1t consists in enveloping the hull in
sort of case of canvas, which is drawn

Origin of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention OF the
elevator is made in letter of Napole-
on |, addressed to his wife, the Arch
duchess Marie Louisa. He writes to
her that when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" dying chair in that
castle, which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa 1t consisted
of a small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings of red silk,
suspended by strong ropes with count
er weights, so that it could be pulled
up or let down with great ease, in
shaft built for the purpose about 176O.

eight-inch rifles, forward and aft, so
that with forty quick-firing guns in
all, the armament will be most formid-
able
Perhaps the most notable point about

run I'D inside OF the towers, and the
waves may wash freely across the body
of the ship without entering the gun

of the fighting apparatus above.
Not less notable than the foregoing
is a method newly invented by Gin
cinnati, man, Andrew Van Bibber, for
rendering harbors impregnable against
attack by sea. 1t 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 1t relieves fleets TO
a great extent from the 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
seaboard. As the inventor says: 1.-The
greatly increased range of naval guns

two lines Of entertainments built OF con-
crete and SO arranged as to form an
artificial entrance to the port. On
these entertainments are placed bomb
proof forts, consisting substantially Of
revolving turrets containing high
power guns. The tops Of the embank-
ments are slightly below lowwater
mark, but submarine chambers are pro-
vided for magazines and other uses.
The forts themselves, as 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 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

Calve as q Gardener.

Singing in the opera and cultiyating
a farm are about as widely different
from each other as two occupations can
well be. Perhaps this is the very rea-
son why Mademoiselle Calve, the great
prima donna, retires eveery summer
to spend her vacation on farm among
the Cevennes, chain of mountains in
southern France. The famous singer,
says the Philadelphia Post, was very
i'll and nervous when she went to the
Cevennes, but this free, open air life
and vigorous exercise soon restored her
to the most robust health, and when
friends asked her the secret OF her
cure, she answers, Spades and pota-

tack at short range by the forts on the
thanking entertainments. Meanwhile,
another fort, situated at the landward
end of the entrance, would rake the
latter from end to end with storm Of
projectiles. Under such circumstances
it would be impossible for the enemys
vessels to maneuver freely, and being
confined to a narrow gut, they would
face almost certain destruction by
mines, while held at distance from
the city by guns much heavier than
their own and capable of smashing to
pieces their armor plates. The chan

toes" Last summer she went into her
kitchen garden and cared for her own
vegetables. No one was allowed to
touch them, and the results were far
better than when her gardener cared
for the things. Mademoiselle Calve
wore short skirt of blue jeans, sabots,
and linen shirtwaist. She spaded and
hoed and watered her vegetables day
after day, and proudly sent gifts of the
finest fruits of her labors to friends in
Paris.
