I was very fond of them, and oneday I climbed a tree and began selectingsome particularly juicy ones. I had hardlyeaten one when, on looking down. I sawmy father. There was a stern expressionon his face, and J knew what to expectwhen I was told to cut off a fair-size- d

limb and bring it. to him."This I did, slowly, to be sure, but final-

ly I reached the ground, to find father'shand on my collar. I had often tastedthe birch before, but an apple limb wasa novelty, and I was wondering how itwould feel when I heard my mother'svolet, just as a . blow was about to de-scend on my shoulders. Perhaps It wasdue to the uncertainty or severity of mypunishment that the Incident impressedme. or my mother's voice at a most crit-ical time, for when I heard It I knew thatfor a few seconds at least I could expecta respite. She interceded for me, and Iwas saved."

In the German War Ministry'. Hcrr VonHarbou. having been, as she says, so happywith her first German husband. Frau VonHottenburg. daughter of the late AmericanEmbassador Phelps. Is a happy mediumneither too German nor to American, butwithal a happy wife. Countess Pappen-hel- m

of Bavaria, who is also nn Americanglvl. told me last winter that she felt sures'ae could r.ot have been happier with anAmerican husband, and her life la Europeshe likes Immensely. Count Alex. Gn-dorf- f.

of the army. Is the second son Ofthe old Imperial chamberlain. Count Gers-dorf- f,

who married an American, a MIfsParsons, while his elder brother marrieda Miss Loomls. and though he, too. mar-ried for money, the union may bo quite ahappy one. In this Instance, as In so manyIn Europe, the sons are simply forced tolook out for a "gold fish." the social stand-ing of the family requiring large means,while thrlr estates are heavily encum-bered. And the American people beingquite productive of "gold lishes," thesehigh-bor- n but penniless young men look fortheir game In that direction not becausethey bear America any special grudsre.

There Is one elderly American lady InGermanj' who has been quite a match-maker for Impoverished but aristocraticyoung German army officers, delivering upto them a number of those self-sam- e "goldfishes." That lady is Princess AmeliaLynar. nee Parsons, of Columbus. O.. whoIs a widow since IS. Her husband was adistinguished Prussian diplomatist. Herson is now twenty, nnd entered the Ger-man army as officer the other daj. lie isthe picture of his handsome mother.

From all the Individual cases 1 know of.both hero in Germany and in Austria andthe Scandinavian north. I should say thatmarriages between natives of those coun-tries and American girls are much merelikely to be happy or. at least, not un-happythan with natives of Italy. Spain orFrance, whose estimate of women differsmuch more materially from the Americanestimate than does the German one. How-ever, high-spirite- d, self-will- ed Americangirls are not advised ever to marry even aGerman, or Austrian, or Dane, or Swede,as they are not nearly so liable to havetheir way as when thy marry an Amer-ican. Here the wife the well-bre- d, ortho-dox, average wife is expected to bow downand submit to her husband, figuratively atleast. She must not attempt to set up herways of thinking above hla, as he is sun.posed to do the thinking for her. Andthe law goes even further than customby law a German husband is allowed tochastise his wife "mildly, so as not topermanently injure her." Even the nnvcivil code now being considered in theReichstag has retained this provision.And divore is difficult to obtain here, andonly for j few reasons.

To conclude: I deem It Inadvisable, gen-erally speaking, for American girls tomarry Europeans, least of all Europeansof the Latin races. Of course, ns I pointedout, there are numerous exceptions.

PENNINGTON'S TORPEDO.

for the second place on its ticket. It Istrue he Is not native born, but he is moreht Is a citizen oy choice and he comesfrom the portion of a State whose peoplehave always letn loyal to the Union andthe Constitution and who furnished moresoldiers for tbe armies of the Union inproportion to their population than anyother territory in the United States. Ournominee was born In the great State ofPennsylvania: he was raised In the greatState of Wisconsin. When the President,In the of the Nation's danger,called the citizens to arms to preserve theUnion and perpetuate the Constitution,though a mere boy, he enlisted as a privatesoldPr and. after going through all theperils of the war. at the end he was hon-orably discharged from service. He thenbecame a citizen of the State of Tennesseeand has devoted his industry and abilitiesto developing the resources of the State.He has won the friendship, respect andconfidence of the people among whom helives. They have put him in various offi-cial positions. He has been alderman andMayor; member of Congress from his dis-trict and First Assistant Postmaster-gener- al

in the last Republican administration.In every position he has discharged hisduty honestly and faithfully and lo thesatisfaction of the people. After he hadthus established himself the people of Ten-nessee nominated him for Governor, andthe people at the November election of 104gave him a majority of .several hundredvotes over his opponent, as shown by thereturns made by the officers holding theelection. After the election a DemocraticLegislature enacted a law for the purposeof contesting It. It Is not too much to saythat the law was designed to deprive himof the office to which the people had electedhim and the same men who. as legislature,passed the lav, assumed under the law topass upon his right to the office. A pre-tended judicial inquiry was instituted. Asa matter of fact it was neither judicial norfair. The issues were false and the testi-mony was garbled. The decision changedthe 'face of the returns. Enough voteswers taken from those he had received togive his opponent a majority and to changehis election into defeat. The ground of thorejection of the votes was not that theyhad not been cast nor that the voterswere not legal voters, nor that the judgesof thf election had not been fully satisfiedof their right to vote by receiving theirvote. All of these facts were admitted: butthe decision was put on the grounds that,though the voters bad paid their poll tax,and.iKid receipts showing payment, as re-quired by law, such receipts had not beenproduced before the officers holding theelection, and that these officers for thatreason, had no right to. report their votes.Thus ;i man never elected Governor is nowholding office in the State of Tennessee.

"The people of Tennessee feel that agreat wrong has been done them and theywant an opportunity of expressing theirpublic condemnation of the act. They wantan opportunity of showing the confidencethey have in the citizen Who has thusbeen defrauded of the office to which theyelected him. They believe he is worthy ofany office within the gift of the Americanpeople. Representing them here, I nom-inate for Vice President of the UnitedStates, Henry- - Clay Evans."

Mr. Evans's nomination was seconded bya colored delegate, Smith, of Kentucky,whose effort was loudly cheered.

Robert M. LaFollette also sec-

onded Evans, rousing enthusiasm by hisprediction that the party would gain" Inthe South all it had lost in the West.

Vinglnla presented the name of GeneralJames A. Walker, the only Republicanmember of Congress from that State whoserved In the Confederate . army underStonewall Jackson, who was nominated byD. F. Ralley. of Virginia. A. B. White, ofWest Virginia, spoke for Hobart.

THE ROLL CALL.The roll call began ten minutes after 7

o'clock. The adherents of Mr. Evans werevery enthusiastic and loudly cheered everyvote announced for him. When Pennsyl-vania cast her sixty-fou- r votes for Hobarthis nomination was gained and delegatesbegan to leave. The ballot resulted:

Berlin Letter in San Francisco Argonaut.For some time I have noticed, by a peru-

sal of American papers, that the subjectof American girls .marrying foreigners isone of growing interest. Rightly so, Ithink. Not only from the point of viewthat, In the aggregate, . large sums ofmoney earned in America are lost to thecountry, although that seems to be thechief consideration for many writers, butalso because the annual loss of a numberof the most desirable and highly culturedAmerican women and their amalgamationwith foreign nationalities cannot be a, mat-ter of indifference to the nation at large.Pardon me, therefore, if I venture to addmy mite of Information and advice as to

'

this theme. . I'

I must preface, however, that my viewsand statements cannot by any means betaken as authoritative or conclusive.There are, it seems no reliable statisticson the matter (but I am Inclined to thinkthat the number of such marriages islarger than is generally imagined in Amer-ica, for In the. majority of cases they es-

cape attention over there, concerning per-sons not ot sufficient prominence to figurein the accounts of the dally press), andconditions and facts differ so much in indi-vidual' cases that it is hard to strike some-thing like a general balance. Since I have,however, enjoyed somewhat exceptional fa-

cilities in becoming acquainted with casesof tho afdre-mention- ed kind, I think I mayfairly claim that my opinion will be worthabout as much as that of another individ-ual observer. Let me first generalize andgroup a few observations.

