JOHN c. HUBINGER,
We.tern Capitalist, Manufact-
o1cr and PhiIanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr. John c.. Hub5nger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia.,. reigns without a peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ. years of
age, can look: back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his iberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which, state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number Of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.

stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
Of dollars. But genuine ambition

ditions, works ever toward perfection,

and research Mr: Hubinger has made ?

width, but the longer it is the more

poses.
Charles E. Quimbly of New York has
just taken out patent for a method
Of preventing the fouling of ships bot
toms which would have been very USE
ful when our war vessels were on
blockade off the Cuban coast, acquiring
coating of barnacles and seaweeds.
It consists in enveloping the hull in a
sort OF case of canvas, which is drawn
tight by means Of ropes passing
through eye-holes. OF course, as the
inventor says, such a case can be made
to correspond accurately in size and
shape to the ship it is meant to fit. The
canvas, Furthermore, Is impregnated
with chemicals hostile to animal and
vegetable life. When the vessel is
ready to start on voyage the protec-

discovery, which he considers the
crowning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make it's merits known without de-
10c packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in IL
beautiful coiors, or Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-vews alone easily worth
$1.oo. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, Of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested
street railways, electric lighting plants
and the Mississippi Valley Telephone
Co., with 10000 telephone subscribers
in Minneapolis and St. Paul-nor will
his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keokuk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, he is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by busi-
ness or public cares.

New Bottle-Ship to Revolutionize Sea
Fi9htin9-For fiorbor Defense.

Whether or not the art of battleship
construction is destined to be revolu-
tionized by the newly patented inven-
ton Of William Weegar, of New York
city, remains to be found out, but his
idea is unQuestionably striking. He
proposes to uplift from the hull Of his
vessel, by means of towers, huge ar
mored chamber running from bow to
stern and holding battery of rapid
fire guns arranged In broadside.. Two
of the towers, one at each end, will be
coming towers, but the other two, OF
large size, will be surmounted by tur-
rets containing pairs OF 12-inch breech-
loading rifles. There will also be four
eight-inch rifles, forward and aft, so
that, with forty quick-fring guns in
all, the armament will be most formid
able.
Perhaps the most notable point about
this novel fighting craft is its invulner-
ability. It is practically shot-proof,
its construction being such that shell
striking any part of it must meet a
slant and so glide off. In order to ac-
complish this end, the armored cham
Der is made polygonal in section, while
the towers are cylindrical. The deck
is whaleback, It's upper part barely
rising above the sea, and all the ma
chinery and ammunition are below
water level, so as to be safe from in
Jury. Staircases and ammunition hoists
run up inside of the towers, and the
waves may wash freely across the body
of the ship without entering the gun
ports or interfering with the operation
of the fighting apparatus above.
Not less notable than the foregoing
is method newly invented by Gin
.cinnati, man, Andrew Van Bibber, for
rendering harbors impregnable against
attack by sea. It is guaranteed to ac-
complish the purpose with the use Of a
comparatively small force Of men and
without the aid OF warships, thus be-
ing equivalent to an increase Of the
navy, inasmuch as it relieves fleets to
"a great extent from duty OF defend,
ing the coast. OF this latter point the
Importance was illustrated in the re-
cent war with Spain, during which the
operations Of our maritime forces were
seriously hampered by the ever-present
necessity Of looking out for the protec-
ton Of the cities along the Atlantic
seaboad AS the inventor says: ''The
greatly Increased range Of naval guns
demands that defensive works be more
remote from the place defended than
formerly-else the defended city may
be ruined while the attack is being re-

ing from the narbor mouth seaward
two lines Of embankments built of con-
crete and so arranged as to form an
artificial entrance to the port. On
these embankments are placed bomb
proof forts, consisting substantially OF
revolving turrets containing high
power guns. The tops OF the e-embank-
ments are slightly below low-water
mark, but submarine chambers are pro-
vided for magazines and other uses.
The forts themselves, as a matter of
course, ought to be protected by armor
thick enough to be practically impen-
etrable by shell. From this brief de-
scription it will be understood that a
hostile warship approaching a city thus
defended could get into the harbor
only by passing through the artificial
channel referred to, and in doing so
it would be exposed to murderous at
