The Monarch of the Seas.

One Of the finest examples of the present
practice in the construction of the sea-going
steamers is found in the Oregon, a sister ship
to the Alaska, now being built in England for
the Williams & Guion line. The Oregon will
be somewhat larger in length and beam than
the Alaslla, but it is in her machinery and
ability to speed that it is expected that she
will excel all other vessels ahoat. Her en-
gines are proportional to develop l3,900-horso
power, and are expected to drive the vessel at
a rate close on to twenty knots an hour.
Twelve boilers furnish steam to these engines,
each one of which is supplied with six fur
naces. These furnaces will burn about twenty
pounds of coal to each square foot of CRATE
surface, and as this surface represents some
siN hundred thousand square feet, the total
consumption for every twenty-four hours will
be 800 tons Allowing, then that each ton of
coal cvaporates nine time its weight of water,
it follows that 200 tons Of steam will pass
through the engines every twenty-four hours.
As q motor, she will be supplied with a
twenty-four-foot propeller screw having a
pitch of nearly forty feet, Relative 70 the
amount of water used for the generation of
steam for a single trip across the Atlantic for
this il <nse steamer, some idea may be had
by REM nbering that if the amount thus used
were Spplied to town at the rate of four
cubic feet, or twenty-five gallons, per head, it
would suffice for "a 900 souls, being equal to
nearly three times the weight of the whole
ship, cargo, engines, and all. The excess of
horse power over that of the largest engine
yet made, that OF the Great Eastern, will be
more than three thousand -Nec York Nail

Shooting Fish in Fiji.

Near NV house there is a rocky promontory
iutting some way out into the sea, with coral
reef round its base; at high water there is
some three feet of water over this reef, and hsh
of all kinds come on it feeding. From the sum-
nit Of this promontOTy-whch Is ABOUT seven
ty feet high-thGre Is capital view oil the
reef and as the clear water hides it no more
dian though II were covered by sheet Of plate

visible. From this elevated spot, armed with
a Martini-Henrv rife, it does not require
very good shot to put bullet over tsh IN

truction the conclusion of the bullet with the
water causes among shoal OF small hsh. l

great size out here, and one that harpooned
towed me in a small boat at high speed. A
curious kind of worm, about six inches long
and of the thickness of a piece of ordinary
string, rises apparently from out of the coral
reefs twice every year. They are called ba-
lolo, and make their first appearance in Octo-
Der, which month the natives call "Balolo lai-
lai," or little balolo," as the worms appear
in only a small quantity. They appear again
in vast numbers about November 25th, and
give that month the name of "balolO levu," or
great balolo." The natives can tell almost
to the day when these worms will appear, and
by keeping men on the lookout for white and
red scum which appears on the water just be
fore the baloo rise, rarely miss them. They
appear about low water, covering the sea with
a writing wriggling mass. AS the tide rises
they drift in great numbers shoreward, and
are baled up by the natives in small hand nets.
They are very excellent eating, but very rich.
The Fijians deyour huge quantities, and faith
fully bear in mind their balolo proverb "E
kua coma nj balolo, me ma kua sara" which
means. If you don't eat balolo now, it will
be a long time before on o."-Ihe London

Speed of Boats.

There is something beyond calcu'a-
ton In the speed of steamers, according o
to one of John Roac,l's experts. Two
boats may be built simu ultaneouslv from
the same model, with every effort to
make them precise duplicates as to
shape and machinery, and yet one will
prove faster than the other. Why this
is so no man can tell. The Mary Pow
ell has for fifteen years been the swift
est on the Hudson river. During all
that time she never has been beaten.
Time and again on exact counterpart
has been built, with everything copied
as nearly as the best mechanics and
facilities could do it, but none of these
has turned out as good az the original.
As the reputation of unrivalled speedi-
ness Is valuable adv, rtisen. ent for a
boat, you can see the object

Death bv Poison.

A very sad case Of death from the
ignorant use Of a powerful poison oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon, the victim
being Mrs. Edward Towers. The cir
cumstances were as follows: Mrs.
Towers was in the constant habit of
using morphine and had become so
confirmed in its use that she could not
long be without it. Her husband is
in the habit OF using strychaine rs a
nerve tonic and kept supply of the
drug IN the house. On Wednesday
evening Mrs. Towers needed morphine
and expected her husband to como
home with some about 7 o'clock. He
lid not come until 10 o'clock, and in
the meantime she felt the need Of her
accustomed dose SO strongly that size

C concluded to try dose of the medi-
cine her husband was in the habit of
using, supposing it would have the
same effect upon her. Ignorant of It's
terrible power, Mrs. Towers took
dose sufficient to kill any one, where
the system was unaccustomed by grad
ual usage to it's effects. In very
short time the poison made itself felt,
throwing her into the spasms or rigors
that mark the effect of strychnine.
Drs. Weirick and Grant were called,
but too late; antidotes were admins
tered, but the poison had been assinii-
lated and was beyond their reach. She
sank gradually until late yesterday af-
ternoon, when death claimed her.

The New Park Road.


The Carbon County Journal has the
following to say regarding the propos-
ed railway through Wyoming to the
Park:
Recently reference was made to the
fact that party of engineers had come
from Denver for the purpose of survey
ing road to the Yellowstone. Ev-.
eryth'ng stated regarding the road
was correct. Beginning at the soda
lakes near Rawlns, the syndicate that
controls the lakes and of which Sec.
retary F. S. n. Morgan is member,
will extend the road to Fort Washakie.
by the most direct route practicable
a nd thence on to the Yellowstone.
MessrS. Wallace and Boutwell, have
ten civil engineers now at work on the
line and it has been surveyed far
enough to secure the right of way.
Unlimited capital is at the command
of the company, and there is no doubt
that the road will be pushed on to CON-
pletiOn.

Oregon PiOn GERS in Danger.

The Oregon papers are very solicit.
.ous about the safety of the aged pion.
eers who are now ON their way to New
York. They have occupied vast
amount of space with warnings ad-
dressed to these fathers of the state
to look out for knaves and sharrers in
the eastern haunts of crime. They
cite the case of citizen of Portland
who was taken in by New York bunko
steerers to the tune of over $4,000.
One of the Portland papers comes out
with the following versified warning:
