HAY AS SECRETARY OF STATE


 The selection oi Mir. Johc Hay as secret11y Of state to succeed Secretary
 Day is excellent. MT. Hay is, by long
 odds, the best equipped man in the re- publican party for this position; he
 has not olly ha6 great experience. for
 an American, having served il France
 as secretary of legation anti in the state department; before as assistant
 secretary. but. ill addition, has a wide
 knowledge of puhlic affairs and wide acquaintance with public men on both sides e tlie water Moreover, he is a man pcesea aeG Of social graces, and one
 who can maintain -fttingly .he dignity Of the place. He is also, wc believe. a
 firm friend of England, and one who believes i:, the maintenance ard in the increase O. the present kindly rela-
 ti0ns between the United States and Great Brit,in, which are so full of promise for the future. MT. Mckinley is to be congratulated that If. Hay is willing to accept the position. We understood, " hen he was made ambas- sador to England. that he stipulated that he should not be recalled as MT ing but goo.l is to be said Of MT. Hay s appointment. We may be pardoned, in speaking of it, if We express regret at the los: Of Secretary Day. This gentleman has made large place for himself in diplomatic his.ory.-Har- uer's Weekly

countess concerning the German prep arations fer the war of 1870.
 Let me add ir conclusion that con-
 irary to what Is generally imagined .he countess is not what might be call el of blue-blooded family Ry birth. Her grandfather won his title of Baron de E;ussiere and his wealth as an army
 contractor Of the first Napoleon, and
 her father was master of the mint to King Louis Philippe. The same may

THE NEW TORPEDO
 BOAT DESTROYERS

The torpedo beat destroyers are ex- ceptionally fine boats, and in compass considerably Overreach anything now
 built CT building abroad. Trey may
 really be said to be the Spanish "de- Ist-oyers" betteree
 The departments design covers a craft 255 feet l3ng, of beautiful model,
 having a maximum beam Of only 23 feet, and drawing, upon trial dis
 placement of 240 tons, practically eight
 feet of water The usual turtle-back nas given way to flush forecast1e deck, promising fine seagoing qualities,
 aild affording at the same time super :or accommodations fer the crew of sixty persons. There are two coming towers, one on the forecastle deck and one way aft on the main deck and the vessel can be handled from either, al- though only the forward tower will have it's steering gear worked by steam. On tUp Of each of the towers there will be a 12-pounder rapid-fire sln, and very wide arch Of fire is as- isured each. OI. an extension of the
 bridge upon the forward tower there will be thud steering wheel, by which most of tie navigating will be done in reasonable weather. and on a stand reared above this steering sta lion there will be placed an effective Isearchlight
 The boats will be lighted throughoui by electricity, and the running lights
 and the night signal code will be work cd in the same way There are fine vantilating arrangements in the shape of numerous blowers; and an exten- | sive pumping plant, connecting with
 each of the numerous separate water i tight compartments, provides agains. all reasonable demands in case of eith-
 CT fire or leak. All wood work will be carefully freproofed, and the decks will be covered with lino1eune instead i of the usual planking. The crew vii.

throueh wide ares of train. For the irapid-fire guns seven tons of ammuni- tion will be carried, and the power ot that battery. where each gun is capa- ple of d rate Of twenty aimed shots a minute, can easily be estimated.
 The boats will have twln screws driven by two triple-expansion engines of the four-cylinder type, each in ; a separate compartment, and will de- velop 5000 indicated horse lcwer when making 327 revolutions minute Steam will be supplied by four water tube boilers, two forward and two aft of the engine sDaces,. and at work ing pressure of 300 pounds. A coal supply of at least 100 tons, slowed abreast the boilers and engines, will give an effective radius of action. The layman can hardly appreciate, the r,wer of these engines, the weight of which, together with the boilers and ;:uXiliaries, is practically half the dis placement of the vessels, but they de- relop a driving force for these boats fnur-fifths as great as that required to propel one Of our 11.500-ton battle ships at a rate Of 16 knots The care and proper management of such ma chinery and boilers require the high est kind of skill, and the navigation of such craft is very much akin to the control of locomotive loose upon an untracked surface, where but the slightest initiative movement would i involve dolirious sweep. To fall overheard from such a boat would cer-
 tainly mean a broken neck. and to make the most of her at top-rate speed demands the greatest precisic'l of judg- ment from eyeiy working member of i her ccmplement--from the navigator : at the wheel to the humble.t stoker in the fire room.
 The average cost limit for the de-
 stroyers is s2?5 5,o00, and substantial advantage is promised ths bidders
 guaranteeing ,1ie highest speeds. the
 best seagoing qualities, and the promptest deliveries, either upon the i departments design or upon plans of
 their own.-RcDert G. Skerrctt in Har- 1 1 CTS Weekly.

