The largest sailing ship in the world is said to
be in the possession of France. Her name is
the France. She is vessel with five masts; ON
four of which square sail is carried. The
length is 344 feet. with beam of 49 feet. The
cargo which the France could carry is no less
than 81, 200 tons. The snip is built of STEEL her
masts and yards being of the same material.
She is at present trading between France and
the Pacific.
The biggest ruby in the world is found in the
Car of Russia's crown. which has the distinc-
tion of being the finest ever worn by any
sovereign. In shape t resembles a bishops
mitre, and on its crest is cross composed of
five superb diamonds. which support the "Dig-
gest' ruby. A foliated arch, composed of II
magnificent diamonds supports this cross, and
on each side of the arch is hoop Of 80 pearls,
than which there is none handsomer in the
world.
The biggest flower in the world was recently
discovered by Dr.. Alexander Schadenberg. 1t
was found on Mount Parag which is situated
on one OF the Southeastern Philippine Islands.
The native who accompanied Dr. Schadenberg
called the flower "bolo." The bolo in bloom is
five-petaled flower, nearly yard in diameter,
as large as carriage wheel. A single flower

it isn't a rare and curious piece Of jewelry.
Nobody is frying doughnuts or pulling candy.
1t is BenedIct's chronometer. Why men are
SO awfully concerned about their watches is
one OF those queer things, like running block
and up SO steps of elevated stairs to catch a
train running on two minutes headway. The
look on mans face as he elbows his way to
the front, watch in hand is something of great
moment. He carefully compares his time
piece with the ominous dial If he happens to
be pretty close in point OF time, big, round
smile OF satisfaction spreads over his face and he
resumes his swinging pace down Broadway as
one who has just had a load removed from his
mind. If he is very close indeed he will stop

GUS glance at the more uncertain dials Of his

But the man who is Regulating his

most deserving OF our commiseration. He
loses flesh visibly, or takes to drink as o sort of

Directors Who Do Not Direct.

The questions whether or not directors direct,
and if they do or don't what is the extent and
measure of their liability will probably not be
fully settled with decision in the tunnel case
but the trial of Depew and his business asso-
ciates will rnau.estionably serve to narrow
down the now vague relations between corpora.
tions and the public to something tangible to
the ordinary comprehension. There are in this
city quite number of professional directors.
That is to say, there are numerous respectable
and respected individuals who have no other
business than the alleged business of directing.
Their names are enrolled upon the engraved
paper of several to a dozen corporations. They
meet regularly with this board and that board,
skipping joyously, as we may say, from flower
to flower at SO much per skip, every working
day in the week. Sometimes the recompense
is SIS minute, that length of time being usually
sufficient to conform to the law by registering
t'presept" Sometimes it Is a good dinner or a
$40 gold piece, or both. In almost every case
this sort of director is the holder of but
single share and has no interest whatever in
the business of the company beyond that small
bonus for attendance.
The professional director knows aud cares
absolutely nothing about the affairs of some of
the corporations of which he is a legal super
visor. And the less he NEEDLES with those af-
fairs the better he is liked He is q director
because of his wel-known respectability. He
is of unquestionable moral strength. His only
culpabiity lies in his false position. His sin is
one OF omission. Tie public believe him re-

PITTsBURG, SUNDAY, APR ls. 1891.
ORDER MUST RULE.

The reports that disorder was again re-
sorted to in the coke regions yesterday, If
confirmed by further investigation, will con-
vict the strikers of bad faith in their prom
ises 10 maintain order. Especially if it is
true that dynamite has been used to destroy
property it will utterly turn the public SYM
pathv against the cause for which such de-
spicable agencies are used.
The troops were withdrawn on the express
reDresentations tnat order would be main
tanned without their presence. Such pledges
should not have been necessary, as the laws
ought to be supreme without any pledges.
But since disorder had preceded the call for
military authority, and the promise OF good
order secured their withdrawal, the re-
newaI OF riots within forty-eight hours after
thev were Withdrawn will impress the pub
lie with the belief that such promises are
worthless. The State authorities will be
exposed to sharp criticism for having placed
reliance on such worthless pledges; but the
severest reaction cannot but be against
those who made the promises, evidently
with the intention that they should be
broken.
Itshould be made especially plain that this
country has no toleration for dynamiters,
If anv of the strikers have been using ex-
plosives TO destroy property, they have fur
nished good reason for using the most stren-
uous means to secure their punishment.

What a Smash Up Revealed.

The same is true of another feature of daily
life in the metropolis. As the outof.town man
strolled along Broadway in the vicinity OF
Cortlandt and Wall streets studying the crush
ing novelties of city life, one of those big
wheeled trucks came along, causing the earth
to tremble and the tympanum to swell to burst
ing under the weight and noise of the long,
heavy iron girders slung beneath, These i'm
mense iron beams held the right of way un-
questioned and undisputed. The powerful
Norman horses struck fire from the smooth
stone blocks at every step. AS they were
turned toward a side street and the girders
commanded the entire width of Broadway, in
Guiding a portion of the opposite sidewalk,
something gave way and Broadway was hope
holed in there indefinitely like rats in a trap
swear and howl and dance frantically about?
Not bit of ii. The driver of the unfortunate
truck simply and silently climbed down and
blanketed his steaming horses. Other truck
men and the Broadway carmen rushed in and
began working with will to break the block
ade. A couple of hundred pedestrians stood
by and occasionally volunteered advice. When
the difficulty had been overcome they heartily
cheered the workers. who scattered back to
their respective teams, and all went on as be-
fore, There pervaded that crowd a degree of
calm and self-sustaining philosophy that would
have done credit to the most distinguished field
marshal that ever lived.

