CHESS ON THE BRAIN.
'A Noted Player Whp at Times Fanfoies
Himself 3 Bishop or Knight.
A chess champion, a German gentle-
man whose name is well known to all
players and most nonplayers of that sci-
entific game, recently told .the writer
that the intense mental activity which
it was necessary to display while en-
gaged in a combat on the board often
led him to unconsciously do ridiculous
' things when the game was over.
“For instance,” he said, “it is not
an uncommon thing for me, when walk-
ing home in the evening after several
games of chess at my club, to imagine
that I am one of the pieces on the board.
Quite unconsciously, and probably while
thinking about something? else, I will
take great care to plant my feet firmly
in the center of the fiagstones and not
step upon the lines that divide them.
Again, the idea that I am a knight will
seize me, and those who walk behind
me are convulsed with laughter to see
me take a step forward, and one to one
side, which is not, to say the least of it,
a dignified method of progress.
“Sometimes I am a. bishop and move
in uslanting direction, till forcible con- .
cussion with'a wall brings me to my
senses.
“It is very foolish, I know, but I can-
not help it. I suppose it is that the
game, its chances and possibilities are
so continually running in my mind that
chess to me is almost becoming a second
nature.”
The elder Robert-s once, years ago,
told an interviewer- that so completely
was his mind subjugated by billiards
that he would often lie in bed and won-
der if he could make a carom off the
mautclpieco on to the washstand or‘
“pot” the gas globe out of the window
with the bcdpost.—London Answers.

' MR. CARROLL’S GREAT IDEA. "”
n Puts a Man at His Best When He Is
Held Up by a Robber:
Taylor Carroll is engaged in devising
a formidable system of defense for lone
pedestrians when they wander in dan-
gerous places where police protection is
ineffective and the risk of being “held
up” is ever present. His plan is to con-
vert the erect human body into a minia-
ture revolving turret, armed at four
points and capable of dealing death in
front, rear or flank simultaneously or
of sending four successive discharges
in the same direction. - .
Mr. Carroll’s design is still in its ru-
dimentary stage, with numberless minor
details to be elaborated, but his central
idea is well developed. He says he has
not yet prepared diagrams or experi-
mental apparatus, but has merely out-
lined it mentally. -
“I Would have a small storage bat~
tery worn in a belt,” he said, “with
small copper wires running from it up
through the sleeves and connected with .
each hand on the great or middle finger
with a ‘copper ring the thumb can reach
in the palm of the hand. When the
thumb touched the ring, an electrical
current would discharge fou batteries
loaded with ball behind audvin front.
This discharge could take place when
the hands were being held under the
threat of an armed robber.
“The ring should be placed beyond
the reach of the thumb except in cases
of emergency, so the thumb will never
discharge the battery accidentally. ”
Mr. Carroll is not a practical electri-
cian or mechanic, being an actor by
profession. He has not figured up the
weight of the storage battery to be car—
ried on the belt, nor is he adverse to
considering the advisability of substi-
tuting a dry primary cell.
In his zeal for the application of sci-
entific methods to the protection of the
citizen the inventor has apparently left
out of sight everything but the tactical
advantage of the lonely pedestrian at-
tacked in front by the bold marauder or
clasped from behind by the lurking gar-
roter. lTwhus he has not yet figured out
how a slim young man is to avoid as-‘
suming Falstaifian dimensions when he
braces storage batteries and arsenals
around his waist.
Nor does he forecast the possibly trag-
ical consequences that might some day
result from the clasp of a loving hand
upon the thumb and palm that carried
the potential copper appurtenances he
describes, maki‘ng'finadvertent electrical
contact and producing a catastrophe
when only endearment was intended.—

GENERAL GRANTIS FUNERAL.
The Procession In New York Was Eight
Miles In Length.
