Description Of the Kroonland'
Launched at Philadelphia
LARGEST AMERICAN BUILT VESSEL

Kew Steamship, $50 Feet Long, with
Register Of $4,000 Tons ana q
Speed OF Seventeen Knots an Hour'
Will Ply Between New Yorh ana
| Antwerp. tts.
The new steamship Kroonland was
launched at Cramps shipyard the 9TH
er afternoon in Philadelphia, says the
New York Times. The tallow on the
! ways had frozen, and the kro0nland
stuck to such an extent that 1t was
necessary to use powerful hydraulic
Jacks In order to slide her into the wa
ter. The launching Of the Kroonland
was of al informal character. Only a
few invitations, and these verbal, were
issued.
The Kroonland is of the same type
as the Vaderland and iceland and ts a
sister ship to the Finland, in course OF
construction at Cramps. Her contract
speed is seventeen knots an hour. She
is $50 feet Tong, which is twenty-six
feet longer than the St Louis or st.
Paul, and has register of 1900 tons,
or 400 tons more than the st. Louis or
st. Paul. She possesses every device
for the safety and comfort Of passen-
gers and carries the latest improved
appliances for the protection Of life.
Except in the one point Of speed the
Kroonland is the equal of the finest
steamship afloat and will enable per-
of 70 <O o1
the luxuries Of the fastest ocean grey
hounds.
Passengers are to be carried on three
decks-the promenade the upper and
the saloon deck. Among the numerous
distinct advantages offered is the loca-
ton in the midship of all first and Sec
ond cabin saloon and staterooms, a
point where motion is at minimum.
For lighting and ventilation, in addi-
ton to the numerous sidelights, there
is an unusually large trunk well ex-
tending through two tiers of decks,
tastefully decorated and lighted
through a richly ornamented glass
roof. 80 - F' 90 -

excellently lighted and ventilated by
the same process as on the st. Louis
and the st. Paul. In cold weather this
air is heated by passing over steam
pipes, and the heat thus supplied may
be regulated for each deck independ-
emily. The interior rooms, which in
many vessels are sometimes so dark
as to require artificial light, are in
these lighted from overhead by oval
glasses sufficiently large to give ample
light. For extra illumination electric
lights are provided. All of these rooms
are finished in mahogany.
Everything possible has been done
to make the music room and library
attractive. The smoking room for first
class passengers is paneled in Ameri-
can oak and has all the latest appoint
ments and conveniences. The descrip-
ton of the first cabin staterooms will
very nearly serve for the second cab
in, the fittings being almost Identical.
The steerage quarters are commodious
aud we'll ventilated.
4uefe are UeTtuS lor O4o HTSI GLASS;
passengers, 1914 second class and about
1000 third class The arrangements
for loading and discharging cargo are
very complete. The vessel is the lar
gest built thus far in the United States.
She was designed especially for the
New York-Antwerp service of the In
ternational Navigation company.

NHtlresS Workers.


The world is a large farm in which
there are great many workers.
The soll is made first and among
the makers are the lichens, rivers,
snow, rain, heat, cold, frost, glaciers,
earthquakes and volcanoes.
The lichen is the most useful of the
soil makers because it grows where
any other things cannot grow. 1t
sends its roots down in the lava beds
where its roots make passage ways for
the roots of other plants which after
ward spring up.
The earthquakes and volcanoes help
make soil by breaking up rocks and
the ground. After the ground has
been broken up, then comes rivers
which wear it away by running over it.
The heat and cold help to make soil
because when anything is warm it is
larger and when it gets cold it is
smaller SO the constant change in the
atmosphere breaks the rocks.
After the soil is made then the
ploughers of the soil take possession.
The ploughers of the soil are in two

classes, the useful and unuseful ones.
Among the useful ploughers are the
angleworms, beetles, ants, moles,
bugs and beavers.
Inc angiewvrm is said to be the
most useful plougher because it pioughs
the ground thoroughly and fertilizes it
by swallowing it.
lhe ants also are useful because
they help to make the ground finer.
they also bury dead bugs and birds
which help to iertilize the ground.
The unuseful ploughers are the rab-
bits, chipmunks, prairie dogs and
gophers. These ploughers are not
useful because they make such large
holes and eat SO much that they eat
the roots OF pants.
The birds we know as Natures
Militia because they help to protect
the plants by killing the bugs and in
sects. In England the hedge rows
were cut down and the grubs that
lived III there went into the neighbor-
ing gardens because they could not
find enough to eat. The birds also
went away because they have to have
some place to rear their young and
build their nests.
In Italy the people used to 60 out in
parties and Kill the birds as they went
| from the north to the south. In this
way they killed the birds of other
countries as we'll as their own because
most all birds migrate.
Wien friedrich the Great was ruler
OF Prussia he ordered all the sparrows
to be killed because he said they ate
his cherries. The people killed off
the birds and the next year instead Of
having more cherries he did not have
any because the insects had come and
| destroyed them. The people paid
the insects but it did not do any good
SO at last birds had to be imported be-
cause birds once driven away will not
! come back of their own free will. The
government of most all countries have
taken measures to protect the birds es-
pecially during the time when they
are raising their young.
Millions and millions of birds are
killed every year to be sent to Paris,
London and Vienna to trim ladies'
| DonLet,.
In the deserts are where birds are
most needed because here the locust
lives and rear their young. When the
young are old enough they fly away
and are pursued by tlocks of birds
which cannot destroy them because
there are too many.
| Whenever new plants are brought
into a new country, new birds and in
sects appear. For this reason people
think it best not interfere with Ma
lures workers.

