IHE Official Bulletin OF the annual meeting the
N. E. A, which is to be held at st. Paul in July,
has been received at our office. s'What To See in
st. Paul, is the article that attracts the eye upon
the first page, and glimpse at the many good
things that are enumerated in the Bulletin, makes
one very DESTROYS to join the procession Rail
roads are offering special inducements and rates
on all the roads will be extremely low-probably
one fare the round trip. There will be many
pleasant excursions planned, and the privilege of
going by one route and returning by another, will
be secured to those who attend. Any one inter-
ested in the cause of education, whether employed
as teacher or otherwise, can avail themselves of
this golden opportunity to visit the lakes.
CHICAGO can now take long breath and good
nights rest The Worlds Fair bill has passed
the Senate and the coveted prize is fairly within
the anxious grasp of the great Northwestern
metropolis. Hon. George Vest being Missouran
and naturally in favor Of st. LOUIS, spoke in OPP
position to the BILL saying the Fair had been
auctioned off to the highest bidder and assumed
that the whole proceeding was undgnifed and in
no wise calculated to elevate the American char
acter at home or abroad. Mr.. Cullom thought
differently, and declared that when the name of
Chicago was mentioned Mr.. Vest appeared to be
seized by kind of hydrophobia. Poor Mr.. Vest!
But perhaps Mr.. Vest will see himself revenged in
1893, when Chicago gets terrible fit of dyspep-
STA from taking an overdose of white elephant
FROM the Fayetteville Republican, through the
pen Of Mr.. j. H. VanIIoose, we get picture of
one Of the first public schools in Arkansas. 1t
dates back to the year 1916, and was taught on
the Middle Fork, in White River, by the Rev.
James E. Mayfeld. Could the good old master Of
those by-gone days but stand at the threshold of
some one of the many institutions of learning
that may now be found in Arkansas, he would not
think the seed had fallen on barren soil. Teach
ing according to the methods then in vogue, we
find the old-fashioned spelling book was evidently
in good repute, for we are told Of children who
could spell well in one, two, three and more syl-
tables. We clip the following items, which may
prove interesting:

until they were enabled to navigate the
Mediterranean and reach the western coast
of India. The Phenicians were ais o
among the first to improve their shipping,
but the most rapid advance of all was made
by the people of Tyre. who, to counterbal-
ance the unproductiveness of the soil OF
their country, laid the seas and the sur
rounding nations under tribute. However,
the best of ships of this time were quite
small and continued to be so for many CEN
turies; so small, indeed, were they that it
was the general custom to beach them every
winter, and early writers speak of the sail
ors as debarking from the largest vessels in
water only breast high.
As in most cases of progress, necessity
furnished the incentive for vast improve
ment in ships. The Norsemen, who had the
wild Atlantic seas to contend with, made
their vessels smaller than those of other
countries, but they were stoutly constructed.
In these the hardy men of the North made
longer and more venturesome voyages than
had ever been known before, and this
ability Joined to their well-known ferocity
made them the terrors of the seas. They
sailed boldly into the unknown Polar seas;
they reached, il is believed, the shores of
the New World, and at every opportunity
made the inhabitants of the coasts visited
by them pay dear tribute for their visits.
Well the English feared the bold viking

More Deaths Than Marriages Always Re.

More Deaths Than Marriages Always Re-
ported TO the Newspapers.
Albany Evening Journal.l
To Judge from the column of marriages
and deaths in the daily newspaper where the
law does not compel publication, it would ap-
pear that the race is fast dying out There
are generally dozen or so deaths to mar
riage and as for births, they are indeed like
angels visits in more respects than one.
Can it be that the happy grooms Of nova
days are ashamed to publish to the world
the fact that they have joined the Benedcts?
(That is the regulation expression, but it
may, perhaps, be better to say ''tolloYed
the example of Father Adam.'') 1t really
does look as though bride and bridegroom
were both desirous of concealing transac-
ton which each has the strongest reasons
for publishing.
The official record-and this, indeed, is
often lacking through carelessness-is often
difficult to find, and wiie's record of her
marriage, or an heir at-law's record of birth
is often depending entirely upon the publ
cation in a newspaper. Not only should the
Law, as it now does in many States, compel
the publication of marriages, births and
deaths, but one would naturally think
that the parties most interested would be as
particular to publish the facts of their mar
riage and the birth of their children as they
are to publish the more unhappy circum-
stances of death. 1t is a curious fashion,
if it is fashion, this omission of marriage
and birth notices, and not one that reflects
very much credit upon "the way we live
now," as Trollope would say.