The procession, eight miles long,
wended up Broadway between lines of
old soldiers—flags veiled, drums muffled
and arms reversed. The Grant family,
except Mrs. Grant, who was unable to
be present, followed in four carriages,
succeeded by the general’s old staff, his
cabinet officers and detachments from
Grand Army posts. Members of the
Aztec club, survivors of the Mexican
war, formed a group. President Cleve-
land rode with Secretary Bayard, and
they. were followed by the vice president
and the cabinet, the supreme court jus-
tices, United States senators and a com-
mittee of the house." Governor Bill and
his suit and a committee of the state
legislature were of the cortege; also gen-
tlemen who had occupied diplomatic and
consular offices under Grant while pres-
ident. Besides all these were official
guests filling 150 carriages.
Over the ashes of the man who had
said “Let us have peace” all bitter
memories were forgotten. Speaker Car-
lisle and ex-Speaker Randallrode with
Congressmen Hiscock and Reed, Senator
Morrill with Senator Cockrell, Sherman
with Ransom, Ingalls with Harris.
Famous Confederates, distinguishable
by their gray silk sashes, fraternized
with Federal Chieftains. Generals Joe
Johnston and Buckner oficiated with
Sherman, Sheridan and Logan among
the pallbearers. Three other gallant
southerners, Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh
Lee and Gordon, were also present at
the funeral—President E. Benjamin
Andrews in Scribner’s.
uses OF‘ OZONE.
Valuable For Artificially Aging Liquor or
Seasoning Wood. ,
Ozone is now practically applied for
several purposes. Experiments with it
have shown that it will artificially age
brandy, whisky, sweet and hard wines
and liquors. Ozone will also improve
coffee by rendering harmless oily beans.
The aroma of tobacco is also considera-
bly improved by the application of
‘ 020110. The latest applicdtion of it is for
rapid seasoning of wood for sounding
boards of musical instruments, which
for the purpose is left in a hermetically
closed, heated room from 12 to 24
hours, ozonified air being freely intro-
duced into the room. It seems that this
process will harden the.wood, increase
its resistance against the influence of
temperature and moisture and give it
considerably more acoustic or resound-
ing quality.
Another recent application of ozonified
air is that of the thickening of linseed
oil for the manufacture of linoleum,
which by the old process took several
months. By the liberal use of ozone
linseed oil is now thickened to the re-
quired consistency within a \few days.
Most remarkable, however, is the ad-
vantage of employing ozone for bleach-
ing linen, since the time employed is
less than one-third of the bleaching proc-
ess by sunlight, not considering that
this latter is dependent both upon the
season and the weather. The ozone proc-
ess of bleaching renders the work abso-
lutely independent of outside influences.
Ozone has also been found very valua-
ble in chemicaland technical processes,
particularly in the production of pure
derivatives of starch, for instance, solu-
ble starch, dextrin, crystal gum, etc.
Here the ozone is instrumental in tak
ing away all the matter which causes
the dark color, bad odor and taste.—

WARSHIPS’ WEAK srors.
Methods of Attack Which Are
Most Effective.
A United States omcer' Gives Some Intera‘
estlng Information About the Great
Ironclads—Oflensive and De-
fensive Powers. -
A war ship is vulnerable in two chief
respects—in ,her motive power and in
her personnel. It is imaginable that one
might be wholly neutralized without
materially injuring the other. The ques—
tion, not only of to-day, but of: a cen-
tury’s standing, is, which is it better to
attack in order to subdue the ship? In
olden days the British habitually at-
tacked the personnel, t-he French the
motive power, and each was consistent;
for the aim of the former was to insure
decisive results, and that of the latter
to avoid them. Each has had its advo-
films, and consequently there is some-
ing to be said on each side; but upon
the whole it is, I think, fair to say that
experience replies, attack the men.
And the reason is much the same as a‘
hundred years agonnot only is it impos-
sible to have the men as well protected
as the motive power, but the destruc-
tion of the men who handle the offen-.
sive powers of the ship makes the mo-
tive power practically useless.
