Some of the Mammoth Freight Vessels of

The largest sailing ship afioat is the
French five-master La France, launched
in 1890 on the Clyde, and owned by
Messrs. Ant Dom Bordes eft Fills, who
possess a large fleet of sailing vessels
In 1891 she came from Iquique to Dun
kirk in los days, with 5000 tons of
nitrate, yet she was stopped on the
Tyne when proceeding to sea with $500
tons of coal and compelled to take out
500 tons on the ground that she was
overladen.
There is not single five-masted sail
ing ship under the British flag, says
Chambers journal. The United States
has two five-masters, the Louis, of $50
tons, and the Gov. Ames, of 1,77S tons,
both fore-and-aft schooners, rig pc
culiar to the American coast. Ships
having five masts can be counted on
the fingers of one hand, but, strange
to say, the steamship Coptic, of the
Shaw, Savill & Albion company, on
her way to New Zealand, in December.
1890, passed the Gov. Ames in II de-
grees south "a degrees west, bound
for California, and two days later, in 6
degrees south 81 degrees west, the
French five-master La France, bound
south.
Passengers and crew of the Coptic
might travel over many a weary league
of sea and never again see two such
excellent object lessons in the growth
of sailing ships in quick succession.
The largest three-masted sailing ship
is the Ditton, of 1850 tons.

TALK ABOUT WEATHER.

New York Man Who Tells the Tempera-
ture by Tasting the Atmosphere --s.s
There is a man in New York who is
an expert weather sampler, and just
as the tea expert tastes his brands to
appraise them, SO this man tastes the
weather. He will at any time of the
day, or at any place, so long as it is in
the open air, taste the atmosphere and
tell you what the temperature is. He
never gets more than two degrees
away and seldom moro than one. The
other day, says the Tribune, a friend
played a joke on him by using ther-
mometer which was not in working
order. The sampler, after tasting the
weather, said that it was thirty-one
degrees above zero. The thermometer
pert would not be convinced that he
walk along until they found another
thermometer. They found it and it
registered thirty-one degrees.

Michigan man, 1--WE have a hard win
ter. When they turn late we have an
open winter. One would suppose that
the time at which winter set in would
have everything to do with the turn
ing of the leaves, and it is known that
some open winters set in early and
some cold ones set in late. But have
noticed that the time of cold weather
beginning does not mark the turning
of the leaves The present winter set
in early in Michigan. There was un-
usually cold weather in October, but
the leaves did not turn until month
later than the average time. All lum-
bermen arranged for an open winter
on that account, and they have not
been mistaken. In fact, L have never
