Mr.. Pearce, the builder of the Alaska,
the Oregon and other fast steamers,
has proclaimed his belief that the voy-
age across the Atlantic will ere long be
accomplished in six days. But this is
as nothing compared with the hope
which a Leeds gentleman announces to
when he has built his ship-to carry
people from Liverpool to New York in
three days. This wonderful achieve
ment is to be brought about by his new
aqua-aerial or wave ship. The aqua
aerial ship is intended for express, mail
and passenger service, also for un-
armored war ships for which great
speed IS desirable. The wave ship is of
shallow draught when at rest, and when
set in motion its draught is to decrease
with the increase of speed. Instead of
blowing its way through the water it is
to skim along or over the surface, there
by avoiding the chief cause of resist
ance to the progress of ordinary ships,
viz: Wave making. The resistance Of
fered by the water to its onward course
is thus to be reduced to minimum, and
the power uselessly expended in wave
making and displacement of water by
vessels of the ordinary type is to be
wholly utilized in the increase of speed.
This is to be accomplished by making
the bottom of the vessel a series of in
clined planes placed one after the other.
Why not arrange to have the vessel
lift herself ont of the water with the ex-
ception of the heel of her rudder post
and let her skim along on that? The
voyage might then, perhaps, be ac-
complished in q few hours.

now Sc years old, but retains his phys

Mrs. Weldon, an English woman,
alone and unaided, defeated a host Of
English lawyer and NJ. DIS, and proved
a distinct conspiracy to entrap her into
a lunatic asylum. She possesses re-
markable eloquence. Her arguments,
as read, are close and crushing, and
she is described as having a wondrous
charm of expression. She is not pro-
lix, but excessively concise. She is
energetic, full of animal life. Her
nervous and intellectual organization IS
intense. When she speaks, fire seems
TO fash from her.

however, in his own right, the revenues
of which he never touched, but applied
wholly to his mother and sisters.

Long brancn Letter.
One of the most plainly dressed won
en- in the room was Lady Exmouth
She wore a black lace dress overa cana
ry-colored silk. cut very decollete, and
exposing a beautiful neck and sloping
shoulders. Loops of canary-colored
ribbon, diamond ornaments, including
a necklace, and a huge bouquet of vel.
low roses finished her costume. Lady
Exmouth is twenty-three years old, but
has not the freshness and bloom of En-
glish childhood, nor the buxom expan-
~siveness of a British matron. She is
rather thin and pale, and if it was NOT
for her way of wearing her hair, cropped
at the top and in a Langtry knot at the
back, would look more American than
English. Lord Exmouth is a dapper
little man, about the size of Sunset Cox,
with a bright eye. During the evening
the noble pair never moved from their
chairs; he sat on one foot, swinging the
other, with an eyeglass in his ocular,
watching the dancers, and she alter

bottle and the fragrance of her $

that leather OF a Eght texture causes