The American girl or young widow as amarriageable person has come to be appre-ciated in Europe as. much, nay, more, onthe continent than in England. There areseveral reasons for this, one being that theaverage American girl Is handsomer thanthe average'. European girl; another beinjfthat she or her papa or guardlanls sup-posed to have,- - and often does have, moremoney than her European sister: and stillanother, though not so potent factor, be-ing that the American girl Its intellectuallymore gifted, brighter, a' more interestingcreature than Is her European sister on anaverage. The above three facts have justbegun to be generally known in those Eu-ropean circles coming here under consid-eration; hence it is probable that the mar-rying and giving in marriage of the Amer-ican girl to well connected young Euro-peans will increase, instead of decreasing,hereafter.

In most Instances-America- girls, whenmarrying Europeans, do so for two rea-sons, one being that they wish to spendtheir lives in highly cultured, more or lessaristocratic and exclusive society, and theother being that they, believe . the life ofthis society In Europe to be a more enjoy-able one than would be the case in Amer-ica and with an American husband, otherthings being equal. In this two-fol- d sup-position the American girl Is often quitewrong, rarely quite right.-- If she marries,for instance, into a family belonging tothe privileged classes, she is regarded tothe last in the light of an interloper. Andthis, no matter what she or her husband,or even the whole family, may do to thecontrary, caste spirit in Europe being toostrong and too insurmountable to be over-come, even by a very "smart" Americangirl. i

FOREIGN CONVENTIONALITIES.Again, where she escapes, by. her European

marriage, a number of peculiarlyAmerican annoyances,' fche exchanges themfor as many, or more, peculiarly Europeanones. The whole life of the upper; classeshere is. Just to mention one thing, so highlyartificial and so full of the minutest-car- e

to be taken at every step, that few Ameri:can-bor- ri women, even' after a long train-ing, grow accustomed to it or learn to ac-

commodate themselves thoroughly to it all.There are, of course, exceptions I person-ally know of some but the above is therule, even if the girl, on marrying, be s tillyoung and Impressionable. Again, Euro-peans of both sexes, but more especiallythe women, do not like the independent,unceremonious ways of the American wom-an, and they never forgive her for exercis-ing, more freedom of speech and mannerand motion than they themselves are, bythe custom of a thousand years, permittedto enjoy.

A recent Incident at one of the court ballsin Dresden comes to my mind to illustratethis. The young American girl in questionIs the daughter of wealthy and i distin-guished Baltlmoreans, and she, being verypretty besides , and highly gifted in mindas well, found no great difficulty in obtain-ing an invitation to the festivity that night(court rules and etiquette being oftensomewhat relaxed on the continent, nota-bly at the smaller courts; for the pleasureof receiving some charming little Amerl-calne- .)

Her costume that night was, ofcourse, above reproach. Of that she hadtaken good care, and at first she was muchadmired, and she had also an irreproach-able chaperon with her. But her manners

b-r- -r! Without intending to do so. with-out being aware of it. she transgressedthat evening nearly every paragraph in thecode of behavior, until she was. when suppe-

r-time arrived,; fairly tabooed and ostra-cized. Her final faux pas-s-he said, ratheraudibly, though in English, that the truf-fled pheasant on her plato was not as goodas an American canvas-bac- k duck, andsaid. this just when a royal prince, nephewof the King, conversed within her hearingbroke her neck, so to speak. At any rate,she was shunned by all the rest of theevening, and the King personally requestedthe court marshal to be a little more care-ful In the matter of invitations for thefuture.

All this was simply due to the fact thatthe girl was not used to such a highly ar-tificial atmosphere as obtains at courts,and probably never could get used to it,her very b'ood, her training, her mode ofthought being against It.

But imagine, for the moment, that afull-grow- n American girl of wealth and po-sition, and corresponding bringing up, wasmarried to a European of more or lessaristocratic family. It Is true that suchgirls often possess that flexibility andadaptability of mind necessary to conformto the new surroundings, to the novel wayof looking upon life and one's fellow-being- s.

