"Slio needs neither colliers nor coating

occasion wises , elm cnn overtake with

Six Bitch shli would exterminate the
commerce of niiy country under the

tion. "
So wrote Secretary Tracy of the tfrorft.
trlili ) screw cruiser which ia to have hop
preliminary trhifs during the coming
week ; and again lie wrote that she
would hnvo " 11 ECU speed and n coal en
durance hitherto unknown in ships of
war. She will he a match for the most
nwlft transatlantic liner allout today.
This vuiuol in absolutely without paral
lel among the war solpH of the world. "
Naturally the speed trial of such a craft
IH of exceptional importance , say the
Now York Sun. while in a few weeks we
bhall have the launch of a ncconl : of the
typo , making two out of the half dozen
which would ho capahlc. according to
Mr. Tracy , of sweeping the commerce of
any nation from the ocean , and thus ,
under tlu present conditions of commerce -
morco protection , "absolutely preclude
an attack from a commercial Htatc , however -
over threatening In its demands , power
ful in its armored licet , or aggressive in
ita foreign policy. "
Her ICnoriiionit Kiiglnox.
The most interesting feature of the
machinery , tuken together , of course ,
with its enormous horse power , is its
system of trlple-e'xpanslon engines driv
ing three fecrows , the third berow being
placed between uiul below the other two
and fifteen feet further aft. This is tlio
Ilrst appearance of triple propellers in
our navy , although they arc well known
in others. The ICainorin Augusta , which
was one of the very finest vessels at the
naval review in Now York harbor , rank
ing , jiorhapH , highest among the pro
tected embers , if the Hlnko bo reckoned
among arnforcd vessels , had thrcQ pro
pellers. The Dupny do Lome , another
big cruiser of ( i100 , tons , is also provided
with three , ns several Italian torpedo
cruisers have been. Hence Chief Eng
ineer Melville , in adopting the system
for our navy , was not making an untried
experiment. Indeed , not only had these
foreign vessels been fitted with triple
. screws , but the proper mode of arrang-
j ing them had been carefully studied out
and settled upon. Tlio French , in their
Bteam launch Curpo , found that if the
three propellers wore placed abreast
the center one lost oilicioncy ; and this
is how the latter caino to bo placed aft
in the Dupuy do Lome as in the Colum
bia.
bia.But
But with us the choice of three screws
was a necessity. The aggregate in
dicated horse power needed to give the
Columbia the high speed fixed upon was
at least 21,000 , , or very much more than
anything attempted in our navy. It
was four times UB great as the Chicago's ,
throe times as great as the San FYun- ,
through each of two shafts , and it was
not clear or probable that so big a forg
ing of the highest character could bo
hud in this country , at least without a
great delay. The law required that the
vessel should bo built wholly of Ameri
can material. By dividing the power
among three shafts this difllculty
vanished.
Will Pntrnl the Globe.
Again , as it is possible to disconnect
any one of the three screws and leave it
free to revolve , with very slight resist
ance to the progress of the ship , she can
bo driven very economically. She can
work with one engine at its full power
with one screw , making fifteen knots , or
she can run with two engines and two
screws , making eighteen to nineteen
knots , when all three engines are not re
quired. It is also evident that this
triple reliance is an additional safe
guard against the vessel's being loft
helpless on the water.
Still another point of importance in
the Columbia is her maximum coal
capacity , which is 2,000 tons , and this ,
at ton knots an hour , will give her an
endurance , according to Mr. Tracy , of
10t ; days , or a radius of action of 25,520 ,
miles , while Mr. Wilson reckons still
more.
This is a matter of great consequence
to a commerce destroyer. As for her
armament , while not very heavy , it is
wholly adequate to her purpose for it in
cludes one o-inch , two ( i-inch , and eight
4-inch guns , with a dozen ( ! -poundors ,
four J-poundors , and four Catlings in
the secondary battery. She has also six
torpedo tubes.
The Columbia will huvo a sustained
sea speed of twenty-one knots , without
harder conditions In her llro rooms
than tlioi-o of an ordinary Atlantic liner ,
and a maximum , it is believed , of
twenty-two knots. She has a heavy
armor deck running fore and aft , anil
covering magazines , engines , boilers
und Blearing gear. It is four inches
thick on the slopes and two and ono-
hulf inches elsewhere , and these further
facts uro given by Mr. Wilson , lately
the chief constructor :
Di'tiitl * of tlio Oonitriirtloii.
Tlio vltnl portions of the vessel being pro
tected by mi-armored deck , the space bo-
twuuu this ik'clc mid the RUU deck will bo
minutely subdivided by coal banners and
utoro rooms ; hi mlclltion to thcsu a coder-

