BIG SHIPS SHOW SPEED.
The Larger the Vessel the Better
Her Sea- Going Record.

Dr.. F. Elgar accounts for the
constantly increasing dimensions
of ocean steamships by the fact
that size alone is of immense adj
vantage to such ships. Whatever
may be the speed obtained with
ship on trial in smooth water, the
extent to which her average sea
speed would afterwards approach
this would depend very greatly
upon her size. A striking proof of
this is seen in the increasing regu-
larity-as distinct from increase in
speed-with which steamers make
their voyage az their size is in
creased.
The variations in length of voy-
age from the average become less
with increase of size. The effect
of size on speed is equally marked.
DR.. Elgar holds that with the
present materials of construction
and types of engines and machin-
cry we will very soon reach the
absolute limit of speed imposed by
the restriction as to draught OF
water. On the other hand, Prof.
Biles thinks that a vessel of 1000
feet length, 100 feet width and a
30-foot draught may presently be
built that will cross the. Atlantic
in four days.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
The printing press, with the ut
most diligence, could be made to
print from 90 to So sheets an hour
on one side only; the printing
presses of today print from $4,000
to 10000 in the same time on both
sides.
In hopes of abating the smoke
nuisance the city of Boston has

The loi Of n Turk who has TO bear

dwellings are inclosed within one sur
rounding wall and frequently they are
beneath one roof, as is Aie case ir our
modern flats; but nevertheless the
isolation is complete among the wives.
The etiquette among Turkish ladies'
is somewhat complicated and the
system is hierarchical, the fayOrite eT-
ercising an undisputed authority over
the others. IN the suitan's harem the
supreme authority Is vested in his
