Speed at Sea and on the hail.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The performance of the new Inman
Line steamer City Of New York, on her
trial trip, is a revelation of the POSSIBLE
tiles of united effort by the naval archi-
tect and the mechanical engineer. That
so huge mass of iron and wood as a
steamer $50 feet long, 633 feet wide and
II feet nodded depth can be driven
through the water at the tremendous
speed of twenty-five miles an hour, Will
appear marvellous when given due
thought; and it will be readily seen
that such grand result could only be OBJ
tanned by close calculation as to weight,
displacement and balance of material.
The City of New York is yacht in
comparison with the only larger vessel
in the world-the Great Eastern. and
the difference between the leyiathan
vessels represents the advancement in
naval architecture and marine enginery
during the past thirty years. That the
next three decades will bring about pro
erosion of similar magnitude cannot be
expected; but we are not yet so near
perfection in the direction of speedy
navigation of the ocean, but that long
strides ahead may vet be taken. The
limit of speed has not been reached,
and the problem will probably never be
solved The engineer will go on i'm
proving his engine, and the naval arch
ltect will continue to perfect his model
until some day we may have a purely
passenger ship which, with her SYM
metrical hull full of machinery, will
speed across the Atlantic in less than
five days.
The steamship encounters resistance
that cannot be accurately measured or
definitely located and 50 much of her
success lies in her model that no man
can ever say This is the fastest vessel
that will ever be built" The builder of
a locomotive can tell more nearly what
his creation will perform, because the
friction of track may be accurately
gagged and defects Of construction def
nitely located. In a paper in Scribner's
Magazine for August NJ. n. Fornev
argues TO logical conclusion that "there
is certain proportion of wheels, cylin-
ders and boiler which will give a max
imum speed" The Locomotives builder
must yield to the natural law that the
resistance increases as the square of the
speed, and probably at even greater
ratio at very high velocities. There
may be Improvement in the way of
tractive power, by III some way in
creasing a wheels clutch upon a raj.
experiments were recently Ulaue III
that regard at Baltimore, with an cleo
trio apparatus which it is claimed will
increase the attractive adhesion of the
wheels 100 per cent. The inventor
claims that steaming capacity, driving
wheels, etc, being equal, Acton loco
motive equipped with his electric appa-
ratus will do the work of a Cotton loco
motive not so equipped. If this state
ment will stand the proof of practical
test, an important advance will have
been scored.
Thus it would seem that while there
is room for progress in the building of
fast steaming ships, the builder of loco
motives has reached point at which
natural law is bar to much further inn
proyement in the way of speed.

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER IL
The house on the old Rice farm waa
part frame and part log. The front, or
what was called the new house, was
frame. while the old WAS built Of logs.
The new house had four rooms IN 1T {;
three bedrooms and one room that
seemed TO be III general uEe, for In fact
the library, reception and sitting room,
saloon, drawing-roo and parlor was
this one coy little four-cornefed cham
Der.
II was comfortably but cheaply fur
nished, while on chilly days and even
ines bright fire was always burning
in the little old-fashioned fireplace.
On the west side of this wonderful
room were two bedrooms spare
room and Iina's; while on the east side
was Uncle Cristo's and Aunt June's.
Passing from the north side OF this
wonderful room, through heavy door,
Won entered short hallway, where
they kept the molasses, vinegar, etc. ;
then comes the old log kitchen, which
was also used as dining room, and often
Auntie June would convert it into a
sewing room, as she had done on this
day.
There she sat, in the middle Of the
floor, with her sewing strewn over the
room, one piece on the table, one on
the floor, while another was lying on
the cold, polished stove. The larger
part of little Lina's new dress was
pinned TO her aunt's knee, while she was
bending over it, slowly yet steadily
drawing the needle III and out. She sat
there busy with hand and head, when
suddenly she sprang to her feet and
went to the west door, putting her
rough, brown hand up to her dark,
wrinkled forehead.
For some time she stood there, peer
ing III the distance, i'll the hopes of see
ing the tall, slender form Of her hus-
band coming down the lane.
Hum 1 iist wonder what's keep
in that Cristo man of mine. i reckon
he means to be a. good as his word and
stay until he gets ready to come home
he should be home long afore this!
"Fiddlesticks I'll bet another turkey
that he's stayin' for dinner at the old
tavern; well, let him stay, for all o
| me, for ! can get along without him.
Sure as the worlds round, / will have q
dinner all by myself that will be fit fol
a king and Il hundred times better than
he can get up at that old tavern"
The irritated, uneasy woman stood
for some time in the doorway, and
then, with nervous jerk, turned and
went to her sewing again; but in a few
minutes she WAS up once more and al
the door looking for her tardy husband.

The French Centenarian.
From London Figaro.

The French centenarisn, NJ. Chevreul
whose Tooth birthday was kept up with
such eclat a year or two ago, has. like
many Of his juniors, been adversely af-
fected by the long, unreasonable spell
OF wet and cold we have been having.
In short, this Grand Old Man across the
channel is al last beginning to feel his
age. Up to a month ago, incredible as
1t may sound, he has continued to paw
daily visits to his room at the Academy
OF Science, and, what makes it more
wonderful still, that room of his is on
the second floor. Yet it is only within
the past week that NJ. Chevreul has had
10 admit that the two flights OF stairs are
too much for his strength. During the
past ten days he has been feeling So
weak that he has more than once re-
NAMED IN bed, and his colleagues are
