BRI m 1(1 MISS TIIF IKFIII IN I 4Hft$$$$$$tt4$$$$$$$ $$ A submarine boat linn at Inst been itv kontetj which disposes of tho question of ower nml epepd by a novel method, jlllthorto oxperlincntH In this lino havo (bocn met by tho difficulty of placing powerful engines In a small compass, where there is llttlo air, and room, and Hvhero tho disposition of tho emoko has created serious obstacles to completo submersion for any considerable length of Unto. Now, howevor, not only has a sub marine boat boon Invented which will, as Its Inventor claims, propel lteolf 'through tho wntor with less waoto of lower than any boat hitherto designed, but which is alleged to be nblo to ac complish tho voyago from Europo to America in tho incredibly short tlmo of twenty-eight hours. That is tho into of speed which Mr. Apostoloff, a Russian electrical engin eer residing in London, claims to havo boon doyolopcil by tho novel suhmarlno boat built by him after long study and at much expense Tho craft which ho has built differs from all othors of lta ,hlnd In th6 process by which it is shovod through tho wator. Hitherto ail experimenters with sub marine boats havo adoptod the screw principle and tho craft which they Iiavo dcslgnod woro, in respect of loco motion, no different from tho ordlnnry lug to bo scon on tho North River. All uniformly adopted tho stern screw, which has not boon Improved In nny Important particular bIuco It was de signed by Ericsson. Placed on a submarine boat, how ever, the- stern scrow developed weak nesses which wcro not manifest when it woa applied to the ordinary craft ithat float on tho surface. In a subnin trlno boat tho ontlro surface of tho jstructuro offers friction and resistance to tho water, whereas In a floating boat lonly tho submerged parts offer such re sistance. A submarine boat of 100 tons dis placement offers thus moro than thrco .times tho frlctlonnl surfaco of a boat of similar capacity floating in tho ordi nary manner. At tho samo tlmo when ttho stern screw is applied, thero Is no corresponding incrcaso of power. Mr. Apostoloff Iiub mot this dlfllculty by entirely dispensing with tho stern rrew. He has mado his boat tho screw Itself. Ho has adopted the principle of tho boring worm. Tho boat which ho. has ideslgned worms its way through the Crater as truly as tho ship's worm 'orlcs from end to end of a plank by Wiling its body into a boring ap paratus. TJioro is no stern scrow in the sub marlno boat which Mr. Apoetoloff has (designed, In Its placo there only ap noars a hugo ruddor, capablo of ralsiug or lowering tho boat in tho wator, and br deflecting it from sldo to Bide, as the steersman may wish. About two-thirds of tho outside wurfaco of the boat revolves around n khaft which runa from end to end of jtho crafr To this outeldo surface a sciow flange Is fastened. Thus, from tho bow to a point con Blderably nft of midships, tho oxposed surface of Uio boat acta as a hugo pro polling Bcrow. Tho entlro boat works forward or backward, with aardly any vrasto of powor, as truly na if it wero working in a groove specially cut to fit it. At the point where tho rovolvlng sur face of tho boat termlinttcs tho fixed portions of its body commences. Tho revolving parts of tho boat constitute Jmoro thnn one-half of its exposed sur face. ' But It Is only tho outsldo shell that revolves. Inside tho shell is tho real Tbody structure- of tho boat, and that re mains fixed, hanging on its shaft in a permanent position, The machinery which turns the for tward part of the boat is stationed aft, but the wholo Inside of tho structure Is open to tho submarine navigators, who xaay walk from end to end of their strange, craft without discomfort. Tho principles of compressed air, of water condensation, of smoko combustlou and of economy of fuel are adopted in this strange craft much as they have been by other experiment? rs Inthe Bame line. It Is claimed by tho Inventor that "whero tho ordinary submarine boat using a stern scrow would make a Jour ney of fifty mllee beneath the ocean (a thing that fow of them have succeeded in dotng), his boat could accomplish the Journey from Europe to America In the same time. Mr. Apostolitf doea ot claim-that his boat can sta under water much' longer than-other subma rine boats, but ho Claims that ft can outstrlpnr craft lbrthoklud yet do- felgneQ, MT t'lwi Jtha. lime will cpmo in JUST IWFHTY-FlfiHT HOIS. S V B no a moann of wnifaro by every civil ized nation on earth. The posslblll I'8 which this Invention opens up arc Interesting and romantic. It