Not ~ Easy Matter a. ~ Appears to

The motion Of a steamship on the
Atlantic when the sea IL calm Is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous mo-
mcntum OF the vessel under his feet.
Aftor the engines have been slowed
down thore Il a startling revelation OF
the energy Of motion. This energy can
also be accurately calculated with the
aid OF mathematical formulas. and the
time and distance within which the
motion can be totally arrested and the
ship be brought to a stand may be as
cortained In similar manner. This
calculation has recently been made
for several well-known ships
To stop the Etrurla, whose "dlsplace-
mcnt" Is $3.50 tons. horse power 1881,

In oneh case the vessel Is supposed to be

is produced by reversing the action OF

naked eye. Mr.. Mounier's method Of
work is to write for three hours two or
three times a week, and at one sit-
ing he placed on the card about 1000
words. The strain on the eyes is
severe. He uses a steel pen and O
purplish ink. The card lie not half
filed, yet it contains 1902 words, and
Mr.. Monnier feels certain he will have
over 10, 900 words on the bit Of paper