The coul capacity is very Inrgo , reach I ni :
2,000 tons ; at ton knots per hour this will
Klvo an endurance of loy dtiyn , or 11 radius of
action of JltVJlU knots.
In itppuaninc'o the vessel resembles closely
an ordinary merchantman , the sides beliiR
nearly pleur of projections or spoiisons whlcli
ordinarily appear on vessels of war ; she will
have two u IK mil masts , but will huvo no mili
tary tops on them , however.
The function nf the vessel is to destroy the
commerce of an enemy ; therefore , her gen
eral nppearanco Is such as to enable her to
tot withiu rnugo before her character is dis
covered.
At u whole , this vessel is the latest ideao :
n powerful , economical , protected commerce
destroyer.

The AccoininoiUiliic Illrd 1'rlond of the
Crocodile.
The current number of the Ibla con-
: ulii9 an oxlrenielv Intornstinp commun-
cation by Mr. J. M. Cook on the sub
net of the old world story of the bird
vhluh Is sixld to attend on the crocodile ,
ind to enter Us mouth for the purpose
> f either picklnp its leoth or removing
, ho leeches from its mouth. The latter
s the older version , nnd was told by
lIcrodotiM as follows "All other birds
ind buns U nvold him ( the crocodile ) ; but
' 10 is at pence with the trochllos because
10 receives benefit from that bird. For
vhon the crocodllo gets out of the water
m Innd und then opens its jaws , which
t does commonly toward the west , the
.rochtlos outer * Ita mouth nnd swallows
the leeches ; the crocodile Is so well
ilcasod with this service that It never
: iurts trochiloa. " Numberless authors
: invo repented the story which was am-
) Hled ( and oddly distorted by Pliny and
, ho mcdljoval nuthorn who followed him
but nmnng modern oriillliolo ista , at
illovonts , It has received but little ere-
leiico , thotiyh it Is mentioned by many
of them.
Mr. Cook has , however , thrown new
lit on the question , and has supplied
us with direct ovldenco that n bird ,
which ho identifies as tlio sjiur-winfrod
: > lever , docs enter the crocodile's mouth.
It npponr.s that in the year 1S70 ho
noticed some crocodiles ami several of
the birds "which are called by the
natives of the Nile valley crocodile
litrds , " on a very lar o sandbank near
Dorr , the capital of Lower Nubia , and
with his brother-in-law , the
Into Mr , , T. E. Hedges , deter
mined to watch them. The following is
his iiccount'in a somewhat condensed
form , of what happened : "For this pur
pose , during the dark hours , wo had a
small pit dug on the western side of the
largo sandbank in question , and about
the poop of day the following mornim.
wo ensconced ourselves in the pit.
* * * Wo watched patiently until
about noon , when two largo crocodiles
came out of the water on to the bank ,
and apparently were soon asleep. Sev
eral croeodilo birds commenced flitting
over thorn , and through our Hold glasses
wo watehed one bird und saw it go up to
n crocodile , apparently asleep , which
opened its jaws.
"Tlio bird hopped in , and the croco
dile closed Its jaws. In what appeared
to bo a very short time , probably not
more than a minute or two , the croco
dile opened its jaws , and wo saw the
croeodilo bird go down to the water's
edge. As the sandbank was , I should
say , at least halt a milo across , nnd the
bird's back was turned toward us , we
could not see whether the bird vomited
in the water or drank ; but In the course
of a few seconds it returned to the croco
dile , which opened its mouth again , and
the bird again entered. The mouth was
cloned , and in a short time was opened
again for the bird to eomo out , and the
same operation was repeated at the
river bank. Wo t-aw tlio same bird en-
.ter , the crocodile's mouth three tiinQar
anil on three occasions run to the \vater
t.0 either vomit or drinE" " "Eventually
Ml' . .Cook-shot * wo of the birds , which ,
SS O lTavo said , Tie has identified as the
BpVu'- winged plover. In conclusion ho
tolls' us that "ho never knew that the
fact of the crocodile bird entering the
crocodile's mouth was seriously
doubted" until a conversation which ho
recently with Dr. Sclater and Mr. Seo-
bohiu.

