ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
Now on Their Simmer Trip In Foreign
Waters.
One of the moat pleasant things
about being an Annapolis cadet Is the
chance they have of going on summer
cruises. The second class men are now
aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel,
euch as was used by our navy before
we had steam warships. These young
men are required to do the work of
common sailors; In fact, they do every
thing there Is to be done on the boat.
They started in June, and will return
In September. They stop for a week
or so at Plymouth, England, and ar
rangements have been made for them
to spend a few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how Spain's neigh
bors will receive them. After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again.
Of course there is a good deal of fun
to be got out of the trip, and a great
deal to see; but it is a part of their
four years' course at the naval acad
emy, and they have to work hard
scrubbing decks and taking in sails,
and the slightest disobedience is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped oft Hampton Roads for a
few days and went through a lot of
drilling, including the "deserting of the
ship." In this drill the crew puts pro
visions in the small boats, launch them
and row away toward land, just a3 they
would have to do if the ship took lire
or were in a sinking condition.
An Unhappy Name.
I remember hearing the following
•tory from the late Canon Bardsley,
author of "English Names and Bur
names." There was once a woman —
"a little 'crackey,' I think," said the
canon, byway of parenthesis—who had
a son whom she had christened
"What." Her idea seems to have been
that when in after days he was asked
his name, and kept saying "What,"
amusing scenes would follow, which
was likely enough, especially if the
loy was careful to pronounce the as
pirate. Such a scene did, I believe,
occur once wfcen he went to school,
and was told, as a newcomer, to stand
up and furnish certain particulars.
"What is your name?" asked the
teacher. "What," blurted out the boy,
amid the laughter of the class. "What
is your name?" asked the master
again, with more emphasis. "What,"
replied the boy. "Your name, sir!"
roared back the Infuriated pedagogue.
"What, What!" roared back the terri
fied urchin. The sequel I forget, but
I believe it one of those cases in which
the follies of the parents are visited on
the children of the first generation.—

SOMETHING NEW IN STEEL.
Alleged Discovery That Is Kxpected to
Revolutionize a (.rent Indu*trj\
Just as Americans begin to feel thai
they are upon the verge of developing
superiority to Great Britain, not only
in shipbuilding, but in the steel trude,
in which such a number of valuable
foreign coutracts have lately been
taken by our manufacturers iu tho
face of British competition; and just
as nature seems to encourage the
American aspiration by showing that
the English coal mines will lie ex
hausted withiu another fifty years,
science seems to be coining to the aid
of the Britisher, and may be about to
open new fields of competition in
steel in which America must take pait
if she is to maintain her hard-earned
prestige.
The discovery has been demon
stra'ed in London, and is beiug made
much of by the English press, that the
! ability to produce perfect si eel by
casting it in a vacuum made by liquid
hydrogen with a process that it is not
proposed to make public, has at last
attained practicability. A company
has been formed with a capital of
! thirty thousand pounds to experimen
tally develop the process and if the
plan is as successful as Professor De
war, the discoverer, presumes it will
be, the air bubbles that now cause
| flaws and weakness in steel will be
I done awav with and a metal will re
: suit such as the world has never seen.
1 To say that this means a possible
! revolution in the steel trade is to put
it mildly, and if the English govern-
I ment can control the process, as it is
I now intimated may be the case, then
; Americuu scientists and those of other
; countries will be put upon their met
| tie to get even with tho Britishers.
| Liquid hydrogen, which is the
great agent now discovered, is de
l scribed as a clear, colorle.-s, trans
parent and ve v volatile fluid, no
clearer than pure water, but only oue
fourteenth the density of water. Iu
its lightness it is out of all proportion
to any known liquid. A piece of paper
when placed in it sinks. The differ
ence between liquid hydrogen aud
liquid air is as great if not greater
than the difference between the ordin
ary temperature and liquid air. Liquid
hydrogen places temperature at with
in twenty degrees of absolute zero,
which is represented by 491 degrees
Fahrenheit and 273 degrees C'eutigrade
below zero. The boiling point of
liquid hydrogen is 252 degrees below
zero, at which it is capable of euor
mous pressure.
I The discovery must affect every
problem of physics and chemistry.
Its possibilities are illimitable. It
may revolutionize the methods that
have been laboriously built up during
the last three hundred years.
Whose Umbrella?
