TELEGRAPH STREET"
Captain Morton has very coy quar-
tiers on the upper deck of his vessel,
while below the machinery deck, in
the after portion of the vessel. one
finds a miniature city. In Telegraph
Street" there are rows of cabins In
which the senior officers are Quartered.
Aft of this street is Hotel Cecil" or
the senior officers saloon, and on the
port side of the vessel one finds the
suburbs" Here are many junior
officers and electricians, who have
finer quarters than are usually found
for first-class passengers on the larg-
est of ocean liners, while the quarters
of the many other people aboard the
vessel, according to their classes, are
very good.
FACTS ABOUT SILvERTOWN.
The cable steamer Silvertown is the
property of the India Rubber, Gutta
Percha, and Telegraph Works Com
pany, Ltd, of Silvertown, England,
popularity known as the Silvertown
Company, and is the largest of the
cable steamers of that company. She
was built in 1873, and since that time
has laid many cables for various gov
ernments over many leagues of the
worlds oceans. Her length is $50
feet, breadth So feet and depth "a feet
6 inches. She is designed specially
for cable laying and can secure mod
erately high speed ON small coal con-
sumption, so that she can travel long
distances without having to seek
coaling station and this is the big re-
quirement of a cable laying vessel.

day dream of railroad speed on the water

upon her next Wednesday. She has laid
at the same spot in idleness for six or
seven years. The coming sale Will prob
ably bring about her dissolution as a boat
and end an abortive career. Built for the
energy and swiftness required for three
days transatlantic trip. she lies stripped
and dead in Delaware mud, fitting shape
of her designers delusion, and the tomb
stone of his hopes and ambitions
With the length of a good-sized ocean
liner, the Cassard has the waist of a
steam yacht. These points, her designer
imagined. were to be her great virtues:
they proved to be her undoing. So long
and narrow, she nearly turned turtle when
launched. She was staunchly built but
has been so long in her bed of mud at
Essington that her slender spars are with
out shred of canvas: the ropes have long
been rotted away and her tunnels are
corroded by the biting breeZes that blow
from the Delaware. Those bare spars and

Howard Cassard, who designed this
unique craft, and gave her his name was
a Balumorean Ten years ago, when the
craze for fast trips across the Atlantic was
developing, he conceived an idea of ship
construction which, to his mind, would rev.
olutionize travel to Europe. His notion
was that the arrow shape gave arrow flight
as well on water In the air, and he set
about applying that fancy to fact. He came
near getting the arrows shape. The old
forms which had been tried and proved
methods of construction, based on the ship
wright careful calculations, would not
yield the speed he was seeking, so he fol-
lowed methods of his own.
The product of his ideas was a steamer
with double steel plated hull, 240 feet long,
81 feet deep and only 16 feet wide at the
waist--an extremely narrow beam for such
a long boat. She was TO be of ten feet
draught, with seyenty-ton 1000 horse
power engine, forty-ton boiler, sxty-ton
keel and of go tons displacement He con-
cluded that this tonnage would be sufficient
ballast to hold her down. The workman
ship upon her was excellent. Her sides
We're as stout as II she were three times
the size and made for rough usage. She
was so well built that even now there is no
looseness about her.

WINTER GARDENING.
Table Luxuries for Rich People Pro-
duced in Greenhouses.
From the New York Times


In recent years the rich New Yorker,
with his "pampered taste that knows no
abstinence" has not had to deny himself
during the winter of fruits and vegetables
he is so fond Of sin season." that is, in
natures season, for mans ingenuity has
changed the seasons, so far as the mar
kets are concerned. Winter gardening in
America has grown to large proportions,
especially in the neighborhood of New
York, where the winter demand for sum-
mer luxuries Is very heavy. On Long
Island hundreds of a cres of land are now
under cultivation beneath glass roofs, and
there are other large farms in New Jersey
similarly protected from the cold.
Hothouse fruits and vegetables multiply
in quality and quantity each year. Big
shipments in protected cars are sent into
the city each day. In the south, where the
climate is more favorable to the cultivation
of garden crops, and where less artificial
protection is needed. large quantities of
Strawberries and other fruits are raised
and shipped to cities in the north.
dollhouse products, being out of season
luxuries command high prices, but the
competition of many growers and the de-
crease in the necessary expense have served
to lower them so as not to be prohibitive.
The dollhouse gardener has learned to di-
versify his industries, and also to follow the
profitable practice Of rotating his crops
BY the of fertilizers he also is able to
make his gardens produce three or four
crops each year, the variations In tempera-
ture being regulated so as to give each of
them the degree of heat and moisture they
would get from the time of planting in the
spring until maturing, early in the sum-
mer. although this season may extend
from the LIST of November to the end of
February, when his products will be rare
luxuries for the table, and bring CORE
spondingly large prices.
One of the most important auxiliary con-
siderations in winter gardening Is transpor-
tation, the same as in the summer, when
protection against the whitening heat is
necessary. But this has been satisfactorily
arranged. and little difficulty Is experienced
In getting the valuable vegetables and fruits
from the hothouses to the markets in dis
tant cities.
The increased cost Of coal, owing to the
strike, dollhouse gardeners say. will neces-
state raising the prices of garden products
raised during the winter. Large quantities
of fuel are used, and the increased expense
of maintaining the lighthouses, they say, will
be severely felt. Florists. too, who must
keep up their hothouses during the winter
months. say that higher prices for flowers
will be inevitable;

