The demands upon the officers and men
of the torpedo boat destroyer are enormous.
Comfort as it is understood in a big shin
is quite unknown. Even in what is known
as moderate weather cooking is almost an
impossibility. though this is less to be
regretted, for the dura lila of the most in
ured seafarer often give way and he feels
a certain distaste for food when, besides
the extremely lively motion given by the
waves, the whole structure vibrates and
trembles under the strokes of the engines
and the kick of the propellers. The duties
which torpedo boat destroyers would be
called upon to undertake in war time are
desperate in their risks.
The little ships are the enfants perdus
of the fleet. Even if they can carry their
dread assault to a successful issue, il will
only be by the greatest chance that they
themselves escape destruction. The torpe-
do boat destroyer officers look coolIy upon
death as their more than probable fate in
action, but each thinks that everything
himself, his ship and crew-will be well
lost II he can only plant one deadly stroke
which sends a battleship to the bottom. 1t

A Novel School Experiment..
M Tn, philndnlIihia Recnrd


A novel experiment in education is being
tried at the HollingSworth public school,
and has met with much success. 1t is an
attempt to instill in the youthful mind the
duties of citizenship as embodied in munic-
ipal government. The school is in reality
a miniature municipality, the boys filling
all the offices from mayor down to police
men. The mayor and his appointees serve
one term, and the policemen serve two
weeks at time. There are also juvenile
councilmen. presided over by president,
and ordinances are enacted much as they
are in the larger council chambers up in
the city hall. and just as much decorum is
maintained during the sessions. One of the
ordinances passed last term reads: No
yelling fire, playing or sitting on the fire
escapes or in the side yard. No squirting
Of water or throwing snowballs. No sling
shots" Another ordinance says: "Cleanli-
ness is to be observed when in the yard
and in the school room. Citizens must be
clean" There are gail and a police court.
where justice is dispensed by Juvenile
magistrate, and one of the ordinances pro-
vtdes that mo, boy will be allowed to look
in the Jail windDws.ai he is seen doing so
he will be arrested2 by the police" Alto.
gether there is! every incentive for the
youngsters to become conversant with the
duties of citizenship.

From the London News. ~
A strange and diuerting scene was wit
messed recently In Trafalgar Square, which
caused the greatest amusement to a crowd
numbering SEVERAL Hundreds, and led to the
arrest of the principal actor. A Covent
Garden porter of remarkably rotund APP
pearance, jumped into the water surround
ing the eastern fountain, and began to give
an exhibition 81 comic swimming, to the
great amusement Of the onlookers, who
rapidly increased in number, but to the m
dgnati ton of the policeman on duty at the
spot The officer informed the man that he
must at once come out. whereupon the
swimmer turned on his back, and while
floating put his thumb unto his nose and
spread his fingers out" The crowd roared
with delight, but the policeman, who was
now reinforced by three of his collea CUES,
was very angry. On being again COM
manded to leave the water the man, still
floating, answered. Mot me. Gen. White
is still in Ladysmith, notwithstanding old
Kru4er, and here shall stop, say what
YOU like" As swords were Of no avail, one
of the corstables took off his tunic and en-
tered the water, but he slipped and fell fun
length. The swimmer then surrendered at
discretion, and, accompanied by the equally
dripping policeman, was taken to the Old
