ordinary collision will open but one or
two compartments. Ii cannot go fur

been opened. II most of these are pen
etrated on one side of the ship the wa
ter will make her list to that side and
probably sink her,
One of the most notable examples of
an indestructible ship made in recent
years is the Howard Cassard. Lack of
capital and continued litigation have
prevented her designer from pushing
the enterprise beyond the experiment
al stage. At the time of her launch
ing in the early '9os, the Howard Cas-
sard was hailed as unsuitable.
The Howard Cassard is an applica-
ton of the sleeping car idea of a steam
ship. Instead of staterooms there is
double line of curtained berths, look
ing much like the interior of a sleeping
car. She is built to reduce the time Of
crossing the Atlantic by one-third.
The basis of the structure is a keel
that weighs $4,000 pounds. made of
plates laminated and as homogeneous
as though solid. The keel runs from
nothing at the bow to a depth - 2s
inches outside the hull AT the stern. and
comes up through tn" hull to form a
backbone.
The frames, which are also bulk
heads, run through the ship from skin

ply the openings between necessary

instantly closed. thus forming series
of air-tight compartments, nearly 100
in number, any OF which might be sew

Red Hair Lasts Lonscst.

Statistics which have recently been
compiled show that persons with red
hair are far less likely to become bald
than those who have another color,
The average number OF red hairs on the
human sk,ill is 29,200. Hair of dark
color is generally much finer than red
hair. and three dark hairs cover as
much space rs single red hair. AS n
rule, dark-haired person has about
l05,o0 hairs on the skull. Fair-haired
persons. on the other hand-men as
well as nomenclature from 100000 to
100000. The strongest hairs, how
ever, are those OF red color. and hence
they endure the longest, l., may he
added that red-haircd persons are gen
orally of sympathetic and passionate
nature. and are, MS rule, far more apt
to be optimists than pessimists.

The famine In Russia is increasing
daily in It. faghtful severity, and mil
lions of the peasantry have fallen into
unutterable misery. Disease is raging
in the malaria-strickcn lands through
which the Volga flows, and the scuryy
epidemic is spreading with fearful ra-
pidity. In the entire Volga territory
the number of eases amounts, accord
ing TO official reports. to 100000. which
probably means 100000. There are viii
lagos whose inhabitants, numbering
from 1000 to 1000, have completely

dience to these instructions, should the
delegates select plans and institu-
tiuns whose advancement would make
the world better and bestow on them
the sum mentioned. the ministries Of
religion, education and charities would
be wonderfully enlarged.
This amount, says the Youths Com

services for 80 years of 1000 mission
aries at an annual allowance of 81 &C;

dred hospitals could be endowed witt

Is it possible to build an unsuitable

To insure the safety of passengers
in collision by making the steamer
practically unsinkable, the directors
have, besides fitting the ship with wa
ter-tight bulkheads and double bot
toms, provided for double sides.
The space between the outer and the
inner skin will form a water-tight com
partment. In case of an ordinary col
lision only the outer hull will fill with
water, leaving the rest intact. This,
it is hoped, will make an almost ideal
safeguard against the consequences of
serious accidents.
The new vessel is an important ad-
vance in shipbuilding. She will be the
largest cargo carrier in the world-6O0

Her cargo capacity will be 10000 tons.
There will be accommodations for 300

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Their Area. Trade, and Climatc-In-
tcrcsling (Omnnrisnns.

WASHINGTON. April % Especially j.
The following interesting comparison as
to the area of the Philippines with that
Of some OF the States of the Union, as
well as some important facts relating 10
the trade and climatic conditions OF the
islands, have been compiled by the War
Department.
Luzon. the largest and most valuable
island OF the Philippine group, has an area
Of oO,cOO square miles nearly the same as
that OF The great States OF New York
North Carolina, Arkansas. and Louisiana.
SIZE OF GROUP.
II would be necessary 70 combine the
areas Of Wisconsin and Illinois, OF
Georgia and Florida, or OF New York. Yer
mont, and Pennsylvania. to make an area
approximately equal TO the total number
OF square miles of the entire archipelago,
which IS 10000. while the State of Ari-
iona alone can be considered 10 be as
large as that, there being but a difference
OF lVSo square miles in such case.
PHILIPPINE TRADE.
As regards the foreign trade of the Phil
ippines, under normal conditions. So. 900. 100
Is faiI estimate. In 1895 the imports
yielded GC,5OV,0OO. For 1897 there was a
decrease in imports OF 81. $1,000. which
may be attributed tc the rebellion OF
the natives: The exports ia 1881 amounted
TO S3,,0O0OC0.
CLIMATE.
The extreme length OF the Philippine
group being from north 70 south, it's north
ern extremity reaching 10 the northern
limit of the tropical zone the fact causes
considerable variety OF climate. How
ever, the general CHARACTERISTICS ara trOp-
