Au American- Torpedo Bunt.
Onco in a while the defenseless condition
of American sua ports in oass of an invasion
is difcuiMtxl in tlio newspapers. Nothing is
ever dune in the matter, however. Few of
the lea run J writers are even aware that an
American invention has been hanging fire
for several roars which would Le as formid
able a v, t'r. ; i ! for defense as has ever been
construe i' U Cupt. Juhu Ericsson's
torpedo o... ,
THE DEBTllOYER.
The most ponderous and allowed invulner
able war shis in existence are the Italian
Inflexible and Duilio, and the British Thun
derer and Devastation. But against even
these giants a torpedo boat like the De
stroyer would lie as the needle that punc
tures a toy balloon.
The boat has been built. She lies moss
grown and rusty at the dock somewhere
about New York. This is because tho
sapient United States government neglects
to purchase her, or in any wuy to remunerate
her vetorini inventor for his time and
trouble. It will probably be another
Hotchkiss gun case. Certainly, so far as
anything can be judged which has not yet
been put to long-continued actual test, the
nation that should equ:p her ports and fleets
with Destroyers would have a far-reaching
advantage over her opponent.
The Destroyer is a submerged torpedo
boat, which fires a 250-pound explosive shell
under water. The great ironclads are heavily
armor-plated only , above water. If the
plating was carried to tho bottom of tho
ship, below tho water, the weight weuld be
so tremendous as to render the vessel prac
tically useless. The Destroyer's fatal torpedo
sneaks along, ton feet or so under water, and
presently the great ironclad ship thinks Mt.
Vesuvius has opened under her.
The illustration shows the Destroyar's ex
ternal appearance, at the bow. For the mat
ter of that, either end might be the bow, as
she is built aliko at both extremities.
She is 130 feet long, 12 feet wide and 11
feet deep. She lies almost entirely under
the sea, tho water-line being shown where
the dark Hups at the upper edge of the hull
ore seen. The house upon the deck is of iron,
but is in essential part of the vessel. It is
for the temporary shelter of the crew, but
may be all s.iot away, and the action of the
boat be in no way interfered with.
The vessel is wholly of iron. Inside the
hull is a plate-iron mid-deck. The space be
tween this and the upper deck is filled in
with cork and iuflutod air bags. The rudder
is fixed Uwn a stern-jKwt built upon the
keel, and its lop is four feet under water.
The torpedo gun is, however, the object of
most interest. It lies upon the bottom of the
boat, away down between the ribs. The
keel is so narrow and sharp that a bulge
must be built in it, upon the sides, to admit
the gun. This is shown in the illustration.
The torjieuo or explosive shell itself is over
twenty-five feet long and weighs 1,500
pounds. It is fired by electricity. The tre
mendous si) "11 moves through the water for
a distance of 4'K) to 700 feet and bursts
against the hull of tho hostile ship, blowing
her to atoms. It makes no noise or ripple
upon the water, and is therefore all the more
deadly. The black, flat raft, with an iron
house on top, steams swiftly to within a few
hundred feet of the vessel, discharges the
shell and steams away again instantly.
It is difficult to see how she could be easily
harmed by a ship's guns. The sea end of the
gun is clo-ed by a valve, which is opened
when the weapon is read? to bo fired. The
submarine gun can be fitt'd to any ship It
will probably not bo trenching on politics to
hope that the government will yet take hold
of this invention before another nation gtts
it. The inventor, John Ericsson, is now 62
years old.
SiA
CAPT. JOHN ERIC8S0JT.
A marvelous life is his. He bos never
been married, being wedded to mechanical
experiment He lives buried in his work in
an old fashioned bouse in Beach street, New
York city. Hi name is known the world
over in connection with the invention of the
monitor at the time of the late war. Other
nations have adopted the monitor ironclad
pattern in their navies. Besides this, how
ever, the captain has made numerous
other important discoveries. Among the
products 6t his fertile brain are the
caloric engine, the steam fire engine,
various astronomical instruments, and
the first idea of ironcloiT war vessels in
general. Though nearly 83 years old,
he declares he is in the prime of life,
and certainly as far as appearances go he
is. He works as vigorously and with as
much fire and enthusiasm as he ever did.
His brain teems with ideas and plans for
the future. He declares the Destroyer,
shown above, will annihilate any otbtr ves
sel upon the water. Finally, a recent writer
says of him: "He works incessantly and
lives temperately on bread and vegetables."
The Keel Motor Again.
Is there anything in it? Doubtful. Still,
an engineer who professes to have examined
it, writes a communication to The New York
Sun to which he signs his name, and repre
sents it to be the most miraculous motor of
modern times. The motor power, according
to this authority, must be an agency entirely
new to mechanics. This power is evolved by
what Mr. John W. Keely calls an "inter
etheric liberator."
All parts of the machinery were examined
by a committee of disinterested gentlemen.
To evolve the power Mr. Keely uses a mys
terious arrangement of brass globe, and
various glass an! metallic plates and frames.
A disk of steel was called a "wave plate.
