expect that exception should be made
of the visit of his imperial highness.
But to attribute it to the so-called
change in American feeling as repre-
sented by some newspapers is entirely
guess from wild Imagination The
princes visit to this country was orig
inally brought into consideration as
long ago as last spring, but as it was
part of its object to see the worlds
fair at st. Louis, it was considered adj
visible to defer it to the autumn, when
the exhibits would be in more COM
plete form for observation, and for
that reason this time was chosen for
his visit. but there is, of course, no
question about the principal object of
his visit being to strengthen thereby

ion as has been reported in some quar-
tiers. ,~>-
His highness will maintain his off,
cial status as imperial prince only at
Washington and St. Louis. but in all
other cities he will travel incognito.
This is~another evidence that he is
not coming here to start BOOM as
has been reported. After his visit to
the fair, where he will be particularly
interested to see the wonderful dds
play of American genius and energy,
he will visit the educational, COM
mercial and industrial centers of this
country, such as Boston, Philadelphia,
New York, Pittsburg, Chicago, etc., to
study the true cause of the greatness
of the United States, and also of the
legitimate interest of this great repub-
lie in the far east"

S New York. Encouraged by his pre-
vous performances. Commander Rob
ert E. =Peary, OF the United States
navy. is now having built new craft
for his final dash for the north pole.
Less than a years time will see this
sturdy vessel headed for the north
land and the region of eternal ice. In
this last and what is to be his. final
effort Commander Peary has united the
fruit Of his own experience in the past
together with the difficulties that have
confronted his rivals in this forbid
ding field OF geographical. research.
This new ship. will be very remarkable
in many ways.
The vessel is technically described as
tthree-masted fore and aft schooner
rugged steam vessel. with auxiliary
sail power, says a writer in the New
York Herald. The foremost and the
mizzenmast will be single sticks of the
best Oregon pine, and the mainmast,

a separate topmast of selected yellow

The ship will be f64 feet long on the
load water line and $50 feet long from
the tip of her stem to the afterside of
her rail. Her maximum beam over her
guard will be nearly IS feet, and when
laden she will draw nearly II feet of
water Her displacement when ready
for sea, and with all coal and stores
aboard, will be quite 1880 tons.
The two big deck houses will pro.
vide quarters for Commander Peary,
the ships officers and the members OF
the scientific staff. These houses will
be of peculiar construction and are de.
designed to be portable. The object
Of this is to facilitate their removal
from ship to shore if emergency de.
mand, where they may be turned into
reasonably comfortable habitations,
susceptible of economical heating and
maintenance. Most of the crew, OF
which there will be about 20, will be
housed on the berth deck.
The keel, stem and sternpost will be
built Of heavy white oak, and over

false keel Of the same material, which
will bear the rub of thick ice and
grounding. The frames will also be
Of white oak and closely spaced. The
deck beams will be Of very thick yel-
low pine, unusually we'll supported and
fastened to the frames by big through
bolts.
Amidships these beams will be sup.
ported right up from the keelson by
steel stanchiQps so arranged that they
may bet set up by bolts to take up any
give" in the structure during the
course of construction. To insure ex-
ceptional stiffness to the hull there
will be heavy yell"w pine diagonal
braces, very securely fastened, at every
frame. While cutting up the space be-
tween decks, this arrangement gives
just that resistance to the pressure of
ice upon the bottom and bilges that
will cause the vessel, like melon seed
pinched between the fingers, to rise
and free itself of the stress.
Above all things i is essential that
the vessel should not leak, and to in
sure this and to take the constant rub
of the ice the hull will be covered with
a double course of five-inch planking.
The inner course will be Of yellow pine
and the outer course, which will be i'm
mediately subjected to wear. will be
of well seasoned white oak. The inner
course will be calked when finished
and made securely water tight. Over
The inner course will then be laid a
sheeting of tarred hemp or tarred can,
vas. After this is thoroughly secured
the outer planking will be laid and
bolted with exceptional strength ia
each frame.

Germany, too, can boast itself the
pioneer in a dental novelty, viz, in
paper teeth, which are constructed
from paper pulp instead of from the
porcelain or other material usually
employed. They are said to have
given satisfaction to such as have
ventured on the use, for not only do
they keep their color we'll but, not be-
ing brittle, are much less liable to
chip than the ordinary false teeth.
They are likewise guaranteed to be
very durable.
