The most curious experiment ever made with a piece of ordnance was at Portsmouth, England, says Invention. A stage was erected in the harbor within the tide mark; on this an Arm- strong gun of the 110-pound pattern ‘was mounted. The gun was then load- ed and carefully aimed at a target— afl this, of course, during the time of low tide. A few hours later, when the gun and the target were both covered with water to a depth of six feet, the gun was fired by means of electricity. We said “aimed at a target,” but the facts are that there were two targets but only one was directed for this spe- cial experiment, the other being the hull of an old vessel, the Griper, which lay directly behind the target and in range of the ball The target itself was placed only twenty feet from the muzzle of the gun. It was composed of oak beams and planks and was twenty-one inches thick. In order to make the old Griper invulnerable a sheet of boiler plates three inches thick was riveted to the water-iogged hull, in direct range with the course the ball was expected to take if not de- flected by the water. On all of these —the oak target, the boiler plates and the old vessel hull—the effect of the shot from the submerged gun was really startling. The wooden target was pierced through and through, the boiler iron target was broken into pieces and driven into its “backing.” the ball passing right on through both sides of the vessel, making a hvge hole through which the water poured in tor- rents. Taken altogether the experi- ment was an entire success, demon- etrating, as it did, the feasibility of Placing submerged guns in harbors jv times of war and doing great dam- «ge to the vessels which an enemy might dispatch to such points for the purpose of shelling cities. GIGANTIC REVOLVING TOWER. French Ingenuity Is Again to the Fore. France started the ball with the Eiffel tower, says London Invention. England endeavored to go one better with the Wembley, which is still in am embryo stage and appears likely to re- main se, while our American cousins struck a bright and nove! idea in the Ferris revolving wheel, which was af- | terwards introduced into Eng!and, and last season went merriiy round, ex- cept when it oceasionaly stopp d and required more or jess coax.ng ere it resumed its “daily round.” As a fact, our readers wiil remember it once had “a night out” on iis owa account Now, French ingenuity is once again (s the fore and this ‘ime the idia is io construct a lofty building that will spin slowly, like a majestic top. The festive Parisians are, it is stated, to have this novelty in their midst, the site chosen being near the summit of Montmartre, the highest point within the fortifications of the gay city. The conception of this big reva!ving tower dabout half the height of the Eiffel) is credited to M. Devic. The motive power for turning the structure, a cum- plete revolution of which would occu- py about two minues, would be hy- draulic force. The upper part of the building would be occapied by a public ballroom, in which dancing would take place from 11 p. m. to 2 a. m, while below this it Is intended to eon- struct an artificial ice-skating rink. A Great Telescope. Some idea of the remarkabdle charac- ter of the proposed telescope far the great Paris Exposition of 1900 may be gained by comparing the size of its fifty-one-inch object lens with the most wonderful yet constructed. Thus, the largest instrument of this kind now in ‘xistence is the Lick, having an object glass of thirty-six inches diameter; the second largest is at Pulkowa, Rus- sia, with a glass of thirty inches; the third is at the University of Virginia, its glass being twenty-six inches; Har- ward has the fourth largest, with a twenty-four-inch glass, and the fifth in size belongs to Princeton College. Tho famous Yerkes -telescope glass, the largest of the celebratec productions at Cambridge. Mass., is rated at forty inches diameter. And so, by some eleven inches, the Paris instrument is in excess of all others, and thus able it is anticipated, to bring the moon within one mile of us. The telescope The Geauty of the Greeks. The beauty of the Greeks has been greatly praised, and { was much disap- pointed at Athens; but the Greeks of the Ionian Islands are of a purer race, and one s metimes comes acrogs a very beautiful face. There was a village on the island famed for the beauty of the women. | drove.over and saw some very handsome, tall women, with the low, classic brow, and often with blue eyes. They wore their hair plaited with ribbons and twined around the head like a coronet. I was amazed to see such luxuriant hair, but was told that it was probably mixed with their moth- ers’ and grandmothers’ hair. I think Leighton’s idea that the Greeks were originally fair was correct. for I saw several fair-haired women. My maid Marguerite had the most lovely gold- en hair anu blue eyes; she was tall and statuesque. Her sister Futerpe was no less handsome, but dark.—Cathulic World. ‘The Cause of the Row.
