The Methods of Storing in Vogue in + the British Navy. From Inventi The British navy has not been without its Maine disasters, though, fortunately, these have been unattended by any questions of foul play—and they have taught us a les- son. The last such catastrophe was in 1882, when the gunboat Dotterel was sunk and 145 lives lost through an explosion in one of her magazines. Since that time great attention has been paid: to the storing of high explosives on board all the ships of our navy. The maga- zines are now huge iroz tanks built sepa- rately into the ship. The sides, bottom and crown of these are made of thick steel plates weighing ten pounds to the square foot. These plates are lap-jointed and strongly riveted. Should any side of the back of a coal bunker be exploded, that side is built of plates that weigh twelve and a half pounds to the square foot. This additional strength is In order to prevent any explosion of coal gas that may occur in the bunker from tearing open the magazine. Further, the plating is stiffened with heavy bars’ that make all parts of the surface of equal strength. Should the magazine be placed near the engines, or in any other place where there is a’ high temperature, it is coated with asbestos. Electricity is used for lighting purposes. All the lights are in what are called “light boxes,” placed outside, the light penetrating into the magazine itself through thick glass illuminators, which are protected by gratings of brass wire. The keys of these boxes are kept by the gunner of the ship. Near them is a stock of can- dies ready for use in case the electric cur- rent should fail. Entrance to the magazine is from the top. but out of what is termed the handling room. The hatch of this is in line with the crown of the magazine, and the floor of the room is lead-covered. For ventilating purposes, air is pumped in at the bottom, and passes out through a specially constructed up-take; but on very dry days air is let into the magazine nat- urally, in order to prevent too much mois- ture accumulating on the cases, and thus causing the powder to deteriorate. In an engagement the magazines would be kept closed down, 60 as to prevent the enemy's shot from entering-them, and air would be pumped in, or the men working inside could live but a very few minutes. Before entering the magazine the men have to leave behind them-their knives, pipes and matches, and to put on special boots that are studded with brass nails. With the old-fashioned powder a spark caused by the-friction of a nail in one’s beot with the floor’ was sufficient to cause an explosion. Nowadays there is far less danger of accident. Many of the explo- sives now used will only ignite by detona- tion. Prismatic and pebble powders if set on fire will frigzle away like a fuse, while cordite, if handled? with ordinary care, is quite harmless, All the bays, that 4s, recesses, are marked with the number af cases that are to be stowed in them, and they are provided with strong wooden uprights to prevent the cases from being thrown out of place by the motion of the ‘ship. The doors of all the magazines open outward, so that if in a violent storm the.cases broke loose they would not block the entrance. No fuses, tubes or other articles that contain their own means of ignition are ever stowed in magazines. Ail such articies are placed in special store rooms far away from the powder. Quick-firing ammunition car- tridges for machine guns and rifles and dry gun cotton also have their separate com- partments. All magazines are fitted with a flooding arrangement, so that, should the ship catch fire, they can be at once filled with water. No one but a responsible offi- cer is ever allowed to handle the ke: and he must first obtain permission from the captain. The heaviest charges are placed arest the doors. In the old days the pow- r monkey used to carry the cartridge: from the magazine to the guns In a case. Now the ammunition goes up a hydraulic lift that works on armored shoots Carry- ing It would be an Impossibility, as some of the charges weigh 960 pounds. ‘Tanks con- taining fresh water and drinking cups are fixed in the handling room for the use of the men, and all the floors are sprinkled with water before work begins. Speaking tubes lead from outside the magazines (which, by the way, are usually below the water line) to the gun decks, the bridge and the conning tower. There is a quarterly examination of the dry gun cotton to ascertain whether acid is accumulating. If it is, the explosive is at once saturated with water. Wet gun cot- ton, being a very safe material, is kept