Miles, Objections.

II. F THE people of this country un-
derstood the objections made by
Gen. Miles to the proposed army
bill there is little doubt that they
would declare he was right, and that
the president and the secretary of war
were wrong. Perhaps he was indis-
Greet in declaring that he would resign
if the bill passed, and perhaps he
won't fulfill his threat, but there is no
doubt that the aggravation he has had
during the last few years has been
great, and this bill proposes to give
the president the right, at any time,
to shove the commanding general aside
and put favorite, political or other
wise, in his place.
The particular feature Of the bill to
which General Miles objects is the
section providing that ''the senior gen
eral officer of the army shall be as
signed to command such portion Of the
army as the president may direct or
be detailed in the general staff corps.
All duties prescribed by law for the
commanding general of the army shall
be performed by the chief of the pen-
eral staff or other general officer des-

Then follows a provision that the
present lieutenant general shall be the
chief of the general staff.
While this last provision excerpts
General Miles against summary re-
moval from his present position, it
would make the army the creature of
politicians rather than we'll trained
and effective body of men. Under
such law the commanding general
make room for some presidential fav-
orite who may or may not know enough
about military matters to equip him

have grown gray in the service may
be relegated to practically inferior
positions.

Of war know very little about the best
military methods, and any plan that
allows them to be sole dictators in the
details of army matters, aside from
the question of right and wrong in
volyed, is dangerous one. OF all de-
partments the army should be freest

RudyArd Kipling's latest poem is
creating a lot of discussion, not all of
it complimentary to him. A colleague
in the world of poesy has said some
thing in parody about ''spectacled
fool at the ink-pot, and a muddled
brain at the pen. Yet it is said that
love and poetry are twin sisters.
There are slang words that fill a
distinct void-eXpress an idea better
than any recognized phrase. They are
good. They will make their way into
polite speech. But there is a type of
slang as meaningless as it is vulgar
that has no function except to detile.
1t ought not to be difficult to distin-
guish between the two-encouraging
one, rejecting the other.
One of the most pathetic sights is tC
see man giving up the struggle to
lie down when just in sight of success.
OF course people are side-tracked or
hindered in the race thru no fault Of
their own, but the vast ma jority Of
of those who cease to climb and give
up, do so from some weakness or de
feet. Many of them lack courage OF
determination.
1t is really pitable to see young
men and women in the prime of life be
coming discouraged and ceasing t.
advance. Many of these unfortunate:
would attain at least something of rea
success by merely sticking to thei1
tasks, but there is no hope wha.eve1

POSTAL CURRENCY.
A Bill Drafted by the Committee Appoint
ed to Consider the Question-Soms
Of Its Provisions.

Washington, June Am admins
tration bill for the establishment OF
a postal currency has been drafted

meat for an indefinite period such an
action might be possible. But beef is
perishable, and no man is bound down
by laws prohibiting him killing and
dressing meat for his own use and
selling 1t to his neighbors. A capital
Of $50 or $40 is all that is required ia
open butcher shop in ayillage when
fat cattle sell at $3.50 to $500 a hun

possibilities that the beef trust could
not block them all. As it is beef cat

Uniting School Districts.

The proposition to unite two or
more school districts to form one
large central district has been head
ing this way for several years. Pa.
irons should study it thoroughly be.
forehand so as not to vote in haste
and repent at leisure.
In 1901 our legislature passed a
law authorizing such consultations.
1t provided that the clerks Of the sew.
eral districts which it is proposed to
unite shall, upon the written applica.
tons Of five voters Of the respective
districts, or by order II their school
boards, call meeting Of the voters OF
the districts, at their respective
school houses, and il majority OF
the voters living in each district "a
vor the proposition the county super.
intendent may at bis discretion, dis
organize the old districts and call a
meeting Of the new one to elect
school board. II any district votes
against uniting, the whole proposition
fails for that time. In case Of union
the property Of each old district goes,
first, to pay its floating debts then Its
bonded debts, and the residue, II
any, belongs to the new district. II
any bonded debt remains, the prop
erty Of the district which created it
will be taxed to pay it. Any district
may vote to unite part with one
union district and part with another.
The new district board is authorized
to provide for the transportation for
the children living two or more miles
from the school to and from the
school house, under such rules and
regulations as the board may pre-.
scribe, and shall have the same gen.
eral powers and duties as other dis
trict boards. The annual meeting Of
the union district shall be held on the
second Wednesday in June.
These are the main provisions Of
the new law. They should be studied
carefully. One may be in favor Of
the general principle Of consolidation
and yet not favor the law as it is, in
which case be could use his influence
to have the law changed next winter
Many may oppose the system simply
because they know nothing about II
and are afraid to try something new
Such cannot escape responsibility by
staying at home and letting others dc
the voting, because under the law
every stay.at-home is counted against
the proposition.
