OCEAN STEAMERS
Something About Their Speed and
Form.

Something About Their Speed and
Form.
The primary condition for high
speed is tineness of form, so that the
water at the bow OF the vessel may be
and thrown to one side,
and brought to rest again at the stern
and behind the vessel with the least
possible disturbance and the meas
IRE of efficiency OF form for the maxi
mum speed intended is inversely as
the height fthe waves of disturbance.
A ship that has been designed to at
tain speed of Is knots will, when
Loving at II knots, show a very
slight disturbance indeed, and in one
designed for 10 knots, when moving
at this lower speed, it will be scarcely
observable; but however fine the lines
of ship may be, she must at every
speed produce some disturbance, al
though it may be very slight, as the
water displaced by her must be raised
above the normal level and replaced
at the normal level; hence, at or near
the bow of a ship there is always the
crest of wave, and at or near the
stern the hollow of one. When a YES
sci il going at it's maximum speed,
and is properly designed for that
speed, the wave should not be very
high, nor should it extend beyond the
immediate neighborhood of the bow;
likewise the wave of replacement
should be the same at or near the
stern of ship, and the wake" or
disturbance of water left behind in the
track of the ship, should be narrow
SCribner.

Some Curious Legal NJ uIs ances.
The following are some IF the alleged
nuisances for which iniunctions and
damages have been asked from sym
pathetic courts and juries: In re-
cent English case an enthusiastic
amateur played daily eight hours on
a violoncello and on Sundays a little
longer some times. 20 add to the
misery caused, the player lived in a
fiat. The Judge before whom the case
came decided that three hours was
long enough for any human being to
play on violoncelIo and the injunc-
ton issued.
In q case before the Court of Com
mon Pleas some time ago in New York
q person was brought up for trundling
in carriage overhead his teething
baby, both by night and day. The
Judge, who must have been married
man, held that the noise was not I'M
reasonable and refused to interfere.
In another English case q chime of
bells at Deptford was not allowed to
ring because the noise was offensive to
a majority of the property owners in
the vicinity.
The newspapers recently mentioned
the sad case of discharged chorister
who took a horrible revenge on the
congregation by sitting in pew and
purposely singing out of tune.
Whether he was indicted or not for
disturbing public worship does not

A Kings Ambition.

The little King OF Spain, Alfonso
KILL, has his boyish ambitions, it.
seems, even though he is q king. He
is now five years old, and isno longer a
"baby king" Recently, it is related
by correspondent at Madrid, the
celebrated sculptor, Senior Querol,
was engaged to make q statue of the
young king.
The sculptor had great difficulty in
finding o. pose FOR his subject which
should be at once spirited and natural,
and sat one day in q brown study, re-
garding the boy as he looked out at
the window.
All at once the sound of band of
music was heard on the street. The
king sprang up, and brought his hand
to his forehead in the military salute.
"The flag, sir! the fag!" the boy ex-
claimed, "Salute it!'
The sculptor had found the pose he
sought, and made his statue repre-
sent the king in the act of saluting his
country's flag.
AS he was at work, the boy asked
the artist:
care you going to make me big?"
'"The statue will represent your
majesty little larger than you are, )"
said Senior Querol.
"WelI," said the five.year-old, 81
want you to make me very big, with a
long moustache!'

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.

Remarkable Contrast In the Effect
Of Two Polsons on the Complex
ion.
The slow absorption Of many pois
ons changes in some more or less
modified form the complexion, but
arsenic and ammonia show their effect
about as quickly as any. The popu-
lar belief that arsenic clears the COM
plexion has led many silly women to
kill themselves with it in small, con-
tinued doses.
1t produces waxy, ivory-like ap-
pearance of the skin during certain
stage of the poisoning, but it's terrible
after effects have become too we'll
known to make it of common use as
q cosmetic
The effects of ammonia upon the COM
pleXIOn are directly the opposite to
that of arsenic. The first symptom
of ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is q discOloration of the
skin of the nose and forehead. This
gradually extends over the face until
the complexion has q stained, blotch-
ed, and unsightly appearance. With
people who take ammonia into their
systems in SINAI II doses, as with
their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear SO soon.
The only effect of the poison that is
visible for a time is a general unwhole-
someness and sallowness of the COM
plexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it.
The use of ammonia in the manufact-
ures has greatly increased of late, and
it is unquestionably used as an adul-
terant in certain food preparations.
Official analysis have plainly showed
it's use even in such cheap articles of
every day consumption as baking
powders. The continued absorption
of ammonia in even minute quantities
as an aduIterant in food is injurious
not merely from it's effect upon the
complexion, but because it destroys
the coating of the stomach and causes
dyspepsia and kindred evils.

ity for the statement that, if to fifty

SILLY AND COSTLY.
The Unfortunate Outcome OF a De-
sire to Shine.

