mansions. will rise on top OF the waves rather
than pass through them The rolling and
pitching may be more severe than at present,
but with improved cabins and a shortened voy-
age. the difference may not be noticed. The
construction OF steamer OF $4,000 tons will
probably not trouble the constructors OF the
future nearly as much as did the building Of
the Great Eastern those OF the past. There
will be infinitely less labor. both mental and
physical. than was required for the construc-
lion OF a great ship In those days.

Once 1t Gets Into the Criminal Court Build

When District Attorney Gardiner gets back
from his vacation tomorrow. he will have his
hands full. 1t is against the law to take whis-
key into the Criminal Court building. but the
other day the friends Of n certain person en-
poyed in the building gave him bottle OF very
fine old rye. Some heartless thieves stole the
bottle. The detectives in the building would
not arrest the thieves on the ground that as
nobody had a legal right to have whiskey in
the building. nobody could be accused Of theft
for stealing it. The detectives seized the whis-
key. however. and locked it up. But on their
own argument. they had no right to keep it.
After they had locked 1t up. more thieves broke
in and stole the bottle again. some friends OF
these thieves met them with their booty. and
