1 The most noted torpedo boat builders
the world are Mt’sru. Yarrow ami
■OMra. 'i'hornverolt. of London. J’.in h
K these great firms employs from I,oo*l
b 1,200 workmen, and can turn out at
past one completed boat per week. The
thief peculiarity of !orpt;do-la>at' i< their
Dimot phenomenal «peed. They arc
Milt of steel, the different < lasses ranging
length from fifty-tivp feet, intended for
i Omrbor defence, to vessels of I<>6 feet,
i fflKapabic ot in iking an extended cruise at,
The Faike, a boat ic< cully built by
pfjhe Messrs. Yarrow for the .\n«trodlun-
Government, is 135 feet long, foitr-
feet wide, draught of water five feet
inches, and attained on the trial trip ,
7*Hk speed of twenty-live and one-half miles ]
(per hour. Tho armament consists of two
machine-guns, carried on
if deck, and two bow-tubes for discharging
‘J’aWhitehcad torpedoes.
4 The development of torpedo-boats i?
*4 Snow so rapidly progressing that any de
■Bacription becomes almost out of date dur
■Bing the writing. A vessel just completed
, Bby the Messrs. Yarrow for the Japanese
iHGoverninent is the largest that has been
built. It is Ititi feet long, nineteen
wide, is provided with twin «< rewr,
■HI to give greater facility in turning, and
■ maintains a speed of twenty -four miles
■ per hour. The engines are protected by
I a steel deck one inch thick ; and.in addi
tion to two bow tubes for dis-charging
■ torpedoes dip < tlx ahead, two turn-tables 1
■ are mounted on de. k, from which torpe
■ docs can be launched in any d< sired di
■ rec tion.
Very similar in their construction, and
IjSj no less famous for speed and manomvring
B qualities, are the boats built by the
B Messrs. 'L'hornycroft.
In tilts country,the .Messrs. H< rre h >IT,
B of Bristol, R. 1 , have built a number of
B very f.wst boats, designed to be used with
B torpedoes. One of these is the noted
■ itcam-yachl iMiktlo, which may well be
B taken as a representative the American
B type. Tho Stiletto is built of wood, with
B iron braces; length, ninety-four feet;
■ width, eleven feet; draught of water,
B four feet six inches, an<l has attained a
B speed of twenty-five miles |Mir hour.
1 A very formidable torpedo vessel has
■ been built in recent years by that great
est of living engineers, Captain John
[A Ericsson. It has been appropriately
B named the Destroyer. Once, at a critical
moment in the histdry of our country, as
I every American well knows, Captain
B Ericsson camo to the rescue w ith a Mon-
B itor. Sinqe then his genius, energy,
B and mechanical skill have been devoted
■ to the problem of saving our great coast
I cities from destruction in the event of
g war with a foreign naval power.
| The result of these years of study and
I experimenting is the. Destroyer, armed |
I with a torpedo-guu which discharges
under the water a projectile carrying a
I charge sufficient to .sink the largest iron
clad afloat. Thesubmarim. gun ismounted ;
in the bow of the vessel, near the keel, and
| is thus m arly ten feet below the surface of
the water. It consists of a cylinder of
gun-metal, or steel, thirty feet long, ad
ditionally streiwthcncd at the breech by
broad steel rntyis. it. is load, d at the
breech, the muzzle being encased by the
vessel’s stem, and closed by a valve to
exclude the water. This valve is opened
by suitable levers just before the gun is i
to be discharged, and closes automatic
ally as the projectile leaves the muzzle. ;
The projectile is a steel torpedo, twenty- i
live feet long, sixteen inches in diameter,
and carrying a charge of 300 pounds of
gun-cotton. It has a range of 300 feet
during the first three seconds of its flight.
The form of the torpedo is cylindrical,
with a conical point in which is placed
the percussion-lock and firing-pin, and
the explosion takes place upon impact.—

