Show - . ' THE SALT LAKE TIMES. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1890 reports of the trials of thU instrument they wore eminently successful, giving results superior even to those obtained from the Whitehead. The motive power is compressed air, acting directly from a reservoir upon the propeller without any assistance or intervention from machin-ery. The propulsion is effected by twin screws working inversely and giving a velocity greater and more continuous, it is contended, than any obtained in other torpedoes. One remarkable feature of this invention is the faculty of auto-matic guidance, which enables it to avoid protective nets and shields, and to dive any distance before rising to give its blow.

Elbert, a Veteran Peaoh Grower, Tells About the Heal Cause of. the Failure.. PAUPEBS IHTEEEED CHEAPLY. Putting the World's Scoffed Under the Sod for the Small Consideration of 85 Cents Each, ' Henry A". Elbert, ft veteran peach grower of Delaware, says that the real cause of the peach failure is that in Delaware, as well as in most of the other peach growing states, the soil has abso-- i lutely exhausted itself for peach pro-duction. That is really the secret, and the reason why the peach crop, especially of Delaware, has been growing less and less in proportion to the amount of work expended upon it during the last ten years. Peach growers as a general thing in America have made considerable money, and have made it easily. The care of their trees, once they reach the bearing stages, costs but little, and the conservative old fellows sat down in their farm-house- s quietly and just let the price of the rich fruit drop into their laps. They starved the soil, and they are now reaping the consequences. They are beginning to find out that the soil of peach orchard requires fertilizers just as much as the wheat farm does, and until such aids to fruit growing have been properly used the peach crop can-- not be expected to be as generous a one . as it has been for several years past- .- New York Star. Fan per Hurled for Elghty-Ov- e Cents. The bids for city undertaking, which were opened in the health office, show a considerable anxiety on the part of the undertakers to seen re the contract. There were only two bidders, August Leffert and Henry Snyder, but the low figures which they quoted leave little room for other bids. August Leffert offered to furnish coffins and bury all paupers or other persons ordered to be buried by the city at $2.50 for children under 12 years of age and $3.50 for adults. Henry Snyder's bid was even lower. IT. tffa.u1 fsi tinier all nmiTuira In flip rit.v limits at the rate of seventy cents for children and eighty-fiv- e cents for adults.

Louisville Courier-Journal- . Rhode Island'! Veterans. If you meet Ladd, of Rhode Island, ask him how he turned the laugh on the group of distinguished people amid whom he sat in the presi-dential grand stand at the Grand Army display. Everybody who is on speaking terms with him knows that he ia as proud of bis little state as though it was as big as Texas, and the chaffing to which he was subjected while the thousands of. men in the departments from the great states were marching past was not calculated to make him particularly comfortable. "JJont iorgei your spygiaiweB wucu little Rhody's department is due," cau-tioned Governor Burleigh. "I say, Ladd, don't you want to bor-row a man to carry a flag for your boys?" shouted Governor Bulkeley over the heads of rows of people. "Is it possible that Rhode Island has department by itself?" provokingly queried Mrs. Alger. , . And so it went for a couple of hours. Finally little Rhody's department flag was descried turning into Huntington avenue. Then ' came the department commander proudly riding ahead of a staff as numerous as the largest Then came Reeves' splendid band, and ' then platoon after platoon and post after post of splendidly equipped veterans. Mr. Ladd was surprised himself at the dis-play made by bis state, and when after the division had passed he turned to scan the faces of his persecutors they were looking abstractedly at nothing in particular. They saw his smile out of the corners of their eyes, however; it was so broad. Boston Herald. A Modern Ananias. One of the hands on board the steamer Penobscot, of" the Bangor line, has gained a wide reputation as a story teller. It was recently that this famous raconteur favored a select audience with this reminiscence of his early days: "It was a beautiful afternoon in July," said he, "the sun was pouring down through the hay fields, and as we toiled with scythe and rake we felt tired and weary. "Coming suddenly upon a paten or strawberries, we sat down and feasted upon the luscious fruit, the single ber-ries being as large rouBd as your fist. While we sat enjoying this delicious re-past we suddenly saw a bear come out of the woods on the other side of the meadow and make for us. You can bet we ran for our lives. I being the fattest fellow could not keep up with the rest, and more than once the nose of the bear grazed my legs as I flew along. Reach-ing the river, about two miles from the field, we rushed out upon the ice. It was so slippery that the bear eould not keep up with us, and we made our escape." One of the fellow's hearers innocently remarked that he would have believed the story "if the critter hadn't lied so about the size of the strawberries." LewiBton Journal. ' , American Wheelmen's league. ' The League of American Wheelmen ' has experienced a remarkable growth, having increased tenfold since its organ-ization. Before 1891 it will probably reach a membership of 20,000. "Ad-vancement of wheeling" has always been . the motto of the league, and the good roads of the country owe their condition , to the efforts of this band of 'cyclists. In 1880 ninety riders assembled in New-port to