HOW MODERN MEN-OF-WAR UTIL
IZE VALUABLE INVENTIONS.
TliU New Forc rut a Vcwm-1 Into the
lamia of One Mun -Srarcli Light Ma
nipulated. Cuua l'lrel. Turple Steered
and Shins Piloted ly i:i--tt Icily.
Electricity on shijw of war is purely an
Amoricau idea, ami was first tried ou tho
United States steamer Trenton in ISffil. Soon
after the tystom bail U-vn tested llio vessel
sailed on a threo year' cruLso, and nt true tod
much attention oa the first war vessel ull.at
to bo lighted by electricity. The success of
tho Trenton's experiment pructicully settled
the question in naval circles. Through the
exertions of Lieut. Commander It B. Brad
ford, who was the Trenton'sexecutive officer,
electric tights were placed on the Vermont,
New Hampshire, Omaha, Dolphin and Chi
cago. Each cruiser has alout 500 lights, and
the gunboats about with sufficient sup
plies to last threo years. All the cutouts and
switches are made water tight and tested by
turning a stream of water on any part of the
circuit.
There are innumerable devices by wldcb
electricity is made useful on board ship. The
value of the search light cannot be estimated,
as scouting parties, torj)odo boats or swift
steam launches can be detected a mile away
on the darkest night. As a motive power for
small machines it is invaluable, and on the
Chicago will bo brought into play for train
ing the huge guns of the main battery. It is
used also for discharging .he rifled ordnance
and the entire system c:i:'r t'.n- :
control of the commander Iruui uis puaitiou
in the fighting tower. He requires no uncer
tain assistants to place him in communication
with the various departments of the complex
machines. Electrical devices perform all the
duties, transmit the orders and coutrol the
movements with far greater accuracy and
safety than would be possible by the old
methods.
The simple pressure of a button endows
the huge monster with life and activity,
causing 10,000 tons to glide smoothly through
the water at a speed of twenty knots. At
the touch of a second button the great shields
swing noiselessly aside and huge apertures
are disclosed, filled the next instant by power
ful rifled breech loaders. There is a hush, a
moment of expectancy, as the commander
c pilars through the little slot on a level with
his eye in the tower, touches a third button,
and tho cruiser vomits forth sheets of llama
The long steel shot dart through space at the
rate of 2,000 feet in a second ; bow, stern and
broadside respond in one terrific roar, and,
crash 1 the fabric trembles 'ueath the simul
taneous explosion of of 6,000 pounds of pow
der, and 12,000 pounds of metal are sent
whizzing through the air by means of the
electric slave of the dynamo.
The merest motion of the little polished
lever directly in front of tho captain brings
the powerful 6earcb light into action and
sends a dazzling beam through tho dark void.
To the left protrudes still another concave
innocent appearing globe, which controls a
silent, though potent and death dealing aux
iliary. A slight click is heard, a puff of
white smoke and the Whitehead torpedoes
glide from their smooth tubes and are driven
through the water at the rates of thirty
miles an hour. Aa electric bell signals the
officer in charge of the quick firing and ma
chine guns when to play his part and ere the
gong has ceased to vibrate, thousands upon
thousands of explosive projectiles are flying
through the air at the rate of 1,000 feet per
second.
A FEARFUL RESPONSIBILITY.
The latest electric appliance is a system of
engine room telegraph, invented by J. B.
Wollis, on Englishman. It has been thor
oughly tested in the royal navy, and adopted
on her majesty's ships Camperdown, Rodney
and Aurora. It is also fitted to the Magici
enne and the Marathon, two second class
twin screw cruisers. The Wollis system com
prises an engine room telegraph, a revolution
order telegraph and a steering telegraph, the
principle being the same in each case. The
engine room telegraph consists of a combined
transmitter and reply indicator, inclosed in a
case mounted on a pedestal. This instru
ment has a dial, around which the orders to
be transmitted are distinctly marked, and a
handle at the back turns a pointer to the de
sired command.
The moving of the handle or lever gives
tho "attention" signal to the engineer. The
engineer putting his lever over causes a bell
to be sounded on the bridge, which calls at
tention to the fact that he is acknowledging
the order and repeating it back. The revolu
tion telegraph is a simple means of transmit
ting to the engineer the number of revolu
tions at which the commander wishes the en
gine to run. The admiral may signal to the
fleet that he is going at seventy revolutions,
which signal has to be repeated to the en
gineers, in order that all the vessels may keep
in lino with the flagship. The steering tele
graph is another application of the same
principla The transmitter and receiver are
similar to those of the engine room telegraph,
the latter being ingeniously attached to the
rudder, which makes the record automat
ically. !
In connection with the steam,' steering
wheel, which in the fighting tower of an iron
clad is directly under the commander's con
trol, he has at his disposal a terrible and de
cisive weapon once it is put in motion.
Projecting a number of feet in advance is
the ram attachment, its proportions and
deadly qualities concealed under water.
Emerging from whirling clouds of battle,
guided by the will of the commander, the
great fabric, impelled by the combined
strength of the immense engines,' with fur
naces glowing and steam hissing, the cruiser
rushes straight onward prepared , to crash
into its opDqnerjt. '
A single hand guides the modern engine of
war that the next instant may be tearing
and rending solid oak and steel plates that
have afforded protection and a homo for hun
dreds of brave tneu. To inflict such a blow
Involves the life or death of the entire ship's
company, and with the destruction and sulk
ing of the ironclad hundreds of human beings
are ushered into eternity, it is a fearful re
sponsibility to assume, a tremendous power
to be vested in the hands of one man, and
well may the commander of a modern cruiser
pause, weighing all the mighty considera
tions involved ere he immiyes hiniself in his
fighting tower wherein lies life or death.

