lirty nIIIes nn Hour br steamer.

Thirty Miles an Hour by Steamer.
 Darius Dayiscn, veteran engineer and naval architect, proposes what will be nothing less than a revolution in ocean steamship construction if his idea is practicable. He declares that he can build steamship 1000 feet long which will travel 90 miles an hour and be safer than the ordinary ship now is, besides getting rid of seasickness.
 A company is already organizing to construct a monster ship on the new system. She will properly be named the Leviathan. The principal deviation from present models in the hull will be that the bow and stern will project sharply out like a ram into the water far beyond the main body of the vessel. Thus in steamer 1,000 feet long 800 feet of the length would be taken up by the projecting bow and stern, leaving zoo feet in which to store freight and passengers. She will be 50 feet wide, 15 feet wider than any vessel of today. The projecting bow and stern are sharp at the point. widening toward I N'h up liC OA tlAC pC of the whaleback ship, allowing the waves to break over them and slip gen | tly of without crashing against the body of the ship itself. It certainly seems as if this would be a great advantage. The bow and stern give buoyancy as well as steadiness to the vessel, preventing the rolling motion.
 The Leviathan will have four huge | propellers capable of working singly or altogether without interfering. This is far beyond even the twin screws, which are now the pride of owners of the new est steamers. The engines will be of 50,000 horsepower and will consist of four sets, vertical and direct acting, each in a separate water tight cOmpart- ment. Best of all, MT. Davison declares he can drive this tremendous craft 90 miles an hour through the water with only one-fifth the amount of coal now consumed by our fastest steamers. He will do this chiefly by improved meth, ods of stoking. One would be glad tc know whether among his many inven tions MT. Davison has discovered an i'm proved system of poking the fire.
 The Leviathan's great length will en able her to cover three ocean swells al once, thus avoiding the pitching and add ing to the comfort of the hundreds oi swells who will be aboard of her. Best of all, by the economic methods to bt introduced the inventor claims that hi: ship will be able to carry freight ant passengers across the sea at much lower rates than are possible now. May we al live to travel ill one of these steamers!

A Fight In Patersnn.

PATERSON. N. J, July l0.-Divine serv- ices in the Bnai Israel synagogue ended in a riot, in which Abram Marcus leg was broken and Peter Pawleski was dangerous ly injured. Shortly after the services be gan a woman drove up and tied her horse to the fence, blocking the sidewalk. A dozen young men who assemble in front of the temple every Sunday evening ob- iected to the horse on the walk and threat ened to unite it. The woman was aI-xry and rushed into the synagogue and asked three men who were near the door to assist her.
 When the men reached the sidewalk they were set upon by the lOunGers and ret reated into the synagogue, followed by a dozen of the worst element in the Third ward. The entire lcongregat! on then rushed upon the intruders and a general hand to hand fight ensued- The sound of a police whistle alarmed the disturbers. and at a signal from the leader they ceased hostilities and ran across the Arch street bridge over tho Passaic river. Mir. Marcus. whose leg was broken, is a member of the congregation, while Pawleski assisted the disturbers.

Educating ConYicts.

If the plan proposed by the Chicago university can be put into successful op- eration, q convict can enter a state pris- on an ignorant man and come out a col lege graduate. The scheme is part of the system of university extension which the Chicago institution has in prepara- tion.
 Instruction will be given first by lec- lures, afterward by correspondence and lectures. Professors from the school will visit the prisons of the state in turn, giving courses of lectures in various branches. They are not to be free lec- lures, and the men are not compelled to attend. Those who do choose to will pay for the instruction out of their earn ings in the penitentiary.
 There will be no distinction whatever between the classes and courses con- ducted inside and outside the prisons. The convict will be wrestling with cube | root in lis cell in exactly the same way as the free mechanic ill his cheap lodg- ing house. Already more than 40 differ ent courses of study have been arranged
 for in science, history, mathematics, literature, Ctc. Examinations will be
 conducted by writing. Where a pris-
 oner finishes a given department cer- | tifcate will be given to him that such is
 the fact. This seems the brightest hope
 for convict reform that has gleamed
 upon sinful world in long time. It
 will give q new interest to the dreary
 life of the prisoner and perhaps turn
 him away from thoughts of murdering
 his keeper.

NOTWITHSTANDING all the newspape

NOTWITHSTANDING all the newspaper talk about an administration pro- gramme for the extra session of con gress, it can be positively stated that there will be no such thing as an ad- ministration programme. President Cleveland will Tn his message endeavor to make the necessity for the repeal of the Sherman silver law perfectly plain to congress, and in that he will not overstep the bounds of his constitutional rights, but he has no idea of attempting to dictate 8 programme to congress. He will merely point out what, in his judgment, ought to be done, leaving congress to consider ways and means of how it shall be done, or whether il shall be done at all. The programme for the extra session will be arranged by congress after it meets and not by any single individual, and any attempt to outline it before the members of con gress have had an opportunity to con suit upon it is nothing more nor less than guess work.

THE facts respecting the failure of Charles Foster, of Ohio, Mir Harrisou's secretary of the treasury, now that they are known, are scandalous in a high degree. The bank controlled by him has liabilities of more than $296, 900, and it's assets foot up only $7o,2s6. The enormous discrepancy was created mainly by Foster himself, who over drew his own acct unt to the extent of $136, 900. That is to say, he took from the bank $1S6, 900 of other peoples money and sunk it in his own specula- tions. The Cincinnati Times-Star, a strong republican newspaper, is not de- tered by Fosters political prominence from hkening his act to burglary or forgery, 80 far as it's morality and it's re- suits are concerned.

