The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1901-12-05

Richard Mansfield has been at his old
tricks again and has been accusing the
theatre patrons Of Washington. along with
those of Baltimore, of being cold and un-
responsive.
On the last night OF his Baltimore en-
gagement the actor came before the cur
tain in esponse TO the continued cries
fer a speech and said:
This city dreaming Baitimcrel and
Washington are cold and unappreciatiTe.
New York is almost as bad The two
cities ia which ii is really a pleasure to
play are Chicago and Boston In these
cities the audiences are really enthusi-
astic'
The Mansfield accusation Of unrespon-
siveness was doubtless occasioned by the
fact that IN both Washington and BaIti-
more he encountered "Florodora" in an
opposition theGtTe. And IL is said that in
Baltimore anyway. the receipts Of the mu-
steal Fisce considerably exceeded those

A Painter of Fame.

In these days Of very personal jour
nalism, Rudolf Lehman, who attained
the age of 81 on Aug. 10, can not be
said to be very well known to the man
in the street. Yet the veteran is the
most illustrious portrait painter liv,
ing, and the number of distinguished
people who have sat to him is simply
amazing. For example, there is the
Prince of Wales. who smoked a great
deal while undergoing the ordeal; an6
other sitters have been Mr.. Gladstone

TX, Lord Tennyson, Cardinal Man.

Warwick, who was then 2 years old.

Englisf, Milk Laws.

The English pure-food authorities
are dealing strictly with offenders
against the milk laws. Mark Lane
Express mentions two recent cases
In one the charge was that part of the
cream had been removed and the milk
sold as whole. The defendant denied
that it was either skinned or watered
but was fined $40. In the other case
the use of boracic acid was charged
against several persons, and fines
ranging from SIS to $50 were imposed.
One of the witnesses, Prof. Boyce OF
University College, said that this sub
stance was highly Injurious no matter
how small quantity was used. He
had experimental with kittens, and
found that even minute quantity OF
boracic acid in the milk consumed by
them was harmful

Wife of Chinese Minis ter,

Nine WI. wife Of the Chinese min
lister, is Of a lively temperament and
quick to respond to either humor or
sentiment. She has become warmly
attached to several American women.
The Chinese minister is an accom-
plished linguist, but his wife is not so
clever in this respect She speaks
just little English, enough to meet
the ordinary exigencies of formal re-
ceptions. Her accent is considered
charming. and she hopes in another
year. to have added considerably to her
English vocabulary. She can carry on
a more sustained conversation in
French than in English. In her own
tongue she is a fluent conversational
list, and keeps herself well informed
on all the topics of the times.

Myriads of Green Flies.

The naphtha launch of L. A. Scott
Of Philadelphia came suddenly to a
stop recently in a swarm of myriads
of green flies along the lower Jersey
coast. The engine refused to run.
The force was turned off and an in
yestigation instituted forthwith, which
resulted in the finding of about two
gallons of '.green headers" tightly
packed into one of the air chambers
which fed the fume with oxygen. The
flies; had been drawn in by the sue
ton until they were as solidly packed
as powder and shot in a gun barrel.
1t required an hour of patient work to
remove the mass of dead flies from
the hot cylinder and get the boat in
working order again. .

Searching for a Dinosaur.

Bones of a huge dinosaur will
shortly adorn the archaeological de-
partment of the Field museum, if the
explorations of Assistant Curator e. S.,
Riggs are successful. Last summer,
while on an expedition in Wyoming Mr..
Riggs discovered the hind leg, the tail
and several vertabrae of a gigantic
dinosaur Of the Jurassic period. These
specimens were sent to the museum
and are now mounted in glass cases.
Two months ago the party went back
to search for the remainder of the skel-
eton. The dinosaur is an extinct ami
NAL of the lizard order. Many speci-
mems have been found in America,
some of them measuring eighty feet
in length. Chicago Record.