THE AIR FULL OF BIRDS.
Iteration ot the Feathered Vhlllcr at

Tho Inland of Heligoland, in tho North si'a,
U nothing but a triangular rock of mt1iuu a
hundred acres, but there Is probably no pt
of equul size on ths enrtir surface tliut U i

fuct is," wiys Mr. tioebouin, "that this little
inland U tho only part of the world of which
the ornithology has leen properly worked.
Every little boy on the island is a lrn nnd

which visits the island li-is turtui the ;;uiiiitlet

"Every bird which appears is whistled

Mr. Secbohiu visited the i.and some years
ago to witness tho autumnal migration. "For
nearly a week," he writes, "tho weather was
unfavorable. There was scarcely half a
dozen birds ou tho island. On the 1-th of
October the afternoon was calm, and in the
evening a breezo sprang up from the souih
east I called Uon Gatke, who advised me
to go to bed and be up before sunrise, us in
all protiability I should find the Island swarm

angler's landing uet were making for the
lighthouse. As I crossed tho potato fields
birds were continually getting up at my feet.
"At the lighthouse an intensely interesting
sight presented itself. Tho wholo zone of
light within range of tho mirrors was nlive
with birds coining and going. Nothing else
was visible in tho darkness of tho night but
tho lantern of tho lighthouse vignetted in a
drifting sea of birds. From tho darkness in
the east clouds of birds were emerging in an
uninterrupted strea'n.
"I should be afraid to hazard a guess as to
the hundreds of thousands that must have
passed in a couple of hours, but tho stray
birds which tho lighthouse keeper succeeded
in securing as they fluttered against tho wire
netting amounted to almost threo hundred.
"Tho night was starless and tho town in
visible, but the island looked like tho out
skirts of a gas lighted city, being sprinMed
over with brilliant lanterns. Many of the
larks alighted on tho ground to rest, and al
lowed the Heligolanders to pass their nets
over them. Ou some nights as many as 15,

Stories About Tenuynon.
Absent minded to a degree, Tennyson often
forgets to whom ho is speaking, and once
when in full conversation with Robert
Browning said, apparently apropos de bottes:
"1 wonder how Browning's getting on!''
"Why!" exclaimed Robert, "I am Brown
ing!" "Konsense!" replied Tennyson, with
almost an attempt at roguish raillery, "1
know the fellow well, so you can't tell me
you are he."
A few years ago some enthusiastic admirer
of Tennyson gave a largo dinner jiarty in hi
honor, and invited all their choicest friends
in the world of literature and art to meet
him. Tennyson, who rarely accepts an invi
tation, did, for a wonder, put in an appear
ance on this occasion, but during the first half
of tho dinner caused the greatest disappoint
ment by remaining absolutely silent, and as
if lost in the most profound reverie.
The guests, who hod expected to hang on
words falling like pearls of thought from his
lips, gazed somewhat wistfully upon him,
when suddenly rousing himself, ho exclaimed
iu a loud stentorian voice: "I like my mutton
cut in chunks!" I cannot help suspecting
that there was something of malice prepense
in this burst of confidence, and that tho poor
man felt a not unnatural irritation at being
gaped at, and a corresponding desire to pun
ish the offenders.
An anecdote told mo not long ago by his
daughter-in-law is amusing, in that it shows
how the greatest are not incapable of stoop
ing to little weaknesses. Some very dear
friends of Tennyson's, who had been spending
somo years in Persia, returned to London,
and, anxious to renew old ties, wrote inviting
him to their house. But Tennyson mistook
the day, and arriving at tho domicile found
the birds flown. Sitting down to write a
note of explanation, ho had the misfortune to
throw tho contents of a well filled ink bottle
all over tho beautiful white Persian carpet.
The maid servant, in answer to his sum
mons, appeared with a largo jug of new
milk, which she poured over the offending
ink stain. "I'll give you five shillings, my
good girl, my very good girl," confided Ten
nyson, in much agitation, "if you'll only get
rid of that abominable ink before your mas
ter and mistress come home." And together
on their bands and knees poet and Abigail
rubbed and rubbed at the wretched carpet
until not a spot remained. The girl earned
her five shillings, and when a few weeks
afterward Tennyson went to. dine with his
friends he had every reason to believe that
she had told no tales. At any rate his host
and hostess displayed their gorgeous carpet
without any signs of consciousness London

Features, pf a Conrlvt Community.
Many of the prisoners were known among
themselves by what seemed to be very odd
names, and I learned that they were nick
names taken from some circumstauco con
nected with the crimes they were expiating.
Sometimes there was a ghastly sort of biiroor
about these names. One, ho. bad murdered
a priest, wjig cAllad '"O Padre," the priest;
another, who had murdered a man for his
money and had found but half a patnea upon
him, was called "Meia Pataca," half a pa
taca, about sixteen cents; another, for a sim
ilar reason, was called. "Quatv-o Vintens,"
four cents.
These are simply Instances of how the
minds of these people dwelt constantly upon
crime, bow they admired crime, and conse
quently gravitated toward it. About their
work in shop or field, the daily bread of their
minds was to thi&k and talk of crime in
every shape that diseased minds and per
verted natures pan conjure it up. One would
entertain his companions by detailing to,
them the story of some crime committed Ly
himself, or of which b? hiul knowledge, whiio
every one listened attentively, like eo many
experts. The story ended, criticism began,
and each one would indicate what be consid
ered the weak points in the plan and its exe
cution, and would suggest improvements
here and there. One etca-y always led to
another, olid, &s might bo expected, minds
accustomed to this highly seasoned food sooq
rejected all other. "The Couvict Island of
