THE COLUMBIA'S SPEED.
Would She Be Able to Catch Up
With the Crank Cunarders.
New York Tribune.

A comparison OF the speed merits Of the
cruiser Columbia with the two fastest
ships at1Oat in case of war is made. The
two vessels which the Columbia might
have difficulty in catching are the Cam
pania and Lucanja. The Campania has
made the highest average hourly speed
ever attained by.a vessel in q transatlantic
voyage. She did it last month, when she
made an average of 21.2S knots from
Queenstown to New York. The highest
average speed for one day was made re-
Gently by the Lucania, which ran at an
average of 22.7 knots for twenty-four
hours fifty minutes-n nautical day-com-
ing west.
Now, suppose there was war between
England and America, and the Colum bia
was looking for one of the two big ships
which. under those circumstances, would
be either in use as transports or trans
formed into hght-armed commerce de-
strOyers themselves. A sharp outlook
would be kept from the crows nest for
the swift aid terrible Columbia AS her
four SmOkestacks would make her more
readily diStinguishable than an ordinary
ship, she could be recognized for a certainty
with glass, say ntteen miles under ordi-
nary circumstances, or say approximately
eighteen miles under the most favorable
circumstances.
The Columbia would also recognize the
Cunarder and the race would begin. If
the Columbia made the time she made on
her trial race of 22.S1 knots and the Luz
cania made the best time she ever made o f
22.74 knots an hour, the Columbia would
have gained on the LucaEia at the end of
an hour OF of a knot. But the Lucania
has the advantage of an eighteen-mile
start. Eighteen miles is equal TO about
1915 knots. The fraction is trifle larger,
but Is is near enough for practical pur-
poses. Now, if the Colum bia gains OF of
a knot in one hour, it would take her little
over nine days to overtake the Lucania |
that time the Lucania could easily make
British fortified port, no matter where
the chase should take place. England has
chain of fortified tons around the world.
In the case of the Campania, taking her
best average speed for a transatlantic
voyage of 21.2S knots, the Columbia would
have difference in her favorof 1.53 knots.
Ii she gained 1853 knots an hour on the
Campania it would take her to overcome
the 1914 knots, which the Campania had
the start, about ten hours and twenty-five
minutes. IL would therefore seem as if
the Lucan la were the only ship which the
COlum bia could not catch. In Ions, stern
chase. such as the Columbia would have
after the LucanIa, she would not probably
get within fighting range until days enough
had passed for the Cunarder to make a
port or for the chase TO be given up. In
the case OF the Campanla, a gun from the
Columbia would probably shorten the
chase. Say the Columbia in chasing the
Lucania opened ire on her at five knots
distance. Then she would have 1914 knots
to overcome before she could fire, and that
would take her over six days.

WULZEN'S LAND CLAIMS.
The Supreme Court OverruIes the
Board of Supervisors.


The Supreme Court has reversed the
judgment of the lower court in the case Of
Wulzen against the Board of Supervisors
The suit grew out Of the Market-sreet
extension. The Board of Supervisors
passed an order condemning certain land
belonging 10 WulZen for the purposes of
the extension. Wulzen complained and
applied for writ Of certiorari compelling
the Supervisors 10 review their order and
hold an investigation into WulZen's rights.
The Supervisors Set up a defense wherein
they asserted that their act in condemn
Ing Wulzen's land was purely legislative,
not Judiclai, ana therefore not open 10 re-
view taken by SUPERIOR Judge Hoge, and
from this judgment Wulzea Appealed. The
Supreme Court decides that the act of the
Board 'of Supervisors was most decidedly
open to review by the courts, and there
fore that the judgment be reversed and

ume by the Rev. Edward G. Read, Civ
ing an account of his sightseeing in
Egypt and Palestine. The narrative is
lucid and well written, and of peculiar
value i'll presenting the present condition
of these Bible Lands. The preface dis
claims any ''pretensions of original re-
search or of profound scholarship" and
proposes simply to give the general read
er a succinct statement of what an intel
ligent tourist sees. This object is well
accomplished, and the book may be
cordially recommended to all interested
in the subject. Any one can read the
Bible more intelligently and profitably
when he has some acquaintance with the
countries mentioned in the sacred rec
ords. Mr.. Read conveys information ac-
curately and .agreeably.

Book "a Domino in Bible
Lands"
An attractive new book entitled: "a
Domino in Bible Lands" by the Rev.
Edward Griffin Read. pastor of the Sec
ond Reformed Church of SOmeTville, N.
j., is for sale at the BANNER Stationery
Store. The adventures and experiences
in Egypt and Palestine of a large party
of which Mr.. Read was a member, form
the basis of this charming told narrative.
The trip of 900 miles up the Nile and
nearly 400 miles on horseback through
the Holy Land was replete with interest
and attended with many hardships and
considerable danger, and in the telling
the author has woven in much of the
history of the sacred places visited, draw
ing with greatest care the line between
the legendary and authentic records.
The language is concise, but ever retains
the easy, natural style of narrative, and
the pages abound with clear-cut word
pictures of famous Eastern scenes and
peoples. The student will find therein
much that is new and many valuable
suggestions from the ripe experience of
the author, while to the general reader
the narrative affords a series of interest
ing sketches and events in Oriental
lands. The book contains $50 pages,
printed from clear-cut type, on heavy
paper, is illustrated from photographs
brought from the scenes visited by the
author, and is handsomely bound in
cloth and gold. Price, $3.50. Very ap-
propriate for a holiday gift
