Prof. Louis Gathman, the scientist, has perfected a torpedo which, he1 says, will revolutionize moddrn war-- , fare and do about everything but climb, a tree. His torpedo, in external appearance, greatly resembles those in use by the nations today, but the Internal arrangements are radically different. Gun cotton or dynamite may be used in the explosion chamber at the forward end, and a slight pressure upon a pin projecting from the point of the torpedo makes the discharge. The rear end Is filled (with a chemical, the nature of which P?of. Gathman will not divulge, which will propel the projectile through the water as & skyrocket through ,the ajir. This torpede has been found available at a distance of two miles, and vhll travel in an absolute straight lin unless diverted by currents, while those in use today SPEECKLESTROUBLES THE SUGAR KING IS AT WAR WITH HIS SONS. lie Gave Adolph and Rudolph 600,000 and All Act Has That Caused Apiece Romance of a Millionthe Trouble aire's Life. (New York Letter.) HERE is an unique war going on in the of home Claus th sugar Spreckles, king of this continent. The old man, who landed in New York more than half a century ago with wooden shoes on his feet and $3 in his pocket and conquered untold difficulties in building up. the immense fortune that he is now master of, has at last met his match in his two sons, and they are giving him no mercy. The two sons are Adolph and Rudolph Spreckles. There is another son, John D., who is generally spoken of as the good son. He stands by hi3 father through thick and thin? and being gifted with strong commercial intelligence is a valuable aid to the old man. For it is a financial war that is disturbing the peace of the family, and just now the two sons are on top and have so entrenched themselves in their position that the father with all his millions is unable to make them feel the smart of his displeasure. The trouble dates back to Jan. 2, 1894, J are only available up to forty or fifty fathoms. When the propelling power is exhausted water Is admitted, and the torpedo sinks to the pottom out of jthe way of friendly shipping. Prof. Gathman has a special torpedo boat for use with ps projectiles, a model of which is in! his studio. It Is cigar shaped, with two oval turrets on top, the lower and lalrger one contain-tainin- g the cabins ana pilot house. Sand the upper one serving merely to protect the smoke stacks and air tubes. Projecting from the jtop of this turret and in front of the tupes for ventilation is a smaller tube containing a tele-- , scope and prism, which operates like a camera obscura, and throws on a screen above the helmsman whatever is taking place in front of the boat By an ingenious arrangement connected with the telescope, torpedoes can be accurately directed toward any point. This boat will be 120 feet long, 15 feet beam and will contain engines of 1,800 horse power.

CLAUS SPRECKLES. when the two boys purchased from the old man of the stock in the Hawaiian Commercial Company. Something over a million was the price fixed, and a certain sum was paid down on the spot, leaving $700,000 to be paid In two years. Some time prior to the purchase old Claus gave $600,000 to each of the boys. How he regrets it, for they use it as ammunition against the coffers of Spreckles senior. The old gentleman not long ago said that Adolph and Rudolph thought that he ought to have given them $2,000,000 apiece, instead of $600,000, but for the sake of harmony he sold them the interest in his Hawaiian company. This did not have the desired effect, for shortly after the transfer the two boys packed up their trunks and quit the family home. Since then the people of San Francisco have been mightily interested in the war. Although now ap old man in years, Claus is as active as ever, and a stiff fighter. It was generally supposed that he would make short work of the two boys, but after two years they are still bolding their own. More than that, after a carefully prepared plan on the part of the old man to bring them to terms, they beat him at his own game, and row he doesnt know where to begin at them again. The plan was this: The last payment of $350,000 was due on Jan. 2 last, and were when Claus. heard that hard up for ready cash, he saw all the money lenders in San Franetco and arranged with them not to maxe any loan to the hoys. Then he waited for his .Victory. On Jan. 2 he sent a messenger to the boys for the $350,000, expecting as an answer a plea for compromise. Then he thought he could make his own terms and resume his former position as undisputed boss of the family. But the messenger returned with a certified three-quarte- rs It re- - if t03 s: THE WAVE MOTOR LOOKING TOWARD THE SEA. si -- :3, jf t 03 to- : , re-Ean- - ce y. j , fly-whe- el, f 'to 13 - 0 carefully and correctly figured - I know just how much force is Possessed by the waves in water of I have calculated the depth. offered by the weight of the and they have been construct-accordinglWe will have sufficient jPcq to turn that at the VeTy least, twenty-fiv- e times a minute. machinist can estimate what that accomplish, for it will go on for-K- r. cu- 1 The immediate use we will put this Qtor to will be in supplying power to Cruz electric car lines, and miuishlng light and fuel.

