Philippines. The Madrid Impartial SOL

should regard the affair with complete
indifference. The insurgents number

struggle the Americans will be driven

how different things look to different
people. There is a suspicion in this
country that the hand of the devil was
in the outbreak, and yet the impartial
plainly sees the hand of God in it. But
there's no use arguing the question. We

getting the Spanish prisoners released,
although we may not encourage it by
being driven out of the Philippines.

THE GROWING SPEEDS OF STEAM
CHJpG


| Speed Of ship is a vital factor in ma
rlne engineering, for the greatest i'm
provements in design and manufacture
have resulted from the demands for
| higher speeds.
Twenty-Five years ago the highest sea
speeds for merchant steamers were less
than sixteen knots, and for war vessels
were even less, except in such notable
cases as the cruiser Wampanoag Of the
United States navy. In the merchant
service the increase of speed has been
gradual since the advent Of the Arizona
with seventeen knots, every few years
at least bringing out one or more faster
"greyhounds, until we have the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, with a record Of
five hundred and sixty-four knots for a
days steaming, and an average for that
day of 1888 knots.
After the wonderful record of the
Wampanoag, in 1868, when she averaged
over seventeen knots for six hours, the
speeds Of war vessels fell off for time,
and did not again become noteworthy
until the performance of the Esmeralda,
built by the Armstrong; In 1888. That
vessel made over eighteen knots and in
speeds, giving us the triple-screw flyers
Columbia and Minneapolis of the United
States navy, each of which held the
record for time at 228 and 23.07 knots,
until another Armstrong vessel, the
Buenos Ayres Of the Argentine navy
captured 1t with speed of 1872 knots.
The record for torpedo-boats is still
more remarkable. Beginning more than
twenty years ago, with lengths of less
than one hundred feet and speeds OF
nineteen knots, torpedo-boats have
grown into such vessels as the Forban
Of thirty-one knots, and the phenome-
nal phenomenal because Of the small
size of vessel-only 44.5 tons) Turbnia
Of thirty-one knots; and with them have
come the destroyers, with speeds of
thirty-two knots, and, if we can believe
the reports, one of Schichau's boats,
which is said to have recently made
thirty-five knots.
The same increase of speed is clearly
evident for battle-ships and armored
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1899-02-07

cruisers, where we have now reached the
point of twenty three knots for the
Jeanne dare and the new PoweYfuls,
and twenty-one knots for the projected
Italian battle-ships.
II we can argue fairly from these re-
cords, 1t must be very evident that the
tendency is towards still higher speeds,
and such is undoubtedly the case.
1t would be futile to attempt predic-
ton as to the limit of speed. Thirty
years ago the speeds which are now
common would have been deemed in
credible, and, while it does not seem
possible that there could be such an in
crease in the future, no one can fix the
limit. The increase in speeds has been
made possible by the improved economy
of the machinery and the reduction of
weight per unit of power, the former be-
ing an important element in the latter
Casters.

! AN INVINCIBLE HORSE-TAMER
/ His name was John S. Rarey. Early
in the century his father--a Pennsylva-
mia Dutch farmer-cleared a tract OF
/ forest land on the outskirts of Ohio's
capital. On this virgin spot was built a
/ log cabin, in which the future horse
tanner was born. The cabin in time be-
came the beginning Of the village of
Groveport, known half century ago to
lovers of horses throughout the civilized
world.
While a babe in his mothers arms, it
was young Rarey's delight to watch the
animal life on the farm To pet the
horses and cows was ever to the boy a
keen pleasure. When he could make his
way alone to the farm-yard, it was OBJ
served that the friskiest colts We're do
cile under the caressing strokes of the
chid's hand. John was the youngest Of
seven children. At this period he was
the only child at home. The Rarey
farm was isolated. Many miles lay be-
tween neghbors. Having no youthful
playmates, his warm little heart made
friends of the chickens, the cows and the
colts. At the age of three years it was
his delight to ride astride the plough
horses.
One significant incident in the child
hood of the "invincible horse-tamer' was
frequently related by his mother. 1t &C.
Cured in his fourth year. The family
being at the dinner-table, one day, 1t
was discovered that the chair of the
youngest was vacant. A servant was
sent in quest of the truant. The fields,
the barns, the hay-mounds were
searched in vain A. terrific scramble
was heard, at length, in gravel road
way near by. To the horror Of the dis
tracted household, Johnny Rarey was
discovered upon the back Of the widest
colt on the farm.
Expecting to see the child fall to the
ground every moment, the father start
ed to his rescue; but to the relief Of the
household, cold and rider soon reined up
In safety at the barn door. When re-
proved for his conduct, the infant re-
piled that he and the colt were the best
Of friends. To convince his father Of his
mastery Of the colt, he mounted and
dismounted bridled and unbridled the
animal who, to the establishment of the
spectators, submitted to his young mas
ter's directions His control of the colt
was much talked Of in the neghborhood.
From that time the young horseman
was In great demand to carry messages
between the scattered farm-houses.
Before his ninth year his reputation for
horsemanship in that part Of the coun-
try was unrlvalled.-St. Nicholas.

Crepons are among the new spring
goods, and like other Weaves that re-
appear, have new character to dis
tinguish them from the sorts that have
already had favor. For entire gowns
they are almost too distinct for the
woman whose wardrobe is small, though
for her who does not have to wear every
one of her dresses often they are par
ticularly swagger. The general rule will
be to make them up simply, and the
gown shown herewith is a good type.

pears that the broom corn shortage is
more serious than was at first reported.
The figures presented at the conven-

that 10 900 to II 900 tons would cover the
entire supply of broom corn in all posi-

pared with previous years. The annual
consumption of broom corn is said to
be about $4,000 to 10000 tons, or 100
tons for each working day in the year.
The present supply will last about 200
days. Added to the shortage Of broom
corn was a shortage Of handles, due to
the fact that the lumber Of which the
handles are made has been worth more
