New Lake Steamers.

A view of the style of boat for which
the Anchor line has let contracts with
the Union Dry Dock company, Of
Buffalo, Globe Iron Works company, of
Cleveland, and Detroit Dry Dock COM
pany, of Detroit, is here presented.
According tosa late change in arrange
ments above deck, the forward house
will be moved aft about twenty or
thirty feet. leaving the space forward
for anchors, capstan, etc.
A new feature in the boats. which are
to be duplicated in all respects with
the exception of probably slight diff
ference in the proportion of engines,
Is the absence of sheer in their con-
struction. They will be built without
any sheer, that is. they will be the
same depth at ends as in the
middle, and the gunwale will
be bevel line. In this there is said
to be a saving of $4,000 to SIS, 900 on
boats of this class The boats are to

The DISTANCE of the SUN.

Many of the readers may have seen
the transit of Venus in 1882, when the
earth's beautiful sister planet, moving
in its orbit exactly between the earth
and the sun, appeared upon the bright
disk of the latter in the shape of a
round black spot-a world in silhou-
cite. Although almost ten years have
elapsed, astronomers have hardly yet
completed the computations and dis
cussions required to give us the best
possible knowledge of the suns dis
lance that can be derived from the OBJ
servations made at that time.
Prof Anwers has recently published
the results of the observation made by
the German astronomers during both
the transit of 1882, and the previous
transit of Venus in 1874. After care
fully comparing the measurements
ing, as nearly as possible, all the
known errors, he finds for what is
known as the suns parallax, $3.50
seconds. This simply means that half
of the diameter of the earth as seen
from the sun would subtend an angle
of eight seconds and eight hundred and
eighty onc-t housandths of a second.
The distance of the sun, as indicated
by the parallax given above, would he

Soap

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing any
sort of violence to it, re-
quires a most gentle soap,
a soap with no free al
kali in it.
Pears is supposed to
be the only soap in the
world that has no alkall
in it.
All sorts of stores sell

all sorts of people use it.

Facts About Kansas Trotting Horses,

Western Resources, Lincoln, Neb.,
the official paper of the Kansas TrOt-
ting Horse Breeders association, has
the following concerning Kansas
horses:
Seventy-nine Kansas bred trotters
and PAGERS have made records of 2:30
or better.
The fastest yearling trOtting bred
outside of Kentucky and California
was bred in Kansas.
Chas. Marvin, who drove the PalO
Alto horses to their worlds records,
was formerly a resident of Kansas.
Walter F., 2:lS, the grand circuit
campaigner, was bred in Kansas.
Kansas has three first-class mile
tracks, and will soon have another.
A Kansas bred thTee-year-Old PAGER
sold recently for $1,000.
A horse called BanquO, bought out
of an emigrant team at Junction City,
Kansas, and shipped to Boston, be-
came a campaigner and trOtted to a
record of 2:2l.
a Kansas bred colt won the twelve-
heat race at Independence, Iowa, the
longest contest on record.
Ethan Allen, the founder ofthe FAM
lily which bears his name, spent his
last DAYS and died, in Kansas.
Robert McGregor, 2:17!l one OF the
great sires of trOtterS was resident
/ Kansas a number of years.
Smuggler, 2:15l, champion of his
class from 1876 to 1884, was raised in
! Kansas.
One of the curiOsities sent out from
Kansas was a trOtting mare whose
sire was a saddle-gaited pony from
Missouri, and whose grandam was a
bronco pony. She took a record OF
2:27.
( Eleven Kansas horses have entered
the 2:3O list who trace to no known
source of trOtting blood; and one Kan
sas mare whose dam was brOnchO is
the dam of two $50 trOtters.
Secretary J. q. 4. Sheldon writes
in Resources the following: These
are the Kansas yeaIlings not eligible
to the Independence 5000 stake for
I two-year-olds in '92: Mary, 2:363;
Reddy, 2:46J; SilverscOff, $50 and
Robin Red, 2:52; a pretty fast band OF
Youngsters for an infant State like
Kansas. If Mr.. Williams wants some
fast racing two-year-Olds he had bet
Ter let them in. Who would have
thought a year ago that i'm yearling
records for 1891 Kansas would have
so far led all States, except California:
Then there are a whole lot more o.
the same age that have been starters
in races but have nOmarks fastertha
three minutes, but have shown theil
speed and race horse qualities. Look
out for Kansas twO-year-Olds in '92.

Nickel Plated Iron.

The plating of iron with nickel. at
first attempted as an experiment with
no specially useful result, is now ac-
complished successfully by pressure
between rolls. at a welding heat, the
nickel being recovered from the clip
pings and shearings of the plates by
the action of dilute sulphuric acid at
temperature of - degrees, Cent. by
this means the iron is dissolved
and the nickel obtained in the form
of thin sheets as it was melted upon the
iron According to the Australian
journal which describes this unique
process, the operation is complete when
the evolution of hydrogen ceases, even
fresh acid at the same temperature has
practically no effect. But, though the
separation of the two metals is thus
apparently perfectly made, curious
fact is noted, namely, that when the
residual nickel is subjected to examina-
ton, it is found to differ from its orig
inal composition, the amount OF iron
present being notab bly, increased.

having their hammer heads normally
about sixteenth of an inch below the

piece the pistons of the different cylin-

BY drawing in the breath, and sucking

The Hairless Horse.

Some weeks ago we gave a descrip-
ton and illustration of horse with
phenomenal growth of the hair of the
name and tail, the rest of his coat being
quite normal. In the present issue we
give an example of the opposite ex-
treme. from life study of the curious
animal portrayed. This is horse abb
solutely destitute of hair. Neither
neck nor tail nor any part of the body
shows the least hirsute growth. The
texture of the skin is silky and smooth;
the color is almost full black. The
animal is of rather heavy type, and
with his delicate surface does not pro-
duce any unpleasant impression. There
are said to be two such horses known
TO exist in this country. One of them
was foaled in the West; the one we
illustrate is credited to Australia.
The skin in one of these animals Is
affected curiously, the perspiratory
function seeming to be absent. The
