wearies of the streets and public build
ings; their aspects constantly and
strongly vary, according to the course
of the sun. Lights and shades at 10 in
the forenoon are wholly different from
what they will be at In the afternoon.
The Florentine women have interest

one has only TO walk into the market
to see country girls who would have
mothers. One is struck In the galleries
with the nice Judgment with which the
pictures are hung. What more lofty in
sentiment than the tomb of Lorenzo
De Medici? Loftiness is an attribute
of Florence architecture, palatial or
domestic. The doors of private houses

feels them to be great facts in their
way.
Talking of harmonious things re-
minds me of the BoboIi gardens Is

stately and lovely seats. that at all ap-
proaches them? In situation and tran
quill, generous loveliness, l can only
think of one-the Duke of Northumber-
lands terraced gardens at his place in
Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the
Prince and Princess of Naples still
court seclusion. has the advantage over
the Surrey paradise of being under a
revealing sky. Every shade of green
cry, every floral hue is well brought
out. One sees the fauItless texture of
statues and fountains mellowed by
time. In so strong a light a weIl-or-
dered design is required, and one has
it, the marbles are the climax. They

Florence is not what il was in the
grand ducal days. Still, it retains the
air of capital with a long and illus

New Intentions and ODD Conce I.

q,
There have been many novelties in
vented for ocean navigation, but one
of the most extraordinary of these. and
the latest, is the so-calIed roller stea M
er which is being built by NJ. Bazin, n
French engineer. The steamer is In the
form of large raft. supported by hoI-
low iron wheels which revolve in the
water and support the deck some twen-
ty to twenty-three feet above the sur
face
NJ. Bazin claims not only enhanced
speed, but greater stability. He main
taIns that the surface friction will be
minimized by the boats rolling over
the water instead of cutting through it
The trial steamer for service on the
British Channel is now being built, and
the first test Is eagerly looked forward
to by the inventor and his friends. who
are confident that the vessel will mark
the beginning of new era in naval
construction
The boat which is now being built will
be I3I feet in length, and will have a
breadth of 80 feet. She is to consist of
a platform having on each side four
enormous wheels, and these will be re-
volved by the engines, which are to be
centrally located. The first trip is TO
be made from Sewhaven to Dieppe, a
distance of about sixty miles, and q
calm day will be selected. There is
usually a chOppy sea at this point. with
little, short waves, which the roller
steamer will. 1t is expected easily ride.
The inventor claims that an ocean
steamer built upon this plan would rock
but little, even in the stormiest weather,
and that the hollow wheels which sup
port her in the water will give her great
stability. He expects to be able to at
tain high rate of speed with the roller
steamer.
A water bicycle has been built upon
a somewhat similar model, but its
wheels were fitted with fins that caught
the water as they revolved. and thus
pushed the machine forward. NJ. Bazin
does not seem to have thought of this
expedient as the wheels of the boat he
is now engaged in building are smooth
iron with sharp edges. The axles of
these wheels are to be heavily con-
structed and the wheels will be her
metically sealed.
The boat is to be steered by a rudder
between the two sets of wheels.
There are some people who maintain
that this remarkable boat will be able
to steam out of the water onto dry land
whenever a shelving beach may be
found, and that If properly constructed
she may be made quite as available for
locomotion over country roads as on
sea or river
