Our Navy a Century Aao.

One hundred years ago the naval
force of the United States on the At
lantic coast consisted of thirty-three
vessels, twenty seven of which were
In commission. Among them were a
dozen great ships. first class frigates
and sloops of war, some Of them car
rying as many as seventy-four guns
each. They were all sailing vessels.
The era of the steam warship, how
ever, was close at hand. With the aid
of an appropriation from congress
there was now nearing completion a
floating steam battery" designed by
Robert Fulton. This ship, which was
launched a few months later, was the
first steam war vessel ever built and
was destined to revolutionize the meth
DDS Of naval warfare throughout the
world.-Exchange.

Drills Tiny HoIes,

Making an adding machine required
the drilling Of ten holes in steel
plate a thlrty-second Of an inch thick
each hole to be accurate to thou
sandth Of an inch, yet no bigger than
a pin in diameter. Such a problem
stopped the manufacture Of the ma
chine on a commercial basis until the
inventor Of the calculator could invent
a means Of solving 1t.
The machine devised stands but
twelve inches high. The drill which
was built carries ten spindles, each
holding a drill of No. 6 Morse gauge
which is about the size OF pin
Of ordinary nse. Each little silver OF
steel that does the work is driven by
a belt operating through a cam head
and therefore works at the same speed
as that of its neighbOrs.
The actual drilling requires ten sec

India's Hoarded Gold.

For many years London has been
steadily drained of her gold by India
In ten years India has absorbed from
cir"nlation 150,O0000O gold sovereigns
and boarded them away. The coolie
has learned that silver rupees are a
poor investment, especially II he melts
them into anklets or nose ring for
his wife, as over 80 per cent of the
silver is lost in the melting pot, while
the gold sovereign preserves Its value
whether he keeps 1t as a coin or melts
1t. When a coolie collects 10 ru-
pees which he finds to be temporarily
surplus he buys sovereign with it.
He has come to understand the wis
dom of boarding away only the gold
coin, which he knows he can always
realize on at its original value.

A South American Hobo.


Santiago, capital of Chile, is the
home Of the roto Chileno or broken
Chilean, most picturesque and unique
Of hoboes. The name is a byword in
South America, and as far as that con-
tinent Is concerned he is unique type
We find rich people everywhere and
poor people everywhere, but In no 9th
er South American country but Chile
do we find this good natured, service
able, deceitful, ragged, drunken, crimi
nal species Of tramp. He earns live
lihood by begging, doing odd jobs and
thieving. The last is his mainstay. In
his hands stealing has become a fine
art. The Chileans have a saying that
he will steal your socks without touch
ing your boots. A long, jointed wire
with hook at the end is his favorite
tool. If a window on the street is left
unguarded he will with this simple
contrivance successfully remove from
the interior everything but the heavy
furniture.-Eew York Independent.
