NEW WRINKLES IN SHIPS.
A Big Royal Yard-Steel Yards and
Masts-Vessels Without Royals.

A Big Royal Yard-steel Yards and
A man not familiar with ships, who
saw the royal yard lying on South
street wharf the other day, might have
mistaken it for a mainyard, it looked
so big. 1t was a new spar for an
American wooden ship of 1,S00 tons,
lying alongside the wharf, and was
forty-seven feet long. The mainyard
of the ship measured about eighty-nine
feet in length. The royal yard was Of
spruce, the main of Oregon pine. On
a ship built nowadays the lower yard
would be of steel.
Ships masts were formerly made
with the several parts each a solid
stick. When big timber became SCARCE
and more costly, the lower masts were
built up of number of pieces of wood
and banded with iron hoops. When
ships began to be built of iron, the low
er masts were made of iron, and also
the lower yards; and when the build
ing of steel ships was begun, the lower
masts and the lower yards were made
Of steel. There are ships now that
carry steel yards up to and including
the top-gallant sails.
There are built nowadays ships that
carry no royals. The other yards are
made longer, so that the ship spreads
the same amount of canvas, which is,
however, carried lower. With less
weight aloft there is less leverage on
the masts, and the ship stands up bet
ter. Fewer yards are required and
less rigging. The low rig is in line
with the common modern endeavor to-
ward greater economy OF operation

pressed the hope and the belief that be-
fore many years the great cataract of
Niagara will be turned aside from its
course and every particle of it's males
tic force utilized in furnishing electric
power to the mills and railroads of the
surrounding region. The Harvesting
OF the giant to the service of man has
already begun, and there will be two
opinions as to the wisdom of carrying
the process of subjugation so far. Ma
1erial advantage is not the only thing
to be considered; grand and beautiful
scenery has value that cannot
be expressed in dollars and cents. No
amount Of increased Industrial wealth
could make good the loss of Niagara
Falls. 1t is the work of a Divine
hand. The brutal greed of capital
should not be permitted to obliterate
it altogether.

The injury done to the United States
battle ship Indiana when she was
locked in Halifax was the usual Eng

turn for a notable act of international

owned by British subjects and subsi-
died by the British government, and if
any objection to permitting one of our

made by the government of Great Bri-

If love were the offspring of merit,
then patriotism would find no difficulty
in showing why country is worth low
ing. But the Turk loves land that
has no freedom; the Spaniard, like the
Irishman, loves a country that has no
prosperity; the Chinaman loves land
that has no inspiration; the Eskimo
loves a land that has for others no
natural beauty. Men of each of these
nationalities love their home land ap-
parently for no other reason than be-
cause it is their own. So long as being
born in country makes its patriots,
there will be no better reason to give.
II patriots would make their country
if the people would all help to make
their country better worth loving-the
word patriotism would not sometimes
mean so little. 1t is poorly worth the
name if it implies no more than the
habit of association that attaches the
savage to his hunting ground or brings
back the exiled cat to its wonted gar
ret. True patriotism is something more
than blind instinct Nor is patriotism
a mere sentiment 1t is principle of
duty; and it becomes more beneficient
as it grows more enlightened. That
will be when patriots cease to cry, "Our
country, right or wrong!" and insist
that its public life and its politics shall
have nothing in them OF which they
need feel ashamed.
