HOW IT MAT BE APPLIED IN
HAVAL WARFARE.
The Way in Which the Inflexible,
England' Mightiest "Warship,
Can be Destroyed War Balloons.
Dynamite, a fluid capable of spon
taneous ignition, the fumes from which
are penetrating and killing, are, accord
ing 10 l'roicBsor .'uozzeroll, to bo the de
stroyers of future armies and nimcs.
Gatling and sicgo gun, mortars, shrap
nel, the thunderous chargo of cavalry,
the terrible bayonet charges of the in
fantry, are all, in the Professor's opinion,
to give place to dynamite and the fluid
which, he ajs, hngland nlrea ly knows
how to make, and which an enterprising
people like the Americans ought to use
if they get into a fight with another na
tion. In a talk w ith a New York Sun re
porter allusion was made to the big iron
clads of England, France, Italy, and
Germany, and the Professor was quite
disgusted when he spoke of how defence
less America would be should one of the
thunderers be sent across the ocean to
bombard New York. 'The English
warship Inflexible," he said, "is invul
nerable against all the warships of the
United btatos, and there is no way by
which she could bo destroyed but by
torpedoes. The United flutes haven't
even a torpedo boat that could approach
her. Why? Because they are old-fashioned,
and consist only of a spar thirty
or forty feet long attached to a small
boat. The Inflexible while at anchor has
netting around her to the distance of
thirty feet, end at night she is brilliantly
illuminated with electric lights to reveal
the approach of an enemy. If one of our
little torpedo boats attempted to get
near her she would down with her launch
in a jitfy.and direct one of her torpedoes,
steered by electricity, ri"ht bang into
her, and then where would Uncle dam's
tuppenny torpedo boat be 1 la addition,
the Inflexible carries a number of Nor
denfcldt and Htchkiss machine guns,
which can throw bullets of compressed
steel, weighing from one to six pounds,
and throw anywhere from two to 1,500
per minute. Then sho has four cijjhty
ton guns, each capable of throwing a
solid shot weighing 2,000 pounds. Ask
of the winds where America's navy
would be if the Inflexible ever got down
right mad."
The Professor said the foregoing was
only part of the Inrlexible's load of mis
ery. "Why," ho said, "she could stand
seven miles out to sea and throw shot and
shell slap bang into New York, Brook
lyn.and New Jersey, and set fire to them
in a few hours. She could do this w ith
shells filled with the spontaneous burn
ing fluid to which I passingly alluded a
few moments ago. This fluid is a c om
bination of white phosphorus dissolved
by bi-sulphide of carbon. The shell is
filled with it, and when it strikes the
fluid ignites, and no living being can
stand the fumes from the fluid longer
than a minute. England has 20,000 of
these shells lying in Woolwich Arsenal
ready to be filled on the shortest possible
order. The Inflexible could throw a shell
every minute for hours, and New York
would be destroyed in no time."
"How could tho Inflexible be de
stroyed?'' asked tho reporter.
"Well.her walls are forty-eight inches
thick opposite the engines and her mag
azine, twenty-four inches of which aie
sreel plate, aud this armor extends ten or
twelve feet under water. A torpedo
boat would require to strike her at least
fourteen feet below the w ater line,whi;re
the armor is but twenty-four iuches
thick. America has nothing that could
do even that. Wasn't it shown at the
trials of the 100-ton Armstrong gun at
Spezzia that the projectile from even
that tremendous gun could only pierce
twenty-two-inch armor f The projectiles
from America's biggest gun would do no
more injury to the Inflexible than if they
were so much hail."
"Then how could we fight a vessel
with such powerful engines of war?'
"There are two ways by which we
could destroy her. One is to ouild a few
fast cruisers of say three thousand tons
displacement, and send hulf a dozen of
them against her at tho ' same time.
While ihey were pouring their fire into
her two or three more could go at her
full speed and ram her. The Inflexible
cannot lower her eighty-ton gun below
an angle of ten degrees, so the cruisers
couldn't be hurt by them much at short
range. Then the truis.rs that hud
rammed her could throw on to her deck
shells tilled with tho spontaneous burn
ing fluid. The Inflexible is fireproof!
