Frem the Cineinnati Enquirer. ‘Thousands of years before the inventive genius of men discovered the multifold mys- teries of photography and worked out the problem of the lens the little beetle was carrying round with him e@ snap camera of the most unique and interesting character. ‘This camera was provided with at least 10@ photographic lenses, each perfect and in nature's finest working fettle. All know that the beetle has the curious projecting eye very similar to the sort one sometimes sees in man himself. The eye is large and round, or almost so. It can hard- ly ba called a perfect sphere, for it is slightly convex in shape. Such insects have eyes called compound, formed not of one lens, but of several hundreds, set. side by side like cells In a honeyeomb. Dr. Allen of England, the famous scien- tist as well as physician, took the cornea of the eye of a beetle and employed it in place of the usual photographic jens of the camera used for making photographs’ of microscopic objects. A silfiouette of a head was pasted on a piece of ground glass and a lamp placed behind it. “A paeoegyaphic dry plate was exposed to the light ‘coming through the beetle’s eye from the silhou- ette and developed. in the-weual manner. resulting muitigraph was circular and contained several hundred ot the profile—one, Indeed, for each facet of - that in- from the eye.

A dispatch to the New York Herald froin Key West, Fla., says: An illustration of the disadvantages which a ficet at anchor would have when attatked by a torpedo fictilla was shown Tuesday night, when a sham attack was made upon the fleet by five of the torpedo boats here. Seven powerful searchlights played about each ship, and lookouts armed with night giass- es kept vigil from all parts of the vessels, but in spite of this the torpedo boats won a_ signal victory. The Dupont steamed within striking dis- tence of the Iowa before being discovered and the Ericsson and Winslow gained a point of vantage between the Indiana and the Iowa from which they could have destroyed either or both battle ships, though they would probably have been de- stroyed themselves soon after launching their torpedoes. < Warning has been sent out that crafts plying about these ships at night do so at their own risk. All gans of every vessel, including the big guns of the main bat- terles, are loaded at sunset, and any strange craft venturing near does so at her peril, for the ships are taking no risks of being sunk by an eaemy’s torpedo boat at night. A news dispatch boat came in from Ha- vana, her course carrying her within a miie or so of the anchored battle ships. Searchlights and guns were prompt- ly turned upon her, and had the suspect altered her course to head for the ships she would have been fired upon before reaching the zone where a torpedo boat can do its werk. The part of the navy which is assem- bled here is pressing the preparations for war with unabated vigor. Orders to re- move the wooden pilot houses, floating bridges and all woodwork of the vessels not absolutely essential w2re issued, and the work has been begun. The removal of this woodwork reduces danger from flying splinters and the chances of fire breaking out on board during action. The material is to b> sent ashore and stowed in naval storehouses. The recent sailing of Spanish warships from Carthagena, presumably for Cuba, has created considerable feeling among many of the officers, as was the case when the first torpedo flotilla sailed. It is in- sisted that prompt action should be taken to assemble in these waters such a dis- play of naval force as thoroughly to offset Spain's coming fleet. s The cable from Dry Tortugas to Key West has been completed. ———_ --+ee IRON DISSOLVED BY WATER. Interest Experiments to Show m, How Metat May Be Decom| From the Philadelphia Record. Some interesting experiments and re- searches into the ability of water to exer- cise a destructive influence on iron pipe. which have been recently made in Europe, ing a little lime, but an appreciable quan- tity of dissolved carbolic acid, were ob- served to exercise a solvent action on the iron, and the course of the action was traced.
