ENQUIRER. -SU5: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1890.
A TORPEDO ATTACK AT NIGHT.
A TivM FkUi» t€ '»««" nd “<MS-
tth* A Midin Natal Wmrlm.
The opportunity cornea—* dark nigh*
and tempesCnoos. The clouds have cov
ered the stars like a pall, ami there is a
howling wind which, drowns all other
sounds. The pigmy vessel makes ready
and pots to sea. It rashes along as swift
as the wind and as silent as a calm Big
waves sometimes sweep over it from end
to end as it plunges through the dark
ness, bat they are not heeded. Small as
it is. it is stanchlv bnilt and can stand
the strain of storm, as well as its adver
sary. All men save one are snugly shnt
inside, tending the dying engine and
preparing the missile of destruction.
This is a strange bolt, shaped Hire a ci
gar, over ten feet in length, and the
crew place it in the bow tube. The mar
on deck stands behind a little iron tower
which shields him from the shock of the
waves, and there he steers the boat.
In the darkness they seek their adver
sary determinedly; and with deadly pur
pose, since they are the protectors of
their native land. The boat searches
for a time in vain, for the big ship has
covered all lights and is lying like a
sleeping monster trpon the waves, await
ing morning to renew the havoc. Per
haps if the ship remained thns the little
boat would never find her; bnt •‘Goliath'’
becomes uneasy: he fears “David” will
make- an attack, so he has determined to
watch.
A daggling cone of white light sudden
ly starts from a point in the darkness
and broadens apon the water. Slowly
it sweeps about over the sea in circling
arcs. All at once the little boat is bathed
in a brilliant, blinding glare. The mon
sters eye finds it! But in finding the
enemy the hattle ship has disclosed itself,
and the dauntless little adversary steams
straight forward at utmost speed.
Streaks of flame are now shooting from
under the white light, while the rattling
reports of rifles and machine guns rise
sharply above the wind’s roar. Shot and
small shell are falling about like na.il
upon the water, but the monster cannot
keep the range of the onrushing boat,
and the missiles fly wide of the mark.
Suddenly the great ship looms up—
tall. long, shadowy, overpowering. It
is not far off—almost near enongh to be
attacked. Yet a little closer, and the
intrepid pigmy, still unharmed, slows
and steadies, with that ominous black
tube pointing toward the monster’s blaz
ing side. Shut3 are falling upon the
boat, and the ui;tn who was steering has
taken refuge in his iron tower; but in
side there is a wheel, and he can steer as
well ;is before, for around him on a level
with his eyes are little slits through
which lie can see. Now seconds are
precious if the brave little craft is to
escape destruction. The moment lias
come! A lever is pulled, and from tha.'
black tube comes a short, hoarse roar.
At once the little boat begins to turn,
ready to escape with the speed of the
wimL
But before the boat can turn a dull,
heavy shock has jarred the sea, A gi
gantic column of white water rushes up
ward toward the black clouds. In it the
tall masts * >f the monster ship seem tc
sway about and clash together. The
banging of the guns is sharply succeeded
by cries of human terror.
The mass of water falls back into the
sea with a roaring crash and scatters
over the waves in great wisps of glisten
ing foam. The wind, sweeping on again,
forms new waves over the disturbed
water. The monster ship has disappeared
—the Goliath of the deep is conquered
by his pigmy antagonist.—John IT. EUi-
cott in St. Nicholas.

No Fitting Necessary.
Women who find it difficult to spare
the rime and strength at the dress
maker’s for the fitting and trying on o!
two or three gowns a season comment
-ometimes upon the trouble their more
fashionable sisters most take who own
dresses by scores. In point of fact the
latter have an easier time getting twenty
than the former three.
Most wealthy and tiressy women have
at their dressmaker's a gown form of
themselves, which is a plaster of pans
cast taken from life. Every detail of
tne corseted and bodiced figure to the
waist line is accurately reproduced, and
this half body is then mounted upon a
skirt form of the same height as the cus
tomer.
Madame or mademoiselle, as the case
may be, then spends a single morning
with her dressmaker choosing fabrics,
studying effects, indicating occasions
for which gowns will be needed and the
like to accomplish the season's ward
robe. The costumes are made up and
fitted to her counterfeit presentment
and when finished sent home, often not
needing the alteration of a single hook
or loop.—New York Times.

Tapioca.
The manioc or cassava is a native of !
South America, but it has been success- j
folly introduced, for coltivr-tion into 1
Africa and other tropical countries. It
is a hnahy shrub, six to ten feet high. .
with large leaves near the ends of the I
branches. The articles prepared for |
commerce come from the roots or tubers, j
which are large and like turnips, bat
frequently weighing ;ts high as thirty
pounds. They contain a milky jniee
rich in starch, but also rich in hydro- 1
cyanic acid, which makes the juice—in
its natuial state—a very deadly poison.
The acid is ilnven out by beat and the
remainder of the juice is extracted by
boiling. The grated root makes what is
known in the tropics as cassava or cas
sava bread, and is used for food. The
-r.trch. extracted, is exported as Brazil-
;u arrowroot, and tapioca is made
from it by a heating process which
ursts the starch grannies and causes
s- :emical changes.—Good House-
