Foreign Financial Markets.

Henry Clews, in his Saturday circular. says:
 ..The extent to which the war dominates the financial markets in Europe is seen by the numerous failures in Berlin, Paris and other centers. due to speculations based upon the mistaken theory that hos tiiities between Russia and Japan would be averted Whether the troubles of those who erred in this respect are ended or not cannot be told at this time and 1t re- mains to be seen what further develop ments will bring forth.
 NO doubt these troubles have been ag- gravated by large operations for the fall, which precipitated a temporary panic on the Paris bourse, and was not at all sur prisng in view Nof the immense holdings of Russian bonds in France Thus far neither Russia nor Japan has made any actual attempts to place war loans on the international markets. both having thus far met increased expenditures from their own resources It is impossible, however. to feel any certainty in this respect, and should the war prove of long duration or very costly one or both of the contest ants will be obliged to tap the worlds money markets. Prudent foreign bank CTS are. therefore. especially careful about their commitments, and are likely to re- main so until the issue of the war seems more certain than at present. This does not imply any unsoundness in the foreign financial markets, but simply is a neces- sary preparedness for new deuiands or surprises, which our own bankers also have in view"

Rustic RIlss.

"I saw an amusing incident this af- ternoon when just about to sit down to lunch in a restaurant on Twentieth street" said a man about town. Being attracted to the door by rush of curious people, and much suppressed laughter, my eyes were greeted by a picture of rural bliss and self-forgetfnlness that is rarely witnessed. A remarkably lean and hun gry looking mule drawing a buggy that appeared to be relic of war times, was coming slowly down Twentieth street. In the vehicle were seated newly-wedded couple from the rural districts who seemed to be lost in the seventh heaven of bliss.
 ''The girl was half way seated in the young mans lap, and he had passed a protecting arm around her waist. The lines hung carelessly across the dashboard while the antiquated mule wandered along at his own sweet will. The street was quickly lines with people who stood and laughed, but the young couple in the buggy were totally oblivious to all earth ly things. and apparently were unaware that they were attracting so much atten- ton.
 "Although I watched the conveyance until it disappeared in the direction of Capital park, saw no change in the att tltude of it's occupants, and people con tinued to stare and laugh until the buggy passed out of sight These young people were certainly enjoying their honeymoon trip while it lasted"

Summer Season.

Birmingham people are looking forward with anticipation of much pleasure to the opening of the summer season at East Lake" said a business man yesterday. "The project of Jake Wells and local business men to establish a flrst-class summer theatre is meeting with general approval, and l have no doubt that such a venture will pay. In fact the sum mers here are apt to become rather tedious, unless we have good summer theatricals. Of course, we have baseball In the afternoon but one desires to have place of amusement for the evenings when he has no engagements Tn town For such occasions no place is better suited than East Lake, and the fact that meritorious productions will be given in the Aquatic theatre will no doubt do much to increase the patronage at this popular resort.
 q believe that light opera or musical comedy would take we'll at this resort. This style of entertainment seems to be in demand with the public, and there is no reason why a strong opera company should not be able to stay at the lake all summer, presenting a change Of bill every week or two.
 'As the patronage last summer was very gratifying, I predict that MT. Wells and his associates will achieve decided success next summer"

Torpedoes and BattleshIps.

John Ericsson often said "a battle. ship is nothing but torpedo food" and the Russo-Japanese war seems to be lvindicating the words of the wise old inventor. The exact nature of the iJapanese torpedo attack at Port Ar thur is not known, but it Is known that the Japanese torpedo boats use torpedoes of the Whitehead type. Such torpedoes are in the form of huge cigar, the enclosing case being of thin steel about fifteen feet long and eigh- teen inches in diameter. The primer at the end of it is exploded by con- cussion, thus igniting about 200 pounds of gun cotton. Back of the gun cotton is a chamber of compressed air, and the escape of this air duly regulated drives the torpedo through the water by means of a propeller When tor pedoes were first devised their course in shifting water was somewhat ec- centric, but an American invention, the Obey gyroscope, has obviated all that, and torpedo is now expected to go straight to it's target. The gyro- scope controls the rudder of the tor pedo.
 The torpedo is first elected from a pivoted tube, three of which the tor pedo boat lying low in the water usu- ally carries on it's deck. AS soon as 1t is discharged the compressed air be- gins its propelling work, and it is ex- pected to drive the torpedo through the water at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Torpedoes can be discharged fifteen hundred yards away from their victims, or about mile, but torpedo boats can in the night creep up to a point four hundred yards away be- fore a searchlight will disclose them.
 Tie torpedo boat works as rule at night, and all defenses of nets and chains have been discarded. The only known defense consists in the use of torpedo boat destroyers. A battle. ship that is not patrolled at night by fleet of torepdo boat destroyers is
