50 YEARS’
EXPERIENCE
American Genius.
Our ■Washington Correspondence.
The suddenness of the war and
the rapidity with which its op
erations have been carried on in
foreign lands, has precluded the
completion of complicated engines
of destruction, but there have been
needed many simple and practical
| contrivances, such as devices suit-
| able for use in landing troops, am-
| munition and war supplies, and for
| carrying on campaign work in mar
shy country and tropical latitudes.
It is interesting to note the ingenui
ty that has been displayed by Amer
ican inventors in their efforts to
meet the demands thus made upon
them. Many of the necessary in
ventions in this line have been sug
gested by army and navy officers,
and many of the devices which have
been brought into use in the Cuban
campaign have been manufactured
and shipped from Washington, not
withstanding the fact that Washing
ton is not generally, considered a
manufacturing center. Among the
devices worthy of mention are port
able hospitals, portable breastworks,
and perhaps the most important are
what are technically known as “seige
gun tanks” and “pontoon couplings,
These gun tanks, which were used
extensively by Gen. Shatter in land
ing his heavy siege guns upon the
Cuban coast, consist of large hollow
cylindrical tanks, each 1G feet in
length and 3 feet in diameter. They
are constructed in two parts, being
divided longitudinally. The tanks
are intended for use solely in land
ing heavy cannon from transports
anchored a considerable distance
from shore. In use, the gun to be
transported is placed within the low
er portion of the tank, the upper
half of the cylinder is then put into
position and bolted fast, the joint
between the sections being hermeti
cally sealed in order to effectually
prevent the ingress of water, and
the device is thus made completely
water-tight. It is of course neces
sary that the gun should be secured
in place in the tank so as to prevent
it from being thrown from side to
side, which movement would result
in injury either to the gun or the
cylinder containing it. The cylinder
containing the gun is thrown over
board from the ship, and the air con
fined within the space surrounding
the gun is sufficient to insure the
buoyancy of the cylinder, and the
cylinder while thus floating upon
the surface of the water is readily
towed to the shore by either a steam
launch, a surf boat, or should the
conditions be such as to render the
use of a boat impossible, a -line from
the shore is employed in pulling the
cylinder upon the beach. Upon
reaching the shore, the cylinder is
rolled to some suitable place upon
the- beach, where, after the tank has
been opened, the gun is placed by
means of derricks upon , the carriages
which are. brought ashore in either
pontoons or lighters. Practical use
of these siege gun tanks has demon
strated the fact that the breech
mechanism of the finely constructed
steel seige guns, the delicacy of
which requires the most careful
handling, is fully protected and ab
solutely safe from injury or damage
resulting from bruising or from con
tact with salt water.
Six of these gun tanks were. sent
to Santiago, where they proved a
perfect success. Guns having a max
imum weight of three tons were ea
sily transported to the shore by their
use. Six additional tanks have just
been forwarded to Porto Rico to be
used by the landing parties on that
island.
The “pontoon couplings” consist
of gigantic hinges constructed of
finely rolled steel. These hinges are
about 16 feet in length and have a
sweep of about 2J feet. The pon
toons used for landing purposes are
constructed somewhat like the com
mon barge or lighters, which are
used in our river harbors. On the
edge of the deck of one of these
lighters the hinge is securely fixed
in such a manner that the overhang
ing half of the hinge when not in
use may be folded back out of the
way. On the second pontoon are a
number of steel plates with holes in
the center. "When it is desired to
couple the two pontoons together
the unfastened edge of the hinge is
swung over, and bolted by coupling
pins to the adjacent barge. The
hinge has a double swing, and in
this manner the motion given the
pontoon by the waves is minimum.
A long series of pontoons thus cou
pled are permitted to swing up and
down together, the coupling hold
ing them firmly, and thus the pitch
ing about, as would be the case of a
single pontoon or boat upon the sea,
is entirely avoided, and a compara
tively steady bridge or platform is
provided. One hundred of these
pontoon couplings were sent to San
tiago, and a large number are now
awaiting shipment to Porto Rico.