Mr. West, young man from Michi-
gan, who is a travelling salesman for
the Armour Beef Company Of Chicago,
representing the Boston division, was
IN New Britain this week and in pass
ing along the street with a customer
they had occasion to cross the tracks
of the third-rail cars, says the South
/ Manchester 131,l' = News, + The young man
and his friend were engaged in earn
est conversation at the moment, and
the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew of the danger that
turks in he third rail, did not sound a
note of warning until the young man
placed one foot, on the third rail,
when, realizing instantly what had
occurred, he shouted to the drummer
to beware. Without knowing to what
the shout referred and thinking that
it must have alluded to an approach
ing car or train, although he could
see neither, the westerner hurried to
step across the tracks and in doing
SO placed his foot on another of the
rails, thus completing the circuit. He
stepped quickly over unframed,
whereas his companion expected to
see him a corpse, as about $4,000 volts

sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of a third-rail
train, before, did not know what all

began to run cold and he said that
he never experienced such strange
sensation as came over him at that
moment. He also stated that he did
not feel the slightest electrical shoc..
while on he tracks. The explanation
of his almost miraculous escape was
in the fact that he had pair of cork

the most valuable pair of shoes he
ever owned, or hopes. to own, and no
doubt will keep them as an heirloom
in his family and pass them down to
his posterity. On investigation it was
found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the live
rail. The young man says that there
are no third-rail cars Or trains in the
west and that, therefore, while he had
read Of such things in the newspapers
the fact had never made serious i'm
preston on his mind before. He is
not apt to forget this experience, how

here recently and gave the facts sub

SUBMARINE FIGHTER.
Mysterious Torpedo Boat In Course OF
Construction at stamford.

Construction at stamford.
For nineteen months submarine
torpedo boat has been in process OF.
construction at Ware Island, off Siam
ford, Conn. Great secrecy has been
maintained by the builder and COM
paratively little is known of the plan
Of the boat or what she is expected
to accomplish. To a casual observer
the boat looks like a great cigar paint
ed bottle green. It's length is given as
fifty feet over all. The bow is sharp,
the stern rounded. The boat is fitted
with heavy ram made of maple and
tapers from six inches to perhaps
twenty-five in diameter. It is four feet
six inches long and fitted on the end
is steel plug which tapers to a point
The she'll Of the boat is of yellow
pine, bound with iron hoops, covered
with coatings of ship felt and pitch
Galvanized iron covers the coatings
Of pitch and felt On the top Of the
craft is deck conforming to the shape
OF the boat. There is also a coming
tower, with two torpedo loops The
machinery is connected with the con-
ming tower. Electricity is the motive
power: used. It IS said that three men
will compose the crew. The torpedo
loops are made water tight by a prep
aration of rubber and copper A rub
Der cap also screws down over the top
Of the tower outside and encircling the
6pal- ora cn,yara1 ovho,,o4
craft will be propelled by water taken
in through openings, one on each side,
about four feet from the stern of the
craft and well down toward the princi-
pal keel. These openings are connect
ed with pumps which are operated by
two engines Of 1000 horse power each.
From the pumps run four seven-inch
copper pipes, two in each side Of the
boat. The water forced through these
pipes passes out through two openings
in the blunt stern of the boat and,
coming in contact with the body OF
water in which the boat rests, forces
it ahead. It is not calculated that
very great speed will be attained. TIC
the stern is fitted a cap of iron bo1ted
with wood to make it tight. This cap
is connected with lever on the inside
of the boat and when it is desired to-
back the vessel the cap is placed
partly over the vents in the stern
This gives the water emerging through
the opening a backward movement and
causes the boat to go back. There are
two dynamos, which are operated by
the two engines mentioned. Kerosene
is used as fuel. There are fourteen
tanks in the bottom of the boat, capa-
Bile of holding ffty-fve barrels of oil
This 2,700 gallons of kerosene also an
sWers the purpose Of balance. When
a tank has been exhausted provision
is made to take in sea water to refill it
The interior of the boat is divided into
three sections. In the rear is the en-.
gine-room, in the center are the lock-
ers and apartments for the crew and
in the bow is a store-room. The in
terror is braced by an octagonal frame
Of wood and iron The craft will be
lighted throughout by electricity. Sc
far as can be learned there is no pro-
vision made for leaving the boat when
it Is under water.
