Designing a Steamship.

Now-a-d days little latitude is left to de-
signer, especially in cargo vessels, as the
builder has generally to con form to the
rules of some registry society and obtain
their classification. OF these societies there
are a considerable number the most i'm
portantant are Lloyd's Registry for the
British and Foreign Shipping, the French
Bureau Veritas, and the British Corpora
ton for the Survey and Registry of Ship
ping.
Classification has now become practical
ly compulsory in the United Kingdom since
the passing of the 1890 load line act, and
these three bodies are licensed by the
Board of Trade to assign freeboards along
with that Board. Now a freeboard can
only be assigned when vessel is up to a
certain standard of strength, and must be
assigned by one of the above mentioned
bodies, and it will thus be seen that de-
signer' originality is much restricted. 1t
is fortunate, however, that we escaped
the imposition of monopoly in the as
signment of freeboards which nearly be-
came law in 1890, or even the small free
dom which is now left the designer would
by this time, have practically vanished.
The designer, therefore, in preparing
his midship section, has simply to turn up
the rules of the registry society chosen,
where he will find the scantlings for the
ship of the dimensions chosen, given with
more or less clearness. Archibald Denny

To Reduce the Rolling of Ships.

Two very important means of diminish
ing the extent of rolling of ships have
been carefully investigated, and the
application of these means in any
particular vessel is open to every naval
architect. The less important Of these
two means, as being the less certain in its
action, is the fitting up of a water cham
Der on board the ship, so contrived that the
action of the water inside the chamber
shall as nearly as possible be always in
antagonism to the rolling of the ship,
tending to bring the ship to port at the
time she is starting to roll to starboard,
and vice versa. The names most closely
associated with this means, and its
theoretical and practical investigation,
are Mr. r. E. Froude, Mr.. Watts and Prof.
Blles. The more important of the means
OF diminishing the extent of rolling is the
application of bilge keels to tile checks
structures attached to the bilges for some
thing like half the length of the ship, and
projecting from the skin of the ship to
the extent of S to 36 inches, according to
the size OF the ship and the desire to take
tull advantage of their action. The most
recent and most thorough going investi-
CATION of their use and efficiency is that
of Sir William White and Mr.. r. E.
Froude in connection with the bilge keels
to H. NJ. S. Revenge.
Experiment in this case seemed to show
that the extent of rolling, after fitting the
bilge keels, was only about one third the
extent without the bilge keels This was
the case when the ship was not propelled
by her machinery; when, on the other
hand, she was SO propelled, even at a
moderate speed, the effect of the bige
keels was even more marked.
Previous experiments with other ships
had shown diminntion of rolling due to
the fitting of bilge zeels of one. half, and
for bilge keels of sufficient size that may
probably be taken as the least that may
be expected. 1t is, to some extent,
wonder that, such being the case, ships
should ever be built without these valua-
BILE adjuncts, and it is probable that, until
something better is devised, the future
will see an increasing number of ships in
which full advantage is taken of means
of giving steadiness SO effective, and, at
the same time, so moderate in cost. IF.

AS my eye chances fell upon the switch,

As my eye chances fell upon the switch,
about so feet to the west of it, observed
two men approaching; one carried ian
tern and the other bundle, and when
near the switch both halted. AS the
lightning flashes were now increasing, l
could discern the movements of both men
accurately. They were both roughly
dressed and resembled desperadoes of the
most ugly type. This was critical mo-
ment. The demons, for such they must
be, had begun to act, and that their pur-
pose was to throw the train into the mill
pond, began to assume reality. Murder

instrument therefrom and commenced to

to change the switch lights SO that when

ment the hoarse shrek of whistle told
me that the train was approaching and
that it was time for me to play my part in

A Pioneer Shoemaker.
Working at his Trade Although
Eighty=five Years Old.
Mr.. James McMien. of Champaign Has Followed the
Shoemaker's Trade All His Life Every Day at His
Bench Working with Apparently the Same Vigor
Young Mana Sketch of His Life.
From the Gazette. Champaign. Ill.

