ECCENTRIC NAVAL OFFICER.
Veterans Recall Curt Notes Written
by Captain Mad Jack" Percival.

Naval officers, especially the Gold
STEERS" those who have passed to the
~threescore and ten limit, are wont to
indulge in galley yarns when they get
together in the rooms of the New
York Yacht club, where so many of
them are honorary members, or at
the Army or Navy club. There was q
little quartette Of this sort at the lat
ter club a few evenings ago, says the
New York Tribune, and among their
yarns" was one about Capt. Perez
val, or "Mad jack" as he was famil-
iarly called, for he was one of the
characters Of the old navy, and many
are the anecdotes that could be told
Of him. He was considered eccen-
tric, and his reports as well as his
private letters were concise and cpl
grammatic.
AT one time the son Of an old
friend was appointed a midshipman,
and as there was no naval academy in
those days as there is now at Annapo-
lis, the lad was drafted to Percivars
ship. The father wrote at once to his
friend to announce the fact that his
son was on shipboard, and after the
usual condolences he closedlhis letter
with: "My son has entered upon a
profession where he will 60 down to
his grave wept, honored and sung; or
unwept, unhonored and unsung."
Capt. Percival, while eccentric was
irascible, and the young %midshipman
had not been on board long before he
aroused the wrath of his commander
who at once sat down and wrote to
the lads father: Dear Sir:-Your
son is going down to the grave un-
Wept, unhonored and unsung."
AT another time, when a member
Of the board for the examination Of
candidates for midshipman's war
rants, a son Of another friend came
before the board, and after the exam
nation, Percival, wishing to an
nounce the result to the boys father,
wrote in this wise: Dear Old Mess
mate: Your son has passed. Do yOu
TscOllect our taking the Columbus
out Of dOOkS She just grazed."

NEW EPOCH IN SCIENCE.
May Result from Discovery of Ra-
dunn, Thorium and Uranium.

may Result from discovery OF ka-
dunn, Thorium and Uranium.
The recent epoch-making diseov-
cries in science are being rapidly de-
yeloped. investigations by N. Curie,
the French physicist, Sir W. Thorn
son, Prof, Rutherford, Prof. Sir VIII
liam Crookes, and Prof. Sir Oliver
Lodge have carried US entirely into
an unknown region Of physics and
chemistry where all analogies fail
and all accepted views Of the nature
Of matter offer no assistance.
A study of the r~adioactivity of the
three new elements, radium, thori-
UNI and uranium, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, shows that three kinds
of rays are emitted. One kind con-
sists Of radially projected atoms Of
matter which are thrown into space
at the tremendous speed of 10000
miles per second. These particles
emitted by radium are 1000 times
more massive than the negative cleo =
irons, which are also thrown off at a
similar speed. and which have long
been known under the name Of radi-
ant matter. They are positively in
stead of negatively charged, and
moving faster than the fastest flying
star, are the most rapid moving mat
ter known.
This property Of radioactiyity has
placed a new weapon in the hands Of
the chemical analyst as superior in
delicacy to the existing methods as
those Of %spectroscopy were when in
troduced 40 years ago. Matter in
quantities invisible under the micro
scope, unweighable and beyond the
detection even of the s~pectroscope
may now be quantitatively investi--
gated. Every experiment yet made
bears out the theory of the disinte-
grafton Of the original elements into
new elements.
As an explanation Of this newly
discovered quality of %radioactivity it
is found that the process continues
without reference to any interfer-
enceby ordinary physical or chemical
forces. The transmutation Of ele-
mentS is still beyond the power of
the chemist, yet it is conclusively
proved to be proceeding spontane-
ously throughout the universe. If
science should one day learn how to
control or influence this process the
power which would accrue to man
would be something beyond the ca
pacity Of the Imagination to con-
ceive.