One of the queerest publications'
in the world is a newspaper called
The Ostrich, printed in Cornwall,
England. The paper is issued and
distributed gratuitously throughout
Cornwall twice a week. Its object
is unique—to make its readers hap
py and healthy. The system of the
publisher is based on the science of
suggestiveness, and The Ostrich is
so arranged that only the most
agreeable things are suggested. It
is printed on a delightful pale rose
colored paper, and certain words,
like happy, good, peace, success,
amiable, health, beautiful, etc., are
printed in heavy type. All such
words as death, pain, killed, misfor
tune, horrible, etc., are avoided. In
the entire paper, with the exception
of one column, not a single disagree
able word is printed.
The motto of The Ostrich is:
“Even of truth one-half is false
hood.” One column bears the title,
“What Would S. H. D. Say to It?”
S. H. D. stands for Sir Humphrey
Davy, and he is taken as the model
of all human beings, the yardstick
with which everything is measured.
Certain kinds of news are printed
with a commentary in this column.
For example: “At a banquet at Bir
mingham Lord Salisbury declared
that the situation of the Armenians
was such as demanded serious con
sideration.
“S. H. D. would say: The consid
eration only becomes serious by
Lord Salisbury’s calling it so. There
may be less in the matter than one
would suspect.”
Another column bears the head:
“The Demented of To-Horrow.”
Under it all important political news
is commented -upon and corrected.
The corrections of The Ostrich are
considered sound.
“How Does This Concern Me?” is
the head of a third department, in
which all the news from foreign
countries is grouped.
Under the head “We Do Not Be
lieve in It,” all accidents, shipwrecks,
earthquakes, murders, famines, etc.,
are collected.. The Ostrich does not
believe in such things, and in print
ing this class of news deprives it of
all shocking features. For instance,
a double murder, the result of delir
ium tremens, bears the harmless ti
tle, “More Milk,” conveying . the
idea that the murderer needed more
milk than brandy. The report that
a member of parliament fell from
bis horse and broke his leg is head
ed “At Lawn Tennis,” and it begins:
“At lawn tennis it could never have
happened that Sir Robert Harcourt,
member of parliament for Dunbar,
would fall from his horse,” etc. A
flood is called “surplus water;” a
famine is referred to as “a general
frugality:” in a railroad collision
twenty persons are “cancelled;” a
train is not derailed, but “glides
from the track,” and in the south
no yellow fever breaks out, but a
“yellowish” one. A building bums
down and of 400 persons 277 perish.
The Ostrich doesn’t mention them,
but says not less than 123 were
saved.”
Very sad news is printed in the
smallest type, so the experienced
reader is warned. No unpleasant
details are given. After a mere
statement, the paragraph ends with
“Continuation on page 13.” There
is no thirteenth page.
The man who has invented this
peculiar newspaper is John Gillis.
He was a school teacher, published
some essays, and then became a
journalist. He studied the popula
tion of London and Bristol, and
gradually formed his opinion of
what sort of a newspaper would be
appropriate for their health, doing it
from purely humanitarian motives.
The paper is a favorite all along
the coast. The words printed in
’heavy type were popular from the
beginning. Children learned to read
the conspicuous words for them
selves, and the mothers were rejoiced
that their little ones learned first of
all to read of joy, of happiness and
beauty.

“Before I went west,” remarked
the man who had just returned, “I
had heard a good deal aboat ’west
ern hospitality. It is there all right
enough, though at one time I came
near thinking otherwise.
“While I was there I had occa
sion to visit a former friend, and
while driving out where he lived
I noticed that a bolt on my wagon
had become loose. While I was
examining it a native came along.
The horses 1 was driving were
spirited ones, and not daring to
leave them, and seeing I would
need a monkey-wrench, I asked
the new comer if he would goto
the honse near by and see if he
could borrow one for me. As a
further inducement I exhibited a
twenty five cent piece.
“ ’I’d like ter oblige ye, stran
ger,’ replied the native earnestly,
as he looked longingly at the mon
ey I held out, I really would, but,
ye see, I’ve gone out of the accom
modation bizuess. ’
“Why?’ I asked bluntly.
“‘Wal’ he answered, as he
shifted uneasily about on his feet,
‘last week I wuz cornin’ along this
yere road when I met a neighbor
of mine. “‘Bill,’” said he, ‘ “I
wish ye would go up to my house

to take any notice of. Of course
she ’pologized when hit wuz all
over, sayin’ that she thought I was
her husband, but I cau’t see how
that made matters better fer me.
That’s how things stand, straDger:
I’d really like-ter accomodate you,

