FIFTY YEARS AGO

different than any that had at that
time been used. He did not state spe-
officially just what the principle was
other than that "the propelling ap-
paratus would be dist ibuted at various
points in the vessel, below the swells
of the sea, where it would have a di-
rect and constant action in rough as
well as smooth waters, thus eliminate
ing strain"
There was also new plan of gener-
ating the propelling power, which was
rather vaguely explained as a light
and simple apparatus combining heat
steam and the pressure of the atmos-
phere, by which the pressure of 5000
horses can be produced at small ex-
pense.
1t was expected that the steamer
could accommodate 5000 passengers and
an immense amount of freight.
Mr.. Davison's invention of hull was
not to be confined to steamers alone,
but also intended in the designs OF
sailing ships and even yachts. In this
latter field, he proposed to build a
yacht VI lUU lSeL OH u6Ch, WnOSb COSE
would be about $4,000 and would sail
her against vessel of any other
known model, also 100 feet on deck
the winner to take the losers yacht
1t is not known that Mr.. Dawson
received any answers to his proposal,
but it is likely that very few would
consider it, for while his yacht would
be just the same length as his rival,
on deck, she might be half again as
long below the water line and could
carry sail plan in proportion.
AS ocean steamers of the type he
proposed are not known at the pres
emit day, nor can any yachts of such
dimensions be found in any of the
registers, it is safe to say that the
idea was not successful. What the
scheme was for propelling power, ia
not known, but it is possible that Mr..
Dawson had hit upon, in crude man
ner, the principles that control the
speed producing machinery of to-day.

There is a most wonderful fascina-
ton about the czarina, and to English
people she will always prove an object
of interest, for was she not the grand
daughter of our late queen? The EN-
press of Russia is an extremely beau
tiful woman, and we cannot but adj
mire the way in which she, a mere
girl, took up her position and its re-
sponsibilities in a foreign land, and
at once made her presence felt at the
court over which she reigned as en-
press consort, says Woman's Life A
devoted wife, she is hardly ever alb
sent from her husbands side. and at
the same time she is model mother.

that there is no heir to the imperial

1t is a curious fact in nature that
many Of her products arrive at pre-
eminence where they have their sever
est struggle for existence. Just where
the season is barely long enough to
ripen wheat is where the hard grain
which produces the finest flour is
grown, for instance. AS one crosses
frosty attitudes toward the semi-tropi-
cal delights of modern California and
Colorado, it is the fruit which grows
nearest to the snow line that pleases
most by its flavor and size.
And it is where the summer, I'M
touched by frost, is never more than
two months long, in northeastern Can
ada, that the low-bush cranberry-th
concomitant of the succulent turkey
is at its very best. The great swamps
near the height of land, where thou
sands Of bushels of these acid berries
ripen every year, are all unknown to
commerce. Quite secluded, far away
from roads, nourishing no fauna of
any kind, known only to a few hunt
ers and explorers, the so-called econ
omy of nature becomes an empty
dream in the face of the immense
waste of acres of good fruit, often
three or four inches deep, which has
been going on for centuries.
The writer has pushed away the snow
in midwinter so that he might thrust
his hands down to the bed moss, and
bring them UP laden with fruit, which,
though frozen, was still very accepta-
BILE to one travelling light with fat pork
and bareback biscuit for an unwaver-
ing diet. Once in August a sack was
filled with fine berries in twenty min
utes, and from all appearances thou
sands more might have been filled
without depicting the supply
One swamp, the most southerly of
prolific chain. was visited this year
by an enterprising band of French
Canadians, who carried out to where

els, which they peddled about the out
skirts of Montreal early in the season
for Is cents quart-double the price

Pure water for Jerusalem.

Bad water supply has caused much
sickness in Jerusalem for many years.
Thirty years ago Lady Burdett- Coutts
offered s250,O0O to bring water from
Ain Arroub but the Turkish govern
ment barred the way. At last, how
ever, at the suggestion of Mohammed
Djevad Pasha, recently installed gov
ernor of Jerusalem, the sultan has
given permission to carry out plan
submitted by Franghia Effendi, one OF
his engineers. A ten centimeter iron
pipe will bring water from Ain Salab
(the sealed fountain) along the bed of
the old aqueduct which Solomon built.
On July was held the opening cere-
mony in the presence of representa-
tives of the Greek church, Roman
Catholics, Turks and other communi-
ties. In two months time, at cost of
$4,000, water will be available for all
the people of Jerusalem.