is claimed by tho inventor that so well has ho conomlzod force, wrecka of trcasuro ships lying nt tho greatest depths aro within cany reach of Mb craft. But a fow mlnutos, he snys, would bo required to descend from tho surface and steam to tho bottom of the ocean In its deepest parts. Thero wrecks might bo oxplorcd, strange fish cap tured and now forms of submarine life discovered By moans of electric light furnished from dynamos connected with lite en gine, tho bottom of the ocean might bo Illuminated not only nt night but in places too deep for tho daylight to penetrate Tho submarine explorer might Btop from this boat to tho bot tom of tho ocoan, carrying in an alumi num caso strapped to his shoulder a supply of compressed air BUfllclcnt to last him Bovoral hours. This aluminum caeo might, through ft small tubo, supply power to an air gun specially designed for submarlno use Thus a now form of hunting might bo provided. Tho submarlno explorer, his feot wolghtcd down with lead, his head en cased in a diver's helmet properly sup plied with valves to permit of tho es capo of tho vitiated air, might roam for hours on tho bottom of the occnu, noleolessly approaching tho strange an imals supposed to inhabit tho greatest depths and d'spatching them by means of this newly designed weapon. Mr. Apostoloff says that tho after part of his boat can bo supplied with a great pano of thick pinto glass, ca pablo of resisting high water com pression. When tho boat has descended to a great depth and it la desired to bco what tho passing submarlno land Bcupo may Bhow, tho covering may be slid back from this pano of glas3, and tho cxplorore may look out upon tho novel slghtB presented by theno unex plored regions. Comfortably seated in easy arm chairs, tho navigators of his craft can touch a button which will throw a flood of electric light through tho thick pano of glass, Illuminating tho ocean's bed at Its greatest depths. TIiub for hours they may, says ho, rccllno at THE SUBMARINE SCREW SHIP AS IT WOULD APPEAR IN MOTION. caso, as it thoy woro In a Pullman car,' and look out upon Btrango, new spectacles that present themselves to their view in rapid succession. Hpro a wreck, thero a great levia than, thon, perhaps, tho Atlantic cablo, again sorao hugo crustacean, may bo presented to tho gaze of tho submarine voyagers using his boat, and he oven claims that priceless pearls may thus bo found and that untold troasuro U within tho eaay reach of the daring navigators. To build and thoroughly equip a boat of this kind will, says Mr. Apostoloff, cost 5100.000. Only a very rich man could afford a pleasure craft of this kind. But it hae been pointed out by the lnveutor that tho possibilities of fame nnd plcaBUro afforded by this means far outstrip any to bo found in other lines of expenditure. The young mil lionaire seeking novol adventure and fame, says Mr. Apostoloff, could And no better means of achiovlng his ends than by tho construction of such a, craft. He might, ho eays, Invito a select company of scientific men and con genial friends for a summer submarine cruise. Tho scientific men could And slrango liew forms of life, and perhaps discover tho missing link so eagerly sought for by Darwin during the voy age of tho Beagle. Tho trip they could subsequently write about, conferring lasting fame upon tholr patron. The latter might arouse himself with his frlonds by tak ing short submarlno hunting trips, find ing over now forms of life to study and secure. The amazing speed which ho snys his boat has dovelopcd will, says tho in ventor, placo tho shoro at all times within easy reach of the ' voyagers. From tho middle of tho Atlantic a run of fourteen hours under water would at any tlmo placo them within a port either in Europe or America, and thiu tho plunging 1,-oat, as its inventor calls it, could at any time bo almost in touch with tho outsldo world. Experiment, pays Mr. Apostoloff, , has convinced him that his boat can navi gate 'ho surface of the seas almost aa qflaklya3 when completely oubmorged. But-he saysoho has- been -specially de- sfgncjftfdr travel bWeath- the, s'urfaac, . "e grasp upon tho surrounding elo ment. NEW USE FOR OLOVCS. Wrist! MHkn Sentimental Tobacet Poactin for t tin Lover. Tho wrists of tho long evening glovct of the knowing aro no longer thrust in to tho ragbag when tho Angers have become Incapacitated for further ser vice. Tho most dainty and unique to bacco pouches aro evolved out of these wrists, and the sentiment which has always attached to milady's glovo lends an