atruction and Use.
The STROLLER along the wharves who should
see rising from the smokestack of q big steamer
a small. and at the start perfectly defined. col
umn OF smoke, which seemed to come from q
small smokepipe within the big one. might
wonder il the great smokestack was filled with
smaller stacks. one for each boiler. AS a matter
OF fact it is not so filled: but there is within it
one smaller smoke pipe. called the donkey stack.
which is the chimney for the boiler OF the dom
key engine, which is used when the vessel Is in
port in hoisting cargo in and out. Ii Is from
this pipe that that the small column Of smoke
is seen to issue.
The donkey stack is placed sometimes against
the forward inner side of the big stack. some
times against the after inner side. 1t may be n
complete pipe. or 1t may be formed OF iron in the
shape of half a pipe, with fianges riyeted to tho
main pipe.
II a single one of the larger boilers were used,
as 1t might be when the ship Is in port. IL
might be connected with the donkey stack, but
in their regular and common arrangement and
use the uptakcs OF NIL these boilers run into the
great chimney, whose whole interior Is open,
except for tho braces running across 1t to
strengthen and support it.
The chimneys of all large steamships, how
ever, and OF many other steam vessels as well.
are built double. with an inner and an outer
shell, with u space between varying according
to the size of the vessel; it may be from five to
ten inches. The primary purpose OF this cham
Der around the smoke5tuck is to afford ventila-
ton for the engine room and the stoke hole. In
at least one modern passenger ship ventilating
pipes from the passenger quarters have been
carried to these chambers. incidentally the
space between the shells helps to keep the stack
cooler on the outside than 1t would otherwise
be, and SO it holds paint the better.

BARMA1D so DARK AsPAINrED.
American who Has Lived in England Takes
Zip the CudEsls In Her Behalf.

Tho British barmaid is much mlsunder-

spent a year in England, and. according to his
own story, Is. or ought to be, an authority on
the subject. Just as Englishmen, after q few
weeks stay in this country, write a book full OF
errors about Americas most cherished institu-
lions, SO American summer visitors to England
bring home impressions about what Is appa-
rently q bulwarK Of the British throne that arc
equally false. II not equally malicious. The
American visitor apparently concludes that
a woman must BIO no better than she
ought to be IL she is q barmaid.
His reasoning, presumably. is based on what no
has seen or heard of the pretty waiter girls
in tho concert saloons which fourished here q
score or moro years ago. No woman who works
in o drinking place frequented by men can DO

has thus not only n reason for choosing her
career which the shopgirl lacks, but also an ad-
ditional reason for remaining virtuous:

Lying up close against the end Of an over

gall about six inches in length, which presently
took a notion that it would like TO lie in there
snug against tho rock and tho ovcrhanging
projection. and 1t came up at the tail end Of the
eel and tried to wedge itself In between the eel
and the rock; that is, to crowd the eel away
and take its place.
But the bergnll couldn't do that; there is a
good deal OF strength in an eel, and this eel held
It's place firmly. The bergall hauled off a little

Tho Canada Atlantic Railroad In the Field
with a Water ana Land Route.

OTTAWA, Feb. ll.-Sir Wilfrid LaurIer and his
Ministers have promised to do everything posi-.
BILE TO secure the carriage OF tho grain not mere
ly of western Canada. but OF the Western States,
to the seaboard by Canadian routes. Thousands
of men are now deepening the st. Lawrence Ca
nal. 40 that the all-water route may be in n posi-
ton to cut out the Erie Canal. The season Of
navigation Is short. however, and there Is need
to supplement the all.waterr route by a short and
cheap rail and water me. 1t Is this work that
the Canada Atlantic Railroad people are doing.
The Canada Atlantic Company Is Oh the point
OF completing arrangements by. which all the
chief lake ports will be connected next summer
with the terminus of the company's road at
Parry Sound. and grain viii be carried by
freighters. In Chicago the company has leased
a strip of the river front and will build there
storage and forwarding warehouses. The Can
ada Atlantic will also compete with the Cana
dian Pacific for the carriage OF the Manitoba
crop and for the passenger business TO and from
the Wost that now goes by way Of Owen Sound
aud othor Georgian Bay points.
