TORPEDO BOAT
EXPLOSION.

Lewes, Del, April 3O.-The cause
of the explosion yesterday on the SUBJ
marine boat Fulton it is now bellev.
ed, was q mixture of sulphuric acid
fumes, thrown off by the storage bat
terry in action, with some unknown
gas. That the cause Of the explosion
is to be found in the batteries is ar
gued from the wrecked condition Of
the sixty cell storage battery under
the floor of the boat, and from the
sulphuric acid fumes that arose from
the hold of the vessel Immediately
after the explosion. The explosion,
as described by one of the injured men
was ain upheavel from the floor of the
boat, the men being thrown with
terrific force against the railing. This
accounts for the great numberof scalp
wounds.
There was no fire at any time on
the Fulton, although the boat is pro-
PEELED by gasoline engine when run
ming on the surface Of the water and
by an electric motor driven by the
storage battery when submerged.
-Four Of the injured men have left
the hospital with their heads well
bandagcd and retIirned to theconvoy.
Storm King Gunner Charles Blehtold,
who was more seriously in lred and
overcome by the sulphurc acid fumes
will probably remain in the hospital
for several days. The wreckasc in

cleared away, and as soon as practical

CLEANSING and RESTORATION

True health can only be maintain

matters. The blood that is pumped
through the heart to all parts of the
body, carries noulishment and health
or poison and the seeds of death.

His Friend Godfrey.

The following story, told by the
Washington Post, leads us to wonder
which to condemn first, the boaster or
his critics. 1t concerns a certain man
who has a large collection of auto
graphs.
Indeed, the envy and sometimes the
.skepticism of his friends have been eX-
cited by the number of successful au-
thors who have set down familiar and
fattering inscriptions in his books.
Some carpers have even gone so far
as to hint darl1ly at similarity Of
handwriting throughout the collection.
He recently purchased rare edition
of Chaucer, and one evening when a
party was gathered at the house the
precious book was passed from hand
to hand. The owner lost sight of it,
but the next morning he found it lying
on his library table.
On the fly leaf was inscribed:
'"TO Jack -, from his old friend and
schoolmate, Geof. Chaucer."
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1902-12-18

1t is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy eX-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth of a mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with smiling
countenance and without seeming eff
fort or emotion. Replying to man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, "Pray tell me how many acres
does it take to make wiseacre?
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, II can
not, your majesty, tell king from a
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:
"You and I, my dear brother, have in
verted the laws Of nature. You have
risen in the world by your gravity, and
I have fallen by my levity?- Saturday

Fashionable Life In Italy.

The fashionable season in Italy, says
Luigi Villari in Italian Life In Town
and Country" is from Christmas to
the carnival At Naples, Messina and
some other places there is also sum-
mer season. Commenting on the pc
culiarities of life among the upper
classes, Mr.. Villari says:
italians, even in the grandest estab-
lishments, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. A few men who wish to be par
ticularly fashionable wear a smoking
coat with a black tie, which garment
is sufficient for all save very large din
ner parties and balls. On the other
hand, there are occasions when a man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t is de
rigueur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights. They display more jew
elry by day than English ladies. The
Italian aristocracy have magnificent
jewels, and even in quite small towns,
where there is no great wealth, the old
families can make a fine display. The
tall hat is only necessary at marriages,
funerals and at court. Young men of
fashion wear it also when paying calls
during the season. Among the bour-
geoisie evening clothes are hardly ever
worn at ALL

Two Clever Statesmen.


One crisis in Lord PalmerstOn's life
illustrates the absolute good humOr
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at it's worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk Of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense Of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority Of
fourscOre.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
II was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, "what clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me in a hole!'
"Ah," was the reioinder, "but moth
ing like the cleverness Of the fellow
who got you out of it!'

The Worlds Largest Crab.

How would you like to have a crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic Japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world.
The specimen is a type of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters of the
group Of islands forming the empire
Of Japan. The body portion is the size
of a half bushel measure, while it's
two great arms or ''feelers" could cas-
lily encircle the figure Of man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elias
tic, and If strung into one line they
would reach to the top of four story
apartment building. One of the ex-
traordinary peculiarities Of this crab
is the faculty Of assuming disguise
by affixing pieces of seaweed and
sponges to the body.

Man is unquestiOnably a highly ra-
tional being. Still, if you travel and
observe, from the mouth of the Danube
to the Golden Gate you will find most
men wearing a coat with a useless col
lar marked with a useless V shaped
slash and decorated with two useless
buttons at the small of the back and
one or two more useless buttons at the
cuffs. The collar, the slash and the
buttons are there in answer to no
rational need. 1t is not a common eli
mate nor a common racial need. of pro-
lection against climate that they repre-
sent, but a common civilization whose
form and ritual they mutely confess.

The Certainty of Fate.

The Mohammedans have fable
which they repeat to illustrate the GER

quotes it as having been told by Mr..
Robert Barr, the celebrated novelist.
A sultan was once asked by his ia
vorite, the grand vizier, for permission
to leave at once for Smyrna, although
a brilliant court fete was then in prog
ress. Upon being asked his reason for
such haste the yiZier replied:
Because just saw the angel of
death yonder in the crowd. He looked
at me SO earnestly that I know he has
come for me. I wish to escape him."

Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
manders on sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record Of his having
been actually defeated in a direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1897.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face of a fire Of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats The attempt
was frustrated by the strength of the
mole and the nonappearance of land
force which should have co-operated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and a hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral Of
Santa Cruz.
