NEW 8ATTLESH
The Wisconsin Successfully Launched at
San francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 26-The battle
ship Wisconsin was successfully
launched at the Union iron works this
morning at 9.22 o'clock. This fighting
machine is the largest vessel ever built
for the United States by the Union iron
works The launching was effected
without a hitch, and thousands of peo-
pie witnessed the imposing event The
Wisconsin delegation of "Christeners,
who journeyed all the way from the
Badger state TO witness the event, were
given the places of honor upon the plat
form, with the representatives of the
state, the city and the great iron works
responsible for the safe delivery of
the craft TO the government.
For over an hour before the plunge, a
large force Of workmen tore away
chock after chock which supported the
vessel, and they finished their task al
most to the minute of the prescribed
time for the launching, leaving only
one chock to restrain the monster, and
this was the support that little Miss
Lucille Gage, daughter of the govern
or-elect of the state, had been assigned
10 remove by means of a guillotine and
the inevitable electric buttons.
At a given signal, the little miss
pressed tle button, ana Iue crash Oh
breaking timbers announced to the
thousands of anxious spectators that
the vessel was about to leave the ways.
Slowly the great steel hull moved to-
ward the hay. and all eyes turned to
watch Miss Elizabeth Stephenson break
the bottle of champagne upon the bow
of the vessel. Just as the mass of
iron and steel touched the water, the
fair christener raised the ribbon be-
deckad bottle and let it split on the
nose ct the vessel, The roar of applause
which greeted the final act was almost
dGafening.
FIior to the launching a gigantic flag
of the Union, measuring II feet in
length and IA feet wide, was presented
in honor Of the Wisconsin. The flag
was the result of the combined effort
of 800 children of the Irving NJ. Scott
public school, who at the suggestion
of their teachers, commenced work on
the flag on Oct Is of this year.

AUTUMNAL DREAMS.

When the maple turns to crimson
And the sassafras to gold;
When the gentian's in the meadow
And the aster's on the void;
When the moon is wrapped in vapor
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burrs are opened
And the acorns drop like hail,
And the drowsY air is startled
With the humping of the fail
With the drumming of the partridge
And the whistling of the quail;
Through the rustling woods I wander,
Through the jewels of the year,
From the yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her that still is dear;
She is near me in the autumn,
She, the beautiful, is near.
-Bayard Taylor.

GoLDENRoD AND AsTER.


(From Town Topies)
When Autumn filled her basket up
With goldenrod and aster,
She heard old Winter on her track,
nd~~-ning fast and faster,
She tripped upon a slender vine,
Its scarlet love-knot tying
About an oak trees messy root,
And sent her treasures flying.
So now, on every sunny hill,
In every little valley
Or meadow, where the amber brooks
With music love to daily,
And all along the winding road,
With summer dust still hoary,
Her scattered garlands blossom yet
In gold and purple glory

THE SUGAR BEET FACTORY.

U In view of the widespread attention which is now certain to be given to the cultivation of the sugar beet, it is well to sound note Of warning with ref erence to one or two elementary facts, the neglect of which may bring much loss and disappointment to the well meaning but misguided husbandman. Tn the first place it must be remem- bered that there are many localities which are quite unsuited to sugar beet culture, and that these may occur with in districts which are within the sugar belt, and are, generally speaking, well adapted to beet crops It is therefore desirable that the farmer should make several tests in different parts of his farm before he commits himself to the hazard of a full crop. It will not be necessary to plant any con- siderable areas; small, detached patches will give him sufficient speci- mens to determine the value and quail ity of the crop When it has been proved that his land is suitable, the next step is to ascertain the cost of delivering the beets to the nearest fac tory, and whether it is such as to all low beet farming to be carried on at a profit.
 As there are only a few localities in the United States where beet sugar factories exist, it will be necessary to erect factories to receive and work up the crops, and it is in making the se- lection of sites that the greatest fore thought and care must be exercised. The factory must be centrally located with regard to the beet growing dis trict, and at the same time it must, if possible, be situated upon a railroad or have connection through it's own pri- vate side track If the enterprise is to compete successfully with others, 1t should have the various materials Of manufacture, such as limestone, fuel and water, within easy reach, and, of course, the nearer the factory is to the markets, the larger the net profits wtich will accrue to the farmer from his crop. It will be evident, from the recent description which We gave of the process of manufacture, that it re- qu.res a plentiful supply of water, fuel and limestone If any or all of these hare to be brought from considerable distance, it can be seen that the profits of the undertaking will be seriously reduced. The necessity of rail con- nection is further evident when we bear in mind the large amount of resi- due in the shape of filtered cossettes. Tkis is a valuable feed for cattle. and with reasonable transportation afford ed 1t could be disposed of at profitable prices in the outlying country.
 When it has been proved that the soil is suitable, that the materials of

THE MOTHER OF SHIPS.

The Ark is the first ship, then. to appeal to human sympathy. Let her be called the mother of ships. Though we need not too curiously consider her, it is a strange fact, nevertheless, that the dimensions of this ship (tak- ing the cubit about eighteen inches) corresponding very nearly with the sailing ship of today. Her burthen was fifteen thousand tons. The Great Eastern was seven thousand tons larger than the Ark. Noah, when he laid his keel, designed with strict ref erence to the animals and to the liv- ing sheets of water that were to de- scend from the heavens He would have need to build with great caution, nevertheless, for unless the animals were stalled a sudden panic amongst them would occasion a dangerous ''list.A Noah seems to have provided against this by building his extraordi- nary stables upon gigantic spoon shaped hull. He required neither sails nor helm When the Ark was once awash she lifted easily to the tremen- dous weight of rain. and fiOated off into the gray vapors of steam, which rose hissing midway to heaven from the fierce stroke of Gods pitiless storm. Sir Thomas Browne, genius of glo- riously quaint imaginations, who saw things, as Coleridge puts it, by the light of the halo of genius that shone about his head, wonders whether Noah might not have been the first man that compassed the globe. "Since," says he, Eff the flood covered the whole earth and no lands appeared to hinder the current, Noah must be carried with the wind and current according to the sun, and so in the space of the deluge might even make the tour of the globe. And since, if there were no continent of America, and all that tract sea, ship setting out from Africa without other help would at last fall upon some part of India or China"
 The circumnavigation of the globe in hundred and fifty days would be a smarter piece of drifting than we are likely to hear of in this age. But nothing is impossible and nothing inn probable at sea, Lord Nelson used to say.-C1ark Russell in July Pail Mall Magazine.