Sometimes an umbrella seems to
arouse suspicion, even wlieu it is in
honest hands. Thus a London paper
tells a painful tale of a young man iu
a street-car, who carried an umbrella
which had been his birthday gift.
On the seat faoing him was a lady
with a precocions boy,evidently about
five years old. The youngster regard
ed the young man with attention for n
few moments, aud then his eyes wan
dered to the umbrella. He gazed at
it in silence for a second, then he
wriggled in his sent, clapped his hands
and shouted:
"O mamma, don't that look like
papa's umbrella?"
"Hush, hush, my child," said the
mother.
"Papa was looking for his umbrolln
this evening, mamma," continued the
boy.
"Yes, yes, but he found it," said
thp mother, hurriedly, as the conver
sation was becoming of interest to
other paßsengei-B.
"Why, mamma," continued the
youngster, "you know ho didn't.
You told him that he didu't know
enough to keep an umbrella. Why,
mamma-r—"
At this skage the young man left the
oar.
HE LOST HIS PENCILS.
But the Reporter Wrote His Story with
nn Electric Light Bulb.
•'Did I ever tell you about the time
that I wrote a story with au incau
descent light bulb?" said the police
reporter to a few of his professional
frieuds.
"No? Well, it's a fact, just the
same, aud all I had to write with was
one of these glass globes."
The hearers moved uneasily and one
was heard to sav something about
taking another draw. The police re
porter was undaunted, however, and
went ou:
"This is no pipe dream. I was
working on the Brooklyn Eagle aud
had been sent down to a small inter
ior town on one of the 'hottest' stories
you ever heard about—double murder
with a good mystery end —dead peo
ple both prominent, aud suspected
murderer a prominent citizen.
"I pulled into the station at exactly
11 o'clock aud of course went into the
station, the only telegraph office iu
tho towu, to tell the operator that I'd
have some 'stuff' to tile uot later than
1 o'clock iu the morning. He was an
agreeable fellow,and he said he would
go home and get two hours' sleep aud
be back in time to haudle my story.
I jumped in the town aud in au hour
was back to the telegraph office, which
the operator had left open for me.
"I peeled off my coat and vest and
sat down to write the crime story of
my life. My hand sought my upper
vest pocket, where I carried mv pen
cils, and, jumping Jupiter! I had lost
every one of them. I remembered
that I bad them a little while before
when taking sortie notes, but they
were gone now.
"I then began to gaze around the
office. The operator had plenty, of
ink, but nary u pen or pencil could I
find. I was # in a beautiful hole.
Within an hour of filing time and not
a thing to write with. I just thought
and thought, aud iu doing so liap
pened to look again at tho operator's
desk. There lay a pad of thin paper
aud between the first and second
sheets was a piece of carbon paper.
The way out of my difficulty cuine to
me like a flash.
"In the little office were three in
candescent lamps. I turned the key
and put out oue, unscrewed it, and in
another moment had the pad of paper
with its carbon sheet iu front of me.
At the big eud of the bulb was a pro
truding point of glass. I took the
globe in my baud, holding it like a
stylus, and marked ou the top sheet:
'The Eagle, Brooklyn, N. Y.' Imag
ine my joy when I lifted the upper
carbon paper to And that it had taken
the impression perfectly. Then I went
to work and at 1 o'clock when the op
erator arrived, had a starter for him of
a thousand words."
"Did you finish the story that
way?" was asked.
"Yes. The operator offered mo
writing material, but the noveby of
the thing had takeu hold of me. 8o

Tactful Mongfinger Boy.
"Ouo of the bountiful traits in the
makeup of Washington messenger
boys," saiil a railroad mau who lives
in Washington, "is their tactfuluess.
I think otherwise. They are chock
full and loaded down with tact —with
the copper on. To illustrate:
"My wife went over to New York
city a few weeks ago to attend the
bedside of a seriously ill relative, who
was not expected to live. This morn
ing I was sitting in my office, wonder
ing why I didn't get a letter from her
by the first mail when a tousle-headed
messenger boy joggled open the
door.
" 'Where'll I find de office o' Mr.
name.
" 'Right here, son,' said I. 'You're
talking to him.'
" 'Well,' said the kid, measuring
me up with the probable expectation
that I'd do a stage back fall, 'l've
got a death message fer you, an' they
tole me at th' office that it wus im
portant.'
"Nice, mild, tactful way of putting
it, wasn't it? He just left it up to me
to wonder, while I was ripping the en
velope open, whether tho message
announced the death of our aged rela
tive or the decease of my wife. It
happened to be the former, but Lam
inclined to believe that that boy
would have been just a bit i otter
pleased had it been the latter."

