His After Dinner Speech.

There is no field of mental effort in
which success in its most flattering
form may be won quicker than on the
after dinner platform. The man who
can amuse and instruct such an audi
ence, for instance, as that which as
sembles each year at the New England
society dinner, perhaps the most crit
ical In New York, may awake to find
himself famous. A few hours before
Henry w. Grady of Atlanta was to
speak at the New England society 8
dinner in 1886 a correspondent of a
southern newspaper asked him what
he would say, and he replied:
1.-THE Lord only knows. l have
thought of 1000 things to say. 500 of
which If say they will murder me
when get back home, and If say the
other 500 they will murder me at the
banquet"
The ovation which the young, smooth
faced sOutherner, almost unknown in
New York, received at the dinner that
night when the last ringing sentence
has been equaled on similar occa-
sion, and his fellow citizens at home
stood for hours in the rain in crowds
waiting to greet him on his arrival as
the spokesman of the new south. His
progress from a local to a national
reputation had been made in a bound.

At recent dinner in London the
conversation turned on the subject of
lynchings in the United States. 1t was
the general opinion that rope was
the chief end of man in America.
Finally the hostess turned to an Amer
lean, who had taken no part In the
conversation, and said:
you, sir, must have often seen these
affairs
"Yes," he replied, 1--WE take kind
of municipal pride in seeing which city
can show the greatest number of
lynchings yearly"
"Oh, do tell us about lynching you
have seen yourself" broke in half a

Accuracy of steering.

The steering and the calculation as
the Fulton came up again she was in
close range of the mile flags which
We're to be the marks for her to rise.
Then, for the first time, the torpedo
was fired from the Fultons bow while
she was at full speed and submerged.
The torpedo went flying under the wa
ter, leaving n white fash or splutter-

be plainly seen from the deck of the

IN one seconds time after the firing
of the torpedo the Fulton had risen

face of the water. Ten minutes later
the missile was picked up about 600
yards distant.

rising In rapid succession to show how
swift she is in coming above surface
and dropping again to the bottom. The
