TERfiOUOF THE SEAS UNCLE SAM'S FIRST STEAM WARSHIP, THE DEMOLOGOS. Kullim'n Manler|iiece Thai Startled 1011 Kill ml. liul Was Never In a Fight—Her Peaceful Career Elided In ii ii 1 nfort uuate Tragedy. In these days of naval activity all over the world, when « acli new scheme In marine architecture is perfected only to be surpassed by some newer inven tion, it is seldom recalled that the first steam battleship the world ever saw was built by an American l'or America. The story of the l'emologos is an all but forgotten incident in naval annals, yet she was the wonder of her day and her career, before her mysterious and tragic passing, quite picturesque , enough to warrant the retelling. Planned by Robert Pulton, built by order of James Madison, the Deiuolo gos appears In history in IMI. '1 hose were days when the good folk of the towns along the Atlantic sea <iard walked in fear of attack froi; aig!;- : s ships and slept lightly thro bled dreams. Our fleet of i <teers had borne themselves gaP niy mil well at sea, but the coast lay uqcc tectcd. President Madison and his ad (j risers at Washington were quite as much concerned over this as the fish ermen of Maine and Itclaware, and then came Puiton with his proposal of a "floating I attery." The Strang' little en ft of his sugges tion corresponds most nearly perhaps to what we of today might call an un prot till gu iboat .or ■ >ast and harbor service, but she 1.;. d freak" features. In addition To the boilers that were to supply steam for tin lirst time to a lighting ship she was <o be fitted with furn, i -in which lie shot might be 1. ate! I. fore tirliif. 1 n addition to her tw n si- thirty-two pounders she was To cany four guns, t\ o forward and two aft, which it was planned should be hung over bow or stern, as the ease be, with the idea of discharging heavy shot into the side of an enemy well below the water line. She was to be tilled with puir.ps and pipes through which large quantities of water might be spouted upon the «i« cks and into the ports of her adversary. "She will be tlie most formidable fighting ship ever constructed," wrote Mr. Pulton in con clusion. The scoffers laughed, and the ob jectors argued, but James Madison ap proved and worked to such good pur pose that on March 14. lsl I, the houses of congress appropriated $22u,000 to build the crjift. Pulton was named engineer, and before June had passed the keel had been laid i:t the New York yards of Adam \ Noah Rrowu. On < ict. 29 she was launched, the focus of u national celebration, with thousands gathered along the river fronts and upon the shipping that tilled New York bay to cheer, not the Pulton the Pirst, as the president had suggested the vessel be christened, but the I>e mologos, or "defender of the people," a name chosen by the designer himself, who turned to the classics as well as to the elements for his inspirations. She was a mighty craft. The Ixiiler, over which the doubters shook their heads in fear, was Uli 112• ft long by I*2 wide and 8 deep. Her 2,-l~r> tons were to be driven by a water wheel sixteen feet in diameter. She was l.V> feet over all. W1 feet beam, and her greatest depth was 20 feet. This Is how the commission intrusted by President Madison with her con struction described the Demologos: "Hhe Is u vessel resting upon two keels, separated from end to end by a canal fifteen feet wide and sixty-six long. One section contains the caldrons of copper to prepare her steam. The vast cylinder of iron, with its piston, levers and wheels, occupies the other. The great water wheel revolves in the space between. She Is propelled by her en ginery alone. "The main, or gun, deck supports her armament and is protected by a bul wark four feet ten inches thick of sol- Id timber. This is pierced by portholes to enable her ."2 pounders to lire redhot shot. Her upper, or spur, deck Is plain." Small wonder that England was ter rified! One of the London Journals whose agent in New York had gath ered his Information through many devious channels gave this account of the Oemoiogos under the line "Terror of the Seas;" "Length on deck, feet; breadth, 200 feet; thickness of sides, l.'i feet, of alternate oak planks and cork wood; carries forty-two guns, four of which are lim pounders, the quarter deck and forecastle guns being IIp« under-. Fur ther to annoy an enemy attempting to board her, she can discharge 100 gal lons of boiling water a minute and by mechanism brandish .'!(»(» cutlasses with the utmost regularity over her gun wales; works also on an equal num ber of iron dices of great length, dash ing them from her sides with prodi gious force and withdrawing them ev ery quarter of a minute." But this marvelous and dreaded ves sel never faced an English foe. She made her trial trips, three of them, in the summer of Is]", establishing a "record" of fifty-three miles in eight hours without her armament and of five and a half miles an hour when fully fitted. And then, just as -lie might have cut for herself a place In history with her redhot shot and boil ing water and "submarine" guns, peace With England was declared. The good Oemologos was never put Into commission. What had a country at peace with all the world to do with •o formidable a craft? She 1< complet ed, they said at and she can l»o got ready for service at short notice. Send her over to the new navy yard at Brooklyn. And so the "terror of the seas" crossed the bay and steam ed up the East river and was aichored off the flat that lay abreast of the sta tlon in those days, when river and har l»or Improvement committees were thin, s not yet imagined. Anil there for fourteen years she watched the chang ing seasons, her protected wheel, nnoll ed, asleep in its well, her water unboil ed and her shot unhealed, yet not whol ly useless, for she was the receiving ship. The end came on a June evening in IM2'.», came suddenly, mysteriously, tragically.

