BIGGER THAN THE OCEANIC.

A London correspondent of the Bir-
mingham Post writes as follows: 81
am able to state that before the Ocea-
mic was launched at Belfast Compel
ing company had given orders for the
construction of steamer which will
exceed even the enormous proportions
of the new White Star liner. All the
details of the design are being got out
and there is little doubt that in the
course of the next few months the con
tract will be let. The eXDerleuGau pi
OF the largest class are, in certain
trades, very profitable; but it is evident
that the demand for such monster YES
sells will have to be accompanied by
a proportionate increase in the gray
ing dock accommodation. At present,
am told, there are only two dry docks
in the country which will be able to ad-
NIT the Oceanic-namely, those at
and Tilbury.

would pick up and carry along the

BIRDS FOR ORNAMENT.

A we'll known milliner of New York
was asked about the use of birds for
ornaments:
What has been the actual effect on
the trade of the agitation for the dis
use of song birds and their feathers
for trimmings?'
''The agitation has had a great deal
Of influence on the trade. 1t has al
most entirely stopped the sale of song
birds and wild native birds generally
and their feathers. The trade on aig-
rets has largely dropped off. When
the law was first passed, an effort was
made to evade it by milliners on the
ground that their birds were not ma
tive OF this State, and so escaped the
prohibitions of the law This was
largely because dealers had big stocks
they wished to work off. But women
are not buying many birds now. They
buy some sea guIls and doves. and last
year they bought some parrots. What
birds are used come mostly from South

many are being used. The wings you
see are mostly from pigeons and barn
yard fowls. This change in sentiment
has really developed a new industry.
the dyeing of the wings of ordinary
birds so as to produce some artistic
effects. You have little idea what can
be done with the feathers of an ordin
airy rooster. The general tendency in
feathers and wings is now to discard
the brighter colors, like red, green and
blue, and to use white or dark shades.
A new process has been discovered by
a F'renchman by which the color can
be taken out of any wing. 1t can be
dyed then any color that is wanted,
except that it cannot be made pure
white

are only 3-16 of an inch thick, and

The work having been done cold adds
greatly to the cost. The torpedo boat
of twenty-five years ago, with its spar
torpedo, was a diminutive affair, and
had a speed of only twelve or thirteen
knots. In 1877, however, plans for
these boats called for a length of 60 to
100 feet and a speed of from eighteen
to twenty-one knots. AS the demand
increased the builders gave special
attention to the reduction of weight
and the increase of boiler and engine

The "Attempt to XIII OF ';r. Prouty.

Referring to a statement by the New

Prouty's name was considered by the
President for the position of Interstate

willingness to appoint Gen. Grout to the
position; and that Gen. Grout declined,
and suggested Prouty in his stead. c. f..

Il am informed by a gentleman who IS
in a position to know the facts that the
President never signifcd his wilinguo IS

name than Mr.. Prouty's was presented 10

1t is true that powerful political friend
of Gen. Grout suggested that he try to