He dug a canal fourteen feet wide and three feet deep, built aque-dut- s, blasted thirty tunnels through solid rock and got water to his desert at a cost of something like $500,000. He founded a town, calling it Spreckles-vill- e. He , macadamized the streets thereof, planted shade trees, built a church and established a club for the entertainment of his army of employes. He extended his main canal until it penetrated every part of his barren estate. He caused five immense reservoirs to be constructed high up in the mountains so that he could have a perpetual water supply. Meanwhile the cane he had planted had been growing, and a mill that soon produced 100 tons of sugar per day was being built under his personal supervision. Spreckles became the bosom friend of the old king, Kalakaua, and the latter made him a knight commander in the kings order. He loaned the king big sums at fat interest and lorded it over the court officials with a high hand. He was diplomatic, too, and made the portly queen numerous presents of American finery, and in a short time became the most powerful white man on the islands. When the eastern sugar magnates tried to down him they met a tough customer. He was not content to stand on the defensive, but at once assumed the aggressive, and coming east established a big refinery in Philadelphia and soon got agood share of the business in the east. He has large beet plantations in Southern California and a big refinery to convert the product into sugar. , ; H. B. KOOSER ADOLPH SPRECKLES. fidence was great and he took the plunge.

Small wonder then that the two sons should allow nothing, even family to stand in the way of their financial progress. The old gentlemans thirst for lucre made a great number of men groan but it looks like a hack-handswipe on the part of Dame Fortune to use his own sons for the purpose of retaliation. It is interesting at this period to follow the fortune building of Claus Spreckles. As a newly arrived immigrant In New York he at once proceeded to hunt employment. He was unable to speak the English language, and being a youth of no education worth mentioning, was not at all particular as 0 the nature of the work, so long as it was work and brought in the money he . was after. But he possessed a commercial spirit, and an inclination to barter, and it was cot long before he had a comer grocery, wore a white apron and with limping speech was booming the quality and quantity of his stock in trade.. But business dragged and collections were somewhat difficult. There was a livelihood in the grocery, but Claus wanted more. He bought a grocery at Louisville, but took up his march again after the American dollar and brought up at New Orleans. When he heard that gold had been discovered In California he started straightway for the Pacific coast. Other men were taking claims, getting shot and cut all to pieces, and accumulating more or less gold dust meanwhile, but Claus was not of a speculative mind at that particular period of his life. American dash and enterprise had not then made an impression on his German thrift and caution. Therefore, while adventurous spirits were out in the mountains fighting and digging like wildcats, Claus was content to resume hi3 white apron and corner grocery, which he did in San Francisco. Money was plentiful and profits very large. Claus saw his bank account grow day by day. He sent to Germany for his brothers. and they came in the next ship. Then Spreckles and his brothers bought an interest in a brewery. Their bank account grew larger than ever, and when Claus was offered something like $75,000 for his interest in the brewery he accepted the money and invested it in a sugar refinery. The finery was doing a large and profitable business. Claus thought the matter over and concluded the refinery should be his. He set about to get It. The stockholders objected to his business methods, whereupon he bought them out. In the course of time Spreckles got the refinery, roof and all. But the genius of Spreckles did not display itself on a grand scale until he was well launched Into the sugar business on his own account. Then he began to think that the Sandwich Islands offered a fine field for the growing of sugai. He took a sail across the Pacific to investigate, but he was quite dismayed at finding that every foot of the land must be irrigated.