in aa ordinary store room, and is weighed periodically to detect deterioration, a plug being at the same time removed in order that gas may escape. The “warheads” of the Whitehead torpedoes, being filled with wet gun cotton, are stowed by themselves and tested in the manner just described. But the “pistols,” which contain dry gun cotton, and the detonators for igniting the wet gun cotton in the torpedoes are placed together in a compartment that can be flooded if necescary. The only other dangerous explosives car- ried by our warships are the filled shells, which are given a place to themselves. None but the most stubborn fuses are fit- ted to these, unless they are at the gun and ready to be fired. Their dangerous nature is indigated by their red-painted heads and the broad red band around them. Seamen are trained to handle them with the utmost care. Even signal lights and rockets are kept carefully out of the way of irrepon- sible persons. In fact, every possible pre- caution is taken to prevent an accident with explosives occurring on any of our warships. A Colony of Chimney Swallows. From the Philadelphia Record. Workmen engaged in repairs upon one of the buildings of the house of correction early last week discovered a curious con- gregation of chimmey swallows in a chim- ney stack near by: The chimney towers sixty feet from the ground, and is five feet square in the clear inside, and serves as a ventilator toothe cells throughout the whole building. . While the workmen were putting up the%scaffold near by, they no- ticed thousands of? chimney swallows cir- cling in the air above, and from time to time darting d6wnvfnd out the wide open- ing at the top’ When they had finished the scaffold and Yooked down into the chimney, a sight Met their eyes perhaps never before seen‘in this section of the country. Froma point about ten feet be- low the top of the thimney, and extending from that fully twenty feet further down, all four sides of the chimney were lined with thousands! of these birds, as many as three and four deep, clinging to the bricks in solid mass Those next the wall were supporting those on top of them, while yet other thousands of the birds, making the sky black, were circling around above the chimney and from time to time dart- ing down into it, while those from within were fluttering their way out into the open air. The birds took no notice whatever of the peering heads of the workmen looking down upon them. One may judge of the number of the birds there when it is con- sidered that they covered at least four hundred square feet of surface on the in- side of the chimney and were from three. to four deep. General Merrick, superin- tendent; “Dr. Pennybaker, the visiting physician, and scores of others attached to the institution availed themselves of the opportunity to view this strange orni- thological curiosity. The birds, it appears, have — congrégating daily for a long time in this particular > presum- ably to enjoy the warmth of it. -AMUSEMENTS. The cool weather this week has had the ‘effect of mducing people to go to the the- ater, and as a result the excellent perform- ance of “The Mighty Dollar,” at the Co- lumbia, has been witnessed by large audi- ences every night. In this comedy Mrs. Findlay has given those who remember Mrs Florence in thé part of Mrs. Gilfiory great enjoyment, for her impersonation is in some respects superior to the original. Next week “Esmeralda” should prove fully as seihape tas for it gives good opportun- ities for the cast, though on different lines. The Parry Opera Company at Glen Echo has given enjoyable performances of “The Mascot,” and the fact that large numbers have attended even when wraps wer: com- fortable is a tribute to the good work of the company. Next week Auber’s tuneful and romantic opera, “Fra Diavolo,” will be the attraction, James Barrows and John Lancaster of the Columbia company room together and among their other possessions they have an ice chest. Now this chest is a never-failing scurce of delight and comfort to these two genial souls, for in its frigid depths repose bottles of different kinds, which contain many of the things which make life worth living. After the performanc> the two hie them hence to their beloved chest, and it is said that if Barrows were ever to tire of acting he might get a position behind the Hoffman House bar, for his 2fforts in the liquid l:ne would make the gods forget any- thing so tame as nectar. Mr. Lancaster is paying the price of popu- larity. His mail is so full of requests from the fair admirers for his photograph that were he to comply with them