has been in Scotland inspecting the
new steamer which is now being built
by Denny Brothers, the celebrated ship
builders of Dumbarton. This craft is
destined to take the place of the Mono
wal. which is scheduled to make but
two more round trips between here and
Sydney. According to Glasgow papers,
struction will be far ahead of any
steamer that ever made the trip be-
tween America and Australia, and will
compare with the crack steamers Of the
The tonnage of the new steamer will
be fully 400 while the length is $50
feet. The steamer is to be fitted UP
with every modern Improvement, and
some of the famous steamers running
between New York and Europe. The
new vessel will have first-class pas

STOPPING A SHIP.
Time and Distance 1t Takes to Ar
rest Il Vessels Motion.

The motion Of steamship on the At
lantic, when the sea is calm, is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous momen-
tum Of the vessel under his feet After
the engines have been slowed down
there is a startling revelation of the
Youths Companion. This energy can
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
certained in similar manner. This
calculation has recently been made for
several well known ships. To stop the
Etruria, whose displacement is $3.50
tons, horse power Ii, ,321, and speed 20. Is
knots an hour, two minutes and forty
seven seconds are required, and during
the process Of stopping, the ship will
forge ahead 2, 464 feet, which is only 176
feet less than half mile The United
States cruiser Columbia, with a dis
placement of 1850 tons, 1891 horse
power and a speed of 22.8 knots, can be
stopped in two minutes and fifteen Sec
onds, and within space of 2,147 feet.
The little flyer Cushing, also of the
United States navy, whose displacement
Is only 1O5 tons, and horsepower 1,754,
while it's speed is 22.48 knots, can. be

Carlingford
The present volume is divided into
four books. The first, entitled "Hon-
orable Women Not a Few" deals with
Christian Rome of the fourth century
and the place in 1t of certain Christian
ladies and their circle The second
book, '"The Popes Who Made the Pa
pacy," deals with Gregory the Great,
Hildebrand, Gregory VII. and Inno-
cent III. The third book, which is in
Mrs. Oliphant's very best vein, deals
with the brief period of Rienzi's power.
The fourth book sketches the achieve
ments of those popes who made the
beauty Of the city and left it substan-
TALLY as the modern traveller finds it.
The greater part Of the illustrations
are by Joseph Pennell, the charm Of
whose work in this sort is too well
known to need restating.

In books, as in men and women,
strength excuses a multitude OF fauItS.
1.-The Years That the Locust Hath
Eaten is essentially a strong book,
and the impression of vital force it con-
veys is not Iessened by the fact that
its strenuouSness Is always high
pitched and at times almost hysterical.
1t is the story Of life that was
thrown away, and it is told in a way
to wiring the readers heart very ef-
fectually. 1t is impossible not to share
the authors love and hate of her char
acters or to get out Of ones share Of
participation in the tragedy Of Pris-
ella Momerie's life. The control which
Miss HoldSworth exercises over her
readers emotions is unusual in modern
literature, and the young, to whom the
shedding of tears is delicious misery,
will welcome the book in it's entirety.
The older reader will recoil a little
from the insistent appeal to his SYM
palthy, just as he recoilS in real life be-
fore an overwhelming amount Of un-
happiness, and will perhaps demand
that the writer exercise her unusual
power upon different material. A hap
py book, or even a book like life itself
in which a certain percentage Of COM
fort accompanies even irretrievable
tragedy, which should be as coercing as
this one is,would be great boon to the
reading world and would not be far
from great novel. In addition to her
strength in the handling of the tragic
elements in sordid life, Miss Holds
worth has the gift Of clever dialogue
and ability to draw convincing and
1ife-like characters. Her power is suf-
fic1ent to carry her far, and no one

The value of buffaloes has been in
creas1ng more rapidly than anything in
this country. Town lots in Chicago are
notnlng to them. About ten years ago

