The SPED Of Modern Steamships.

Thirty vars ago sixteen days was a
falr allowance for the passage between
England nd New York by steam. Bv
gradual teps the point was reached
when eileen days was the minimum and
this started the world. Then began q
rivalry btween the Inman and White
Star lines attended hp. ,--,e~s-:9-,
runs shoslg u gradual lncreaseof speed,
which provd a great advertisement for
these lines In 1871 the average time
of twentyfour crack voyages by these
Inns was Sight days, fifteen hours and
thne minutes. The Adriatic's best
wetward time was forty three minutes
les. It hould be remembered that the
Westward passage is generally longer
thin in the other direction, owing to
westerly Winds and the Gulf stream. In
emulation Of this speed in 1878 the City
ofBerlin. of the Inman Line, made a
trin to Queenstown from New York in
sever days, fourteen hours and twelve
minutes. and in the same year the Brit
annie. d tae White Star line, crossed
from Queenstown in seven days, ten
hours and fifty-three minutes. In 1879
new ripl appeared in this field, the
Arizona Of the Guion line. This steam
ship male the eastward passage in 1880
in sever days, ten hours and forty-seven
minutes. aid in one trip in 1881 she
lessenei his time about three hours.
This seeaed to be about the best that
could b expected of these superb ships,
when fle new Guion steamer, Alaska,
after lumber of astonishing runs,
accomplished the westward passage be-
tween the two ports, on April Is, 1882,
in sever days, six hours and twenty
minutes actual time, against heavy seas.
In subsequent trip eastward she ran
the trip ~ six days and twenty-five
hours. afual time. In this, the quick
EFT passage ever made across the Attain
tic. the Alaska travelled 1896 knots,
being about an average of 4183 knots
per day. Tor seven successive days. It
will be observed that the increase of
speed has been graduated in proportion
to the gradual increase of size. The
ships Of 1850 were rarely much over
3. 500 tons, and were barely 800 feet long.
Now the average length of ocean steam
ers is upward OF 400 feet, while 500 feet
is not uncommeh. The City of Rome is
586 feet long and registers 1926 tons;
the Servia j $50 feet long, and $500
tons: theAlaska is 500 and 6,932 tons.
The Austal, intended for the Australian
trade. is 474 feet long and forty-eight
feet tlree inches broad, and registers
$500 tons. The measurement of this
vessel, and of the new Cunarder, Cepha-
lonia, which is 440 feet long by forty
six feet beam, indicate that the reaction
against extreme length has already COM
menced in the great ship-yards of Great
Britain, being in each of these cases less
than ten beams to the length. Century

Summer Schools.

Recreation is necessary, and families
are not to be blamed who demand
change Of scene and recreation during
the summer season but time is wasted
at most of the so-called pleasure resorts.
We have so few years to live that it
seems wicked to pass a whole season in
frivolous pursuits. Summer schools
should be encouraged the yopng espe-
cially should be taught to occupy their
time in acquiring some useful informa-
ton. Excursions would be no less
pleasant If made use. of to impart in
formation. The world about us is full
of objects of Interest, and geology,
mineralogy, botany and zoology might
be taught during the summer rambles.
Sketching from nature is also a useful
accomplishment. The schools at Lake
Chautauqua are astep in the right direc-
ton. Even the philosophical school at
Concord doubtless has its uses, but
American fathers and mothers should
wake upto the wickedness Of allowing
their young people to spend SO large a
part OF the year in time-kllling devices
and trivial pleasures.

Rather Risky to Pillow Tn.

In Colorado is ten-acre field, which
is simply a subterranean lake covered
with soil about eighteen inches deep.
On the soil is cultivated a field of corn
which produces thirty bushels to the
acre. IF any one will take the trouble
to dig hole to the depth of spade
handle he will find that it will fill with
water, and by using hook and line fish
five or six inches long may be caught.
The fish have neither scales nor eyes,
and are perch-like in shape. The ground
is a black mari in nature, and in all
probability was at one time an open
body of water, on which accumulated
vegetable matter, which has been in
creased from time to time, until now it
has crust sufficiently strong and rich
to produce fine corn, although it
has to be cultivated by hand, as it is not
strong enough to bear. the weight of a
horse, While harvesting the hands
catch great strings of fish by making a
hole through the earth. A person rising
on his heel and coming down suddenly
can see the growing corn shake all
around him

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Commissioner Loring, of the Agri-
cultural Department, left the capital last
week to fulfill engagements to speak at State
fairs at Des Moines, Omaha, Topeka and Chi
cago.
The report of the microscopical ex-
perts, Drs Arnold, Shakespeare and McCon-
nell, containing the result of their investi.
cations into the condition of Guiteau's brain.
was received at Washington by DR.. Lamb,
last week, and received his Endorsement
DR., Lamb states that the position taken by
DR.. Godding that Guiteau was insane would
be materially supported by this report
The investigation had been made under
peculiarly favorable circumstances, and
the result would form complete re-
cord of immense value to brain
students. The investigation, indeed, said
DR., Lamb, had been so complete and thor
ough that the specialists would have great
difficulty in finding cases which might prop
erly serve as a basis of comparison. In con-
clusion, ne said he did not believe the report
would cause change of opinions as to
Guiteaus sanity to any great extent but that
the medical fraternity generally must draw
their own conclusions, and this was the court
of last resort
There was an exciting episode in the
star-route trials at Washington Just upon
the conclusion of arguments by counsel
"Judge Wylie said it had come to his ears
that members of the jury had been APP
preached in a most disgraceful way in
attempts to influence their action He had
first heard of it about week ago, when
he had received the most direct and
positive information of this character.
He had then advised the jurymen to say
nothing about it, as he did not wish to stop
the progress of the case. Within the past
twenty-four hours, however, these wolves
that surrounded the jury had become fiercer
and holder, and, upon hearing of one at
tempt more brazen and villainous than
Others, he had felt such indignation that he
had nearly advised the juror to shoot down
such man on the spot He had thought
that but had not advised it He now alb
jured the jurymen to spurn such men with
the toe of their foot, to turn from them
with scorn- He wished to warn these men
| that they were not to commit such outrages
without punishment; after this trial
perhaps an investigation would follow. Gen
Henkle immediately rose and said with much
feeling that in the interest Of his clients he
should demand an investigation. The court
said perhaps he would have it ALI the other
counsel for the defense gave similar notice
Foreman Dickson rose, and said that when
the cases were disposed of he should lay all
the information in his possession touching
