that the water tube system properly desigred furnishes s boil er capacity for capacity of about one fourth the weigh of the ordinary boiler thus the marine boiler weighs about seven ty pounds per square foot ofheating surface the water- tube boiler may be made at from fourteen to seventeen pounds the economy in weight will leave the ship drawing less water a further economy is in the fact that tbe metal in the beating surface in the water tube boiler is from one half to one- fifth of thickness of the heating surface of the ordinary boiler ten although the metal is thinner the pressure of the stean may be higher bscause the tubes are small in diameter and a very much larger heating surface is obtained for eaoh equare foot of grate surface in short to avoid technicalities it is asserted that a ship could be designed on the lines of the city of paris which would develop onethird more power oaetbird moro power would not make her a fourday ship but it would increase her speed perhaps two knots an hour it would bring the record well below five days and a half at least and at the same time deoreaso the a ohoioe bit of worldly wisdom a countryman on a staton island ferry boat was talking with a aomowhat wizened np old lady who was evidently his mother and the latter was heard to say to him wall now sim i dont think you treated luoindy just right in the matter she felt awful bad about it wall the son responded moditatlvely and with an amonnt of worldly wisdom for which ono was not at all prepared from suoh a source im kind o sorry but then gala will stand a bight nore from fellers than fellers will from gals and the wrinkled old woman sighod and was silent as if sho felt the impossibility of ontroverting so obvious a proposition and remembered ner own youth and tho things that had happened to her then rand reputation eight new liverpool liners have been bnilt and put in commission to break the reoord and all but ono the a urania proved wonderful ships of the rest the oregon tho america tho umbria und tho etrutia were built without any radical departure from tho type of which the alaska had been the queen in her day they were bio sharp snirs with bigger and stouter boilers and bigger and more powerful engines than the alaska had they all had a single propeller at the stern to drive them they were all good tix day boats thoy were all elegantly furnished and as eaoh one came oue and made a swift passage the smiling agent charged and easily obtained 500 for a crip in che choicest of the state rooms in the ecrnria with a record that lacked less than two hours of tbe fiveday limit it became apparent that the utmost speed attainable from a single screw had been roached no practical packet ship could do better with one screw because tc would not be possible to load a single screw with encngh more power to inorease her spied in the city of new york a rdlcal departure was made by using twin screws the city of new york has not yet beat the eturia but her sister bhip the city of ptris has dono so beyond tho possibility of cavil she haa crossed the atlantic at twenty knots an hour from port to port it has taken ten years of labor in designing ships to lower the record for 2 800knots by twenty- six hours it was not wholly due to t iu screws thas the record was brought bn six days there have been improvements iu engines as well these improvements consist in triple ixpansion instead of double in the expand ing of tho steam twice instead of once engunesof vastly gbeater power without the enormous increase in size which greater power on the old plan would have demanded were obtained the boiler in the fire rooms were increased in sizs and thickness of shell toinoreose the production of steam and withstand an increased pros sure engineers of middle age remember when the steam pressure inrnaiine boilers ran from ten to fifteen pounds to the square inch now tho pressure may be set down at 160 pounds the force exerted on tho propellers has run up from 6000 horse power to over 20000 the ships have in creased somewhat in size and have been somewhat improved in model but the increase in speed baa come from euoh an adaptation of boilers engines ar 1 screw propellers as will enable the new ship to kick away the water about four times as hard as the old one did but as has happened once before in ths history of the lvorpool trade the ships have reached tbe limit of siza and tbey once more oiock full of maohinery it happened to when side wheels were used instead of rcrewn and whon single instead of com- pmnd engines were used it is not possible to put more boilers or more engines into a ship like the city of paris than she now has no more coal bunkers can bo got into her nor can more propellors be added astern the problem of oettiko more speed is a difficult one it amounts to one of get ting moro power without consuming more coal or patting in more boilers it is a question of economy more power will whirl uie t orows faster and so drive tho ship faster the screws on the city of paris turn over about eighty times a minute those on some torpedo boats 200 or 300 times if a ship of the size of the city of paris could turn hor torowa 200 times a minute she would show an inoreased speed over the present queen by a wonderful difference of the naval architects whom a reporter consulted mr william cowlea expressed tho tin meat of all most ooncisely when he kid the next radical step in improving tho speed of the transatlantic steamers will be taken in the boiler room we have bean working all around tho boilor room our engines are twenty fire years ahead of our boilers wo must get more power wo cannot improve the models it is the opinion of mr cowles that to got any further increase of power in the liver pool pickets the watertubo boiler will have to take the place of tho prosont style tho boilers of tho present ships send their hot products of combustion from tho furnaco through tubes that aro surrounded by water in tho wutertubo boiler tho water is con tained inside of the tabes and tho hot gases around them the idea is as old as that of twin screws but it has novor been adopt ed partly because engineers weroconsorvatito auc partly because there wereseriousdef cots in tho rfutur tnbeboilers offered hy engineers who were not conservative pur instance thore was the difficulty of cleaning out the water tubes in can- hey got scaled tip and tbe difficulty of taking oat defective tabes when defects were developed the value of the system has been appmac for years but while some of these bailors would a praotioal test little willie to his sisters beau you cant guess what ive got in my pocket mr blinker j mr blinker no i cannot guess what iitwuuel willie its bears mamma said yoa dldt know beans but i thought id try you make steam furiously for a while they were not durable bat within a year or so it has become possible to get watertube boilers that were durable and easily accessible for repairs the tubes can be removed separately for repairs and there is no longer any danger from sedi ment or scale this sort of boilers has boen adopted in harbor craft with success the toore is always the possibility cf some thing new coming np or at least the now development of some old principle in steam ship transportation but nothing radically new like the placing of srew propellers in the bow as well as tbe stern will be adopt ed for the atlantic packets until such now system has been well tried elsewhere a liverpool liner oosts a million or more and no such sum as that will be invested in an ixperiment propellers in the bows are working with great economy in a few short distance ferries but it will be a long time before there will be an atlantic ferryboat with a propeller so looated that the bow propeller will come twentyfive yetrs from cow however is believed by many engin eers because the wheel so located is un questionably much moro ffioient than to the stern of the possibility of propelling a ship by some other method than the screw nothing need be said because while a good many inventors are at work on the problem they are accomplishing nothing

study of amateur photography assorts that its chief interest to him lies in the unconscious revel- atton of oharaotcr in a photographed face if a man have any coble or mean trait latent in his nature unknown to the world it comes out in his photograph hawthorne declared that dominant family traits and likenesses were always revealed in these sun drawn piotnres even though they might not ba visible

make it a stranger to us some look or mark in our faces betrays to a keen observer that we were once tamiliar with it among the luperstitious legends of the scotch thero are many stories of an unclean wicked little fairy v ho obtains entrance to a house and lives thereafter in the cellars and coalbins taking a mischievous part in the family life tas persecutions became so intolerable to one household wo are told that they hired a new dwelling and at great loss flitted from their old house going secretly by night to escape their tormentor but when the cart with thoir raovabiei entered tho

still holds to the theory that he oan oarry his herds through the winter without feeding if only the chinooks are frequent enough but in washington on the big prairies between the cascades and the

the ohains of winter aro unloosed and the ice bouud rivers are set free the chinook is the enemy of the odious oast wind and while ordinarily it yields its influence as gently ob the zephyrs that waft
