A Mile n Minute on the Sea.

London Court Journal.
A Welsh engineer has prepared a design
for vessel which he claims will attain a
speed of sixty miles an hour His proposed
vessel is flat-bOttOmed, $50 feet long, 80 feet
in width. wedge shaped at each end for
one hundred feet of her length, with dis
placement of some 1850 tons. Such yes
ing at 10 revolutions a minute this SAN
guine inventor believes would be propelled
through the water at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. This would be breaking the
record with a vengeance, for the Lucania,
which has just ecipsed all previous per-
fOrmanceS, averaged barely twenty-five
miles an hour. The sixteen paddle wheels
of the proposed express passenger steamer
would be placed eight on each side, enc be-
hind the other in a water channel running
fore and aft just above the ships bottom.
They are of a peculiar construction, the
paddle always maintaining perpendicular
position and always entering and leaving
the water at exactly the same point.

position. The panels are first set up in
such a way as to form worm fence.
The yoke is then put in so that the slot
E will reach over one plank of each
panel, and the yoke itself will rest in
nOtches which are cut in the planks,
and the slots and will rest against
the upright posts. When the yolles are
taken out of one end of panel and loos-
ened i'll the other end of the same panel,
they will, by reason of their peculiar
shape, allow the loose panel to swing
around in the arc of a circle until it
rests against the adjacent panel. When
it is desired to close it, the panel is
drawn or swung back to its original
place and there made fast by the yolIes.
AS the whole fence is alike, any panel
may be in this way instantly converted
into gate.
By constructing this fence Gig A. in
panels it is rendered economical, port
able and readily and firmly put up with
out the necessity Of sinking posts or
using clamps of any kind The sta

the serpentine or worm fence, and the

attained by causing each panel to lock

Our Foreign Potato Trade.

A good many statements are made
about our foreign trade i'll potatoes. 1t is
not generally known that we have a
growing export trade in this vegetable.
In the year ending June l, 1898, we
imported potatoes to the value of ST.
O66, $50. The heaviest importations
were at New York, 81, 497, 1928; Boston,
1904, 657, and Philadelphia, SIG, SO.
In the same period we exported 800,
O32 worth of potatoes. The bulk of this
trade was with the countries south of
us-Cuba, $554, 1853; Mexico S27, 5O4;
Venezuela, $2l, 607, etc. The potato
trade with Cuba, like that in -four, is
an almost direct result of the reciprocity
treaties. Rural New Yorker.

acres of Cape Cod, which 80 years ago
were barren sand plains, are now COW

trees might be earning dollars for their
owners, growing by the brook or river

Senate Amendments.

The Constitution of the United States
provides that "all bills for raising
revenue shall originate In the House
OF Representatives. but the Senate may
propose or concur with amendments as
on other bills" The Washington Post
reported a few days ago that the Dis.
trict Court Of Appeals had decided
that a certain act OF Congress was
constitutional, although the appellants
had been allowed to introduce the jour.
nails of the Senate and House of Re.
representatives. to show the history OF
of the bank act had originated in the
Senate and was therefore unconstitu.
tional. The decision was undoubtedly
right. Whatever the Senate may dc
with "other bills" it may do with
revenue bills except the one thing oil
originating the latter. That body has
the right to alter or amend or to strike
out any and every section OF any bill
coming to 1t from the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and so must necessarily
have the right to send to the House
Of Representatives a substitute for any
bill which the latter body might SEND
to the former. The District Court OF
Appeals was. however. exceedingly guard
ed in the language which 1t employed
in rendering this decision. In fact. thai
court seemed to think that as the Sen
ate could only alter a House bill SOLELY
for the purpose OF amendment" II
could not add a section imposing ia,
not imposed in the bill as 1t was wher
1t reached the Senate.

National.Bauk Presidents.

In an article touching the subject OF
the establishment of State banks and
limiting at a new and elastic curren-
cy," as the advocates of those banks
style the kind Of currency they desire
to see the forty-four States provide
each for Its own citizens, the New York
Journal Of Commerce says:
Naturally. the national-bank presi-
dents (of New York;. as a rule, are not
expressly anxious for the return to q
system OF State-bank-note issues of any
kind; not on the ground that this would
involve any loss or Injurious COMPETE
ton to them or encrOachment on any
profitable privilege. but on the ground
that there is no need for such issues,
and because the people are 30 accus-
toned to bank notes issued under gov
eminent guarantee and secured by Gov
eminent bonds, that they would accept
no other, and that the fear of a revi-
val of the old-time wildcat currency
would complicate the existing currency
problems"
The New York national-bank presi-
dents are not mistaken in the opinion
that the State-bank notes land no
other would be accepted by the peo-
pie II these had any choice In the mat
ter. Under the operation OF Gresham's
law. the first result Of issuing State
bank notes would be that everybody
would pay out the State bank notes In
order to get rid of the worst currency
he had. and the next result would be
that he would refuse to accept the
State-bank notes at all.
