HB OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10. 1904. STOKES' FLOATING GLOBULAR By Anson Phelps Stokaa. Captain Mahan pointed out 14 years ago the necessity that this country should build coast defense ships. Hs wrote: "By sarrlfletng power to go long dis tances, ths coast defense- ship gains proportionate weight of armor and guns; that is. defensive and offenslvs strength." I have Invented a vssssl which Is not only an Impregnable coast defense ship, 'but a most powerful battleship, and abls to go long distances. 1 was lsd to this Invention partly by seeing, while yachting In the Caribbean. a remarkable little island called Diamond Rock, ons mils off ths southwsst ooast of Martinique. It la about 100 feet square, 674 feet high and with precipi tous aides. Diamond Rook was for merly rated as a sloop-of-war on the books of the British admiralty. In January. 1784. Sir Samuel Hood laid his 74-gun ship Centaur closs alongside this rock, to ths top of which he mads fast a hawser on which was a travslsr. He then hauled three long twenty-fours and t two eighteen to the top and left them In charge Of Lieutenant Maurice, with 120 men and boys, with ammunition, provis ions and water. The crew built a cis tern. For IS months this novel sloop-of-war did great Injury to the French hipping going to and from ths neigh boring harbor, now railed Fort de France, until June 1, 1106, when she was surrendered, for want of powder, to a French squadron of two seventy-fours, a corvette, a schooner and 11 gunboats. 'In this engagement the stone sloop-of-war Diamond Rock killed and wounded 70 men and destroyed three gunboats, with a loss to herself of two killed and one wounded.

My systsm of elevating great guns, by shifting the center of gravity of the whole vessel by means of weights and water tanks, permits the use of much heavier and longer guns, whose barrels can be supported against raussle-droopn. The need of turrets Is done away with by revolving the vessel horizontally by means of her screws. Only a vessel of more or less globular form could carry anything like such weight of armor as these carry. It Is also to be noted that the sides sre all circular, and the portions above water very sloping, so that projectiles would glance For many straits and harbors, globu lar or psrtlnlly globular batteries would 3 AT THE THEATRES.

"A Little Outcast" at the Empire. When "A Little Outcast" comas to the Rmplre theatre tomorrow afternoon it will not be difficult to understand why It has been the biggest succsss of Its kind on ths road for the past two sea sons. It Is a play written In an Interest ing and appealing style Involving some Ingeniously devised situations. Ths engagement of "A Little Outcast" Is for four nights, starting with the usual matinee tomorrow. Poxy Acts st the Star. .The reproduction on the stags of the Star theatre of Foxy Grandpa and the two bad boys, as made famous In the Illustrated papers. Is the feature of this week's program.

The Arcade Has Pine Soubrettes. A little bit of soubrette work, which Is the gem of Its kind, is presented st the Arcade theatre this week by ths Montsgue slaters, two of the cleverest soubrettes ever seen In Portland. These girls cannot only sing and dsnce, but are actresses of no mean ability. Line Up for Bijou. Just two more evenings of this week's great bill st the Bijou. Tomorrow the performance Is practically continuous, however. Sidney and Elmo get sweet muslo from weird Instruments, and Hil nebrandt astonlshss svery one by his marvelous muscular development.

He experiments with analogies shown by. the phenomena of radio-activity, with ebullition on the one hand and with the decompositions accompanying the life of albumen on the other. The atoms of radlo-actlvs substances ars in a state of unstable equilibrium. Some of them, every now and then, pass abruptly Into the nsxt state. The passage amounts to an explosion, although It dif fers from ordinary explosives In not nscsssarlly tending to ths simultaneous explosion of sll the other atoms around. A similar phenomenon Is presented by a boiling liquid, where certain portions of the gasefled liquid suddenly burst out from ths Interim, producing vortices in the liquid and taking portions awsy from them in the form of spray. Ths vortices would correspond to csrtaln rays, and the gas and the spray to two certain other varieties of rays. Boms striking snsloglss to the behavior of the emana tions are offered by nitrogen, among them one of the most rsmarkable being that of cynogen, and nitrogen on ac compounda resulting from the decompo sition of albumen. All the nitrogenous compounls resulting from ths decompo sition of albumen contain cynogen. This has a high Internal energy, and Is there fore extremely unstable, and la believed by some to be a constituent of sll living matter.

