The world moves so fast and im provements follow one another in such rapid succession that the work of Original dosigners is often lost amid a maze ot modifications, and the imitator becomes famod abova the artist If wo turn to modern war machinery we shall find apt illustrations of this, and In most of the effective material in the great European armaments behold the cunning fanhloning of the Yankee in ventor. Admiral Porter has told us that the guns at Hampton Roads the Monitor and Morrimao fight re sounded through the world and an nounced to the British that their great steam fleet the finest in the world at that time was obsolete. The great iron fleets of to-day have been devel oped from this Monitor germ. The liquid compass, that makes It possible to navigate iron and steel ships, is tho invention of Mr. Ritchie, of Brookline, Mass. The world talks of the Krupp gun, yet how few are aware of the fact that it was only through the in vention of the American, Colonel Bradwell, that Ilerr Krupp was enabled to make his guns effective? General S. V. Bunet, Chief of Ord nance, U. S. A., speaking on this sub ject, says: All modem tp gun are of one or two sy tcm. either the Krupp bolt VHlem or the In terrupted screw uiied In the French service. Our pun are of the lutter system, which seem to offer the preuiefct advantage. Like all good modern Invention, it i an American one. Ko, for that mutter, I the Krupp, or rather what rave Krupp' Invention tho practical value. The jrreat trouble with the Krupp (run wa the escape of ga at the breech. Thi wu over come hythe aid of the "Bradwell plate." the Invention of Colonel Bradwell, an American, who sold Krupp the Invention. It conMsts of a thin steel plate, with elastic edtrei, that fit In the breech; and the pressure of the gua wedges ii tightly against the sides and pre vents the escape of ga. The machine gun, that terrible weap on now so important a part of the great European armaments both on land and sea, is primarily an invention of the American, Dr. Catling; the French mitrailleuse is a modification of it so is the Nordeufelt In June. 38M3, Nor denfelt brought suit against Gardner, inveutor of the Gardner machine gun. tor infringement Gardner showed that the principles on which the Nordenfelt gun was constructed had long been developed in the American Gatllng machine gun and Winchester rifle, indeed long before 1873. wheu Nordenfelt got his English patent It may fairly be said that this principle has found its highest development in the automatic gun of the American, Hiram Maxim, a gun which will fire COO shots a minute; the recoil being utilized to load and fire and to keep a stream of water moving about the barrels for cooling. The disappearing gun mechanism is also his invention. The screw propeler, an invention that makes it possible to sink the motive power of a war ship, within and without out of range of flying shot though first tried iu British waters, found no favor till Captain Ericsson came hither. The revolver, now in universal use, is, as every body knows, the invention of Colonel Colt, of Connecticut We may add to the list the dynamite gun, yet iu the in fancy of its development, and the dynamite cruiser, intended to make up for its shortcomings in point of rauge, of which an English authority recently said there was not, probably, a ship afloat that would be safe before it. The torpedo, now holding so impor tant a place among war material, was first made practicable and effective during our last war; its cousin, the automobile torpedo, of comparatively recent desiguiug, is also Americau, though there are several foreign forms of the same. Scientific Amorican. VASE, NOT VAWZ. A Little Word About Whoie Proiiuucia ' tlon Muoli llu lleon Written. , If throe of our moat celebrated poot3 Pope,' Byron and Moore may bo cited as ortheeplsts, then are, or were, "case," "face" and "grace" correct rhymes to "vase," in proof of which I append a quotation from each poet:, Pope. "The Rape of the Lock," canto v ad fin.: There hcrooa' wits are Kept In pouderous vase And beuux In snuff-boxes and tweezer cases. i Byron, "Don Juan," c. viii., b. 96: . A pure, transparent, pale, yet radiant face, Like to a lightod alabaster vase. Moore, "Odes of Anacreon." v. and lxxviii. : Grave me a onp with brilliant grace, : Doep as the rich and holy vase. etc. Ode lxxviii. has the same rhyme. Ihe question is, was such pronunci ation of '.'vase," the "pure well of En- giisn undehied," or was it only po etic license," or caprice, fashion or custom? Of course, many words alter their pronunciation from ago to age, and "vase" may be one of them, as at present I think, the word is generally pronounced as though it rhymed with "stars." Kuttall, in the prefaco to his dictionary, says: "The standard of pronunciation is not the authority of any dictionary, or any orthoeplst; but it is the present usage of literary and well-bred society." If this bo so, such usage seems to be the "safest stand ard'' we have for our pronunciation. Keats, in one of his miscellaneous po ems, makes "faces" rhyme with "vases": Fair dewy rose brush agalnit our facet. And Dowering laurel spring from diamond vase. When I was a boy, about 1843, wo had a reading book, one story In which was about "Tho Broken Vase." My father taught us to read It to rhyme with "chase," but we after ward came to think It ought to be something between "Mars" and "vanz." Votes and Queries Wliat Can He Found In tha Grand Forest or the Dark Continent. Hippopotami are abundant in the rivers and lakes, and their hides. when properly prepared (which is done by cutting the skin into long thin strips), will fetch five pound. apiece in South Africa, and are even of considerable value in England for making walking sticks, which have a beautiful, transparent, amber-like appearance. But tne great wealth of this country lies In its ivory, which Is preferred to any other In the Zanzibar market The elephant abounds in the neighborhood of Kilima-njaro and Kenia to the extent of many thousands. He here becomes quite a mountaineer, and ranges through the magnificent forests that clothe tho uppur slopes of these giants among African peaks. The natives waylay his forest tracks with artfully-devised pit falls and traps, preferring