all the pho- tographers of this city would do a rushing business and he would spend the most of kis time before th for one of his cares is an adept in that line she might reciprocate by reading his fat2 for him. However, none but those with experience need apply. — “Stock companies “may come and stock companies may go, but I go on for ever,” sang Rock creek one day last week, as it wended its way by the Zoo. Now why should the poor old cr2ek be singing of stock companies? Thereby hangs a tale. Four members of the Columbia company, who shall be nameless, went wheeling to the Zoo. Having enjoyed the sights of that place they turned their front wheels in the direction of home; but two of the party were destined for further delights. Pedal- ing along, they.came upon Rock creek, and it looked £0 cool and inviting that the two in question decided that it was not beneath their dignity to go in wading. No sooner sald than done, and off came shoes and Stockings and in they went. While they were splashing around, the more sedate members of the party sat upon the bank, and they must have discussed shop, for where else could the creek receive ideas of stock companies. Mr. Chas. B. Hanford is now in the city, but he has made no definite arrangements for next season. Several propositions have been made to him to join with other actors as he did with the late Mr. Keene, but none have been exactly to his desire. His ex- perience and standing as an actor and his possession of that business capacity which is so rare in an actor gives him a com- manding position that should enable him to occupy a good field next fall. “I put in a great deal of hard work with Mr. Keene,” he said the other day, “not simply from a professional standpoint in playing opposite characters to him, but in a managerial sense, and I saw the good results each sea- son. He had a better company, it was bet- ter handled, his pieces were better staged and he made more money than he had done in five years before I became associated with him. This was Mr. Keene’s own tes- timony, and the managers of houses in which we played spoke voluntarily of the improved surroundings of Mr. Keene and of his increased business. We had fully arranged for next season, when we were to go to the Pacific coast, and Mr. Keene's sudden death has considerably upset all my plans.” There is a possibility that Mr. Hanford and Joe Haworth may form a union, and if this should take place both gentlemen and the public would be benefited. Mr. Ha- worth would have an opportunity of being seen in legitimate work, for which he is especially adapted, and he would have the support of Mr. Hanford both on the stage and in the management of the company. Frank Deshon, the cut-short comedian of the Parry Opera Company, is about the size of the average bootblack or bell boy, which fact lends ccrroborative detail to the following story told by him the other even- ing. “It was in St. Louis some seasons ago, when I was playing at Ubrig’s Cave and stopping at a near-by hotel. I was chums with the clerk, and used to stop at the desk every day to chat with him. One morning he was busy registering a lot of new a rivals, so I sat down near the desk in one of the seats usually ocupied by the bell boys. I had left my hat in my room and was just roosting there with a far-away look in my eyes, like the regulation Grime- sey, me boy, when suddenly a valise was thrust into my hands and a voice said, “Here, boy—take this up to my room.” “[T was puzzled for an instant, but when he poked a door key at me I saw the joke. I leoked at the tag on the key, and finding that it was to a room near mine, responded, ‘All right, sir.’ The clerk looked aston- ished for a minute, but I Upped him the wink and led the way upstairs. Arrived at the room, I was ordered to bring up a pitcher of ice water, and I must have re- sponded with unaccustomed promptness, for when I arrived with it he tipped me a quarter. “Well, the clerk and I spent that quarter to the best advantage and had a good laugh. The next morning my guest came down and demanded to know where that little bell boy of the day before was. “Why, that was no bell boy,’ said the clerk; ‘that was the comedian of the Cave Opera Company.” ‘Now, that fellow was the western agent for a champagne firm, and I tell you, as long as he remained in St. Louis I scorned the humble and plebian beverage which has hops for its basis and assuaged my thirst on the choicest vintage of France.” very other girl one meets wears the. mucrss Buttons, crossed rifles, belt buckles and even shoulder straps indicative of her allegiance to some one