The Latest Turbine Steamer.

Fully two months have passed since the steamer Queen. the first boat equip ped with turbine engines to cross the English channel began running regu- larly between Dover and Calais. A much better judgment in regard to her qualities can be formed now, therefore, than early in the summer; and she has certainly shown herself wonderful craft. The absence of noise and vihra- tion adds materially to the comfort of the passengers, and, what is still more important. she makes a new record for speed. In decent weather she trav- els at the rate of the best ocean liners twenty-three knots an hour, and us- ually makes the run from pier head to pier head in fifty minutes. Thus she beats the swiftest of her predecessors by about a quarter of an hour. It is no wonder that similar vessels are pro- posed for other routes across the chan nel.
 Shipbuilders and naval experts who have considered the feasibility of in troducing turbines on warships and transatlantic steamships will find the performance of the Queen instructive. Speed is not the only desideratum. Fa- cility in manoeuvring must not be en- 
 tues and deficiencies of any type of propelling mechanism. Wherever it Is desira ble, as in ferry service, to run a vessel with equal ease in both direc
 ,iors, double-ended sidew neeler gives the most satisfaction. A boat cannot be backed with screw as fast as she can be driven ahead. The turbine can only be used to rotate shafts running .engthwise, and consequently it cannot be applied to paddlewheels. It is avail i a ble only with a screw. Whether the new type of engine would work as well 1 as the old when it was necessary to | back has been one of the most serious l questions requiring solution. Grave | point, because the Parsons engine does not admit of reversal with the same cylinder and turbine which drive a vessel ahead. Supplementary means
 must be employed for that function. | It now appears, from report sent by the American consul in Calais to Washington, that the Queen can go
 astern at considerably more than half | of her full speed when going ahead. | She has three cylinders, three shafts
 and three screws. Ordinarily, the mid | de cylinder takes steam at high pres sure, and passes it along for further expansion in the two others. At one | end of each of the latter there is an
 additional turbine, exclusively for re-
 versal, and controlled by it's own valves.
 When the vessel is backed the middle
 screw is idle, but the combined force ot the side screws when reversed, Is suft- | cient to develop thirteen knots. For
 the brief period in which that ma-
 noeuvre is requisite, such a speed
 would probably be regarded adequate
 to all emergencies and equal to the
 performance of a single screw which

NatiOnalities of Seamen.

In ten years the number of Amert- can sailors shipped on American ships has increased from 2, 900 to 35 GOO, while the number of Scandinavian sailors shipped on American vessels has de creased from 22,OO0 to 16,OO0.
 In British shipping, the most exten- sive in the world, the number of Eng fish sailors has decreased and the number of Lascars-East Indians-has largely increased. Within the past ten years, as steam has replaced sail in commerce. the number of Lascars em- ployed on British steamers has doubled and at present 40.000 are so employed, while there are 10000 British born sea- men. Ten years ago there were 10000 Lascars and 160,000 British born sailors.
 The Lascar whose capacity for with standing torrid heat is abnormal, is es pecially useful as a fireman in the tropics. Australia and New Zealand have protested against the awarding of, government mail contracts to ships employing either Lascars or Chnamen. There has been, in recent years, con siderable increase in the number of Portuguese sailors employed on Amer ican ships and the number o: Italians has more than doubled in ten years. One explanati of the change, which Is taking place in the nationality of seamen on British as well as on Amer ican ships, is the fact that a much larger share of the worlds commerce is now with tropical countries than has been the case heretofore. The eXten- sion of American commerce is almost exclusively with tropical or semi-tropi- cal countries. The same is true, to a more limited extent, with British and German foreign commerce.-New York Sun

How Long Mosquitoes Live.

It is not known just how long mos quitoes can live, but their average life IS much longer than is ordinarily sup posed. Thousands of them live through winter, hibernating or asleep in dark places in barns or house cellars. In sparsely settled localities, where they cannot find such places for shelter, they live through the winter in hollow trees' In caves and holes under up- turned trees ;and. even though the tem- perature may fall far below freezing. they are not winter killed: but on the approach of warm weather become ac- tive again. Mosquitoes are frequently seen flying about in the woods before the snow has wholly left the ground William Lyman Underwood, in the Popular Science Monthly.

 When MT. Price took office he found in vogue the practice for which he is | removed. Applicants desiring to have work expedited in the office were ac- commodated out of office hours, and an additional fee collected therefor. On able practice. Had not MT. Price and

 of dishonesty. at all. Indeed, the rule | of charging extra pay for extra work done outside of office hours was so openly followed that it seems remark

But the un- derstanding grew up in the office, it ap- pears, that if the surveyor general and his clerks chose to work after office | hours for the accommodation of cus- toners it was no infraction of the law

Dlthyramb Dicks Arizona Rival.

Our esteemed contemporary, the New York Sun, is respectfully requested to make Dithyramb Dick edge along in his seat on the pinnacle of fame and make room for rival from Arizona the Hon. Henry Firewater Ashurst of Williams. Conconino county.
 From time to time the Sun has exult- ed because of its discovery of Dith- yramb Dick of Pilduzer park, Mary lands now priceless poet, and properly has it eXulted. It is seldom that a newspaper has the luck to make such duotion in praise of Pilduzer park have thrilled the world, and incidentally have made hundreds of other poets jump into the creek out of sheer envy Not even | famous by the Sun, have pretended to be in it with Dithyranb Dick. The rest of the country long ago abandoned all ambition of producing a genius equal to the songster of Pilduzer, but at an unexpected moment it Is Arizo- mas fortune to come forward with a son whose songs put it all over other poets and place him in the bright lime | light which hitherto has shcne on | Dithyramb Dick alone. But we must make haste to offer proof of the discov- | cry whereof this notice is the caveat
 | The Hon. Henry Firewater Ashurst, l be it known, is a member of the Twen- | ty-second legislature of Arizona, is d statesman of the democratic persua- sion, and makes a speciality of orations | in praise of labor-pronounced with the long sound of A in the first syllable, and | a long-drawn out sound of broad A in the last syllable-thus, laybawr, with two accents. The Hon. Henry talked to the miners at McCabe on Labor day. | We had expected to find him explaining how the miners have been benefited by the agitator and the walking delegate how t is that, idle as many of them | are now, their situation is better than | when they were contentedly drawing

 The present. arrangement of the Queens screws has another advantage. By leaving the middle one inert and running the other two in opposite di- rections, it is possible to make a much sharper turn than if the rudder alone were used in steering. That result Is already secured by the twin screw sys- tenn of some ocean liners. The behav for of the Queen in this respect is not new. Still, the fact that the introduc- ton of the, turbine involves no sacrifice of present possibilities, while it de velops new ones in the matter of speed and economy of space, is extremely sratifying.-New York Tribune.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.


In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1880, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after fort
une who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhea which
it seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one of
his neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera,
and Diarrhea Remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by Shurt-
