minutes. This record was lowered by
the Britannia two years later to days,
II hours and 81 minutes.
To cross in less than week was now
the aim of the shipowners and naviga'
tors, the first to start this record being
the America, which in 1877 sped be-
tween Sandy Hook and Queenstown
in 6 days, 10 hours and Al minutes.
Eight years later the Etruria reduced
this time by hours on an eastern trip,
and on the following western passage
brought it down to days, hours and
81 minutes. 4 sister ship, the Umbria,
went an hour better soon after. and in

AS to the steamship which the future
will evolve for crossing the Atlantic in
100 hours, shipbuilders and engineers
are in the main agreed that there must
be radical departure from the present
type-in fact, that the twentieth cen
fury ocean express will be in class
by herself, unique in every respect.
They also agree that the possible
limit has been nearly reached in length
and tonnage in the new Oceanic-17, 040

So long as the beam is not greatly
increased, length and speed are in a
measure correlated, and it has been
calculated that the 80 knot express
steamer must necessarily be over 900
feet long, about 80 feet beam and over
80 feet draft. Her displacement should
be about 10000 tons. as against the

that the authorities of the United
States should secure ell possible avail
able information relative to existing
conditions at that time in Cuba and
to secure such information was accom-
panied with great dangers and required
| unusual courgae and caution. In this
emergency Lieut.. Andrew S. Rowan, of
the Nineteenth Regiment, United States
Army. volunteered his services to the
President and entered upon the impor-
tant mission. Lieut.. Rowan was given
full instructions and, without hesita-
I.tion, entered upon the mission within
three hours after he received his in
structions. He was furnished an open
boat from Kingston and landed on the
Kingston shore; walked $50 miles into

War Department for duty. He was i'm
mediately promoted to the position OF
lieutenant colonel of volunteers, and
remained in the volunteer service until
the close of the war with Spain. He
then returned to his former regiment
(the Nineteenth United States Regu-

to the captaincy of Company l, which
regiment is in the Philippine Islands;
therefore,
Be 1t resolved by the Legislature of
West Virginia, That the thanks of
the people of his native State of West
Virginia be and are hereby returned
to Capt. Rowan for the distinguished
services rendered to his country in a
period Of great emergency, and that

filled his trust marks him as man
of bravery and patriotism scarcely par

This will necessitate immense triple
expansion engines of the highest class
and perhaps one hundred boilers and
furnaces. The consumption of coal
will probably aggregate 1900 to 1000
tons per diem, or over 1000 tons for
each trip. There will be a bill for
fuel alone Of at least s35 900 and the
total expenses for a single passage will
probably be from $4,000 to 800, 900.
This Is enough to stagger any but
the great Neptunes OF commerce: but
against this there should be set off the
vast receipts from passengers and
mails, possibly amounting 70 over

something should be left for interest

Ship owners and builders are not
now disposed to make large ventures
in the direction OF speed, at the sac
rifice OF space which this entails. They
are waiting for some new develop
ment that will give the requisite re-
suits with greater economy than at
present rs possible. In view Of what

binia and the Viper, which attained
the unprecedented speed OF 40 and 43

seem that the engine of the future is

bine system-though it has not yet
been tried in vessels OF large capacity
The great objection TO them Is their
voNacity. as they are perfect gluttons
for coal, and 10 ship has yet been
constructed sufficiently large to carry
all the fuel she would need even in

appetite OF his engines and to adapt

1t is not improbable, the maritime
experts say, that within the limits OF
that somewhat vague period, the near
future" the passage across the ATTAIN
tic ferry" will be made in about four
days, or at the most not to exceed one
hundred hours.
Peering into the new century and
having in mind the grand achieve
ments of its immediate predecessor,
the nineteenth, this forecast should
not be considered unreasonable. To
do this, however, will necessitate an
absolutely new class of ocean steam
ships. capable Of maintaining an aver
age speed of at least 80 knots an hour,

liners for the pastrten years or so has
been to reduce the average time be-

Obituary..

Earl d. Amberg was born March
10th. 1877, and died at his home in
Findlay, Ohio, December 25th, 1900,
aged % years, months and IL days.
For 10 or II years past he had been in
poor health so that it was necessary
at the age of Is to remove him from
school. Some time ago he went to
Colorado hoping that a change of
climate would restore his health, and
had he remained, he might have pro-
longed life, but the love of home and
the care of mother induced him to
return last fall when he began steadi-
ly decline; and on the morning which
brings hope and gladness to millions,
the home he loved was darkened by
the shadow of death and his brief
earthly pilgrimage was ended. He
was young man of studious habits
whose mind traversed intellectual
lines and retained with ease what he
studied and freely and intelligently
conversed upon the same. His daily
conduct was irreprochable, and none
of the vices which so easily disfgure
the character of youth, marred his
life. But neither the love of life, nor
youth, nor intellectual force, nor
moral habits can bar the approach OF
death, which is not satisfied until the
last ditch is reached and the castle
stormed. He was taken away when
life ought to be sweetest, when hope
ought to be brightest, when a great
purpose ought to sway the soul of ev
cry young man to serve his genera
tion, contribute his mite to the gen
eral good and the glory of God. But
so it often is: the vicious often live
to blight the world, while the goot
are taken away. He knew death wa
approaching and said he was prepared
and not afraid to die, and in tina
state he passed away to leave va
cancy not easily filled and make ;
wound that only time can heal.