of Uncle Sam's brave soldier boys, Miss Allene Crater has the proud distinction of being the adopted daughter of a whole regiment. It came about last Monday night, after a detachment of the 1st New Jersey had sur- rounded Glen Echo and successfully kept at a distance the nictous e0)nl ery wee had n raising Cain with the roa OuneS UD the river, andl having imbibed much beer and become imbued with the spirit of con- quest were about to descend upon the Glen with the probable intention of carrying off the chorus girls of the Parry Opera Com- pany and raising the roof clean off the big amphitheater. Luckily Managers Allen é& Towers discovered the trend of affairs and set about manning the fortifications of the Glen. All the watchmen and employes about the place were mobilized to guard the gates, while E. H. Allen hastened to the camp of the New Jersey regiment for reinforcements. Luckily he knew Lieut. Stewart, who at once introduced him to Col. Brintner, to whom he unfolded the situation. The colonel accordingly sent Capt. Runyon and Lieut. Stewart with a detachment of thirty men, who kept strict guerd over the theater until after the per- formance. Meanwhile the colonel and his staff, including Surgeon Allers, came up to witness “The Mascot” and remained after the performance to meet some of the artists. By way of testifying to their gratitude for their timely rescue, the man- agement gave a little supper to the officers and saw that the men were duly provided with something better than camp fare. It was at this cozy little feast, in the com- pany’s dining room at the cafe, that Miss Crater was nominated as the “mascot” of the Ist New Jersey, and she was subse- quently elected by unanimous vote of the regiment. COLUMBIA THEATER. -- “Esmeralda,” the delightful idyllic drama which William Gillette adapted from Frances Hodgson Burneit’s charming story of the same name, will be next week's offering of the Columbia stock company, and the cast an- nounced is such as to create pleasant an- ticipations of the revival. In selecting Miss Eleanora Browning for the title role the Columbia management seems to have chosen wisely. Miss Browning's pleasing personality will just suit the character of the gentle North Carolina mountain girl, whose love for rough but honest Dave Hardy remains the same in spite of wealth, titled suitors and the life of gay Paris. Edwcird Mackay will be the honest moun- taineer, walle as Mrs. Lydia Ann Rogers,the ambitious mother of Esmeralda, and “old ian” Rogers, her pathetically meek hus- ; Lee magazine rifle, aq band, Mrs. Findlay and James Tow! will again have roles just to thetr Uking. Wiltam Ingersoll will play the part of the easy-going man of leisure, a line in which he is unsurpassed by any young comedian now on the stage, while Maud Haslam will have the lively high comedy part of Nora Desmond, who finally wins him from his ‘kindly cynicism into a real participation in romance and matrimony. John Lancaster will be Jack Desmond, the American artist in Paris, while Miss Daisy Hammack, formerly of the Linthicum Students, but now established on the professional stage, will play the part of his unger sister, Kate. Alex. Kearney will carry the strong char- acter part of “Marquis” de Montessin, the French adventurer, who pursues Esmeralda for her reputed fortune, but deserts her when he finds that the bonanza which has | converted her from a simpie little mountain girl into a heiress really belongs to her first love, Dave Hardy. J. A. Bass will im- personate the American speculator who first locates the coal fields for the Rogers family, and Marie G. West will have an- other maid servant part. The scenes of the play are laid in North Carolina and Paris, which will give ample opportunity for contrasting the simple but honest life of the Great Smokies with the gay, disso- lute round of the French capital, ‘and in both scenic effects and costuming the man- agement has taken ample care that every thing shall be complete and correct in de- tail. “Esmeralda” is remembered as one of the most delightful dramas of its class, and as this class is one particularly suited to the tastes of Washington theater-goers, it is safe to predict that the record for big attendance now being established by “The sey Dollar” will be endangered next wee! GLEN ECHO.