Among ths bidders. for ths contract
1 building the new torpedo hoat de-
Itroyers for the United States navy 10
Riohard Peyton Of Williamspott.. His
bid attracts special sttention beoausa he
proposes to build boats which are to
have speed Of 20 knots "a hour. Thisis
i've knots faster than any other boat
now aaoat. There has been considerable
speculation concerning tho methods By
which Mr.. Peyton expects to attain such
marvellous feat In marine engineering
Members Of Mr.. Peyton's arm say he
will use electrical motors and . new
ystem Of propellers. operated from q
slwitohboard and ranged, along the side
ind stern Of the vessel &r gT% >
Al The only boat ut all approaching the
proposed speed is the Turbinia, an Eng
lish boat. She has speed Of 86 knots,
but was not designed for naval use.
When Mr.. Peyton's offer was made
public, engineers thought perhaps he
intended to model his boats after the
Turbinia, which itself marks new
triumph for marine engineers e.. ~, 49,.
~ The Turbinia, whose inventor. Mr..
Parsons, expects to be able to cross the
Atlantic in three days, is now the fast
est vessel of any description afloat
With ordinary draft she can run away
from the fastest torpedo boats. making
"a knots an hour. Under forced draft
the Turbinia can make 35 knots an
hour. Her coal will last for three hours
only, but in that time she can steam
more than 100 miles.
q The Turbiria is 100 feet long, with
q beam Of 9, feet, and carries q crew of
10. She has 2, 100 horsepower, can pro-
duce 10000 pounds Of steam an hour
and has q pressure Of 225 pounds q
square inch in her water tuba boilers.
Her three propeller shafts have each
three screws, several feet apart. These
screws revolve 1850 times minute
without causing perceptible vibration.
The engines can be raised to full speed
from standstill in 80 seconds.
: Mr.. Parsons calculates that a ID. 900
ton liner, furnished with steam turbine
motors, can cross the Atlantic in three
days. The coal consumption would be
1900 tons daily, but the extra coal
bunker room required will be offset by
the smaller space devoted to the ma.
chinery. Such q vessel could curry as
many passengers and as much cargo az
a vessel of the same tonnage propelled
by the ordinary machinery. Mr.. Par
sons speaks Of ~ minute trips from the
!. Battery to Staten Island in small tur-
bine motor boats as practicable. New

Trial by Jury.

q. Mr. Joseph II. Choate, the distin-
Euished lawyer, made the most impor-
tant speech Of the occasion at the recent
congress of the American Bar assooia-
tion at Saratoga. It covered range Of
topics touching the American methods
of court procedure and Incidentally
comparing them with those Of France.
whose criminal judioature is organized
to convict as much as gun is built to
shoot with. In reference to the lola
trial he said, EVERY safeguard Of per-
sonal liberty enjoyed in England and
America for two centuries had been
violated" We could not read the 40.
count Of the trial without contrasting
them with our own trial by jury or
without the pious utterance from every
hp. ''Thank God, I am an Amerioanl"
Mr.. Choate made an unnecessarily
elaborate argument, one would almost
think, for the jury trial system. as il
itself were ON trial. instead Of being
fixed in the bedrock Of Anglo Saxon in
stitutions: Perhaps it is true that thero
ts a tendency to supplant the jury meth.
cd in certain kinds Of litigation BY
other devices Of legal procedure more
simple and effective, to reserve it tor
great cases affecting life. liberty or prop
erty. This certainly is to dignity, not
to cheanen il With the diminution of
Jury trials comes the greater probabtli-
II Of securing intelligent jurymen. But
who can wonder at the partiality Of tho
great advocate, to whom the jury has
always been the instrument on which
the master player performs with such
matcl,less skill.

Dollazs.
= A messenger employed by one Of the
large banking houses in Wall street,
New York, lost q certified check for $685.
900 which he had been sent to deliver
the other day. The first intimation that
the bankers received Of this loss came .
few minutes after the messenger had
left from q seedy looking follow who
asked for one Of the members Of the
firm. The clerks tried to stave him Of,
but he insisted that his business was
private and important. To the banker
he said:
"Ycu have lost a certified check for
@85. .00o."
"How do you know thatF' asked the
banker calmly.
II saw a man pick It up"
Knowing that such check had been
cent out and suspectinR that the seedv
man 4aaTs;: round 1t the banker stepped
into an inside Office and notified by tel
ephone the bank on which 1t had been
drawn to stop payment on it II it should
be presented there. Then he returned
to the seedy man and said:
"How did you know it was our
check?''
~ was 20 near the man who picked
1t up that could read it," said the
seedy man, with visions Of big re-
ward.