THE MAN WITH C/>e BROWN BEARD [Original.] At the first station after crossing the Russian border a man got into the compartment, took a seat directly op posite me, pulled out a newspaper and began to read. I was reading too. Presently, probably actuated by thought transference, probably by co incidence, we raised our eyes to each ! other at the same moment. The man ! turned quickly and looked out of the i window. I resumed my reading. When I looked up :.gain his eyes were flxed upon me. I caietully noted the man's appear ance. lie wore a brown beard, while his hair \\ black and sprinkled with gray, lie was tall and slender, with | a siigld si oop. He looked more ro i spcctable than his clothes, which were j very shabby. j That e. cuing while at supper at my i i.in 1 tl< ::ly felt an Inclination to ii My eyes met those of tlie iii ..i Willi tib; own beard. This time i .. was a -hi scowl on his face. ... he 1 cred ' eyes to his plate and vi 'it *:i \\ ! is -upper. j i_ i proceeded on my journey, stopping again the next even ing. While sitting In the office smok ing who should come in but this man, who 1 was now fully convinced was shadowing me. As he passed me he started, but whether his surprise wns real or feigned I could not make out. lie put down his belongings, except a morocco covered box. A servant who gathered up the traps attempted to take the box as well, but the lima held onto It nervously. I am something of a detective, and the incident, though trifling, interested me. Wus not the box an infernal ma chine, and did not the man take me for a high Russian ofllcial traveling Incog? •*be next day I took a train for St. Petersburg, not needing to stop over night, for the distance was but a hun ted miles. On entering my compart ment I noticed that there was but a single person in it besides myself. Tak ing my seat, I let down a window for better air, arranged my belongings, then, while taking a book from my satchel, glanced at my fellow passen ger. He was the man with the brown beard. A moment later, though I was not looking directly at him, I saw him tug ging at something under his overcoat, as though he were getting a revolver into a position where he eould use it expeditiously. My conscience was so clear of any intention that would call his weapon into service that I simply gave him a contemptuous glance, then, opening my book, began to read. After awhile I dropped It on my lap and sank into a light slumber. Ilut before losing consciousness I saw my shadow er nervously reaching under his seat to feel for his box and casting suspi cious glances at me. I was awakened by something strik ing heavily against mo. Opening my eyes, I saw the man with the brown beard trying to regain his balance, having evidently been thrown upon me by a lurch of the coach. Hut what was my surprise and, I will admit, con sternation to see that he held a re volver within a foot of my nose. "Sit still!" he cried In English. "If you dare move I'll blow out your brains!" Thunderstruck, especially at being addressed in my native tongue, I made no reply. "Your game is blocked," he said. "My game?" "Yes. I liave you covered and at the next station shall turn you over to the police." "Does the czar employ English de tectives?" "You can't throw me off the track by assuming to be a nihilist. I know your intentions." "Well, I'll be obliged to you if you will tell me what they are." "What they are? You know very well what they are—the jewels." "What Jewels?" I'erhaps it was my unfeigned look of astonishment that threw a shade of doubt, of perplexity, across his face. "I>o you mean to tell me," he said, "that you have not Information con cerning me and my acts; that you have not shadowed me ever since 1 crossed the border; that you have not been waiting an opportunity to possess yourself of the treasure; that before we had been long in this compartment you would have chloroformed me, seized my box and left the train at the first stop?" I had so recently awakened and the adventure was so surprising that I could not for some time quite gather my faculties. This, however, gave me time to see the absurdity of the matter. 