With all his undoubtedly wonder
full advances in tie science of engi-
neering. man has not outrivaled ma
ture even yet. Take the cnse Of the
exchange of power for speed. The
wild duck, it has been tritely OBJ
served, is about the last bird we
should expect speed from. It has
enormous surface, is very heavy
forward and has a comparatively
long neck and heavy head, and at the
same time it has very small wings,
but Notwithstanding these apparent
disadvantages the wild duck is one
Of the swiftest birds in flight, sur
passed only by the wild goose, which
is even more heavily handicapped.
The whale is q p%onderous bulk,
having propellers which are exactly
the reverse of what we should sup
pose the correct position, lying hori-
zontally on the water when at rest
instead of vertically, rs vessels pro
pellers are. Moreover, the iukes Of
the whales screw L very small in
deed, and also the reverse of what
man makes. Their least surface is
at the tip and their largest at the
hub or junction Of the body, but a
whale goes through the water with
this apparatus like a fast steamboat
and can tow q heavy whaleboat full
of men at a most surprising velocity.

A most remarkable meeting was held
q few weeks ago in the parlors Of afash-
ionablo hotel in Memphis. Il was a
gathering Of a considerable body Of the
city's leading women, socially and phil
anthropically regarded, who had come
in response to a call for the women in
terested in furthering the manufacture
ing interests of the city.
1t ended in the forming of a woman's
auxiliary to supplement the work of
the Yonng Mems Business league.
Their motto is evidently to DO loyal
to Memphis in every way and devoted
to her best interests. They undertake to
secure the Memphis trade for the Mem
phis manufacturer. Other things being
equal, the Memphis buyer is to be urged
to become q patron Of the Memphis
maker.
Schemes for town improvement have
already been undertaken, and the spirit
Of sincerity with which the matter has
been taken up is indicated in the pre-
siding oficer's-Mrs, William Ran
dolph-address, who cautioned her lis
teners against the first enthusiasm,
which sometimes dies out, and urged
them to serious, persistent effort.
1t is significant that almost every
woman present was n clubwoman and
that Memphis is one OF tho most -four
ishing of women's club centers in tho
south. This is right in limo with the
work Of club women on every side,
They first organize, consolidate and try
their own abilities to acquire knowl-
edge and information. Then comes the
desire to apply their new found strength
in practical ways. Such is going to'be
tbs constantly increasing character and
value Of tho work Of women's clubs.

She way Try Tor tho Americn's Cup.
England has a yachtswoman SO skill
ful and renowned that no ono scouts
che notion Of her winning the coveted
Americas cup some fine day. She Is
Miss Maud Sutton. Sho comes Of an old
and distinguished family, especially in
the annals Of yachting. Her father, Sir
Richard Sutton, Bart, was a famous
yachtsman. His schooner, tho Alino.
was one Of the most celebrated Of q cell
obratcd feet In 1871 Mr.. Ashbury,
WHO was determined to have another
trg for Tho Americas cup, built 1.-Two
MIA For tho Prince Of Wales cup she
had as an antagonist Alina who boat
her.
His son, the late Sir Richard Sutton,
inherited his fathers tastes and wns
one Of the gallant band which patri-
otically journoyod across the Atlantic
His cutter, Gencsta, carried of several
handsome guerdons in these waters, but
she was defeated by the Puritan for the
coveted international trophy.
IL WA on such vessels as these and
surrounded by such influences that Miss
Sutton passed her earliest years Her
nrst practical experience OF racing dates
from 1891, when she and her sister
owned the ono.half rater Eileen between
thom. Next year the sisters dissolved
partnership, Miss Maud Sutton pre-
ferring Pique, while her sister came to
America for the felicitously named dier
WEI Winn. Whereas the latter took
eight first prizes in IL starts, Pique only
secured three in IA.
Tired Of tho uncertainty connected
with English built boats aud inspired
by the phenomenal success Of Wee
Winn, Miss Maud Sutton ordered an
American boat, and the ~one-rater Nor
wena was turned out at Bristol, r. l.,
in 1898. Morwena answered expecta-
tions, even If they were inflated. Her 80
prizes in 1893 are now represented by a
handsome diamond crescent, and al
ready this year she has obtained is
prizes out Of "a starts.
About Miss Sutton's s~eamanship IL is
unnecessary to speak. The fact that she
always steers her boat herself is sum
cient testimony to her skill and ability.
She is rarely stopped by the weather