this more cowardly way of procuring their Ivory to facing tire elephant in the chase. Other tribes to the north and west of Kilima-njaro kill the elephant with poisoned arrows or javelins or sharp swords. Indeed, there is one district on the northern borders of Masai-land, where, according to Mr. Joseph Thomson, "elephants are said to swarm unmolested aud their ivory io rot untouched, for the people of the surrounding region have no trading relations with any one, and do not know the value of the precious article. A t usk worth 1.30 in England may be picked up for nothing, or bought from any native for a pennyworth of beads." However this may bo, whether the ele phants are slain for their ivory, or whether, as iu the tales of "Sinbad the Sailor," there are districts in which tho tusks may be simply gath ered from among the bones of ele phants who for centuries have died, and died untouched, in these untraveled wilds, ivory is procured somehow and in such quantities even with the ab surdly inadequate existing means of exploitation and porterage that there is always more than enough to supply the many native caravans led by Mos lem traders from the coast which an nually traverse this country between the Victoria Xyanza and the Indian Ocean. Another item of trade should not bo forgotten, namely, tho valuable and handsome wild-boast skins which may either be procured in the chase or vory cheaply purchased from the na tives. A leopard's skin may be bought for about 2s. or 3s worth of goods, aud will soli on the coast for 8s. or 9s. Lions' skins are less easy to obtain from the natives, as that animal is rarely killed by them, but the com pany's sportsmen might shoot him to considerable extent, as he Is both com mon and bold. Monkey skins of tho handsome variety of bushy, white tailed c;lobus, which is alone found in this regnon, are valuable and fetch a good price on the coast. H. ft. John ston, in Fortnightly Review.

Rob llnrdetta Addreaae m ftequet to the i. Flfty-Flrat Conirre. , Permit me to suggest a moasuro ol reform and relief which the LL Con gross might pass and which would re flect great luster upon President Har rison's: Administration. It might be entitled "A Bill for tho Relief of Peo pie who Walk in Darkness," or "An Act to Prohibit the Use of Gas by Peo ple who Can Not Afford It" And I'll tell you why I favor such legislation. I am fond of the light; I love airy houses with many windows and not too many shades'; I enjoy bright rooms at night; I dislike sleeping in a dark room; I don't care to sleep under an electric light and I know that dark ness rests the eyes, but I al ways want enough light around to enable me to distinguish a rooking chair from a bureau and a door from a window. But we can get along well enough when we are asleep; what we want is plenty of light when we are awake. Well, now; you know the house I mean; you have been in it where the people burn gas and econo mize with it A parlor as big though not quite so cheerful as the morgue, is "lighted" that isn't the word I want, txactly, but you know what I me an y one burner In a chandelier of half a ' uozen, and the dim religious light makes you feel as though you were at tending your own funeral. .Suppose you are a guest and come out of your own room, leaving the gas burning brightly; if you will return in five minutes you will find that some careful body has been in there and turned the gas down till it turns blue. If you vent ure to turn a gas jet on to a full head, that you may read, the minute you lay down the book somebody turns down the gas. There is one drop-light In the sitting-room; around this ray of cheer fulness the family gathers, now and then looking timidly over their shoul ders toward the shadows that lurk in the gloomy corners of the roo'm. The house, from sunset to bed-time, is shrouded in aghastly twilight no sort of joke intended; it's a subject too solemn for jesting. There is no econ omy in this short of thing: gas bills never vary; and it's no way to live. A dim, religious lght is the boss light to go to sleep by, but it's heathenish ona wicked to live by. Burdelte, in Brook lyn Eagle. A Snake Vein. What was known as the Sullivan Falls mine is now only marked by a pile of broken rock; but In the days when men's brains were fired by the glittering pros pects of untold wealth it seemed a bo nanza and assumed corresponding pro portions. Ground was broken there ia winter, and the first thing that wai struck by the prospectors after going down through tlie frost was a vein of snakes! And such snakes! There were tiny infant snakes that had just been ushered into this sinful world: there were hoary headed old grandfathers, and uncles and cousins, and aunts! There were black snakes, and green snakes, and yellow snakes, and every color of the rainbow snakes! There were thou sanus in the colony, It wasn't a very good paying vein; but some of the Maine gold mines uidn't pan out so well as this, even. Lewiston Journal. a nasiungton Territory farmer was digging a post hole on the banks of Smoke River when he unearthed a skeleton richly dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The coat was especially fine and was adorned with velvet collar and cuffs. t?he place whero the skele ton was found had been used as a horse corral for the past fifteen yeara. A clever horse thief, who had been stealing many '-animal's in Queens County, New York, was arrested, when considerable difficulty was experienced in identifying him. Witnesses stated that while trying to dispose of his sto'rn horses he had two eyes. When arrested he had Imtone eye. A glass eye was found iiij his clothes and when placed in the socket every person ecocnized. him., aoiiuou ias a pobr-roiief society that rece'ives'as contributions garment!' instead of 'money. ; Each member is obliged to contribute : two garments a year. These ' are disposed of it: various ways by the officers of the so ciety. Some are sold at low prices to the poor; Borne aregiven awayj aur" ome are keyt in stock aud loaned. , It is said the reason, whv the prac tice was established of mounting a horse on the loft hand side, wits that the saber or sword has always been hung to a man's left side and it would be in the way in "mounting on the right side.