If she doesladapt herself to thtsealtered ' circumstances she ceases, andmust cease, to be an American in all essen-tial respects. She must, above all, bowdown to that grand European fetish castespirit and observe In all minute- - detailsthose rules of dividing and subdividingclasses and species of mankind which herown forefathers, in 1771. successfully lev-eled in the young Republic. Nearly allAmerican girls, however, are unable socompletely to Europeanlze themselves, andhence their llfo Is an unbroken series ofcompromises between their consciences,their minds and the demands of their newhomes.

GENTLEMANLY HUSBANDS.It may be well to state, here, though,

that while it Is true that when a Euro-pean marries an American, it Is, In ninety-nin- e

cases out of a hundred, primarily forthe sake of.: a large, fat dowry, it U trueprobably In the same percentage that hetreats his American - wife well and indul-gently. Among the American wives I havemet In Europe married to natives I do notrecollect personally a single case wherethe husband was brutal or where the unionwas an out-and-o- ut unhappy one. On thecontrary, I know or have heard of quite anumbtr where there seemed to be happi-ness on both sides. An intimate friend of.mine here, for Instance, still cherishes thmemory of his young American wife witha devotion which is as steadfast as it isdeep, and that youns wife, while bhe lived,often declared her. union to te an Idealone. But she had become thoroughly Ger-manized within the firat eighteen monthsof her marriage. Another young AmericanI know of here, the wife of an officer inthe etat major, takes such a pride in herhusband's profession, and such an Interestin it; that she knows by name or looksnearly every officer in the German army.Countess Waldersee, nee Lee. Is Intenselyhappy In her German life and very proudof her lord. The other day an Americanyoung widow, nee Budd, married a major

SUBSTITUTES FOIl TOBACCO.

Some Queer Invention RecCBded lathe United States Patent OClee.

San Francisco Examiner. . .

Among the queerest inventions recordedat the Patent Office are ideas for tobaccosubstitutes. Apparently the whole vege-table kingdom has b?cn ransacked for ma-terial to take the place of the herb rdeotlanin the manufacture of cigars, plug forchewers and fuel for the pipe. There Ishardly a familiar h?rb whose leaves are notcalled into requisition. It Is no idle talathat the potato, tlie beet, the cabbage andthe turnip help out the commercial supplyof the weed. For the preparation of theseplants and the Imitative aoctorlng of themthere are numberless ingenious processes.

Many of the patented substitutes, how-ever, do not pretend to counterfeit tobacco.For example, one Inventor has secured ex-clusive rights in the idea of making cigarswith fillers of pine needles. The needlesare to be gathered when they are greenand "full of tarry matter." A wrapper ofmoist tobacco leaf is put around them, andthe clsur Ls guaranteed to burn readily.It is warranted to cure throat and lun-- ftrouble. Another patent is for cigars cfHunflower leaves, which are to be cut whenthe seed ripens. Tho use of a tobaccowrapper In this case Is allowed to personslong accustomed to that weed.

A woman has secured a 'patent on cigarsof eucalyptus leaves. She says, that they,"unlike tobacco, leave a clean and pleas-ant flavor In the mouth." Alo she claimpriority in the notion of employing themfor the pipe, for snuff, as tooth powder and.with suitable fats. In --the manufacture ofsoap ana candles. Another inventor pro-poses to use the leaves of Indian corn, pre-pared like tobacco, for chewing and smok-ing. The stalks of the corn are to beboiled In water to a syrup, to which Is tobe added quassia, or capsicum, or "otherlitter botanic product." The leaves havingbeen dried in the sun are to be dipped In ,this syrup before making them into cigarsand plug,

A thoughtful Individual has devised a.preparation that is guaranteed to destroythe appetite for tobacco in thirty days. Itis composed of gum retln. beeswax. whltwax. poplar bark, Virginia tmakeroot andcayenne pepper. Another substitute war-ranted to allay the craving is a mixtureginseng and tarred roio. All of these in-

Such a liquor is known in thetrade as a "sauce."

