"Wh«n they get to using crynamite much in the navy I want to go farm­ ing." The speaker was the genial Capt. Edmund O. Matthews, execu­ tive officer of the Charlestown Navy Yard. It was on board the Wabash that he tuade the above remark, in reply to a question put to him by a reporter, and as he made it he laughed heartily, but good-naturedly, at the ignorance displayed by the journalistic landsman who sat near him. "Dynamite in naval warfare," he added, when he had recovered from his amusement, "is something that you hear about more in the newspapers than elsewhere." The Vesuvius was lying in the stream off the navy yard. She had arrived up the harbor from New York about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,being the first of the squadron of evolution to put in an appearance, and she was surrounded by a number of small boats carrying many curious observ­ ers. Immediately upon her arrival the usual courtesies were exchanged betweerTtaer and the yard. When the reporter called on Capt. Matthews he hsul not yet been on board the visitor, naval etiquette allowing him twenty- four hours after her arrival in which to do so. The reporter had always heard the Vesuvius spoken of as "the dyna­ miter," of "the dynamite boat," and in his lan lsmnnlike simplicity, he supposed that she was prepared to belch forth dynamite by the ton, and blow an antagonist out of the water and clear across the Atlantic Ocean if her commandea: desired her to do so. "No," F«mthed Capt.X Matthews, after a moment's silenced "I don't want to be on board a vessel that has got much dynamite aboanjl People talk about dynamite inTa very uncon­ cerned way. It is ternble stuff. It is very dangerous handle, and is likely to do those who employ it as a destructive force as much harm as it does the enemy against whom they direct it. Gun cotton is calculated to serve the purpose of the attacking party about as well, and It is not near so dangerous for them to handle." The Vesuvius is a narrow, sharp- prowed, rakish-looking craft, setting low in the water and giving outwardly every indication that speed and speed alone was the aim of her designers. She is built of steel, but is entirely unarmored, for she is intended to "shoot and then get out of the way," as a workman on board put it. She is 246 feet long, though looking hardly two-thirds that length, 26£ feet beam, 8£ feet mean draught and 700 tons displacement. Her engine gives 4,280 horse-power and have driven her at a speed of nearly twenty-two knots an hour, or over twenty-live miles as measured by landsmen. Her armament, in addition to several rapid-lire and machine guns for de­ fense against torpedo boats, consist­ ing of three flfteen-inch pneumatic guns, each capable of throwing a charge of 550 pounds of dynamite or other high explosive. Each gun is flfty-flve feet long, and they are mounted side by side as far forward as possible, the muzzle of each pro­ jecting for about twenty feet above the deck, at an angle of eighteen de­ grees, while the breach is "between decks" and, with the loading mechan­ ism, entirely under cover. As the elevation of the guns is thus fixed,the range is secured by varying the air pressure, while the training, tiring, etc., is all done frotti an armored cov­ ering tower, which ^akes the place of the pilot house on the ordinary steamer. The method of loading the guns is an interesting one, and is done on the principle of the revolver. The rear the forward end may swing downward until it clears the main barrel. Di­ rectly opposite this breach, as now tionery^parcTJF five-bar­ reled revolver cylinder, each barrel of which holds one shell with its explo­ sive charge, and as the cylinder .re­ volves each shell in turn may be slid into the open breach of the gun and the firing go on as fast as the breach can be swung downward, receive its charge, swung upward to. its place and its charge sent on its mission of destruction at a signal from the cov­ ering tower. Fifteen rounds may thus be fired from the guns without reload­ ing the revolvers, and if in that time the Vesuvius has not destroyed her antagonist, it is pretty certain that she herself will not be in condition to throw any more.--Boston Journal. - Hot Day Fancies. •'When we talk of heat," asked • a young lady, suddenly, of a company well provided with palm-leaf fans and soothed by the influence of recent ice­ cream, "what do you think of? What place? What time? What scene rises instantly before your fancy?" Her friends roused themselves to respond to the question, and here are some of their replies: "A new concrete sidewalk at noon, with the sun beating down on it, and one's heels sinking in, and the heat reflected into one's face, and the air pervaded by the smell of tar." "The desert, with an exhausted car- avan struggling to reach a mirage that hovers on the horizon, \but doomed to perish of thirst, as the ittan and camel whose bleached bones t>ey are passing perished long before the) I think it is the remembrance \>f some picture I saw when I was child." "Wasing dishes in the kitche when the mercury stands at ninet out of doors and a hundred and some-' thing within, aud your hands are all soapsudsy and greasy, so that you can't even lift them to your face to wipe away the perspiration, and you are so tired and cross and miserable that you would cry if you weren't ashamed to." "The deck of a becalmed yacht, with a glassy sea, and a long, slow roll, and the brass work so hot that it burns the hands; the sun high, the sky cloudless, the sails hanging with not a breath to stir them; the victim prostrate, and deathly sea-sick with no consciousness in the present save of heat and nausea, and no expecta­ tion for the future but of probable sunstroke." \ ' [ "Standing alone in the middle of a Wide, bot field flaming with scarlet lilies and listening to the locusts In the grass." { "Walking along a country road be­ tween treeless, barren pastures, with no living thing in sight but an ox- team lurching slowly on its way in a cloud of yellow dust.

