An ACRE HALF A STEAMSHIP Below
publish an interesting article from the State of
Maine, descriptive of an enormous steamship now in
process of construction at Milford Haven. The pro-
posal to build leviathan steamships in
ton with British North American inter-colonia rail
,.ys is not new. Mr.. Howe of Nova Scotia gave it
great prominence in his letters to the Colonial Sec
rotary the occasion OF his visit to England to OBJ
tain the Imperial assistance for his great rail road
project which was exploded in manner so interest
ing. The principles involved in the building of enor
nous steamships is important, and we are in
cned to think it will turn out to be of great advan-
tage these Provinces. The following is the article
above alluded to-
Mr.. Belts the great Railway contractor, who has
just left for Montreal, is director in the Eastern
Steam Navigation Company, who constructing
the Leviathan Steamship, for the purpose of factat
ing Ocean navigation The other head of this COM
pany is the Earl of Marlborough, and the name of
Mr. Peto and others of equal note, also assoca-
ted with Mr.. Belts in the direction. This company
have laid the keel of monster Steamer, whose di-
mansions given follows Length 673 feet;
breadth 80 feet out to out of wheehouse 120 feet;
depth of hold from combings of main deck SO feet;
power of Engines 5000 horse. rdeck presents an
area of over II acres of surface.
This ship is being built by Scott Russell, Esq. the
greatest naval architect of England and is construc
ted in several compartments made water-tight,
that in case other bow her stern breaking off she
would still be able to float in separate pieces. We
have notices of this ship before, but have not
been able to ascertain her precise dimensions before
All experience has tended to show that speed and
steadness have been attained in proportion to the in
crease of the size of ship. better opinion now is
that 80 feet is the extreme depth of the highest ocean
wave, and that vessel drawing 80 feet of water, of
length of 600 feet or over can ride the without
being moved from a level. We have this opinion
forced upon attention by several of the captains
in the Cunard and Collins lines. It is doubtful if such
steamer could enter our harbor and Halifax is there
fore regarded the most suitable port for this new
move in Ocean Navigation. This Steamer is to sail
from Milford Haven where she is now building-or
from Holyhead Harbor, which promises eventually
to become the great Steamship Terminus of the Brit
ish Isles. Toronto G0Lonists.
Washington and Saratoga Railroad has been reJluc-
ed to 49, and passengers by this route, are taken
from Montreal to Boston, Stonington for S. hav-
ing half day New York to visit the Crystal Pal
ace and are then landed in Boston nearly soon as

SIZE OF THE ARK. Infidels have objected to the
size of the Ark and have asserted that it is quite
absurd to suppose that there could be vessel
constructed large enough to hold all the creatures
that must have been placed in it. together with suf
fcient food-Ct may be for six or twelve months)-
water for the fshesi for the four-footed ami
mails, seed for the birds, and so on. Now we will
take the dimensions of the Ark from the record of
Moses, and calculate them the lowest possible
scale. There are two definitions given of a cubit :
one that it is 1S inches foot and haf-the 9TH
er that it is l foot inches. We will take only at
the lowest. Moses states that the Ark was 800
cubits long this would make it 400 feet long, or
about the length of ST. Paul's cathedral, London.
The breadth of he states to be 80 cubits then
have it 70 feet in breadth He states it to be 80
bits high so that it was 45 feet in height In other
words, it was long as St Pauls cathedral nearly
as broad, and half as high. The tonnage of the
Ark according to the calculation of modern carpen-
ters must have been 80 900 tons. The largest Eng
lish ship of war, the st. Vincent for instance which
is of size altogether unimaginabe to those who
have never seen it's $500 tons burden; so that
the Ark must have been equal to secentees rstrdte
ships Of war, and armed as such ships are it would
have contained much beyond Is, 600 men, and pro-
visions for them for 10 months. Button has stated
that all the fourfooted animals may be reduced to
$50 pairs and the birds to still smaller. On cal
culaton, therefore, shall find that the Ark would
have held more than five times the necessary number
OF creatures and more than five times the required
quantity of food to maintain them for twelve months

The SELF CREATING PowER OF MONEY. A penny
at five per cent, simple interest for eighteen hundrd
years, amounts to seven shillings and pence
half penny, but at compound interest it would be
larger sum than could be contained in six hundred
millions of globes, each equal to the earth in magnf
tude, and all of solid gold. Gregory's Dictionary
In these few lines is the secret of the immense
wealth of the Rothschds, the Girards, and the As
tors. AS Mr.. Astor once said, the only difficulty ID
becoming rich is that of getting the first few Thousand
dollars to begin with. Ignorance of this wonderful
power in money to reproduce itself is chief cause
of the poverty ofthe poor In most of the countries
of the old world the great bulk of the population

The MANAGEMENT OF THE FNGER-NAILs According
to European fashion, they should be of an oval fig
ure, transparent, without specks or ridges of any
kind the semiunar fold or white haf-circle should
be fully developed and the peIlice, cutcle which
forms the confguration around the root of the nails
thin and well-defned and, when properly arranged
should represent nearly as possible the shape ola
halfflbert. The proper arrangement of the nails is
form of the fingers; they should not be allowed to
grow too long, it is difficult to keep them clean;
too short it allows the ends of the fingers to
become hattened and enlarged by being pressed up
wards against the nails, and gives them clumsy ap
pearance. The epidermis, which forms the senior
Gle around and adheres to the nail requires partcu-
lar attention. it is frequently dragged with its
growth drawing the skin below the nails tense as
to to crack and separate into what called
agnails. This is easily remedied by carefully sepa
rating the skin from the nail by blunt halfround
instrument. Many persons are in the habit of con-
it becomes exceedingly irregular and often injurious
to the growth of the nail They also frequently pick
under the nails with pin, penknife the point Of
sharp scissors with the intention of keeping them
clean, by doing which they often loosen Them and
occasion considerable injury. The nails should be
cleansed with brush not too hard and the senior
cular skin should not be cut away but only loosened
without touching the quick the fingers being after
wards dippe n tepid water, and the skin pushed
back with a towel This method, which should be
practced daily, win keep the nails Of proper shape
prevent agnails and the pehcles from thickening or
becoming rugged. When the nails are naturally rug
ged or Informed the longitudinal ridges or fbres
should be scraped and rubbed with lemon, after
wards rinsed in water and well dried with the tow
Ell but if the nails very thin, no benefit will be
derived by scraping; the contrary it might cause
them to split. IF the nails grow more to one side
than the other they should be cut in such manner
as to make the point as possible in the
centre of tho end of the finger. DurLacher