Mucilaginous substances In small quanti-ties are added to cigarette tobacco so thatthe particles may bold together ard notfall out of the paper wrapper. Some pipetobaccos ara heavily charted with per-fume by treating them with essential oilsof verbena, citrottelkv bvi gemot, cassia,rausk and catechu. It is not Jme thatcigarettes are commonly charged withopium and other Injurious drugs. How-ever. thy are flavored with essences ofvarious plants. Fuch as vanilla, btramonl-u- m.

coffee, valerian and tea. Occasionallya few leavts are mixed with the tobacco.Among the flavors most ud are the

the orange, geranium, sassafras,thyme, anise, mint and cinnamon. Honeyand map'.e sugar arc utilized for sweet-ening. A decoction of h.iy Is sometimesappiicd to emoklng tobacro.

TESLA'S EVERYDAY VIEWS.

What the Electrician Thinks AbontCommonplace Things.

New York Sun. . . ; .

One night, at about 11 o'clock, I foundMr. Tesla In the cafe, seated at his usualtable, looking tired and haggard. He greet-ed me with the kindly smile and stronggrasp of the hand that are natural to him,but I saw by the pallor of his face andthe dark eyes that something had gonewrong. . ...

"I am afraid. he said, "you won't findme a pleasant companion to-nig- ht. Thefact Is I was almost killed to-Ja- y.

"Yes," he continued, "I. got a shock ofabout three and a ,half million volts fromone of my machines.. . The spark Jumpedthree feet thrOughthe "air and struck mehere on the right shoulder. I tell you itmade me feel dizzy. If my assistant hadnot turned off current instantly it

(might have been the end of me. As itwas, I have to show for it a queer

, markon my. right breast, where the currentstruck in, and a burned heel In one of raysocks, where it left my body. Of course,the volume of current was exceedinglysmall, otherwise It must have been fatal.You know three and a half million voltsis no joke, however small the volume."

A great difficulty; and at the same timea delight, in talking with Tesla is the utterinability one feels to Understand what heis saying, or lift one's self to the plane onwhich he is thinking. What ordinary per-son could grapple with the idea of threeand a half million volts or the electric con-trivances necessary to produce it? I knewperfectly well that twenty thousand voltsis the potential considered absolutely fatalIn the current used for execution, and yethere was a man, perhaps the greatest elec-trician of his time, calmly describing hissensations the shock of a cur-rent more than 150 times as strong. It wasplainly hopeless, to attempt any under-standing of this'anomaly, so I asked aboutsomething easier." - '

"I should have 'thought the spark fromsuch a current would Jump further thanthree feet." I ventured.

"So it would if I had wanted it to. Ihave frequentlj had sparks from my high-tensi- on

machines Jump the width or lengthof my laboratory, say thirty or forty feet.Indeed, there Is no limit to their length,although-yo- can't pee them except forthe first yard or Ho, 'the Hash is no quick.It is just like lightning.' The fact is, therewould be no particular difficulty in imitat-ing lightning with sparks, say. a mile-- long,if any one chose to pay for the necessaryapnaratus. Yes, - bam quite sure

a spark a "mile-long- , and I don'tknow that it would, cost so much, either."

I asked Mr. Tesla if he had had manyaccidents with "electricity during all theyears he has been 'experimenting with it.' "No.'1 he said. 'T have had very few ac-cidents, I don't1 'suppose I average morethan one in a year, and no one has everbeen killed by one of my machines. 1 al-ways build my apparatus so that whateverhappens it cannot kill any one. The burn-ing of my laboratory two years ago wasthe most serious accident I ever had. Noone knows what I lost by that."

He shook his heart and -- passed his largehand across .WsQjv;. in, regretful. reminis-cence, t : --..i rt-t- ? - i"You see," he went on, "that Is one ofthe sad things In an inventor's life. Somany Ideas go chasing through his brainthat he can only seize-- a few of them aathey fly, and of these he can only find thetime and strength, to bring a few to per-fection. And it happens many times thatanother inventor who has conceived thesame ideas anticipates him in carrying outone of them. Ah 1 tell you. that makes afellow's heart ache. When my laboratorywas burned, there was destroyed with itapparatus I had. devised for liquifying airby a new method. a3 on the eve ofsuccess, and In the months . of delay thatensued a German scientist solved the prob-lem just as I was about to solve It. andleft me only the. memory of what I mighthave done. I was so blue and discouragedIn those days that I don't believe I couldhave borne up but for the regular electrictreatment which I administered to myself.You see. electricity puts- - Into the tired bodyjust what it most needs life force, nervoforce. It's a great doctor. 1 can tell you,perhaps the greatest of all doctors."