pacity of the screw propeller, although as
before stated, it had already been in
use. England, however, was so far
behind that upward OF 40 vessels of
this kind were plying American waters
before that country became aware of the ad-
vantage OF the new propulsive power. The
Robert T. Stockton, which crossed the At
lsntic in 1889, was the first screw steamer to
make the venture; while to-day not single
paddle-wheeler crosses that ocean. In the
meantime the paddle-wheel vessels had re-
duced the time required in crossing materi-
ally, the Sirius and Great Western both do
ing it in 10 days in 1888, and the vessels of
this kind continued to improve as we'll as
the screw propeller. The last one worth men
tioning was the Scotia, which made the At
lantic passage in 8 days and % minutes in
1870, but from IA to 16 days was the average
ior number of years, which was reduced
gradually in the sos to about IL days.
DOWN TO NINE DAYS.
Suddenly the magnificent Cunarder, Per-
sia, appeared on the scene, and with its
$500 horse power engines smashed the rec
ord down to days and 81 hours. This
time continued to be improved upon until
the Inman steamer, City OF Berlin, reduced
it in October, 1875. to davs, 10 hours and
4S minutes. Then the Germanic, of the
White Star Line, dropped it 81 minuSes,
and the Brittanic, of the same line, in Octo-

TTENTIoN TO SPEED.

buccaneers that followed Sweyn, the Raven
Of the North.
NO ATTENTION TO SPEED.
But, during all this time but little atten-
tion was paid to rapid navigation, the sea-
man being perfectly satisfied if their
wretched old tubs remained on top of the
water, and in fair weather made progress in
some way or another, for it was not until
the middle of the fifteenth century that the
bowsprit-that invaluable addition to the
sailing power of a vessel-was invented.
From that time on the history of ship build
ing resolves itself into history OF discovery
of the various individual parts that added
so much to the sailing power and speed of
vessels. In Henry Wis reign the cum
brous and practically useless fourth mast
was done away with; then the high bows
and sterns fell gradually into disuse, as it
was found that they were impediments to
rapid sailing and of little use in rough seas.
In the sixteenth century cutter-rigged vessels
were in use on English waters, and still
greater and more rapid progress was made
during the following 100 years; but 1t was
not until the introduction OF steam and COLI
struction of iron vessels in the present GEN.
tury that the science made its most wonder
full progress.
1t must not be understood from the above
that steam as motive power was as yet IN.
discovered. Its possibilities were known TO
the sncients and It's practical application
described by Hero 130 B. c. Roger Bacon
experimental with it as early as the four.
teenth century, and Blasco de Garay con-
structed a rude steamboat at Barcelona in
1543, as did also a little later Papin in Ger
many, whose craft awakened such supersti-
tion that it was destroyed by the populace.
FIRST IN ACTUAL PRACTICE.
Jonathan Hulls, of Liverpool, seems to
have been the first to reduce the steam en-
gine to actual practice. As early as 1877,
he published a pamphlet describing his
stern-wheel boat, accompanying it with an
engraving, here produced. As will be OBJ
served, his idea embodied that of stern
wheel boat, although the virtue of the screw
propeller was known early in the history of
steam. The actual inventor is not known,
although he who first reduced the invention
to practice should be given the credit, and
that man was John Stevens, of Hoboken,
n. j., who built steam propeller two years
before Fulton, who has the credit of invent
ing steam navigation in his paddle-wheel
boat the Clermout, the idea OF which he
is said to have borrowed from Symington's
steamer Charlotte Dundas.
However, the first practical demonstration
in the way of thorough steam vessel was
the Savannah, which made the trip across
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-26

years, when the same company brought out
the ill-f ted Oregon. This vessel lett
Queenstown on Saturday, April 13, 1884,
and her passengers spent the following
Saturday night in New York City, having
made the run in days, 10 hours and 10
minutes. Then the Cunard Company
brought out the Umbria and Etruria, the
first named crossing in 1883 in davs, 2
hours and % minutes, and the Etruria in
half an hour less. But faster vessels than
they we're being completed. The Inman
liners, City of New York and City of Paris,
are now the ocean greyhounds. Both are
famous ships, and are worthy of special at
tention, because they mark q new era in fast
shipbuildiug.
THE TWIN SCREW IDEA.
The idea Of twin screws is as old as steam
navigation, but these two ships are the first
applications of the principle to ocean packet
service. The City of Paris was the first to
demonstrate its ability. Leaving Queens
town on July Is, 1889, she arrived at Sandy
Hook in days, % hours and 10 minutes,
1t can be imagined what a great stir this
performance made, but this was not the verv
best that this wonderful ship could do. for.
going back to Queenstown, she started again
for New York like a whirlwind, pounding
the record down to days, 10 hours and IS
minutes. This great voyage was completed
on August %, 1889, and remains the record.
There are many of the opinion that these
fast ships are dangerous. This is a great
error. The truth is that the swiftest vessels
are the safest, as it is possible for them to
have hole punched in the engine room or
bulkheads and still float Therefore, il
ApOstoloff, the Russian engineer, or anyone
else, can make the wonderful vessels claimed
BY them, they will find many ready to run
the risk of a voyage, secure in the belief
which has held good in the past, that there
is less danger on the sea than there is in
shore travelling. W. G. KAUFMAN.