form an organization for their protection and for highway improve-ment From this seed the league has sprung with mushroomlike growth, un-til its societies extend into all parts of wheeldom. The practical advantages of membership consist in the assistance of the whole body to secure bettor roads In neglected localities, legal assistance when road privileges are denied riders, and reduced rates at the league hotels, which are located in all important cities of the country. New York Telegram. Sparrow Slaughter. Tobe Long, township clerk, has paid out $121.50 to the boys this summer for cadavers of the English sparrow, and our foreign friends seem even more nu-merous than ever. The law authorizes him to pay a bounty of twenty cents per dozen for all these birds killed, and the price paid would indicate that the small boy had been on the warpath to the ex-tent of 7,290 Britishers. Tobe says that an English sparrow will docay inside of two hours after being killed, and that some of the lots brought to him have al-most made him throw up his position. Lima (O.) Gazette. English Walnut. There is no nut bearing tree which is capable of being made more profitable than the English walnut. The nut is always in large and profitable demand, and the tree is Ian unusually prolifio bearer. It is hardy and is readily grown, but seldom does at all well in fur north-ern Iwtitudes. In the vicinity of Phila-delphia we have seen a tree of this vari-ety that produced annually about forty or fifty bushels of fine, marketable nuts. In Virginia and states in similar latitude it should be made to pay handsomely. Its widespread habits of growth make it necessary to give it plenty of room, and we should say that forty feet each way, rather than less, should be accord-ed, the intervening space being utilized with ash trees. The wood could no doubt be used in many ways, and the reason it has not been is from the fact that there has never been enough of it to enter into any of the calculations of those who use valuable woods in manu-facture. Its greatest value as a tree consists in its nnts, which are second only to almonds in commercial value. A well sot grove of these trees would be a handsome sight. Philadelphia Ledger. A Ylolons Booster. Fiynk Werren, who lives in Shamo-kaw- a, Ore., had a little child almost killed by a rooster the other day. The rooster is of the Leghorn variety and very vicious, and never hesitates to at-tack any one that comes within its reach. The child, which is about a year and a half old, was out in the yard, when the rooster attacked her, knocking her down and inflicting with his spurs two deep gashes over the left temple and making an ugly wound over the right eyeball. Had the rooster struck her a little lower it would probably have ruined the eye-sight of the left eye. The child will re-cover. Chicago Times. It Means Kotblng. When England sends a cruiser or a fleet of them to Vancouver it means nothing, and when the United States sends a real able bodied man-of-w- to-ward Bearing sea it means nothing. The chief difference between diplomacy and lying is that the former is honorable and the latter disgraceful. Detroit Free A magnificent sword of the Fifteenth Press. i century is shortly to be placed in the Louvre museum in Paris. It is orna-mented with graceful designs from the hand of the great sword maker Hercules de Pesaro, who did the work for the Bar-gra- s, the Ganzagos and the house of Este, and is thought to have belonged to Francisco de Oonzaga, who commanded the Italian army crushed by Charles VIII in 1495. A doctor of Vienna has invented a fluid the use of which he claims will minimize the horrors of war. The fluid is to be placed in a shell, which in so constructed that it will burst in falling or striking any object offering but slight resistance. The fluid upon being re-leased so affecis persons inhaling its odor that they immediately become uncon-scious, and remain in that state half an The cranberry growers of Onset and hour or more. other towns on Cape Cod do not expect to get over half the usual crop. Insects and drought have made fearful inroads. The towns near Plymouth have not suf-fered so much, and in southwestern Massachusetts the harvest bids fair to be as good as usual. Posy rings, or those with a motto en-graved on them, have been made famous in history and poetry, for it vtw a ring of that kind which Essex sent to Queen Elizabeth by a deceitful woman who did not deliver it until the earl had died. A war veteran in Nebraska City, Neb. , whose application for a pension was re-jected because no trace of the bullet wound could be discovered, died last week, and physicians who made the autopsy found the bullet imbedded in his skull. His widow now intends to apply for a pension. ' Some statistician has just figured that the total number of people killed and in-jured on the railroads of the United States during the past year is almost ex-actly equal to the total loss of killed . and wounded Union and Confederate , forces at Gettysburg in the war of the rebellion. Dangerous Roman Candles. A fireworks company near New York made the fortunate discovery last week that an employe was filling Roman can-dles with both clay and powder. The addition of the clay, it is said, makes the exploding of the candle dangerous, being liable to cause the bullets to come ont of the end held in the hand. The man has been arrested, but denies that he has done as charged. It appears that thousands of dollars' worth of the candles have been tampered with. Some of them have been shipped to customers in various parts of the United States, but they have been re-quested to return them to the factory. Officers of the company are of the opin-ion that he did not put the clay into the candles of his own accord, but was prompted to do so by some enemy of the concern. Philadelphia Ledger. |