“I concluded to risk the loose

A Fortune in a Dream
It has been said thatElias Howe
almost beggared himself before he
discovered where the eye of the
sewing machine needle should be
located. His original idea was to
follow the model of the ordinary
needle and have the eye at the heel.
It never occurred to him that it
should be placed at the point and
he might have failed altogether
had he not dreamed that he was
building a sewing machine for a
savage king in a savage country.
He thought the king gave him
twenty fours hours to complete the
machine and make it sew--if not
finished in this time death was to
be the punishment. He worked
and puzzled and finally gave it up.
He dreamed be was taken out to
be executed. He noticed that the
warriors carried spears pierced
through the head, and instantly
came the solution of the difficulty.
He suddenly awoke and running
to his workshop, modelled a needle
with an eye and a point. This is
the true story oT the machine
needle.
Thirty-six years ago Gen. Joseph
Wheeler had the pleasure of cap
turing the officer he is now serving
undes in Cuba. In March 1862,
William R. Shafter was a major
in the Ninteenth Michigan. He
was with a foraging expedition one
day when a body of Wheeler’s Cav

Richmond and spent six weeks io
Libby prison. Nobody in the

Henry Grady to Young Men.
Never gamble. Of all the vices
that enthrall men this is the worst,
the strongest and most insidious.
Outside the immortality of it, it
is the poorest business and poor
est fun. No man is safe that plays
at all. It is easier never to play.
I never knew a man, a gentleman,
or a man of business who did not
regret the time and money wast
ed at it. A man who plays poker
is unfit for any other business od
earth.
Never drink. I love liquor, aod
love fellowship involved in drink
ing. My safety has been that I
never drank at all. It is much
better not; to];driDk at all than to
drink a little. If I had to attribute
what I have done in life to any
one thing, I should attribute it to
the fact that I am a teetotaler. As
sure as you are born it is the best
and safest way.
If you never drink and never
gamble and marry early, there is
no limit to the useful and distin
guished life you may live. You
will be the pride of your father’s
heart and the joy of y.our mother’s.
I don’t know if there is any happi
ness on earth worth having out
side of ihe happiness of knowing
that you have done your duty and
tried to do good. You try to build
up. There are always plenty of
others who will go the tearing
down that is necessary. You try
to live in the sunshine. Men who
stay iu the shade always get mil

more mistory and more deaths
than any of these. It is so common
that nine-tenths of all the sickness

The Kind You Have Always Bought
There 5s a distinctly peculiar halo that
invests the being of an old soldier in the
eyes of the present generation. The sight
of him arouses a feeling of admiration for his
brave deeds and heroic achievements.
Among those who bravely fought was
Dr. L. J. Clark, who, when but a beardless
boy, heard the tocsin' of war sounded.
It fired his patriotic spirit to a fervency
that found relaxation only in his realisation
of fighting in the battles.
To the call of President Lincoln for troops
In the latter part of '61, young Clark
promptly responded.
There was need of men in the navy, and
he joined that service in the mortar fleet
oi Admiral Porter, which soon after began
operations on the Mississippi River.
At the terrific bombardment of the
Vicksburg forts, the hero of this story fell
on the deck of the Juliette with a shattered
arm horn a charge of schrapneL
He lay in the hospital for months, and
when he had recovered sufficiently to be
moved, was sent to bis home at 'Warren, O.
Though partly incapacitated for active
service, his patriotic real got the better of
him, and when the. call for more troops
came, young Clark enlisted in a company
formed by Capt. Joel I. Asper, at Warren.
It became Co. H.of the 7th Ohio Volun
teers and was sent to the Army of the Poto
mac under General Grant then campaigning
in Virginia against General Robert E. Lee.
In a skirmish near Richmond, he was
wounded again and was sent to the hos
pital. He remained there for some time,
but finally recovered, and went home.
Shortly after, he began the study of veter
inary surgery, and, when completed, went
to Chicago, where he has resided for thirty
years, and is now one of the leading sur
geons of that profession in the city.
His old wounds began to trouble him
several years ago. He grew weak, ema
ciated and thoroughly debilitated. His
friends began to despair of his life.
He was but a shadow of his former ttli,
weighing only 90 pounds, a loss of nearly
50 pounds. He had the best medical atten
tion, but it did not benefit him.
“ Finally a friend gave me a box of Dr.
■Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” said
Dr. Clark. "After taking the pills I was
so much benefited that I purchased a half
dozen boxes and took them.
"They were of more benefit than the
ablest physicians’ treatment. By their aid
alone, I soon regained my strength.
"I weigh ISO pounds now, and except
for injuries that can never be remedied, I
am as well as ever.
"I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People the best remedy I know of to
buildup a run-down system.”
To-day Dr. Clark is a picture of health.
He is 59 years old, an active member of
Hatch Post, G. A. R., and resides at 4935
Ashland Ave., Chicago.
Many veterans have found Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People of inestim
able value in counteracting the unhealthful
effects of army life. All druggists sell
these pills and highly recommend them.
