GLIDING boilers and water. To Mr..
ThornycrOft credit is awarded for three
of the four great steps in speed-mak-
ms, which have made the past quar-
ter-century illustrious, and to Charles
Parsons, an electrical engineer, credit
for the fourth is due.
ThornycrOft provided a new form of
boat, a new system of construction, a
new form of propeller, and an effective
way of generating steam by methods
which had been often tried and aband-
Oned. Parsons brought out a new ma
rine engine, and confirmed the fact of a
serious limitation in the power of the
screw propeller, first brought to light
by Thornycroft in his trials Of the
Daring. The Turbrina was first built
with one screw propeller; then it was
found that it would be necessary to
put in three shafts and nine propel-
lers in order to meet the difficulties
and get the full effect out of the high
speed engines.
Mr. Parsons is now building engines
OF 10000 and 1900 horse power for
destroyers Of some 800 tons displace-
ment. He contends that in applying
turbine engines of say 10000 horse
power to a large passenger vessel, four
screw shafts with two screws on each
shaft would probably be necessary in
order to get over the propeller limIta-
tons in efficiency.
The Improvements in the materials
of which they were built have oeen
of prime Importance in tightening the
huh and machinery of ships, for in the
steel ship the weight of the materials
has come down from over fifty per
cent to thirty-siX per cent of the dis

The sermon was the last in the series
on Present day problems" DR., Lewis
said in part: Paul set forth in the New

relation of man to man.

iZatiOns Not until last year was a
mark set in the direction of organized
capital. According to newspapers, the
capitalists in the trusts formed last
year represent $1,000, 100000.
Such figures made US hold our
breath, but the newspapers are now
telling us that in January and Febru-
airy of this year a greater amount of
capital was absorbed in trusts. In the
81 DAVIS of March, the wealth in the
trusts formed in New Jersey repre-
scented 81 900, 000,000 1t is now consid-

is reported with capital of from one
to two millions of dollars. In this new
move some see signs of future pros

THE benefit of organization is that
efforts for good are made more Ell
fective. The church could do little with
out organization. The enemies of evil
are ORGANIZED. The enemies of good
must organize, so that the enemies of
evil will be met by organized enemies
OF good. Organization elevates the
wOrlzingman. He is taught independ-
ency of thought and the power OF
union. Greedy employers may compel
a man to do two mems work with one
mans pay. but word from the rep

Boston, June 4.-Secretary of War
Alger with Mrs. Alger, and his SON.
Russell A. Alger Jr., his sister, Mrs
Russell, left Boston tonight for Detroit
via Montreal. In the course of an in
terview he said that the matter of call
ing volunteers for service in the Phil
ippines had not been decided but prob
ably would be when President McKin-
ley returned from his visit to New Eng
land.
Gen. Alger was asked if Gen. Otis
had said that $4,000 troops were suffi-
cient to subjugate the natives, and he
replied that Gen. Otis had at no time
said that he needed more than 10000
troops. He said further: I'VE have
still $4,000 regulars including the ar
tillery that we can call on to reinforce
the army OF Gen. Otis"

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe said:
Il regret very much that DR.. Donald
Should have seemed to oppose the high
er education of women. I don't think he
would seriously undertake to do this.
Il think one consequence Of that
higher education is the disappearance
of the blue-stocking from general So
ciety. When studiOus women We're rare
they were generally voted eccentric
which they sometimes We're, and often
er We're not. High culture among WO-
men is no longer a rarity, and TO my
mind this change has very much raised
the tone of society"
Mrs. c. G. Ames saids: IF DR.. Do
maid seriously said, as is attributed to
him, that Bryn MaWr and Wellesley
are spelling women, one would like to
know for what they are spoiled. Ger
tainly not for mothers or daughters, as
my own acquaintance with college Wo-
men compels me to believe; certainly
not for civic services, as all America
can testify. And one cannot help be-
lieving in all reverence, that every ed
ucated Woman-college educated, too
more completely fulfils the end her Gre
atOr has in view. which, 1 believe DR..
Donald himself would say, is TO so use
this earthly life as 70 carry out of it
into the eternities a more fully devel-
Oped human nature
DR.. Laura Hughes, who was at the
head of the detention hospital at Mon
tauk said when she had read Dr. Don
AIDS statement: The man is talking
of what he knows nothing about anC
it seems foolish to take it up"
Miss Sarah Hughes says: "All edu
cation is but development, and many
people not only need a college course
hut a post graduate course and a triI
TO Europe before they are developed
1t seems to me that DR.. Dorald ha!
lost sight of. or is not aware of thu
real secret of education-which is tn,
dCN elOpment of the faculties that Goo
has given US.
The great desideratum of business
women TO-DAY is a college education.
"A woman gets enough training il
college to realize that she does no
know it all She has then the founda
ton Of character. which is humility.
1T is my opinion that if Dr.. Donald
would help few young women, star
wing with a thirst for knowledge, to g,
to college. he would do more good THAI

COLLEGE WOMEN ARE MAD.
The Doctor Says They Are

The Rev. DR.. f. Westchester Donald,
formerly rector of Ascension church in
New York and now rector of Trinity,
Phillips Brooks old church in Boston,
las created a stir among college Wo-
men by expressing an unfavorable
opinion of the work of womens col
leges. In addressing a meeting in the
the interest of the Abbott academy al
Andover. he said:
Il want to say one thing in favor of
this movement, and that is that per
sonally l do not like women's colleges.
The moment a woman becomes cru
dite, as she does after the average col
lege course. she becomes a blue stock
ing and apart from the rest Of society;
and, consequently, she does not accom-
plish the good which she might other
wise. These colleges are not good for
society. The school at AndOVer does
not do this. Ii is not like Bryn Mawr
and Wellesley in this respect-it trains
a woman and gives her a finish without
doing any harm; and that is why /
like it,"
