HE UNITED
States cruiser Min
neapolis, which has
recently been com
pleted in the ship
yard of Cramp fc
Sons, and tried off
Cape Ann, Jnly 14,
has proved the fast
est warship in the
world. The aver
age speed on the
trial trip was 3.(13 nautical miles an
hour. The hiphest speed for eight
consecutive miles was an average of
i". i'i miles an hour. The contract
placed the cost of the vessel at S2,6'.t0,
H)0. It was authorized by act of con
gress Marh 2. 1S"J1, and accepted by
the shipbuilders Aug-. 31. As a
premium of 50, 0(H) was offered for
each quarter of a mile made in excess
of :.'l knots an hour, the builders have
earned 8-.00.000 above the amount
of the
contract The dimensions

ia iiKmber, double-ended, and placet
in water-tipht compartments. Thes
boilers have a grate surface of l,4.f:
square feet and a heating surface of
4 1 Vt feet. In order to produce the
maximum horse-power these furnaces
must turn into steam 3-10,000 pounds
of water an hour, or more than two
and one-tuird tons a minute. For this
nineteen tons of coal an hour are re
ijuired. The coaling capacity of the
vessel :s 2. 200 tons, a supply large
enough to enable it to cruise two
thirds the distance around the world
at a moderate soeed. The experiment
of using triple screws having proved
a success on the sister F.hip Columbia,
have been applied to the Minneapolis
with more satisfactory results. The
screws are placed on the middle line,
as in s'cgle screw vessels, and the
other two under tiie counters. Their
pitch is to altered as to add to the
speed of the vessel. The Minneapolis,

comparatively light. It consists of

Hot Fire.
In the combustion of fuel for boilers
it is demonstrated, though not in ac
cordance with common supposition,
that coke is better than coal, and char-
i eoal better still for producing intense
lbeat because of the larger percentage
-of carbon they contain. The point in
tais case is tnus explained: Carbon
requires for its combustion two pounds
of oxygen to one pound of carbon, and
hydrogen about eight parts of oxygen
to one of hydrogen combustion being
simply the uniting of a substance with
the oxygen of the air in such a way
that they produce heat: in the case of
.arbon, then, the combination of two
xmnds of oxygen and one pound
carbon produces carbonic
gas. and the production
Tl4,.VJO heat units, and the combina
tion of two parts -f carbon and two
iarts of oxygen produces only 8,800
"ieat units for the two pounds of ear
on, against 14.500 heat units for one
'ond of carbon where the proper
ulv of air is at hand. The action
rises, it is thought, from the fact
kat when the air passes through the
a.el it takes the proper combustion,
at, passing further on through the
d of fuel, takes up an additional
Cerement of carbon, and the heat
erated by the perfect combustion

Harriet Beerher Stowe'a Age.
Harriet Iteecher Stowe was nomi
nally S2 years of age on Thursday,
June 21; but according to the Unrtford
Times the was really 33. It explains
tbe matter thus: "The Times has once
brf ore stated that the biographies and
encyclopedias are all in error as to the
year of her birth, and also concerning
';he tatal year of Henry Ward Boecher.
Both are published as having- been
born one year later than they actually
were. A consultation of the old
family Bible' settles it Mrs. Stowe
was born in 18 11 and Henry Ward in
lsl3. The famous author is in her
customary state of good physical
health and is as cheerful as ever,
though her mental state is and has
been for several years not what it used
to be" .
I-Mly Maria Forester.
A correspondent of a London news
paper calls attention to the recent
death in England of the woman who
sent Florence Nightingale to the Cri
mea. She was Lady Maria Forester,
youngest daughter of the Earl of Ro
den, who found herself, in 1852, the
childless widow of Major Charles For
ester, of the Twelfth lancers. In the
winter of 18."ii-55, while her brother
was serving before Sebastopol, she got
stirred up about the coudition of the
wounded, determined to have some
thing done, and was directed to Mise-4
igntinarale as the httest person to
do it She went to see her. with the
result that Miss Nightingale vent to
Crimea, and the modern system of

The treatment to which the Jews in

deep indignation ' and sympathy

Krauskoph is a man of strong convic

and it is hoped by those he represents
that he will be able to impress the
Russian authorities with the desira

opinion by an abandonment of the
alleged cruel persecutions of the
Hebrew subjects of the empire.
A Droll Wedding-.
A temarkably droll wedding, at the
registrar's office, Bristol, attracted an
immense crowd not long since. The
bride, a prim spinster, fair and 40,
pushed into the ofiice of the aston

in which was the bridegroom, a man
of 4-', so crippled in both legs that
from birth he had not been able to
walk. He was permitted to remain in
the perambulator during the custom

and when the bride again appeared,
pushing the perambulator containing
her husband, the crowd wished them
joy and gave them plenty of rice.

