Drills at Fort Hamilton to Prepare the the Men of Troop for Their Tour at Peelsskill. Troop C's camp, at Port Hamilton, was not a lonesome place by any means yesterday, for visitors came by the hundred, and they would have taken complete possession of the tents had not the guard been Increased to keep away the Inquisitive. Only friends of the cavalry men were allowed inside the picket line. The fair sex was easily In the majority, and Borne of them made the journey from the city on their wheels. During the afternoon Colonel Miller of Fort Hamilton, his wife and many of the.

other officers of the poBt and their wives visited the camp and were shown about by Officer of the Day Lieutenant Henry ClauB. The men arose at 5 o'clock, and fifteen min utes later "Boots and saddles" was sounded. Both the men and horses were put through a hard hour's drill on the field that is used by Captain Dillenbach's Light battery K. Them the men looked after their horses, after wnlon came breakfast, at 7:80. This was tne only.

hard work of the day, with the possible excep tion or trying to get enough to eat. Only state rations are issued, but they were found entirely insufficient for hunsry cavalrymen, and when the only bakery in the neighborhood was visited yesterday morning its stock was soon exhausted. A telephone was pressed into service, ana a supply of good things were Hur ried out from a Brooklyn house. This is only an initiation for the cavalrymen, to instruct them in guard and Btablft duty for their regular camping week at Peeks kill next month. First Lientenant Smith in structed the men In guard duty Saturday night.

This evening another platoon will ar ve to tako the olace tne present detail. and if they arrive in time they will be put through a drill before dark. They will up at 5 to morrow morning, and will put in three good hours' work. Those that have to will then leave for business, and to morrow night another platoon will arrive. In this manner each of the four platoons will Bpend two days at camp during the eight days tho tents will be up.

A striking feature of the first platoon. is that its four officers Captain Clayton, Lieutenants Smith and Claua and Surgeon Skene are all over 6 feet in height and built proportionately. The quartet makes an imposing appearance. AT ST. BARNABAS' CHURCH.

A choral litany and a nunrber of popular hymns and tunes were rendered very effect ively by the rector and the choir in St. Barna bas' church, Bushwi clt avenue, ait servic of song last evening. The rector, the Renr. Dr. Cartwrlght, delivered an eloquent ad dress on the compassion of Jesus as a lesson and an example, founded on the words ot tho gospel, St.

lark 111:1: "I have compassion on the multiude." Dr. Cartwrlght said im part: "The most striking feature in teh life anfl the ministry of our Lord was His tender sym pathy and love. By this power He was swayed In all His gracious words end kindly deeds. The life of Christ "was an example as well as a ministry of mercy. We are to find in spiration In every word and an Influence in every deed.

What our Lord did in measure, may and must do. There is the same work, there is an equal opportunity, there are motives and Impulses as strong and powerful. It is not, indeed, given to us to open the treasures of heaven and multiply the fruits of earth 'by a divine, miraculous skill as He did. But we can breathe sympathy, we can speak love, wo can perform works of mercy, and by so doing we shall not only follow the divine example and carry out the divine mission, hut we shall also alleviate human suffering and woe."

Scientists In New South "Wales are sreatlj) interested over an invention by J. Veraon Israel of Sydney, which may revolutionize deep sea diving. On the 10th of June th diving bell was tested in Sydney harbor. Captain Bell, the United States consul, who witnessed the test, says: "I arrived, by invitation, in company with a number of scientists, off Bradley's Head. We bad.

a number of bowlders on board to test tho diving belL. The machine was floating at the side, of schooner. It looked a good deal like a street roller. "Qn our arrival the three tons of steel were hoisted up by the tackle of tho schooner. The owners.

Dr. Barrlngton and J. Israel, then invited us to throw our bowlders overboard. This we did, and then examined the machine, which is not bell shaped, but constructed on a different plan entirely. It is a cylinder 7 feet 4 Inches in length, and of the same diameter.

It is built bf steel three eighths of an inch thick. Inside this is a second cylinder of similar strength, but of lesser diameter by ten Inches. Tho space between the Inner and outer ehells is used for filling with water to sink the machine, thirty two gallons bain sufficient, and for buoyancy when air displaces the water. Tho two men entered through a manhole on the top, and the cylinder was hermetically sealed. The order was then given to let go.

So well adjusted was the cylinder that Dr. Barrlngton and his companions sported about on tho waves for a while until' they wanted to sink, when they opened a valve and the water rushed in, filling the space around the inner cylinder, and down they went until a register card Indicated nearly twenty fathoms. We were all more or less frightened, and began pumping air into them at a furious' rate, when a voice from the depths of the ocean sounded in our ears. It came from the tele phonic attachment of the machine. "Too much air; do let up, you are creating such a curront that wo cau't light a match to have smoke." In fact, the owners can eat, sleep and smoke while enjoying the wonders of the deep at 1,000 fathoms below the surfaces if desired.

Inside the compartment there Is a driving gear for working the motive wheels of tho machino and the steering gear. For salvago work there are "grabbers," or pronged shovels, to be revolved to scoop up pearl shells and toss them Into a receiver, which in its turn has to discharge into the innor spaces of the cylinder, be finally handled by tho divers and packed in tho inner compartment. If tho air pump ceases to operato, the occupants of tho cylinder have a supply on hand in chambers to last them for an hour, and, should their schooner got adrift, they can float to tho surfaco by emptying their water ballast and ride the billows like a lifeboat. The diving machines to be taken to Torres Straits New Guinea coast, and will be employed in bringing long buried treasures from tho bed of the sea.

DE. McLEOD OH SILVEE, Liberalism That Would Place the Government Stamp of a Dollar on Fifty Cents Worth of Silver. Easthampton, L. July 20 The Rev. Dr.

Thomas McLeod of the Clinton avenue Congregational church of Brooklyn preached a remarkable sermon in the Presbyterian church at Easthampton yesterday morning. There were 500 persons in the congregation, among them several prominent divines, who are summering hero. Dr. McLeod's text was from John ll: "If there come any unto you and bring not these doctrines, receive him not into your house, neither bid him godspeed, for he that blddeth him godspeed is partaker of his evil deed." Dr. McLeod dwelt upon the fact that there was not enough doctrinal teaching to day and too much liberalism.

He said the hardest blc liberty had ever received in this country was from the so called liberals. The liberal theologian, he said, would teach us that it makes no difference what a man's creed is, or whether he has a creed or not, so long as his life is right. The preacher claimed that no man could be a truly righteous man without having the doctrines of Jesus Christ and he added that it was this broad, liberal spirit that led to such doctrines as that advanced by the Chicago convention, whose liberalism would place the government stamp of a dollar on 50 cents' worth of silver. The sermon was listened to with deep interest and was favorably commented upon after the close of the service. VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS.
