efforts had been given up, the keeper
of the tiilor shop one day instruoted
his men to remove the pieces of cloth,
of which there was a great quantity,

bench was entirely closed, with the ex.

ono had revealed the scheme, and the
authorities had been forewarned. Had
this plan been successful the population
of the prison would have been de-
creased some two hundred. Five years
2g0 & conviet employed in the toolshop,
which is no longer operated, made a
bold venture. The tools were packed
in boxes some three and a half feet
long, two feet wide and twenty inches
"de8p:. The man attached cleats and
& button to one of the boards
comprising the cover in such a way that
he could shut himself in. To ocneeal
the deception he. draye heads of nails
into the board so that leeked ay it it
was nailed down. The contractors had
another shop in what is known as
** Hackney,” in the northwestern part
of the eity, whither all tools were taken
before being shipped. The convict en-
soonced himself in his narrow quarters,
and the box was loaded on a wagon
with a number of others. He waited
until be thought the prison had been
aft behind, and then raised the cover
to survey his surroundings. He was
observed by the driver, a young man,
who gave a frightened yell and jumped
from the wagon. A guard bappened to
be in a grocery store in front of which
the convict made his wppearance, and
be canght a glimpse of the head in the
box. The escaping prisoner recognized
him, and, leaping from the wagon, ran
#3 fast as Lis legs would carry him.
The guard followed, and, as the fugi-
tive wonll not stop in response to re-
peated commands, fired a ball into his
ieg, which put an end to the chase,
Citizens are employed in the prison
shops in large numbers, and they pass
in and out withuut any questions being
asked. A convict once embraced the
opportanity that this practice affords.
He secured a pair of overalls and a
blouse, and shouldering a vise walked
past the gnards. When he reached the
streel he threw down the vise and made
for the country. Slipping out of the
ranks is one of the practices of convicts
#5 the preliminary step to an escape.
One cold winter morning, while it was
still dark, two convicts left their places
in line. They had previously obtained
& long piece of wire, and attaching a
hook to one end they tore np their bed-
clothing and wound it tightly about it,
This made a stiff rope; and reaching it
up they caught the hook on the bars
of the window in the story sbove.
They climbed up from window to win-
dow until they reached the roof, from
which they expected to descend to
a low side wall and drop to the ground.
Their absence had been discoy-
ered, however, and just as they were
descending they were detected by the
officers who were looking for them.
The escape of “By” Day was well
planned. He feigned sickness, and was
left in bis coli; “When the keeper
the cell-door at night Day did
not respond. Instead of compelling
the man to answer, as be should have
done, ke looked through the grated door
and saw a form lying in bed with a

per was to prevent his being disturbed
Ee. The pext morning a dummy
stuffed with straw was found in Day's
cot, but “By” bad disappeared. He

plishicg escape had been raved a
museum might be established. How
the convicts obtain these tcols isa ques-
tien easily answered. They muke them.
Instruments weighing as much as fifty
pounds have been made under the vory
- eyes of the officers, and they were none
the wiser for it. If a man is employed
abent iron-working machinery, he will
flud time to manufacture jacks, jim-
mies, levers, bars, keys, and other im.
plementa. Very often these tools sre
the finest specimens of workmanship,
d any artisan might be proud to own
ign 8s his handiwork. Complete
burglars’ kits have been manufactured
in the prison and smaggled outside to
do service in * cracking” banks.
One generous-hearted convict pro-
ed to liberate half the prisoners in
e fp~titation. He procured a picoe
gas pipe and made from it a key to
e locks of the cell doors. He had
Banned to spring the lever of his cell

are not infrequently re-
to in attempting escape.

o learns of plans to
out into the magician's hand, and a
watch movement hidden in the lid of
the box keeps up a deceptive ticking.
Such a box sells for 812.
The Indian box trick, which
favorite, is just as simple. In this a
big rough box is brought on the stage,
and several gentlemen are invited to
examine it. They find an empty box,
as roughly made as a packing case.
The nails seem to run through the cor
ners, the ends elinched into the wood
The magicians assistant is put in a bag.
The end is tied up and sealed. The
box is tied ronnd sad rognd with rope,
as well ssdovked, The bagged-up man
is laid on the tied-uy box, and a screen
is drawn in front for a short time.
When the screen is drawn back the
empty bag is seen with unbroken seal
lying on the box, which, when its cords
are untied and the loek 18 opened, is
found to contain the The