There is noth­ ing very startling in that. And the street-car conductor is not alone in such work, either. He does no more than the average citizen does who finds that he has been duped by a shover of the queer. A bogus bill or a spurious poin does not retire from circulation just as soon as its worth- lessness is discovered by the holder. The innocent party who has paid >5 for a bit of worthless paper isn't con­ tent to lose his investment. He i^ not a counterfeiter and even if he were caught in an attempt to pass the bogus bill he could plead innocent and escape the law's penalty without doubt; because he himself was victim* ized, you see, and who can prove that he had discovered the fact before he attempted to get rid of the bill? Thus a good deal of counterfeit money remains in circulation and it seems almost impossible to suppress it. The Government's efforts are directed toward the punishment of the makers of the spurious stuff and the profes­ sional shovers of it. It is impossible to do more than that. Counterfeiting nowadays has reached a point ap­ proaching perfection. Very often a bogus bill remains in circulation a long time and performs all the func­ tions of money. Half of the counter­ feits that come into our hands in any other way than by a capture of the 'mint' show actual service. It is pretty difficult for an inexperienced man to pick out a bad bill. The other day Capt. Porter overhauled a man in Southern Indiana who had been dis­ playing a counterfeit bill. The fellow claimed to be an expert and was sell­ ing a 'counterfeit detector' publica­ tion. But the bill in his possession was a genuine treasury note and not a counterfeit at all. - The assistant cashier of one of the biggest banking institutions in Chicago accepted a $10 bill the other day and after banking hours was surprised to find the word 'counterfeit' stamped upon the back of the bill in red ink, the letters be­ ing large enough to be easily read across the room.--Chicago MaSL In Wfeked Gotham. Walking up Park Row the other morning I met "Tim" Golden one of the well-known detectives, of In­ spector Byrnes' staff, says a writer in the New York Telegram. While we were talking a refined looking, well- dressed woman of slender build and middle age came briskly along toward where we were standing. "Do you see that woman coming this way?" remarked Tim. "Take a good look at her; she is one of the cleverest confidence thieves in the United States. As she was passing us the veteran detective hailed her familiarly.

IN the eighteenth century the French clockniakers l»ecame very fa­ mous. The clocks- and the shops of Lebon, Le Roy, Gaudron, Rivaz Thiout, Lepine, Berthoud, and Le Pante, Were of European notoriety and great attractions for foreigners visiting the capital. The clock mak­ ing industry became SQ flourishing that in 1789 there were 210 clock- makers established within the limits of Paris, among whom were Breguet, Carcel, Caron, Le Pante, Lepine and five Le Roys. Of these names sev­ eral are still famous in the trade. DOTUNG the Revolution, and when the Constitution was made, various societies were formed for the abolition of slavery, the first originating in Philadelphia, April 14. 1775, with Benjamin Franklin as President. A second society with the same purpose in view, formed in New York, Jan. 25, 1785, with John Jay as President (later succeeded by Alexander Ham' ilton). These were the beginning of many throughout the States, their meetings,'publications and petitions being treated respectfully until the development of cotton planting in the early part of the nineteenth cent­ ury raised the price of slaves, when the struggle between the anti-slavery and pro-slavery interests began. Bsw Th«y Drive in l̂ ondaa* England is the only place I know of where they drive to the left. Eng­ lish drivers say that by sitting on the right and driving to the left they can better watch the hubs of approaching vehicles, and thus prevent collisions.

Quick-going vehicles will turn a oorner sharply, but the driver raises his whip to notify the vehicle in hie Immediate rear that he is about to turn. "Cabbies" are more considerate concerning fellow-drivers than they are thoughtful about the lives and limbs of pedestrians. All their atten­ tion is given to the roadway.

Modentn and Matches, I saw a most astonished rat one day when eating dinner in a repair shop, says a writer in the Paper Tradi Journal. One of the men had laid some matches up in a brace three or four feet above his chest. Mr. Rat, in hunting for something to eat, caught hol<l of these matches, and perhaps thinking the phosphorus good to eat, undertook to bite off a piece of it. The matches are of the "cat and mouse kind," and cracked quite loudly when pinched by the teeth of the rodent. A more astonished rat per­ haps was never seen, but he dropped the matches, which fell into a pile of shavings and blazed up. It did not take long to put out the fire, but it is safo to say that the millwright will never again leave matches where rats can get hold of them.