There were also two toning forka One was
k M k.-. " ."Ill 1 19
placed near the bra1 globe, the other was
removed with the "wave plate" about twelve
feet away. Keely drew a violin bow across
the tuning forks, and that seemed to liberate
the force, whatever it was. No trace or
steam, ele-tiicity or auy known agency
could (be discovered. But when the iron
machinery connected with the "liberator"
was set in motion, it showed a pressure of
25,000 pounds to the square inch. So it is
said.
At the conclusion of the exhibition a me
chanical enginoer"not Interested financially"
in Keely's schemes, offered a set of resolu
tions which were unanimously adopted.
They declare that ths test had been fair and
wholly successful, and that without under
standing the invention, they gave it as their
judgment that Keely baa discovered a new
force. Moreover, they deemed it an "act of
justice" towards him to make this state
ment. Probably the mechanical engineer
was the writer of the article in The Sun.
Meantime, the proper state of mind in re
gard to this alleged motor seems to be that
of suspended judgment It is the fashion
for the newspapers to pronounce Keely a
gorgeous humbug.
Very probable. So was the inventor of
steam power in his day. When Ben Frank
lin went out to draw electricity from the
clouds with his famous experiment of the
kite aud key, he took his little grandson
along, to pretend he was kite-flying for fun,
so that his neighbors would not laugh at
him. If Keely is humbugging us, we shall
find it out fast enough. No neel, from the
heights of our sujierior wisdom, to pass
judgment on him beforehand,
Ilreail and Honey.
The Agricultural Gazette says that children
would rather eat bread and honey than bread
and butter. One pound of honey will go as
far as two pounds of butter, and has, besides,
tho advantage of being far more healthy and
pleasant tasting. It always remains good,
whilo butter soon becomes rancid. Honey
eaten on wheat bread is very beneficial to
health. It is a common expression that honey
is a luxury, having nothing to do with tho
life-giving principle. This is an error honey
is f oixl in one of its most concentrated forms.
True, it does not odd so much to the growth
of inuscli) as dixs beefsteak, but it does im
part other projierties no less necessary.
l'mts of Interest.
Alabama's coal fields, as yet practically
untouched, are half as largo us those of Eng
land. Lake Mnstassinni, the great btxly of water
newly discovered iu British America, is
probably larger than Lake Ontario. Ex
plorations ou its shores will be completed in
August.
Jamestown, South Australia, has been
changed from an arid desert to an earthly
paradiso iu five years by the planting of
trees in its suburbs and streets. This was
done by the corporation of the town.
A school house iu Brooklyn, called a
"model," has all the desks arranged so that
the light streams over the right shoulders of
the pupils. This is altogether wrong. With
light coming in that direction the shadow of
the right hand will constantly be thrown
upon whatever writing, drawing or prob'
lems tho pupil is working at In time it wUl
injure the eyesight seriously, Light should
come in on tho left shoulder.
FRONT. BACK.
The trracefnl fashions that ruled so Ion in
children's fro ... were shoved aside by tee
clumsy Mother Hubhard gown, which nude
little girls, if not big ones, look tho shape of
a ban-el. But Mother Hubbard's day seems
drawing to a close. We have a revival of
the pretty princess dress and othor shapes
that outlined the plump, cupid-like forms of
our babies somewhat. Everybody with any
pretensions to taste ought to bo glad of it.
Here is a jaunty costume for a small girl
The low-neck frock is cut princess, open lie
fore down to the hips; then a full, short skirt
is gathered on. The goods is cut bias. A
straight piece of the material forms the sash
The fabric is a small check or Scotch plaid,
trimmed with narrow velvet braiding and
ribbon.
1 1 raill Trimmings.
Braids i.nd galloons, woven, brocaded and
embroidered, continues in vogue, and will
form the trimmings most generally used
this summer. They ore arranged in the
guise of bretelles on corsages, around the
lower edge of basques, at the wrist of sleeves
and extending up the seam, as a border on
skirts and oversktrts, and finally', the richest
and most striking are used to define panels
and tabliers oa skirts, and for ornamenting
wrappings of all shapes.
A Neat Pattern.
We have the pleasure of giving below a
pretty and useful collar pattern.
COLLAR.
The illustration shows one-half the collar,
fronton the left, back on the right. By
remembering that the picture here is in
every wav just one-fourth the full size, it
will be easy to cut one similar. Cut out of
paper a pattern just this shape, four times
as large. That will be half the collar. It
fits high in the neck. Put an ordinary band
upon the uet-k of the dress. Cut out the col
lar and saw it on top of that. The collar is
a turn-over. It is first sewed on, then turn
it down where the dotted line is. Put under
it a stiff lining of wiggan or foundation mus
lin. It may be of the material of the dress,
and trimmed with a tasteful piece of em
broidery, as in the picture. Or it may be
made of velvet, with cuffs to match. This
last makes a pretty finish for a woolen dress.
