Through Features Of New Time Table.

With summer time tables commencing
June 2Sd, there is change in the arrange
ment of trains from and to the Pro-
vinces and whereas the train leaving Bos
ton at A. NJ. and Portland p. NJ, has
heretofore run through to st. John, Hall
fax, &c, this will not be the case this
year, the through train reaching these
points will leave Boston at A. NJ, and
Portland at H. 10 A. NJ.
The 700 P. NJ. train from Boston,
leaving Portland at II. 90 p NJ, will run
through to St John connecting there for
all points cast and will have sleeper
attached running through to St. John.
Both the 800 A. NJ. and p. Nj. from
Boston, leaving Portland II 1OA. NJ.
and II P. NJ, will connect through to St
Stephen and st. Andrews
For the return service, commencing
June 30. tho Flying Yankee leaving St.
John at 6. 40 A. NJ, is resumed connect
ing with trains from Halifax and all
points east
new feature is that the Canadian Pa
cific express from Halifax and leaving
st. John at p M. for Montreal will af.
ter above date run through to Boston
with sleeping cars attached, and will take
the place of the train heretofore leaving
St. John at 8 p NJ. and as it arrives in
49,
season to connect with early trains for
New York and points south and west
The new service thus provides two fiji
teen hour trains day between st. John
and Boston and two twenty five hour

The Pullman Company announce the
best of Pullman car service for the Bos-
ton--St. John line On tho day trains will
be run the finest, most costly and modern
buffet cars with wide vestibules, finished
inside with vermillion wood and lighted
by gas. This vermillion wood Is i'm
ported from India and is very much like
rosewood in appearance only much richer.
| On the night trains will be used only
modern cars finished in the same style as
| those on the Bar Harbor Gay service,
which is called tho Empire" style fin
ished in vermillion wood, and upholstered
in baircloth. They are fourteen section
cars, with two additional sections in the
smoking rooms, and are all vestibuled.
This year there has been made anoth er
advance in better class of cars, and the
whole service will be better than it has
ever been before, and as good as on the
| Pennsylvania and other first class lines.
The parlor and sleeping car service on
the Bar Harbor route will be up to the
same high standard as in previous years.

THE NORTH POLE.
Prof. Dyche of Kansas Has Begun
Preparations for the Trip.


From the Kansas City Star.
Prof. L. L. Dyche of the Kansas Univer-
sitv who recently returned from the lar
north with the Peary expedition, states
that he has received an offer, and has
practically decided to go again lin quest OF
the north pole. Prof. Dyche does not state
who has offered to assist him, but 1t is
supposed that the American museum I'M
der whose auspices he Joined the eXpedi-
tior. has something to do with 1t. Ihls
Young Kansan asserts that nearly every
previous expedition has failed solely
through lack of proper food supply He
hopes to have supplies in unlimited guam
titles He says he does not fear the cold.
Give me plenty to eat he says, land
think | can get to the north pole as easily
as | got within 800 miles of It.. My idea is
to creep around the western coast of Green
land and never try to cross the ice noun
tains of Greenland. where 1t is next to i'm
possible to carry provisions. AS l worked
north, l would leave provision storehouses
50 thick that any man who entered that
country within ten years would be sure to
find plenty to eat. 1 would thus work
around the coast until the point was
reached for the last grand dash to the
pole by sledge or boat"
From this point it is his desire to leave
all whites behind and to rely upon Esqui-
mauX. When Greedy stood upon the sum-
nit of the great Greenland ice mountain,
he saw a chain Of islands away off in the
Prof Dyche believes he can reach those
Islands and the pole. Prof. Dyche is al
ready arranging his affairs to begin prepar-
atoms for the trip.

A NAVAL WONDER.
A Russian War Vessel That Holds
the Palm for Speed.

From London Engineering.
Very few vessels that have yet been
built have excited more interest than the
Sollol, the latest addition to the Russian
fleet. The guaranteed speed of twenty
nine knots was alone sufficient to account
for this, it having been two knots in ex-
cess of anything promised at the time the
contract for the vessel was made 1t may
be said at once that the interest shown by
engineers and naval architects in the pro-
grcss of the vessel has been more than
justified
The vessel is 100 feet long by IS feet 6
inches beam. She is. of course. a twin
screw vessel. and has three-stage COM
pound engines of the type ordinarily fitted
by Messrs. Yarrow in vessels of this class;
having cylinders IS inches. 26 inches and
S9la inches in diameter by is inches stroke.
The boilers are eight in number. They
are of the Well-known Yarrow type, and it
may be stated that boiler arrangements
are similar to those of the Hornet the
vessel built by this firm for the English
government, but which was about two
and one-fourth knots slower than the Rus
sian vessel 1t will be remembered that at
the preliminary trial the maximum mean
speed of 30 IA knots was obtained as a
second mean of three runs, with and
against the tide. Since then the official
three hours run had been made in the
presence OF Pflnce OukntomSky, naval at
tache to the Russian government. and
chief of the Russian commission; Capt.
Behr. who will command the vessel; Mr..
Poretchkn, engineer-in-chef to the COM
mission, and other naval representatives.
The mean speed on the six runs was
29.777 knots. AS the mean revolutions per
minute of the siX-mile run was 405.15 the
true mean speed of the vessel for the three
hours was 29.762 knots The coal burned
during the three hours was ten tons seven
hundredweight, with an average air pres
sure of l 3-S inches.
1t will be seen. therefore that the palm
for the swiftest vessel in the world has
once more reverted to the Poplar yard,
and the British navy once more loses the
supremacy in speed which it has held for
some time past.
The remarkable success of the Sokol has
not been due to a mere exercise of what
may aptly. if not correctly. be termed the
brute force of horse power. The maximum
power eXerted did not reach 1000. EX-
actly what 1t was we are not aware. but,
taking line through the spots obtained
by progressive runs on the preliminary trial,
it could not have exceeded the figure named,
