Symbols of the Thunderbolt.
The different nations of the world,
both ancient and modern, have employed
various symbols to represent the tires
that flash from the thundercloud. The
Chaldeans symbolized it with a trident,
the leurnod Babylonians used a human
arm for the same purpose. The bas-re
liefs of Nirnrud and Malthia, the work
of later and more refined Assyrian
artists, show the 'trident doubled or
transformed iuto a tritid fascicle. Tins
triumph of the classic art secured fot
the ancient Mesopotamian symbol Hie
advantage over all other representations
of the thunderbolt.
The Greeks represented the storm tire
with the features of a bird of prey
Later on. when they had begun the use
of the Asiatic form of the symbol, they
put it in the claws of un eagle and made
it the seepter of Zens, (rani received
the symbol from Italy, but soon altered
it to the familiar two headed hammer
seen on the Gullo-Komuii monuments
Tlie same symbol is seen on amulets
found in Germany, Scandinavia r and
Brittany. —St. Louis Republic.
The Color of the Complexion.
If Mrs. Emily Crawford’s deductions
are true, beauty and such a. hitherto dif
ticult achievement as a complexion are
mere matters of detertuiuutiou. Mrs
Crawford says that Frenchwomen used
to he brown as a berry; but of late years
they ure conspicuous for their marble
charm. The expression is Mrs. Craw
ford's. This, she says, is simply the re
sult of their intense desire for beauty in
pallor; it is altogether a matter of will
power. It is elsewhere admitted that
the Parisiau has been giving a great deal
of consideration to her diet, and lias
found that poultry and milk are better
allies, so far as her skin is concerned
than butcher’s meat aud wine.—Ban

There is a very widely diffused idea
among pcoplo who have not made a
special study of the subject that torpe
does. and torpedues alone, can defend
any harbor ugainst n hostile attack.
Tlio destructive- effects of a few tor

branch of warfare to assume an undue
importance, an importance wholly un
warranted by the results and created by
generalizations from isolated instances,

Enemies of the Salmon Fisheries.
Seals and sea lions are a great nui

the gill nets and grab the canght salmon
by the throats, devouring those parts
which they regard especially as tidbits.
Bears are very fond of salmon and catch

torpedoes, the results attainable by their
nso, and the restrictions inevitably at
tending thoir indefinite expansion into a
complete system of defense.
Great guns moat play an Important
purt in all harbor defense, but for the
proper and ndequate defending of navi
gable chennels bonyant mines, exploded
by contact, ure the mainstays.
With their use. however, a host of per
plexing conditions arise, the twisting
and wearing of the cables and moorings,
the depression due to the currents, the
danger of sympathetic explosions, tho
leaking of the cases, the obstruction of
the chaunel for friendly navigation—all
these have to bo overcome as best they
may be.
Where a port has several navigable
channels, und it is practicable to sacri
fice one or more, their closure by means
of self acting torpedoes is easy.
Where a channel, however, cannot be
entirely abandoned, self acting mines
are useless, for in order to be thorough
ly reliable they must bo us dangerous to
a friend as to uu enemy. Furthermore.'’
their planting, and much more, their re
moval n|K>n the cessation of hostilities
is to be accomplished only at great risk.
The limited applicability of ground
mines is well known. Torpedo science
fumishes.twoother types for harbor de
fense; the buoynnt mine and the dirig
ible torpedo, although the latter proper
ly tonus a distinct class.
Grout nicety tu planting torpedoes
cannot be expected, and this fact, cou
pled wTtb the inevitable shifting of the
rnipes from various causes, leads direct
ly to the conclusion that a great num
ber of mines must be relied upon ratlier
than precision in their manipulation.
Despite the number of mines, a vessel
attempting to puss the lines may still
fail to strike a mine hard enough to
work the circuit closer. To meet this
contingency a perfect torpedo system
must provide means for firing the mines
at will in groups of three or four. It
will always be possible to accurately lo
cate a vessel within a dangerous space
Of this number of mines, aud their simul
taneous explosion will have the desired
effect.
To furnish a passage for the electric
current many cables are needed, und to
avoid confusion some regular method of
plunting must be adopted. It is con
venient to plant the torpedoes in groups
capable of being fired by judgment,
these groups constituting the units,
which are combined into the larger unit
whose limit is generally the number of
mines that can be operated through a
single seven core cable.
The grand groups thus formed are ar
ranged in lines, the latter radiating in
such a wanner from the operating case
ments that the separate units cau he
easily located by triangulation. The
intervals between the lines are filled with
skirmish lines—single mines strung on a
single conductor cable and exploding by
contact only.
Many forms of movable torpedoes for
harbor defense havo been tried in differ
ent countries with varying degrees of
success. For accuracy of direction and
range of destructive power the Sims-Ed-
ison fish torpedo is perhaps unexcelled.
Extended trials at Willet’s point have
satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to
carry 200 pounds of dynamite to a dis
tance of two miles at a speed of about
twenty miles per hour. The charge is
exploded upon contact with the vessel
or by the action of the operator on shore.
The dirigibility of the torpedo is per
fect It follows its prey as though
endowed with life, swerving to the right
or left as necessary, diving under booms
or other obstructions, cutting through
nets, and never slackening its great
speed-until the end of its cable is
reached. At present a two mile radius
is deemed siilBcient, although this could
be increased if necessary b/et
the “fish” itself.—Cosmopolitan.
Everything went swimmingly for his
side. Elis lawyer proved beyond a doubt
that the defendant had caused damages
to the plaintiff’s property. The judge be
lieved it. tlie jury believed it, in fact the
defendant himself and tlie defendant's
conusel believed it
If ever there was a clear case of
damages it was right there in the com
mon pleas court And so the plaintiff
got a verdict for forty-nine dollars.
Bnt it is one thing to get a verdict and
mother thing to take what goes with
it It huppenod in this case that if the
defendant received a verdict for less
than fifty dollars ho was liable for costs.
He did nut know much about law, and.
though lie was disappointed at the
amount of the damages, he looked tri
umphantly ut the other side. He was
disgusted to see the uulm smile on the
face of the defendant's lawyer. But a
moment later there was gnashing of
teeth when his connsel told him ubout
the costs.
