A Vessel Resigned to Make Twenty
five Knots an Hour.

The steamer Meteor has been in pro-
cess of construction for a number of
months past at Nyack- on the Hudson,
and is now nearly completed. Although
built on the soil of the Empire State, the
Meteor is essentially a Boston notion, and
the money needed to construct her was
raised almost wholly in that city She
Is nothing more than an experimental
ship, for she is only 100 or 200 tons bur
den, but it is held that if she can fulfill
the expectations of her designers vessel
of 5000 or 5000 tons built upon the
same lines would be prominently sue
cessful as a Transatlantic passenger boat.
What it is proposed that the Meteor shall
do is to steam at the rate of twenty five
knots an hour in heavy seaway, this
speed to be maintained without regard
to whether fair or a head wind is blow
ing. It is evident that vessel that
can in day traverse six hundred miles
of ocean surface, without regard to the
condition of wind or water, will have a
good deal to say in her favor, and the
performance would be all the more as
tonishing if accomplished by a relatively
small steamer. 1t need hardly be said
after this that the model of the Meteor
is so constructed that it will be matter
of indifference to those on board of her
whether the waves make a clean sweep
over her or not Above water she is to
have a turtle back covering the entire
deck, thus giving her something the ap-
pearance of "cigar-ship," while below
water her hull will resemble, in a cross
section cut amidships, the letter V, this
form giving her, it is claimed, great
stability. If her adventurous builders
can demonstrate by the Meteor that their
method is a sound one, they are then to
raise the money needed to build number
of large steamships upon the same model
and enter definitely into the transatlantic
passenger trade, making, as they hope,
trips from Boston to Queenstown IN five

Distribution of Farm Lands.

The appearance of the latest census
bulletin on this subject, in connection
with the previous Ones-issued upon the
rule that early, although fragmentary,
information is preferable to completer
but delayed-enable us to complete some
