Talk Will Not Make Roads.

THE BUILDING OF BIG SHIPS.
Indication That We Have About
Reached Limit for Present Time,

Indication That We Have About
Reached Limit for Present Time.
1t is much discussed question
where the building of bigger ships is
to end Various authorities in en-
cheering have attempted to predict
the future rate of progress in marine
construction, and the fact that at
single stroke 5000 tons have been
added to the size Of the record YES
sci will doubtless be made much of
Nevertheless, there is much reason
to believe that we are near the limit
in size of ships, for the present ait
least, and there may even be a re-
action. The size Of ships is govern
ed by the depth of the channel en-
frances to seaports, and these latest
huge vessels draw so much water
That they can only enter a few ports
and at only a very few can cargo or
passengers sufficient to fill them be
secured.
Besides this, it will readily be con-
coded that the reason why bigger
and bigger ships have been built is
purely a commercial one. The ques-
ton: "Will it pay?" is the question
to be answered in determining wheth-
er the size of ships is to go on in
creasing, and if so to what extent. 1t
will be readily granted that a ship of
10000 tons can be operated more
cheaply per ton of freight carried
than one of 900 tons, provided the
volume of traffic is sufficient to keep
her employed, and provided, also, that
cargo-handling appliances are such as
to keep down delays in port. But
granting this, it will readily be seen
that there is not like saving to be
made in again doubling the size and
going from 10000 to 10000 tons.
Perhaps under certain circumstances
the 200,000-ton vessel may be worth
while, but even if this is the case it
does not follow that a still bigger
vessel would be still more profitable.
1t must be remembered that these
very large vessels cost considerably
more to build per ton of freight ca.
pacity than vessels of modern size.-

My tears had paade the pillows wet.

But only as my little child

Lest the mothers place be lost

Last night the air was mild;
The moon rose clear though late,
And somehow then it did not seem
So very hard to wait.
There seemed so much to learn,
So much for me to do,
Before my lessons here were done
And l was ready, too.

Their loved ones here below;
For me, do not now believe,
do not hope-I know.

AFRAID OF A MOTH.
The Kaffirs' Terror of Strange South
African Moth.

The hafnfS' Terror OF strange SOuCn
African Moth.
A South African agricultural journal
Of a recent issue views with alarm che
circulation Of stories by the Kaffirs
about the deaths head moth. This
animal does not occur in the United
States, but is very near akin to the
hawk moth seen rapidly flying around
the electric lights. The deaths head
moth is Of large size, and Of black and
orange color, but the most peculiar
feature, and that from which it takes
it's name, is the striking resemblance
to a human skull seen beneath its
wings. The long, soft hair witt which
it is covered permits this feature to
frequently change expression. Another
popularity, and one rarely possessed
by moths, Is the possibility Of emit
ting a plaintive, mouse-like squeak
when disturbed.
The deaths head moth might be said
to have sweet tooth, were it pos
sessed of any "dents," for it frequents
the hives Of the domestic honey bee,
and, with abnormally long proboscis,
feeds on the luscious saccharine con-
tents Of the hives. It's thick covering
Of hair permits it to commit these
depredations with impunity, as it is
thereby given immunity from the bees
sting.
The Kafffrs have told the immigrants
who are flocking to South Africa that
the presence of the deaths head moth
in their beehives Is a positive omen
Of death and misfortune, and that if
they should dislodge it from its depre-
dations amid bees they say it will
sting with its long, prehensile tongue,
causing instant death. OF course, the
poor deaths head moth is utterly guilt
less Of any worse crime than differing
honey, and could not possibly sting, yet
so great is the superstition Of the low
classs emigrants with which England
is flooding South Africa that the grue-
some tales Of the Kaffirs fall upon re-
ceptive ears 1t must be admitted that
circumstantial evidence is against the
moth, with it's gruesome mark, long,
prehensile tongue and it's immunity
from the sting of bees, coupled with
it's uncanny volce.-Philadelp Rec,

Wide Urea and Good Roads.


In France, every freighting and
market cart, instead of injuring the
highway, improves it. Many of the
tires are ten inches wide. In the four
wheeled vehicles in that country the
rear axle is fourteen inches longer
than the fore, and as result the rear
wheels run In line about an inch
outside the level rolled by the front
Wheel After a few loaded wagons
have passed over "a road the highway
looks as if a steam roller has been at
work. A national law Of Germany pre-
scribes that wagons heavily loaded
must have tires not less than four
inches wide. In Austria the minimum
for similar vehicles is six and one
half inches; in Switzerland, six inches.
In a number of the American States
laws have been passed granting re-
bate Of highway taxes to citizens who
use lumber wagons with tires not less
than three inches wide On toll roads
in Kentucky and several other States
farmers hauling loads in wide-tired
wagons are entitled to lower rates
than those paid by the owners of mar