THE FASTEST WAE VESSEL IN
THRIFT OF UNION MEN.
When They Go On Strike the Fablir
Does Not Feed Them.
The report of the Chicago Central
Ilelief association to the Civic Federa
tion shows that the cash contributions
amounted to S135.2C8. 34. This money
was used to feed, clothe and house un
employed men last winter, says the
Record. The total number of meals
furnished from the three kitchens was
462,094. making an average of 1,021 a
day. The total number of days when
the men taken care of by the associa
tion worked on the streets was eighty
three and the average number of men
working each day was 2,275. Each
man worked an average of three
hours and thirty-five minutes a day.
The association issued in ninety-four
days, 232,Otit; lodging checks to regular
lodging houses and theie were S.052 or
ders issued on the warehouses for fam
ily supplies. In addition to the lodg
ing checks there were 13,012 lodgings
given by missions, and during the
winter 41,327 men found lodging in
police stations. Tbe following sug
gestions are given in the report:
"'lhere is a general feeling of im
patience among persons who are com
monly generous givers to the unfor
tunate over tbe present industrial
situation, complicated as it is by
strikes with the consequent idleness.
In view of this the following remarks
seem necessary: Workingmen who
strike are. for the most part mechan
ics or skilled laborers who usually re
ceive good wages and lay by money
for an idle day. When they become
needy they can usually borrow of
their associates who have been more
thrifty or who are under less expense
or the unions care for them until
work is resumed. But few union men
apply for relief. The majority of
those who apply for and receive help
from charitable institutions or who
worked for the Central Relief associa
tion during the winter of 94 were men
who have no trade or are not weU
fitted to make a living at times when
there is threat depression in business.
Many of them come to the front for
assistance every winter, and they
were predominant in the work of the
Central Relief association the last
winter.

THE NAVAL SALUTE.
IT IS A VERY OELICATE AFFAIR
TO TOY WITH.
Acting; Bear Admiral Stanton Who
Salited the Rebel Flag of Brazil
May Be Forever Disgraced by Coort
Blartial Judgement.
N THE OCCASION,
during his com
mand of the Euro
pean squadron
after the civil war,
Admiral Worden,
the hero of the
Monitor and Merri
mac episode, was
fired upon by a
Turkish fort as he
was steaming by it
in his flagship. In an instant the
order was given to beat to quarters,
and had the shot been repeated, a
broadside from the flagship would
have been the answer to this distinct
challenge of war. Fortunately, in
stead of the expected demonstration
of hostility, an apology was received
from the Turkish oflicials for what
had been tbe blunder of some sub
ordinate. This incident shows how ready a
trained navy officer is to act with
promptness upon occasion, and how
necessary it is for him to deal with a
prima facie case without waiting for
investigations or instructions. Our
officers afloat have often won the ap
plause of the country by the readiness
they have shown to act upon their
own judgment in a difficult situation,
and there are not wanting examples
of a disposition to hold them to
a strict accountability when the
situation they have created has
proved embarrassing to the gov
ernment The Ingraham-Koster af
fair and the Mason and Slidell im
broglio are cases in point The action
of Commodore and Acting Rear Ad
miral Stanton in saluting the flag and
returning the visit of the rebel Bra
zilian Admiral Mello is to be consid
ered in the light of naval training and
navy precedents. In the absence of
proof to the contrary, it may be as
sumed that an officer of his experience
will be able to offer satisfactory ex
planation of his conduct when the
zase is on trial. The matter of salutes
between vessels of different nations is
regulated by international agreement,
and our navy regulations require offi
cers to observe certain rules "in which
the maritime powers generally have
concurred." These rules direct the
prompt return of visits and salutes
from foreign war vessels, and when
the officer extending the courtesy is of
or above the grade of captain the flag
officer must return the visit in person.
It is true the navy regulations forbid
the firing of a salute "in honor of any
nation or of any official of any nation
not formally recognized by the gov
ernment of the United States," but
will it not be difficult to show that
Commodore Stanton has violated this
regulation? It is to be remembered
that our officers in Chilian waters
were subjected to the harshest criti
cism because they did not show more
favor to what proved in the end to be
the winning faction in the Chilian
civil war.
"They who in quarrels interpose
must often wipe a bloody nose," says
Hudibras, and the perils that environ
those who interpose in domestic diffi
culties of any sort are well known.
They will be damned if they do, and
they will be damned if they don't It
is with the Brazilian nation that we
must deal in the end, and possibly
Commodore Stanton on the ground
may have been as well situated to
ACTING REAR ADMIRAL STiXTOX.
determine as those at home how far
the circumstances required him to fol
low the strict letter of the regula
tions. The instinct of fraternity between
navy men, without regard to nation
ality, is undoubtedly strong, and this
has been intensified by the incidents
of our recent centennial parade, in
which Admiral Mello took part It is
not impossible that this may have had
its influence upon the action of the
acting rear-admiral A striking in
stance of this fraternity is found in
the action of Commodore TatnalL
then of our service and later a con
federate rear-admiral, in joining in a
British attack on Chinese forts. The
exclamation of "Old Tat" on that oc
casion, "Blood is thicker than water,"
still rings in the ears of Englishmen.
If Admiral Stanton is declared
guilty a disgraceful dismissal from
the navy will follow.