BEADY FOB THE FIGHT.
A Glimpse of the Vint Armed Camp of
Kurojio.
What n wonderful spectacle it is that
Europe now presents , says tlio London
Spectator. Her population claims a sort
of monopoly in civil ixation , yet outside
of England every nation has reached the
limit of its endurance in preparing for a
war which nevertheless does not arrive.
Tlio surplus energy and money of the
whole continent is devoted to keeping
up a bccnrity which is nowhere felt to bo
quite snfllclent yet is nowhere overtly
threatened which , indeed , is guaran
teed by profubo professions of peaceable
intentions.
The work of civilization goes on , every
day records some advance in science erin
in human comfort , the tellers are daily
exerting themselves to secure moro leis
ure , bettor housing and pleasanter food ,
and yet the nations with one consent are
converting themselves into food for
powder. It is as if the professor and
the merchant and the laborer , while
strenuously going on with their business
and eager to derive more comfort from
it , were all agreed that they must sloop
in ijlato armor. It would bo almost
comic were it not BO terrible , and ns yet
there is not a sign that we are arriving
at the end of the situation. People say it
must end some day. but it has gone
on getting worse for twenty years ; and
though It cannot got worse still , because
men nnd money are nliko exhausted ,
there Is no proof that it will not last for
twenty years further yet.
There is not a stateHinnn in Europe
who could draw up , much less curry , a
project of general disarmament. There
is not a popular leader in Europe who
makes of disarmament an earnest cry ,
though the socialists in their four of
repression would do it if they could ;
and wo question If there is u nation
in Europe which would consent to
bo disarmed. That is certainly not
n triumph of human wisdom ; and yet
the nations are not moro furious than
usual , nre notunreasonablo , aronot even
indisposed to work through the methods
of diplomacy. They are not even , in a
way , unfriendly , for HOinothlng "Inter
national" is arranged every week , and
of congresses with all Europe repre
sented in them there Is literally no end.
Still the nations lie down in armor
nnd HBO up piritols in hand nnd before
they begin the day's labor look first to
nee what the armed burglar may bo at.
What the end may t > o or can bo wo know
no moro than the simplest , but of this
wo are very sure , that no spectacle al
once so unaccountable and HO Fad lias
ever yet been presented to the historlnn
with ovod.

"There is n man living on a claim near

"Less than n year ago ho took out n

eye upon the land adjoining his own ,
where an old frontiersman lived alone
with his daughter.
"Tho shrewd easterner gained the
favor of the old man by winning his way
into his daughter's alTections and afterward - '

"Ho then put his father-in-law into

OLD NEVADA DAYS.
Recollections of ArlriuiiR Ward nnd .Mark
Txvnlu.
Artomus had a favorite trick that he
loved to indulge in , and out of which ho
appeared to get a good deal of congenial
fun , writes Dan do Quille in the Cnll-
fornian. This was the disbursing of a
rigmarolo.cf'nonsense in a solemn and
iliipressive manner , as though he was
saying something of unusual weight and
importance. It was a game of mystifi
cation in which ho greatly delighted.
At n dinner given him by leading Com-
stockers at the International , hotel ,
Ward played his trick on Mark Twain ,
all present being let into the secret be
forehand. He began an absurd exposi
tion of the word genius , upon the con
clusion of which the embarrassed Mark
was obliged to acknowledge his inability
to comprehend the speaker's meaning.
"Indeed ! " exclaimed Artemus , and for
half a minute ho gazed at Mark with a
face in which a shade of impatience
began to mingle with astonishment and
compassion. Then heaving a sigh , ho
said : "Well , perhaps I was not suf
ficiently explicit. What I wished to sny
wns simply that genius is n sort of illum
inating quality of the mind inherent in
those of constitutionally inllammnblo
nnUires , nnd whoso conceptions nro not
of that ambiguous nnd disputable kind
which may bo said "
"Hold on , Artemus , " interrupted
Mark , "It is useless for you to repeat
your definition. The wino or the brandy ,
or the whisky or some other thing has
gone to my head. Toll it to mo some
other time , or , better still , write it down
for mo and I'll study it at my leisure. "
"Good ! " cried Artemus , his face beam
ing with pleasure. "I'll give it to you
tomorrow in black and white. I have
been much misunderstood in this matter
and it is important that I should sot my
self right. You see that to the eye of a
person of a warm and inllammablo
nature and in whose self luminous mind
ideas arise that are by no means con
fined to the material which conception
furnishes , but may be "
"For God's sake ! " cried Mark ; "if you
go at that again you'll drive mo mad ! "
The general burst of laughter which
followed this fooling and Ijnlf-nngry pro
test , made it pl.aln to Mark that Arto-
miiB had been sot to work on him with
malice aforethought , and that all pres
ent were in the plot nnd had bi'ou amus
ing themselves at his expense.

