forced-draught speed exceeded the con-
tract by 1927 knots on the stipulated
horsepower. Equally successful was
the trial to determine her maneuvering
qualities, for with the rudder hard over
and both screws going at full speed
the ship made circle with a diameter
less than one and One-half times the
ships length, and reversed her direc
ton in about one minute. With the
helm at an angle of 10 degrees the ship
made a circle under full speed for
diameter three times her own length,
and reversed her direction in 1 min
ute and 26 seconds. The Yashima is
sister ship to the F'uzi, recently COM
pleted at the Thames Iron Works and

sits of four 12-inch and ten 6-inch

Admiral Mackaroff of the Russian
Navy has submitted a plan for reach
ing the North Pole by means of ice
breaking vessels. He is of the opinion
that an ice-breaking ship of $4,000
horsepower could reach the pole with
out difficulty.
The French armored cruiser Den
trecasteux. contracted for in Novem-
Der, 1898, is nearly ready for her steam
trials at Toulon. She is planned after
the American armored cruiser New
York and is of S,114 tons displacement
With 13 500 horsepower speed or 19
knots is expected. The battery of the
D'EntrecasteuX is composed OF two
9 4-inch rifles in barbetteS and II 512-
inch quick-firing guns in classmates.
The battery of the New York consists
of 16 S-inch rifles in barbettes and u
4-inch quick-firers. The gun protection
of the two ships is of the same thick
ness. AS a long-distance cruising ship
the French vessel has the advantage
over the New York in being wood
sheathed and coppered.
The French second-class cruiser Fri
ant of 3,739 tons recently went through
a series of practical tests while attach
ed to the Northern squadron. During
six days continuous steaming at sea
the ship kept up speed of 16 knots,
and at the end of this severe trial
steamed homeward and averaged IL
knots during Is hours. She arrived in
port in good condition with her boil
ers in perfect order, of which she had
used Is out of the complement of 20.
The Friant was built at BreSt in 1893,
and made 1919 knots on her trial trip.
Her recent performance is an unus-
ually creditable one and in marked
contrast with the many failures in the
French Navy.
Russia is building II armored YES
sells in it's dockyards and by contract
and two more are shortly to be begun.
Eight of these have been launched,
varying from four years up to the pres

of $3.50 tons; Admiral Aproxin and
another of the same type, coast-defense
ships, Of Alps tons, and Khrabry, an
armored gun-boat of 1892 tons. Two
battle-ships of 2,480 tons will be laid
down at Nicolaieff during the present
year. The Tri Sviatetilia had her II
hours full-speed trials last month and
made 1S knots, or knots more than

Scheme Proposed in New York for
Building Mausoleum.

Scheme Proposed in New York for
Building Mausoleum.
A recent dispatch says that the
Board of Health of New York has ap-
proved the plans of a new mausoleum
company, and the latter will establish
a sanitary mausoleum near High
Bridge, with a capacity of from 10000
to 10000 bodies. The idea is to seal
up the dead in cement receptacles, after
exposing the bodies for several months
to a current of air made chemically
pure by passing it over sulphuric acid,
and afterward by fire. When the body
is thoroughly desiccated the receptacle
is to be made air-tight. The sanitary
authorities are reported to be we'll
pleased with the proposed scheme,
which avoids SO many of the objection
able features of earth burial. 1t is
proposed to erect a building 270 feet
long, rs feet deep and three stories
high. The receptacles will be formed of
concrete, four inches thick and joint
less, in size little larger than an Or
dinary coffin.

Cleaning Eyeglasses.

"Spectacles and eyeglasses are as
much benefited by bath now and then
as people are" remarked a well known
optician. "It is strange how many peo-
pie there are who think that their glasses
only need an occasional wiping. Now,
the fact is glasses require actual baths
as frequently as does the ordinary per-
son. The process is as simple as you
want to make it. My plan. however, is
to take the glasses to a washbowl and
give them q good soaking in warm wa
ter. Then apply soap freely and rub it
Off by the use of q soft tooth or nail
brush. After that give them q polish
with any Of the usual tooth powders
and then clean them with tissue paper,
which is much better for the purpose
than channels skin or anything else that
I know of.

HE HAS MOVED.