1 "You're a fool," I blurted out at last, "and so am I. I thought you were shadowing me." "Shadowing you? What for?" "The government." The strained expression on bis face melted into an amused smile. "Who are you?" he asked. "A citizen of Philadelphia." "Philadelphia! So am I." We pulled out cards and exchanged tlieni. "Why, you are the gentleman," said I, "whose daughter recently married Count Kenlzoff of St. Petersburg." "Yes. and I am taking her the fam ily Jewels." "And you mistook me for a robber?" I said. "And you mistook mo for a member of the secret police." Still trembling, he opened a bag, took out a flask and offered it to me. "Thank you." I said, glad enough myself to j;i t a bracer. "Here's to the amateur detective service of America." He smiled grimly, I returned th® flash, and he emptied it. FRANK BARTIIOLOW. A <ol<l In lli«* A hydropathic treatment of n cold In the bead Is more reliable than any other. It is as follows: In the morning after rising and at night before retir ing wash the feet and legs as high up as the knees in cold water, then rub them with a rough towel and massage tlieni till the skin Is red and glowing. In addition to this cautiously snuff t 'pid water up the nose frequently during the day and sip with a tea spoon a glassful as hot as can bo borne an hour before each meal and at bedtime. A few days Is often quite ' sufficient for simple cases and obsti nate ones yield if tlie treatment is pro longed No medicines are required. If taken in the tirst stages of the dis ease a cold is broken up which might otherwise become a severe case of bronchitis, lasting many days or weeks. < 'Klcago News.

Since Ejastenr demonstrated the fact that many human diseases are due to minute living tilings which gr > wand multiply in our bodies then; has been a tendency to call all Microscopic or ganisms, whether harmful or not, "germs' 01 "microbe.'- or "hacteria" lndiserimin tely. This confusion may be cleared by the statement that pro tozoa are the low. -c known forms •>f animals and that b.•■ t• ria are the low est known forms of plants, while "germs" and "microbe-;" ma; apply to the disease causing form.; in • it her group. In our laboratories, under suitable conditions of food and warmth, a ba cillus splits in half an Ii w to two parts, each of which sp'.ds :;i in half an hour, and so on.and it lias been estimated that a singh bacillus. If given similar conditions in nature, would within a week give rise to pro geny numerous enough to till tlie At lantic ocean. Such overbalancing is largely prevented by the protozoa, which feed upon the bacteria, increas ing as they Increase and decreasing as this food supply givi s out. The pro tozoa in turn are eaten by animals like the worms and shellfish, these by oth ers, and so on, the balance of nature being so delicate that no form increases disproportionately for any length of time, although, like the locust plague or the California fruit tree scale or the gypsy moth, some forms may oc casionally predominate.

"Watch my clerks, and you will see tliat invariably customers will put out their right foot when go ing to be lilted. Now watch that cor pulent woman going to Bit down over there."

The babies of all except the richest Japanese are carried about on the back of an older si :ter or brother from the time they sire a few months old. The poorer the parents the sooner the baby Is fastened onto the back of some elder member of the family, and it Is not uncommon in the poorer quarters of a Japanese city to see a group of children six or eight years old playing in the streets, each of whom bears a tinj* babv sister or brother fastened with a few straps to its back. These straps aro just sufficient to prevent the labv from falling to the ground, leaving the comfort of its pos ture entirely to its own exertions. As a result the Japanese baby *arly gains a surprising control of Its muscles, and it is almost impossible to drop even a tiny ohilil from your arms, so firmly does it cling on with both arms nnd legs. The dressing of a Japanese baby is a simple matter. It wears nothing but miniature kimonos, tin? number vary ing with the condition of the weather. These garments are fitted one inside the other before they are put on. Then they are laid down on the floor, and baby is laid : »io them. They are long vnotigh to cover the baby's feet, nnd the sleeves are also long enough to cover the hands. Practically there Is only one garment, and the process,of dressing a Japanese baby takes but two or three minutes of its mother's time.— <'hicago Tribune. Won IIIH Appointment*.