The rail lo market tbl < week has boon very
uneven ami , I'onslilerlnc the smallness of the
supplies , decidedly unsatisfactory. Kven ri
diculously light leeeluts for this season of the.
year failed to stlmiilntu trade to any great ov
tent. The siii'culatlvo element was almost
entirely lacking , whllu Iho disposition among
the dressed beef men was to cotillno tholr pur-
chutes to their actual necessities.
The week opened out with a very mean mar
ket Monday , but with hardly iMiouuli cattle
after that to keep ono house running under
ordinary circumstances , there was a gradual
Improvement , and Viy Friday prices for both
beef .steers and butchers' Mock had recovered
Ifictn'JUc of the deellno , but today there was
another slump uml the close of the week llmls
prices little If any better than the close of the
week previous.
Although the fresh receipts , about 2,200
bead , were only fair , they were the heavies ! of
the week , Of the lofi eats received 14 ,
or nearly 300 head , were Kansan City Texans ,
billed direct to Cudahy. Offerings , bow-
over , were almost entirely natives ,
among them some very cholco beeves.
The market opened out very nearly stead v on
the best ripe cattle , some 1.3H7 and 1,471 II ) .
beeves bringing $1.00 and $4. HO. There was
no outside demand worth mentioning and the
Inquiry from local homos was de
cidedly Indifferent on nivouiit of thu ample
oil'erlngs and the unfavorable tone to
( astern advices. Prices ruled unevenly lower ,
opinions varying from lie to2i ! ) : . Dealers weiu
generally looking for liberal supplies and a
lower market In Chicago Monday , and were
generally disposed to sell hero at a sacrlllco
rather than take the risk of having their
enitlu shipped tu bo In Chicago Monday.
The result was a general "culling loose" and
by noon the supply was very generally out. of
Ilrst Ininds. I'a I c to very good 1.200 to 1,30(1- (
Ib. hooves sold all the way from J3.li3 to $4.30 ,
with fair to good 1,050 to 1,100-11) . stoer.s lit

half fat. stock at from ji : C'J down to $3.
There WIH.IIu ; ! ; , , advance m cow values
. K'tiKy. und with limited supplies and a very
fair demand that advance was well sustained
today , tiood fat cows sold at $2.7f > , with thin
westerns as low as 91 , Calves went at from
J3 to $1,00 , or about steady prices. There
was no particular ch.'iuge In rough stock. A
big bunch of stags brought $3.40 , or about as

lately.
The feeder trailo has been good all week.
Prices ruled Rtrongcr today and fair to good
stock Is In active demand at prices 30c to OOc
better than ton days ago.
Hods The oxtremo' weakness In the hog -
manot can only bo attributed to the con
tinued stringency In the money market
Under ordinary circumstances tno present
moderato supplies would Insure steady
prices or an advance , hut. a light
money market prevents packers from
taking advantage of the big margin there Is ( n
hogs at present prices. Most Of lhcrirsiy : tliero' .
Is less money In provisions , but tlioy prefer
to do tholr business "on the board , " as It requires - 1
quires less margin and the prollts are about as
Hiiro.
This 1ms boon a week of continuous decline.
Values have dropped GOc since Monday and
tlio market closes very weak.it the decline.
Thoru Is no notleoablo change In the situation ,
and , asldu from the condition of money mat

has been ipiltc a reduction In the marketing
of hogs the past week. Packing returns
Indicate a total of 100,000 , compared
with 240,000 the preceding week , and

pared with last year. " Itecelpts today fell
more than l.OJO short of last Saturday's
run , but the sentiment , was extremely
bearish and sellers bad to submit as gracefully
ns they could to a further reduction In prices
