Queer Inventions That Are Sant to
the Navy Department.
FVfIU) Oh IV'cMf/ltmllOU St<ff.
The inventive r.irii of mod; m mori an
genius hovers Lmdrrly and pi i f.istoin ly over
tne War and Navy Pcpirtmente, There is
somethin# glittering in tito promises and
rLiai:ces offered by the field of engines of
war, and tho archives of both departments
ere tilled with fcbo plans and drawings f
ir.-en‘ions tint have be ci sent hero for
examination. It would seem that the
rro por place for such things is in tho patent
tilficc, but there are inventors who, for
many reasons, prefer to deal directly with
those departments in the line of which their
productions run. In number of cases the
main reason for this preference seems to be
the tact ditttth- inventions are wort bless anil
t, a ve i*eeu rejected by the patent office, but
them venters, uncrushed by such a defeat,
i them to those departments in the fond
hopeln.it perhaps th' - technical eyes of naval
and army experts will see the real merit of
the machines.
SOME ODD INVENTIONS,
few of thorn oddities of American in
vention were recently called to the atten
tion of a reporter by a naval officer,
through who-e hands a number of them had
passed.
"We get any quantity of ideas thrust
upon us,” ho said, “by cranks and others, at
the rate of one invention a month, or there
abouts, I should siv. Most of them are
utterly worthless, and the formality through
which it is necessary for us to pass before
informing the fellow of the rejection of his
plan is practically a waste of time. I think
rhat the last one I saw was the most unique
piece of foolishness I ever encountered. It
was an invention of a war ship, the plans
consisting of some rough pencil drawings
on a piece of common inanila paper, accom
panied by a few notes of explanation and a
letter requesting its adoption by the navy.
The ship, according to the drawing, seetnod
jo be desigued as a sort of ‘double eader,’
there being no difference between the bow
and the stern, both of which rose from the
water line outward for a short distance, and
then retreated, thus forming a point, or
ram, on either end. There were three pro
jections in the plan, along the deck, equi-
Cktant, that looked like mast stumps, or
smoke stacks, but they were neither. They
were the tons of elevator shafts. The shin,
explained the notes, was to bo divided into
three decks, and each deck cut up into
twelve rooms. By an ingenious arrange
ments of bulkheads and partitions each of
the three elevators was open to four rooms
on the deck. These rooms were to be pro
v ided with strong locks and other means of
security, and also with aii modern im
provements and conveniences. The inven
tor claimed that when the ship was attacked
the crew could retreat to the elevators, de
scend to the rooms by a sort of system or
drill, lock themselves in by means of the
strong safeguards and thus “prevent the
ship from being taken.” That formed the
central idea of the plan. There were no
provisions for boilers, engines, or for guns
or means of attack or defense, ewopt an
armor plating two inches thick. The in
ventor, a Texan, evidently' thought that
this ship was a model. It was, in its way.
The drawings, which were submitted in
March last, were sent around the usual
c urse and finally returned to tho inventor
a few weeks ago wjth a letter from the
Secretary thanking him for the chance
which he had given the navy to profit by
his invention, but regretting an inability to
adopt it.”
SENDING PLANS OF HALIFAX HARBOR.
“One of these people—these inventors—is
a regular correspondent with the depart
ment, living in Halifax, N. S. Besides
sending numerous plans and designs, he is
continually sending maps of the harbor of
Halifax, with various schemes by which to
capture that port and also to annex Nova
Scotia. He is a crank on the subject of Cana
dian annexation, and seems to devote his
entire spare time to the development of
scheme ,to that end. One of his recent pro
ductions in the line of invention is an armor
for a battle ship consist ing of a considera ile
thickness of india rubber. His idea was
that the elasticity of the substance would
cause the shots striking the vessel to re
bound without damage to the ship. The
plan has been often suggested before.”
This idea of a rubber armor, however, is
not so foolish as it might be thought, as an
armor-plate expert at the department ex
plained to the reporter.
AN ELASTIC ARMOR.
“There has been invented,” he said, "a
sort of elastic paste which is spread over
the unprotected, unartnored parts of a ship’s
bull. It is made of prepared powder, pro
duced by grinding the fibers of thecocoauut.
Its properties are such that if penetrated by
a shot the substance is not destroyed or
torn away as in the case of iron or wood,
but the hole closes up instantly, leaving
only minute cracks where the shots en
tered. The hole is closed so tightly that
water cannot enter, and this is the main
object of this armor, to prevent the ship
from filling and sinking. It has been used
experimentally' in Europe with great suc
cess, and has been adopted by the French
navy. Of course, as an armor, slrictlv
speaking, it is valueless; but as a moans to
keep the compartments of a ship dry, it is a
good thing. A metal armor would keep the
shot out entirely, but this can be used where
the metals cannot. It is a peculiar sub
stance, men working with the dry powder
before its preparation being afflicted with
frequent pose bleeding.”
