MODERN TORHiPO BOATS.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF POWERFUL
VESSELS OF WAR.

The most noted torpedo-boat builders
of the world are Messrs. Yarrow and
Messrs. Thornyeroft, of London. Each
of these great firms employs from 1,000
to 1,200 workmen, and can turn out at
least one completed boat per week. The
chief peculiarity of torpedo-boats is their
almost phenomenal speed. They are
built of steel, the different classes ranging
in length from fifty-Jive feet, intended for
harbor defence, lo vessels of KiO feet,
capable of making nn extended cruise at
sea. The Falke, a boat recently built by
the Messrs. Yarrow for the Anstro-Hun-garian
Government, is 13") feet long, four
teen feet wide, draught of water live feet
six inches, and attained on the trial trip
a speed of twenty-live and one-half miles
per hour. The armament consists of two
Jsordenfoldt machine-guns, carried on
deck, and two bow-tubes for discharging
Whitehead torpedoes.
The development of torpedo-boats i
now so rapidly progressing that any de
scription becomes almost out of date dur
ing the writing. A vessel just completed
by the Messier Yarrow for the Japanese
Government is the largest that has been
yet built. It is lfi feet long, nineteen
feet wide, is provided with twin' screws,
to give greater facility in turning, and
maintains a speed of twenty-four miles
per hour. The engines are protected by
a steel deck one inch thick; and, in addi
tion to two bow-tubes for discharging
torpedoes directly ahead, two turn-tables
are mounted on deck, from which torpe
does can be launched in any desired di
rection. Very similar in their construction, and
no less famous for speed and manoeuvring
qualities, are the boats built by the
Messrs. Thornyeroft.
In this couutry,the Messrs. Herreshoff,
of Bristol, R. I., have built a number tf
very fast boats, designed to be tiscd with
torpedoes. One of these is the noted
steam-yacht Stiletto, which may well be
taken as a representative of the American
type. The Stiletto is built of wood,with
iron braces; length, ninety-four feet;
width, eleven feet; draught of water,
four feet six inches, and has attained a
speed of twenty-live miles per hour.
A very formidable torpedo-vessel lias
been built in recent years by that great
est of living engineers, Captain John
Ericsson, It has been appropriately
named the Destroyer. Once, at a critical
moment in the history of our country, as
every American well knows, Captain
Ericsson came to the rescue with a Mon
itor. Since then his genius, energy,
nnd mechanical f kill have been devoted
to the problem of saving our great coast
cities from destruction, in the event of
war with a foreign naval power.
The result of these years of study and
experimenting is the Destroyer, armed
with a torpedo-gun which discharges
under the water a projectile carrying a
charge sufficient to sink the largest iron
clad afloat. The submarine gun is mounted
in the bow of the vessel, near the keel, and
is thus nearly ten feet below the surface of
the water. It consists of a cylinder of
gun-metal, or steel, thirty feet long, ad
ditionally strengthened at the breech by
broad steel rings. It is loaded at the
breech, the muzzle being encased by the
vessel's stem, and closed by a valve to
exclude the water. This valve is opened
by suitable levers just before the gun is
to be discharged, and closes automatic
ally as the projectile leaves the muzzle.
The projectile is a steel torpedo, twenty
live feet long, sixteen inches in diameter,
anil carrying a charge of 300 pounds of
gun-cotton. It bus a range of MO feet
during the first three seconds of its flight.
The form of the torpedo is cylindrical,
with a conical point in which is placed
the percussion-lock and liriug-pin, and
the explosion takes place upon impact.

Biff Doctor's Bills.
The public often marvels at the prices
paid by rich persons for art objects.
Greater surprise might be caused by the
sums given to physicians for the preser
vation of health. It has been said that
Miss Wolfe, the hopeless invalid, owner
oi $iu,uuo,UuO, pays Dr. William Tod
Helmut h $0,000 a year to doctor her. She
confirms those figures. Mi s. Alexandei
T. Stewart retained three doctors ut an
aggregate cost of at least $10,000, and
called in one of thein nearly every day.
She had what seemed like a system, by
which bhe abided by the decision of two
out of three in matters of diet and medi
cine. Mrs. William Astor pays to Dr.
Fordicc Barker personally nn average of
$20,000, always sending a check for
double or treble the amount of each bill
rendered. Her idea is that by rewarding
liis t-kill and vigilance liberally she will
get the very best service of which he ia
capable. Mrs. Cornelius Yunderbilt'
physician is Dr. W. S. Belden, and
I hough her health is excellent lie is con
sulted often, prevention being iiieferable
to cure, doubtless, and the belief is that
the prevention costs not less than $10,000
annually. Acw l urk Lttttr.

One of the publishers of Hoye's Direc
tory, speaking of the Western cities and the
Frevailing b(xm, writes as follows of St.
oseph, where he has just issued the Di
rectory for 1S.S7: "Not only has St. Joseph
increased in population at a most satisfac
tory rate, there being an increase in one
year of 5.H40, while the total population in
round numbers is shown to be 00,000; but
she has undergone a spirited revival that
augurs the outstripping of all competition.
Ten years ago the city had scarcely a dozen
manufactories, whereas the year '87 rinds
her with some 170 of all kinds, with thirteen
railroads, the largest stockyards west of
Chicago, some thirteen miles of streets,
paved with asphaltuin. and as many miles
more under contract-, with the electric motor
soon to lx in operation on two of the car
lines, and the cable line an assured fact, and
new enterprises springing up daily on every
hand. 1 he demand for real estate has
been steady and active. For the past year
St. Joseph has led almost continually the
other cities of the United States in bank
clearances, the per cent, of increase over
18N1 reaching iu one case 140.7, and up to
tiate maintaining an average of almost UK).
Down to Dec. lssti, St. Joseph's job
bing, houses ilid a business of $110,59,
(loo, showing an increase in the business of
18s; over that of In'm of 2;l,lll,02H. A
fair indication of the increasing business
may be sought in the fact that St. Joseph
now employs a force of commercial travelers
numoering i,ui. men.'
bt. Joseph, more than any other West
ern town, olfers the best inducements to
men of small capital to commence a nianu-
lactunng business, ana to mechanics and
laborers to find employment aud build de
sirable homes.

