GREAT BRIGHTER WILL
 SOON MAKE FIRST TRIP

Is no less than 674,OO0 cubic feet. This means that the ship could carry at one time 636000 bushels of wheat or the yield of 4O,000 western acres. On her upper decks carefully covered from the wealth CT, there are stoutly-built stalls for the safe and humane transportation of TAI cattle or horses. The work Of exporting American cattle to Europe has now reached an extraordinary efficiency. Out of the "A cattle lately carried across by the Mississippis sister ship Massachu- setts, in an unusually rough and bolster ous voyage, the loss was only two. The 744 cattle which the Mississippi could handle in a single voyage would supply the beef for an entire month to an Eng fish town of 100000 inhabitants.

 The Mississippi bears the name of sin gular renown in the steam fleet of Amer ica-a name borne by one of the earliest and most celebrated vessel that ever flew the national flag In distant waters. And 1t is a strange coincidence that this other and earlier Mississippi was built on the same river, within mile or two of where the new Atlantic Transport liner was launched. It is interesting, too, to recall that like the new vessel. the earlier one had a sister ship known as the Missouri. The first Mississippi was a powerful sidewheel steam frigate, one of the pioneers of our steam war fleet authorized by congress In 1889. The

Baltimore, April 11.-A great American freighter for the deep sea trade, bearing the good American name of Mississippi, has just been completed by the new ship yard at Camden New Jersey and makes her first voyage next week bearing the products of the south and west to Eu- rope from the southern port of Balti- more.
 This Mississippi was designed and built especially for the Baltimore-London ser vice of the Atlantic Transport line of the International Mercantile Marine com pany. She is the second first-class freight ship to be added to this service since the Morgan merger" was formed. The Mississippi Is a very large, pow erful vessel. Good judges say that this ship and her sister Massachusetts are unsurpassed for efficiency and economy for swift and cheap handling of cargo in the great fleet of steamships now en- gagged in the North Atlantic trade. The Mississippi is 505 feet long, with width of 5S feet, depth of 43 feet, and a gross tonnage of about 5000 tons. These fig ures may not be very ineligible to landsmen, but they mean substantially that the Mississippi is about as long as an ordinary city block, as wide good-sized street and as high from keel to deck as a row of four-story houses.
 The ship has the modern twin screws which means so much for security and handiness, triple expansion engines and double bottom for the carrying of wa ter ballast and also to keep the ship afoat in case of striking an unseen ob- struction. If the outer bottom were pierced the ship would still float easily upon the inner one. The hull, of course, Is of steel throughout, and the ship Is subdivided into nine water-tight com partments.
 The designed speed of the Mississippi ia 12 knots an hour-not a greyhound rate but considerably more than that of the average freighters now plying to and fro on the North Atlantic. The cargo space of the Mississippi is enormous. It

The Dreams of the Blind.

From the New York Press.
 A man blind from birth, speaking of the mental pictures which unfortunates like himself have of external things, said:
 "We get some idea of shape, more than we do of size Of color we have an idea of black and white and red, but I think few, if any of us. can comprehend any other hue. We picture the sun as an immense mass with red rays shooting about 1t, and daylight as million white shafts floating above the earth
 When a blind man dreams his dreams are not like those of other people, but consist almost entirely of sensations and sounds He cannot dream of scenes and places, for he has never seen them. For instance, when wo dream of our friends we dream of hearing their voices. The sensations of sound and motion take the place in the dreams of the blind of the objects who appear in the visions of the night to those who can see. I speak of those who have been blind always. for. of course, for those who once could see their visions may be filled with visions of people and places which their waking eyes cannot now behold. but which may appear vividly to them in sleep. But one who has been blind always cannot dream of seeing, because he does not know what the sensation of sight is.''

Some gar deners do not like their seed beds sown anyhow, but prefer the plants in rows, or drills. as the experts call them A line is stretched across the ground and with the corner of draw hoe a shallow chan nel is made against it, about an inch deep; some make 1t with rake, and there Is also a small machine for the purpose. which creates it's own track and deposits the seeds at any desired thickness. All the operator has to do Is to wheel 1t on the ground to be sown; the depth being kept uniform and the seeds evenly dis- tributed, insures a good appearance to the seedlings when growing

How to Sow Crop of Onions.

