The Largest Ships Afoet.

AfOHt CtQHtOciS OOEHQt
The French 5-master France is the largest
sailing ship ahoat. She was launched 10
September, 1890, at Patrick, and her dimen-
sions are as follows: Length 361 feet,
breadth 40 feet, depth 20 feet Her net
register tonnage is 8, 1924, with sail area of
$4,000 square feet; and not long since she
carried an enormous cargo Of $500 tons of
coal on her maiden passage from Barry to
Rio de Janeiro, without mishap, after
thlrty-two days sail, or within one day of
the fastest passage on record. She is square
rugged on four masts, but carries fore~and-
aft canvas on the fifth mast Her masts are
only 100 feet high; nevertheless, she looks
heavily spared. This leviathan is fitted
with a cellular double bottom, and can car
ry 1000 tons Of water ballast, thus reducing
the expense of ballasting her to mini
mum.
The largest British ship is the Liverpool,
OF $3.50 tons, built Of iron on the Clyde.
She is 333 feet long, 48 feet broad, and %
feet deep. Her four masts are each square
rugged, but she is far from clumsy aloft is
easily handled and has run fourteen knots
an hour for whole day. We were much
impressed by her exceptional size, but for
beauty she compares unfavorably with
such a ship as the Thermopyle, or large
wooden built ship Of America, having
bright, lofty spars and decks as white as a
hounds TOOTH Iron decks DO not lend thern-
selves readily to adornment. Next in size
is the Palgrave, of 3,07S tons.
The United States ship Shenandoah of
Bath Me-, built by Messrs. Sewal q Co. of
that port, Is the largest wooden vessel in
existence. She is 1888 tons register, and
will carry about 5000 tons Of heavy cargo.
She has just left San Francisco, Cal. with
10000 centals Of wheat, worth $l75, 900.
This is the largest grain cargo on record.
Another wooden vessel. the Rappahannock,
also built ut Bath, Me-. is ,053 tons regis
ter, cost 1926, 600; and zoe tons Of Virginia
oak, together with 100000 feet of pine
timber, were used in her construc-
ton. The largest British wooden ship is
the Three Brothers, of 1888 tons register,
built at Boston, United States. in 1855. She
is 323 feet long, 48 feet broad and 81 feet
deep. a further conception may be formed
OF the carrying capacity of such ships when
we mention that the Liverpool brought 90
900 bales of jute from Calcutta TO Dundee,
and the Rappahannock too lbs, 000k cases of
petroleum from Philadelphia to Japan.

RICHFIELD NOTES.
RICHFIELD, Kan, April %.

f(lCHtlELD, Nall, "A pTn 81.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
1t is very generally conceded that the
time is near at hand when western Kan
sas shall unite in demanding of the gov
eminent the necessary appropriation for
an adequate system of irrigation, where
by the semi-arid plains that are now
only adapted to few of the cereals can
be turned into the most fertile region of
the earth.
Has not the general government
charged us the same FOR this semi-arid
land as it did for other tracts situated in
the most productive part of the earth!
We came here in good faith hoping to
verify the often advocated theory,
That when the sod which nature has
given the soil has been subdued coplous
rains would ensue:" but alas, we believe
this theory to be an exploded one and
cannot be entertained longer, and the
fact is staring us IN the face that
we are spending the best portion OF our
lives in vain work. Therefore, know
ing that we have placed many millions
in the Golfers of the government, We
deem it an inherent right that the gov
eminent should come to our rescue and
aid us by liberal donation to help re-
claim that for which we have paid our
hard earned money.
Many are the appropriations made by
the government to keep the water from
OVERLOOKING the planters plantation
along the Mississippi, and they are not
whit more true to the government than
we.
If we obtain this aid to make the
desert blossom as the rose, 1t must come
from the general government.
Therefore let US rise as unit and send
a man to congress to represent us as
congressman at-large who will be I'M
firing and ever found at his post work

Believing that Judge Gregory OF Gar

in it, or perhaps in the nation, 1t be

place him in position that he may be
able TO add more to the important work
which he mas already performed.
We believe that if ne was nominated

AN INLAND SEAPORT.

There are many persons throughout
the southwest who entertain seemingly
extravagant opinions of the possibilities
of the lower Mississippi river as COM
mercial highway, and great things are
expected to be accomplished for the west
and southwest through that agency. In
that connection the Springfield, Mo-,
Democrat says:
Ultimately the Mississippi river Will
be made navigable for great vessels from
the sea to Memphis. Memphis is great
collecting point for railways which will
feed the water line. So it is that the
great bridge which Is to be opened on
May ~ was deemed need and is now
proves itself to be of gigantic value.
Should the hoped-for be contaminated
in full it would be of inestimable advan-
tage to this section of the great south
west: it would bring tide water nearer to
us by half the distance than at present
and would reduce correspondingly the
transportation cost of export shipments
of our surplus products. This is certainly
among the possibilities-some are SAN
guine that it will be accompiished-but
it Will take time, labor and lots of
money to do it.

Feminist Fusion.

Chairman Taubenecks advice: Flu
sion means confusion and will lead 10
nothing else. We want every Democrat
and Republican to come with us and we
would like to have every office within
the gift of the people, but we can't afford
to secure either their votes or offices b..
bartering away our principles. The very
momeut we use them as trading stock
and peddle them around to the highest
bidder TO secure an office, we will sink
into oblivion and we ought to. There is
but one thing for us to do, keep in the
middle of the road Hoist the black flag
and neither give or accept any quarter
Any one who expects any of the old
parties to give us any financial reforms
by fusion, in my opinion, is a mental
deformity.

AS sort of clincher to an appeal to
the citizens of that place to stand BY
home industries and enterprises the
Kansas City Mail asserts that that city
''sends to Milwaukee annually one and
half million dollars for beer: it sends
half a million dollars to Minneapolis for
-four; it sends out hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually for tobacco and
cigars" If Kansas required any of
these commodities and should find it
necessary TO procure them at Kansas
City. the local dealers and consumers
could calculate with a degree of ac-
curacy how much more they would have
to pay for them by reason of the dis
criminative rate of freight tariffs in
addition to the per cent. of profit taxed
by the X. c. jobber. But the first item
not being needed, the second being pro-
duced at home, and the last named
being either produced at home or inn

entirely satisfactory to the Gould-Sage

a Kansas life of Shakespeare. &"

From the Topeka Capital.
One of the things we have to be proud
of in this state is that Kansas man IS
writing life of Shakespeare. This fact
would no doubt cause a smile IN some
part of the incredulous east If the an
nouncement were unaccompanied by
the authors name, but when it is known
that man who has undertaken this task
is Mr.. ID. w. Wilder, the scholar and
student, the statement will command
respect every place. The plan of the
work is unique and original OF course;
no subject would be treated by Mr.
Wilder III any other manner, and its APP
pearance will be looked for with great
interest. Mr.. Wilder has been studying
his subject with the view of the Life
for the last ten years, and hopes to com
plete MS manuscript perhaps inside Of
the coming year. Having been Shake
spearean student all of his own life no
man in the west is better fitted for such
an ambitious work,
