THE TYPHoNoIp.

"Typhonoid," a word derived from
a Greek term meaning whirlwind,
has been applied to a new type Of
boat invented by a French engineer,
who seeks to do away with the pres
screw propeller. The new
screw is placed at the bow of the
boat instead of at the stern, and it is
believed that by it the centrifugal
and the central void Of
the present type are converted into
benefits and the limit to the advan-
tageous increase in velocity of rota-
ton Of the propeller is removed. The
is designed to work by
suction in the manner of a water
spout. The inventor figures that his
boat, with 321a-inch screw, will 60
through the water at a rate of more
than 81 miles an hour.

which have been made at Carthage
10y the Rev. p. DcIattcr are num-
Der Of sarcophagi. In many Of these
the top cover is sculptured in re-
lief with figure of life size carved
out of marble and beautifully tinted
in various colors. One very fine
specimen was found in the necropo-
lis at a depth Of twenty-five feet.
On the cover is a figure of a woman,
executed in the Greek style, with a
long garment reaching to the ankles
and a veil covering her head Great
technical skill is shown in treating
the different tissues. The flesh parts
are well polished and the eyes are
painted, giving lifelike aspect. The
hair is gilded. Inside the sarcopha-
gus were found the remains of the
person, with some bronze objects.

Pobiedonostseff, Russian Reactlonary
Type Of Man OF Whom the

NJ. Pobiedonostseff Russia's great
reactionary and former procurator
Of the holy synod, who died recently,
was once described as belonging TO
that most dangerous class of evil
doers--a wrong-headed man OF
blameless life and pure intentions.
Cast in the Byzantine mold, his fea-

pinched. His eyes we're cold and
sharp and rendered still colder by
the spcctacles that shielded them,
while his glance was as frigid as
the cherries ray Of winter sun. An
drew u. White, American ambassa-
dor in Russia, found the procurator
"to all appearance a scholarly, kind
" man." who had translated some
essays Of Emerson into Russian and
was never without an open volume
Of this writer on his study table.
But at was evident that he regarded
Russia as representing among the
nations the idea of heaven-given and
church-anointed authority--as the
empire destined to save the principle
Of divine right and the rule of the
fittest." Nevertheless he was proud
Of Tolstoy, regarding him as ont
of the glories of modern Russia
"He is a wide reader and in the
whole breadth of his reading Amer,
lean authors were evidently among
those he preferred"