—Notwithstanding the cool weather, which it was thought would be discouraging to suburban cheatergvers, Glen Echo continues to attract large crowds nightly, which is in {itself sufficient proof of the merits of the performances put up by the Parry Opera Company. Tonight will witness the last representation of “The Mascot,” and after the usual popular Sun- day afternoon and evening concerts the company will abandon opera bouffe for the romantic music-drama. “Fra Diavolo” has always ben a bone of contention for mu- sical critics. While the spoken dialoguc naturally consigns it to the realm of opera comique, Its intense dramatic quality makes it rise at times to almost the dignity of grand opera. Yet there is combined with the romantic story @ most delightful vein of comedy, both high and low, while the disrobing scene of Zerlina and the death of Fra Diavole are two sensational incidents not easily to be forgotten. Charles Hawley will play the title role, and his high bari- tone voice and manly presence should make him an almost ideal robber chief. Alleen Crater will be the Zerlina, and she should fill the physical if not the vocal require- ments of the role. Herry Carter and Viola D'Armon will appear as that delightful comedy couple, Lord and Lady Allcash, while the low-comedy brigands will be played by Frank Deshon and Tom Springer. The former, as Beppo, will also have an opportunity for the display of that dramatic ability of which he proved himself possess- ed by his portrayal of Gaspard, the old miser. Jay Taylor will sing Lorenzo, the soldier lover of Zerlina, and Tom Daly will complete the cast in the part of the inn- keeper. Special soenery and costume: which mark all the productions of the Parry company, have been provided for this occasion, while the chorus will maintain its enviable record for strong singing in the concerted numbers. In response to the demand of society folk who give dinners at the Glen and after- ward attend the opera, the management has built In several boxes in the front of the orchestra circle, which may be re- served for private parties. While these give quite a metropolitan air to the subur- ban amphitheater, they do rot in the least interfere with the view of the stage from all parts of the house. MUSICAL RECITAL.- —The pupils of Mrs. Alice Strange Davis will give a recital at Park Temple, 6th and Trumbull streets nerthwest, next Wednesday evening, as- sisted by the temple choir and Miss Lola Jchnson, who has sung before the Presi- dent and members of his cabinet. Miss Lula Harmer will render an a: from Saint Saens’ “Samson and Delilah, Mrs. Lulu J. Brooks and Mr. Stanton Wormley will share special parti Se eae THE NAVY’S WEAPONS. Considered to Be Equal or Superior to Those of Foreign Service. From Harper's Weekly. The weapons of the United States nav’ are conceded to be the equals, and in many cases the superiors, of those in any foreign service. The following list gives the types of American naval ordnance, with the weights of the projectiles fired: Weight of reojecttie (its.). : 0 Some of the G-inch, and all of lesser cali- bers, are rapid-fire guns. The powder charges are, roughly, one-half the weight of the projectile. The smaller guns composing the second- ary batteries are one, three, six and twelve peunders, mostly of the Hotchkiss and Driggs-Schroeder patterns. The machine guns are of several patterns, including the Gatling, Colt, Hotchkiss, Maxim and Max- im-Nordenfelat. The small arms consist of the modified caliber .236, and the Colt revolver, caliber .38. The projectiles used are shells and shrap- nel, the former being of two varieties, com- mon and armor-piercing. Common shells are of cast steel, and are exploded by per- cussion fuses. Armor-piercing shells are of highly tempered steel, with specially hard- ened heads, to prevent them from breaking up on contact with armor. A small nose- cap is commonly put on the tip, to pre- serve the latter until it has entered the armor. Armor-piercing shells have no fuses, and are exploded by the heat en- gendered by the friction of piercing. Nickel-sheathed bullets are used in the small-arm rifle, and ordinary lead bullets in the revolver. Nearly all the torpedoes are of the White- head type, carrying 150 pounds of guncot- ton, and propelled by a gas engine within, although there are a few Howell torpe- does, which are driven through the water by a fiy-wheel rapidly revolving. Torpe- does are launched through the tubes on beard ship by means of expleding a smail charge of powder. Sword bayonets are provided for the rifles, and cutlasses are still in use. —_+-o-+—___ In the Missouri exhibit at the Omaha exhibition there is to be a pair of turkeys weighing eighty-two pounds. The owner says that this weight beats the record of the United States or Canada. The gob- bler weighs fifty pounds and the hen thirty-two. They were raised near Colum- bia, Mo. about AMUSEMENTS.