THE NATIONAL POLICY.

Before the commercial convention at
Kansas City went to pieces on the rocks OF
the tariff, legal tenders and other political
issues, it improved the opportunity by in
dorsing the building of canals from the
Mississippi to Lake Michigan, from the
upper Mississippi IS Lake Superior, and
from headwaters of the Ohio to Lake Erie.
In this respect the convention recognized
two important facts. The first is that the
improvement and connection OF the internal
waterways of the country furnishes the most
complete solution of the transporta ton
problem that is possible, securing the
cheapest freight charges for thegreat staples
of transportation. The second is that
the connection of the lake system
with the river system will give con-
nected water routes practically furnishing
transportation for the entire country be-
tween the Appalachian range and the
Rocky Mountains. 1t may be that the con-
veution did fully take in the magnitude of
the plan to connect this system of water
ways with the ocean by an enlargement of
the Erie canal or by new canal through
Pennsylvania or Maryland; but its recogni-
ton of the fact that connected system of
waterways is a national project, is broader
view than has usually been taken.
This is the first Endorsement of the canal
projects which THE DISPATCH has been
urging, by body of national scope. 1t
takes the right ground that the project of
internal waterways planned to reach all
sections of the country, is one for the whole
nation to support.

railway belonging to other people. He de-
scribes the processes by which they first
discredit the value of such property and
depreciate its stock, indicates that such a
process may be followed up by creating a
money panic, breaking down values to
prices expressive OF the degree of panic, and
all the while secretly buying up the depre-
ciated stock of the company they desire TO
control. By this scheme of plunder,"
more wholesale than the operations of the
first Marlborough, the control OF q property
of immense possibilities is secured at mere
fraction of its actual value by the thimble-
rigging of the stock market
This feature certainly justifes the belief
that His Grace of Marlborough has been
studying our system Of corporate control
with decided results. He may not have
mastered il all. Such details as the owner
ship of industries which furnish traffic st
prohibitive rates in order that independent
shippers may be crowded out; preferential
rates to the friends or partners of railway
managers; the wheels within wheels of con-
struction companies, freight lines and pri-
Vate car companies, have not yet been as
simulated by him. But he presents sketch
of one notoriously successful practice which
may be copied with profit by the admirers of
corporate methods who have quoted his
words of praise so promptly.

Slowly Drying Up.

1t Is Near Tanganyika, Africa. and Is
Slowly Drying Up.
Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.1
Lake Hukwa is about 400 miles long and from
80 to 40 miles wide. The lake lies in a very
barren, and inhospitable country, in which re-
spect it forms a great contrast with the sur
rounding regions, which are among the most
fertile and prosperous in Africa. The lake is
east of Lake Tanganyika, and about 60 miles
from it in about longitude 800 east of Green
wich.
The parallel of 50 south latitude crosses the
lake, and the sheet of water extends much
more to the south and east than is indicated by
the dotted lines on our map. Its waters are
dark in color, brackish, muddy and quite un-
drinkable.
A boy who went into the lake to bring
specimen of its water to Mr.. Cross had to go
distance of 800 yards before he could fill his
bottle. and then he was knee deep in mud The
lake is apparently the shrunken vestige of
much greater lake. Trees are pointed out to
the explorer as having few years ago been at
the waters edge. though they were now several
miles from the lake.
There are no hippopotami. crocodiles or
canoes in the dark, uninviting waters. as far as
Mr.. Cross could ascertain. The mud on the
shores is really form of lime, and is covered
With a cruStaceous deposit of white salt. There
has been no rain in the neighborhood for two
years, and the Sonque river, which enters the
lake, seems to lose itself to great extent in
the sand as it approaches the lake. 1t may be
inferred, therefore, that Lake Hukwa is rapidly
evaporating. All the natives affirm that there
is no outlet. and Mr.. Cross thinks that this is
the fact

The DISPATCH has received the following
from Derry station, P. r. R. AS the opening
effort of the fishing season it is worthy of notices
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Yesterday q message was received bv the oper-
ator stationed at Derry that j. McCabe, assistant
trainmaster, and E. O'Brien, roundhouse fore
man, had caught monster salmon Ia the Cone
maugh, and asking for assistance on arrival of
mail train The train, due at Derry at $3.50 p. NJ,
was anxiously awaited by hundreds OF employees
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t did not arrive
however, until 7:15 P. M, being delayed by jour
mails on baggage car running hot. caused by the
baggage master insisting OH having the monster
laid in the car over the trucks The fish, after
being unloaded, was placed on the track scales Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and weighed ITs
pounds. Messr5. McCabe and O'Brien both state
they were fully four bours getting the monster
out of the water. Your correspondent sought an
interview with the above named gent emen, but
was not successful on account of both being COM
pletely worn out with the days sport.
Late last night the butcher of the Cooperative
Meat Market, assisted by Mr.. George Yonker,
cut the fish up and found in Its stom ach a small
black bear hide that Dir. Z. Pitcairn shot at Hill
side several years ago. After supplying Messrs.
McCabe and O'Brien and giving the head, liver
and tail to Mr.. Yonker, the remainder was divided
among the charitable institutions of our town,
