Few people haSese.y idea of the size OF
the tunnels on great ocean steamers.
If you ask the aHb half dozen people you
meet for their esd Sstr it is not likely that
one of them will lasns figure one half
the actual size. Nest persons would say
that the diameter Of the largest steamer
funnel is four to six feet and would want
to wager that it was not more than eight
feet. How far from the actual size such
guesses are may be understood when it is
stated that the funnel of the Etruria meas
ures little over eighteen feet in diane
ter. At even short distance away this
can hardly be believed. 1t gives an idea
of the enormous size of the big steamers.
We have grown SO accustomed to them
nowadays that we accept them as mat
ter of course.-Blakely Hall in Brooklyn

NY IDEAL.

He must be dark and handsome
He must be tall and strong,
He must be brave and dashinp.
He must not hate too long.
He must be kind and loving,
He must be strong and true.
He must be loyal in his love.
Or else he will not do.
In friendship he's answering,
And has social air,
Whether in war he's serving.
Or love. he must be fair.
A woman's face he should respect,
Although he does not love it,
And as for any cruel jest,
Why he should be above it.

In any CT his ways,
Should answer yes where'er he can
Be gentle in his ways.
His mind should be alert and bright,
His heaft be pure and free,
To labor, wait, command, obey,

Be earnest, free and brave,

Experiments with Dry and Moist Air.

Experiments with Dry and Moist Air.
A series of experiments has been made
with regard to the familiar fact that not
only dry high temperatures are more easily
borne than moist, but dry cold causes
much less discomfort than moist cold.
Dogs, fasting or fed, being observed in an
air calorimeter, it appeared that in all
cases moist air increased the loss of heat
by conduction and radiation. York

The Terrible Camera.

Che day cannot be far distant when it
will become necessary for the lawmakers
of the land to legis1ate against the camera
upon the same lines and upon the same
principle that it has already been found
necessary to legislate against the carrying
of concealed weapons. There is always a
theory that the general good sense of the
community will regulate these things, and
very likely in the long run the good sense
of the community-or the Indifference of
the community, which comes to the same
thing, by allowing a thing to slip out of
sight altogether-fulfills the function thus
optimistically allotted to it; but in the
meantime the irritation of the nuisance de-
mands some more speedy and drastic
remedy.
1t is the opinion of the editor, reached
after careful study of the situation, and
temperate and dispassionate review
thereof, that for an amateur to be found
going about with an ordinary camera
should be made misdemeanor punishable
by confiscation of the instrument and
fine to be regulated according to circum-
stances. To be. found with a detective
camera should .tzR amateur be punished
by imprsonme3 dse; in professional
by instant deatf Bxqd these precise but
mild laws be f1s snd riNd1y enforced,
there would be + vary notable change in
the comfort and. in the moral tone of the
community.
1t is impossibh4At there should be any
high average Of 5ltal feeling in the land
as long as the Genera fend is daily and
hourly allowed Il. tranple upon every feel
ing of individual liberty and freedom; and
unless something's done to check this rapid
ly growing evil, who knows whether civil
zation will be able even to last out the
century?-Bosten Courier.

A City Destroyed by Silence.

Amycl@, if the old legend of it's fate is to
be relied upon, actually persisted through
silence. The legend concerning the unique
end of this ancient city is as follows: Amy
cle was a town of Laconia, founded by the
Lacedemonian king Angela. 1t was an
independent city for many years, but was
finally conquered by the Spartans. The
city had been SO often alarmed by false
rumors of projected Spartan invasion
that at last, weary of living in a state of
absolute terror, it was decreed that it
should be made a public offense to report
the approach of an enemy. So, when the
Spartans at last actually appeared before
the city, no one dared to warn the officials
of their approach, and thus they were able
to take the town with scarce an effort.
There is, it must be admitted, another
silence" myth concerning Amyclse. Ser
vius says that the city was founded by
Pythagoreans, forbidden by laws of their
order to speak of or to harm serpents. The
result was that the snakes from the hills
sought the precincts of the city, and, no
one daring to speak of it to his neighbor or
to harm the Shiny creatures, one by one
the inhabitants left, until finally the city
was completely turned into snake den.-