llixv They Catch Scorcher, in I.nnilnii.
A great many communications have
recently beon sent to the London
papers saying t at the Kingston police
always catch the wrong person when
they attempt to stop the wheelmen
from furious riding. The policemen
have contradicted those accusations.
There seems to be a mistake some
where. Possibly the true explanation
may be found in what is said to be a
"true American story" printed in the
London Mail. This story, snys Tho
Mail, has a great hearing on the case
at hand. There is a certain time when
the vision of the officer loses the real
offender and he never gets him within
the range of his eyes again. Here is
the story, which is said to explain
matters: "A gentleman was leaning
out of a railway carriage window to
kiss his wife, who was on the platform
bidding him good-hv. The train, how
ever, moved on witli that celerity for
which American trains are famous iu
anecdote; so fast, indeed, that the
chase salute was bestowed on a por
ter at the next station. The sugges
tion is that, as the cyclists travel so
fast in Kingston, the police do not
catch tho scoroher, but the slow rider
who is coming up just behind him."
BREEZY KANSAS YARNS.
How Ka.teru Correspondents Add to the
Unique Fame of a Grent State.
Mr. Coburn, the agricultural com
missioner of Kansas, charges all the
notoriety that Kausas has suffered
from during the last quarter of a cen
tury to eastern newspaper correspon
dents, who, he says, have visited that
state, and have tried to interest their
readers by inventing freaks and fabul
ous stories.
"It has been left to the correspon
dents of eastern papers to portray
Kansas to the world in all the various
shades and tints," says Mr. Coburn,
"from those of gloomiest midnight
and deepest woe to brightest noonday
and heaven's gilding. His finest
work, that which has always stamped
him as possessing the true artistio
temperament, has been his treatment
of weather conditions, especially our
impulsive zephyrs and periods of pro
crastinated rainfall. The lines of
thought always discernible in his work
aro that we are in a chronic condition
of cyclone, drought or blizzard, varie
gated by invasions and devastations of
chinchbugs and grasshoppers. In
dealing with the former he describes
the wind which he says blew a cow up
ngaiust the side of a barn and held
her there for 12 days, or until she
starved to death. The same wind, says
this veracious chronicler, blew tho
cracks out of the fences, sucked a
cistern from the ground, moved the
township line and changed the day
of the week, while it yanked the bung
hole out of a barrel and buried it in a
sandhill 80 miles away.
"On another occasion, when stopping
at a farmhouse, a cyclone came up and
he, with the family, went into the cel
lar. The house was soon blown away;
presently the cellar went, too, rolling
over and over like a silk hat. He was
early spiled out, but with infinite
labor dragged himaelf back in the
teeth of the wind, intending to take
refuge in the hole the cellar came out
of, but to bis great consternation he
found that the hole had been blown
away also. Shortly after this, a far
mer was riding along the road with a
jug of sorghum tied with a strap to
his saddle-horn. A cyclone came up,
aud after it had passed the jug handle
was found inside ttiejng and the strap
was sticking out of the jug's month,
the jug having been blown inside out
without spilling a drop of the molasses.
During the same blow a goat happened
to get ill its path, and his hair was
blown off until be looked ns olean as
a skinned banana. This made the
goat look so much like n Mexican dog
with horns that it was placed on ex
hibition at the World's fair, attracting
attention as one of the great curiosi
ties of the century.
"The eastern correspondent is equally
at ease in dealing with the intervals
occurring between showers, which the
fertility of his imagination and the ex
treme elasticity of his conscience per
mit him to describe as 'droughts.'
Whatever portion of his vocabulary
lias not alrendy been exhausted in de
scribing the 'cyclone' is at ouce avail
able for writing up the 'drought.'
Through him a wondering world
learns of the alleged Kansas ferry
man who was to haul water ten
mouths in the year in order to keep
his boat l-nnning; of the families who
each morning are compelled to run
their wells through clotheswringers
that they may obtain water for cook
ing purposes; of neighborhoods where
it is so dry that water is wet only on
one side, aud where fish,to nllaythirst
and rince the dnst from their throats,
swarm out on the prairies aud lap the
boiling dew from the buffalo grass.
He it is who says this distressing
scarcity of moisture is forced upon ns
by the corporations that have cornered
the water supply to put into their
stocks, and to such an extent that far
mers have to soak their hogs over
night in order to make them hold
swill.