LIKE THE FRENCHMEN AND THE FLEA.
“Your mention of queer inventions,” con
tinued this officer, “reminds me of a letter
w hich I noticed recently from a fellow who
wanted the navy to buy his secret for de
stroying hostile naval vessels by means of a
torpedo. His plan was detailed in the letter
about as folio ws: A man, clad in a now'
and improved diving suit, was to swim out
to the enemy’s vessel, and, diving under her
hull, to faston to her bottom a metal eye
bolt or ring. He was then to pass through
it a line which he bad pulled out with him
and swim back to his starting place. A
torpedo of a peculiar design should then be
fastened to the line and hauled out to the
vessel by means of rope and riug. When
it came in contact with the ship it could be
exploded, either by the contact or by a time
fuse. The inventor wanted several thous
and dollars for his secret, which consisted
in the diving suit, the method of fixiug the
eye-bolt t> the ship’s bottom and the style
of the torpedo. The department rejected
his offer.”
A REVOLUTIONARV PLAN.
This idea is somewhat similar to that of
David Bushuell, a toraed > genius of revolu
tionary days. Among his many schemes
and engines for destruction was one called
the American torpedo, described as a ma
chine shaped like a water tortoise, and
managed by a single person. It contained
Sufileient air to support respiration for
thirty minutes without being replenished,
valves to admit or reject water for the pur
pose of rising or sinking, ballast to keep it
upright, and a seat for the operator. Abov e
the rudder was a place for carrying a large
powder magazine, constructed from two
pieces of oak timber, and capable of carry
,n K 150 pounds of powder with the appa
ratus for firing it, consisting of a time trig-
Ker - The objoct was to swim so low on the
Mirface of the water that tho machine could
Approach at night very near to the ship
Without bring discovered. After sinking
Quickly he could keep at any depth and row
,n Any direction. When the ship was
IJ'Aohisl a wooden screw was to be fixed into
the bottom, the tnagasine attached, and the
operator would swim away iu his turtle and
Await the action of the time lock. The ex
periments of Mr. Bushneil, performed on
*he British fleet in the Delaware, were not
®t All successful, and the American torpedo
abandoned. In 1777 be performed a

TO SAVE LIFE.
The genhi- ot those nveutore is not all of
an aggressive nature —that is, it does not
always and volop machines of destruction,
but sometimes takes Hie turn of saving life.
On the wiucow-sill of an office in the Bureau
•>f C onstrue;ion and itepair lies a tin con
cern cove; od v\ th dust and almost hidden
"ltll papers ami books. It is the model of
a patent life-boat of a most striking design.
The bow and stern are perfect cones —points
outward and horizontally in line. A bar
connects them and supportsthe body of the
boot, which is entirely separate from the
ends. Ic is half round, without a,keel, and
swings freely upon the central bar. The
object of this contrivance is to prevent the
tipping of the boat. The cones beiug hollow
and water-tight would afford buoyancy;
wnouever a wave struck the boat it would
swing unresisting upon its axis and right
itsell as soon as the wave had passed. The
tin model has been resting o.i the window
sill for many months, anti the life-boat has
never been adopted by tue navy.
NEWLY INVENTED DANCES.
The Dancing Masters Explain Some
of the New Conceptions.
FYom the New York Sun.
The American professors of dancing
moved upon Vienna Hall at Lexington
avenue and Fifty-eighth street yesterday
and spent a good many hours in showing
off new terpsichorean ideas for the
benefit of the lovers of dancing who will
go to the balls this fall and winter. It was
the second day of tho annual convention,
and the ranks of the dancers of society
were swelled to thirty-five, who were anxi
ous to stud}' new illu-trations of the poetry
of motion. Among tbe experts were half a
dozen young women, who floated about on
their tiptoes with a grace that was captivat
ing.
The thirty-five experts came from all
parts of the country, and yesterday they
illustrated the terspichorean beauties of tho
“Diamond lanciers.” It was anew wrinkle iu
square dances proposed by Prof. William
Pitt Rivers. Ho had a dancing floor spe
cially built in Brooklyn recently to show it to
his friends. This floor is made of yellow
pine, and rests on rubber cushions. There
are 524 of these cushions altogether under
the floor, and they give it an undulating
movement. The couples dancing the new
figures form a diamond when in the first po
sition, and describe four smaller diamonds
as they execute the five figures of the new
dance. It was greeted with applause, and
bv unanimous vote the society set the seal
of official approval upon it.
