate buoy, so
placed that when touched by outriggcrs
or other torpedo catchers. the mine Will

no vessel can pass without coming IN

gle conductor electric cables running
from each mine combine In multiple
cables and are extended through a sub
terranean gallery TO a secure bomb proof
casemate within the fort where is placed
the apparatus by which. az the Will OF
the operator the mines may be fired by
judgment or be rendered either inert or
automically explosive when struck by a
vessel.
SWEEP THE LINE or MINES.
Electric lights are arranged 20 sweep
the lines of mines. and thus give add
tional security against hostile operations
conducted under cover Of ;he darkness.
The casemate IS connected by telegraph
with a lookout. so that the whole system
is under the perfect control Of an officer
who can see what IS required and in
stantly give the needful orders.
For instance. a vessel might be chas-
Cd by an enemy's cruiser. She could pass
with absolute safety the mines. which
for her pursuer would no once become
deadly engines OF destruction"

tailed maps and plans for the torredo

nels in tho United Sia'es. and these are

through a single line OF mines without
coming within the destructive area OF
any.
Mines are, therefore. generally arrang-
ed I'm two or more lines the mines or
one line covering the spaces left between
the mines OF the next or several mines
may be laid close together and the whole
exploded simultaneously.
The electric circuit OF all electrical
mines is very simple. A voitaic battery
ashore has one pole put permanently 70
earth and the other pole Joined TO the
electric cable leading to the mine. This
cable passes into the minc case through
a water-tight joint and - connected up
to one pole OF the electric ietona.or the
other pole OF the detonator being con-
nected to the mouthpiece OF the nine
and consequently to earth.
To prevent the mine being fired until
the proper moment has arrived. this cir
cult must be broken somewhere and
means provided for completing It when
the mine Is to be fred. IN the case of
observation mines this is dons by irsert-
ing a firing key in the electric cable
near the battery. and In electro-contact
mines by a oircuit-closer I'm the mine.
ELBCTRO-CONTACT MINES.
Electro-contact mines are buoyant
mines moored about ten feet below the
surface, and are In connection with an
electric battery ashore. They are ar

foe.
Electrical mines haw the advantage
over mechanical once I'm the fact that
by tho removal OF the firing battery the
passage OF a ship IL rendered perfectly
safe, and that the condition OF the mine
can be ascertained by electrical tests
but the electric cables are liable 10 daTr-
age, and add greatly TO the expense of
the defense.
When gun-cotton or dynamite are used
in mines the charges vary from 30
pounds 10 600 pounds. according TO the
description OF the mine. In all mines
the charge is exploded by means OF a
detonator containing illuminate OF mer-
curry. In mines loaded with gun-cottOn
the detonator is inserted In a printing
charge OF dry gun-cotton. this printing
charge being in a metal case. closely
surrounded by the wet gun-cotton COM

Where dynamite is employed the prlm-

The explosion OF 200 pounds OF gum
