i} SHE'S THE GEM OF THE 0CEAN United Btates Cruiser OColumbia Will Be the Fastest War Vessel Afloat. WONDERS TO BE ACHIEVED BY HER Bhe WIIl Steain Around the World in 103 Days With Taking Conl-Details of Her Construction and Armament. “She needs neither colliers nor coaling Mations, for she carries both between her decks. She can stoam completely around tho world without touching at auy point for coai, and yet. when the ocension arises, she can overtake with ease the fastest of the ocean greyhounds Six such ships would exterminate the commerce of any country under the present conditions of eomimerce protec- tion. So wrote Secrotary Tracy of the gredt triple serew cruiser which is to have her preliminary trials during the coming weck: and’ ugain he wrote that she would have “u cca speed and A coal en- durance hitherto unknown in ships of war. She will be a match for the most ewift transatlantic liner aflont today. "This vessel is absolutely without paral- lel among the war seips of the world.” Naturally the speed trialof such a craft is of exceptional importance, says the New York Sun, while in a fow weeks w shall have the launch of a second of the type. making two out of the half dozen which would be capable, according to Mr. Tracy, of sweeping the commeree of any nation from the ocean, and thus, under tha present conditions of com- merce protection, “absolutely preclude an attack from a commercial state, how- ever threatening in its demands, power- ful in its armored floet, or aggressive in its foreign policy.” fer inormous Engines. The most interesting feature of the machinery, taken together, of course, with its ‘enormous horse power, is its eystem of triple-cxpansion engines driv- ing three screws, the third scrow being placod between and below the other two and fifteen feet further aft. This is the first appeavance of triple propellers in our navy, although they are well known in others. The Kaiserin Augusta, which was one of the very finest vessels at the naval review in New York harbor, rank- ing, perhaps, highest among the pro- tected cruisers, if the Blake bo reckone among armored vessels, had threq pro- rt:lln . The Dupuy de Lome, another big eruiser of 6,300 tons, is also provided with three, as several Italian torpedo cruisers have been. Henee Chief Eng- ineer Melville, in adopting the system for our na was not making an untried experiment. Indecd, not only had these foreign vesscls been fitted with triple crews, but the proper mode of arrang- ing them had been cavefully studied out and sottled upon. The French, in their steam launch Carpe, found that if the three propellers were placed abreast the center one lost efficiency; and this is how the latter came to be placed aft {:, the Dupuy de Lome as in the Colum- ia. But with us the choice of threo serows was n_nccessity. The aggregate in- dicated horse power needed to give the Columbia the high speed fixed upon was at least 21,000, or very much more than anything attempted in our navy. It was four times as greatas the Chicago's, three times as great as the San Fran- ciseo's, and 4,500 above the New_ York's, With two screws hall 6 this horse Power yiild hiave had to be transmitted through each of two shafts, and it was not clear or probable that so big a forg- ing of the highest character could be had in this country, at least without a great delay. The law required that the vessel should be built wholly of Ameri- can material. By dividing” the power among threo shafts this difficulty vanished. ‘Will Patrol the Globe, Again, as it is possible to disconnect any one of the three screws and leave it free to revolve, with very slight resist- ance to the progress of the ship, she can be driven very economically. She can work with one engine av_its” full power with one screw, making fifteen knots, or she can run with two engines and two screws, making eighteen to nineteen knots, when all three engines are not re- quired. 1t is also evident that this triple relinnce is an additional safe- goard against the vessel's being left helpless on the water. Still another point of importance in the Columbia is her maximum coal capacity, which is 2,000 tons, and this, at ten knots an hour, will give her an endurance, according to Mr. Tracy. of 103 days, or a radius of action of 25,520, miles, while Mr. Wilson reckons still more. This is & matter of great consequenco toa commerce destroyer. As for hor armament, while not very heavy, it is wholly adequate to her purpose for it in- cludes one 8-inch, two G-inch, and eight 4-inch guns, with a dozen G-pounders, four I-pounders, and four Gatlings in the sccondary battery. She has also six torpedo tubes. The Columbia will have a sustained sea speed of twenty-one knots, without harder conditions in her fire rooms than those of an ordinary Atlantie liner, and & maximum, it is believed, of twenty-two knots. She has a heavy armor deck running fore and aft, and covering maguzines, engines, boilers and stearing gear. It is four inches thick on the slopes and two and one- haif inches elsewhere, and these furthe facts arc given by Mr. Wilson, lately tho chief constructor Detalls of the Construction, ‘The vital portions of the vessel being pro- tected by an-arwored deck, the space be- tween thisdeck and the gun deck will be minutely subdivided by coal bunioers and store rooms; iu addition to these u coffer- dam five feet in width will bo worked next 1o the ship's side for the whole length of the vessel in bunkers; this will be filled with patent fucl, forming a wall five feet thick against ma i n fire; the contents can also be utilized as fuel in 4o eme : fo waurd ana abaft the coal bunkers the dam will be filled with some water exeluding substance similar to “woodite."

