The Greatest Ever.

Every year or two "the largest shiI
ever built" is launched. The latest le
viathan is the Celtic, which slid off the
ways at Belfast on Thursday and
dropped three pairs of anchors to q
pandemonium Of jubilation. 1t was
certainly an inspiring occasion, and
the Germans will have to try again.
For a time they held the belt with the
Deutschland and the Kaiser Wilhelll
der Crosse, but the Oceanic took the
record away from them, and now
comes the Celtic to eclipse her sister
ship. The Dutchmen were respective
ly 662.7 and 626 feet in length, 81 and
66 feet in breadth, and 4O.4 and 80
feet in depth, and their gross tonnage
was 16,502 and 14,349. The dimen-
sions of the Celtic and Oceanic are as
follows: Length, 6SO.9and 6S5; breadth,
Is and 68.3; depth, AL and AS. The
gross tonnage Of the Celtic is 2O,SSO
and Of the Oceanic 1924. While the
Oceanic is little NOR, than four feet
longer and a trifle deeper the increased
breadth and the great advantage in
tonnage make the new ship the world
beater. She will carry a crew of 1886
men and 1850 passengers, total of
3194.-New York Sun.

STALKED BY VUL1URES,
While q Man Was Trailing n Buck, the
Birds Followed tho Man.

I met with a curious and not alto
| gether pleasant experience (writes an
AngloIndian correspondent, who has
| done good deal of large and small
game shooting in India) when l was
| one day stalking black buck. Be
tween me and my quarry lay large
fiat field of black cotton soil bordered
by very low, struggling and thinly
growing hedge Of small babul trees.
My only way to get shot was to cross
this, keeping the bushiest tree between
me and the buck. who had not much
to browse on, and was, therefore, sell
dom motionless. l proceeded to do the
hundred yards on the fiat of my stom-
ach. This on loose. hard-baked black
cotton soil was no joke. I pushed my
rifle on ahead. then, wriggling past it
until the muZzle was near my knee l
would pass it on in front again and
so on.
Progress was slow, and was so alb
sOrbed that failed to observe shad-
Ows crossing and recrossing my path
and circling round until I had gone
some fifty yards. Then the whirring
of wings attracted my ears, and al
most at the same moment a vulture
landed on the ground not twenty yards
away. looked up. The air was alive
with these repulsive-looking birds.
Then 1t flashed across ME that l was
being stalked! Doubtless these birds
were attracted by my extraordinary
method of procedure and mistook me
for a wounded or dying man making
a final effort to reach some shady spot.
This was especially possible, as the
experience occurred last April in a
famine district where deaths by the |
were not infrequent. BY |
looking up had evidently shown my
self to the buck, for he was now off at |
full tilt. I, therefore, took potshot at !
the vulture at twenty yards. but did |
not allow for the sighting sufficiently,
and missed him. The thought OF
being waited for' by flock of vul
lures while very much alive and well
was, to say the least, uncanny.-Pan

Glazier and Glacier.

"Our boss is just about the most
absent-minded man in the world" said
one of the clerks in large office in
Carondelet street, "and his wife is con-
tinually calling him down about it,
but it doesn't seem to do any good.
Strings tied around his fingers, cards
in his hat, and even plain memoranda
right before his eyes ON his desk gen.
orally get him tangled up all the
worse. When we had that last cold
snap a few weeks ago, his wife told
him in the morning to be certain to
send man to replace broken pane
in one of their bedroom windows. He
knew how mad she'd be If he forgot,
so he kept repeating the word 'glazier'
to himself all the way down on the
street car, and as soon as he got his
head in the door he shouted to the
office boy: Johnny! write "glazier" on
my desk blotter Immediately! With
that he felt safe, and it would hav~
been all right, 1 dare say. if the fool
kid hadn't written glacier instead Of
'glazier.'
'The old man thought no more of
the matter until late in the afternoon,
when he happened to notice the mem.
on the blotter and began to scratch his
head. Glacier! glacierv he muttered:
L wonder what the dickens intended
that to remind me Off He thought
a long time, then suddenly he bright
ened up. 'Ah! l have it nowv he ex-
claimed; 'glacier-a mass of ice! That
means they are dht of ice at the house
and want quantity. So he rushed
over to the phone and ordered 200
pounds Of ice to be sent up to his resi-.
dence by special wagon. That was
the coolest night of the year, too. I'd
like to know exactly what his wife
said when he got home."-New Or
