Injurious Fungi.

Those who have made q study Of the
lower orders Of the vegetable kingdom
tell us that Of the large group Of mush.
rooms, which includes a multitude OF
species, only a few are poisonous. Tn
fortunately, igOrance of this class of
vegetables Is so profound that few are
able to distinguish one species from an.
other, and hence We make use of the
one species with which we are SO fa.
miliar, and in some cases with the com.
mon pun ball. The fact remains, how.
ever, that very large majority are
beneficial to mankind.
This is true also of the more minute
classes Of the vegetable kingdom known
as bacteria. There seems to be no end
to the number Of species which those
who make study Of them are con.
stantly discovering and naming; and
yet 1t is as true of this class as among
the mushrooms that only a very small
percentage are injurious, while a vast
majority are beneficial to mankind. II
IL amusing, II the results were not 81
serious, to read the accounts In daily
papers and magazines, which should
know better, as to the awful light in
which we should look at these minute
organisms. The very name bacterium
is used to fr.ghten people into all sort.
of expensive and useless measures. Tc
read-as we all do almost daily-of the
evil doings Of bacteria, one may feel .
surprise that there is n living being on
the earth.-Meehan's Monthly.

Borrower
Men have something to learn from
women In the art Of wardingo6 ''touch-
es'' for coin. Women respond to such
requests about once In every thousand
cases, but they are scientific In their
refusals. A Washington woman with
a reputation as q borrower turned up
at the home Of one of her friends the
other morning with q much done-over
story about persistent and threatening
dressmakers, and the usual request for
the loan-"pay It back tomorrow. GER

"Why, my dear. certainly" was the
pleasant response to her carefully re-
hearsed little yarn. You poor thing.
you! Just wait TIN I run upstairs and
get my purse"
She ran upstairs. The male head OF
the house happened to be in the room
where she kept her purse. He saw her
dig the purse out Of chin0nier drawer
and deliberately remove . wad OF bills
from It, leaving about 81 cents in silver
and copper in the change receptacle.
The man was mean enough to lean over
the stair railing when his wife went
downstairs to the parlor with her nat
tened pocketbook in her hand.
"Oh, I'm 20 sorry, Mrs. X" he heard
her say, but really thought had the
money. l find. though, that John. as
usual, has been at my purse-I heard
him say something about settling a
plumbers bill last night when l was
half asleep-and the mean thing has
only left me enough for car fare. Too
bad! OF course. you know II had II,

YOUNG MRS. MAYNARD.

CO HE late Joshua Maynard was
good enough to accumulate a
- considerable fortune and con-
siderate enough to leave the bulk
of 1t to his widow. The esl
tate was not in the least tn1
volved, and all the various charities and
educational institutions benefited un-
der the will were settled with long be-
fore the expiration of the year allowed
by law for such business. Attention to
these details did much to occupy Mrs.
Maynard's mind during the first months
Of her widowhood. AS she was young,
she had often passed for her husbands s
daughter, her mourning was not over
poignant Of long-endurlng. There was
an extended journey abroad. and then
she settled in her New York City house
to enjoy life in her own way.
This consisted In entertaining friends
Of her own choosing. among whom she
became social leader. but she never
aspired to lead in high society, and lived
quietly, considering the extent of her
fortune. Having a dread of money
hunters, she skillfully spread abroad
the report that she was determined
never to marry again.
Among her friends was one Lewis
Baxter. Of whom she became quite

ed with the postofilce department of

Americans have made in the Cuban

on Maj. Rathbone. the director general
Of 0utp0sts in Cuba. He found the aer..

believes, however, that the Cuban.

the examples Of tireless energy, indus

NOVEL FRENCH TORPEDO.
Anchored and Operated from Shore b.
Mechanical TOwaRe.

| Anchored and Operated from Shore by
Mechanical TOwa4e.
The new towing torpedo, the Lege,
the recent invention Of a Frenchman,
Is an extremely fishlike weapon.
Though 1t can be used much in the
same way as the old Harvey torpedo,
with which some of our ships were
equipped before the advent Of the
Whitehead, by being towed at an angle
under an enemy's ship provided she
allowed the operator to come near
enough to do sol, its principal frnction
is the defense of ports and harbors. 1t
differs from the Brennan, which TO all
intents and purposes is an automobile
weapon. but at the same time it Is much
simpler, and probably much less expen-
slve, though special arrangements have
to be made for its use. An endless
chain is stretched round four horizontal
wheels and pulleys so as to cover the
portion to be guarded, and is set in moi
ton by means Of q second chain, driven
by an engine on shore. To the first.
mentioned chain a series Of Lege tor
pedOes are attached at intervals and
the idea is that as the chain moves
round on its rollers the channel is con-
stantly patrolled, as 1t were, by two
lines of travelling mines moving in Op-
pOsite directions, SO that 1t would be
practically impossible for q ship to pass
through this guarded zone unscathed.
Immediately the chain is stopped the,
torpedoes become harmless, for on the.
strain being taken off the towing lever,
it automatically folds back against the
head, and in so doing moves a safety
catch into such a position as to prevent
the striker in the point Of the torpedo
moving. In this position 1t may be
struck or handled with impunity, but
it Is claimed that the moment 1t is
once more a deadly peril to any ship
that may Craze 1t.
The Lege torpedo Is constructed of
Delta metal, which, while being as
strong as steel, Is not liable to rust and
corrosion from immersion in water.
The charge is Of cylindrical shape. and
Is easily inserted and removed from the
head of the torpedo, so that the appar
atus can be stored with perfect safety
ready to hand, while the charges are
placed out Of harms way in a maga-
zine Other advantages claimed for 1t
are those Of automatically adjusting
itself to the depth required, and, on en-
countering the defensive nets OF an
ironclad, Of assuming a certical posi-
ton, diving beneath them, and striking
the hull with its point as soon as it is
clear. The great point in favor of the
new weapon would appear to be its
but, on the other hand, ii
does not seem impossible for an enemy
to SO damage or destroy the endless
chain as to stop its motion. when the
whole set Of torpedoes would at once
become innOcuous. Nor, for that mat
ter, does it seem very improbable that
Its working might be affected by the
explosion Of one Of its own torpedoes.-