I asked Mr. Tesla if h often fell intothese periods of depression.

"Perhans not often, but now and then.Every man of artistic temperament hasreianses from the great enthusiasms that

j buoy him up and sweep him forward. Inthe main mv lire is very nappy, napyierthan anv life I can conceive of. r When Iwas a ntuJonrf'fcnew what it wns to sitat the gaming table forty-eig- ht hours atthe stretch. J thought that an intenseemotion, the fascinatlon of play, and I be-

lieve many people regard It as the strong-est emotion; but I can tell you that formany years all the allurements of thoIfame would have' seemed tame and insipidto me compared With the tremendous, over-mastering excitement of my life in thelaboratory. I do not think there Is Anythrill that can go through the humanheart like that'fe't by the Inventor as hesees some creaflofj of his brain unfoldingto miccer-s- . as he watches some crucial ex-periment prove that through months ofwaiting awP'hoplhg' he has been in theright. Such emotions make a man forgetfood, sleep friends, love, everything."

"Do you. believe In marriage. Mr. Tesla,for persons of artistic temperament?"

"For an artist, yes: for a musician, yes;for a writer, yes; but for an. inventor, no.The first three must gain Inspiration froma woman's .Influence and be led by theirlove to finer achievement, but an inventorhas so Intense a nature with so much in itof wild, passionate quality, thafln givinghimselt to a woman he might love hewould give everyJbJng, and so take every-thing from his cho.s?n field. I do not thinkyou can- - name many great Inventions thathave been made by married men." Hepaused a moment; and then added, with ashade of pathos in his tone: "It's a pity,too. for sometimes we feel so lonely."

The amount of work Mr. Tesla does In aday. does every day. is simply prodigious.It is literally true, that his life Is passedin continuous labor In the laboratory, withoccasional Intervals for food and sleep, andafter working all (Jay long from 8 o'clockIn the morning till R o'clock at nljrht, heoften has his dinner brought to the labora-tory and continues to work until 11 or 12.Twico In the last two years he has leento a theater. On very, very rare occasions,when he could not avoid It, he has heededsome social call and enjoyed it. too. as headmits, although the thought of going toa reception nll3 him with dismay in ad-vance.

"What, do you. think about sleep? Is itwise for, a man to deny himself and getalong with a few hours' sleep a day soas to do more work?''

Tesla shook his head. "That Is a greatmistake. 1 am convinced. A man has justso many hours to be awake, and the fewerof these he uses up each daj' the moredays it will take to use them up; that is,the longer ho will live. I believe that aman might live, two hundred years if hewould sleep most of the time. That is whynegroes often live to advanced old age. be-cause they sleep so much. Do you knowthat Gladstone sleeps seventeen hours ev-ery d:iy? That is why his faculties arestill unimpaired In spite of his great age.The proper way to economize life is tosleep every moment that Is not necessaryor desirable that you should be awake.Do 1 do this myself? No; but hero, as inmany other things, I am far from beinga model."

As a young man in hh native land ofMontenegro Tesla was famous for unusualbodily strength, overcoming all his com-rades with little effort in wrestling boutsand feats of prowess. Even now. debatethe neglect of his muscles, he is a man ofremarkable stature and physical force.

As the waiter was bringing jsome thingsthat had been ordered I remarked the flu-ency with which Mr. -- Tesla spoke French,and asked him how many languages heknf w. ...

"Not very many. he said: "six. or seven,or eight; but my father was a great lin-guist; he spoke eighteen languages. Be-sides that, he was a remarkable mathe-matician." .

The Amerlean Flying: Machine ManSow Working the rirltlsher.

