BARRIE'S LITTLE JOKE.
He Was Failure as Presiding Officer
and Lie

and He Knew 1t.
There is only one recorded instance
of Sir J. NJ. Barries acting as chair
man of a public meeting. In the Cen
fury Magazine Mr.. John D. Williams
told the story to the American public.
1t was on the occasion of Burns cele-
bratiOn.
Barrie took the chair as presiding of
fcer and then kept to it firmly
Throughout the entire proceedings he
did not utter a single word, but re-
manned as if glued to the horribly con-
spicuOus chair, loathing his predica-
ment, but inwardly amused at the ex-
pressions on the faces of all about him,
which made dismally clear the fact
that he was failure as a presiding of
ficer.
When the meeting was almost half
finished Barrie took advantage of a
talhative group il front OF him and
quietly stole away before any one had
chance to miss him. But the next
week a well known Saturday review
printed satirical article called Mr..
Barrie In the Chair The thing was
simply whitening in its ironical account
of the dumb presiding officer who
eventually fed, leaving a meeting to
preside over itself The greatest re-
gret was naturally expressed by those
who had persuaded Barrie to come to
the Burns celebration, and among his
friends tremendous indignation was
! felt and vented. But some day they
will know, if they have not already
found out, that the article was writer
by Barrie himself!

games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious troubles.
Women We're not allowed to be present
or even to be anywhere in the district
when the games were being celebrated
on pain of being hurled from a precipi-
tous rock. This rule is believed to
have been defed only once. when the
offender was pardoned in consideration
Of the fact that her father, brothers
md son had been victOrs in the games.
One particular priestess, however, was
not only exempt from this law. but
was accommodated with a special front
seat on an altar of white marble. and
women were allowed to enter chariots
for the races. though they might not
be present to see them win.

NAVAL TORPEDoEs.
Intricate Mechanism of These Awful
Engines of Destruction.

Intricate Mechanism of These Awful
Engines of Destruction.
At the torpedo's head is an explosive
chamber which holds damp guncotton.
This is fired by means Of a rod which.
on contact with the walls of a ship. is
driven in upon a detonator. This fires
q primer, which in turn eXplOdeS the
guncOtton.
The next chamber stores compressed
air to the pressure Of 1900 pounds to
the square inch. This is practically
the boiler room of the torpedo, for it
supplies the motive power to the four
cylinder engine which drives it through
the water on its GRAND of destruction.
Next comes the wonderful gyroscopic
control of the air motor by which the
rudders are adjusted. This is where
the intricate mechanism Of the torpe-
do is so clearly demonstrated. Should
it rise or dip in the water this gyro-
scope actuates Il motor which in turn
operates rods related with the rud-
ders and at once readjusts any defiec-
ton from the course originally set.
The motor mentioned is but a few
inches in length, yet the power it eX-
erts by means of compressed air is
such that the pressure of half an ounce
operated by the steering gear produces
pull of $50 pounds on the rudders.
This terrible fish's tail holds wheel
gearing for the driving of two pro-
pellers and the manipulation of the
rudders. The propellers revolve in OPP
posite directions, thereby preventing
the torpedo describing a circle.-Lon-