Thieves of All Nations.
“The Criminal Court is a great high
way of nations,” said Judge Anthony,
while chatting to a friend in the court- i
room waiting lor the Grand Jury to come
in. “I have been over here five months
this time, and in that, time we have tried
representatives of every civilized nation
on the globe. We have had professional
thieves here from every principal city in
this country ami Europe, England. Scot
land, Ireland. France, Germany, Russia.
Austria, Italy. Spain, Canada and all
provinces, aud every .State in the I nion
are represented at every term of court. ■
We had one ca.-e the other day in which
not one of the defendants or wit nesses, who
were numerous enough, could speak a
work of English. Not one of them was
a citizen of this country, and I don't be
lieve any one of th< in every intended t»
be. The thieves particularly seem to find
some charm about Chicago, or perhaps
there is some peculiar temptation to do
business here. Anyway, tliey seem to I
come here from every where, and many of
them leave bv the Joliet route.— Cnintao

Mrs. Beelre, Ute Ball, and the Boys.
Mrs. Beelre, an elderly New London
fly, has been a good deal annoyed by
i -vs who play foot Lail in the street be
» her house. Sho htid trmd entreaties
<t> I threats to no purpose, until the
other day, when she had her innings.
In the course of the game the boys
.knocked the trail out of the bounds into
the yard attached to Mrs. Beebe's resi
dence, and before the spryest of the lot
could scale the fence and recover the
rubber sphere, Mrs. Beebe had captured
it, and when a demand was made for its
return she was deaf to all forms of en
treaty. The boys made two or three in
i tfectual attempts to soften .Mrs. Beebe’s
great wrath for their previous bad con- 1
duct, but she was adamant and tho boys
were in a quandary. After a while they
held a mass meeting for deliberation on
the best course to pursue, and finally
decided to form a committee which was
divided into subcommittees of two,
whose duties should be in turn to make
half hourly calls <mi Mrs. Beebe, and do
maud the return of their foot-ball. They
kept this up all day with little chance
of suocess, apparently until late in the '
day, when it became a mere question of
endurance which of the adverse parties
should prevail. For brute strength the
boys had the call, and at 8 o’clock Mrs. |
Beebe surrendered and threw up the
bull, to paraphrase a term in use in
pugilistic circles. —JYew London Dny.

Biliousness
ta more g'-aeral at this seasoa than any other. The
bltber taste, offensive breath, coated tongue, sick

make the victim miserable, an 1 disagreeable to

proportion as to derive their best medicinal effects

This preparation Is so well balanced in its effects
that it brings about a healthy action of the entira

comes that tired feeling.

Hickory, M. C.
I send you to-day half dozen photographs of G.
G. Hoffman, of Couover, N. C., and I must say that
yonr medicine has done wonders for Mr Hoffman.
It seems like raising the dend to life; he looks fat
and hearty now, and they tell me when he com
menced your medicine be was nothing but skin and
i bon« The sore on his breast is healed over, and
, you esn see the one on the forehead Is healing up
i from the top. I wish it bad been so that I coaid
have taken it when he was at his worst, bat I could
not leave my office, and be livee some distance from
j here. Yours Respectfally,
A. Mclxtosh.
This man, G. G. Hoffman, has risen by the use of
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) to bis present won
derfully Improved condition. In a short time bis
boneless forehead will be fully he tle I, and he will
stand a monument of humanity raised from the
verge of death. Few persons ever recover from
such a tow state, being on a dying bed from that
fell destroyer, blood poison, with the bones of his
foreliead rotted and taken out, fJ' 4 s:t inches, by the
’ doctors, and given out to die. From ekin and
bones, wrecked by blood poison, to health aud
! sound flesh, is the work o' B. B. B.
Not man y such desperate case? may be found,
! but when ihey are they should not despair of re
covery, as B. B. B. will cure them.
When this medicine can cure such extreme cases,
ie it not reasonable that it will cure ail ca-see of
blood poison of less violence, as it has done in
! thousands of instances 1

The treatment, of many thousands of -uses
J of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
, ailments pttculiar to females, at the Invali'iA
• Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt-
■ ing and thoroughly testing remedies for Hie
cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands of testimo
| nials, received from patients and from physi
cians who have tested it in the mor- aggru
i rated and obstinate cases which had buttled
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief ami sure of
suffering women. It is not recommended asi
1 "cure-all," but as a most perfect Spccifi: for
; woman’s peculiar ailments.
As a powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to the whole system,
1 and to the womb and its appendage in
particular. For overworked, worn - out,"
i r * run-down," debilitated teachers, mtUmeii,
I dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls," house
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women
generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrlptioh
is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled
