TO CROSS THE OCEAN IN
 THREE OR FOUR DAYS

To be able to cross the ocean in three days, to leave New York on Monday. morn ing and ito arrive in Liverpool sometime Wednesday night, seems too great an achievement to be within the realm of pos- sibmty, and yet there is a Brooklyn in- ventor who insists that he has not only. solved the problem but that he will have a boat capable of accomplishing this marvel ous feat ready for trial trip within a few months.
 James Gresham is the man who claims that he has succeeded in perfectlng such an Invention, and his standing as an inventor ds such that there are few persons who would be willing to put themselves on rec ord as being of the opinion that he wiIl not be able to fulfill his promise. Already ne has perfected several inventions, from the profits of which he has been able to amass a fortune but these achievements, great as they have been will sink into .insignitieance when compared to the new boat that will soon be ready for the launching.
 Although MT. Gresham is a singularly modest man, lle has enough of the Ego in Oais composition to enable him ito realize the
The age-herald., 1900-02-25

extent of his capabilities, and he does not hesitate to say that the boat that he has just invented will be to the ocean steamer of the present what the steamer itself was to the sailing vessels that piled between the ocean ports so many years ago. In other words, it Is to be the twentieth century lboat, the craft that is to open tine way for all future improvements fin this mode of conveyance.
 Such is the assertion of the inventor, and If he has not over-estima'ted the merits of alis invention the new craft will fully merit all the laudatory things that can be said about it. If the boat meets tine expectations of its creator it will be able to make its eighty or one hundred md1es an hour with as much ease as the ocean grayhounds now cover their twenty knots. It will be able to cross the ocean in three days or to go around the world in twenty.
 All that MT. Gresham can now show Of glis boat Is a working model. But fifty foot craft is now being constructed along rhe same lines and as soon as he can show that the scheme is a practical one ship capable of entering for the ocean trade will be built. From that day, if it still proves
The age-herald., 1900-02-25

object of the craft. It will not go under water except so far as it sinks beneath the water in passing through the monstrous waves against which it will contend in its long voyages.
 The elevations at the bow and stern are not the observation towers of "a submarine boat but are the companion ways by which the boat can be entered. Owing to the fact that the craft is so strangely constructed they will also serve as promenade decks and will give room for the navigation of the boat. The lookout will be located on the forward tower and the pilot will stand at his wheel in the tower at the stern. . ss- THE INTERIOR.
 The interior of the boat is divided much like that of an ordinary warship, in which spaeeis necessarily limited. The space that is to be allotted to the crew and for express matter is forward of the engineers room, while the stateroon1s and living compart- ments for passengers will be located aft the machinery. Owing to the small amount of space within the boat freight could scarce- ly be carried, but there will be plenty Of room for passengers and ample facilities for the carrying of mail. In fact, it is believed that these boats will immediately take the

THE CASTELLANE VISIT
Here to See Why Their Income Is
 Diminishing sss < .s

From New York Dispatch. ~
 Count Boni Castellane has never troubled himself say friends of the Goulds, to learn how this money was invested. So long as the countess received goodly income they had mo fault to find Whatever the income of the oeneffciaries under the Gould will it is fact that the property is not now paying as well as it did when Jay Gould was the guiding spirit.
 The Gould estate derives its chief dncome to-day from two sources-the Manhattan Elevated and Western Union. The Manhat- tan property is paying per cent and the Western Union 5 per cent dividends. . 1 Many millions are also invested in Mis- souri Pacific which has not paid a div- idend since 1898; in St. Louis Southwestern, in Iron Mountain, and in Wabash common and preferred, none of which securities are now paying a penny on the Investments.
 These are facts which the French count does mot understand, and which his wife also, is apparently unable to comprehend. Being a Gould she grew up to believe that wherever a Gould was interested money was bound to flow.
 But while the count and countess were getting rid by lavish expenditure of everJ dollar the estate furnished them, the othe1 naembers of the family in this country havs been constantly adding to the inherited principa1 The following ta!ble shows thS

successful. transatlantic transportation will be reyolutionized.
 Mr. Gresham calls this marine novelty a "serpentine ship" The name is an appro- priaJte one. With its long, snaly body and its bow and stern elevated like the head and tail of sea-serpent it certainly bears a striking resemblance ito the fabled sea monster as our fancy has pictured 1t.
 In describing this unique craft MT. Gresham explains that the invention is noth- ing more or less than a new application of an old mechanical device. Archimedes. the Greek lnath ematician who lived some EDO years ago, invented the water screw and ir is this principle that MT. Gresham has worked out in a novel manner. A broad spiral fange has been built around the out side of the boat Within this outer shell is another round and hollow she'll Here the power that turns the propeller hange and Iuhe whole outside cylinder is generated.
 A special arrangement on the inside of the boat enables it to keep. its equit ittbrium so perfectly that the rolling and pitching which attends the sailing of an ordinary ship fs almost entirely avoided. The method by which ithis result has been accomplished requires a brief and somewhat dry me-

A VILLAGE COURTSFHIP
BY JULIET BRADLEY

It was just such parlor as we have all seen a hundred times-wfhfte curtains at the windows-a pair of tete-a-tetes facing each other orthodoxly from opposing cor ners-an open piano and a table whereon lay few pretty volumes, the gilt edges uppermost. The young men of the village knew no spot more desirable in which to spend an evening.
 Such at least had always been the opinion of Harry Reynolds-and sitting there through the enchanted evening, he could picture only one scene more agreeable. The good papa called out on business, Rosahe Ames flushing and confused. and not very far away another person drawing her on to all manner of delicious, unimagiua;ble oonfessions!
 But on the particular occasion when our story opens. this pleasing scene hardly ap- peared to be the point of realism. The two were indeed alone, but the young man stood with his hand on tlhe door, look of grief and ddspleasure on his face, while the little lady in the armchair was deep in an unmistakable pout.
 ''If I go, Rosahe," he said, remember that I shall not return" He made step toward her and continued, "Have you not a word for me, Rosalie?'
 ''I do not think of anything further that I wish ito say," she responded coldly
 Harry gazed at her a moment and then rushed from the room. "Cold-hearted, selfish girl," he exclaimed, as he walked homeward in a wretched state of mind.
 For a few seconds after his departure Rosalie retained her indifferent position, but all her senses were alive to catch his hghtest movement. Of course he would re- turn; and when he behaved properly and asked her pardon and submissively he should have 1t, but to be 1ectured and scold- ed dn that manner was more than she would bear! In vain did she listen; an hour, then two then three hours passed by, and sick at heart, Rosalie went up to her own room and cried herself to sleep.
 Rosale was warm-hearted and quick aempered but was easily appeased; she was also passionately fond of admiration, and quite as much bent on havins her own way as was good for her. These faults, however, did not prevent the village beaux from being at her disposal, and hrtnerto she had been nearly impartial Tn ner lreat- uaent to them, having no mind to give Up the general homage by fixing upon one.
 But lately there had been a difference In her feelings She had acknowledged that dg1ere was a charm in Harry Reynolds attentions, such as she had never found in any other; a thrill, new and delicious, went through her when their eyes met and she read the admiration which he vainly tried to repress Harry had a high ideal of womanly excellence which RosaAe by no means came up to, but In spite of her frivolIties and hIs own nldsgiyings, they were frequently together and fast verging toward an explanation, when that destiny which appears to delight the destiny oi

The entire property has earned, perhaps, 8 per cent, or $500 900 0 year for each heir, since the death of Jay Gould. While others were carefully reinvesting the income from the fortunes they inherited Anna has run through her income like whirlwind. Not only has the $500, 900 a year been insufficient to meet the expenses of herself and the count, but $2 100000 of her original bequest has been expended in the extravaganza Of Parisian life.
 Since the death of Jay Gould his children have spent nearly s16,O00,O00. Gould, the father was one of Ithe most modest million aires in his way of living His home was as unpretentious as that of any humble mer- chant.
 Certainly the tastes of the family differ. Only a few days ago Frank Gould paid S5,OoO for St. Bernard dog. Jay Gould would have lived half a year on that sum. It cost Anna $1, ,000 900 down to become coun- tess and millions since to maintain the title. No wonder some one recently asked:
 "Are the bones of Jay Gould ratthng In his grave?"

lovers introduced an element of discord into their happiness.
 MT. Clarence Dalton came up from the city on a visit to his uncle He was hand some, wealthy agreeable and noted for the careful elegance of his attire. The girls were enchanted wbbh him, and Rosale alone regarded him with seeming indifference She said to herself with virtuous resolution, she must be careful now Harry might be wounded If she received attentions from such Mon.
 Happy for her had this prudent disposition lasted. But the old spirt came up after a while. She was entirely accustomed to queenfng it In her little world, and her vanity was piqued that MT. Dalton did not at an seem struck by her charms. It was quite a Christian duty to give MT. Dalton a lesson in good taste. So, by few little feminine lures, such as a pretty girl well knows how to practice. he was attracted to her side, and once there. he seemed exceed dngly well pleased to stay.
 At last Harry could endure 1t no longer, and dn the interview whose close we have portrayed. determined to "put his fortune ito the touch, to win or lose dt all" Con-

 In the inner part of the boat is located the machinery that turns a long shaft extend- ing from the bow to the stern of the boat. At each of ,these extremities and in the md- de this shaft is connected by gearing wheels to the other. So nicely ds the inner shell fitted in position, so carefully is 1t hung ball bearings, so perfectly is 1t bal anced and weighted that there Is no friction or jar no matter how great the speed.
 To make the proposition more clearly un- derstood it may be said that this is the same principle on which "a fish swims. It Is not the movement of the fins that enables a fish to dart with such lightning-like ra- pidity through the water. If a fish used It's fins alone it might cilurn the water into foam all around tt and yet be able to move only at snails pace. The secret of the speed of the fish Hes in the motion of its body. By simply curving its body dn a ser pentine motion it becomes what might be termed am animated lever that pushes it forward with the greatest rapidity.

 MT. Gresham has already completed all arrangements for the anterior operation or his unique craft. The ship will be lighted and heated by electricity, and electric bells and signals will connect every part of the boat. This however, is commonplace as cotnpared to the motive power, which IS to be as great a surprise to the world as the "serpentne ship itself. The machinery Of the ship as well as the electrical machinery wil be run by means of a motor of an entlre- 1y new character, the fuel for which will be chemical preparation, the composition of which is secret that the inventor refuses to disclose. He says, however. that so much power can be obtained from such a small amount of this fuel that he can easily
 store enough of it to enable him to run his vessel for long distance. In fact, he says, it takes up less space than either petroleum or gasoline.
