ing out miniature ships, and when 10
years old built q boat for himself and
sailed around the Narragansett bay.
Within two years he built several boats
and sold them, and thus began the
Herreshoff fame as'boat builders.
The Oldest of the present generation is
James Brown Herreshoff, graduate of
Brown university, who now lives in
California. He is an authority in me-
chanical engineering, and it was he who
first proposed the coil boiler which gave
the Bristol works start in the coastruc-
ton of steam launches
Charles Brown Herreshoff, the second
son, takes charge of the Herreshoff
homestead on Prudence island, and is
man of some political prominence in
Rhode Island.
John Brown Herreshoff, Who is the
Oldest of the three blind brothers, is the
business head of the works at Bristol,
and with his brother Nat shares the dis
tinction of having produced many of
the fastest boats afioat. He began whit
Ting out boats as soon as he could use a
jackknife, and when ID built a good
sized yacht for sailing on Narragansett
bay. About this time he was stricken
with blindness, but he kept on building
boats, with what success the world
knows.
Lewis Herreshoff, who is also blind,
is musician of some note.
Nathaniel Greene Herreshoff, or
Captain Nat" who is most widely
known as the designer of the Defender,
is the mechanical genius of the family
He was graduated from the institute of
technology, where he took prizes in
physics and mathematics. He was for a
number of years employed at the Corliss
Engine works in Providence, and at the
same time did the designing for the
Herreshoff company and modelled most
of their sailing and steam yachts. Since
1877 he has given his entire attention
to marine engineering and has design
ed and built a number of boats whose
speed and weatherly qualities have pro-
duced revolution in yacht building.
captain Nat" is superintendent and
manager Of the Herreshoffs' works and
owns one-fourth of the stock.
There are two younger brothers, Fran
els and Julian. The former, a graduate
of Harvard, has distinguished himself
in chemistry, and the latter, who is

Tho work Of the Heart

One Of the most remarkable things
about the heart is the amount Of work
it does. Considering the organ as a
pump whose task is to deliver a known
quantity Of blood against known
"head," it is easy to show that in "a
hours mans heart does about 1874 foot
tons Of work. "In other words, . says q
contemporary, "if the whole force ex-
pended by the heart in "a hours were
gathered into one huge stroke, such a
power would lift 1874 tons one foot from
the ground A similar calculation has
been made respecting the amount of
work expended by the muscles involved
in breathing. In "a hours these muscles
do about 21 foot tons of work"

After the Bread Trusts.

CHICAGO, Ills, Jan. l5.-Having
been informed by its law depart
ment that it had not the power to
directlyregulate the prices Of bread,
the City Council now proposes to
regulate that price by removing
artificial restrictions in the form
of "trusts" or combinations"
among bakers. In doing so it acts
under the advice OF the law de-
partment, the corporate counsel
having repeated that it is not only
within the power but it's duty to
collect evidence, II any exists, Of a
com bination of bakers under which
the price Of bread is kept above a
reasonable figure, and to take steps
to secure a dissolution Of such
trusts by the proper tribunals. In
fact the order directing the mayor,
the corporate counsel and the chief
of police to make this investiga-
ton, which was passed by the coun-
Gil last night, was framed and in
PRODUCED by the corporate counsel,
who at the time declared every
thing possible would be done in
that direction should the order be
passed.

FILLED OUT HER CENTURY.
One of the Old Welsh Danes who
Preserved. her National Feelings
Intact,

New YORK, Jan. l5.-Mrs. Gwen
Davies, who had reached the age of
nearly l0l years, died at the home
OF her son-in-law, Edward Lewis,
No. 73S East l3Sth street, on Satur-
day last.
Mrs. Davies was born on a farm
that is covered by Lake Virnwey,
the water reserve OF the city OF
Liverpool. The lake is at Mont
gomery's pier, North Wales, and
under its damned up waters rest
the bones Of her ancestors, fore
fathers who were good old farmers
Of the ancient type, and when the
valley was damned the old grave
yard was cemented over and was
soon lost to sight under the accu-
mulating waters. She was the

Jones and was born February %,
1894. When % years old she mar
ried another Davies. She had
twelve chill jren, OF whom nine ale
still alive, and she has a regiment
Of grand and great & cand children.
Her death was just the dying Of a
life that had done its duty, and up
to the last the old dame was perfect
ly conscious. Though she had been
in this country for fifty years she
spoke hardly any English being
most conservative in holding to
the old Cymric tongue.
Despite her old age she had not
failed in any Of her faculties. She
could remember when naughty
children were frightened by the
threat that "Boney" would come
and take them off to France. She
used to tell of the rejoicings over
the battles OF Waterloo and Tha-
falgar and the triumphant return
Of the twenty-seventh Royal Fusi
lers; OF the days Of the regincy. OF
the death Of King George III
William w. short Reign and The
accession Of the present queen.
For the last 10 years she lived
with her son.in-law. She was {
member Of the Welsh Presbyterian
church in east 13Sth. street, anC
was the oldest life member Of the
bible society. The funeral will
take place from her home at 4 p
m. today and the burial will be In
