SPEED OF SHIPS
How Shall the Future Ship be made to In
crease Its Speed.

How Shall the future ship be made to In
crease Its Speed.
1t is common experience with shipown.
ers and shipbuilders to have propounded to
them means whereby even thirty knots per
hour may be realized and these backed up
by elaborate calculations as proof, but
which, when Investigated, are found, like
those of well know writer of scientific
romance, to be wanting in some little de-
tail. insignificant at first sight, but abso-
Iutely essential to complete the proof. So
far no great departure from the existing
form of ship, nor from the method of pro-
pulsicn, has resulted in obtaining higher
speed than is common with ordinary ships
of the same dimensions; and in nearly
every case such departures have mortified
the inventors as well as disappointed the
public by turning out absolute failures;
and there is no good reason /. to suppose
that further successes than have already
been attained will be achieved in any other
way that by improving the conditions that
now obtain, both as regards form of ship
and methods of propulsion, inasmuch as
the physical causes which combine to re-
tard the motion of a vessel, the physical
forces wich are employed In overcoming
that resistance, remain to-day as they ever
were, and are--ln fact, nature lmmut-
able laws.
The commercial question is also one that
presses very hardly at all times and must
continue to do so more and more, as will
be seen later on. The Atlantic greyhound
of to-day is, in immersed form. SULTAN
TALLY that of the vikings craft of more
than thousand years ago.
And if we look to nature for our study
we shall find that cur swiftest fishes are not
unlike in general form to the submerged
part of a ship; and the comparison is the
more easily accepted when it is remember
ed that the fish is wholly submerged while
the ship is only partially so. The one has
to contend with waves +, and other surface
disturbances, and must perforce keep
above the water, while the other is free
from such disturbing elements and condi-
tions, and pursues its course in practical
ly smooth water.

WILL SURELY RESIGN.
CIarkson Says Senator Quay is in Earn


CIarkson Says Senator Quay is in Earn
est.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Speaking today
of the statement by Senator Quay that
he had decided TO resign the Craftsmanship
of the republican ma Ional committee, inn
mediately after election, Hon. J S. Clark
son said: 81 am able tO state
that this is true. Immediately
after election Qoay stated to his colleagues
of the executive committee that he
desired to resign as chairman; that he did
not deste TO do the detail work and still
more, felt that United States senator
ought not to be chairman of the national
committee CT any political committee.
His colleagues resisted this and persuaded
him not to resign. He renewed the wish
three or four .months afterward
and about the time of the Inauguration
insisted upon it. The judgment of the
committee was opposed to it. The sena-
tor was only changed from his purpose by
the advice and appeal of his colleagues.
His health was fraii at times and he de-
sired to be rid of the burden superim-
posed. When his health failed in the
senate and he went to Florida on his an
nual fishing tour, he stated to me that it
was his unalterable intention to resign.

The colossal thief of the year is 'Horcet
John" Bjrdslsy, Philld-lpha's ile.d of
integrity till within a few weeks pas: when
facts have been uneartheG TO overturn the
dream Of purity. After weary days of
work by experts the account, of this ras-
cal have finally been unraveled and the re.

and besides this sank 81 l2l 900 in the
Keystone bank wrock-a total of nearly
$4,000, 600 belonging to the city of Phla-
delphia and the state Of Pennsy lvania little
trace of the whereabouts of which can be
found. Enough has been discovered how
ever, to show that a goodly sum was dis
posed of in the way of gifts and loans to
the treasurer party friends and losses in
private speculation5.
In this connection another question has
arisen in the case of Mr.. Wanamaker. The
stock of the Keystone bank Is to be assessed
by the controller of the currency to the ex-
tent Of its face for the benefit of depos-
itors, and the query is at once pro-
pounded; To whom does the stock
standing in Mr.. Wanamaker's name
really belongp If to him, his assessment
will amount TO $1,000 900; but if not then
apparently tne depostors will lose just so
much more, as IN that case the Wanamaker
stock could not be connected with any re-
sponsible party, Lucas being dead and
Marsh having fed. It remains for Con-
troller Laey to decide whether or not Mr..
Wanamaker is liable for these shares, and
his decision will do much to clear up some
of the mysteries surrounding the person of
the Philadelphia Sunday school teacher and
high priest of incarnate goodness.

