New Weapon for Our Navy.

1.-THE new high-speed turbine tor
pedo recently adopted and being
manufactured for the government"
writes l.. Z. Zeh in the March number
of the Technical World Magazine,
gives to the United States navy one
Of the most powerful and destructive
sea weapons In the world. This new
submarine missile. owing to the terrific
pace it can sustain while in flight
through the water, and the long dis
lance it will travel, is to take The place
of the Whitehead torpedo formerly in
use"
The superior strategic advantages of
the Bliss-Leavitt turbine in naval war
fare over all other types now in eX-
i%stence, are it's surprising speed and
longer range. Four thousand yards is
the extreme distance it will travel, $500
yards being the guaranteed contract
range; at 1900 yards the speed is SO
knots. The turbine a an excess
speed gain of more than 25 per cent,
while going double the distance Of the
latest Whitehead, which a a speed of
only 90 knots and a range of 1000
yards. The United States government
has authorized several millions of dol
lars to be expended for the purchase
and construction of 400 t~orpedoes Of
this type, which in the future will be
the only one used in tho navy.

A Novel Bowling Alley.

4HL.a - AN - g ~ IVA q a.aNH
There have been several types of
bowling alleys invented to do away
with the services of the boy who sets
scribed differs materially from any Of
them. 1t is intended principally for
use in connection with street railway
parks, and Its earning capacity IN Ibis
respect is said to be remarkable. At
10 cents a game one alley will earn
$1.S0 ar hour. This will show a gross
earning of $3.50 an hour for four alleys,
the number one attendant can operate
to the best advantage.
IN this device the balls are returned
by gravity ard the pins reset by the
bowler pulling q lever.
Suspended above the alley at the far
end is a curtain, having pointers ar
ranged thereon to provide an objective
point for the delivered ball. Passing
under this curtain, the pointers serv-
ing as guides for the bowler. the ball,
delivered with sufficient force. passes
on to a curved runway, composed OF a
series OF vertically disposed STATS,
spaced sufficiently far apart to receive
the ball n guide it upwardly and for
wardly.
Hinged balls, suspended from a rod
and spaced apart by sleeve washers,
AoNC llSl1 lOWel C~IOSSpleCeS udllSll1S
across the path Of the ball as it passes
forwardly from the curved runway.
These balls have upward extensions,
designed to engage and knock down the
hinged pins when a bail or balls is or
are struck. A cushion receives the
knocked down pins. After striking one
or more of these balls the ball Is then
received into al open-ended box, whose
bottom is covered with sound-deaden-
ing material. The front wall of the
box is provided with q cushion and a
cushion is arranged along the upper
rear edge of the box. The direction Of
rotation Of the ball. in it's travel along
the alley and the curved guideways, is
such that when it strikes the first cush-
ion the direction of rotation Is counter
to its momentum. and, unless the ball
is delivered with considerable force,
this counter rotation Is sufficient to
overcome the momentum, and conse-
quently the ball will not strike the sec
ond cushion, but will be arrested on
the first and moved rearwardly down
an incline which terminates in a later
ally-inclined runway and delivers the
bail on an inclined runway. At the
players end of the alley this runway is
provided with an inwardly inclined
track, ending in a stall for the balls,

and herbs, natures own remedies

urgent cases. By tradition and ex-

Mrs. Pinknam took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; SO, If we but take thc pains
to find them, in the roots and. herbs
of the field there are remedies ex.

the United States ordered new loco

600 freight cars. These last figures give
a good idea Of the relative Importance
of passenger and freight traffic to q
large railroad. The rail mills started
the new year with orders for $780,

Record of Financial Institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the financial institutions of Canada,
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1905. "
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion Of
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
In the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
Of the Canadian banking system, 1t Is
claimed that it's flexible currency has
many commendable features, and with
out WHICH the last few months of the
year must have produced a money
%stringency with probably disastrous re
suits. 1t Is felt that a wider field Of
credit in the Dominion Is needed, and

The chartered banks of Canada TO-
day enjoy the confidence of the general
public to 81 greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits of the people
IN these institutions last year were
S522,3li, 900, which shows an increase
of over $5G,O00,OO0 for the year. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
er country In the world, comparatively
speaking, can make a better showing
than Canada.
The total deposits OF the Canadian
people in the government savings
banks, i'll special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum Of $6O9,454 900. This represents
an average credit balance of over 500
per head Of the population OF the Do

other country In the world that ap-
proaches this record Is Denmark, where
the average credit balance Is about
