A NEW TRICK TO LEARN.
Furling TOpsails Done Away With on a
Shtp With Progressive Owners.

Sntp WIN 9GOSreSslVc owners.
All the inroads made by steam on
the business of pushing vessels along,
of which the wind had monopoly not
50 many years ago, have not stopped the
spirit Of invention from finding out
ne's ways of doing things in connection
with sailing ships. To the eye of the
ordinary "landlubber" the rigging Of a
ship is fearfully and wonderfully tan
gled mess CT ropes and lines, but to the
sailor, whose business it is to know all
about the ropes and things, the mazo
and the various parts which compose it
are the embodiment Of symmetry and
the perfection of order. AS the ship was
rugged and the sails handled in the days
of long ago, 50 are the processes carried
out today, and if it is hard to teach an
| old dog new tricks, it is still harder to
get the regulation "'barnacle back, y
who was brought up on salt horse and
lime juice, with an occasional taste of
a ropes end by the way of dessert, to
! adopt any of the new tangled ideaa
which are constantly cropping up in
matters maritime. For this reason,
while inventors are not slow to offe1
improvements, it is sometimes difficult
to get them adopted TO a sufficient ex-
tent to insure realization of the for
tune which is ever hid at the foot of the
inventors rainbow.
This fact is exemplified by the fuss
which has been made over the arrival
at San Francisco of u vessel with an
entirely new scheme of handling hei
topsails, The old plan of furling tho
sail by lowering the upper topsail yard,
while the leechlines, clewlines and
buntlines gathered the sail as close to
the yard as possible, is done away with
by this new method. In place of having
a blunt gaslet'' gathering as much of
the sail as it could hold at the mast.
the remainder being strung out ON the
yard and held in place by winding tho
whole sail into a big hunt gasket. .
the yard IS left bare, save for the tout
hauls' or the lines left TO reset tho sail
when it is needed.
The sail on this progressive shin is
furled by hauling to the center of the
yard from each yardarm, the top and
bottom of the sail travelling together.
This is accomplished by railways on the
upper and lower topsail yards. These
consist of I irons holted to the yards.
are fitted on the fore side, and serve in
the place Of jackstays. On these rail-
ways are placed roller hanks, to which
the top and bottom Of the sail are Sc
cured. The sail is taken in By lines
leading through blocks at the mast, and
set by outhauls running through blocks
at the ends Of the yards Reefs in the
sail are taken vertically anidships, the
slack sail being on the forward side,
thus preventing Tapping.
One advantage Of the new rig, it Is
said, Is that two men can haadle the
sail, as there is no yard to hoist and
lower, although il would seem that
when the expansion and contraction Of
canvas under climatic iniuenco are con-
sidered tile raising or lowering Of thu
para few inches would BE- advisable.

III
How the German emperor win bring
up his only daughter is 10 subject Of
wonderment to the Berliners They
know that. princess as she is. she will
be taught to be good housewife, to
sew, to cook, perhaps, and to order din
ner certainly. For the sovereign's ideal
woman is strictly domestic person. as
his ideal man is stout soldier. His lit
tie boys haven't much fun in their daily
lives. Concerning these lives sketch
says:
In the Spartan upbringing of his chill
dren the kaiser rivals his ancestor,
Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia Accord
ing to Klausmann's .Leben in Deutsch-
en- Kaiserhaus, the life of the royal
children at Berlin is not sweetened by
hours of inactivity. In their years Of
infancy the kaiserin ministers to almost
all their wants, spends a good part of
the day with them, and enters into all
their amusements. When the princes
arrive at the age of 9 things are all
changed and it is all work. They are
then allowed about an hour and half
out of their waking hours to themselves;
all the rest of their day is spent in study
and physical training. Even in holiday
time their tutors accompany them TO
superintend their studies
Here, for example, is an ordinary
days work for the crown prince and his
two brothers. In summer the happy
dreams of childhood are disturbed at
O'Clock, in winter at 7. Breakfast, con-
sisting Of one cup of tea and roll, is
served at $780, From until 8 80 they
are hard at work at lessons. to help the
digestion of which they are supplied
with second frauhstuck of bread, with
water tinged with red wine Immedi-
ately afterward they start ON their books
again, but mental exercise is mixed
with physical, and an hour is spent in
gymnastics and horse exercise, which
lasts till 10. Thereupon they accom-
pany to dinner the military and civil
governors of the castle, and, following
this, they have brief breathing time
TO themselves. But the happy moments
soon fee away and again they have to
be at their exercises-this time science
and music till O'Clock. Then supper is
served, and by s O'Clock they are all
snug III bed.
In sport and other manly exercises
they are proficient and can ride as well
without saddle as most people can
with. Their military education is also
pushed to the utmost, and that they
should understand the principles of war
thoroughly, miniature fortress has
been built for them of solid masonry.
The walls are nine feet high, and in
the revolving towers the beleaguered
have the opportunity of repelling hos
tilities by means of miniature Krupp
guns and all the latest implements of
modern warfare. Philadelphia Ledger.

Tho Uganda Railroad.

