but since you made me a pair my sight
has become very good. and / am neither
troubled with terrible headaches and my
temples used TO pain me terribly and
jump ht to burst. and tears would run
down by face, but l thank you because
since l have been using your glasses
have not had an ache or pain in either
my head or eyes in over IL months. and
can see better now than l could 20
years since. / can assure you that sew

Designer Fife would not talk much
about the new boat yesterday.
Speaking OF Saturdays performance he
said that he would rather see the chal-
lenger win by half an hour, but II could
easily be seen from~fnis genial and pleas
ant manner that he was well satisfied
with the course OF events.
T. F. Day. the editor OF The Rutbier.

the showing she made in Saturdays race,
Shamrock Ill, Is the best boat the Brit

COST OF OCEAN SPEEDING.

Much has been said of late re-
garding the speed of the German
Atlantic greyhounds. Not enough,
perhaps. has been said regarding the
cost OF this speed. The latest crea-
ton Of the North German Lloyd,
Kaiser Wilhelm H., is designed to
do twenty-four knots an hour at an
expenditure of 10000 indicated
horsepower. Our White Star liner
Cedric, the largest shi p in the world,
will go seventeen knots with 1900
horsepower. But, says the Shipping
World, the Kaiser Wilhelm will
burn $50 tons of coal per day, which
is 100 per cent more than the Ce-
dric, and she will need $3.50 more
hands to work her. Curiously
enough, of her crew of 600 only for
ty-live will be ordinary sailors, the
remainder being mechanics of vari-
Gus orders.-London Telegraph.