Gradually Acquiring Information Concern
ing Methods Of Collecting . BIZ.
''When we moved into the country"
said Mr.. Changoofair, 81 almost Won
dered at the absolute confidence of the
boss Of the moving party. 1t was long
haul, two or three vans, and the bill a
matter Of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything ont of the vans into the house
clean before the boss driver presented
the bill. wondered what they would
do if somebody should say then that he
would call at the Office and settle or
something of that sort. But, then, I
knew I was going to pay; that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff in
and collect the bill afterward Of me, and
I made up my mind that they were
keen men. who knew people when they
met them, whom they could trust and
whom not.
"Well, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us in, but
they didn't know us at the office any
more than if they had never heard Of
US. Arrived in the city, the men with
the vans-it was a different crew from
that that took us out-began Juggling in
the things just as the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and wondered
again what would happen if they got
the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustling
the things in just as if they felt perfectly
easy and secure about that.
AFTER awhile the stuff was pretty
much all in-practically all but the
piano-and I wondered why they hadn't
brought that in before, because had
seen it loaded, and knew it was one OF
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end of one of the vans. So went
out to see, and there was the piano,
right where / had seen it when it was
put aboard, at the extreme rear end Of
the van, while all the stuff in front ha6
been taken out, carried around the enc
| of the piano and ON into the house. II
front of it the van was empty.
| "Passing through the hall, met the
head driver, the boss of the party, ant
he, just casually meeting me in thai
| way in the hall, handed over the bill fol
the moving, and paid it on the spot
Then, everything else having beer
moved in, the whole gang tailed on II
the piano and walked it right into thu
house.
"Of course it may have only just hap
pened that the piano wasn't moved il
until had paid the bill, but this didn'
give me quite sch a flattering opinion
Of myself as the other way had, but i

Lord Beaconsfield was in theory q
female suffraRist. But his Irritation was
of a very platonic character, for, al
though he had often the power to give
practical effect to his pious opinion, he
took care never to do SO. Once the oppo-
sition leaders were very anxious to find
out what course he intended to pursue in
regard to a certain matter. They turned
loose upon him a we'll known political
beauty. She talked and talked, he gazed
and gazed. At length she asked him.

ExACTlNG DISCIPLINE.

Spartan Severity Ruled Philip Gilbert
Hamerton In His Childhood.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhocd, tht victim of a severe
and cruel discipline His father was a
man of ungovernatle temper and irregu-
lar life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles and whose only idea of
educating a boy was to make man of
him.
His method of teaching the lad to
ride was to accompany him on vicious
black horse, and when little Philip erred
in any of tine observances Of good riders
to punish him with his heavy hunting
whip. The whip had steel hammer at
the end of q long handle, and if at any
time the owner fancied that the child
was turning out his toes he would not
say anything, but with cruel dexterity
deal him blow on the foot, sharp
enough to make him writhe with pain.
Yet this Spartan severity had its val
liable side. The elder Hamerton under
stood the importance of concentration,
and if he saw the boy occupied with
several books would say:
"Take one of those books and read it
steadily. Don't potter and play with
half dozen.
What he hated most was lie CT the
shadow of lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes
punished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumbbells Is minutes ev-
cry morning. This exercise was taken
in the garden, but before beginning he
always looked at the clock in the sitting
room. One day the father met him and
asked:
Have you done your Is minutes?'
"Yes, papa"
''That is not true" said his aunt
from the next room. He has only prac.
ticed for ten minutes. Lock at the
| click"
The hand stood at 10 minutes past II.
and though the boy protested that he
| had begun at ten minutes before the
hour the additional lie" put his father
in a fury, and he was ordered to prac
tice continually for two hours. And

Tho Original Color OF Flowers.

Some scientific papers have endeavor-
ed to show that in the early ages all
flowers were yellow, and the various
colors we now have have simply follow
ed the introduction of insects-that
flowers have, in other words, been
made beautiful in order to render therl
attractive to insects, to encourage their
visits, SO that the cross fertilization Of
the flowers might be better effected. As
morphology teaches MS that the petal:
of flowers are nothing but modified
leaves, says a writer in Meehan's
Monthly. we might imagine that the
ea,lier attempts at inf1orescence would
DO green and not yellow.

and has lost no opportunity to