MOUSE AND LION IN ONE CAGE.
They Scared Karh Other in Turn I'ntll
the I.lttle Animal Kcape:l.
One day a keeper wishing to test
the affection popularly supposed to
exist between a mouse and a lion put
a mouse in the cage of a lull-grown
Nubian lion, says McClure's Maga
zine. The lion saw the mouse be
fore be was fairly through the bars,
and was after him instantly. Away
went the little fellow, scurrying:
acros the floor and squeaking in
fright When he had gone about
ten feet the lion sprang, lighting a
little in front of him. The mouse
turned, and tbe lion sprang again.
This was repeated several times, the
mouse traversing a shorter distance
after each spring of the lion. It was
demonstrated that the lion is too
quick for the mouse, at least in a
large cage- Finally the mouse stood
still, squealing and trembling. The
lion stood over, r-tudying him with
interest Presently he shot out his
big paw and brought it down directly
on the mouse, but so gently that the
mouse wa. not injured in the least,
though held. fast between the claws.
Ihen the lion played with him in
the most extraordinary way. now
lifting his paw and letting the mouse
run a few inches, then stopping him
asrain as before. Suddenly the mouse
changed his tat-tics and. instead of
running when the lion lifted his paw,
sprang into the air straight at the
lion's head. The lion, ten ified.
gave a great leap back, striking-the
bars with all his weight and shaking
the whole floor. Then he opened
his great jaws and roared and roared
again, while the little mouse, still
squealins. made his escape. Ot the
two the mouse was the more fright
ened. It is a fact well known in all
manageries that a mouse will fright
en an elephant, more than a locomo
tive. Let one appear in an elephant's
stall and the elephant, his mountain
of flesh quivering, his trunk lashing
the air, will trumpet in abject ter
or; and he will not recover for an
hour afterward. The trainers sa
that what the elephant fears is that
the mouse will run up his trunk.
There is a tradition that a rod use
really did this in one instance while
the elephant was sleeping and caused
the elephant such intense pain that
he had to be killed.
COTTONSEED OIL.
Tiir Maiiy I im to Which ThU YalnabU
1 rodurt Ih Now 1'nt.
It is astonishing to what a mul
titude of uses cottonseed oil is now
put . ana how enormously the de
mand for it has grown, and that
makes it surprising that the merits of
thts oil were not discovered sooner.1
said C. J. Johnson, of Atlanta, to the
Globe-Uernocrat man. "For cen
turies this important part of the
cotton crop (the seed), except what
was used for planting, was either
thrown away as waste, used for en
riching the soil or fed to cattle.
Only of late years was the mercantile
value of the oil discovered. It de
veloped very rapidly. In two or
three years mills for crushing the
seed and rendering the oil sprang up
all over the South, and the new in
dustry increased, until now I believe
the cotton seed oil trust is second
only to the Standard oil trust in cap
ital and magnitude of its operations.
At first the product was modestly
used for cooking purposes in place
of lard, but its sphere was very soon
enlarged. Its value as a lubricating
oil was soon discovered, and it would
be hard to tell in how many ways it
is used now. There is a large market
for the seed after the oil is extracted,
too. It is sold in the shape of cot
ton seed oil cake and meal for cat
tle food. The oil has become an
article of great commercial import
ance, and it is shipped to Europe in
large quantities. A movement is on
foot to export it in bu!k like pe
troleum. The first vessel has recent
ly been launched, built for the pur
pose. It has a capacity for iiOO.OJ:) j
gallons of oil. besides other cargo.
It is built of steel. It is almost
superfluous to add that it is in the
service of the American cotton seed
oil company.

A Burning Mountain.
At Wingen. in New South Wales,
about 'JO) miles from Sydney, is a
burning mountain, one of the most
remarkable sights to be seen in Aus
tralia. It is 1820 feet in height and
is supposed to be a large coal seam
which has in some unaccountable
way become ignited, and has been
burning for many years, certainly
long before the advent of the white
man in this portion of the colony.
The course of the fire can be traced
a considerable distance by the nu
merous depressions or ground
chasms occasioned by the falling in
of the ground from beneath which
coal has been consumed. Smoke is
continually issuing from the sides
of the mountain, and in the vicinity
of these openings the surface is bot,
and has a dry, parched appearance,
while sticks thrown into these open
ings are readily ignited.