The Pony Express.

W. F. Bailey contributes to The Gen.
fury an article on "The Pony Express, -
between st. Joseph, Mo-. and San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Bailey says:
At first the schedule was fixed at 10
days, an average Of 8 miles an hour
from start to finish. This was cut down
to s days, requiring an average speed of
10 miles. The quickest trip made was
in carrying President Lincoln's ipau-
gural address, which was done in days
and II hours, an average speed Of 1917
miles per hour, the fastest time of any
one rider being 100 miles, from Smiths
Creek to Fort Churchill, by Pony Bob,
in 8 hours and 10 minutes, or 14.7
miles per hour. Considering the dis
lance and difficulties encountered, such
as hostile Indians, road agents, floods
and snowstorms, and accidents to horses
and riders, the schedule was main
tanned to an astonishing degree. The
service created tho greatest enthusiasm
not only among the employees, but also
in the ranks of stage employees, freight
ers and residents along the route. To
aid "pony" in difficulty was priv
ilege, and woe be to the man who would
so much as throw stone in the way.

a. QUEER CALC ULATlON.
The Power That Would BE Required
49, to Move the En-

The Power That Would be Required
to Move the Earth.
Statisticians sometimes have queer
ideas. Ons Of them has. amused henself
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal It would take to move the
earth foot, supposing that it was sub
#jected throughout its mass to force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This is gratuitous superstition, for in
spite of It's enormous mass the. earth
weighs nothing. .=5. s 4.
Starting with the fact that the earth's
mass is about 600 million million-
million tons, our statistician calculates
that we should require 10000, 900, 900
years for a 10000 horsepower en-
CINE to move our globe foot. The
boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity Of water that
would cover the whole face of the globe
with layer 800 feet deep. The vapori-
zation of this water would require 4, 900
million-million tons of coal. This coal
carried in cars holding ten tons each
and having total length Of 80 feet,
would require 400 million million cars,
which would reach 80,000,000 times
around the earth. This train, moving
at the rate of 40 miles an hour, would
take more than 100000 years to trav-
erse its own length. It would require
for storage shed that would cover
1000 times the area of Europe. Il
If we realize that this Enthusiastically
huge amount Of energy is nothing at all
compared with what the earth possesses
in virtue of it's rotation about it's axis
its revolution about the sun, and its
translation in space with the solar sys-
tenn, of which the earth is but an in
fnitesimal part and which itself is but
an infnitesimal part of the universe,
we may get someadea Of the Importance
| of man in the universe and estimate his
incommensurable pride at its just value.

RETROSPECT. !.

When you were here, I often sat
Love silent with you half the days
There was small need Of speech in that
Sweet converse of the blended way.
Now you are gone, and hour by hour
Imuse of things long to share;
There's not bud, leaf, flower,
But helps me miss you everywhere.
Ny lonely heart enspheres the past
With ether caught from heavens goldi
I dream of bliss too sweet to last,
And then I waken, starved and cold.
For by that solitary path
That outward leads from mortal ken
You walked, and here am and faith
And jostling crowds Of careless men.
I've touched the inmost core of pain
In creeping days, each day a year,
Yet might sit tongue tied again
If you were here, if you were here.
