New Type Of steamship.

A company has been formed in Co.
penhagen for the construction OF 4
trial steamship Of a new type. The
inventor is Capt. F. G. Ishoy, who
has taken out patents in the princi.
pal countries. In this new form OF
steamer. the screw is placed under
the bottom instead of aft. The hull
is materially changed in form, being
fiatter and the ships draft thereby
considerably lessened. 1t is claimed
that saving In the consumption OF
coal of about 20 per cent will be ef.
fected. The inventor believes that
with the same amount OF fuel the
speed will be greatly increased, and.
finally. that this form OF craft will
be much steadier and more sea-
worthy.

vantage that the metal flows into the

ordinary crucible the Stag always runs

The loss of heat by radiation is
much reduced and the lining is not

The Coming Man.

Professor Brunor makes n startling
prediction as to human development.
He sees in the future man a being In
whom strange transformations shall
have taken place; a being In whom
brain is master, ruling body much
larger than that OF the present man:
a body which has lost Its floating ribs.
its vermiform appendix and its little
toes, and in which many other changes
have taken place He believes the
chest and upper and lower limbs will
be much larger and that the future
man will be much taller than his proto-
type OF to-day.-London Globe.

had signed the Bank of Dennison. The
check was received by the Bank of

other and somewhat similar case will
soon be filed in which the Western
Union will be sued for $4,000.
