About thirty venrs ago an intrenions physician of an inquiring turn of mind was struck with tlie idea thnt if eloctricity was good for fecblo people, might it not bo equally good for feeblo plants. A row of evergreens had been put out on his grounds some time before, and it occurred to him that, as there was a couple of his best trees in an exceedingly frail stnto of health, hero was a good chance to test his theory. lie accordingly connected a wire from a battery with tho rootB of one of the trees, turned on a very mild current and watched tho results. In a short time the leaves, which had begun to turn yollow, took on a livoly shade of green, new shoots started out, and tho tree that had been given up by the gardener as past saving was soon the most flourishing ono of tho row, and before loug outstripped its fellows in beauty and luxuriance of growth. Thcso experiments in this direction came to an end by tho doatli of the doctor, and thus much that might have been of groat sorvico to tho gardener and florist remninod undeveloped.

One of the most interesting, and At Jhe same time relatively most abundant, birds in the Zoological Garden* at present is a fowl which is known by the pseudo-classical name of chauua. It is of unwieldy bulk, and has grouty looking legs. But in spite of this, it iH said by that accomplished ornithologist, W. If. Hudson, to soar and sing in a way that rivals the lark. It is also the most truly amphibious of all birds, as has been lately pointod out in the ibis. lis swimming powers are apparently quite on a par with those of the iluck, and it has this advantage over that bird that it is clothed i:i a kind of Boynton costume, which is fur* rushed by innumerable air spaces in the skin.

The Invention of a t'nlted States Naval twicer?Method of Working the Deadly Machine. RECENTLY from Brazil lias come, in tbe sinkirg of tho well-known battleship Aquid ovent tnat promises to shed more -lght upon the powers of the torpedo than all the experiments of tho last two decades. Tho first news concerning the downfall of tho Aquidabau was to the effect that tho vessol was sunk l?y on auto-mobile torpedo, but the naval department has recently been led to tho suspicion that it was not an auto-mobile, but a dirigible torpedo that d'd the effective work. That is to say, a torpedo that is operated and controlled from a base, instead of one which when launched relies upon its own mechanism for its subsequent action. The affair accumulates special interest, not only to Americans but to Bostouiaus, for the only dirigible torpodo in the possession of tho Government forcos of Brazil was tho invention of an olllcer now resident in Boston. Tho officer in question is Lieutenant N. J. L. T. Ilalpin, U. S. N. A few words regarding this remarkable weapon. " Not tho least interesting thiug concerning it is the fact that it is a torpodo but little knowu. It is tho result of many years of study and experiment by its inventor, and is better known outside of this country than it is bore. It has been used by at least three South American nations, although the Brazilians, as far as known, are tho only cues who have subjected it to the conditions of actual war. Unlike other torpedoes, tho Ilalpine weapon is not destroyed after it is 6xploded and its mission is accomplished. Its explosive charge is separate, and after it. is emitted by automatic moaus, the torpedo itself, which is operated by electricity, withdraws and returns to iho operator. Herei.i is a merit that at once appoals to the economist. The explosivo charge, which is in the form of a cartridge, costs but ft'J, aud the torpedo itself being used over and over again, this is tho only expense attending ii'sTTse." Other forms of diri giuio torpouo cost any wnero irorn siu, 000 to $20,000 a shot, as they are tbomselves destroyed theroby. The following is a briof description, not too tecliuical, of the Halpino torpedo, which is iu reality a hybrid, between a torpedo proper aud a torpedo boat. In fact, it may bo regarded in the latter light, as it is but the vossel carrying and discharging the deadly missile. It is cigar-shaped, seventeen feet in length aud two foot in diameter. II contains a storage battery of thirtythreo colls, weighing 300 pounds, and from these is obtained the power which by means of a two horse-power motor, drives the screw propeller, which is brass, one foot iu diameter, and is proteoted by a circular motallic guard. A balance rudder is also attached by wlwch tho torpedo is steered. In the forward end, pointed obliquely downward, ?s the chamber for the charge, which is 125 pounds of any high explosivo, gelatine, dynamite or gnu cotton. The charges furnished tho weapon carriod by the Nictheroy were wet gun cotton. Tho caitridgo is also cigar-shaped, four feet long and ten inches in diameter, aud is inserted by tho mere removal of a hand-hole plato on tho top of the torpedo. At the station occupied by tho operator there is a battery of 160 dry ecus, mm communication is nail witli the torpedo after it is launched by mcaus of tin extremely lino and carefully insulated wiro, which is rolled on a rool inside tho torpodo as the lattor advances. All tho operator has to do is to watch tho torpedo travel through tho water, its progress Vicing observed by means of two tiny masts upon it, and by means of a switchboard ho can causo it to advance or retrehi, auy path lie wishes. He cau also discharge the cartridge, but there is likewise an automatic method of doing this upon impact with tho vessel attacked. The operation of tho torpedo presents some very interesting features, l'rojooting from tho front of tho torpedo is a spar, with an arrow-head, and automatically released arms. When this eonios in contaot with any resisting object, tho cartridge is released mid advances toward the objoet. By nioans of an ingenious system of springs and clutches, tho cartridge upon being roleaso 1, dives down and then ascends, describing a curved path, concavo upward. Thus the torpedo uots with which most of the battleships are provided, would not avail, as the spar would meet the net while the cartridgo would dive down beneath it and then proceed direct to the vessel's hull.

