Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents q
densely populated district on the East
side of New York city. II occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some of his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
stills or fire escapes, so he sent an as.
sortment of seed to the inmate of
model tenement house owned by one
Of his friends. The latter met him
a few days ago and said: See here.
Sulzer, want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit" Why.
what's the natter asked the aston
ished Sulzer and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. ooh, you meant
well, all right" returned the friend
scornfully, but when | visited the

TORPEDO BOATS BY POST"
Effective Little War Vessels Propelled
Without the Aid Of Steam.

A torpedo boat that can be sent on
by rail to the port where II Is most re-
CURED opens up possibilities which ma
val experts have never contemplated,
says the London Mail. The other
morning the king witnessed a trial Of
the new motor Yarrow torpedo boat,
one of the most extraordinary vessels
that have ever been placed on the
navy list.
The idea of boat drawing little
water and capable of being navigated
in shallow waters originated with the
admiralty, who approved of the
scheme TO make vessels propelled by
internal combustion in preference to
steam. The result of the experiment
was seen recently from the deck Of
the Victoria and Albert.
The new vessel carries two torpe.
does. weighs eight tons and measures
60 feet in length and nine feet in
breadth. Her horse power is 800 and
the advantage the petroleum craft has
over steam may be gagged from the
fact that her range of effectiveness

recharging-is 600 miles, as against