ENGLAND's UNION JACK.
Some Facts About It's Character, Use
and Identity.

from the LONDON Times.
To Judge from the correspondence which
we have lately printed, there would seem
to be no little confusion Of mind in many
quarters concerning the character, the use
and even the identity Of the national flag.
There is indeed. no common agreement as
to what the national flag is. Lord Hawkes.
bury insists that 1t is the red ensign and
nothing else. No doubt he Is right in the
sense that the red ensign proclaims the
nationality Of the unprivileged British mer-
chant vessel and Is the only flag that can
lawfully be displayed by such a vessel as
But If the red ensign is the only flag that
can properly be called national, how comes
1t that the flag flying at the Victoria Tower
whenever parliament is sitting is not the
red ensign. but the union jack?
The question Is not altogether without
difficulty. perhaps. But with all respect for
advised. hold the better opinion to be that
the union Jack Is the national flag properly
so called. the red ensign being that form
of 1t which Is prescribed by law as the
symbol of the nationality of every British
vessel at sea. not being man OF war or
vessel otherwise privileged to wear a diff
ferent ensign. That the royal standard is
not the national flag, nor national flag in
any sense is proposition too clear to adj
the sovereign. and can be displayed by
subject only by special permission OF the
sovereign. and this. from the nature Of the
case. Is very rarely accorded. This is es-

Folkstone. which we printed on June Z.
The vicar stated that his congregation had
spent FLO in buying a royal standard
thinking that they would be able to fly
the flag from the church tower as usual, -
and he asked that an exception might be
made in their favor. Sir Francis KnollyS,
as he then was. replied that the royal
standard. which Is the kings personal flag,
can only be hoisted at the coronation. If
permission were given in one case it would
be impossible to refuse 1t in any other. l
must remind YOU he added, however,
that you can always fly the union jack"
1t would seem from this that, in the opin-
lon of the kings private secretary-which
we NAV be sure was not lightly siven-the
proper flag to fly on any festive occasion
is the union Jack. Lord Hawkesbury might
urge perhaps. that this is merely an obiter
dictum. and that 1t does not finally esta-
blish the title of the union jack to be re-
garded as the only true national flag. But
surely this question is decided by the fact
that the union jack is a feature common,
and the only feature common, to all en-
signs. whether white, red or blue, which
are worn by British ships al sea- Ensigns
are not merely flags; they are essentially
distinguishing flags.
White. red and blue ensigns are one and
all symbols of British nationality as dis
tinct from all other nationaaities, and, as
between themselves. they distinguish diff
ferent classes or categories of British ships.
The display of the union Jack is the inter-
national mark of all three, the color of the
fly being only a municipal distinction. SO
to speak. The same conclusion seems to
follow also. from the history and structure
of the union lack. This flag is combina-
ton of the original national flags OF the
three countries now consolidated into the
united kingdom. The original national flag
of England was the cross of st. George, a
rectangular red cross on white ground.
The original national flag of Scotland was
the cross Of st. Andrew. diagonal white
cross or satire on a blue ground. The
original national flag of Ireland. said to
have been borrowed from the arms of the
ground.

English Biackberries.
From the London Chronicle.

Blackberries this year have shown but
little sign Of becoming more than red ber-
ries, and even should they now ripen. an
improbable event, children will care little
for gathering them. There Is a widespread
belief that blackberries should not be
plucked after Old Michaelmas day. In
some parts 1t is because satan on that day
sets his foot upon them, while in others 1t
Is thought he spits upon the berries In
Scotland the devil throws his cloak over
them, In Ireland he marks the berry with
his cloven hoof. In rural parts of this
country 1t Is believed spiders spread their
webs over the bushes as warning that the
devil had thrown his cloak over them.
