THE BRAIN OF THE TORPEDO

Ii has been stated that much of the
Japanese success in naval fights
around Port Arthur was due To the
syroscope. This is a delicate appa-
ratus for keeping a torpedo straight in
it's course. even through a distance OF
1900 yards. II is a small weighted
whcel.like object, carefully suspended
on symbols in the %buoyancy chamber
of the torpedo. Attached TO its axis
is a steel spring connected with the
tooth gearing. A rod to the air lever
actuates it.. When the lever is thrown
back the spring is released. and the
gyroscope spins around at the rate Of
2,200 revolutions a minute. In his

He has drawn his materials from more or less
we'll known sources. but he has used them so
skilfully TO give them taking air of fresh
ness.
The King was n short. stout. red faced.
blue-eyed man. whose head was shaped like a
pineapple He was irrepressibly laxative and
explosively good humored, and his simplicity
and Indifference to etiquette caused the cour
tiers to marvel. He was, in truth a man much
better fitted to play the jocuar country squire
than to rule great country. He felt almost
boyish delight in being King. but to show kingly
dignity was his most difficult task. His first
Christmas after his accession he spent at
Brighton. where he loved to entertain the old
naval officers living in retirement there. Meet
ing them on the street he would pause Ito
grasp them by the hand. offer them snuff ex-
change "reminiscences of former times and tell
stories that ended in roars."
Occasionally he would suddenly appear at the
hall door of some superannuated admiral to bid
rectly to dinner" Once when the spouse of
some old seadOg wished TO excuse herself from
accepting an invitation on account of her gown
the King answered her. On, never mind il: the
Queen and myself are quiet people and. indeed
she does nothing after dinner but embroider
flowers"
He had no liking for luxury and we are re-
minded that one of his first acts to dismiss
his epicurean brothers cooks. The coronation
ceremonies were grievous to him; he fatty re-
fused to be kissed by the bishops. ana ii was
only after great persuasion that he consented
to retain this part of the service. His popu-
larity was much increased by his wish to restrict
the expenses OF the coronation to the smallest
possible sums in consideration of the distress
under which the country then labored For
those were the dark days before the passage
of the Reform bill. and the poverty of the peo-
pie was as great as were the traditional abuses
which that bill was framed to abolish Its pas

cannot read this strange story without believ-
ing that there was some cruel lesion in that busy
brain. The famous Irritation with Byron-de-
scribcd here at great lenGth-was a thine, of alb

one OF the most discreditable of the existing
letters OF the poet is that prodigiously silly and
sentimental one in which he babe her farewell
Mr. Molloy writes frankly il gently Of the
spoiled beauty from her unhappy childhood to
the day when she died in her husbands arms
She had tormented him to desperate but he
loved her always and it is recorded of him that
long years after her death he would speak of
her with tears and ask moOdily Shall We meet

Lamb her infatuation for the poet was merely
Z new craze of his hayward. whimsical childlike
wife. and he felt certain that her capricss and
exactionS would speedily put an end TO Rvron's
melodramatic passion. In a tolerant playful
manner he ridicued the poet who while hint
ing at a blighted life and desolate heart took
quantities or medicine. drank pints of vinegar
and starved himself that he might preserve his
figure from hereditary stoutness that vould
have untitled him for the role of Il Woe stricken

ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT-
SUNDAY. JANUARY 3, 1904.

A certain novelist who submitted manu-
script TO a London publisher the other day had
q quaint experience. She received in due
course from the firm to which she had sent
her work, this brief but pointed communica-
ton: II have pleasure In informing you that l
have now come to this manuscript, and If you
are prepared to send me the sum of los. Cd
payable in advanced / shall have your work
thoroughly read by an expert reader, and in
tie event Of his approving it l shall be pleased
to lay before you scheme for its publication.
1t must have been n shock to the novelist in
question to receive this proposition, and 1t is
not surprising that she Immediately sent it off
to Il sympathetic editor. Everybody knows that
most publishers are so keenly alive to the pos
Sbilty of finding a treasure that they are
more than willing to read, at their own ex-
pcnSe practically all the material that reaches
them But few people realize what an immense
amount OF worthless stuff is put on paper every
year by mediocre writers who dream of achiev
ing literary fame. We are not sure that the
necessity of paying small fee would dis
courage all these dabSters but it might give
some of them pause, and that would be 4 bless
ing. 1t would be fine thing if some inventive
soul were to arise with just the right scheme
for the wet-blanketing of would-be authors at
just the right moment

DR.. Richard Garnett contributes to the cur
rent number Of THE Author interesting
brief paper On the influence OF environment on
men of letters. He cites Scott, for example
a supporting the argument that mans
surroundings have much to do with the char
acter of his work. Abiding TO Goethe he
points out that ''he could not have been better
hardly be thought to have supplied much ali
mcnt to the genius of which he had given ample
proofs before coming there. Its effects was to
provide him with the quiet, honorable, stable
environment, within which his calm, polished
genius could work freely and happily" In
purpose with Goethe from that which it served
with Scott. The truth is that its influence
varies so much that it is impossible to dogma
tie about ii. AS DR.. Garnett says, IF Il man
cannot do something where he is, he is not
likely TO do much anywhere" This is not al
ways the opinion of the modern author He is
great on the importance Of environment, pro-
testing that in one place he is inspired, whereas
in another he cannot work at all. There is q
good deal Of humbug about this. Perhaps the
drollest of all the prattlers about environment
are the noVelists who 20 prancing up and down

Of the scenes they wish to portray they are

not what one finds in a place, but what one
brings TO it, that counts.

Love Is a sickness full Of woes,
All remedies refusing;
A plant that most with cutting grows,
Most barren with best using.
Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies,
If not enjoyed. it signing cries,
Heigh-ho!
Love is a torment of the mind,
A tempest everlasting;
Ard Jove hath made it of a kind
Not well, nor full, nor fasting
Why so?