The professors also discussed tho idea of
tlie cushioned floor. Prof. Rivers declared
that it gave a spring to the step that great
ly enhanced the delights of dancing.
The professors next tackled the “glide
mazourka. ” Tiiis is a round dance with the
old hop-step of the mazourka modified into
a captivating waltz glide. Prof. Loomis,
who teaches tho Yale College boys dancing,
invented it. The Yale boys took kindly to
it. The society of professors adopted it in
a hurry after seeing it.
Prof. Melvin V. Gilbert, who hails from
Maine, danced the new Berlin to 2-1 time,
and secured its adoption. It is a graceful
round dance that the professors wouldn’t
describe in detail for fearsome outsider
would steal it, and rob them of the pecuniary
profit of the idea.
The “ Parisian Gavotte,” a dance full of
surprising and picturesque divertissement,
was submitted. The professors go to Brook
lyn to Prof. Uris’ parlors. There Prof.
Fletcher Rivers will dance for the first time
the Vienna round dance and tho new kirmess,
a square dance for eight couples, and danced
to music combining the airs of twenty dif
ferent nations. It is iu five parts, and each
figure is different, instead of being repeated
by the different couples, as is done in the
ordinary lanciers or quadrille.
OTTO OSTEN’S QUEER STORY.
Russia Sentenced an American Citi
zen to Siberia for Life.
From the New York Sun.
San Francisco, Sept. 22.—-Otto Osten, a
naturalized citizen bailing from this port,
to-day forwarded to Secretary Bayard a
thrilling tale of his experience on the
schooner Vladimir on the Siberian coast.
He says the Russian vice-consul. Neibaum,
of this post, shipped him to Yiadivostoc,
Eastern Siberia, to build flouring mills, but
after he reached hisjdestination, O. W. Lin
hotm, who passed as vice consul, endeavored
to use him as a bomb constructor, and also
wanted to force him to build a fast steamer
to be used in smuggling convicts for
wealthy friends of the Island of Cahacha
line.
Osten sets forth that the schooner Viadi
mir was engaged in this work, and was
largely successful through the captain fly
ing the American flag iu Russian ports and
the Russian flag on the high seas. The mo
tive of this was that if detected in assisting
convicts to escape under the Americ in flag,
the only punishment would be the confisca
tion of the vessel and banishment, whereas
if Russian coloi-s were shown imprisonment
and perhaps death would result. Osten de
clares that tho managers of the schooner
were members of a society Known as the
Russian constitutional league, the object of
which was to force a constitutional form of
government for Russia.
O-ten refused to do Lindholm’s work, and
was sentenced to life imprisonment in one
of the Siberian penal colonies. While in
durance he was robbed, he says, of $‘.1,000
worth of money and patents.
Cant. Self ridge of the United States
steamer Omaha was partially his rescuer,
he says, but he (lid not get away
until he signed documents releasing them
from all responsibility for the loss of his
valuables. Another chapter of his allega
tions is that Charles (lustav, a native of
this state, and oue of the crew of the Vladi
mir, was knocked on the head and thrown
overboard for threatening to enter a com
plaint against the captain of the Vladimir.
Osten wants damages from the Russian
government, and wants Mr. Bayard to
make full investigation. His story is backed
up by affidavits now ihree years old. and it
seems strange that he should be so late in
his expose.
Neibaum is a man of large wealth and
much respected here. He and his partners
deny all knowledge of the story, and only
admit the ownership of the Vladimir
and sonding Osten to Yiadivostoc to build
four mills.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ti, 1888.
A STRANGE RESEMBLANCE'
The Singular Story About Represen
tativa Taylor and His Double.
FYom the Washington Star.
Judge Ezra B. Taylor, who represents the
nineteenth Ohio district in the house, is one
of the best-kuown members ou the repub
lican side, and is ranked among the ablest.
He is a man of striking characteristics, and
would arrest the atteution of a stranger as
being above the ordinary run of men. His
face is strongly marked with force and in
dividuality.
He recently received a letter from Wis
consin, which calls up again a coincidence
in his life, which is probably the most re
markable of which the world has record.
He related this story to tho reporter yester
day. He was born in Portage county, Ohio,
sixty-five years ago, attended school with
Garfield, and the two kept up a friendship
in after life. When Garfield was elec el
to the Ohio Senate in 1858. Judge
Taylor was practicing law in the stale.
Shortly after Garfield took his seat Judge
Taylor gota letter from him stating:
“I received your letter and will bo glad
to do anything I can for you. I am sur
prised, however, that you should desire
such a position. I thought your practice
was worth much more to you.”
This may not be the exact language of
the letter, but it was about this.