added and piquant charm to such n gift. Indeed tho fad for theso tobacco pouches bids fair to outdo all previous souvenirs, and the young man fortu nate enough to receive ono cherishes It with tho most tender pride. They aro, howovor, dollghtfully simple and easy of construction. They mny bo em broidered, painted In wnter colors or left soveroly plain, according to tho de greo of affection with which Bho ro gards Uio proposed recipient of her handiwork. One of tho prettiest Is of whlto kid plentifully besprinkled with violets, tho gloves having graced an especial occasion where tho donor woro violets, tho gift of tho present owner of tho pouch. So much of sentiment, how over, Is not at all a necessary accom paniment of tho souvenir. The top of tho bag has narrow silts cut in It, and through theso slits -ibbon is run around twice, by which tho pouch is drawn together llko an old-fashioned bag or purse. HARD ON CATS. A (Trench Oovnrninniit ComtnWaloner Cenanrra tlio Conduct of omnlnl Cut. Tho French Government has ju3t had occasion to appoint a commission to In quire Into tho grievances of tho cats In its employ. Their report Is nn amus ing exhibition of official stupidity, and will rouse a righteous Indignation In tho bosom of all friends of tho useful mouscr. It appears that cats aro kept in eomo of tho French military maga zines to keep down tho surplus popula tion of rats and mice. Their food is regulatcd by ministerial decree accord- ing to circumstances, nnd at picscnt thero is a regulation In forco author izing an expenditure of 2t, centimes per cat per diem. But this does not seem enough, as tho unfortunate Gov ernmental cats have grown extremely thin, so at last tho Ministry appointed specialists to inquire into the i.mtter. Theso havo gravely reported that "tho cats of tho army aro very slow to ac custom themselves to tho diet pre- scribed by tho Government circular. Thus they seldom eat bread, and never lap up greasy water unless actually driven thereto by tho pangs of hunger, so that they aro dying off or else abaud' onlng the military magazines."

A Story of l'rof. Ilcrkomnr. Hero is a story of Prof. Herkomcr, tho English royal academician, from tho Home Messenger. Tho artist has an old father who lives with him In his splendid homo at Busboy. In his early life he used to model In clay. Ho has tajten to It again; but his fear la that soon his hands will lose their skill, and his works will ehow the marks of Im perfection. It is his ono sorrow. At night he goes to his early rest, and when ho has gone Herkomor, tho talent ed son, goes into the studio, takes up hie father's feoblo attempts and makes the work as beautiful as a;t can make ii. When tho old man comes down in tho morning ho takes the work and looks nt It airfl rubs his hancs and says. "Ha, I can do as well as ever I did." "Why under' the sun does Whimper ly want a -divorce?

Ono of the Iteanlte of the Krakotoo Krnptlon. ' A floating barrier of pumice stone 19 miles long, over 1,000 yards wide and 15 feet deep, closing a seaport to all vcssols as effectually as a boom could do, is not tho sort of thing one Is likely to forgot and yet that was ono of the results of Uio Krakotoa eruption, tho port being Telok Rotoung, in Sunda strnits, says Loiauro Hours. Formed in a few hours, It would almost ncem to bo the supremo effort of nature in tho pumlco-maklng lino were it not that such Immense quantities aro found at tho bottom of the sea a queer placo for pumlco stono. But pumice, when produced, is really heavy. It Is only tho air cavities in it that mako It light and as it floats It becomes water logged and down it goes. Most of tho pumlco wo uso In Europe comca from tho Liparl islands, north of Sicily, "tho homo of Vulcan," whenco Vulcano 13 tho name of ono of them and our "volcano" is descriptive of tho natural foaturo of which it 1b the type. Hore aro tho pumlco quarrlcB at Monte Chirlca and its craters Monto Pclata and Forgla Vocchln where over 1,000 mon are at work In tho narrow tun nels and Ballorles, lighted by clay lamps of antlquo form. Tho whole hlilsido is perforated with groups of theso tunnels, which number between 200 and 300 and are so narrow that tho mon can hardly pass each other in them. And Just as coal is found In beds alternated with sandstono and shalo, bo tho pumlco is in layers be tween hardor lavas and ashes. CAT IN THE PULPIT. I'aitor Caught It by ths Keotc anil t.io Ulier Took It Attiiv. An inqulsltlvo black cat strayed Into tho Bristol Methodist Episcopal church on a recent Sunday evening