The Unfortunate Outcome OF a De-
sire to Shine.
Many wise and carefully considered
schemes have been brought to naught
by few thoughtless words. A tragi-
2al ILLUSTRATION of the text is furnished
by the New York Tribune. At IN enter
tainment last winter gentleman well
known in financial circles happened to
sit at dinner next to u very tnllia-
tive and sprightly young lady.
AS 1t Tell out, they were not intro
duCed to each other, but on reading
the card by the young woman's plate,
the gentleman became Interested, and
promptly engaged her in conversation,
He found her talk more interesting
than she dreamed of, and as she ran
on about a new pair OF ponies she in
tended buying, q proposed triple Eu-
rope to fit herself for her Newport sea-
son, and more OF the same SOrt-the
whole being nothing but lot of inn
aginary nonsense begOtten of q desire
to shine and dazzle.
When the ladies rose to 90, and her
neighbOr drew back his chair, he said,
gravely, 81 am very glad to have met
you, Miss A. | know your father;
pray tell him have had the pleasure
Of making your acquaintance"
Pleased with her supposed conquest,
Miss Vanity returned home, and ut
the breakfast table the next morning
told her people about the dinner and
Mr.. IS message. Her father, who
had seemed pale and careworn of late,
looked up with sudden interest.
"Mr. -, do you say?' he asked
quickly. 81 hope you made q good
impression. That mans opinion is
worth more to me today than any
other mans in New York"
The poor man had been struggling
through great financial difficulties, and
had finally all but effected an arrange
ment which would once more set him
on his feet; but alas! the compression
which his daughter had produced upon
the one man whose action would com
plete the pending negotiations was
such as to upset the entire plan.

Ready for the Next,

Two Yankee sailors strolled into a
show in Guatemala, where a pres.
tidigitateur was entertaining the.
audience. A parrot perched on the
back Of the bench where they sat.
After every surprising feat one sailor
would turn to the other with the
remark: "That was pretty good?
I wonder what will come next?"
This was repeated till it made the
parrot tired. Presently one of them
threw down a burning match with
which he had lighted his pipe. 1t
fell through crack on the floor and
into powder magazine. BIZ went

nothing was left but o hole in the

"You must either stop insulting

duct"

It was a long while ago, but it is
worth telling still. A correspondent
in the South writes that ayoungl lady,
whose sweetheart was in the Confed-
crate Army, received from him a letter
that had been struggled through the

and sent to Tennessee.
After reading the letter she went to

see q map. After q long search she
said she could not find the place where
Mr.. Was.
"Where is it, do you say, Mollie?'
asked her friend.
"Duranceville," replied Mollie, after
looking again at the letter.
Her friends and she still diligently
searched the map, but no such place
could he found. At last they persuad-
ed her to show them that part of the
letter. 1t read thus:

FISH AS FOOD.

The Idea That the Eating OF Fish
neous.
Though "fish days" as they were
once understood, are now optional,
the question discussed by a writer in
Temple Bar under the above heading,
is still q very important one. Re-
gardlng the properties of fish as food
there is still much to learn. The work
ing classes entertain usually an utter
contempt for it, and very few OF them
go beyond "a bIoater for breakfast"
or. 1.-TWO pennyworth of shrimps or
wrinkles" as supplement for their
Sunday afternoon tea. Zone popular
says the author, Sin connec-
ton with fish may be noticed-name-
ly, the oft-repeated assertion that the
eating ofthat particular food increases
brain power! No one who has studied
the subject can possibly believe the
assertion. A man might eat huge
portion OF fish every day of his life,
and on the day OF his death, if the
quantity of phosphorus (he brain
mvigorator) consumed were to be-
come visible, it would not amount
to more than might suffice to tip
a couple OF lucifer matches. Com
munities have existed that lived al
most solely on fish, but these Ichthy-
ophagists were certainly not famous
for intellectual attainments. Nor are
our fisher villages, in many of which
much fish is presumably consumed,
the seats OF any great amount of brain
power. None of our fisher folks are
remarkable for genius, or even for
what is called common sense; their
views of life and its responsibilities
being shrouded in q haze of supersti-
ton, which they lack sufficient strength
of mind to see through" 1t is inter-
esting, too, to note that in this ex-
pert's opinion Fishing is q profitable
occupation. The sea is vast, no seed
or manure is required to force the
great harvest, which brings to the fish
captors at first hand sum of six mil
lions sterling, and III all probability
costs the consumer thrice that sum.
No toll is exacted for leave to fish, no
rent is required for permission ogath
er the harvest of the sea; the teeming
waters OF the mighty deep are free to
all who choose to cast their lines or
nets into them"

TWO Men Made a Bet In City Hall
Park and Didn't Find Out.
There was new bird in City Hall
Park recently. It's first notes were
heard about 4 O'Clock, just as the
lucky dogs began to get away from
the banks and law offices and toride
uptown in the Broadway cars along
with the nice girls that had been down
town to "see papa" or "brother
George" Opinions varied among the
pedestrians along Broadway rs to the
nature Of the bird. The chirping was
shrill but rather faint, and when one
man pointed to the bough of the
UIm domcsticus and insisted that the
little songster was there, another was
equally insistent that the piping came
from the Ieafy boughs OF the Fraxmus
excelsior further on.
One by one crowd gathered, only
to disntegrate and 90 off with rush
when their patient eyes failed to dis
cover n feather or n wing, scarlet, yell
low, or dingy brown. At last there
were left only the two who first heard
the chirruping, each still with an ear
aloft.
