purpose of finding a key that would

They were travelling incognito, and Dr.
Lambert asked those whom they met TO

Lambert, when spoken TO, said:

Co. of Boston to issue new illus
trated edition Of The Queen OF Quel-
parte." that striking romance Of Rus
sian intrigue in Korea by Archer But
Ter Hubert, which was recently pub
lished.
The romance turns on the ambitious
plans Of Russia TO secure possession of
Pert Arthur and of the intrigues which
led to success in wrestling the fortress
from the victorious Japanese. Colonel
Ivan Oranon is the central figure OF
the romance, and much of the action
turns or the state funeral of the muir
dered Queen.
1T would spoil the readers enjoy
ment to give a glimpse of the plot, but
il MAJ be said that il contains some
reinarka bly, dramatic episodes, in
which a young American plays a con-
spicuoUs part. There is a framework
IF fact upon which the story is built
and this framework the young author
obtained at Seoul while he was serv-
ing as correspondent for several Amer

In all, the Brooklyn fired 61S shells at

TO So 6-inch shells at Ell each... 1885
To IL 6-pouuder shells at 81
each IL
To 400 1-pounder shells at lis cd
Thus the five minutes firing cost the
United States aS677, and during each
minute of the duel the Brooklyn hurl-
ed 123 projectiles at her enemy at a
cost of e1735. II we add to this the
cost of the Viscaya's answering fire
we see that the fight between the two
ships could scarcely have cost less
than $4,000 minute, or at the rate of
E1S0,O00 an hour. We must remember,
too, that on neither ship would. it be
possible to use all the available guns
at once; so that there is still large
margin for increased expenditure when

In addition to the hydraulic hoists for

other purposes, such as working the