Unfortunately the two men who devised the fraud escaped, carrying with them $50,000 of the swag. The total amount bunkoed out of* their dupes Is estimated to be •100,000, but a portion "went into the "business." Salaries and office rents had to be paid. The expenses of agents had to be provided for. There were considerable printing bills and advertising circulars to pay. Then, too, a few jndiciously scattered loans had to be made to inspire faith in the fraudulent enterprise. The plan was a simple one. This ••company," with the resonnding title, pretending to have a capital stock of $20,000,000, offered to make thousand-dollar loans on the follow- terrns: The applicant to buy one share for 50 cents, to pay a member- seip fee of $30, an appraisement fee $2, and to make a monthly payment $11.05 for ninety-six months or eight years--the payment for the first four months, or $45, to be made in ad vance--at the end of which time the loan would be extinguished. Adding up all the payments It will be seen that the borrower receives $1,000, and he pays back $1,110 in install­ ments of $183 the firs* year and $132.60 during the succeeding seven He has made therefore an astonish- ingly good bargain, and has secured real money at rates fabulously low. Of course the "company" never had the least intention of going into any such unprofitable business. It made a few loans, but that was merely to bait the hook for the suckers. When a neighborhood saw one man borrow­ ing on these fabulously cheap terms others wanted a chance. The object of the swindlers was to collect their membership and appraisement fees and the four months advance pay. ment, or $95 in all, from as many at they could and then shut up shop and scamper into hiding. Had they had a few weeks more time to work their game they might have doubled theii lawless loot. Tho secret of their success and of that of other sharpers who have pre­ ceded them was partly their own cleverness, but chiefly the painful i financial ignorance of many men.' These scamps were bright enough to hire good offioes in a flue building, to furnish them well, and put in them a number of clerks, so that the visitor might imagine that the concern really had a large capital and was doing a flourishing business. These outward signs of solidity and prosperous in* tegrity appear to have produced their natural effect on some investors who called to see why their loans were not forthcoming. Ail this smartness would have been thrown away, however, but for the fact that those with whom they had dealings never had learned that in this world at least it is very difficult to got anything for less than it is worth. They never learned that where a man offers a gold brick, a bond, or goods for less than the market price he either has stolen them or that they are bogus. This is as much a law .is the attraction of gravitation, and yet the number of those who do not know it is appalling. The fair average value of money in the places where these dupes live is 6, 7 or 8 per cent. They must be aware of that. Hence It is their business, when money is offered to them by strangers at 2 or 3 per cent., to do a little in* vestigating and see why it is that they are to got it so cheaply. They ought to go to some person with some experience and ask if it is possible for any one except a philanthropist to laijHjnaAjii.v on houses and lands for 2 percent, whentne commercial pries of money is three or four times as much, and whether it is likely that United States has aP3L§]Jgl\,i>?p/ir to loan money to on such liberal terms. It is not so surprising that people should have been taken in by "Fund W," for that was confessedly a purely speculative business. This latest swindle did not pretend to bo specula­ tive, but to be a plain money-lending concern. It is customary to teach in the public schools a number of things Which are good enough in their way, but not absolutely necessary. It might be well to throw out some of those ornamental studies and replace them by a little instruction regarding this great principle that things can­ not be had except at Sheriff sale for less than they are worth. Those who are tutored thoroughly therein will be insured against the . insidious at­ tacks of confidence rogues and sharp­ ers, who offer them gold watches for a dollar, and money at 2 per cent, in­ terest. The Good Old Times. Raflroads and wagon roads give easy and quick access to old-time fish­ ing waters, where in years gone by it was necessary to pack in over an ill. defined and arduous trail, or perhaps no trail at all. And reaching the journey's end, one finds comfortable hotel accommodations, where formerly not a board had been sawed nor a shingle split. But with all the im­ provement and progress there is want­ ing the solid fun of the old excursions; no raflroa-dc&r,however luxurious, can quite compensate for the charm of the wilderness tramp; and no hotel, however well conducted, can furnish fbrth the comfort of the lean-to with the oomp fire. This is an age of im­ provement and progress and develop­ ment, and the charm and delight of one woodland resort after another are being improved and developed into oblivion. The sportman-tourist na­ turally resents the building of a sum­ mer caravansery on the shore where season after season he has gunned for shore birds, or the building of a steam­ boat on a wilderness lake he has fondly called his own; but his resent­ ment is as unavailing as that of the Arran Islanders who lament the mul­ tiplication of light-houses and the substitution of iron for wood in ship­ building because the two agencies diminish the supply of wreckage on which they and their fathers before them have in part subsisted.--Forest and Stream.