Why, of course she is, but the fumes
from the fluid would kill all tho men on
board. That is one way of getting rid
of the Inflexible. Tho other way would
be to build torpedo boats at least one
hundred feet long, with a sp ed of forty
knots an hour, huving reversible engines,
and the boat so constructed that the
highest part of tho declSvould only be
one foot above (he water.' Tho bullets
from the machine guns on the Inflexible
would fall harmlessly upon the little
boat, and nt her rate of speed it would
be impossible to truin the cighty-ton-ners
on her, as it takes several minutes
to get them into position. Murtoipedo
boat should have in her bow u gun at
least fourteen feet under water which
could throw a contact torpedo that would
strike tne inflexible below li-r twenty
four inch armor plates. Tho torpedo
could be thrown just as well under the
water as above. In addition to this she
should carry a hollow steel tube of great
power which could be runout seventy
live feet when she comes within short
distance of tho enemy. On the end of
this tube should be a three hundred
pound dynamite torpedo which would
evplodn tae moment it came in contact
with tho sides of the Inflexible. To
be perfectly scientific our new
torpedo bout should have as
I maintained tight years ago,
another tube uixl a force pump to throw
this spontaneous burning fluid in bulk on
the enemy's d;i k. Such a boat coubl be
built for $100,( 00. The cruiser .New
Yoikisto tost f:i,.')00,( 01. Thirty-five
torpedo boats that could defy the world
co ild be built for that price. Moreover,
these torpedo bouts could go through
any feca. They bhould be built in lil'e
taving sections, six feet square, with
walls about eiizht feet thick, of cork
wood dippi d in boiling parallice oil.
Then to render her invulnerable against
the Inrlexible's machine guns and large
piojcctiles, her deck should be made of
compressed steel at least fifteen inches
thick, laid upon a composite material, so
that if it were even possible for thf ene
my to throw on to her dock dynamite
shells of any size the force of the explo
sion would exhaust itself on the chrome
steel deck and tho tough composite be
neath would yield only somewhat to the
remainder of the explosive force."
Another idea of the Professor's is that
Congress should appropriate f 2,000,000
right away for the construction of fifty
laruo war balloons to take tho place of
ironclads. These balloons should be
able to cairy 5,000 pounds of the spon
taneous burning fluid, to be used as fol
lows: "The balloon car should contain an
apparatus bv which a steel wire and an
chor could be lowered and tho balloon
bo thus moored as near the fleet as possi
ble. Down this same wire contact tor
pedoes should be lowered into the ocean ;
so made as to float ten lcct under water
and placed so that the tido would carry
them to the ironclads of the enemy: each
two of these torpedoes should be at
tached, say thirty feet apart, so that they
would be almost sure to catch tho war
ships. Other torpedoes containing the
spontaneous burning fluid should bo
dropped into the ocean, and so made that
they would explode the moment they
struck the water. By such a use of high
explosives, if two balloons were to attack
each vessel the entire fleet could bo soon
destroyed.
The Lnrjrcst Farm in the World.
In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies tho largest producing farm
in the world. It runs 100 miles noith
and south and twenty-five miles cast and
west, nnd is owned and operated by a
syndicate of Northern capitalists. Their
general manager, .Mr. J. B. Watkins,
gives an interesting account of this gi
gantic plantation, which throws tho
great Dalrymplo farm of Dakota into the
shade completely. He was cornered by
a reporter at the !?t. .lames Hotel and
asked fc give the particulars of his gi
gantic enterprise "The million and a
half acres of land in our tract," .Mr. Wat
kins said, "was purchased in 18S3 from
the State of Louisiana and from the
United States Government. At that
time it was a vast grazing land for tho
cattle of tho few dealers ot the ncighbur-
nood. hen 1 took possession 1 lound
over ;. 0,000 head of half-wild horses and
cattle, ily tirst work was to divide tho
immense tract into convenient pastures.
establishing stations or ranches every six
miles. Tho fencing aloue cost in the
neighborhood, of $60,000. The land I
found to best adapted to rice, sugar.
corn, and cotton.
"All our cultivating, ditching, etc., is
done by steam power. We take a tract,
say half a mile wide for instance, and
place an engine at each side. Thorts en
gines are portable, and operate a cable
attached to four plows, and under this
arrangement we are able to plow thirty
acres a day with only the labor of three
meu. Our harrowing, planting, and cul
tivating is done in a like manner. In
fact, there is not a draught horse on tho
entire place. We have, of course, horses
for tho herders of cattle of which wo now
have 10,000 head. The Southern Pacific
linilroad runs for thirty -six miles through
our farm. We have three steamboats
operating on the waters of our own es
tate, upon which there are 300 miles of
navigablo waters. We have an ice fac
tory, a bank, a shipyard and a rice mill."

Old Men in Congress.
There are may-headed men in Con
gress and the Indianapolis Journal thus
names some of them:
There is a great deal of old material
yet in Congress, despite tho fact that
many of the statcsmanic landmarks have
been removed during the past few years.
