ShfpbuiIiing IA n Trade.

As contracts are made ut the present
day the shipbuilder is bound to turn
out ship complete in every detail--in
fact, ship generally goes straight out
of the builders hands on its first voy-
age. This involves an enormous and
varied amount of detail work. First
there is the designing, which involves
the incest knowledge of mathematics.
Then the steel parts of the ship are
built. Many shipbuilding firms even
manufacture their own steel, and the
cutting and bending and riveting Of the
vast iron plates require very accurate
knowledge of the higher developments
Of the blacksmith's art. Then follows
the launching, task in itself requiring
the utmost precision. The ship then
passes TO the engineers and the boiler
makers. In each case the knowledge of
this part of shipbuilding is trade in
itself. The vessel now passes into the
hands Of the joiners and carpenters,
and ships joinery is far cleverer and
more skillful than anything required on
shore. AT last, after % final cleaning
and painting, the vessel is ready to put
to sea. These are some Of the more OBJ
vious of the trades with which com
petent shipbuilder must be familiar.
incidentally he must have a great
knowledge Of finance, for it is no easy
task to regulate the pecuniary affairs o;
large shipyard, with 1000 or 5000
workmen and wages bill of about
81 100000 year. His dealings with
foreign nations render it advisable Ia
have some knowledge of the mercantile
law of nearly all lands, and the wide
range Of his purchases involves an &C.
quaintance with the prices and markets
Of every trade.

Egelestou "a "A Historian.

What position must we assign Dr. Egg
gleston among our historians and what
does his new volume stand for? For my
own part have no hesitation in answer
ing that DIR. Eggloston Is neither u plod-
ding cleaner nor IA merely pleasant narrator
of what we all know, but II true historian
who has handled his materials i'm such u
fresh and vigorous way as to fairly entitle
him to the credit of having made "a con
tribution of lasting value to our historical
literature. This Judgment will hardly DO
approved by any reader who Ia unable to
rid himself of what may be called tho an
nalistic conception of history. Such u
reader will demand new facts or else old
facts retailed in an orderly and exhaustive
manner. Yet Dr. Eggleston could scarcely
be expected to furnish any startling array
of new facts that would compel rcwrit-
ing of our colonial history and he certain
ly has not retailed tho old facts In the or
thodox way.
Minute details that fill page after page
Of the learned compilations of his prede-
cessors arc passed over IN silence or barely
referred to. Indeed, as an annalist Dr.
Eggleston would hardly have earned his
salt in II mediteval monastery. He will
not earn praise from the dry as dust an-
nalists and readers of annals of the present
day. But ho will earn the praise and graf
itude of all who are Interested i'm tho de-
velopment of the art of historical compost
ton, of all who wish to see fresh spirit
and fresh methods applied to the writing
of American history. Professor William

Primacy of Ancient Literature.

You do not know the world until you
know tho men who have possessed 1t and
tried its wares before ever you were given
your brief run upon it, And there Is no
sanity comparable with that Which Is
schooled in the thoughts that will keep.
1t is such schooling that we get from the
worlds literature The books have disap-
peared which were not genuine-whioh
spoke things which, If they were worth
saying at all, were not worth hearing moro
than once, as we'll rs the books which
spoke permanent things clumsily and
without the gift of Interpretation. The
kind air which blows from age to age has
disposed Of them like vagrant leaves.
There was sap in them for little, but now
they are gone, we do not know where All
literature that has lasted has this claim
upon us--that IL Is not dead. But we can
not be quite SO sure of any as we are of the
ancient literature that still lives, because
none has lived so long. 1t holds n sort Of
priinacy in the nristocracy of natural selec-
ton. Professor Woodrow In Forum.

