will be pushed with all possible speed. it is
hardly likely that either of the boats will
be ready for service before the summer OF
1898.
Though the ships are not absolutely guar
anteed to be fvr-day boats, they are guar
anteed to average twenty-one knots an hour
in the open sea. This will be their speed Tor
average trips, but if pushed for record
trip they will be able to do considerably
more than twenty-one knots an hour; In
fact, 1t is an open secret in Glasgow that tne
Farchild Company, if permitted to build
boats with view to speed only, offered to
give the Cunard Company vessels capable
of an average Of twenty-five and one-half
knots an hour.
While speed is of course, OF vital import
ance the Cunard Company has other consld-
erations to take into account. Its new boats
must be made to pay, and in order to pay
they must carry great number OF tlrst-class
passengers. The new vessels Will be con-
structed so as to carry about 600 lrst-clasS
passengers-yery nearly third more than
the Teutonic or Majestic can carry.
As will be noticed in the cut, the new
Cunarders are to have only two masts IN
stead Of three. as on the last White Star and
Inman boats. There are no sparS, and the
rigging has been reduced 10 minimum. An
other peculiar feature Is the VIDE separation
OF the tunnels, the first being very close be-
hind the foremost and the other one little
forward OF the second mast. This is attrlbu-
table to the peculiar way in which the boil
ers will be placed. They will be arranged
with artcular reference TO ease and speed
In coaling tie fires and economy in fuel.
The Fairfield Company has so many new
ships on hand now that 1t has made radical
changes in the management Of its yards.
The company has induced DR.. Elgar to re-
sign his position as Director Of the Govern
ment Dock Y ards for the Admiralty TO &C
cept the post of responsible naval architect
and consulting representative in London for
the Fairfield Company. DR.. Elgar will leave
the Admiralty in October, and the new
Cunard boats will be built entirely under
his supervision.
Prior to joining the Admiralty six years
ago DR.. Elgsr was Professor Of Naval Archl-
lecture and Marine Engineering in the Unit
versity of Glasgow. BE was one OF the
directors of the Fairfield Company, and Is
probably better known among American
ship-builders from his connection in Gas-
Cow than from his post in the Admiralty.
Absolutely nothing has been decided or
even suggested vet about naming the new
vessels. The Cunard people did not decide
upon the name of the Etruria or the Umbria

How spooIs Are Made,

Almost all the spools now made are pro-
duced from brentwood, and the machinery
used in their manufacture has been brought
to such a degree of perfection as to reduce
their cost to the lowest possible figure. The
wood is first sawed into sticks four or five
feet long and seven-eighths of an inch to
three inches square, according to the in
tended size of the spool. These sticks are
thoroughly seasoned, sawed INTO short
blocks and dried in hot air kiln at the
time they are sawed, holes being bored per-
pendicuarly through each block, which is
set on end under rapidly revolving, long
shaped auger. At this stage one whirl of
each little block against some sharp knives
that are turning at lightning speed fashions
it into a spool after the manner of the pat
tern provided, and this, too, at the rate Of
one second for each set Of knives. A row
of small boys feed the spOOl-makiug ma
chimes by simply placing the blocks in a
spout, selecting the best and throwing out
the knotty and defective stock. The ma
chine is automatic, excepting the operation
performed by the boys. After turning the
spOols are placed in a large drum aud re-
volved rapidly until polished.-Ex.

She was a tiny little girl, with dirty, sun

The ground has already been cleared in

Bids for the shafting and engines have been

feet beam. They will be driven by engines
of the most recent type up to $4,000 horse
power, while the TeutOnic is of 1000 horse
power. A report was circulated that the
Cunard Company was going to follow the
lead of the latest American war-ships and
adopt triple propellers. This is not the

How He Gratifies His Taste

a young New Yorker, the son of we'll

a very peculiar fad.
Among his other accomplishments he is
an expert viol0ncellst. There is music