In appearance the vessel resembles closely an_ ordinary merchuntman, the sides being nearly elear of projections or sponsons which ordinurily appear on vessels of war; she will have two signul masts, but will have no mili- tary tops on them, however. “I'io function of the vessel is to destroy the commerce of an euemy ; therefore, her gen- eral appearance is such’ as to enablo her to got within range before her character is di covered. As a whole, this vessel is the latest 1dea of a powertul, economical, protected commerce destroyer.

Accommodating Bird Friend of the Crocodite, The current number of the Ibis con- tains an oxtremely intoresting commun- ication by Mr. J. M. Cook on the sub- jeet of the old world story of the bird which is said to attend on the crocodile, and to enter its mouth for the purpose of either picking its teeth or removing the leeches from its mouth. 'The latter is the oldor version, and was told by Herodotus as follows: “All other birds and beasts avoid him (tho crocodile): but he is at peace with the trochilos becauso he receives benefit from that bird, For when the crocodile gets out of the water on land and then opens its jaws, which it does commonly toward the west, the trochilos enters its mouth and swallows the lecches: the crocodile is so well pleased with this service that it never hurts trochilos.” Numberless authors repeated the story—which was am- 'd and oddly distorted by Pliny and medimval authors who followed him —but among modern ornithologists, at allevents, it has received but little cre- dence, though it is mentioned by many of them. Mr. Cook has, however, thrown new light on the question, and has supplied us with direct ovidence that a bird, which he identifies as the spur-winged plo doos enter the croeodile’s mouth, [t appears that in the year 1876 he noticed some crocodiles and several of the birds ‘“‘which are called by the natives of the Nile valley crocodile birds,” ona very large sandbank near Derr, the capital of Lower Nubia, and with his brother-in-law, the late Mr. J. E. Hedges, deter- mined to watch them, The following is his account,sin a somewhat condensed form, of what happened: *‘For this pur- vose, during the dark hours, we had a small pit dug on the western side of the largze sandbank in question, and about the peep of day the following morning wo_ensconced ourselves in the pit. * * * We watched patiently until about noon, when two large crocodiles came out of the water on to the bank, and apparently were soon asleep, Se eral crocodile birds commenced flitting over them, and through our field glasses we watched one bird and saw it go up to a crocodile, apparently asleep, which opened its jaws. “The bird hopped in, and the croco- dile closed its jaws. In what appeared to be a very short time, probably not more than a minute or two, the croco- dile opened its jaws, and we saw the crocodile bird go down to the water’s edge. As the sandbank was, I should st halt a mile across, and the back was turned toward us, we could not sce whether the bird vomited in the water or drank: but in the course of a few seconds it returned to the eroco- dile, which opened its mouth again, and the bird again entered. The mouth was closed, and ina short time was opened again for the bird to come out, and the samo operation was repeated at the river bank. We saw the same bird en- ter the crocodile’s mouth three times, and on three occasions run to the water to either vomit or dri Eventually Mr, Cook. shot two ¢ ds, which, The -85 Wi have said, hie has identified as tho spur-winged plover. In conclusion he tells us that ‘‘he never knew that the fact of the crocodile bircd entering the crocodile’s mouth was seriously doubted” until a conversation which he recently with Dr. Sclater and Mr. See- bohm, — e Fireworks tomorrow, Courtland beach. il READY FOR THE FIGHT. A Glimpse of the Vast Armed Camp of Kurope. What a wonderful spectacle itis that Furope now presents, says the London Spectator. Her population claims a sort of monopoly in civilization, yet outside of England every nation has reached the limit of its endurance in preparing for a war which nevertheless does not arrive. The surplus energy and money of the whole continent is devoted to keeping up a security which is nowhere felt to e quite sufticient yet is nowhere overtly threatened—which, indeed, is guaran- teed