EVOLUTION OF STEAMSHIPS

The past four hundred years has
shown no greater advancement in any
line than in the shipping of the world
as exampled by the recent news from
Glasgow of the launch Of the new
Cunarder, Lucania From the little
Santa Maria of 800 tons, in which Col
umbus braved the storms of the bois-
ferrous Atlantic, to the recently com
pleted ocean greyhound of $4,000 TONS
with her engines Of q, 200 horsepower,
is an advancement which is difficult
for the ordinary mind to comprehend.
While for three hundred and fifty
years the advancement in marine archi-
lecture was very slow and vessels Of
steam were unknown and sailing YES
sells hardly passed 1000 tons, almost
every other branch Of progress was
making steady development toward
the perfection of the present day. The
marine architecture in its present state
of perfection is the growth of the past
fifty years, the progress made since
Fulton first ran his crude steamboat
being little short of the miraculous.
The demand for faster and more
commodious steamers for European
travel has been so great during the
past ten years that one company has
outrivaled another until 1t seems as If
today, with the ocean record lowered
to five and half days, that we must
have reached the greatest perfection to
which marine architecture and the
power of steam can be brought, but as
no one company has thus far been
allowed to hold the supremacy for
more than a few years, other steamers
will doubtless be built that will still
further demonstrate mans skill and in
genuity in utilizing the power of steam
and the strength of metals. The rails
ing of the American flag, on Washing
toms birthday. over the Clyde built
steamer New York, while not APP
proved Of by many, will be the means
of placing that flag over several other
vessels of the same class, built in
American yards by United States
workmen, from plans furnished by
American designers and from the pro-
ducts of our own country, as one Of the
conditions Of the granting Of an Amer
lean registry to these two vessels is that
two Others of equal speed and capacity
shall be built at once in American
yards. Not many years ago American
wooden ships were known the world
over as the finest that sailed the ocean,
and up to the time of the war Amer
lean clippers held all the best records
for speed, and indications point toward
American iron ships taking the stand
ing among The commerce of the world
so long held by the wooden clippers.
That iron steamers can be built by the
United States has been demonstrated
by the new war vessels recently COM
pleted in this country, and with more
encouragement from congress the stars
and stripes will float over the steamers
OF other lines in New York where the
English ensign has so long had almost
undisputed possession,

Manufacturing Cheap Gas,

While the jewellers in cities are wait
ing to be emancipated from the grievous
thraldom Of SCOT, smoke and ashes
through electricity. the interval might
be advantageously bridged over by the
use Of cheap manufactured gas as fuel
Fires in a private house in city are
really relic of barbarism. The only
thing that gives them possible excuse
for being is the high price of gas.
For some years there have been whis-
perings Of better things to come in the
shape of water gas that could be made
for 10 cents a thousand This was too
good to be true. But the solid fact in the
case is that the continued experiment.
ing in the manufacture of both oil gas
and water gas has resulted in making a
thoroughly good illuminant for from 20
cents to 40 cents per 1000 feet. Phila-
delphia owns her own coal gas works,
but buys from private water gas COM
pany 40 per cent Of the gas used by the
city. Hamilton, o., where the gas
works are also owned by the city, is
making use of water gas at cost to the
holder Of from 20 to % cents a thousand.
Lakewood, on Lake Chautauqua, uses a
gas made from mingled steam and ben
zine. At Bellefontaine o., thorough
ly good illuminating gas is made from
crude petroleum. soft coal. coke and
steam.
Let us have neat, hot and handy gas
for cooking and heating in all the cities,
as cheap as the dirty and cumbersome
coal. Il is long felt and crying public
want. Away with the laundering coal

slightly ash dumpsi

Hawaiian Annexation History.

1t was a good thought ON the part Of
Senator Morgan of Alabama to call for
the history Of the previous movement to
annex Hawaii in 1854. In response to the
Morgan resolution, documents were laid
before the senate which, for the first
time, informed a majority of the United
States citizens now living that 80 years
ago the king of Observation-Disclosures
II-requested us to prepare treaty an
nexing the islands to this country. They
were to be admitted as a state as soon as
consistent
Such treaty was actually prepared,
and the move would have been consum-
mated only for the death of Kameha-
meha before the treaty had been signed.
His successor, Kamehameha ", de-
clined to ratify the bargain, and so the
affair was broken off. Looking carefully
over the history of the time, it appears
much as if the fine Italian hand of Eng
fish diplomacy had interviewed to prevent
the annexation in 1854.
But if annexation is consu1nInated
now, undoubtedly the mastery letter of
instructions given to the American min
lister at Hawaii by W. l., Marcy secre-
tary Of state at the time, will be used as
a text for the present negotiations. Sec
rotary Marcy was of opinion that a pro-
tectorate was not to be thought of, and
that nothing short of annexation would
do. He further declared that the United
States should manifest liberal spirit in
compensating the existing rulers and
chiefs" for the loss of their political
power

causes of its rapid growth, but much is
also due to the high character and eff
cheney of its officers.
None of these has made better record
than its present secretary, John Willis
Baer. To his shrewd business manage
ment is largely due that the United soci-
ETY. has been able to pay its way by the
sale of supplies, with but little demand
upon individual members. Mr.. Baer
was born in Rochester, Mimi, March 2,
1851, and is therefore but 80 years old.
He was partially reared in Cleveland,
but at IS went back to his native state
and was for some years in the business
Office of an elevator company, after
which he did newspaper work for two
years in Cedar Rapids, la.
He was among the first in the Chris
tian Endeavor movement, was president
of the Rochester local union and served
also on the state board of officers. In
the spring Of 1890 he was called to sue
coed Mr.. George M. Ward as general sec
rotary and has been constantly busy in
that capacity ever since, excepting a
short trip abroad for a necessary rest.
He has spoken in almost every important
city in the country, always speaks with
out notes and is quick at repartee, keen
at illustration and full of an earnestness
that carries conviction.
