From Harper's Round Table.

From Harper's Round Table
Just as the government of the city OF
New York is divided among the mayor.
aldermen. and boards ana commissioners
of various departments. so the admins
tration of a giant steamship is divided
into specialties. The mayor is the chief
officer OF the city. The captain is the
chief officer Of the ship. lie is more than
that. From the time she leaves port un-
I'll she enters port he is master Of the
life and liberty OF every person aboard
the ship, as well as OF all the property in
II, He is an autocrat.. OF course he must
administer his authority wisely. Unwise
autoerats don't last long, whether afloat
or ashore.
The head OF each department is respon-
sible for all that goes on in 10. The first
officer is AT the head Of the crew. or nav
igating department The chief engineer
directs everything connected with the EN-
gines The chief steward has full control
or all that has 10 do with the comfort Of
the passengers and crew. Each of these
chiefs makes a written report at noon
every day. Thus the captain is kept in
formed of everything pertaining TO the
ships welfare.
Every one of the senior officers Of the
snip IS duly qualined MASTER capable
OF taking her around the world il need
be. The day is divided into watches" or
tours of duty. of four hours each. one
Junior officer is on the bridge with each
senior officer on duty. The senior officer
directs the ships course He never leaves
the bridge while he is Oh watch. Should
he do so he would be dismissed at once.
There is no excuse possible. 1t would be
Just as if he had died suddenly. His
friends would all feel sorry, but nothing
could be done to help him. Two seamen
are always on watch in the bow of the
ship, and two more in the foretop Twice
as many are on the lookout in thick
weather. Observations are taken every
two hours In the good Old sailing ship
days the captain was content to take
the sun at noon every day. But on an
ocean greyhound, rushing over the course
| between New York and Europe at the
rate of more than twenty miles an hour, it
ton be known all the time Fog may
come down at any moment, observations
may not be Obtainabie for ten or twelve
hours The positions of more than one
hundred stars are known. BY Observing
any one of these the ships whereabouts
can be ascertained in a few minutes. OF
course the road" becomes more or less
familiar to a man who crosses the ocean
along the same route year after year.
Yet this familiarity never breeds con-
, tempt or any carelessness. No man
knows all the influences that affect the
currents of the ocean. You may find the
current in one place the same forty times
in suCcession; on the forty-hrst trip Il
may be entirely changed. Sometimes a
big storm that has ended four or five
hours before the steamship passes a GER
tain place may have given the surface
current a strong set in one direction.
There is no means of telling when these
influences may have been at work save
by taking the ships position frequently.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The highest tunnel in the world, II $50
feet above tidewater, is to be bored by
Chicago contractors through Pixies Peak
Mountain, two miles distant from the
peak proper.
Cripple Creeks rapid growth has led
the people of Colorado Springs, Col. to
fear that the mining town might ere long
try to turn to it's own use the bountiful
water supply of Beaver creek which
line on the mountain. Colorado Springs
now gets 1t water from Bear creek, but
the place is growing fast, and to insure
water for the future the contract to tun-
mel the mountain and to let Beaver creek
through to augment the Bear creek flow
has been let.

quarter of solid gray granite, as hard
stone as is known The work will start
on the east ledge of the mountain, nine
teen miles from Colorado City, and will
run through to the northwest side of the
rocky bank Of Beaver creek The tunnel
will have a pitch of six feet in every 100
feet, a fact which will insure a rapid flow
of water.
When the diverted stream reaches the
tunnels outlet it will fall $50 feet in the
sheer into Bear Creek canon. with which
torrent it will mingle its waters
The tunnel will have Gothic roof, YER
teal sides, and fat base. It's dimensions
will be a width of five feet by a hight of
seven feet The body of water to which