by profuse professions of peaceable ntions. work of civilization goes on, every day records some advance in science or in human comfort, the toilers are daily ting themselves to secure more | ure, better housing and pleasanter food, and yet the nations with one consent are converting themselves into food for powder. It is as if the professor and the merchant and the laborer, while strenuously going on with their business and eager 1o derive more comfort from it, were all agreed that they must sleep in plate armor. It would be almost comic were it not so terrible, and as yet there is not a sign that we ave arviving at the end of the situation. Peoplesay it must end some day, but it has gone on getting worse for” twenty years; and though it cannot get worse still, because men and money are alike exhausted, there is no proof that it will not last for twenty years further yet. There is not a statesman in Europe who could draw up, much less carry, a project of generaldisarmament. There is not a popular leader in Europe who makes of disarmament an eurnest evy, though the socialists in their fear of repression would do it if they could; aud we question if there is a nation in Europe which would consent to be disarmed. That is certainly not a triumph of human wisdom: and yet the nations are not more furious than usual, are not unreasonable, are not even indisposed to work through the methods of diplomacy. They are not even, in a way, unfriendly, for something *intor- national” is arvanged every week, and of congresses with all Europe repre- sented in them there is lilux'nl\y no end. ill the nations lie down in armor and rise up pistols in hand and befove they begin the day's labor look first to seo what the armed burglar may be at. What the end may be or can be we know no more than the simplest, but of this we are very sure, that no spectacle at once o undecountable and 0 sad hus evor yot been presented to the historian with eyes.

He was hungry and immediately took a hite from the refuse scrap of meat. This act was ob- served, and as it was against the rules of the concern he was arrested, was taken before a magistrate and bound over to the grand jury. Having no friends and no money he was thrown into jail, waiting for the grand jury to pass upoa his cuse. For & full month he TTHE OMATIA has lain in jail.

This was the Gisbursing of a rigmarole of fonscnse in_a solemn and impressive manner, as though he was saying something of unusual weight and importance. It wasa game of mystifi- cation in which he greatly delighted. At a dinner given him by leading Com- stockers at tho International hotel, Ward played his trick on Mark Twain, all present being let into the secret be- forchand. He began an absurd expos tion of the word genius, upon the con- clusion of which the embarrassed Mark was obliged to acknowledge his inability to comprehend the speaker’s meaning. “Indeed!” exclaimed Artemus, and for half a minute he gazed at Mark with a face in which a shade of impaticnce began to mingle with astonishment and on. Then heaving a sigh, he “Well, perhaps I was not suf- ficiently explicit. What T wished to say was simply that genius is a sort of illum- inating quality of the mind inherent in those of constitutionally inflammable natares, and whose conceptions are not of that ambiguous and disputable kind which may be said—" “Hold on, Artemus,” interrupted Mark, “it is useless for you to repeat your definition. The wine or the brand, or the whisky or some other thing has goue to my head. Tell it to mo somo other time, or, better still, write it down for me and I'll study it at my leisure.” “Good!” eried Artemus, his face beam- ing with pleasure. 11 give it to you tomorrow in black and white. T have been much misunderstood in this matter and it is important that 1 should set my- self right. You see that to the eye of a person of a warm and inflammable ure and in whose selfluminous mind ideas arise that are by no means con- fined to the material which coneeption furnishes, but may be— “Ifor God's sake!” eried Mark; “if you 2o at that again yow'll drive me mad{” The general burst of laughter whi followed this feeling and half-angry pro- test, made it plain to Mark that Arte- mus had been set to work on him with mulice aforethought, and that all pres- ent were in the plot and had been amus- ing themselves ut his expense.