Small ltatla at Weddings,
Harpy's Bazar,
The bride alone wears white gloves, while
the groom wears none, or else carries them
down the aisle in his hand with his hat,
which bis best man has held during the cere
mony. Tho bride also wears white stock
ings and slippers, and everything white ex
cept the "something blue" that she must
wear for good luck. The bridesmaids wear
very light und'vseed kid gloves, and their
j p
Little Girl's Frock.
shoes and stockings may now be either blaos
or white. A white faatber fan with a mir
ror iu the center is in favor for brides
maid. At very elegant but quiet weJ lings
no one goes to church without a bonnet ex
cept the bride and her attendants. Even
the bride's mother wears her bonnet in the
Euglish fashion. At church weddings that
are to be followed immediately by a recep
tion at the brilo's house, the more intimat
friends of both bride and groom are request
ed to come to church without their bonnets,
and tliis is considered an honor. On a writ
ten list given each usher, a seat is assigned
each of these guests, and if the guest is un
known to the usher, he consults his list as h
asks her, "Are you a friend of the bride or
of the groom i" and finds just where she must
be placed.
Told You So.
nore is the latest fashion news from Paris:
Although ths regular visiting season hat
almost come to a close, the approaching
weddings and private festivities otfer suffi
cient opportunity for the introduction of
remarkable change in gentlemen's evening
dress, which made its appearance in Park
last winter. Short knee-breeches were worn
there on all festive occasions, they do not
fit tighter than the usual long trowsers, and
can be made, according to choice, of either
cloth or satin. They reach below the knee,
are fastened with three buttons on the outer
seam, and finished off with a baud and metal
buckle, or a silk ribbon tied in a full bow.
Black silk stockings and very low patent
leatber shoes are an indispensable addition
to the short kneo-breeches.
FASH ION LETS.
Blue flannel and red flannel dresses are
made for girls' country and traveling suits.
Fans of large and uuique forms are the
only ones that should bo used for wall dec
orations. Largo bows of wide ribbon or of piece
goods, generally soft silk, adorn muuy sum
mer frocks.
Egyptian and Arabian fancies in furnish
ing aud decorating rooms are tho caprice of
the moment.
Velvet bonnet strings ore being laid aside
for tho. of lace and gauzy stuffs, especially
gauze ribbons.
Bead embroidery on tho collars, cuffs and
waistcoat of dressy jackets are among other
decorative fancies.
IM wilk jfrnejn are prettily worn over
skirts of printed sateen or percale floured
with red for house dresses
Tenuis, afternoon teas, trotting and pri
vate theatricals are the amusement ol
Washington this spring.
Individual salt cruets in vari-colored glass,
with silver-plated tops, in new flut shajK's,
are sold for $1.04 the dozen.
The same latitude prevails in the matter oi
the choice of materials for a bride's dres
that is given in other fashions at present.
Full jubot ruffles of blark loce are placed
down the frouts, around the bottom, tin
neck and sleeves of drossy black silk street
jackets.
To brighten up n black silk for summer
plaited vest is now used of dull, pale blmi
pearl gray, rose color or striped black nnii
white satin surah. This vest is of the flnosi
knifo plaiting its whole length, and some
times tulle or thin French crujie of the sam
color is laid over it
Woolen Lace Overdrew
Nothing is more stylish, or in a genera
way more useful, than a black lace over
dims. Made searate, it can be worn at al
seasons, and over kall colors. It dims the
glaring brightness of red or orange satin,
and shows only dashes of brilliant cjIoi
through the meshes of the lace. Over ac
old, creased and vforn black silk dress, it is
like charity, aud covers a multitude of de
fects. Worn above the appropriate over
tires, it serves in turn for carriage costume,
evening dress or walking gown. With a
littlo different draping, or color of ribbons,
it looks like a separate costume every time.
Of course, most ladies who can afford it
have the lace overdress of strong, fine silk
luce. But there are women who aro of the
salt of the earth, who cannot get the
costly luco garment For these there
is something well, yes, it is as pretty
and graceful as the high-priced article.
That is tho woolen or yak lace poloaui.se.
WOOLKif LACE fXTLOIf AISK.
The illustration shows it The goods comes
in th piece, ami can be bought by the yard
like other fabrics. The overdrew is trimmed
with lace to match. The back breadth is
silk, though it may be made as well of the
lace too. A belt and brood rihton sash
complete the stylish costume. Following is
the description of a specimen toilet in
black woolen lace over pomegranate red: A
skirt of pomegranate silk, veiled by a lace
skirt which is plain at the front, shirred on
the sides, and very full at the back, forming
pleats; at the lower edgo is a ruche made of
lace lined with pomegranate silk, and hang
ing over the back in two long ends is a wide
sash of black moire. 1 lie small vislte-stiaped
wrap is covered with lace; the sleeves
form part of the bock along the upper
arm, and contract so as to join toward
the wrist; the back is half adjusted, and
terminates in a basque with round pleats,
while the front forms square talis, having
flat double pleats that extend from top to
bottom, and are studded at regular inter
vals from the belt to the lower edge with
macaroons in pomegranate and black pas
sementerie; the collar, cuffs, and belt, wtiich
crosses the basque part of the wrap on the
outside, are of passementerie, and along the
sleeve and shoulder seams are double rows
of pomegranate drop trimming, while at
