T0RPEDOES WITHOUT WIRES.
How the Deadly E~xplosaves Are 20 he
teered By Means OF
Blectric Waves.

Contemporaneous with tine sitting Of
the international peace conference
ONE the announcement of q new in
vention by which ~torpedoes are to be
rendered more deadly in modern war.
fare then heretofore.
The invention, due to Walter jamie
son and John Trotter, consists in util.
izing the ethereal" or "Hertzian'
waves, which are the basis of wireless
telegraphy, as a means of steering and
controlling torpedOes OF their deadly
missions.
The apparatus Is made in several
forms, which differ principally in the
means by which the current induced
by the waves il applied to the steering
mechanism. The best arrangement con-
sists of n coil Of iron wire, or "solenoid,"
that becomes magnetic on receiving the
ethereal waves. and is thus rendered
capable Of sucking into itself a magnet,
the motion of which brings about N
required change in the steering gear
Of the torpedo.
The latter is fitted with two rods.
which project above the water and
serve as ''receivers"-that is, means of
collecting the waves. Each of the rods
Is in connection with a coil OF the type
described, one on the right of the tor
pedo and n on the left, and, accord
ing as the right-hand or the left-hand
rod absorbs the waves, SO the torpedo
IL guided to the right or left.
The means adopted in using the sp-
paratus is as follows: Suppose hat the
torpedo is fred in the usual manner
and that its curse is seen to swerve
from its upper path. From the torpedo
boat electric waves are Immediately
dispatched by the processes used in
wireless tslegraphy in such q manner
that they only affect either the right
hand or left-hand coil controlling the
helm, which Is thus turned in any re-
quired direction, and the original
course of the torpedo reproduced.
When this 10 accomplished the cleo
trio waves are stopped and the helm
flies back to the midship position.
Large models Of the apparatus have
been experimental with. and II is said
that perfect success has been obtained
under all possible conditions. Since
h new method Of guiding ~torpedoes is
greatly superior to the old. which made
use of electric wires. II 10 evident that
the new invention will be an important
factor In future naval warfare.-Lon-

FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Mach Mental Suffering II Needless1y
Undergone ny Nervous
Persons.

The keen suffering which many un-
dergo Just in advance Of or during n
thunder storm is of a dual nature. The
sense of impending danger alarms and
terrifies but there is also q depression
Of spirits which is physical and real,
brought about by some as yet unknown
relation between the nervous system
and conditions of air pressure, humid
ity and purity. The suffering due to de-
preston and partial exhaustion re-
quircs, from those who are strong,
sympathy rather than ridicule. The
suffering due TO alarm and fright, how
ever, Is unnecessary. IL is largely the
work Of the imagination. To a nerv-
Gus nature there is something appall-
ing In the wicked, spiteful CLEAN OF the
lightning, and the crash and tumult of
thunder. But such "a one should re-
member that the flash is almost always
far distant, and hat thunder can do no
more damage than the low notes Of a
church organ. Counting all the deaths
from all the storms during a year, we
find that the chance Of being killed by
lightning IL less than one In a hundred
thousand. The risk in the city may be
said TO be five times less than in the
country. Dwellers in city houses may
be startled by peals Of thunder, but
owing to the great spread Of tin roofing
and fair ground connections, there 10
very little danger. In the country, IL
buildings are adequately protected, and
the momentum of the fash provided
for, the occupants may feel secure. A

ings. Barns, especially when lined
with green crops, should have good
lightning conductors. The question IL
often asked: do trees p%rotect?" The
answer Is that the degree of protection
will vary with the character of the tree
and its distance from u w~atercourse.
An oak 10 more liable to lightning
stroke than a beach. The character OF
the wood, the area Of LEAKAGE, the ex.
tent and depth of root, will determine
the liability to stroke. Another ques.
ton which is often asked Is whether

contrary, there are few safer places.
Sufficient metal with proper superficial

themselves in the line Of greatest

poles, or masts, in d%oorways. on
porches, close to fireplaces. or near
barns. Those who are not exposed in
any of these ways may feel reasonably
safe. 1t should be remembered, in the
event of accident, that lightning does
not always kill. 1t more often results
in suspended animation than i'm somatic
death. Therefore, in case of accident,
try to restore animation, keep the body
warm, and send for a physician without
delay.-Alexander McCabe, in Century.