THE GREAT GRAY WOLF.
1t Ia Not Very Large, but Is All Muscle

1t Is Not Very Large, but Is All Muscle.
and Fears Nothing but Fire.
The great gray wolf of the north is a
most powerful beast and pursues men with
hungry eagerness when snow prevents it
from finding its usual food. 1t is not n
large creature, but it is all muscle.
1.-THE gray wolf," says Forest and
Stream, lis not much taller than setter
dog. He Is longer and heavier, sort Of
combination of wire and rawhide, which
never tires and can cover ground with
great rapidity. A man not long ago start
ed two wolf hounds after six hungry
wolves OF this type. The dogs overlook the
wolves with unexpected ease and then the
wolves ate the dogs, evidently thankful
that a supply train had followed them.
"A year ago man who believes in poi
soning wolves dragged "a fresh beef hide 81
miles, throwing out bait of poisoned meat
Next day, on his return over the line. he
found 20 wolves and coyotes dead, while
others no doubt had wandered away sick
TO some hole or other and died.
"A very effective trap is made of gang
of fishhooks baited with meat. The hooks
are hung on wires and fastened to branches.
The animals come along, smell the bait
and, getting on their hind legs, succeed in
reaching it. The bending of the branch
prevents the hooks from being torn out. It
makes it decidedly interesting when "a
panther gets hold of hook instead of "a
wolf
1.-The gray wolf In pack of its own kind
seems to fear nothing but fire. 1t will at
tack IA man who is shooting at it and its
comrades. 1t will aid in pulling down a
wounded buffalo bull, and buck deer at
bay is attacked in spite of horns and hoofs.
But fire keeps it at IA distance. A lone man
may sleep If his fire burns brightly, even If
the wolves sit about just outside the line
Of light, their eyes showing in circle sur

DON'T WASTE COAL.
ahe World Is burning Up Its Fuel Sup

The whole system of locomotion Is
threatened with Imminent revolution.
The two horses, one of flesh and one OF
iron, one eating oats and the other coal,
find their vocations going away together.

locomotive force for the nations. The
steam locomotive, vaunted emblem and
token of tho greatest of centuries, finds It,
self at the close about To DO relegated tn
the great ash heap OF curiositios before
which civilization stands laughing. But
the thing is not yet certain We cannot
make haste 20 dig grave for the locomo-
tive. 1t may be- that the twentieth century
will still demand that heavy, clumsy, hut
very efficient brute whose Office IL has been
for two generations 10 carry man and his
products 20 the ends ca the earth. Tho
substitution of electricity for steam as IA
motive force on the great railways of tho
United States, which now seems So imml-
nent, will DO, If IL comes, tho most mar
yelous single change that has ever occur
red among the physics Of tho civilized life
of man.
Oddly enough, the event is held back by
one of the capriceS of progress Tho
strength of the locomotive is it's imperfect
ton. The application of steam To cngincry
is accompanied with an error which has
cost civilization moro dearly than any 9th
err flaw in her apparatus. The acceptance
of electricity as tho one grent motive force
Is strongly impeded by circumstances
which, according To all logical deduction,
ought long since to have been obviated.
This circumstance lies i'm the application
of heat, or rather in tho evolution of heat

TIE BLOODHOUND.
A Gentle. Faithful Animal and a Zine
Watchdog.

A Gentle. Faithful Animal and Zine
WATCHDOG.
Probably no species Of the dog fam
sly is 50 little understood as the blood
hound While many traits are held by
dogs in common, the bloodhound alone
can perform the duties of detective
police by his scent. Ii is doubtless true
that the finest specimens OF this remark
able dog are 10 be found in England, as
they are thought 10 excel all others in
swifmesS, spirit and endurance. a well
formed bloodhound is usually about two
feet high, with regular limbs, round
feet of a moderate size, a wide breast,
deep chest, broad back and bushy tail.
The head is rather small than other
wise, and the proper color reddish tan.
In the old wars between England and
Scotland-the days Of Wallace and Of
Bruce-these dogs were much used.
1t is said that Bruce was repeatedly
tracked by bloodhounds, and only es-
capped on one occasion by wading the
distance of a bow shot down a brook,
thus breaking the scent.
a sure way to stop a dog was 10 spill
blood on his track. Wallace, with lG
followers, was once hOtiy pursued by
the English with blCodh0unds. One Of
his men refusing TO 90 farther, Wallace
in anger struck of his head The dogs
came up and stopped where the bleed
ing body had fallen, and Wallace thus
escaped capture.

keen. As q recorded instance it is stated
that their unerriug instinct was once
tested by allowing man an hour
start, when, after chase of p hours,
the hound ran up TO a tree where the man
was, % miles distant from the place of
starting.
The Cuban bloodhound is very ferc-
cious, and it is this breed that the
southern planter probably used in pur-
suing his slaves. We are told that in
the year 1895, when an instruction
was fiercely raging III Jamaica, 100 of
these dogs were sent from Havana 10
quell it, and so terrific was their action
at the sound of gun that the maroons,
or fugitive slaves, against whom they
were TO act, capitulated at once.
While we shudder at these stories let
Us not forget that the natural DISPOSE
tion Of these dogs is very gentle; that
they are faithful and attached to their
masters, making excellent watchdogs
and never showing the ferocity of their
nature unless irritated To man, then,
we must attribute ali the sorrows which
these dogs have occasioned and learn
that the brute is only brute when his
lowest passions are brought out and ex-
ercised.
