PHOTO-PQRTRA|T

1924 Inches.

There are many portraits OF Gen Grant, as.
there were of George Washington but the Dor
trait Of Grant by Bogardus, taken just after his
return from the trip around the world when at
the zenith OF his fame, in the prime of life and in
perfect health, is the only that will be known
in the future. The pol trait of Washington by
stuart Is the one known to the masses; even
children recognize it before they know the alpha
bet. The portrait of Our Old Commander, as
taken at the time refer to, is the one that
will live in the minds of the people of the coun-
try he saved. Millions saw Gen. Grant at about
the time this was taken. This will be the por
trait OF history. No steel engraving or oil paint
ing can compare, as likeness with a photo
graph-the mirror of the face.
Gen. Grant is dead, and everybody will desire
portrait and should get the best one. We

The Alaska is the longest steamer on the
sea She is also the most famous, perhaps.
Two or three vessels, the Oregon, the America
aud the Alaska, claim each TO be the fnstcst
teamers that cross the ocean The exnct
truth in the matter Is not yet settled, how
ever. An three seem as near perfection, both
as to comfort and qualities of speed, as
tsamers can be made. Certainly the Alaska
is as fast as any. Her quickest voyage from
New York to Queenstown WINS made in less
than a week, the exact time being 6days, IS
hours and 81 minutes The voyage from east
TO west requires a little longer time than that
from New York TO Europe. The Alaska's
fastest time from Queenstown TO New York
Is O days, 81 hours and 40 minuses. She Is
called the Greyhound OF the Atlantic This
winter has given the ocean steamers the
toughest weather they have encountered in
years. Some few have been wrecked and lost
altogether. The staunchest have suffered
more or loss damage from the fury OF the
vim and wave. There was terrific weather
during the last tripod the Aiaskn from Queens
town. In the midst Of 1t the magnificent
ship broke her rudder, several days out of
New York She drifted at the mercy of the
mad seas for some time, when fortunately a
smaller steamer was signaled, and came to
her aid. The Alaska had kept steam up dur
ing all these anxious hours. She took the
little ship in tow, literally, and, 1t being lashed
to her, served as a rudder The big ship
steamed and the little ship steered, and so the
two came into port together. 30 great was
the power OF the huge ocean steamer that the
smaller vessel was brought into New York a
day ahead of her own time. Besides this,
however, IL is said the smaller Ship received
s20O,000 for her services from the owners Of
the Alaska
1t was necessary 10 send TO Europe for a
new rudder for this ocean greyhound It was
shipped from tine yards on the Clyde, and ar
rived in New York few days ago. Meantime
il was thought best 10 haul the steamer upon
the dry docks at Brooklyn and give her a
thorough examination, TO see whether any
part Of her had been strained or sprung by
the violent seas during this memorable voy-
age. This was accordingly done She was
out of the water some 4S hours. The Alaska
Is the largest ship that was ever upon n dry
dock in America. This brief account Of her
cannot fail to be Of interest to our readers.

she lay upon the Brooklyn dry docks

The power of this tremendous ~propulsory
apparatus is almost beyond conception. The
weight of a full-grown whale may be appre-
ciated when the render reflects that the
famous elephant Jumbo would have to be
multiplied many times before his weight
would equal that of a large whale. Yet the
late Capt. Scott, Royal Navy, told me that
when ON the quarter deck Of his own ship he
repeatedly saw the whales leapfng in mere
play 50 high out of the water that the horizon
was clearly visible under them. Now, Capt
Scott lived to DO nearly 100 years old, and
when he was in active service the quarter
deck of a man -of-war was at least 80 feet
above the water; add to his meas
urement his own height (he being
rather a tall mani, and the reader can then
appreciate the terrific power of the animals
tail. / may here mention that this habit OF
~springing out Of the water is called ''breach-
ing by whalers. Besides the great muscular
apparatus which has just been mentioned, the
whale possesses another muscle which sur
rounds the body; it is scientifically and hap
PLY called the 'pdnnic1lus cafaostsn-or
''aeshy rag'-and is developed in various
ways, according to the animal. 1t is with
this muscle that the dog shakes his skin when
he comes out of the water. The hedgehog
has It very powerfully developed, in order
to enable it TO coil itself into the spiky ball
with which we are so familiar. The manis,
armAdillo and echidna also possess it and
use 1t for n similar purpose. Man has
but very little Of 1t, the chief vestiges
being the muscles of the face, which
give to the human countenance it
changing expressions. The whale wants il
for two purposes. He wants it to enable him
to bend his body-a function easily observed
in the dolphins as they curve their graceful
course through the sea; but chiefly be needs
It because by contracting it he can mako his
body heavier than a corresponding bulk Of
water. This he has no difficulty in doing,
and when he wishes TO seek the surface he has
only to relnx the pressure, when the body re
gains its original size and becomes lighter
thnn the proportionate bulk OF water. By
means Of this muscle the hippopotainus, the
elephant, and the zeal can sink themselves
below the surface and rise again without
moving a limb. For want Of It man cannot
perform this feat, aud the best swimmer In
tho world would not be able TO sink and risa
again 10 tho surface without moving hand or

and has 0 boilers, with engines of II 900 horse

the surface, experience seams 10 show
that the deeper the Balm people
bore the more copious is the supply, AT any
rate the Baln firms nre boring deeper every

tapped TO let the oil flow to the surfacc-if it
does fiow-until 1t ceases running, and then

engineers begin to bore again, and go ON Dor
ing until another one is reached. This pro-
cess goes ON continually until some copious
supply is reached which is sufficient TO last for
years This, as in the cass of the Korokeff

Ions of oil apiece from a depth OF 700 feet,