The line will be constructed on what
is technically known as the telescope
principle"-that is, it will be pushed
forward from one end (the coast) only,
and the rails and material will come
forward along the route already laid.
The estimated time for construction is
four years, and the total cost will be
Ell, 500, 600. The exact gauge and weight
of rails have not yet been finally decided
upon, but the valuable experience al
ready gained in India with similar lines
will enable these details to be deter
mined without difficulty The original
estimate, prepared in 1898 by Major
Macdonald and Captain Pringle, gave a
total cost of nearly G2, $50, 600, or over
e3, 400 per mile, which has been modi-
fed in the new design down to e2,700
per mile.
Without wearying our readers with
arrays of figures, we may briefly state
that the working expenses are estimated
at e40, 600 or $50, 900 per annum, ac-
cording as three trains per week each
way or only one train per week each
way is run. The entire journey will
take eight days, and. as travelling will
be only by day, strong stations, similar
to those in India, will be provided for
the trains to put up at nights.
Three classes of traffic will be carried
namely, goods, passenger and govern
ment stores traffic. In connection with
the first named it is interesting to note
that the present rate of carriage by ma
tive porters for the journey is ESQ per
ton, tariff which will be lowered to
Ell per ton ON the new railway. Some
idea Of the frightful cost of the present
arrangement may be gathered from the
fact that the carriage alone Thy native
porters) of a steamer to be built ON the
Victoria Nyanza amounted TO e12. 200.
A large trade III barley, wheat, india
rubber, ivory and coffee, as well as cot
ton, is anticipated, and it speaks vol
umes for the future of the new line that
ground along the route is already being
taken up. Chambers Journal

A NEW POTATO BUG.
He Can Eat Ten Potato Plants While the
Old Variety Is Feeding ON One.

He Can Eat Ten Potato Plants While the
Old Variety Is Feeding on One.
Mr.. ]. f. Guilmartin has discovered
a new variety of potato bug on his
place, on the White Bluff shell road,
about mile and half beyond the toll
gate. If the nature Of this insect is not
investigated and some means of de-
stroying it discovered, it is liable to be-
come matter of impossibility to raise
potatoes in the county.
The ravages of the old fashioned po-
tato bug, the round fellow with the
black and yellow stripes, is as nothing
compared with the destruction this new
visitor can and is doing The new bug
averages over half an inch in length
and has body in three parts-a head
and neck, both of which are small
and large body 1t is striped brown
and black, and has wings, though the
bug appears to prefer using his long
legs in running, when disturbed, to fly
ing.
A hundred or more of these bugs will
gather on one plant, and they make
short work of it. They strip the plant
of its leaves, leave their refuse right on
the stem, and it might also be said they
breed while they are eating. They are
clannish and live together in swarms,
but at the rate they eat it would not
take them long to go through big po-
tato patch.
Unlike the old bug, it will not touch
poison. Mr.. Guilmartin has tried paris
green and other methods Of getting rid
of the bug, but as soon as the poison is
sprinkled on the plant the insect scoots
off and makes tracks for another plant
Mr.. Guilmartin soon found that the
poison remedy was ineffective, and, as
he is at loss as to how to get rid of
The bug, he has practically turned over
to them the field of potatoes. He dis
covered them only day or two ago.
but since then their number has dou-
bled, and they have destroyed nearly
an acre of potatoes.
The old bug is inactive and is easily
got at, but this one can run swiftly,
and he takes to his legs as soon as he is
disturbed. This is the only place in
which the insect has yet been seen. Mr.
Guilmartin has never seen or heard of
anything like it before, and he is very
DESTROYS of having an investigation of
the insect made, in the hope that some
means of effectually destroying it can
be discovered Should the bug once get
a foothold on the truck farms in the
county, potato planting would certainly
suffer seriously. 1t has been suggested
that the Truck Growers association
take the matter in hand and see if the
chronological department at Washing
ton will not give his bugship a little
study, with view to eradicating him
It is very evident that it will not be
long before something will have to be
done, for the insects are multiplying
rapidly, and their equals in the quick
work of destroying plant have never
been seen anywhere in this section, at
least. Savannah (Ga. News.

The sale of seats for the Hillhouse

siders the former overcrowded condi-
ton of the dancing will be missing this

Bishop RYAN Dead,

Buffalo, April 10.--The Right Rev.
Stephen Vincent Ryan, bishop of the
Roman Catholic diocese of Buffalo,
died at 6:20 o'clock this morning.
Stephen Vincent Ryan, Roman Cath
olic bishop of the diocese of Buffalo,
was born in the village of Almonte,
Ont, on New Years day, 1926, but dur
ing his childhood the family moved to
Potttsville, Pa He was educated at
the seminary of st. Charles Borromeo,
near Philadelphia, and at the age of
nineteen entered the Congregation OF
the Missionary Lazarists at Cape Cir
ardeau, Mo. He was ordained to the
priesthood by Archbishop Kenrick OF
st. Louis in 1S49, and was appointed
professor at st. Mary's of the Barrens
and afterward professor at Cape Cir
ardeau. Later, he was elected presi-
dent of ST. Vmcent's college at Cape
Girardeau, and in 1857 was appointed
Visitor Of the Lazarists Of the United
States. During his incumbency the
mother house was removed from st.
Louis to Germantown, Pa, where he
remained until 1868, when he was con-
secrated bishop of Buffalo. Bishop
Ryan was a diligent student of church
history and an earnest and instructive
preacher. He was greatly beloved by
his people, and his silver jubilee in 1898
was a memorable event, and was at
tended by Cardinals Satolli and Glib
bons, and all the eminent archbishops
and bishops of the country.
