Yesterdays New York World says
that the Vanderbilts having obtained
control of the Delaware, Laclzawanna
and Western railroad and thus COM
PEELED it to work in harmony with the
other coal carrying roads as to prices
and eliminated it from being a disturb
Ing element in the coal situation, pro-
| ceeds to say:
The increase of twenty-five cents a
ton which went into effect on July l will
add $10,000000 annually to the gross
revenue of the anthracite coalers, and
1t is said will add about per cent. to
the net earnings of the LackaWanna
system.
Before the Lackawanna stockholders
Will begin to reap the benefits of these
added revenues, however, they will
probably be confronted with a propo
sitlon from the New York Central to
lease the system for 999 years on the
same terms as those vouchsafed the
stockholders of the Boston and Albany
system, which were assumption of all
charges and obligations and a guaran-
teed return of per cent. yearly on the
stock. LackaWanna like Boston and
Albany has a fine record as dividend
Garner, and the Messrs. Vanderbilt are
wise enough to know that under their
system of economies and of developing
a railroads earning capacity it will
yield them a fat surplus yearly above
the 8 per cent rental, in spite of the
fact that it has only been paying Z per
cent. since 1885.
The plans of the Vanderbilts for the
development Of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad are by no
means, however, confined to the placing
of it's coal trade on a paying basis They
contemplate its expansion as a trunk
line to the west, for which it has great
possibilities. 1t is one of the most pic
turesque routes through the Pennsyl-
vania mountains, its roadbed is in
splendid shape, and it is by thirty miles
the shortest line between New York
city and Buffalo. At that point how
ever, it has until the present time had
no outlet to the great west. though it
has had very Instantaneous ar

which its passengers were carried
through various processes of torture
and dumped unceremoniously into the
Windy City. The privilege of sleeping
cars, dining cars, or even the right of
way over cattle trains, has been denied
them.
Under the Vanderbilt management,
however, all this is to be changed. The
Vanderbilt officials of the Nickel Plate
have within the last week been ordered
to consult with the Vanderbilt officials
of the Lackawanna and fix up between
them fine through passenger service
between New York and Chicago. Up to
this time the Pennsylvania railroad has
been the shortest line to Chicago. 1t

he Deadly Weapons steered from

| The Deadly Weapons Steered from
Shore with NO Material Connection.
Contemporaneous with the sitting OF
the international Peace Conference
comes the announcement OF new IN
vention by which torpedoes are to be
rendered more deadly in modern war
fare than heretofore.
The invention, due to Messrs. Walter
Jamieson and John Trotter, consists in
utilizing the ethereal or "Herzlan
waves, which are the basis of wireless
biography, as a means of steering and
controlling torpedoes on their deadly
missions.
The apparatus is made in various
forms, which differ principally in the
means by which the current induced by
the waves is applied to the steering
mechanism The best arrangement con-
ssts of coil of iron wire or "solenold
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 any
required change in the steering gear of
the torpedo.
The latter is fitted with two rods,
which project above the water and
serve as ''recejvers''-that is, means of
collecting the waves. Each Of the rods
is in connection with coll of the type
described, one on the right Of the tor
pedo and one on the left and, according
ae the risht-hand or the left-hand rod
absorbes the waves, so the torpedo is
guided to the right or left.
The means adopted in using the APP
paratus is as follows: Suppose that the
torpedo is fired In the usual manner and
that its course is seen to sWerve from
it's proper path From the torpedo boat
electric waves are Immediately dis
patched by the processes used in wire
less telegraphy, in such a manner than
they only effect either the right hand
or left hand coil controlling the helm,
which is thus turned in any required di-
rection, and the original course of the
torpedo reproduced.
When this is accomplished the electric
waves are stopped and the helm flies
back to the midship position.
Large models of the apparatus have
been experimental with, and it is said
perfect success has been obtained under
all possible conditions Since the new
method of guiding torpedoes is greatly
superior to the old, which made use Of
electric wires it is evident that the
new invention will be an important fac
tor in future naval warfare.--London

SUNDAY IN THE MIDDLE AGES.


The Lords day was a day of rest and
ioy and thanksgiving, and the works
and the attitude of penance at such a
time were conceived as kind of slight
upon the church at large, The same
strong feeling during the middle ages
manifested itself in the encouragement
of evey form of innocent amusement
and recreation Provision was made
first of all for duties of praise and
Thanksgiving, and especially for the SUI
preme act of worship offered in the holy
sacrifice of the mass, but, this being Sc
cured, there was no idea Of interfering
with the rational enjoyment of the peo-
pie.
The curious thing is that this concep-
zion of Sunday as a day both OF rest
and amusement was by no means ADAM
doned at the change of religion. John
Knox found Calvin at Geneva doing
honor to the Lords day in game OF
bowls. Eliza beth and her successor nab
it,aIly assisted at dramatic representa-
tions on Sunday, and the chief objection

puritans as Macauley has long ago told

Int that it gave pleasure to the specta-

4he early years of the seventeenth CEN
tnrv the bear batting took place almost
invariably on that day. In Wales ana
IN the remoter parts of the kingdom,
