TO RAISE THE PHILADELIA.

News Dimes from Washington that
the Secretary of the Navy has directed
Commander Richard White to proceed
to the harbor of Tripoli and ascertain

frigate Philadelphia from the bottom of
Tripoli harbOr where she has been lying
for more than a hundred years.
The story Of the Philadelphia, and
of how she found "A watery grave in the
bay of Tripoli, is one which stands very
close to the beginning of the glorious his

Of the revolution. Readers of our history
are familiar with the story of how the
government of the United States sent q
fleet to the north African coast on the
Mediterranean to chastise Algerine and
Tripolitan pirates, who were proving on
American commerce.
In a demonstration off Tripoli the
Philadelphia got aground through some
m%ischance, with the result that she was
captured by the TripOlitans, flOated, and
carried into their harbor. Then followed

The president announces that he is op-
posed to the expenditure of any money
for improvement Of the Mississippi river
if the improvements do not look to the
prevention of Overiows. AS far as that
goes. il is hard TO see how the river chan
mel can be deepened without at the same
time being enabled to carry off much of
the surplus water at loco seasons. 1t
is not probable that any n along the
river asks for anything better than flood
prevention. Undoubtedly one aid to
food prevention will be to deepen the
stream. The president also insists thai
the work should be done by military
engineers. No one will quarrel with him
on that point.

Feat of Electric Motor.

A remarkable performance of an
electric motor is noted in a recent is
sue Of an electrical paper. The motor
was doing service in mine geared to
a pump, and because of the high tenn
perature prevailing at the spot the
motor was not enclosed, as they often
are. During last winter the mine was
flooded, submerging the pump and the
motor to a depth of two feet. AS it
was necessary to continue tbs opera
ton of the pump the motof; was not
shut down, and for two hours it,ran
without interruption, though ieom-
pletely submerged, until it had actual
ly pumped itself clear of water. The
motor suffered no damage and was
stopped only long enough to clean off
the dirt and chips around the motor.
after which the bearings were oiled.
and it was started again. Since then
it has been running steadily for an
average of 20 hours day.

LATEST m LIFE PREsERvERs
Useful Device, Which May Be In
troduced Into German Navy, Has
Electric Light Attachment.

A new life preserver, which has
been successfully tried, may be in
troduced into the German navy. writes
the American consul from Brunswick.
The apparatus, which weighs five and
one-half pounds. consists of two swim
ming cushions bound together by
straps. The cushions lie upon the
breast and back. The apparatus is
provided with a small lamp fed by a
battery. The lamp can be fastened
around the head with a band worn on
the forehead, so that in an accident
at night the position of the person in
the water can be seen at a consider
able distance. The small electrical
lamp burns three to four hours. and.
with a reflector added, throws the
light several hundred yards at night
In several recent tests of life saving
at night the victims of the supposed
shipwreck, by aid of the lamp, have
been easily discovered. The life pre-
server can be buckled around the
body in five seconds. The lamp be-
gins to shine as soon as the buckle is
fastened.
In case of catastrophies to war
ships the worth of the life preserver
cannot be overestimated. though in
case of war its use would not be ad-
visable.