It is not injured or destroyed in operating; it can ho operated from a moving base, such as a boat, as the operator's plant is so simple ami light; its motive power does not suffer by being store I or delayed, and it is not of such a nature as to he in itself a source of danger to those handling it; it can he loaded with the facility of a broochloading ritle; should it be captured, the operator can make it destroy itself by exploding tho charge within it The Aiihimiii.otticers of the Nictherov, who returned to tins nountrv about n week ago, Rpeak in high term'* of this torpedo, mi l they incline to the belief that its many advantages offset its lack of simplicity.

A Giant Specimen That Carried Children on Its Broad Back, and Lived SOO Years. IF you want to be old, observe and imitate the tortoise. That reptile apparently knows how to live as long as it likos. It is rather hard on man, who is constantly being told that ho is the highest of tho animals, that he should be so inferior to the tcstudinal family in this important respect. It is impossible to Bay how long a tortoise, under favorable conditions, may live.

In the Zoological Garden nt Philadelphia there is a snapping turtle from the Mississippi whose ago is calculated at flOO years. He is moss-grown, but halo and hearty, and his jaws are sp vigorous as an alligator's. A small tortoise that had lived at the time of Charles I. 's Archbishop Hand was lulled by a cart in tlio grounds of Lambeth Palace a few yeate ago. Ho was doing his best to get out of the way, but a tortoise, though sure, is no match for a horse. There arc now many famous old tortoises and turtles in the world. One of thorn has just died at Colombo the capital of Ceylou, ouo of the stopping places on the route from Australia to England. Tho tortoise was of the species tcstudo elephantopis. He passed the greater part of his life at "Uplands," a resort on the coast near Colombo, where ho was visited by thousands of passengers annually. His ago was estimated at 200 years, and he measured six feet from snout to tail, the shell alone being four feet six inches in length. The species to which lie bcl??h\;ed originates in the Seychelles and Mauritius Islands. lint from early times they were found convenient to carry on ships as a reserve supply of live fresh meat. Now they aro almost extinct. They were preserved from total extinction by Sir Arthur Gordon, who as Governor of Mauritius, ordered that two specimens should bo sent to him annually by the natives as tribute. The Colombo tortoise was sent from Java to the Governor of Ceylon, which wRi then a Dutch colony. When the Uritish annexed the island in 17'.)o the torto'se was transferred to their care. Like most tortoises he was of a placid and peaceable disposition, but soeius to have been by no means averse to human society. From time to time he carried children on his broad back, a task which he performed with apparent cheerfulness. On one occasion, however, he successfully resisted tho efforts of .neveu men to remove him from the garden where he resided to the grounds of sn exhibition. F.seentlv the local government acquired "Uplands," where tho tortoise lived, as a graving dock. He was removed to Victoria Park, about a mils inland, where he sickened and died in a short time.

The Sioux Dinner Pot. "There is a verv peculiar custom among the Sioux Indiana," said Emailucl French, of liismarck, N. 1). "The Indians take kindly to European cookin.t; utensils and aids to comfort, and it ir. quite common for an exploring or picnic party to trade oft' kettles, frying pans and the like for skins or curiosities. A cooking utensil thus acquired becomes practically the common property of the tribe, on the general understanding, however, that whoever borrows it shall pay for its use by leaving in it. a portion of the food Cooked. As the Indians seldom waste any time in washing or cleaning eating or cookiug vessels, this practice has some conveniences from a red man's point of view, and often a saucepan is returned with quite a large quantity of meat or potatoes clinging to the bottom, and perhaps covering up some of the remains of a preceding and entirely different proparat ion. "It is not long sinco that an explor ing pnrtv i was out, will) lost its kettle, which had evidently jolted out of the wagon on the had road. After considerable hesitation, one was borrowed from a friendly squaw, and, after the water had been boiled in it three or four times, and it had been well scoured out with sand, it answered its purpose admirably. When we were through with the kettle, we thoroughly cleaned it again and returned it, and it was not until an Indian guide explained the custom that we understood the look of supreme contempt which came over the red lady's bice when, on looking into the inside of the kettle, she saw that it contained no relic whatever of our evening feast."?St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

The Eiffel Tower, lmilt wholly ol tetal, is nil example, and a good exmple, of a step in tho direction i-liich architects will be driven to fol-' ?w in tho future. Tho great railway tntions, exhibition buildings and thcr structures of steel, concrete, apcr and glass, which the needs and nventions of our day havo called ino existence, show which way flows tho tream of tendency. The new buildng material has come to stay. In an?iher century houses may not merely >c built with steel girders; they may >c made of metal frames bolted together, and gripping walls of papier nache. Then the age of tho tent will eturn. A man will buy his house roiu a manufacturer and will liiro a lito to set it. upon. When he moves rom one place to another he will take lis home with him. Building leases vill die a natural death. Towns will vander about, and a great mauy on rims results will arise. ? St. Louis Starieyiugs.