SANDS OF them were killed for their
tongues, but a good buffalo is now
worth at least $500 when dead. It's skin
Is worth from 500 and upward, accord
ing to quality. and the head is worth
from $500 to $500 for mounting and
preservation as relic of this great
animal of the past. Such is the value
OF dead buffalo. Live buffaloes for
breeding are worth much more, and I
am told that the government buffaloes
are worth from $1,000 to $1,000 apiece.
AT this rate the fifty in Yellowstone
Park are worth from $50, 900 to s1OO. 900.
They are worth $4,000 to the hunters
who can sneak in and kill them in the
Wilds of the Yellowstone Park Sup
pose there were fifty $500 deer in the
adirondack mountains; how long would
1t be before they would be killed by
hunters. no matter what the laws
might be? The Yellowstone Park is
four times as large as the Adirondacks,
and is fifty times as far from civiliza-
ton. The country about it contains
people who care nothing for the buff
falo or other game, except for the
money which they can get out of them.
When you think that half dozen such
men could clean out this herd in one
day, provided they could find it in one
of the many wild valleys, and thereby
make $4,000 out of the job, you get
some idea of the danger which exists.

them east by the millions of pounds.
In 1872 more than 1000 900 pounds were
shipped over the Atchison, Topeka &.
Santa Fe road, and this road in 1874
handled nearly 100000 pounds. The
bones were sold by the ton, to be
ground up for fertilizer. In some cases
they were crushed before shipment.
and crushed bones were worth s18 a
ton, while the uncrushed sold for Sf2

buHaloes went to waste. 1t seldom
Drought more than two or three cents

when dried or jerked Jerked meat
sometimes brought as high as 10 cents
per pound, the tongues being worth
much more.
DOMESTICATION OF BUFFALOEs.
1t will be surprising to many to
know that the buffalo can be domesti-
Gated Had the government prohibited
the killing of wild buffaloes years ago
and provided in some way that they
might be captured and bred for
domestic uses, the United States would
today be hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars richer and there would be a. new
breed of cattle used by man. The male
buffalo crosses readily with the op-
posite sex of domestic cattle. and il
is shown that the half-breeds are much
harder than the ordinary stock. much
larger and that they produce good meat
and milk. BuffaIoes have been used as
oxen. They are easily tanned and they
could have been Of great value in log
ging camps and for the hauling of
heavy burdens. They do not need
much to eat, subsisting on the same
things as other cattle and being much
raster and more active than the ordi-
nary OK. Half-breed buffaloes can
stand the cold Of the open prairie dur
ing our severest winters where the
thermometer is from thirty to forty
degrees below zero. They are very
prolific, the cows having calves every
year. Such animals are almost as
large as the buffalo, being covered with
the same woolly hair. though the hair
is not so long nor so thick When 1t
Is remembered today that a buffalo
hide is worth at least $100, 1t can be
seen that the having of a herd of buff
faloes, of which the increase would be
regularly estimated, would be Of no
small value to the owner.
The bringing OF the buffaloes to
Washington will be a very good in
vestment for the government. AS they
stand they are worth a thousand dol
lars apiece, and there is no doubt that
any increase Of the herd will bring this
amount from the Geological Garden
of this and other countries The buff
faloes which are already here have
shown by their increase that the cIi-
mate of Washington is perfectly adapt
ed to them. They are thriving and
with the addition of those in the YeI-
lowstone 1t is believed that the herd
can be perpetuated. Such action as
congress takes upon the matter, how
ever, should be done at once, as a

WASHINGTON, FEB. 6.-The scien-

at the possible extinction of the buff
falo. Mr.. Langley, the head of the

that there are as many as 100 buffaloes
left in the United States. There are
few here m the national park, and a
small herd at Philadelphia. Austin

several, and it may be that there are

of skill in concocting songs for the av-

treatment Of them is marked by hui

As Harconrt Secs #.

LONDON, March 11.-Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the parliamentary
leader Of the opposition. made a po-
litical speech at Boscombe, in which
he dwelt in grave terms upon the con-
dition of British foreign relations. He
declared that ever since the present
government had been in Office England
had been in the midst of hurricane
of foreign complications, blowing from
every quarter. Their foreign policy
had been neither glorious nor econorni-
cal. Witness Armenia and the budget
estimates. The splendid isolation of
which the government was so proud
was the outcome of jingoism.
The situation abroad, Sir William
continued, had never been so grave
within the memory of living men. The
Armenian difficulty, he said, was a leg
acy of Beaconsfield's craftsmanship.
Venezuela, he pointed out, was the
gravest difficulty which menaced us.
He regretted that the blue book had
not been published in December, in
place of Lord Salisbury's dispatches
No word should escape his lips, how
ever, to embarrass the government in
obtaining a peaceful and honorable
settlement.
