Mrs. Stevenson In the Chair.

Mrs. Stevenson presided at the recent
convention of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution. The wife of the vice
president has evidently never opened the
covers of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, so she supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
@ mild hammered man, who neverthe-
less knew all about overruling and
quashing and laying on the table. This
man sat at Mrs. Stevenson's elbow, told
her what to do next in all cases and scut-
tied number of ships in the shape Of
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident of this sort was
when motion was offered by distin-
guished looking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson was
standing at the time, and without wait
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had chance to
draw long breath. Immediately there
was a storm of opposition. Then the
mild parliamentarian whispered some
thing to Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded
in ladylike manner with her pretty
gavel and said:
THE question before the congress, Ia
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
of two things with it. We can either
we can either whatY she blandly and
frankly asked, turning to the blushing
parliamentarian.
1t was so openly done that it brought
down the house. Mrs. Stevenson laughed,
the little man laughed, everybody laugh
ed, and order was not restored for sew
eral minutes. Then they laid the reso-
luton on the table and went gayly on
about their business.-New York Sun.

Edison on Ocean Rapid Transit.

Edison declares that rapid transit
through the water is only a question
of reducing the friction between the
sides Of the ship and the water.
What makes the resistance that the
ships screw must overcome is the
fact that the ship drags a lot of wa
ter along with her. To illustrate
this: Say the vessel is going 20 miles
an hour; two feet from her sidethe
water is going 10 miles an hour, four
feet away miles an hour, eight feet
away miles an hour, nine feet off
/ mile an hour and so on in diminish
ing ratio. All this water the vessel
is dragging along with her. That is
what the engine has got to do--not
force the ship through the water, but
carry the water along. This all
comes from the fact that the water
sticks, as it were, to the side of the
ship.
Edison believes that some means
will be discovered of lessening the
friction between the sides of the YES.
sci and the ocean. The result might
possibly be achieved, he thinks, by
forcing some cheap OIL through the
pores of the sides of the ship undey
the water line. She would then slip
across the Atlantic on a bed of oil
