Popular Science Monthly: In the last
sixty years the speed of ocean steam
ers has been increased from eight and
one-half to twenty-five and one-half
knots a nhour. Ships have been more
than trebled in length, about doubled
in breadth, and increased ten-fold in

Popular Science Monthly: In the last

ers has been increased from eight and
onc-half to twenty-five and one-half
knots n nhour. Ships have been more
than trebled in length, about doubled

made forty times as great, while the
rate of coal consumption per horse
power per hour is now only about
onc-third what it was in 1910. The
weight of the machinery per horse
power has also been very greatly re-
duced. Were the engines of the
Campania PROFESSIONALLY as heavy as
those in use sixty years ago, they
would weigh about $4,000 tons. In
other words, machinery, boilers and
coal would exceed the total weight of
the ship as she floats today. There

ton than this of the close relation be-
tween improvements i'm maritime en-
~gineering and high speed.

The above illustration shows one Of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House Of the John Nj. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third OF a century this com
pany has been in business. beginning
in a small way, they supplied their neigh
bors in the nearby towns, each year
widening their field. They are now sell
ing merchandise direct to the consumer
Mt wholesale prices throughout the United
States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
loguc. AS the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size OF this
catalogue, until to-day il exceeds 1000
illustrated pages, quoting the lowest
wholesale prices on everything to Eat,
Wear and Use. BY q superior process Of
color photography they illustrate many
of their goods in natural colors, bringing
out the rich color value Of curtains, car
pets, draperies, and the latest designs in
wall paper, etc, thus enabling the GUS
toner hundreds OF miles distant to select
goods at his Preside, knowing by the
description, illustration and price the
class Of goods he may expect.
This feature of their business is be-
coming more and more popular each year,
for it not only saves long and tiresome
railroad journeys but is n great time
saver. 1t leaves out the profit Of the
jobbing house, the retailer, the expensive
commercial traveller, the general agent,
the sub-agcnt, and thus eliminates from
one to four profits, saving this amount
for the consumer. In short, it is q great
wholesale store brought to the home. The
mammoth catalogue referred to is a Goth
century dictionary OF economy.
The illustration below shows the recent
building added to this great enterprise.
The success OF this company seems in
credible, considering the fact that they
have advertised so little. Their spirit Of

per cent. noncumulative preferred stock
and an equal number of shares of common,
all of par value of s1O0 each. There will

company until fortnight ago, when he re-
signed to go abroad. His trip to Europe,
however has been postponed. The capital
ization of the new company is based on the
expectation of 10 per cent. dividends, as in
dicated by the earnings of the twelve con-
stituent companies for the last year. The
new company will take over, among other
things, a new cigarette machine, controlled
by Mr.. Buchanan. who was formerly at
the head of the firm of Buchanan & Lyall.

PERU, Ind, May H.-Three thousand or
more persons assembled at the Indian GEM
etery near Peoria reserve to-day for the
ceremonies attending the unwilling of a
monument to the memory of Frances Slo-
cum, the noted Indian captive. The I'M
usual circumstances attending the life to be
thus commemorated elected the deepest in
terest wherever the announcement of the
event was heard, and nearly every one who
could make the trip up the Mississinewa
river TO the grave did so. Vehicles were
the only means of conveyance, and on ac-
count of the large crowd every public out
fit and hundreds of private ownership were
put in use. but were insufficient to accom-
modate all desiring to attend. The people
assembled by noon, and the exercises were
begun at that time by the Rev. DR.. Arthur
Gaylord Slocum, A. NJ, LII. D., president
of Kalamazoo College, who offered prayer
1t was a strange sight to see the great
gathering in the corner of a little Indian
cemetery in the midst of forest and field,
the only habitation in sight being the resi-
dence of Judson Bundy, whose wife is a
daughter of the honored captive. After the
prayer DR.. Charles f. Slocum. Phi. D., Of
Defiance. o.. gave the principal address of
the day, historical in character, and d.
rected in part to the hundreds of the men,
bers of the Slocum family who were gath
cred about him. The monument, which Is
neat and appropriate, built of bronze and
stone and costing about $1,000, was covered
with drapery. At the close of the address
of DR.. Slocum, Mabel and Victoria Bundy,
daughters of Frances Slocum's children,
drew the cords which allowed the covering
to drop, revealing for the first time TO the
public the memorial In all its details. The
act was greeted by murmurs OF subdued
applause.
Remarks pertinent to the occasion were
made by George Slocum Bennett. of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, nephew Of Frances Slo-
cum Chief Gabriel Godfrey. the last head
of the Miami Indians. who spoke in the
aboriginal and also I'm the English tongue;
Major Samuel McFadden, OF Logansport;

make Frances Slocums grave, and the

serves a great portion of the credit for the
success of the monument movement and

ATLANTA, Ga, May 17.-Nearly 200 COM
missioners, representing every presbytery
included in the Southern General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, were present
when the retiring moderator, Rev. j. F..
Cannon, of st. Louis, opened the thirty
eighth annual session of the General AS
sembly this morning. The session was be-
gun with devotional exercises, the feature
of which was the eloquent sermon preached
by DR.. Cannon.
Several important matters will come up
before the General Assembly for discussion,
such as Christian education, the veto
power Of the General Assembly, the COM
pilation of another hymn book, the duties
of the office of the elder of colored evan
gelization and others. From present indi-
cations there will be no effort made to re-
wise the creed of the church.
