feNQINES OF DESTfjUCJION.
the Part Tkn kf Amrrloan In the Da
ilKnltiK al War Material.
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

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

WMrtleu-MORE LIGHT.
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
