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 Francisco Argonaut..

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 pedo explosions under the most favor able circumstances have caused this branch of warfare to assume an undue importance, an importance wholly un warranted by the results and created by generalizations from isolated instances, entirely without regard to the natural limitations of the efficiency of any tor pedo system, however perfect.

Seals and sea lions are a great nui sance to the salmon fishermen.

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. “1 have, to pay the costa, do IT he snapped. ••Yea.” "After 1 have won my case 1 hove to pay costs for the other elder “That is the law.” "Well, it's a mighty nice law that makes the winner lose, ain't it?