Judge Taylor did not understand the
letteHe wrote to Mr. Garfield telling
him so, and saying that he was right in
supposing his law practice was worth more
than any position under the stato Senate.
THE MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Shortly after that Mr. Garfield called on
him and handed him a letter, asking if it
were not his. He examined the letter and
replied that it was certainly his handwrit
ing and his signature, but that he had not
written it, unless he had done so in his
sleep, and then he pointed out that it was
postmarked from another part of the state.
The letter asked for the appointment of
deputy sergeant at-arms of t he state Senate,
was written in the judge’s handwriting and
signed plainly with his signature, Ezra B.
Taylor.
Mr. Garfield wanted to submit the letter
to an ex' ert to pass upon tbe ebirography.
Judge Taylor said he would acknowledge
that he could not tell it from his own. It
was submitted to an expert, who, without
hesitation, said he could take oath to its
being Judge Taylor’s writing. It was a
mystery they could not penetrate, and they
dropped it.
HE MEETS HIS DOUBLE.
Not long afterward the state convention
assembled. Judge Tuylor was walking
down the corridor of the principal hotel.
There wore mirrors ou the walls in which
he could see his reflection. As he ap
proached the end of the corridor he thought
there was another mirror directly in front
of him in which lie could plainly see his
own face and form. He drew closer, and —
No; it was not a mirror. It was a man.
It was himself in flesh and blood. The two
looked at each other, and it seemed as if
each had lost his identity in the other.
Had they turnoi around three times neither
could have boon certain he was not the
other fellow. Neither spoke. They just
looked at each other and passed in onposi e
directions. Later in the day Mr. Garfield,
with the double leaning ou his arm, ap
pr ached Judge Taylor. He introduced
them: “Mr. Taylor, Mr. Taylor. No Mr.
Ezra B, Taylor, Mr. Ezra B. Taylor.”
NAMES AND FACES ALIKE.
They were the same in name, in form, in
face, in age, voice, carriage, manners and
generally appearance. Judge Taylor was
then known as colonel. Ho had been
named after a distinguished clergyman,
Ezra Booth. The duplicate was also known
as colonel, and said he was Ezra Boot i, but
he did not know after whom he was named.
The reporter had been told that they dis
covered that they were born on tho same
day. Judge Taylor says he does not re
member whether or not this was developed,
but that they were certainly born in the
same year, and that every circumstance or
condition they could think of as peculiar
to one, anplied with equal aptness to the
other. Tbe acquaintance was continued
between these two men, a constant corres
pondence between them until a year ago,
when the other died out west. They were
never able to discover any relationship.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
A few weeks ago Judge'i’avlor got a let
ter from a lady in Wisconsin stating that
she had noticed the name of Ezra B. Tay
lor as voting agaiust tho Mills bill; that an
Ezra B. Taylor, formerly living in a cer
tain part of New York, had been an inti
mate friend of her father, who was now
dead. They had, she said, lost sight of
this friend soon after her father’s death,
and they were anxious to find him. They
honed tho representative might be he.
Judge Taylor wrote a prompt reply, stat
ing that he had never lived in New
York state and had never heard of tho lady’s
father; but this did not end it.
A few days ago he got another letter from
the lady stating that she had boen delighted
on receiving his letter, to recognize in the
address the handwriting of her father’s
friend. Oil opening the letter she had
found the handwriting and signature the
same as a number of old letters they have
and that she was at a loss to reconcile the
contents of the letter with these circum
stances.
It has not yet developed whether the
Ezra. B. Taylor this lady seeks is the one
who died or yet a third party to the drama.
But, to add another romantic feature to
the case, it now appears that the Taylor
this lady seeks might have reasons for con
cealing liis identity from the family on ac
count of some business relations with the
deceased father, whom he may have owed
money.
MEDICAL.
Liver Disorders
Soon cause the blood to become contam
inated and require prompt treatment.
The most marked symptoms are loss of
appetite, headache, pains in the back
or side, nausea, and relaxation of the
bowels. Ayer’s Pills assist nature to
expel the superabundant bile and thus
restore the purity of the blood. Being
purely vegetable and sugar-coated, they
are pleasant to take, mild in operation,
and without ill effects.
“After many years’ experience with
Ayer’s Pills as a remedy for the large
number of ailments caused by derange
ments of the liver, peculiar to malarial
localities, simple justice prompts me to
express to you my high appreciation of
the merits of this medicine for the class
of disorders I have named." —S. L.
Loughridge, Bryan, Texas.
“ I had tried almost everything for
chronic liver complaint, hut received
no relief until I used Ayer’s Pills. I
find them invaluable." W. E. Watson,