DEFEY'S LETTERS

To tho New York Reception Commit
tce-SIakes Some Requests-Ho is
Thankful the Banquet has Been
Dropped.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27,-The executive
committee of the Dewey reception COM
mittee has received two letters from
Admiral Dewey. In the first, dated
Leshorn. August 1s, he says:
"I shall without fail reach the lower
bay on Friday, September 20, and shall
anchor there for the night to be ready
for the official arrival and naval par
ade on the following morning. Saturday,
the sOth. While I should be gratIhed
to meet any Of my friends in the navy,
and especially the commanding officers
Of the ships engaged at Manila May /,
1898, feel that this matter Of Invitation
should be left entirely with the COM
mlttee. I would suggest that at the
end Of the display OF fireworks of the
battery the Olympia should return 70
North river and anchor on Twenty
sixth street.
ut would be a qualification TO me and
the officers and men Of the Olympia
should the Olympia's battalion OF ABOUT
$50 men be placed at the head Of the
column. In reference TO the smoker II
IA proposed to give for the men, that Is
a mater that comes within the prov
lnce OF the captain Of the ship, hut
have little doubt that he would be
pleased to accept for them. am much
pleased for various reasons that you
have eliminated dinner from the pro-
gramme, and thank yourself and the
committee for the careful arrangements
made to spare me any unnecessary IA
tigue."
In the second letter, written from Ma
pies, August II. the admiral asks that a
good, large military band" be detailed
to lead the Olympia's battalion at the
head OF the land parade, the Olympia's
small band being hardly equal to the
occasion.
Admiral Dewey has been notified that
all his requests viii be carried out.

By the French Government,
RumorS That he had Fled to

THFECLAR TOBP PROSECUTED
For Publishing one of the Secret
Documents Of the Former
courtmartiaI.

RENNEs, August 2Z-Ths govern
ment has decided to prosecute the
Eclalr for the publication of the "ca-
naiile do D." document. one OF the
four documents secretly communicated
to the Dreyfus court martial of 1894.
and which has been shown not to refer
to Captain Dreyfus at all. The object
Of the government Is to discover who
communicated It to the Eclair. The
assumption Is that the communication
was made by Colonel Du Paty de Clam,
or possibly by General Gonss. The pub
llcation occurred three years ago, but
under the law, prosecution can be main
tanned at any time during tho follow
ing i've years.
This evening It Is rumored that the
government has also decided to arrest
General MercIer, but the rumor is not
confirmed.
Last evening report was in circula-
tion that General Mercier had fled to
the Island of Jersey. but this story is
proved to be without t0unuauon. larry
this morning the gendarmes were stlll
posted outside the residence of General
st. Germaln, military commander Of
the district, with whom General Mer-
cIer has been staying during the trial.
Their presence Indicated that be was
still there, and in reply to questions
they declared that they had not seen
him leave the grounds
This afternoon he was undoubtedly at
home, although he declined to receive
callers. No one who has studied his
character and methods believes that
General Mercler would fee at the pros
pect Of arrest. He has altogether too
much doggedness in his composition.

The reverend gentleman, without
making any direct reference 20 the
President, made It very evident that all
bodies, whether religious, social OF po-

whose hands must be upheld by mutual
cooperation.
Long before the hour announced for
the church service, the large edifice was
filled to overhowlng and thousands OF
persons had gathered In the vicinity TO
get glimpse OF tho President as he en-
tered the church.
In the afternoon the President and
Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Pitcairn took q drive through