"Another remarkable story is told
of a man who was driving over the
divide north of Dodge City, when a
shower came up. He was riding a
buckboard, which has a bottom made
by fastening cleats between the axles
with spaces o- half an inch between
the cleats. The water fell so fast that
it could not run through the bottom
of the buckboard as fast as it fell.
Rushing down the side of the divide
the water struck a barbed wi e fence
and dammed up until the water ran
over the top wire of the fence. This
was because the rain came so fast that
it couldn't get through between the
wires of the fence. On the same trip
the traveler says he saw a jack rabbit
drown while it was jumping through
the air."
Left His Daughter In the Well.
George Smith of Blaine, Me., while
drawing water for his cows, lost a tin
pail in the well. He had let his eldest
daughter, a girl of 17, into the well by
a line to recover the pail, when he
saw that his cattle had entered a field
of potatoes that had been newly
poisoned. In his desire to save his
cows from death he forgot all about
his daughter. When he came back
half an hour later she had wept her
self into convulsions and was making
a desperate effort to cling to tho
stones in the well to escape drowning.
Smith has promised her an 385 organ
if she will stop talking about the
event—New York Sun.
A Mouse's Uncomfortable Situation.

BOGUS ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.
The Alleged Trees are a Were "Faked" Ln
Central Asia.
Orientalists will do well to bo on
their guard ln connection with Central
Asian manuscripts, which have of lato
provided them with such an endless
subject ot discussion, says the Scots
man. It was Capt. Bower who first
discovered the existence of some ex
tremely ancient manuscripts during
his great Journey across central Asia,
and Dr. Sven Hedin brought back a
rich collection tor the edification and
mystification of orientalists. Since
then the supply of ancient manuscripts
has been very great, but it is stated
that the gravest suspicion is now cast
upon the authenticity of a very large
proportion of these so-called relics of
antiquity.
An English officer who is now en
gaged ln some exploring work in Cen
tral Asia has discovered that there
exists in Khotan a regular manufac
tory of the manuscript relics, and so
large is the output that he believes
that at least 95 per cent of the manu
scripts which have reached Europe
from central Asia during recent years
are spurious. The process of manu
facture has been explained to him, and
so impressed is he with the difficulty
of distinguishing between the genuine
and the counterfeit that he has him
self adopted a rule of never under any
circumstances buying any ancient book
offered to him for sale. Meanwhile
there 1b much searching of hearts
among the owners of the manuscripts
which have already found their way
Into European collections.

ABOUT BERNHARDT.
Mme. Bernhardt gives the following
account of her admission into the Con
servatoire: "Auber was present, and
asked me: 'Your name is Sarah?' 'Yea,
sir.' 'You are a Jewess?' 'By birth,
•ir, but I have been baptized.'" Sarah
then recited two verses of "Les Deux
Pigeons," and was interrupted. "That
will do; you are admitted." Then came
the business of selecting the right
class. Beauvallet declaredrfor tragedy,
Regnier for comedy, Provost for both,
and Sarah selected both, and thus de
voted herself simultaneously to the
culture of the two muses, Melpomene
and Thalia.
It seems that at first the future
queen of the stage did not care for it
in the least Above all she hated her
daily Journeys to and fro in the omni
bus, "and to this day I detest promis
cuous assemblies and miscellaneous
crowds." Mme. Bernhadt next assures
us that she was never able to win a
first prize at the Conservatoire, only a
second, and that but once, and for trag
edy. After a year's study at the Con
servatoire, Mme. Bernhardt passed into
the company of the Theater Francais, '
and made her debut In Racine's "Iphl- !
genie." She writes: "My arms were
so long and so thin that when in the
scene of the sacrifice I uplifted them
before the altar the house burst into
a roar of laughter and I was mortified
to tears. I next played Valerie in
Scribe's play of that name, with Co
quelin as Ambroise, and I was success- I
ful. But even then I could not over
come my innate dislike for the stage.
I never put foot Inside the theater ex
cept for rehearsals and performances."
In 1879, as all the world will remem
ber, Sarah Bernhadt went to London
for the first time, appearing in "Phe
dre." She at once established her po
sition in that country and was not only
a success on the stage, but the "lion
ess" in chief of the London season,
every fashionable hostess seeking the
privilege of her acquaintance, and no
party was considered complete with
out her presence.
