ELECTRICITY ON SHIPS. HOW MODERN MEN OF WAR UTILIZE VALUABLE INVENTIONS This New Force Puts a Vessel into the Hands of One Man—Search Lights Manipulated, Guns Fired, Torpedoes Murred and Ships Piloted by Electricity. Electricity on ships of war is purely an American idea, and was first tried on the United States steamer Trenton in 1953. Soon after the system had been tested the vessel sailed on a three year cruise, and attracted much attention as the first war vessel afford to be lighted by electricity. The success of the Trenton's experiment, practically settled the question in naval circles. Through the exertions of Lieut. Commander R. B. Bradford, who was the Trenton's executive officer, electric lights were placed on the Vermont, New Hampshire, Omaha, Dolphin and Chicago. Each cruiser has about 200 lights, and the gunboats about 250, with sufficient supplies to last three years. All the cutouts and switches are made water tight and tested by turning a stream of water on any part of the circuit. There are innumerable devices by which electricity is made useful on board ship. The value of the search light cannot be estimated, as mounting parts, torpedo boats or swift steam launches can be detected a mile away on the darkest night. As a motive power for small machines it is invaluable, and on the Chicago will be brought into play for training the huge guns of the main battery. It is used also for discharging the rifled ordnance and the entire system is under the absolute control of the commander from his position in the fighting tower. He requires no uncertaint assistants to place him in communication with the various departments of the complex machines. Electrical devices perform all the duties, transmit the orders and control the movements with far greater accuracy and safety than would be possible by the old methods. The simple pressure of a button endows the huge monster with life and activity, causing 10,000 tons to glide smoothly through the water at a speed of twenty knots. At the touch of a second button the great shield swing not only inside and huge apertures are disclosed, filled the next instant by powerful rifled breech loaders. There is a bush, a moment of expectancy, as the commander appears through the little slot on a level with his eye in the tower, touches a third button, and the cruiser vomits forth shoots of flame. The long steel shot dart through space at the rate of 2,000 feet in a second; bow, stern and broadside respond in one terrific roar, and crash! the fabric trembles beneath the simultaneous explosion of 6,000 pounds of powder, and 12,000 pounds of metal are sent whirling through the air by means of the ORANGETREES FOR 1889. Great Reduction in Prices. FIRST CLASS TREES. The best Orange Trees are now within the reach of all platters.

ORANGE AND VINEYARD LANDS AT LOW PRICES. Seal for circulars. J. H. FOUNTAIN & CO. RIVERSIDE, CAL. E. E. MORRIS, Manager California Dept. Amory Bigelow, Commission Merchant & Jobber In The largest pressure of a button known by the huge monster with life and activity, causing 10,000 tons to glide smoothly through the water at a speed of twenty knots. At the touch of a second button the great shield swing noteworthy aside and huge apertures are disclosed, filled the next instant by powerful riffled breech loaders. There is a bush, a moment of expectancy, as the commander appears through the little slot on a level with his eye in the tower, touches a third button, and the cruiser vomits forth sheets of flame. The long steel shot dart through space at the rate of 2,000 feet in a second; bow, stern and broadside respond in one terrific roar, and crash! the fabric trembles beneath the simultaneous explosion of 6,000 pounds of powder, and 12,000 pounds of metal are sent whizzing through the air by means of the electric slave of the dynamo. The mercur motion of the little polished lever directly in front of the captain brings the powerful search light into action and sends a dazzling beam through the dark void. To the left protrudes still another concave innocent appearing globe, which controls a silent, though potent and death dealing auxiliary. A slight click is heard, a puff of white smoke and the Whitehead torpedoes glide from their smooth tubes and are driven through the water at the rates of thirty miles an hour. An electric bell signals the officer in charge of the quick firing and machine guns when to play his part and ere the gong has ceased to vibrate, thousands upon thousands of explosive projectiles are flying through the air at the rate of 1,000 feet per second. A FEARFUL RESPONSIBILITY. The latest electric appliance is a system of engine room telegraph, invented by J. B. Wallis, an Englishman. It has been thoroughly tested in the royal navy, and adopted on her majesty's ships Camperdown, Rodney and Aurora. It is also fitted to the Magician and the Marathon, two second class twin screw cruisers. The Wallis system comprises an engine room telegraph, a revolution order telegraph and a steering telegraph, the principle being the same in each case. The engine room telegraph consists of a combined transmitter and reply indicator, inclosed in a case mounted on a pedestal. This instrument has a dial, around which the orders to be transmitted are distinctly marked, and a handle at the back turns a pointer to the desired command. The moving of the handle or lever gives the "attention" signal to the engineer. The engineer putting his lever over causes it to be sounded on the bridge, which calls attention to the fact that he is acknowledging the order and repeating it back. The revolution telegraph is a simple means of transmitting to the engineer the number of revolutions at which the commander wishes the engine to run. The admiral may signal to the fleet that he is going at seventy revolutions which signal has to be repeated to the engineers, in order that all the vessels may keep in line with the flagship. The steering telegraph is another application of the same principle. The transmitter and receiver are similar to those of the engine room telegraph; the latter being ingeniously attached to the rudder, which makes the record automatically. In connection with the steam steering wheel, which in the fighting tower of an iron old is directly under the commander's control, he has at his disposal a terrible and decisive weapon once it is put in motion. Projecting a number of foot in advance is the ram attachment, its proportions and deadly qualities concealed under water. Emerging from whirling clouds of battle, guided by the will of the commander, the great fabric, impelled by the combined strength of the immense engines, with furnaces glowing and steam hissing, the cruiser rushes straight onward prepared to crash into its opponent. A single hand guides the modern engine of that man that this instant may be running.

A single hand guides the modern engine of war that the next instant may be tearing and reading solid oak and steel plates that have afforded protection and a home for hundreds of brave men. To inflict such a blow involves the life or death of the entire ship's company, and with the destruction and sinking of the ironclad hundreds of human beings are ushered into eternity. It is a fearful responsibility to assume, a tremendous power to be vested in the hands of one man, and well may the commander of a modern cruiser pause, weighing all the mighty considerations involved are be immunised himself in his fighting tower wherein lies life or death, only to be let loose at his will and bidding.—New York World. Halves and Quarter. It is strange how long some men will live without ever waking up to the perception of certain truths which to the common mind self-evident. An old bachelor, who was quite a wit, lived alone in a very uncomfortable looking place, and his apartments were always in great disorder. "Why don't you get married?" said a friend one day. "Then you would have some one to fix up things here, and make it look home like." "The fact is I've never thought of it," said he, "but it does look reasonable that a better half would make better quarters."—Canners and Grocery Gazette. A contributor to Nouveaux Remedes cites a statement by a Brazilian physician to the effect that in hot countries files are the most active agents in the propagation of yellow fever, and adds that M. Spilmann and M. Hanstoutter attribute the same role to those insects in spreading pulmonary consumption. When a fly has lingered on the tuberculous sputa, it is said, its intestine and excreta contain the bacteria of tuberculosis, which it may deposit on the various articles in an apartment. Files are credited also with being the chief instrument in the dissemination of Egyptian ophthalmia, and Koch is cited as of the opinion that they may play the same part in spread- Halves and Quarter.