HOW 10 co To SLEEP.
Hints For Those Who Lie Awake Nights
 In Misery.


 In Misery.
 The activity of the brain is in direct proportion to the amount of blood con- tained in the vessels of the brain, and anything that lessens the amount of blood in these vessels will induce sleepiness, while the greater the flow of blood the greater will be the flow of ideas. This is comparatively a new discovery, for it used to be held that much blood in the brain caused sleep. Dr. William Ham mond has, however, demonstrated the fallacy Of this latter idea by descrip. tion of the results obtained by several experiments with instruments of preci. sion, one of which was his own inven- tion, which showed that the flow of blood to the brain was coincident with the degree of mental activity displayed in the subject.
 If a person lies down, thus allowing the blood to flow more readily to the brain, and cannot sleep. let him get up, sit in a rocking chair and throw his head back, and he will probably go to sleep very quickly. Some people have found by experience that they can sleep better after eating, and the doctor explained this by saying that the blood not being able to be in two places at the same time and having to go to the stomach to digest the food has to leave the brain, and therefore sleep follows.
 Some people are more active mentally when lying down than when sitting uT because of the greater flow of blood to the brain. Dr. Hammond describes a machine which would produce sleeT whenever desired. It is something like pair of carpenters pinchers with rub Der balls at the end. All one has to dc is to screw it to one neck, thus stopping the flow of blood, and one can go tc sleep at will or shut off ones train oi | thought.
 Discussing the relative merits of the female and male brain, Dr. Hammond says that so long as there is such thing as pair of scales the ladies will have tc admit that the average weight of 6 woman's brain is eight ounces less than that of man. Nevertheless a woman is far more than able to hold her own The amount of mentality does not de pend on the size of the brain. Although smaller ill quantity than that of man the brain of a woman is often composed of thicker gray matter, making it quick CT and perhaps more subtle.

RERELLIous LEPERs.
Here Is a Question of state Equal to th
 Indian Problem.

Indian Problem.
 VAN CoUvER, July 1G.-ReceBt advices from Honolulu state that the provisional government Is taking vigorous steps to subdue the rebellious lepers at Kalalau.
 It is hoped that the display of force will Induce surrender without bloodshed. Kala- lau is an isolated canyon, accessible on foot with extreme difficulty, and by sea only in fine weather. There are 102 inhab- itants, of whom 2s are lepers, mostly refu- gees from other districts of Kanai. Their stronghold is four miles inland in the val ley in recesses, accessible through narrow chasm.
 Their unrestrained intercourse with the people in whose houses they live threatens to infect the whole population.
 Sheriff Stolz had been urging the board of health to remove them. He was confident he could persuade them to come if given full powers.
 The result proved fatal to him. At Mol okai they would be in entire comfort and free from anxiety. It is hoped no party is sue will be made about this affair. The majority of the natives are strongly op- posed to the segregation of the lepers, which most whites regard as a vital necessity. The Royalist organ, The Bulletin, violent ly attacks the president of the board of health for disturbing the peace of Kalalau, which the royal government had left un- molested.
 Sheriff Stoltz. who was shot by the lepers of Kalalau, was buried here June 20. The government dispatched a company of reg ular troops and police, amounting to about 80 men, with one Krupp field piece by steamer on June 80. Martial law has been proclaimed in the districts where the lepers are. They nre to be taken dead or alive. The lepers have arms, and a battle between them and the troops is not unlikely.

Of 652 girls who passed the severe ex- animation for admission to the normal college connected with the public schools in New York city, two-thirds were of foreign stock. no more than one or at most two generations back. Of the two young ladies who secured the highest per cent, one was a Jewess, the other a young lady of German percentage. The list included many Jewish and German names, and these occurred most fire quently of all. Next came the Irish girls, and after them Scandinavians, then a sprinkling of French, Italian, Polish and Spanish Are these the for eigners who are pouring in upon us to corrupt our institutions and overwhelm our republic with a tide of ignorance? By the way, what are the native Ameri- can girls about?

THE English industrial situation is pervaded by gloom. Financial revul- sions and foreign tariffs have unsettled business, reduced wages and thrown thousands out of employment. It is now feared, that the coal miners, said to number 400, 900, may strike, as a re- suit of the efforts of their employers to reduce compensation 9 per cent. The men have rejected a proposal for arbi- tration, and negotiations have been broken off,

She has on board mail for England, and has steamed across the Pacific in an at tempt to break the record in making the circuit of the world. Letters on board the Warrino are answers to mail that left Lon don May le, on the steamer Himalaya, and if all goes well they will be in London July 19, or 60 days from the time when the English mail for Australia left London.

AN exhibition which is given in Chi cago outside the Columbian fair grounds is that of street transportation by means of what is known as the Kinetic motor, a device controlled by a Boston company, which consists in storing at high pressure steam of super heated water and using the power di- rectlY to propel street cars. It is said that the cost of running a motor car with two other cars trailing behind it does not exceed two cents per mile, and If this is the case it is certainly an i'm provemcnt, so far as expense is con- cerncd, upon any of the methods now in use