At the advanced age of eighty-five
years, James McMillen, of 1l2 West
Washington street, is one of the most
active men in Champaign, Illinois. Mr..
McMilien is pioneer citizen of the city,
and his form is as familiar on the streets
as that of any citizen of the town. All
his life Mr.. McMillen has followed the
trade of shoemaker, and every day finds
him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright
street in the vicinity of the University
of Illinois, and he is the official shoe
that institution.
About a year ago Mr. McMillen was
absent from his bench for several weeks,
and his familiar form was missed along
the streets. The local newspapers an
nounced that he was dangerously i'll. For
months he was a sufferer, but finally he
appeared again at his shop, and has lost
but few days since then and none, per-
haps, on account of sickness. His friends
were surprised TO see him out again, and
they were more surprised when he told
them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local
interest in his case and a reporter visited
him, to have him relate the story.

Then there are the poor baby dolls,
so beautifully dressed in snowy white,
thatunder no condition must they be
allowed to get out of their carriages.
An afternoon out-of-doors means for
them stately progress up and down,
either sitting or asleep, from the very
WEAKNESS of inaction. All who pass
may see, any fine afternoon, these dear
little baby-dolls in spotless order,
under dainty lace parasols, in 1.-The
handsomest baby carriage his grand
father could get in New York" be-
meath beautifully embroidered af-
ghans. The sufferings of these little
ones, with their heaven-sent longing
for almost constant activity, from
their hours of forced inactivity, from
the discomfort of tight little bonnets
tied on with such stiff, scratchy bows
as you and l would not tolerate, from
huge sleeves and enormous collars,
will never, perhaps, be known, as the
babies cannot tell of them, except by
exhibitions of temper, nervousness,
and fretfulness.
Again, excitement is offered in
place of the simpler and more natural
child life which is the baby's right.
AS he is wheeled up and down busy
streets,g gay avenues, or among crowds
of children and baby-carriages in the
parks, the dazzling panorama OF
city life keeps him quiet, and his
clothes clean. What it is doing to
the tender little soul and unfolding
mind develops later as an effect
which is traced to any cause but the
fact that he was played with as doll
instead of being treated as live
baby.
This same baby doll, while he is
learning to walk, must wear pictur-
esquely long white dresses, because,
forsooth, "they are SO cunning, and
all babies wear them AS if it were
not enough to learn to conquer the
laws of balance and equilibrium with
limited experience of but one year
of life, without having to trip over a
long skirt time and again! In short
dress baby learning to walk will
get falls in plenty, and the long dress
multiplies them by at least ten. The
big girl who dresses her baby-doll
this way ought to be condemned to
learn to ride her bicycle in an eques-
trian irt.-OutlOok.

IN EASTERN LANDS, WHERE
SPICES GROW.
BY MARY c. BILLINGS.

The following lines were written for
little girl to recite on Presbyterian
omission Sunday in Hico, Texas.
In Eastern lands, where spices grow,
And softly sweeps the balmful air;
Where heather children never know,
Or hear. the sound of praise or prayer;
Where heather Mothers sometimes cast
Their infants meath the Canges' wave
Hoping such sacrifice, at last
From Demons wrath, each child will
save.
While we, our blessings multiplied,
With ssHome," and "Church," with
ssschool,' ,, and play;
Have all our needs and wants supplied
For every hour and every day
With parents, brothers, sisters, friends,
And the pure Gospel of our Lord,
To teach us how his love extends
And make our lives with his accord.
oh. let us pity those, who live
In Eastern lands, where spices grow,
And to these hapless children give
The sweetest Gospel that we know
Tell them of CHRIST, our loving Friend;
Who, while on earth, the children oiest
His loving message, let us send
To those whose lives are so oppressed.
Tell them of all his kindly deeds,
His tender words of hope and cheer;
His pitying help for human needs,
His life of loving service here
And thus to show each heather chllo
That Christ loves them as well as we;
And in his spirit, pure and mild
Would have them live from evil tree;
And happy be in doing good;
In knowing how to live Alright;
To learn his Gospel as they should;
Rejoicing in his blessed light
So let us help our Masters cause
By helping those who freely go
To teach Gods love, and righteous laws
In Eastern lands where spices blow.

Mrs. Griswold's story is well adapted for

The scene of he story is laid in Wisconsin
early in he.'4O's, and it traces the history of
young girl, from childhood to womanhood. un-
folding the steps of her intellectual develop
ment, and her growth into a noble character.
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young, and will be es-
pecially interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In" Waiting on Destiny the author provides
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure and elevaung,
and no young girl can peruse its genuinely in
teresting and picturesque pages without receiv-
ing decided moral nplft as well as salutary
mental stimulus. Margaret's promising girl
hood lowered into just the noble womanhood
one would naturally have expected. lions
