LAUNCHED WITH RED TAPE.
Some Expensive Experiences Chrlsten'
ing British War Ships.

Ship launches in Great Britain
are bound up with red tape. Two or
three months beforehand the superin-
tendent has to apply for authority to
launch on day to be named in the
application. When large ship is to
be launched he is to be guided by mus
ty instructions, over forty-one years
old, as to the erection of booths for
visitors, the appropriation of tickets,
and admission OF the public. Accord
ing to the dockyard regulations this
expense in the case Of any CHE ship is
not to exceed 5000. When her majesty
launched the Centaur. which was to
be renamed Duke of Connaught, but
was finally sent into the water as the
Royal Arthur, she also named the
Royal Sovereign, which was fcated out
of dock. The bill of construction for
the accommodation of 5000 persons
came to $3.50 Other incidental ex-
penses made the bill $4,000, as agains:
the 5000 allowance. When the duchess
of York launched the Prince George at
Portsmouth in August, 1895, the ad-
miralty startled the treasury by re-
questing $500 for expenses. The
treasuryites got their backs up and
said that these functions had reached
such a point Of extravaganza that they
could 90 no further.

l TORPEDO BOAT TRAGEDY
A Sad Illustration Of the Danger of
This Service.

A Sad Illustration of the Danger of
This Service.
The Union squadron investing
Charleston during the civil war was
drawing closer and closer to the DOOM
ed place. One of the warships that lay
closest inshore was the Housatonic,
and that vessel was selected as the
torpedo boats victim. The Portland
Transcript tells the tragic story: The
evening of Feb. H. 1865, closed in raw
and foggy. At 8 o'clock Capt. Corison
gave the command and the boat drop
ped down the river. AS the clocks
were striking the half hour in the city
the little craft pulled over the bar.
Noiselessly she glided through the
water, guided by the lights on the
Housatonic, for which she headed. So
heavy was the fog that she escaped
the notice of the sentries. At quar-
ter to nine she lay directly in front
of the Housatonic, at distance OF five
hundred yards. She was running faster
now. and little farther on she began
to submerge. Two hundred yards more
and she disappeared. Five minutes
later there was a dull roar and the
water around the Housatonic boiled
like a caldron. The noble ship gave
a mighty upward heave and then be-
gan to settle. Ensign Hazleton and
four sailors who were below persisted,
but fortunately for the rest of the crew
the water was shallow and they saved
themselves by climbing into the rig
ging. The vessel was total loss, but
the submarine torpedo boat was no.
where to be found. Two years after
the war, when the wreckage was being
removed from Charleston harbor. the
Housatonic was raised. In her hull
there was a CHASTITY wound, inflicted
by the torpedo, and in that hole was
the torpedo boat with every man on
board still at his post where he had
died years before. The little boat had
torn a big hole in the cruiser, through
which the water had poured in such a
volume that the torpedo boat was
drawn into it. And there it's crew died
of suffocation, in the grasp of the en-
envy which they had destroyed.

"Oh dear, MOI" laughs Ruby, with

how to dress them-how should she,

in rather a dubious tone-in fact a
tone open to conviction. GAS long as
they are warm and comfortable, the
cut isn't of much Importance.

ly-"I will make clothes for each OF
them as a pattern. Now please don't
protest-it will only be like the fun
of dressing dolls to me-"
OF course Mr.. Champley does pro-
test, but, as usual, he protests in vain;
and when he takes his departure from
the Wilderness that evening he finds
himself weighed down by one more
obligation to Ruby Widen. AS fol
Ruby, she is in great spirits-the only
thing which troubles her in the matter
is her total incapacity either to cut out

Eccentric Tides.

Owing to the effects of shore-lines
and other influences which are more
or less obscure, it is very difficult tC
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts of the
world. Interfering waves cause once
aday tides at Tahiti, and in some
other places, while on the other hand
in the harbors back of the Isle OF
Wight, and in the Tay in Scotland
there are three tides in a day. The
latter have recently been ascribed to
"oyertides," produced by the modifica-
ton of tidal waves running ashore,
and resembling the "overtones" Of
musical sounds.

Keith ran out and caught him and
said: ''If you can't work and want to
