 On September 20 the largest passen- ger steamer in the world will enter the port of New York for the first time.
 The name of this boat is Kaiser Will helm der Crosse" It's dimensions are: Length over all, GAS feet; beam, 66 feet; depth, 43 feet; tonnage, 14,000; displace- ment, 10000 tons. Eight such ships, with prows and sterns touching, would reach mile less 96 feet. With a clear space of only 12 feet between them, the eight would cover exactly mile. The Campania and Lucania, sister ships that are the pride of the Cunard navy, are considerably smaller. The Kaiser Will helm der Crosse" is the latest addition to the ships of the North German Lloyd, and her visit to the port of New York on the date named above will mark her maiden voyage.
 Naturally the North German Lloyd folks, from the general manager down to the stokers on every one of the ships are exceedingly enthusiastic about this new vessel. She has cost an enormous

Soldiers Needed.

A request has recently been made for more troops in the Yellowstone park, and it is probable that a company of infantry will be sent there in the near future. It is alleged that tourists in the park frequently commit depre- dations, such as felling rare trees for fuel, killing game, catching fish, soap ing the geysers to induce premature eruption, etc. The force now in the park is not sufficiently large to patrol 1t thoroughly and prevent the vandal- isms complained of. A company of in- fantry will doubtless render valuable assistance in patroling the park and enforcing the law relating to trespass and depreciation, but the work will never be thoroughly and effectively done until a military post is established in the park and at least q squadron of cavalry stationed at it for the protec- ton of the forests and the game and the geysers and the other matters of interest found in this remarkable re- gion.-Miitary Gazette, Chicago.

neighborhood of their work. The cap tain and officers are near the bridge on the awning deck; the engineers and firemen on the main and lower decks, close to the engine room, and so on, so that none of those who operate the ship need be seen by the passengers in passing between their quarters and their posts of duty.
 The great length of the Kaiser Will helm der Crosse will tend to lessen the tendency to pitch; there are big bilge lxeels at the sides to reduce the rolling motion as much as possible, and thus it is hoped the chief provocations to sea sickness have been reduced to mini mum. Besides, the big engines have been balanced" by a peculiar system, so that the up and down motion of the great masses of metal contained in the pistens, pistonrrods, cranks and con- meeting parts will not be felt.
 If all that is hoped for by the builders and owners of this monster ship comes

amount of money. Just how much no one will say of course, for steamship men are always chary of such informa- tion; but there is good reason to be- lieve that $2,000,0o0 would be much too small guess. She is beautiful as well as costly. Indeed, to the layman she appears by far the handsomest ship afioat, judging from the model recently put on exhibition at the New York office of the company. It is expected, too, that she will prove very fast yes sel; in fact her builders have guaran- teed a speed of 22 knots an hour, and though this result cannot be looked for till she has been voyaging some time, it is freely predicted that eventually she will show her heels to both the giant Cunard boats.
 When the new vessel thoroughly finds" herself, then, as MT. Kipling would say, some exciting races across the Atlantic will be in order.
 There is no doubt that the North Ger man Lloyd line has made its supreme effort in putting this boat on the trans Atlantic ferry. It is some years now since it's vessels, though admirable, in many ways, being well appointed, speedy and safe, were fully up to date.

 Hobart, Jr.,' may "bike" and golf and play tennis; he may eat ravenously, and still his cheeks are as free from tan as a girls, and he does not gain flesh. He likes tennis better than golf because it is more exsiting. About 30 or 40 people offer to play tennis with him every day.

There are 200 staterooms for $50 first cabin passengers, accommodations for 370 second cabin passengers, and room for 800 in the steerage. The total pas senger capacity of the ship, therefore, is 1,520.
 The big engines of Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" are expected to develop 23,000 horse power. There are two of these engines, one for each shaft, built on the triple-expansionp principle. Each high pressure cylinder is 52 inches in diameter, the intermediate cylinders be- ing 59s4 inches and the great low-pres- sure cylinders 961a inches, or a little more than eight feet. A water-tight, longitudinal bull1head separates the two engines. Each of the two three bladed propellers is 22 feet 334 inches in diam eter. They are made of bronze and each weighs 26 tons. The coaling surface in the steam condensers measures several acres, and the LOGO separate tubes, if placed end to end would reach 25 miles in a straight line.
 Besides these chief engines there are 66 others, the total number of steam cylinders being 124. The centrifugal pumps that would be used in case it were necessary to rid the ship of great deal of water in a hurry can throw $500 tons an hour.
 The bulkhead system for safety's sake, has been carried further on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" than on any other ship. There are 16 trans verse bulkheads, and the longitudinal

The beau of the Hotel Champlain, where President Mckinley is spending his vacation, is easily bigger secial lion than any one of the bellies. Jealousy onaws at the hearts of these peiies' They say mean things, and look meaner things out of the corners of thelr eyes Int the beau has no rivals, male or Ie- male. His sway over all of the guests oi the hotel is undisputed.
 Everybody likes to talk with him. lie is always the center of a beyy when ln the hotel corridors. In city directories and on the hotel register this beau IS known as Master Hobart, son of the vice president of the United States. The guests know him as Hobart, Jr." That is the name that his doting father likes best-which would not have much weight if his son did not agree with him.
 Hobart, Jr." is just 13 years old. He is away from his tutors in the sum ner, and is out for a good time, with six cameras, a bicycle, his golf clubs, horse. and father and mother who can't say "No!" to him.
 His face is picture of Hobart, ST. S. It has the same retrousse nose, the same twinkling eyes, the same good-humored mouth and the same broad forehead But Hobart, Jr., has great deal of eat ing to do before he will be as big as his father, who, now that he outweighs Speaker Reed is looking for more fields to conquer.

bulkhead in the engine-room which di- vide the ship into IS compartments in all. Each of the four groups of boilers is placed in a separate water-tight com partment; thus in case of collision the ship need never ewithout steam to op- crate engines or pumps. This is an en- tirely new thing, upon which the North German Lloyd folk pride themselves highly. Besides, the double bottom is cut up into 22 subdivisions, and this provides additional protection.
 If, however, the impossible should happen and the vessel spring a leak, or if she should go ashore, there would be little danger to the passengers, since 24 large life boats are slowed on the awning deck ready for immediate use and perfectly accessible. These boats, indeed, present one of the most notice able of the big ships visible features.
 The steerage passengers occupy the forward part of the ship; the first cabin passengers are slowed amidships, and the second cabin passengers aft. It takes 1,6o0 25-candle electric lamps to light the various parts of the vessel.
