the reformed Jews have learned to es-

that He was one OF their race, and the

doned Him for the errors Of agnosticism

out to his dead Lord in these words:

POPUlISTS' POSITION.
PETER is Not Disappointed at the
Result of the Election.
Stewart Can See No Advantage in Combination
Wilson on the Rout.

WAsHIyGToN, Nov. Ex-senator PETER
has arrived from Kansas. Discussing the
recent election, he said the Populists had
no reason to feel discouraged. What we
have lost in congressman, he said, we
have more than made up in votes. The
reports generally published would lead
people to suppose that we had suffered q
material loss in all respects in Kansas
SUCH is ne. the case. In 1890 we had
about l05 go votes in that state; in lsS!
about 1880, and in the late election
from 10, 90 to 5000.
This is in the face Of the fact that about
2O.C0J of orr voters had left the state on
account of the drought. We failed in the
election Of officers because we were not
fused with the Democrats, but we have
avery reason 10 feel encouraged for the
future In the country ut large feel
conf lci!t that when the returns are footed
uV they will show our total vote to be
little less than 2UO), 900. which is about
twice the Popu.st vote of two years ago.

A NAUTICAL KNOT.
How 1t Differs From n Nautical Mile--OI.
iriu of the Word.

A nautical knot is frequently confourd-
ed with Il nautical mile. Tho length OF n
nautical knot is 30 feet and s inches, no
more nor less; that of Il nautical mile
sometimes as long rs 6, l01 feet and 10
inches and at other times as short rs 6Ol6
feet, for a nautical mile has to conform
to u line measuring one minute Of are OF
the earth S surface at sea level, and rs the
earth is not perfect sphere the radii diff
fer and so must the arc. But the length
of standard nautical mile, according to
the United States coast and gcOdctiC sur
vcy, is e, $50 feet and ga inches, that being
the length of one minute Cf arc of great
circle OF q true sphere whose surface area
Is equal to that of the earth.
In the earlier days of navigation the
method OF determining the distance YES.
sci sailed sea was by what was called
"hCaying the log a three corncrcd board
with lead attached so rs to float on its edge
that it might not drag through the water,
was attached to Il long line, ana about 100
feet from the log Or three cornercd board
knot was made in the line, and when the
log was thrown into the water as the YES
sci sailed away from it the line was drawn
out of the vessel by the log, which re-
mained stationary in the water. As soon
o. the Knot passed out over the 1ail or stern
of the vessel half minute sandglass was
turned to denote the time and the sand
carefully watched until the last grain
dropped into the lower bulb, and the log
line was then instantly stopped at the rail,
5he distance was measured on the line IL
It was hauled in from where it was stopped
at the rail to the knot before mentioned,
and rs ii half minute glass denoted the onc
hundred and twentieth part of an hour, SC
the distance on the log line was the one
hundred and twentieth part of the dis
tancc the vessel would sail in an hour.
TomaEe the computation moro easy, knots
were placed on the log line every one hun.
drcd and twentieth part Of a mile of e, ESQ
feet, which placed the knots 30 feet and
inches apart. and the number of these
knots which the vessel sailed in half a
minute wCro therefore equal 20 the num-
Der of miles that the vessel would sail in
an hour if she continued at the same rate.

THE ST. LOUIS,
TContinued from 1st page.

American tr ,atlantic liner, the 81
Louis, was launched today at the Cramps
shipyard and WAS chrstened by MIS-
Cleveland On the arrival in this city OF
the party from Washington, they We're
met by an escort of several ladies and
gentlemen and were taken to the Cramps
shipyard, where the St. Louis lay in It's
cradle for its sponsor to give it n name.
The St. Louis if the expectation of her
builders is reached, will be superior to
every liner in the world, except the Cam
pania and the Lucania, which hold the
Transatlantic records. The new American
liner is 500 tons larger than either the
Paris or New York, and 16 feet longer on
the water line. She is $40 tons larger than
either the Majestic or Teutonic of the
White Star line Her length over all is
554ft.; length on load water line, 536ft. !;
extreme beam, GIFT; depth of hold, Aft;
draught of watcg, 26ft.; gross register,
IL 600 tons.
There is room for 800 frst-class passen-
gers, 200 second cabin and 900 steerage,
besides about 100 officers and men. That
means 1890 p1oplc on board, of whom 400
are passengers. - ..44-z
Every effort has been made to make the
big liner as safe as any hotel on land. Her
safety appliances are the most modern and
approved possible, and she will be one of
the safest vessels atloat.
The St. Louis is out and out an Ameri-
can vessel Not only was it built by an
American firm, but every piece of the
great vessel is of American manufacture.
1t is, of course, steel from stem to stern,
and American steel only is used. So the
great liner will not only carry the Ameri-
can flag but do it as an American.born
vessel, down to the smallest rib in her
body
