CLIPPER SHIPS
They Can 0utstrip the Best Yachts That Sal
the Sea.

The Shamrock ii. is credited with q
sreed of over fourteen knots an hour Tor
short distances, when everything was III
her favor The Columbia has never act
ually covered fourteen knots in an hour,
but has sailed at a speed of fully four
teen knots for as much as ten minutes
together For long runs i'll cruising rig
no Yacht has ever exceeded eleven Knots
an hour The Vaikyrie II. in June, 1881.
on her VOYAGE home to Scotland, did q
test DAYS run of 256 knots, which gives
Ter a speed per hon: of 10,62 knots.
Seeing that a modern racing yacht is
sailing machine pure and simple, nine
persons out of ten imagine that 1t rep
resents the acme OF speed obtainable from
wind. To these it may come as a shock
to hear that there have been during the
past century, and are to-day, sailing YES
sells afloat with which in a long race even
the Shamrock II. would stand no chance
a! all.
The Aberdeen clippers Of the early COS
were the first craft to show what could
be done in the way of speed under sail.
The Maid of Judah in 1860 made the pas
sage from London to Sydney in seventy
eight days. The Lilies, clipper of 1,66j
tons took troops from Dublin to Glhral-
tar in four days, and later sailed from
Liverpool to Melbourne in seventy-nlne
DAYS On this occasion she logged 36o

sion This is more than one-third as fast
again as the Valkyrie II. s best record.
The well-named Hurricane of the
Thames ana Mersev line came home once
from Melbourne in seventy-four days. On
this occasion she achieved what is prob
ably worlds record for speed. She ran
go miles in sixteen and one-half hours
a speed exceeding sixteen miles an hour,
q performance that her builders ana own.
ers might well be proud of.
In 1867 occurred the greatest of China
tea clipper races. Fourteen ships took
part The Ariel won, covering the dis
lance from Foo-ChowFoo to London IN
1O2 days. The curious part of this race
was that a ship which was not entered
for the race the Sir Lancelot, OF Gree
mock, a compassionate vessel, beat every
thing else by three days. The Sir Lance
lot was 100 tons burden and carried 1900
feet of canvas-that is. just over an acre.
Her mainmaSt was 200 feet nigh. Her
record of 1900 miles in eighty-nine days
still stands, while her best days. sail was
SD statue miles in twenty-tour hours
The absolute record, however, for a TWEEN
ty-four hours run belongs to the Their
mopylae, "a 94S-ton clipper. On January
:: 1870. she sailed $50 statue miles-a rate
NJ II. s miles an hour. The enormous five
ships of to-day carry on these traditions
of speed.
IT is of course the size OF Ties: ships
which gives them the advantage over
racing yachts. The displacement OF cup
Yachts. all under $50 tons, makes the diff
ference between them and the big trad

Joseph Franklin of Charlestown cele-
hrated his IS birthday anniversary re-
Gently in a decidedly novel fashion.
He entertained more than 200 guests
in his home on Sullivan street with
all exhibition of his own needlework.
His daughters ami several young
friends assisted him in receiving and
in displaying the embro:deries. Hun
dreds of specimens were shown; deli
cate linen centrepieces, elaborate ta-
BILE covers, towels, napkins; doylies,
wrought in natural colors, besides
drawn work and hemstitching of the
finest sort. Every stitch was set by
Mr.. Franklin himself, and furthermore
he washed and pressed every piece
to make ready for this day.
The story of how this CHEEKY old
gentleman happened to find such en-
ployment is interesting. He always
led busy, active life, first on a New
Hampshire farm. then III many parts
Of the world as ships captain, and lat
er as a builder and decorator. About
10 years ago, while working on the
roof of a building, he fell to the ground
and received serious injuries. A brok-
en- leg meant months of Imprisonment
and his active temperament rebelled
at the enforced idlencss. Always
favorite with his young acquaintance

Captain Cable believes that he has
found a way to solve the problem OF
protecting the occupants of a SUBJ
marine boat from the danger of as.
phyXiation while under water. The
most serious objection to the use OF
submarine boats is the danger Of suf'
location from the fumes generated
by the gasoline engine usec to pro-
pei the boat on the surface and to
furnish power for the dynamo which
produces the electricity stored for
lighting and for submarine propul-
sion.
While no serious results have SO

Tn THE HANDS OF THE MAFIA.

People will tell you that the days
of romance are gone, never to return;
but my strange experience in Venice
in the winter season of 1894, changed
my opinion on the subject once and
for all.
l had at that time business COM
mission in the larger towns of Italy,
and from Verona l was going on to
Venice. In my compartment was
young Italian-a rather TASTY looking
fellow, clad III a curious green travel
Ing cloak. We did not speak to one
another, and as it was very cold, |
curled myself up in my corner and
went to sleep, wishing inwaTdly that
l had had the forethought to bring
nice warm overcoat with me like that
of my companion.
When awoka ne we're apparently
nearing Venice, and l was the only
occupant of the carriage. Where the
Italian had got out l did not know,
but, curiously enough, be had left
his cloak behind him. 1t was a new
garment, warmly lined, and slipped
it over my shoulders, intending to
hand it over to the officials at Venice.
Ten minutes later the train steamed
into the station, and l tumbled out to
look after my luggage. There were
good many people in the train, and in
my eagerness quite forgot that was
wearing a cloak which did not belong
to me, and which l ought to hand over
forthwith to the lost property office.
Outside the station there we're the
usual crowds of persuasive gondoliers
plying for hire, and the whole scene
was one of hustle and confusion. 1t
was now late at night, and the lights
of the station, reflected in the ihky
black water, had weirdly pictur-
esque effect. Presently gondolier
came toward me, gave me searching
glance which took me in from head
to foot, and then inquired. with
courtly bow, if he might have the
honor of taking the signor to his
hotel. l signified my assent, and in
a few moments my few belongings
and myself were more or less snugly
slowed away. With a few strokes
my gondolier drew clear of the crowd
at the station, and we were presently
gliding down the broad bosom of the
Grand Canal.
The hight was cold, and there was
a kind of damp frostiness in the bit
ing wind which sighed across the Ia
goon. Instinctively l drew MY cloak
closely round me, and then realibzed
with a jerk that had quite forgotten
to deliver it to the railway officials.
How forgetful of me-" thought.
"But, never mind! will send a mes

An eminent American lawyer now
deceased was sadly given to intoXica-
ton. On one occasion he entered
church while a minister was holding
forth on the future punishment Of the
wicked.
Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who
was relling near the door, the preacher
exclaimed, There stands sinner

the day of judgment.
At this the lawyer folded his arms
planted himself as firmly as he could,
and addressing the man in the pulpit.