man is melowcd by such Il meeting. The
tender sentiment which age feels for
youth is strengthened tne love of old

the nmple sports of child

seemed gone forever. Man is the better
for such a reunion. All the good qualities

casion, and he returns to the duties of the

ments to render more tender and pleas

THE LADY CASHIER.
Very Good Love Story Translated from

Il is useless to describe the lady cashier;

Did my glances express my feelings? |

we loved ip silence. 1t took Just that

to speak to her, as had to work my way
from table No. Z, which | occupied, up to

ment so long waited for; JOY nearly suffo
Gated us and turned our brains; | dipped
my napkin into the decanter and poured
coffee into my pocketbook, while she piled
up sous on places and dropped sugar Jumps
into the money drawer. Only a few
words were needed to bind US to one an
other, and no one else in the room suspect
ed anything, when, affecting to be reading
the letters inside my hat, | murmured
from the depths of the lining: 81 love
thee
She, while apparently busy in drying a
punch bowl, replied: II love thee

pared the papers ! tried to describe my be-
loved.
"You will see her!, cried in ecstasy.
She is blonde, slender, beautiful-she
has the hands of a queen and the throat of
goddess. For seven long years | have
loved her
Suddenly the notary asked in a careless
way, ''Is she short or tall?'
This simple question overwhelmed me
and | could only answer, 81 don't

What he exclaimed, you have loved
her for seven years and can not tell if she
Is short or tall ?"
1T is the solemn truth | have never
seen her except in a restaurant; | am so
exact and so punctual that | had never
been able to devote any time to her except
my breakfast hour, that is from FIVE
minutes past ii to FIVE minutes before

her waist.
As finished speaking the door opened
and my bride appeared. With cry of
dismay fell unconscious. The beloved OF
my heart, the angel of my dreams was the
possessor of two wooden legs.

CuIStU RUGS.
Pref Henry Tells How to Destroy Them
ON Corn.

ON Corn,
The following circular, Just issued from
the agricultural experiment station at the
university, will be Of interest to many
suffering farmers:
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.
MADISON, Wis, July 20, 81.
The numerous letters received at this
station in relation to the chinch bug show
that this pest has already done much
harm to wheat and barley in some sections
Of the state. and that it is now moving
from the grain fields into the corn fields.
Any remedies tried must be quickly
applied. Ii is now too late to introduce
infected bugs, such as have been sent out
by Prof. Snow, of Kansas The kerosene
emulsion remedy here recommended is be-
ing successfully used by Or. 4. Fred Rus
SELL of Poynette, Columbia county, as was
learned from personal inspection.
How to make the emulsion-Shce half
pound of common bar soap; put it in
kettle with one gallon of soft water and
boil until dissolved; put two gallons of
kerosene in a chrrn or stone jar and to it
add the boiling hot soap solution; chUrn
from twenty to thirty minutes, when the
whole viii appear creamy. If properly
uaAS hu t.A Will StHtidNc pub "uSH lew
drcpS of the emulsion are placed on a
piece of glass. TO each gallon of the
emulsion add eight gallons OF water and
stir. Apply with sprinkhng pot.
Every farmer should learn 60 make this
emulsion aS it is a most useful insecticide
1t is especially valuable for killing lice on
cattle and hogs. Paris Green will not
kill chinch bugs.
If the bugs are not vet in the corn plow
a deep furrow along the side of the field
they will enter ard throw into it stalks of
green corn. When the bugs have accu-
mulated on the corn sprinkle with the
emulsion. Put In fresh stalks and sprinkle
whenever the bugs accumulate. If they
break over the barrier as they probably
will. run a new furrow IA few rows back in
the corn and repeat. Where they have
attacked stalks of standing corn DESTROY
by shrinking.
If the remedy is tried it should be used
persistenty. To kill one lot of bugs an a
then stop will do little or no good. Whe n
he bugs threaten to destroy as much as
36ve or ten acres it will pay for one or two
men to devote their whole time to the
warfare. 0nly part of each day, how
ever, will be needed. Some corn will bt
lost at best, but the most of the field should
be saved.
Anyone trying the remedy is requested
to send the results of his experience to
this station.
