A REMARKABLE FACT about the Royal Soyer

BILE of the English line-of-battle ships, is that
she has been built and fully equipped for sea in
less than three years, a feat hitherto unrivaled
in the history OF naval architecture. Still more
noteworthy is the fact that the vessel was com
pleted for $4,000 less than the original esti
mates. The steam, gunnery and torpedo trials
OF the new sea monster have been Inads with
the most satisfactory results. With 9,7N
horsepower the ship made nearly seven

AN Athenian professor OF mathematics
named Damaskin, says a London dispatch, has
invented an ice locomotive which he expects
will carry him to the North Pole. He has given
an order for the construction Of large ocomo
tive after his pattern, and is now calling for
volunteers to accompany him to the Arctic
ocean. The locomotive is to have an unique
arrangement by which it lays and takes up the
rails as it runs. Short spikes on the underside
of the rails will make the latter temporarily
fast in the ice. The locomotive will be
operated by steam; and at the
time will throw out enough heat to keep
the travellers from suffering from cold.
One cab, attached TO the locomotive
is to carry the p DIVISION for the exploring party.
Tie locomotive and cab will be conyeyedin
parts to Spitz0ergen, Prof DamaskiE says, and
will there be put together. 1t will then be run
for the North Pole at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour. As Spitzbergen is about 600 miles from the
North Pole, Prof. Danaskin expects to reach
his destination in twenty hours. He allows
eight hours for his observations and twenty
hours for returning, so that the whole trip,
SpitZbergen and return, will be made in JusttWo
days. Prof. Damaskin hopes TO be ready to
start on the journey late in September or early