How to Sow a Crop of Onions. Donald Mcdonald in the London Tele-
 graph.
 With the soil crumbling down to fine ness beneath the harsh sweep of these drying winds, it Is astonishing how quickly 1t can be got ready for the main crops to be sown. A few hours of search ing blasts will dry the surface of the earth almost to dustiness, even though no sunshine should be visible. "A peck of such dust Is worth kings ransom says an old proYerb. which may, be taken to mean that the remoyal of .superabundant humidity enables the gardener to get in his seeds. I will describe the prepara- tion for sowing a crop of onions, as typi- cal of this kind of work. The ground lies rough and uneven, still showing the spadefuls as turned up in winter. but dry and easily workable with a heavy rake to make the surface level It Is then trodden down to assist toward a firm seed bed; if a small roller is available 1t will consolidate better than the feet. The ground for most seed crops can be hardly too deeply stirred underneath, or made too firm Just on the surface. Small seeds on a loose soil never seem to lay hold

ing a freakish-looking individual attired in huge sombrero, fringed trousers, a serape and wearing pistols and knives galore, is an affabie, neatly, but elegant ly, dressed man of business, who is an adept in sampling fine liquors and throws his money around in lavish style. Of course there are exceptions and there are a good many lesser ranchmen who would be interesting characters to the eff fete customer.
 All ranchmen seem to have plenty of money, and there are quite number who have made fortunes running up Into the millions. It Is great field for pak- ing money and man can start on very little.
 Probably the districts where the most picturesque characters can now be met with are in the Panhandle district of Texas and parts of Arizona and New Mexico along the border and Wyoming. These districts are the last stronghold of the ''bad men" of the west and there are yet quite a number of the species scattered about over this territory.

ship was built at Philadelphia She was wonder in her day. This old Misslsslp- pi was reckoned sixty years ago as the most formidable engine of war upon the ocean, Yet, as compared in size and steam power with the modern Mississip- pi, she was puny craft at best. She was 229 feet long, or less than half the length of the Atlantic Transport liner. and 40 feet wide. She f1oated in 19 feet of water Steam engines on the high seas in 1S40 and thereabouts were still a great deal of an experiment, and the builders of the Mississippi took care to equip her with three lofty masts and a square bark rig, so that she could take care of herself like any ship in an emer- geney. The hull was of wood; the arma- ment few heavy smooth-bore cannon, and the speed attained in a smooth sea was from seven to nine miles an hour.
 This old Mississippi proved to be a re- markedly successful and popular ship She was reckoned a beautiful vessel in her day. She had a succession of good commanders and skllful officers, and she was known as happy ship through out the service. No steamer of the old navy ever made a record comparable with that of the Mississippi.

Building
Complete

The schools of Idaho Springs were
never in better condition, and now that
the new building has been completed the
corp of instructors are feeling in a more
happy mood. The transfer has all been
completed and it is found that the new
building more than answers the pur-
poses for which it was constructed.
The assignment to the teachers and the
moving from one room to another was all
completed this week and everything is
running as smoothly as possible.
The new building with the exception
of one room is used for high school pur-
poses exclusively. 1t was found neces-
sary to assign one room to the eighth
grade, as the class is an exceptionally
large one. The old building is now used
by the grades. and there is no conflict on
account of crowded condition.
The first floor, or the northwest corner,
is where the eighth grade is to be found,
while the southwest corner room is being
used temporarily for biological labora-
tory and drawing room.
Professor Clarke, the superintendent.
has been assigned new office quarters in
the new building and the office formerly
occupied by him in the old building will
be used by the school board.

Marshal O'Rourke is authority for the
statement that the runaways which have
happened so frequently of late is princi-
paly on account of the carlessness of the
owners of the teams. There is city or
diuance providing a penalty for any per-
son who fails to.properly hitch the ami
mails and this ordidance is 70 be rigidly
enforced. While some people claim that
their horses are quiet and will not run
away it is nevertheless fact that if one
animal starts down the street, it is liable
to frighten others and thus cause danger
to life and property. The marshal says
that the owner of any animal or animals
who fails to properly hitch the same,
will be taken before the city magistrate
in the future.

Mrs. Brown.
For some time Mrs. Brown has been in

could do little for her as long as she re-

and when the idea was suggested to her
that it would be best to go to Denver,
she readily assented. On Tuesday of

she left for her new home.