In tho Senate Morrill, of Vermont, stands
out as the oldest man, being seventy-six
years of age, while hi.s colleague, Ed
munds, is sixty-eight, rayne, of Ohio,
is also seventy-six yean old, but falls
short of Morrill by seven months. Dawes,
of .Massachusetts, is seventy, although he
does not look sixty-live. Wado Hamp
ton, of South Carolina, Evarts, of New
iork, and Sawyer, of Wisconsin, huve
withstood the blasts of sixty-eight win
ters and the heat of as many summers.
l.viirts looks much the oldest of the trio.
Conger, of Michigan, is spry, but has
worn bixty-nine years. Hson, of Mary
land, and . Brown, of Georgia, are each
sixty-five, while Beck, of Kentucky, is
sixty-four. Pugh, of Alabama, is sixty
six, and Saulsbury, the bachelor from
Delaware, is sixty-nine.
There is no one in the House so old as
the two oldest Senators. Judge Kelly,
tho father of tho House, the venerable
Pennsylvania protectionist, leads the list.
He is seventy-two, but Lldridge, of
.Michigan, it n said, is quite us old.
Plumb, of Illinois, is seventy, while the
directory records VVaite, of Connecticut,
at seventy-live, which must bo an error.
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is sisty-nlne,
Jeagan, the hx-l onfcilernte Postmaster
General and Treasurer, the prideof Texas,
is sixty-eght, us is ulso Singleton, of Mis
sissippi. Barbour, of Virginia, is sixty
six, ditto Lindslcy, of New York. Char
ley O'iNeill, of Pennsylvania, is sixty
live, Wadsworth, of New York, the same,
and Geddes, of Ohio, makes up a good
sixty-two. The old men in the Senate
seem t be much more aged in actions
than those in the House.
His Little Girl.
As is known, the daughter of Mc
Vicker, tho elder, married Edwin
Booth, but it is not generally known
that when their marital relations became
stiained that Me.Yk.ker sided with his
daughter, and that Horace McYicker
i her brother; took up Booth's cause.
This led to au estrangement between
McYicker and his son that absolutely
separated them. Time passed on with
out the breach being healed or over
tures being made. One day, long after
the fit'fct trouble, McYicker pere, journey
ing on the tars, by chance made tho
ai (piuintanee of a littlo girl a niero
child w hose beauty aud w inning w ays
fascinated him.
.lust before he left tho cars ho asked
her her name, and blie answered ".Mc
Yi ker." Scarce believing his ears, the
old man went to the child's nurse and in
mi led again as to her name. "Sho is
tba child of Horace, .McYicker," was the
reply. Without a word the father wroto
on a card: "Horace, come to me nt
onre," signed his name to it und sent it
by the nurse to his son. The child had
softened his heart and brought together
. once for nil time tb father and son.

Hints ! f imnlui,
Consumptives should use food aa nourishing
as can be had, and In a shape that will beat
agree with the stomach and taata of the pa
tient. Out-door exercise Is earnestly recommended
If you are unable to take such eierclse on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself ln-doors, but you
should take exercise In a carriage, or In some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which canse expectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years phy
sicians have tried to enre Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great derangement of the secretions, with
engorgement of air-cells, there Is always
profuse expectoration. Now Pino'a Cure re
moves the engorgement and the derangement
of the secretions, and consequently, (and In
this way only) diminishes the amount of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine doe not dry
up a cough, but removes th cause of it.
When it is Impossible from debility or other
causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart
ments occupied by the patient should be so
ventilated as to ensure the constant accession
of fresh air In abundance.
The surface of the body should be sponged
as often as every third day with tepid water
and a little soft-soap. (This is preferable to
any other.) After thoroughly drying, use
friction with the hand moistened with olL
Cod-Liver or Olive Is the best. Thi keeps th
pores of the skin in a soft, pliable condition,
which contributes materially to the unloading
of waste matter from th system through this
orgau. You will please recolleoi we cur this
disease by enabling the organs of the sysiem
to perform their functions In a normal way,
or, in other woids, we remove obstruction-,
while the recuperative powers of the system
cure the disease.
We will here say a word In regard to a cough
In the forming stage, where there is no con
stitutional or noticeable disease. A cough
may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take
it in its mildest form, to Bay the least, it 1 a
nuisance, and should be abated.
A cough is unlike any other symptom of dis
ease. It stands a conspirator, with threaten
ing voice, menacing the health and existence
of a vital organ. Its first approach is in whis
pers unintelligible, and at 11 rat too often un
heeded, but in time It never falls to ma Itself
understood never fails to claim the attention
of those on whom it calls.
It you have a cough without disease of the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so
much the better, as a few do-e of Piso's Cure
will be all you may need, while If you ro far
advanced in Consumption, several bottle may
be required to effect a permanent cure.