It had fretted his soul be yond relief. Fears took him at times, but chiefly It was anger that stirred In his bslng. Kitty had listened to his confidences she had sympathised with him; once he had klased hsr "good night." He re membered the Incident, snd fslt the timid velvet of hsr lips against his once more. "Pshaw!" hs said, furiously, as hs walked. "Never again never, never. Once fooled" and he had been fooled, tool He had believed In her. Kitty had done her part of It well enough Chaseney gave her grest credit for thst. He had not suspected them In the least. Brio had sncompaseed the suddsn downfall; ths secret bad be come too big for his holding. In a burst of youthful confidence he had laid the matter before Chaseney; he had gone so far aa to show. In his boyish conceit, hsr letters: Chaseney had been thus first roused then stunned. Had ths boy been pos sessed of an ounce of perception he must have become aware of the ratal Idiocy of his conduct But no; Brie stumblsd on, giving wsy what he thought waa bis "whole sour" to the older man. Bhe had deceived him basely, mesnly. Had allowed him to kiss hsr on lips that others -., No, hsng It! He couldn't, wouldn't believe that. By Jove, though why not? Ones these girls stsrted the game they gen erally played It thoroughly. Memories floated upward in Chaseney s mind; all women had deceived him. Every single one. , "I'll never speak to her or speak of her again," he resolved for the thou sandth time since ths morning. "Bhe can have the boy; but she won't have me. No, Indeed! 'Won't she? Poor thing, what a lot Sha will loss!" Somebody was echoing him. laughing at htm. Chaaeney pulled himself together with a Jerk and an apology. Kitty stood before him on the pathway, the gleams of the aettlng sua framing her pretty fscs. "Dsy-dreams?" shs asked, with hsr bead on one side. 'No yes. Nightmares. Kit, I wanted to see you I wanted to ask you" Hs stammered and hesitated. "Well 7" she questioned, coming to his side. As he remained silent, shs went on, cheerfully: "I have Just been to your place. They're all out. and Martha Is cooking your dinner It smelt so nics that I had a great mind to stop." Corns back with me. then." he said. earnestly. "I wish you would. Mater will be home by now." 'No, no; It waa only my joke. Good bye; sea you tomorrow. 'No. you wont; tomorrow will be Bun- day. Tou have forgotten." hs had to say. It after all. 'Forgotten r' She peeped up at htm. trying In the half light to read his face. She saw tr ouble In It, and became more guarded. "What do you mean, Frank? Are you cross with msT" But the deferential, anxious manner was no longer a charm In her hands. Chaseney gloomed at her. 'Tomorrow will be Sunday," he repeated with sin ister meaning. Then, offhandedly 'Eric expects to see you. Bhe blushed red aa the sun. then paled so that hs thought shs would faint. Words tremblsd on her lips and died there. At last "Brio hao been talking?" she ques tioned, indistinctly. "He has" grimly. "I'll walk back with you. Frank. Aftsr all If you don't mind. I want to have my scolding and get It over." Hsr voice wbb sweet and brave, and Chaaeney railed at himself anew to find that" ft could so move him. Hs would fight the feeling down though. "Come on, then," he answered dryly. He added, with a shrug, "I'm not going to. scold you, however." "Tes, you are," ahe affirmed. "You're going to be ever so horrid and cross Just because I spoke to a little boy" Chaseney checked her with some at tempted dignity. "My dear Kit," said he quietly, "please don't think me like that. Tour writing and walking and flirting with Master Eric Is no concern of mine; and I wouldn't presume to crltlclss slther of you. What do I feel In ths matter Is, that that you should both of you think It worth while to de ceive me." Bhe was silent so long thst hs had to continue the story. "Brio Is a friend of mine hs Is a nice boy; and I have tried to be a real friend to him. To you also. Kit, If I may ssy so. Tou might know me better than to think I should be Jealous. Of course, there was no occasion to tell me; I'm not your father confessor; still. I do think you need not have decoelvsd me. Surely there was no reason for any mystery " "I'm sorry," the girl began; then choked, and said no mors. "Wont you corns InT" Chasensy re peated his Invitation courteously. Ha was quite master of himself by now. "I will. I I can't be ridiculous out here, even though It la dark. I want to see Mrs. Chasensy." Shs stumblsd la hsr speech painfully; but Chaseney affected not to notice It. When they were inside the old-fashioned sweet-smelling, softly-lighted room, alone, since his mother was not yet re turned from her calls, the drama moved on again. "What did he tall your shs whispered tensely. "Let me know all that I have to face." Chasensy, In his prssent critical mood, thought this rather theatrical and stared gravely at hsr. He looked at the straight IMtle nose and the quivering mouth, the half defiant chin, the looss ends of soft brown hair about hsr wist ful face, with something of disapproval. 