Spiritual tricks are taking well this

mechanical padlocks, and require very
little skill. They seem to be lLke
ordinary padlocks, but in some a tonch

manner that they open in a fixed time.

as its doors are elosed, and be found
sitting in the same position as securely

A Novel Torpedo Boat,
A successful trial of Captain Eries-
son's torpedo boat Destroyer took place
at the Brooklyn navy yard racently.
The strong tide off the ordnance dock
compelled a change of plan, and the
target, a square frame covered with
wire netting, was suceessfully placed in
the cove. The Destroyer was made fast
to the old Constitniion. The target
was submerged 300 yardsaway. Every-
thing being in readiness, Mr. [Larrce,
the representative ‘of tho builders of
the Destroyer, ictifiad Captain Selfringe
and Commanders Phythian and Crown-
inshield, the board appointed to exam-
ine the tests. At 8 o'clock the signal
was given and the gun wes fired. There
was but a slight report, and all that
could be noticed from the outside was a
trifling disturbance of the waters under
the bow of the vessel. Almost instant-
ly the portion of the target which was
projectile,
wo den log fifteen feet
long, leaned from the water
some tree bundred yards beyond the
playing under the
bow of a ship at sea. From this point
it rieochetted along the surface of the
| water for some two hundred yards
| The target having been raised it was
found that the netting had been pierced
almost exactly in the center and about
five feet under water. The officers pro-
nounced this trial eminently saccessful
and ordered another for this morcing
| at 9 o'clock, Tle Destroyer is sun iron
{ boat with hull almost entirely sub- |
merged. Upon this hull, placed well
: aft, is a deck-house of sheet iron. The
{hull is 130 feetlong, twelve feet wide
| and eleven feet deep. Bho is a double-
; ender and is propelled by an engine of
{ 1,000 korse-power. The s'eering ap-
| paratus and the torpedo gnun—in fact
all of her effective appointmentis—are
qelow the water level. The armament
consists of a single gun placed just |
above the keelson in the forward part
of the boat, its muzzle opening direct. |
ly into the water, which is excluded |
from it by a permanent valve hung by
an elbow joiut to the stem and opened
or closed by a piston operated at the
breech of the gun. When the gun is
to be fired the valve is raised out of the
path of the projectile and its place is
taken by a temporary valve of wood
and rubber cloth, which fits the muzzle {
tightly and is placed in+the gun after |
it is loaded. This is shattered when |
the gun is fired. As the projectile |
leaves the muzzle the permanent valve
again comes in position, the little water |
that rushes in rans through the breech |
to the bilge «nd is pumped out by a |
steam siphon. The torpedo which it is |
proposed to use in actnal warfare is a
chamber of iron or copper, large |
enough to contain 349 pounds of dyna- |
mite, and it is claimed that against this |
little vessel tho most powerful iron-
clads will be helpless, as the snbmerged |
! gun will penetrate them beneath their |
| armor, and her great speed and facility |
j of maneuveritg wonld enable her to
{get in her work among a fleet of big
| ships almost at will and with entire
| safety.

into an argumentative summing up of the
risoner's conduct, to which Mp Beoville ob.
jected, but Judge Oox didn’t see how it could
w helped, sinco the witness was giving his
grounds for thinking the prisoner wan feigning.
The witness said Guitean told him in jail that he
expected to bo pronounced insane and sent to an
asylum, but he did not mean to atay there,
for, upon looking up the law, ho found he
could apply for a commission to pass upon his
sanity, and such a commission would of course
find him sane, and he would be discharged.
Guitean, later in the day, made a pariial con.
tradiction of this testimony. ‘the witness
went extensively into the subject of insanity,
but Guitean wanted to cut him short, and sald
there were two kinds of inssnity—crank in.
sanity and the kind Abraham was afflicted
with, and he belonged to the latter school.
Dr, Macdonald was cross-examined by Colonel
Reed. Insane persons, he admitted, in some
canes doliberated and planned their acts and
provided for their escapo afterward. The fact
that a man previously harmless shonld without
provocation raise an ax against his sister
would be no evidence of sanity or insanity,
