An Aerial Tornedo.

An air torpedo Of a construction
heretofore unknown has been patented
by a Swedish Major, Mr.. Unge, and
the inventor has just received a Gov
eminent subsidy for making expert
ments with the new torpedo. Consul
General Guenther has written to the
State Department about it as follows:
THE motion of this peculiar projec-
tile through the air, according to the
patent specifications, is caused eXclu-
sively by a force which is developed in
the torpedo, little by little, from igni-
ton Of a gas generated from slowly
burning material. The pressure Of the
gas gradually becoming stronger pro-
pels the torpedo through an arrange
ment by which the gas can escape at
the bottom. Once in motion, the tor
nedo therefore increases its speed in
the same degree as the gas pressure is
increased. The charge may consist Of
any explosive, provided the same is ig-
nlted only by shocks or blows. The in
ltial velocity need be but Slight, as the
torpedo is impelled by its own force.
Therefore, the discharge from the tor
pedo gun, constructed for the purpose,
occasions no report or recoil and but
little pressure, and consequently is not
in the least dangerous to those hand
ling the gun. At the trials made so far
the torpedoes Travelled distance Of
10000 feet"

A doll SHOEMAKER.
No Excuse Now For Broken Toes an'
Missing Arms.

AAAAhs
Owing to the maternal instinct in
the little girls heart, dolls play al
most as important a part In modern
industry as children themselves. In
a large department store in New York
City there is the usual dolls depart
ment. where artistic creations of any
and all sorts are displayed With
them are costumes, umbrellas, houses,
furniture, and every possible thing
required by a young married doll
wherewith to start housekeeping. But
this is not all. There is a doll shoe
maker and doll chiropodlst. The
former keeps a supply Of footwear
which viii astonish any adult Her
French boots and English walking
shoes. Chinese slippers, japanese SAN
dals, Turkish and Morocco bootines,
Indian moccasins, and knitted foot
mittens for winter are marvels of in
genuity and beauty, and are warrant
ed to satisfy the most fastidious doll
of the aristocraCy. M
The chiropodist is a skilled profes-
sional Dolls, especially wax ones,
have much trouble with their feet, and
more especially their toes. In play
ing, the latter are very apt to be trod
upon and converted into fiat disks.
Small boys. particularly those aged
one and a half, have a vicious propen-
sity for biting off a dolls toe and 9th

them China dolls are very difficult
patients. Wax dolls like the chirop-
odist, but china dolls have an inyinci-
BILE antipathy. towards him. Never
theless, the latter will cement broken
toes and restore the color to the feet
of owners who lead too energetic a
life. The chiropodist is a person OF
great tact, and receives her patients
with property dignity. Nothing is
more delightful than to hear a conver-
sation between her and some young
lady, aged five, whose dolly's feet are
out of order. The scene is a minia-

Trade in voillngs Amounts to Millions.

"a faint idea of the immense bust
ness that was done last year in the dry
goods district of our city" said a
wholesale dealer in veilings in New
York City recently, may be formed
when it is known that the trade in
veilings alone amounted to between
81, 100000 and $S,O00,000 No veilings
are manufactured in this country. 1t
is all imported, and fully fve-sixths Of
it comes from France, while the other
fraction is manufactured in Noting
ham, England, for the American mar
ket.
"The demand for veilings is lncreas'
ing every year in a far greater ratio
than is the population. Three times
more is sold now than ten years ago.
Fashion, of course, has much to do
with the demand. and at present the
material is used by women very ex-
tenslvely. Every lace establishment
carries veillngs, and they may also be
had in a number of dry goods stores,
but there are five or six houses in New
York City which sell that article and
nothing else. The prices range from
five cents to s5 per yard and more If
specially ordered. To the inexpe-
rlenced purchaser it would seem abb
surd to see the small parcel of veilings
in the hlgh-priced lots that are worth
$1,000. 1t would not be difficult to
stow such a package away In ones
overcoat pocket. The duty on imports
is twenty per cent."-Washington Star,

An Old indian Camping Ground.

The Philadelphia Record says the
little island lying in the Delaware mid
way between Bristol and Burlington,
which is to be turned into a place Of
public amusement, was in olden days
favorite camping ground for the In
dians of the Delaware tribe, and the
young bucks used to settle their differ
ences there according to the code. 1t
had quite the reputation of having
been a duelling ground. Many arrow
heads and even battle axes shaped Of
stone have been found on the Island
by relic hunters, and occasionally HUI
man skulls have been unearthed. Sew
eral rusty cannon balls have also been
brought to light.

cows In the streets Of Munich.


About one-half the draught animals
In Munich are COWS. 1t is one of the
connecting links with the old life,
when all were COWS. These interesting
and sedate animals have n fondness
for lying in the streets, chewing their
cuds when not engaged in the hauling
business, which is a constant source
Of annoyance, because it disturbs
traffic. Electric cars are new to Mu-
n,ch, and the inhabitants are very
proud of them and of Munich's rise to
the position Of a great capital OF the
world, as they delight to call her.
Hence interference with traffic is the
objectionable sin. 1t Is one of the
city's most interesting sights to see
mobs of vocferous men getting cows
OF the track. Only then does one un-
derstand the possibilities of the Ger
man tongue. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve the horses also. They eat slices
of black rye bread for luncheon, and
are usually hitcned to one side Of r
single wagon pole when in harness. If
there be shafts, they also are lopsided,
'wayback country fashion, even If the
vehicle be a carriage.-New York Sun.

The vote Is as follows: Ayes, B. 196; nays. 2,573 The element which op- posed the new organic law of the church because 1t provided for the admission of women as delegates to the general con ference, made war on the new consti- tuition all along the line out met with defeat One hundred and twenty-one an- nual conferences voted on the question: total of 107S9 ballots being cast by dele gates. The principal change provided for by the new constitution are:
 It gives women the right to sit as dele gates in the general conference. It gives laymen electorical meetings authority to vote on constitutional questions.
 It changes the vote necessary in the general conference to amend the con stitution from three-fourths to two- thirds.

OFFICER TO BE

THEY WERE THROWN oVER- BOARD TO LIGHTEN TRANS PORT WHICH WENT AGROUND EN ROUTE TO PHILIPPINES.

Washington, December 26.-In reference to a claim to the Treasury Department Secretary Root of the War Department has rendered the following decision:
 "The insurrection of natives in the Philippines against the sovereignty of the United States and authority of the government of the Philippine islands Is of such character and extent as requires the United States to prosecute it's rights by military force and therefore create the end of the war in said archipelago.
 The claim in question Is that of First Lieutenant W. Horton Sickle, Corps of Engineers, for s235. 34 for certain books lost en route from West Point, N. Y., to Manila, P. l.. under shipment by the Quartermaster's Department. The books were the personal property of Lieutenant Sickle, and it appears they were includ- ed in a large portion of the cargo of the transport Centennial which was thrown overheard in order to tighten that vessel when it ran aground off the coast of northern Luzon, P. I.
 Secretary Root has recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury that Lieu tenant Stickes claim be included in the recommendations to Congress respecting the general deficiency bill.
