So injurious is life on torpedo boat
that years continuous service will
mentally and physically incapacitate o
man. This assertion is made on the
authority Of Lord Charles Beresford
but that the strain on any one serving
on these craft is very great is shown by
the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week off. Austria is endeavoring to
mitigate the hardship of service on
these boats. and life on one built for
the Austrian navy and tried on the
Thames recently was demonstrated &c

philosophy, when one is shiverlng with

that this is natures own method OF

a form of exercise in which the mus
cles instead of doing their ordinary
work under the control of the will are
made to execute involuntarily a series
Of slight but rapid contractions. This
has the same effect as any other kind
OF muscular work in making the fires

SIXTY EIGHTH DAY.

During the general debate on the
cundry civil appropriation bill in the
House Friday. Mr.. Dockery Dem,
MOI. congratulated the country upon
the statement made by Mr.. Cannon
yesterday Had It been made earlier.
he said, the country might have been
saved many millions of dollars. Mr.
Dockery produced figures to show that
there was already in sight deficiency
of $61. 100000 for the next fiscal year.
But this was exclusive Of the addition
al expenditure Of 80. 500 600 involved in
the naval personnel bill. the new ships
to be authorized in the naval approp-
ration bill, the Cuban claims, the sl1, -
100000 for public buildings. and the
enormous expenditures involved in The
Hanna-Payne subsidy bill and the bill
for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal should either of these latter
bills be passed.
Mr.. Dockery said circumstances
would probably nccessitate large in
creases in the cost If our military and
naval establishments, but he did be-
lieve there could be a great reduction
in Governmental expenditures.
MIR. Hepburn, chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, gave notice that he would offer
the $ll5,OOO,000 Nicaragua canal bill as
an amendment to the sundry civil bill.
He said he had decided to do this be-
cause of Mr.. Cannon's statement yes
terday that it could not be passed at
this session.
