The statement of An Italian sea cap
that a ship goes faster when her sails
are perforated with a number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was
at hret looked upon as too ridiculous
for consideration. Unbelievers, how
ever, now ind that the italian has gone
a long way toward proving his case,
His theory is that the force of the wind
cannot fairly take effect on an inflated
sail, because of the cushion of lmmov-
able air that fills up the hollow. To
prevent this cushion collecting he bored
a number of holes In the sail, which
let part Of the wind blow right through
II and allowed the remainder to strike
against the canvas and exercise Its full
effect. Several trials have been made.
and It looks as II this Is another OF those
paradoxioal truths which appear so i'm
possible on the surface. The expert
ments were made in all weathers. In
A light wind a boat with ordinary sails
made -four knots, while with the per-
forated sails she covered Ave and n
quarter knots; In a fresh breeze she did
seven knots with ordinary sails, and
eight and three-quartsrs knots with
the Improved sails; In a strong wind
she did eight knots and ten knots re
spectively. II this augmented speed
we're sustained throughout a long voy-
age 1t would increase the value of the
ship one-ffth, as she would make the
same trip In four weeks that she did
before in five weeks.

AN HISTORIC STEAMER.
1T Has Had a Remarkable Career on
the Hudson River.

IT Has Had a Remarkable Career on
the Hudson River.
The steamer Drew left Albany on hei
last trip Saturday night, amidthe shrek
ing of tugs and steamers. If the noisy
demonstration was not so great az that
which heralded Its first arrival 1t is be-
cause not so many vessels ply the
waters of the Hudson at Albany as
there did thirty years ago. Then the
river front of Albany was lively and
bustling. Now but for the tugs of the
Roman line, the New York and New
burg boats, and the few steamers that
carry freight and passengers to nearby
points. the waters of the river would
be unyexed by passing craft.
1t is the day of the railroad, but,
while wind and water hold, the pleas
ure and profit OF marine adventure
will never lose their charm. And so,
though we speed the departing Drew,
the coming Adirondack is cordially well
coined. II at the end Of the first quar-
ter OF the twentieth century the boat
which comes 30 gay in bunting and
cleaning paint, so endowed with all
that makes marine architecture of this
time wonderful and c~omplete-if, we
say, this boat, then grown old and out
of date, is retired with a record as hon
orable as that which the Drew takes
with 1t In retirement, Its owners will
have reason to congratulate them
selves. Eos the Drew's history Is one
of great distinction and honor.
This notable steamer has been cens
manded by Stephen J. Roe, now trans
ferred to the Adirondack, from the
day 1t went into commission. II Its
saloons and cabins could talk what a
history they would tell; for, in Its time,
the Drew carried as passengers nearly
every person of prominence on this
side Of the Atlantic, and travellers
from the old world were bound to have
one trip on the Hudson River night

There was nothing like them In the
world-certainly nothing in Europe
which anywhere approached them fol
space of accommodation, for appoint
msnts, and for general comfort. Tue
boats on the Rhine were small when
compared with them, while the channel
packets produced hideous Nightmares
when contrasted with the luxury OF
travel on the Hudson. Not Even the
boats on the Mississippi. when travei
on that river was at Its height, were to
be mentioned in the same breath. Tit

Waiting f,r III, Bird.

A small boy who had Il great dislike
for school returned home for dinner
a little earlier than usual.
Tommy, o naughty boy, you have
been playing truant," said his mother;
"a little dicky bird came in at the win

The next morning Tommy set out for
school MS usual. During the morning
his mother heard a noise from the far
end of the kitchen, and. looking round
there, saw Tommy crouched under the
table.
Tommy, you rascal, what are you
doing there?"
Seeing that he was discovered he
crawled out. and. holding up a brick
which he had by him, said:

Bantie belonged to BERTHE, and she

rest of her companions, even to old
Buff, the huge Cochin, whenever Ber-