A Clever Canine.
Fanner Davidson, of Newcastle, Penn.,
hits on his premises a bell hung at the top
of a twelve-foot post, aud rung by a rope
which huugs nearly to the ground, lie
also has a dog w hich used to sleep out of
doors. The oilier night the family was
awakened by a loud peal from the bell.
Mr. Davidson looked out and saw no one.
He went to bed again, and again the bell
rang. Again ho opened the door and
looked tint. Noboby was iu sight, and
the dog, which was at the door, did not
seem excited, except when his master
would not let him in. After being dis
tuibed by the bell teveral times, Mr.
Davidson watched from the window, nnd
the mystery w.is explained. The dog
would ling the bell and then run to the
door to go in when it was opened. He
was permitted to sleep in the house that
night.
Do StoTe-ripe Hats Make Hold Heads!
Tho habit of wearing warm coverings
on tho head is not of recent date; Hie
armies of Europe, for instance, no incon
siderable number of men, with heads
close cropped, have worn for n long
period warmer and heavier head-gear
than the modern dwellers in cities, with
out the same tendency to baldness. Nor
are the heavy fur coverings of northern
races incompatible with luxuriant hair. It
is also difhcult to understand what in
jury can result from close cutting, per nr.
The growth is in the hair-follicle, nnd in
it alone; there is no vital connection be
tween the hair outside the scalp nnd with
in ; it is usually cut closest at the back of
the head and neck, where baldness never
occurs. Would not close cutting ratlr
stimulate the growth by exposure of the
scalp? Such at least is the popular belief.
So, too, with indoor life; women, who
ought to show it most, whether in the
home or in the factory, nre never bald as
men nre; on the contrary, it is most com
mon with men in good circumstances, as
Mr. Eaton's statistics show, men who
spend a larger proportion of their day
time in the open air than the indoor
worker.
I believe the common form of baldness
is due entirely to the kind of hat that is
worn, principally to the high hat and the
hard felt hnt, but also to nnv other head-
covering that constricts the blood-vessels
which nourish the hair-bulbs. To have
a clearer understanding of this, we must
remember thnt the scalp is supplied with
blood by arteries at the back, sides, and
front of, and lying closo to, the skull,
which diminish in size by frequent
branching as they converge toward the
top of the head. They are in a most
favorable position to be compressed, ly
ing on unyielding bone and covered by
thin tissue. Consider what effect must
be produced by a close-fitting, heavy,
nnd rigid hat; its pressure must lessen to
a certain extent the now of arterial blood,
and obstruct to a greater extent the re
turn of the venous; the result being a
sluggish circulation in tho capillaries
around the hair follicles and bulbs, a con
sequent impairment of nutrition, and
final atrophy. This pressure is not
trivial or imaginary, as any one will ad
mit who has noticed the red band of con
gestion on the forehead when a hard Imt
is removed after moderate exercise.

Evening Funeral Serv.'ecs.
Evening funeral services nre becoming
very frequent. It is urged in favor of
the growing custom that it affords gentle
man opportunities for attendance that
they can hardly take during business
hours. Besides this creat convenience
distressing scenes of parting with the
dead loved are kept from the gaze of the
curious and unsympathetic. Upon the
score of economy, too, it is, to be com
mended. The remains are kept over
night and the next morning they are
unostentatiously removed to the place of
burial, followed by only a few carria;'S
with the nearest relatives and family inti
mates. And enrringe hire is a prominent
item in an undertaker's bill. From Har

Pardee Medicine Co:
Gents: I desire to express to you some
thing of my feelings of gratitude for what
your remedy hug done for me. For fifteen
years I have suffered greatly with neuralgia.
At times the pain has been so intense that
death would have been a welcome relief. It
affected my eyes to such an extent that for a
time I -was totally blind and gave up all
hojie of recovery, no treatment I could pro
cure affording me even temporary relief. I
have used Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy
for several months and to-day I am as well
and as free from all neuralgic pains as when
a boy.
Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy has cured
me and I am positive it will cure any case of
neuralgia or rheumatism, and I shall recom
mend it to all.
I would not again suffer what I have for
five thousand dollars.
Yours respectfully, D. W. MILLER,
Engineer, N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R.

of medicine, but obtained no relief. I was
ur(;ed to try Dr. Pardee's Remedy, but it wis
with great reluctance that 1 did no, as I had
no faith whatever in it. But I am fully con
vinced from personal experience that it is a
positive cure for this dreaded disease, and I
can recommend it as a remedy worthy the
confidence of all. Am loelmg better than I
have for ten years, and attribute it all to vr.

Uvilla, W. Va., )
Nov. 17, 1886. J
Recently I bought a
young horse. He was
taken very ill with Pneu
monia. I tried to think
of something to relieve
him. Concluded what
was good for man would
be good for the horse.
So I got a bottle of Piso's
Cure and gave him half
of it through the nos
trils. This helped him,
and I continued giving
same doses night and
morning until I had
used two bottles. The
horse has become per
fectly sound. I can re
commend Piso's Cure for
the horse as well as for
man.
