Sailing Faster Than the Wind.

Every yachtsman knows that ship can
sail faster than the wind-that is to say,
if the wind is blowing 10 knots an hour,
ship may be making IL or Is knots an
hour. Now, it is obvious that if the ship
is sailing straight before the wind it can
not, at the utmost, travel faster than the
wind tself is blowing-as a matter of fact,
it viii, travel much more slowly. If, on
the other hand, the ship is sailing at an
angle with the wind 1t seems at first sight
that the wind must act with less effect
than before, but as q matter of fact the
ship not only sails more quickly than be-
fore, but more quickly than the wind it
self is blowing. Let US consider the diff
Guilty in the light of the following expert
ment:
Place ball at one side of the billiard
table, and with the cue, not held in the
ordinary manner but lengthwise from end
toend of the table, shove the ball across the
cloth. The cue here represents the wind,
and the ball the ship sailing directly before
it. The ball, of course, travels at the same
rate as the cue. Now, suppose groove in
which the ball may roll be cut diagonally
across the table from one corner pocket to
the other. If the ball be now placed at
one end of the groove and the cue held
horizontally, parallel with the long sides
and moved forward across the width of
the table as before, the ball will travel
long the groove and along the cue, dag
ognally across the table in the same time
as the cue takes to move across the width
Of the table. This is the case of the shin

The Ancient Hearse.

The ancient hearse, so often mentioned in
wills and funeral directions, was not car
riage for the conveyance of the body like
that in use at the present day, but was
four square framework of timber, from
each corner of which rose rafter, slanting,
and all four rafters met at the top. This was
covered with black CLOTH and at the funer
ais of persons of distinction was set up for a
time in the choir for the reception of the
body during the service. 1t was surrounded
with rails and fringed and ornamented ac-
cording to the rank of the deceased. Until
the Reformation hearses were garnished
with numerous lights, as well as with pen
ellis and escutcheons, but with the change
of faith the lights erediscontinued These
hearses were introduced about the four
teenth century, and they continued to be
used until the civil wars of the seventeenth
century. Westminster Gazette.

should have gone to Damascus on that err
rand. Jesus Christ had been dead only
three years, and the story of his kindness.

air. 1t was not an old story as it is now.
1t was new story. Jesus had only three
summers ago been in these very places, and
Saul every day in Jerusalem must have met
people who knew Christ, people with good
eyesight whom Jesus had cured of blind

been resurrected by the Saviour, and peo-

NEW SPAPER COMMENT.
The Press of England and Ireland Upon
the Measure.

LONDON, Feb. 13-The Daily News says J.:
THE double chamber arrangement is in
hnlteiy better than the proposal OF 1886.
The retention of the Irish members at
Westminster is the most likely part of the
bill TO excite keen resistance. As whole,
the bill IS so cautious and moderate that it
Will probably convert many mOderates
The Times says: Those whom Gladstone
failed to convince in 1886 will not be converted
now by less powerful and less persuasive
appeal. The case presented ab0unded with
Ingenious plausibilites, yet it produced an
Impression OF profound disappointment aud
the most indulgent will fail 10 discern the
faintest sign OF fnality In the scheme. His
omission of any reference to the land ques-
ton until questioned on the subject indi-
Gates plainly how he has artiiclally re-
stricted his views. The proposed Upper
Council is an exceedingly doubtful protec-
tlon for the minority"
The Times denounces the retention OF
the Irish members at Westminster.
The Daily Chronicle says: The reten-
tion of the Irish members at Westmlns ter
Is, according to our judgment, one import
ant feature that makes the home rule bill
acceptable to both England and ireland.

The Standard says: The measure is i'm

Of 1886.
The Morning Post says: The measure is
more futile and fantastic than any ever
before submitted to a civilized assembly.
A dispatch from Dublin quotes the Free
mans Journal as follows: While open TO
improvement the bill is altogether a good,
water-tight measure.
The Irish Times says: Seven years have
failed to teach Gladstone respect either for
the rights OF the Irish minority or the facts
Of history. Ulster says simply that it will
not have it. and the Parnelites express a
hesitant approval OF the bill. though they
are dissatisfied with the proposal TO retain
land under English jurisdiction for three
years.

NOT YET ADMITTED.
Territories Seeking Statehood Get
Set Back Peg.
Senator Carey Was Not Discouraged,
Though the Vote Was Most
Decidedly Against Him.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. - There was a
tories to statehood this morning, but Carey,
who has the matter in charge, says it is but
a temporary defeat. To-day, during the
morning hour. Carey called up the bill for
the purpose OF getting ii before the Senate
and ordered it printed Plat, Chairman OF
the Committee on Territories, who Is op-
posed to the admission of any more States
at present, objected, and Carey forced the
Issue by moving the bin be taken up. On
the aye and no vote his motion was de-
feated by 30 noes IA ayes.
The vote in detail was as follows:
Ayes-Blackburn Butter. Carey, FELTON,.
Gordon. Harris. Mcpherson, Mitchell,
Palmer, PETER. Pugh, Quay, Sawyer and
Teller-14
Noes Berry, Budget, Brice, Caffery.
Call, Cockrell, Coke, Cullom, Dawes,
Dolph. Faulkner, Frye. German, Hill, Hoar,
Hunton, Jones of Arkansas. Nc Millin,
Manderson. Mills. Morrill,, Pascoe, Platt,
Sherman, Stockbrdge. Voorhees,, Wash
burn, White and Wocott-30
There appears to have been fears on the
part of some of the Senators that Carey
sought to displace the Nicaragua bill, and
this is to some extent accountable for the
vote. Some Senators, particularly among
the Democrats, will vote for the bill when
the canal matter is out of the way.
Carey saws the opposition to the admis-
sion of the Territories had votes present and
the friends Of the bill did not. On square
vote, without anything to interfere. he is
confident the Territories will be admitted.
No further attempt will be made to get the
bill up in the morning hour. But Carey
will wait until the Nicaragua canal bill is
finished. Then. under an agreement of the
cancus, he will call it up and expects to
have majority on his side.