Now the weight which a ship of a .
given size'can carry is limited, and must
be distributed among several objects, of
which gun power is one, and the ques-
tion has to be met, how shall ibis gun
power be subdivided among the differ-
ent classes of gun? If your aim is the
motive power you want heavy guns; for
the motive power—-the engines and
boilers—are given the utmost possible
protection, by position, by the thickest
armor, by the coal stowage, the protec-
tive deck, and so on, to pierce- which
great forcc is required. But. heavy guns
means few guns, and few guns means
few shots, and fewer shots mean
fewer hits; while of those ihat bit, if
they strike the protective system of the
engines, etc, fewer still penetrate, a.
truth long foreseen, yet very generally
dropped out of sight, and which the
Yalu battle has singularly confirmed.
On the other hand, the weight of
armor required to protect the water
line adequately makes it impossible to
extend by similar means adequate pro-
tection to the battery spaces, except
only those occupied by the heavy guns,
and even where these are adequately
protected—impervious, that is, to the
missiles from those lighter guns, tech—
nically called “rapid fire”—thcre can
be no question that their accuracy of
fire is singularly embarrassed. For that
reason it is sought to aim and fire them
from an interior position—the conning '
tower, for instance—a» plan of which it
is enough here to say that, except for
into disuse. -
Considering the vast importance of
securing the best practice from the
heavy guns—for I am not at all arguing
against them, only against their exces-
sive number—it becomes necessary to
beat down and keep down all the other '
fire of the enemy. If success in this is
attained, a distinct and immense advan-
tage is gained for the heavy guns over
those of the enemy; for, if the rapid
fire guns which have established their
ascendancy cannot penetrate the tur-
rets, they can greatly annoy the men in
them, and may enter the gun port-s.
This superiority, if maintained, must
result in victory. It has long seemed to
me that the mutual relations of the
heavy and rapid fire guns of the ship.
have a strong analogy to a field bat-
tery of artillery and its infantry sup-
ports, the latter at once protect and se—
cure the efficient service of the former.
However that may be, the rapid fire gun
of modern caliber has just now‘fairly
established its position as to the great;
est offensive power in naval warfare.—

Good Things Are They, Spoiled by Greek
Roasters.
It has been said of the North Ameri-
can Indian that he was never known to
smile, let alone to indulge in a good
Caucasian laugh. It is not to be for-
gotten, though, that Mr. Cooper, in his
“Last of the Mohicans,” narrates the
contrary. HoWever that may be, there
is every reason to believe that the mod-
ern Greek, as he appears in New York,
is :a. laughterless chap, conceived in
soberness and born to mourn. This is
the present thought of the man who
has paid any degree of attention to the
chestnut venders 'of the street. The
term of national designation is used
advisedly, for the reason that the major
part of the swarthy dealers in the tasty
nut are from the land of Homer. An
occasional Indian has wandered into
the trade, thanks to the enterprise of
some hustling padrone on the lookout
for opportunities to fill long-felt public
wants, be it in chestnuts, fruits or shoe-
strings.
Just at this season of the year, how-
ever, between frost and snow time, the
chestnut has the swing. The apparatus
which the vender carries around on his
shoulder is about as useless a piece of
furniture, from a utilitarian stand-
point, as was ever put together with
hammer and nails. It consistsof a-
four—legged thing of uncertain tenure.
Every surface indication goes to show
that some jackrof-all-trades started in
with the firm determination to make a
"sawbuck, changed his mind in the mid-
dle of the plan and branched ofli toward
a kitchen table, and finally wound up
on a. compromise, producing something
that is not strong enough for a. feed
trough for horses, and might be made
use of in anything under the sun ex-
cept for the purposes of a. complete
chestnut roaster. Its spider legs are
braced up in tottering fashion, lending
wabbly support, like the legs of age
bending toward the yawning grave.
