subjected to any worry or discomfort, as was the case on La Gascogne last winter. I estimate the cost of passen- ger steamer at about $1, 500, ,000. This would cover the cost of every modern convenience.
 Engineer Melville is interested ill my propellers. If the Cushing had not sailed would have improved on her propellers and increased her speed knots an hour. The secret of the alter hating propeller is this: The blades are constructed like fish s tail When the blades strike the water they present a great surface of resistance, and while recovering they present surface akin to the edge of a knife, and by having two propellers in succession the other takes up the work that the first one can not accomplish. No power is lost, and no wash results from the whole series of propellers.
 ''The whole system of propellers is worked by switchboard which is oper- ated in the charthouse. Any propeller can be run or stopped at will, and in this way the captain is independent of his officers or crew. "-New York Jour

Tom Reeds Preference.

A year or two ago Matt Quay, Tom Reed and other big Republicans sat in the senate cloakroom at Washington dis cussing Ben Harrison. Reeds caustic comments on the administration of the Indiana statesman were greatly enjoyed by all present. Finally Quay turned to Reed and said:
 ''See here, Reed. You never miss an opportunity to curse Harrison for going back on his friends. Now, I'll wager something handsome that when you are president you will turn around and do the same thing"
 '.Let us hope not. :" drawled Reed. "I would rather have few friends than be president. '-Chicago Times Herald.

i. THREE DAY VESSEL
R. PAiNToN lNvENTs ONE TO GO
 TO EUROPE IN THAT TIME.

Working Model Exhibited Tn New York. To Be 636 Feet In Length-The Propel- lers Are at Bow, Stern and on Both Sides of the Boat.
 The model of steamship designed to 3ake 38 nautical miles an hour and to Foss the ocean in three days was exhib- ted in the Maritime Exchange in New fork recently by MT. Richard Painton, As inventor of the system of propulsion. is thus described in his own words:
 This is a working model made by tedham & Marceron, model makers for be United States navy. My object in khibiting here is to form stock con- Rny with a paid in capital of $3, ,000,- DO. The model represents 8 vessel 636 bet long, capable of carrying 3, 300 pas engers, 400 officers and sailors, 5,000 ms of coal, 1000 tons of freight, 400 ms of food for the passengers and 300 ons of food for the crew.
 I gave the model a successful trial efore the board of naval constructors nd engineers at Philadelphia, and l ave the assurance of Chief Engineer Melville of the navy that my system of &istributing power and my patent pro- ellers will revolutionize the construo- lon of ocean going vessels. I will ex- bit the model before the house of rep- Esentatives and the senate when con- Eess convenes i'll December, and will hdeavor to have an appropriation bill bssed to build cruiser that will be perior to anything that the naval pow ks of the world can show. The distrl- Intion of power is the whole secret. We |ave a series of from IA to 20 propel- CTS, four at the stern, four at the bow md from four to eight on each side of he vessel. They are all worked by in- ependent motors, and vessel could be ropelled by any one of them. Again, be distribution of power permits yes el to turn on it's own axis. The engines fe worked like ordinary stationary en- nes ashore.
 The shafts that work the propellers re from 12 to 25 feet in length and Reigh from to 10 tons each. At resent the shafts of an ocean steamship re 65 feet long and weigh about 60 ps. The four propellers on the bows ave twofold duty. In the first place, hey help to propel the ship either for bard. backward or sideways, and in he second place they keep the bow Ready in rough weather and save the rain on the stern propellers. The mo DTS are not connected with each other. They have a capacity of 6 Is horse ower, and can work the propellers al
 average speed of l,800 revolutions Plnute. Under the system the shiI

 "A vessel propelled by such system kould save fully 50 per cent in coal hould some of the propellers become esabled the passengers would not bt

BOSTON LETTER.
Got Its First Ant'.Toxine.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. /

The Boston Board of Health has
Just obtained its first consignment of
ant.toXine from the plant established
on Gdllop's island last winter. The ex-
pertinent which was tried after many
months of dehberation and prepare
tion has proven success, and the in
dications now are that diphtheria will
receive hard battle next winter, from
the united forces of the city and state
health boards, with anti.toNlne as
their ammunition. AT its establish
ment at Bussey farm the state board
has four horses, from which it is
drawing serum, aud although but one
equine has been tapped at the Gallop's
island plant there are three more which
are practically immune. THESE eight
animals promise liberal sup

source of the supply, will be

yard that the receiving ship Wabash,
which has been stationed at the yard
for 20 years, was to be placed out OF
commission and removed from its
present moorings. 1t is we'll known
that the navy department has long
been considering the feasibility OF
dispensing with receiving ships or
"guardos" at the several navy yards,
except where they are absolutely
necessary. Sec. Herbert is of opinion
that receiving ship at the New York
navy yard and another at the Mare
island yard, California, are sufficient
for the needs of the navy today, and
that the money expended for the
maintenance of this class of vessels

According to the Railway Age the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
has fitted up trains with all apparatus
necessary for creosoting railroad ties
and treating them by the zinc chloride
process of chemical preservation.
This train is moved over the line to
places where there are accumulations
of ties, thus saving great deal of
costly transportation formerly neces-
sary when the work had to be done at