Just before tho services began, says tho Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. There wero very few people In the church at tho time, but the loud and plaintive mewing of tho stranger al- traded their attention and they watch ed its movements with interest. The animal climbed up Into the choir loft, perched upon tho railing and look ed down upon tho congregation, fter a time several members of tho choir arrived and tho cat scampered away, finally climbing down ono of tho wood en pillars which supported the choir loft and walked down Into tho aisle. Several of the congregation endeav ored to coax tno cat Into their pews, but tho proud pussy Ignored them and with stately dignity climbed up Into tho pulpit and sat on tho bible. When the pastor came in a moment later he found tho cat In possession of tho pul pit, hut tho animal took kindly to the preacher nnd began to purr and arch his back at the latter'a approach. Tho pastor took tho cat by tho back of tho neck and handed It down to an ushor, who carried puss out of the church. rtThIs is a good omen, breth ren," Bald tho pastor and then he went on nnd preached his sermon. Monlcrr lit Work In the Trninv.iul. Captain E. Moss, who recently re turned to London from the Transvaal, tells this story of the monkeya who work for him in the mines: "I havo twenty-four monkeys," said he, "em- ployed about my mines. They do the work of aoven able-bodied men, and it Is no reflection upon tho human la borers to say that they do a class of work a man cannot do as well as they. In many instances they lend valuable aid whero a man is useless. They gather up tho small pieces of quartz that would be passed unnoticed by tho worklngman, and pile them up in llttlo heaps that can easily be gathered up in a shovel and be thrown in the mill. Thoy aro exceedingly adept at catching the little particles, and their sharp eyes never escapo tho very things that tho human eye would pass over. When I went digging gold I had two monkeys that were exceedingly Interesting pets. Thoy woro constantly following me about the mines, and ono day I noticed that they were busily engaged in gath ering up llttlo bits of quartz and put ting them in piles. They seemed to en Joy tho labor very much, and would go to tho mines ovory morning, and work there during tho day. It did not take mo long to-learn their valuo as laborers, and I decided to procure more. So I immediately procured a number, and now have two dozen working dally in and about the mines. It 1b exceedingly Interesting to watch my two pet mon keys teach tho now ones how to work, and still stranger to see how the new corners take to it. They work Just as they please, sometimes going down in to tho mines when they havo cleared up all the debris on the outside. They live and work together without quarrelling any moro than men do. They are quite I methodical In their habits, and go to work and finish up in the samo manner ns human beings would do under Blm ilar circumstances. I I)runUurl In Turkey. This reminds us that tho Turks, who are mentioned occasionally In tho nowspapers, havo a singular manner of regulating drunkenness. If a Turk, overtaken with wine, fall3 down in tho Btreet and Is arrested by tho guard, ho is sentenced to the bastinado; this punishment is repeated ns far as the third offense, after which ho is regard ed as Incorrigible and called "Imper ial drunkard," or "privileged drunk ard." If he Is then arrested, he has only to namo himself, mention his lodging, say ho Is a "privileged drunk ard," ho Is released and sent to fleep upon tle hot ashes pf the baths. Thus does Pouqu'eyUlo Instruct us. But cup pose that tho. privileged drunkard Is suffering from a ami or a numo ana rekrnlnc From tlin Chinese. Tho instinct of the plain people has been right in not calling our oriental visitor "Lee," for, act! tip out his name. nS popularly pronounced, this wily dip lomat hns. in England as well ns here, required English to bo translated to lilm, whereas, it now appears ho has for years past spoken it fluently. This Chinese device of a needless Interpreter is a "first-chop" ono to pain time for piving1 answers without cauHinpr a de lay to bo noticed; tho mnndarian has the tlmo taken in translation for reflec tion, nnd, if further reflection is do sired, ambiguity in interpretation may bo pretended nnd a new form of tho question bo required. And yet men tell us that nothing can now be learned from the Chinese! Time and tho Hour. My doctor said I would die, but Plso'a Cure for Consumption cured mo.
