STUDYING THE TORPEDo's
HABITS.

If the torpedos performance is salts
factory, it goes next to the govern
ment's torpedo station at Newport, r.
I. There it is tested again in several
practice runs, and its record on each
run is carefully preserved and attached
to it. A torpedo is like living person
it has its little habits and peculiari
ties. and as far as possible, these are
found out beforehand. so that when II
comes to be fired the men in charge
may make allowance for all its lido
syncrasies.
The torpedo remains at Newport I'M
til it is needed. When a call for its SER
vices is received the practice head is
removed. In it's place is put the deadly
war head" carrying 200 pounds of
guncotton, carefully guarded against
premature explosion, but primed to
scatter an enemy in atoms. Thence it
is taken on board the warship ready
for its final journey-the completed
thunderbolt ready to be launched-the
mightiest and most perfect engine of
destruction ever devised by the inge-
nuity of man.

pedo tubes, and here the torpedo makes
it's first trip in the water A course is
laid out LOCO yards in length, and the
torpedo is sent over this course many
times under conditions as varied as pos
sible, and is tried in every possible way.
After each trial some slight adjustment
is made until the thing is in as perfect
working order as it can attain. Then,
in the presence of naval officers, it is
fired five times in succession from the
tube, each time with an identical
charge, and its performance on each
trip is carefully noted by means of ac-
curate instruments. These records are
taken by a mechanism placed inside the
hollow practice head which sets down
the speed, horizontal and vertical vi
bration, and other useful data relating
to the projectile. AS fast as these rec
ords are made they are transferred 10
the notebooks of the officers for future
reference.

Occupy Cuba.

Reports from Washington and actual movements of ships and troops give fresh encouragement to the hope of an early invasion of Cuba.
 Irritation will continue to vex the nation until it hears of the landing of troops on the island. The public mind admits that there may be good reasons for previous delay, but DeWey's rapid success has kindled a belief that bold action would De as productive of results in Cuba.
 Spanish threats of practical war fare on American commerce should quickly determine the course of the authorities at Washington.
 An army of invasion with the seasoned insurgent forces for the occupation of Havana, which seems to be Blanco's sole base of supplies, doubtless could succeed without the destruction of life and property which a naval bombardment would cause. However, that is question which could be easily determined by reeonnoitering on the part of the land forces. If it were found i'm. practical, Sam pson's guns could be employed to reduce the Notifications of the sea front, while the combined army was overcoming Blanco on the laud side of the city.
 This done, the national purpose will be attained so far as the banish- ment of Spain from the Wes tern Hemisphere as a governing force is concerned The rest of the work is mere detail.

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
 Last November MT. Joseph James, painter, of BPS W. Pearl St., Indianapo- lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick consumption. Wasted to a skeleton; his lungs mass of alteration; his death was hourly awaited by his doctor and family. He was kept in a constant stupor with opium. A friend, thinking to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing it's wonderful effect, the doctor advised its continued use. MT. James soon after dismissed his doctor, and depended on the Balm alone. His recovery was rapid and complete, and in February he returned to work. His lungs are sound, and his weight greater than at any time itl his life. His recovery is regarded as almost a miracle.

CLOSING EXERCISES
Of the Richard Allen Institute Last
 Night.

Richard Allen Institute, well known as Johnston's school, held the closing exercises last night at St. Johns A. M. burch-the most eommodious structure for coIored people in the city. The night was dark and the rain came down in tor ents, yet the house was packed from front to rear and standing room was at premium. Those who faced the storm felt amply rewarded. The exercises were very good from start to finish, every thing, and the class sustained the reputation of this famous school and added a few laurels to it's crown. Space will scarce permit to give deserved special mention to Miss Eliza Wall, Will Jones and Miss Hattie Young, who compose the class of '98.
 The instrumental music took the house by storm, as did the singing of Lewis Johnston Jr., but the climax of song was Miss Hattie Young-she was called a second time.
 Every lip has word of praise for the school, the class, the music and especially the rare singing.
