Interesting Points as to Vibration and FOL

Interesting Points as to Vibration and ''Fol-
lowing Waves"
Some interesting points were brought
out on the recent trips of the Vesuvius
on the question of vibration, following
waves" and other problems which have
not been included in the report of her
speed trials.
1t was noticed says the New York
Times, that the vibrations were much
greater at some of the lower speeds than
when she was doing her best. In slowing
down and running for an anchorage, also
In getting under way before full speed
was reached, there We're apparent peculiar
up and down oscillations at a rate of
about sixty minute. At the times when
this was most noticeable the speed was
estimated at about ten knots, beco ming
Tar less perceptible as additional head
way was gathered. The full natural
draught speed of sixteen knots gave an
exceedingly steady motion, which was
more or less ipterfered with when forced
draught was used. The movement of the
vibrations, however, under all circUm-
stances appeared to be in vertical plane
and not horizontal.
Mhe antics of the following wave" as
the vessel rushed through the water, were
very interesting to watch. This wave in
creased in size as the speed was greater
and the water shallower, the shallo wness
causing it not only TO rise but to spread
out sidewise like q fan. At top speed
and In deep water, say about 100 feet a
little spray from the comb of this wave
would occasionally sprinkle the taffrail;
the wave seemed fully as high as the taft
rail. but had com paratively little spread,
not much more perhaps, than the beam
of the vessel. Now, when in shallow
water of about six fathons, the wave was
higher, being several times that resulting
from higher speed in deeper water.
The temperature of the fire room and
engine room when making her top speed
without using forced draught, the en-
gire making 200 revolutions was found
to be much cooler than usual in that de.
partment in high speed vessels. The
ordinary CRUISING speed being much be-
low Is knots, there will be NO difficulty
whatever attending the proper firing of
the furnaces anG a tention to machinery

THE OLD HOME.
ARTHUR L. SALMON.

In the qui shadows OF twilight
stand by the garden door,
And gaze on the old. old homestead.
So cherished and loved of wore.
But the ivy now is twining
Unframed Ger window and wall:
And no more the voice of the children
Is echoing through the hall.
Through years of pain and sorrow,
Since first I had 10 part,
The thought Of the dear old homestead
has fingered around my heart:
The porch EMPOWERED with roses,
The gables dropping caves.
And the song of the birds a. twilight
Amid the orchard leaves.
And the forms of those who loved me
In the happy childhood years
Appear at the dusky windows.
Through vision dimmed with tears.
l hear their voices calling
From the shadowy far away.
And l stretch my arms toward them
In the gloom Of the twilight gray.
But only the night winds answer,
As cry through the dismal air;
And only the bat comes Swooping
From the darkness Of its lair
Yet still the voice of my childhood
Is calling from far away.
And the faces of those who loved me
Smile through the shadows gray.

A QUEER RACE.
BY WILLIAM WESTEL.

The death of their comrade had scared,
IL not sobered them, and l was obeyed on
the instant.
''Is there any more, BolSover?" I asked.
'Yes, sir; two casks"
Fetch them here and throw them over
board"
This, too, was done.
In the meanwhile Oscar, the Swede, and
one or two of the men who were more
sensible than the rest, had raised poor
Bucklow up and carried him into the cap
tain's cabin. He was badly hurt, and quite
insensible. After doing all | could for
him, bathing and plastering up the wound
on his head, and leaving him in charge of
our only surviving boy, l went on deck
again, and found that those of the men
who were not absolutely drunk and in
capable were shortening sail under Boil
sover's directions.
You've frightened 'em, sir" said the
boatswain. ''The way you shot down that
scoundrel Smithers was a caution"
cit was done on the impulse Of the mo
ment, Bolsover; my revolver seemed to 90
off by ITSELF" returned; for Smithers still
lay where he fell, in a pool of blood. The
CHASTITY sight made me feel decidedly I'M

been too hasty.
"And a very good thing, too," said Boil
sover. Don't let that trouble you, sir.
You served the fellow right; the men
themselves think so To strike down Mr..
Bucklow was worse than murder-it was
treason. Ifanything happens to him, there
will be nobody to navigate the ship, and
then what shall we dO?'
"If anything happens to Mr.. Bucklowl
you surely don't think, Bolsover-"
"Well, that was a terrible crack on the
head Smithers gave him; it's much if he
ever speaks again, think"
He never did After remaining insensi-
bic for three days, the mate recovered con-
seriousness, but not power of speech. He
evidently wanted TO say something, and
made several vain yet desperate efforts to
articulate; then with his eyes he babe me a
pathetic farewell, pressed my hand, and
quietly passed away.
Peace be to his ashes! think Bucklow's
death affected me more than any other
which had yet occurred. 1t was not mere
" that 1t left us helpless and utterly in
capable of taking the ship to her destina-
ton; liked him personally. He was a
courageous, open-hearted sailor, wise in
council and prompt in action; and the loss
of so many of our comrades had brought
us into close companiOnship. [ had come
to entertain warm affection for him, and
he was the only one left with whom /
could converse on terms of intellectual
equality.

The WAY 1t is''GOing.

Robert Sigel son of General Feanz
Sigel, Pension Agent at New York, was
arrested yesterday on charge of forgery
and violating the pension laws. He has
been employed by his father as private
secretary and confidential cle-k, and has
been in the habit of exact1ng fees from
pensioners. The amounts he secured
ranged from 81 to $500. He confesses
having violated the laws over a hundred
and fifty times. One charge against him
is the forging of the Endorsement of Sid
ney Knight, blind veteran, by which
Knight lost $500. His excuse for the
forgery was that he had procured the
pension for knight, and that the latter
was satisfied with the amount which he
received. In default of $4,000 bail, Sige
was sent to jail to wait examination next
Tuesday.

A German paper recommends solution
of peraffiue in heavy coal tar oil for the
purpose of protecting walls exposed to
the weather. Papered walls which
showed dampness in wet weather gave
go traces of it after an external coating
of this preparation had been applied.
One part of psrafine and two to three
parts of coal tar oil is served in a moder-
ate heat; sufficient oil must be used to
prevent the solution from becoming
sticky. The vessel containing it must
stand in hot water while the paint is be-

days when the bricks or stone are thor

CHICAGO, October 29th.-In an interview
in local paper, Jos. Gabriel, a mine-own-
er of Victoria, says that the largest portion
of the commerce between British Columbia
and the United States is in Cinnamon and
opium. He talks of what is well known to
Pacific Coasters-aboUt the way loads of
coolies, which formerly went to San Fran
cisco, are dumped at Victoria, and thence
make their way across the boundary; and
also about the unparalleled extent to which
opium smuggling has grown. Gabriel
further said that people up his way are
practically unanimous for annexation to
the United States. Recent events in the
relations of the two countries have spurred
the desire. He added:
Nobody blamed you for seizing the seal
poachers in Alaskan waters, although they
were mostly Victoria people. The blame
is wholly laid upon the British Govern
ment, which, after telling US we had right
to fish for seals. refused to give US protec-
ton The natural relations of our people
with the Americans demand the union.
We need American capital. The English
are positive handicap on the attempts OF
our young and progressive people TO devel-
op the country"
