THE GREATEST SHIP AFLoAr.

The Celtic weighs sc, ZOO tons.
She is 700 feet long and rs feet
beam.
Her plates are IA inches thick, and
some weigh four tons apiece.
There were put into her 1,7o4 900
rivets by hydraulic machinery.
She will carry $500 pounds of
meat and $4,000 pounds of -four.
I She will carry 2,742 passengers and
crew and $4,000 tons of cargo.
She has IL decks, and the captains
bridge is 100 feet above the keel.
She will carry $4,000 bottles of ale
and a quarter of ton of tobacco.
She is one-fourth larger than the
Oceanic, hitherto the biggest ship.
She will draw too much water to
come into New York harbor when
loaded to the mark.
She measures 700 feet long. only
nine feet longer than the Great East
ern, but will draw IL feet more water.
The Celtic, the greatest ship in the
world, has been launched. The event
took place at Belfast on April 4. She
Is almost fourth larger than the
Oceanic, previously the largest. Both
these ships completely surpass the
Great Eastern, which was regarded
for nearly so years as beyond all
practical size.

THE COST OF PARLIAMENTs,

In the United States the 90 sena-
tors and $50 congressman are paid
81, SOC, 900 in salaries.
The German reichstag, with its two
branches, costs the voters on an av-
erage 100000 a year.
The legislators in the italian par
lament receive no salaries, but have
tree transportation on railroads. The
cost of the Italian parliament last
year nevertheless was $42o, 900.
The parliament Of Holland com
prises $50 members, in two houses.
Members Of the upper house receive
four dollars a day and of the second
body $500 q year and mileage. The
parliament of Holland costs $500, 900
. year.
The most expensive parliament in
Europe is that of France, which
costs $1,5Oo,oo0 a year. The French
people are very well represented.
There are 800 senators and 5s4 dep
uties, total in excess of 500. Each
receives salary of 81 800 a year.
The members of the British par
lament serve without salary, There
are $50 members in the upper and $50
in the lower branch. The former get
no pay at all and the latter but $500
year. If any session lasts longer
than four months they are paid at
the rate Of $3.50 day additional.
The incidental expenses of this body
last year were but $4,000.
The most scantily paid of any of
the regular salaried lawmakers are
those of Austria. There are two leg
islatiye bodies for Austria, one meet
ing in Vienna and one in Buda-Pesth.
The total cost is $500, 900 a year. An
Austrian law provides that the MEM
bers receive ten forms, or two dol
lars day. The lawmakers of Aus
tria receive therefore the minimum
wages of day laborer employed in
any public work in New York.

others said or what the others did he
did not know or care, but every word
uttered by Louisa Banks and her every
movement and every look was as Wv
Idly before him now as it had been at
that time. Nor was this strange. for
to him she was the only living reality
there. The rest were only so many fig
ures whose trivial deeds and existence
were unworthy of a thought.
He recalled the expression on her
face at the moment when her eyes met
his, and now il was a wonder to him
how he had ever managed to hold him

passion that filed his heart

were recalled by Turner, who renewed
the conversation by opening up a new
subject.

tinued, "'cause he had to go out to the

When Turner had finished, there was
silence. Melvin had no observation to
