Electric Propulsion of Ships.

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 90 the fact that for
a given horsepower a triple or Guadruple
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 subject frequently Won
der why our ocean grCyhounds are not
propelled by some such method. 1t may
interest some Of our readers to know
that vessel requiring an average Of
10, 900 horsepower to propel it across
the Atlantic, and displacing 5000 tons,
would be obliged to carry, were storage
batteries alone made use of, 324 $50, =
900 pounds of such batteries, or, III
other words, the motive power alone
would weigh 1872, 24O tons, or 30 times
as much as the ship. p.-Electricity.

The Naval Captain In Battle.

Writing of the perils Of naval warfare,
Park Benjamin in The Independent says :
Nobody now believes that a captain
who finds his vision through the Sits
Of the coming tower cut off by smoke
will stay thus shut up. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it will be physically possible
fer him to remain there after the shells
commence to hammer its sides and burst
against it, and in any event the intense
anxiety 30 see and know clearly what
the enemy Is doing will inevitably lead
him to take his chances in the open
Coming tower or no coming tower, his
duty is 10 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 see?'
But while cCnnimg 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 Moujik.

The Russian calendar is full Of saints
days and Of holidays Of every kind, and
Ivan would sooner see his hay or his
oats rot upon the ground than do a
stroke Of work upon any day which Of
fers the smallest canOnical excuse for
remaining idle. Then there is 1.-THE
drink. " This is the darling vice of the
country and the real cause Of the pow
erty of the peasant classes and of half
the misery that exists throughout the
land
The fields remain half cultivated be-
cause Ivan cannot spare the time TO go
out to work, and his really exemplary
wife cannot do it all, though she does
hel best, because Of the small children
at home. AS for Ivan himself, he is in
the kabak, or drinking shop, and cannot
be expected to tear himself away for
any very prolonged peri q for all his
friends are there, and why should ne be
the exception?
If any money comes In by the sale
of hay, or oats, or milk, or anything
else, the monOpOlist who keeps the viii
lage drinking shop knows we'll enough
what becomes of it; so perhaps does
Ivan, but it is quite certain that poor,
patient, hardworking Masha, his wife,
and the small children see nothing of it.
They have their lump of black bread
for dinner, and perhaps particle of the
same is left over for supper, and that is
good enough for them. Ivan lives on
vodka chiefly and leaves most of the rye
bread for his family, but occasionally
he indulges in a wooden bowlful of
schee, which is kind of cabbage soup,
or toys with a trifie of salted herring
He is no great eater.-Chambers' Jour

Her Complexion.

Made up compilations are on the in
crease in New York. The fashionable
or would be fashionable New Yorker
who does not today make up little is
a rare bird. A dab Of rouge for evening
has never been considered criminal by
her, but she now uses it for daytime as
well. AS always happens when a habit
becomes more universal, much of the
present make up is very badly done
The few did it, as rule, artistically,
but the many lay it on with a heavy
hand. Without wishing 10 go into the
ethics of make up it is safe to say this
the fact that so much Of it is done
badly Is one reason why we object to
the increase.
One must always have . sneaking ap-
probation Of the story of the father who
when told that his daughter used rouge
called her to him and asked if it were
true
''It is" replied the girl.
'FOr heavens sake" " said the father,
''go straight up stairs and wash it off. -
The girl did so and returned to her
father, who gave one glance at her col
Orless cheeks.
For heavens sake, " he cried, ego
straight up stairs and put it on again. "

The Philadelphia Record tells this
story Of the late President William II.
Allen Of Girard college: On one Ccca-
sion a business matter called Mr.. Allen
to a small town in the central part of
the state. While sitting in the parIOr of
the country hotel in the evening after
transacting his business he was taken
i'll hand by the wife Of the proprietor,
who was extremely inquisitive and
wanted to know all about his private
affairs. Mr.. Allen took it all in good
part and for a time was rather amused.
Finally she asked, 'Have you got much
of a family?"
"Oh, yes" said he, anSd he smiled as
his mind reverted to his hundreds of
pupils.
"How many children" she persisted.
"Well, said Mr.. Allen, with great
earnesmess, Il have 500 and all bOysr'
The good old lady was speechless for
a moment. Then she arose and hurry
ing to the door called to her husband A:
"Oh, Johnl Come in here! We've got

Mend.lssohn and Liszt.

List appeared III his Hungarian cos
tune, wild and magnificent. He told
Mendelssohn that he had written some
thing special for him. He sat down,
and swaying right and left ON his mu-
sic stool played first a Hungarian mel
ody, and then three or four variations,
one more incredible than the other We
stood amazed, and after everybody had
paid his compliments TO the hero of the
day some Of Mendelssohn s friends gath
cred round him and said: "Ah, Felix,
now we can pack up. No one can do
that. 1t is over with Us. ="
Mendelssohn smiled, and when press.
ed TO play something in return he
laughed and said that he never played
now, and this TO certain extent was
true. He did not give much time to
practicing then, but worked chiefly at
composing and directing his concerts
However, Liszt would take no refusal,
and so at last little Mendelssohn, with
his own charming playfulness said,
well, I'll play, but you must promise
me not to be angry" And what did he
play?
He sat down and played first of all
Liszt's Hungarian melody, and then
one variation after another, so that no
one but List himself could have told
the difference. We all trembled lest
List should be offended, for Mendels-
sohn could not keep himself from slight
ly initiating LISTS movements and
raptures. However, MendelSsohn man
aged never to offend man, woman or
child. List laughed and applauded and
admitted that no one, not he himself,
could have performed such a bravura.

4 teetotal lecturer at West BrOmwich,
in order TO illustrate the horrors of
drinking, told his audience a 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
as he had heard it in his childhood.
Strange to say, it applied exactly to the
husband of lady who happened to be
one Of the audience. After the lecture
the lady waited ON the lecturer beEind
the hall.
'Wretchv" she said. "How dare you
hold my husband to public ridicule?"
"But, my dear madam
"Now dom t deny it, for heard you. "

Worked the Wrong WAY.

Mr.. DOoley, a Mobile ship carpenter,
relates an amusing incident connected
with the blockade of Mobile harbor dur
ing the civil var. Some ship carpenters
had been put 10 work by the govern
ment to manufacture floating mines and
had taken number of heavy pieces OF
square timber and placed them in the
form of a triangle, three pieces being
used 10 each. At the end of each of the
sticks-that is, Cn tie three pOints-was
placed a torpedo. y few days after this
the wind cam9 out strong from the north.
and the tOrpedOes We're taken and placed
in position in the bay so that they
would be driven by the wind against
the United States gGnboatS.
The plan was apparently 10 be sue.

wind suddenly changed, and the torpe-
does We're brought back and carried in
bunch to the bay opposite Frascati.
Here the torpedo mines Alet in an eddy,
and there was suddenly a great explo-
sion, followed by another, and vet an
other, completely tearing the RATS TO
pieces and producing at the same time
panic among the people resident on
the shore, who went to Mobile city and
reported that the enemy was lombard