'What mads you do it?" hs asked, frowning. "I I don't know. I don't really. Frank." Her voles shook a little and she sat down uninvited. 1 waa frlght sned I'd loee you. and so did a silly thing. Tou cant think I meant any thing with that boy'" "I don't go into t)ie question." he answered, not yet realising all that her attitude implied. "It's not my busi ness. I sen only troubled that you should have been underhand about It. You and Eric can do aa you please. I wouldn't presume to Interfere. Only, of course" be spoks hsrs loftily itha boy can't afford to make you presents; he only has a small salary." "Hs doesn't make ms presents. How dsrs he say so? As If I would allow It!" Then, feeling Chaseney's gase flxsd on a little gold brooch fastening s chiffon tic about her throat, shs blushed again, more dsely than before. "It was a valentine." she murmured faintly, "given, ms ever so long ago." This enraged him afresh. So it had been going on slnos February) And he the only blind one! "Tou have played your cards well," hs sneered. "Honestly. I never sus pected either of you. Eric will become a politician In due season, hs under stands the art of dissembling. He has learned It In a good school." Shs rose to her feet at this and moved to the door witnout a word: but Chase ney felt shame for himself the moment he hsd spoken. "I'm sorry I don't mean thst. Tsa. try Jove, I do. though. We had better 3ivrr. crrv mvt VtlJUfosA LwQMei COtV ijjjrK wUt Cow. AJtL -eta talk plainly, sines It's for the last time. Oood-by." Ths girl swayed a little at the door, but nerved herself to the effort. "Qood by," she snswered vaguely, and was al ready across ths threshold. Bhe psussd there, "Lst me tell Brio in my own way, please," shs asked brokenly. A saving tmpulss made her look at him out of her sad grey eyes. A re vulsion of feeling swspt through Chase ney. "Oh, Kit, what mads you do it?" he srled again. "Because I was afraid." "Of whatr She gulped down a sob. but remslned silent. Her eyes dropped before dhe fieroe Inquiry of his. "I havs lost you both," shs muttered, at last. isn't that enough? Good by." Impatience seised him. ' Yes. yss, but whatsvsr mads you? It's so Incomprehensible." Then shs told him. "Brio loves ms with all ths love he has to spare." "To spare T" "Tes who offers me more than that?" She came back Into the room swiftly; the dragon roused In hsr, at lsngth. "What man aver offers a woman mors than thai? We moat take what we can; all that ean be spared us from business, from pleasure, from othsr women." Hsr voles rose. , "Do you think we don't know, that we don't see? The game can be played on both sides, can't It? Brio has been kind to me; he thinks hs Is In love." Chaseney smiled ooldly. "Ah, If Eric had but your years and you his heart l" shs cried almost wildly. Shame caught her aa shs ended thua; and overwhelmed her She dropped to ths sofa suddenly and her hands went up to cover hsr burning face. Shs wspt softly, utterly. "If Eric had but your years, and you his heart." It was true; Chaaeney oould not deny It. He .had simply taken one view of this matter his own, a man's. Hs had not until now the ability to rise above sslf. He looked down upon hsr, weeping abased but 'there was still a note of pained surprise In his voice. "But you know I do love you. Kit," he began; then auddsnly his tons altered, almoat against his will. Hs came down to his knees beside her, and tried to take away her fingers from her face A great tear splashed against his cheek, as he kissed and klased again the backs of her little, resoluts hands. "Tou know I lovs you dear," he mur mured, appeallngly. "Let me take care of you give me the proper right to be Jealous." A great sigh shook her slendsr body; hsr fingers relsxed. Two gray, tear dimmed eyes rested their gase upon htm for an Instant searchlngly. Then doubt showsd in them cloudily. Shs shook hsr bead. "No!" shs whispered obstinately. "No!" Chaseney put both arms round her and drew her to him. His mouth sought hsrs and pressed a dlffsrsnt answer upon it "Hers Is my mother's ring," hs told her afterward, releasing her thst hs might have his hands free to do his will. 'Wear It, Kit, until I can get you one for yourself. We can maks a stsrt on what I havs. If you are not also afraid of that." Doubt died llngerlngly In her eyea as they answered him with fresh tears. But these were gentle, the sfter-showsr that betokens hops of fine westher near at hand. CITY V0TICE8. . A 1 PBOrOSAU FOR STBTX CELLS roR CITY JAIL.