Julian Ralph's London Letter In New YorkJournal.I have to-da- y had an Interview with Ed-

ward Joel Pennington, the scientific engin-eer from Racine, Wis., whose name hasbeen of-lat- e prominently before the publicin connection with the horseless carriageswhich are Just now creating somewhat ofa sensation. He is likely to come into evengreater notoriety by means of the aerialtorpedo, which he is on the eve of perfect-ing. This is an invention which he be-

lieves will altogether revolutionize the artof war.

Mr. Pennington Is at the Hotel Metro-pol- e,

where he has a suit of apartmentsgiven up entirely to the work he has onhand. The sitting rooms are occupied bya staff of draughtsmen, who are engagedIn making drawings and tracings, and inthe ante-roo- m are models of the machinerywhich will be brought into requisition," andin the bedroom Mr. Pennington receiveshis guests.

"I have," he said, "been working out thisidea for a great many years. I should likeyou to understand that it is neither a fly-

ing machine nor a balloon It is simply anaerial torpedo, and will do in tho atmos-phere what the Whitehead torpedo will doin the water. "It carries no passengersand" no freight except the explosives withWhich it is charged. .

"An ordinary man-of-w- ar could carryseveral hundred of these torpedoes, andfrom a distance of forty or fifty miles theycould let loose sufficient to destroy thewhole city of New York in a few hours.The principle of the thing is this: Eachvessel carries a certain quantity of dyna-mite which it automatically dischargesover the city or fortress which we are at-

tacking. This may be twenty or forty oreven a hundred .miles distant, but at pres-ent I propose to fix the limit at forty miles.Of course, the rate at which the torpedoeswould travel Is a matter of the regulationof tho machinery, but I suggest that thepace should not exceed twelve miles nnhour. You would then be able to send offyour vessel before dusk, and it would ar-rive at its destination in the dark.

"The machine may.be described as fish-shape- d.

The buoyancy chamber is inflatedwith hydrogen gas, and then the vessel isin exactly the same condition In relationto the atmosphere as is a llsh in relationto the water It will rise or fall, go for-ward or remain stationary according as thepropellers, which take the place of thetins, are worked. For the forward motionthe propeller Is at the tall, and for up-ward or downward motion the propellersare at the side. 15oth of these are workedautomatically, the one by the compass andthe other bv the barometer. Tho deflectionof the needle to the right or left cuts orstarts the current, driving the propeller atthe rear, and the rise or fall of the mer-cury In the barometer has the same effectupon the side propellers, so that the ma-

chine conforms automatically to the curva-ture of the earth.

"I do not recommend that these ma-

chines should ;be run in the tftth of a galeof wind.: There is no necessity for It. be-cause any provernment possessed of the!evessels could choose Its own time for mak-ing the attack, and could afford to wait afavorable opportunity. A slight breoze willnot affect the course of the vessel."

Asked whether he had made any experi-ments with the machine. Mr. Penningtonstated that he had made a Rreat many inthe United States. "Some five or six yearsairo." he said, "there was much talk aboutmy invention. At that time I had not com-pleted the aerial torpedo. I was payingmore nttentlon then to vessels for carry-ing malls; The aerial torpedo Is a muchsimpler matter.

"As to tho size of the torpedoes, thatwould, of course, depend upon the weightthey would have to carry. The quantity ofhydrogen gas gives us the carrying ca-

pacity, and, ns the atmosphere Is not lim-ited, there need be no restriction to thesize of the machine. Of course, when theyare deflated the torpedoes can be stowedin very small compass. The expense ofconstruction is not great. A machine tocarry a ton of dynamite, outside the costof the explosive, constructed In largo quan-tities, would not cost more than 2.0'M or

3,000. That, 1 should say. Is an outsidefigure.

"I do not know much about war thatis not my trado but I confess I rannotconceive how It would be possible to com-bat several hundred of these machines di-

rected againpt a particular city in the deadof night. The xjrcn.se of maintaining astanding army for a week would buy agreat many aerial torpedoes. A ton of dy-namite is not at all an excessive quantityfor one of the torpvders to carry. nr.d aton of dynamite dropped into a city woulddo an immense amount of damage for aconsiderable distance around."

He has not yet ofTercd bis machine toany government, but expects soon to opennegotiations.
