r1ONARCH OF THE OCEAN.
The Gigantic to Be the King of the
Atlantic
NewYork Morning Jnnrnal.


When will the speed of the ocean grey.
hound" reach its limit? is the question
often asked IN this age of Atlantic flyers.
No sooner has enc leviathan steamship
been launched than there isl talk of another
being built TO outdo her. The Cunard
Steamship Company in its new vessel, the
Campania. which arrived here few days
ago, has outstripped all its rivals.
The dimensions of the Campania are
enormous. Her length over all is go feet,
her breadth 65 feet, and her estimated
horsepower is 10000. She made over
twenty-three knots al hour on her trial
trip, which is equivalent to more than
twenty-seyen English miles. Shi pin g
men looked on in wonder when this leva-
than of the deep was successfully launched,
and thought that sh p-building had reached
its acme of perfection.
During the past week, however, rumors
have been spreading abroad that the
White Star Company has in contemplation
a new vessel which will castinto the shade
the rival Campanla, and even make the
Great Eastern look small In comparison.
The name of the new vessel will be the
Gigantic. and she will not belle her name
The White Star Company Is keeping the
matter very quiet and refuses 10 give def
mite particulars about its new vessel.
1t has leaked out that the Gigantic Is in
tended to be the swiftest and largest
steamship afloat. Her length will be 700
feet, her beam 6S feet and her engines will
develop 20. 000 horsepower. The new YES
sci will thus be longer than the Great
Eastern, but her beam will be fourteen
feet less.
The horsepower of the Great Eastern
was only 1850 while that of the Gigantic
will be As COO. This is an enormous differ
10 MI Of Ia ct t,iI
that have been made of late years in
mechanical engineering.
The Gigantic Will. it is expected, make
twenty. seven knots an hour. and Will be
able to make this run from Queenstown to
New York in a little over four days. The
best her owners hope the Campana to do
is to cross the Atlantic In five days, So tina t
ii the Gigantic can d it in four days there
will DE complete revolution in ship

Valuable Find of a Diver.
Philadelphia Public Leader.

A very important archaeological find was
made In November last in the harbor of
SalGfliche by diver in search of sponges.
When the diver came mp from the bottom,
of the sea he displayed handful, not of
sponges. but of silver coins of very an
tique date. He turned over the coins to
the proprietor Of the boat. who ordered
him back to find some more coins. He
went down to the bottom of the sea several
times in succession. Finally he found at
n depth of 100 feet an iron box. which con-
talned nearly eighteen pounds of silver
coin. The proprietor OF the boat made the
seamen in his employ promise to be silent.
He made them some presents in money
and the find remained a secret for nearly
three months. Recently one OF the seamen,
having quarreled with he master, betrayed
the secret to the Greek Cover nment and tho
latter compelled him to produce the coins.
They date back to the days OF ancient
Macedonia and are IN excellent state of
preservation. showing the bust Of Alex
ander the Great, holding in one hand the
seepter ami in the other bird, seemingly
