1t Is we'll known that turbine engines
at much lower power than that for
which they are designed are not so
economical as ordinary engines. Up
to the highest speed at which the
King Edward had been driven they
found an always increasingly favor
able consumption of coal In relation to
the speed of the vessel, but the design
ers had no means for knowing how far
this tendency might reach.
However, 1t was ascertained that It
would have been necessary to reduce
her speed to between seventeen and
eighteen knots, as on trial before ordi.
nary engines, under the same condi-
tons and the same speed, would burn
less per knot of speed, this seventeen
or eighteen knots speed corresponding
to about fifty per cent of the total
maximum power Of the turbine en-
gines in the King Edward
The turbine steamer King Edward
is, according to Capt. Williamson, the
largest vessel ever built for passenger
traffic on the Clyde. This steamship
has developed traffic beyond the ex-
pectations of her builder, and it Is eY-
pected that the Queen Alexandra will
greatly add to these developments.
If the Queen Alexandra turned out TO
be as successful as the King Edward
has proven, 1t Is certain that the doom
of the reciprocating engine for ma
rine purposes is sealed forever, and
this, Of course, means nothing less
than gigantic impetus for turbine
machinery.
Charles A. Parsons, the inventor of
| the turbines used In these new type
of vessels, has given some interesting
| data relating TO the economy of tur.
! bines at low powers. AS remarked
above, in this the reciprocating en-
| CINE has its sole advantage-it may
run as slowly as desired, with a min
imum sacrifice of economy. The
Clyde steamships for carrying pas
sengers are always run at or near full
power, and so there Is no need Il
study the question of economy at low
powers, but when their application
was considered in reference TO wa
vessels, most of whose service wa,
performed at 1ruising speed, wher
the power eXrrted was perhaps onl,
one-tenth of that at full speed, thel
this question of economy at lowe
powers became one of vital import
aDce.

THE HARDNESS OF TREES.
Said to Depend Largely on Where
Seeds Come From.

oceuS Tome from.
An expert nurseryman says the
hardness or nonhardiness of trees de-
Ponds largely upon where the seeds
from which the trees in question
sprang came from. Satisfactory re.
suits are seldom experienced by
planting a seed obtained from the
Sunny South, say. BY planting seeds
gradually further north, however,
trees may be at length hardened and
acclimated until seed from such a
tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive and mature its fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their
habits from the climate in which they
live. The northern tree knows in.
stinctively when the time has come
to ripen its fruit The southern tree
follows the same instinct, being in no
hurry, as there is little likelihood of
real cold. With transplantings further
north its habits changes.
The great trouble with most people
Is that they want to Jump a tree
from South to North at one move.
This same idea Is evident in the at.
tempt TO bring various fruit trees
from Russia to the northern United
States.
Apples and plums from the land OF
the Great White Car have taken

her offense by remaining sober for

considered as purged, and, if she chose
to leave then, | should be bound to
give her character saying she had

Every mistress knows that when any
thing is missing 1t is said to have been
broken "a long time ago." and, unless
some servant has left, it is impossible
to discover who was the delinquent,
more especially as nobody is respon-
sible. Another thing which is in the
experience of all housewives is that
there is such a thing as wilful de-
struction, or what appears to be re-
markably like it. The knowledge of
this only comes when you engage a
new servant. The morning after her
arrival she invariably reports, If she
is cook, that there is nothing in

everything appertaining to kitchen
utensils have to be replaced. II it Is
a housemaid, she demonstrates that
there are no brushes, that the handle
of the dust-pan is broken, that all the
backing is used up, and the busters
are mass of holes. II it Is a parlor-
maid, there are no cups, tumblers, or
| glass-cloths, and she says she finds
| all the tablecloths and napkins are in
a very bad way. Whenever this hap

do women fail as employers of labor?
First. because they do not know; Sec
~ondly. because they are too lazy to
learn. Women have succeeded, of
course, but only where they are
thrown on their own resources.
The absolute chaotic state Of the
servant question is due to generations
of women who have let things slide.
The sooner they return to first prin-
ciples, the better. What are these
principles? Go and see how your
father, your brother, or your husband
manages his business. You will find
that 1t is on pret isely the same prin-
ciples that men have managed their
business for generations. Why is do
mestic service the only profession or
trade In the world which is over
stocked and detested? Simply be-
cause 1t Is the only one over which
women preside, and the only one
which is villainously mismanaged, to
the disadvantage of the mistress and
the servant alike. The cause for this
is not far to seek. Domestic service
is the only labor in the world where
the duties and obligations of the en-
ploye and employer are not definitely
defined. The result Is constant fric-
ton
There is but one remedy. There

cry. Superficial tests have been made
between the Duchess Of Hamilton, a
boat having compound engines. and
the turbine steamer King Edward
From comparison It has been found
that the Duchess of Hamilton burned
sixteen tons of coal with a speed OF
sixteen and half knots an hour. The
King Edward made eighteen and a
half knots and consumed eighteen tons
of coal.
The Duchess of Hamilton, however
had only compound engines. By the
use of triple engines her consumption
could have been reduced, but ever
with triple engines If she were to be
driven at eighteen and half knots
on service her consumption would
have been over twenty-five tons. a'
against eighteen tons in the King Ed
ward. which corresponds to a savini
of about twenty per cent in favor o
the latter.
There is another question regard

respects the two steamships would
have to be practically alike.
These specific requirements were
due to the fact that with steamships
there is no measurable amount of
work done, as there is In generating

The commissioners were enabled to

showed that servants are what
their mistresses make them. Let us
see why mistresscs make bad serv-
ants. To do this, we must get back
to the purely business side of life.
Here women are again at fault. In
every business in the world which is
managed by men. and where novices
are employed, they are taken as ap-
prentices and are taught their trade.
IL is owing to the lax way in which
women do their work that all serv-
ants are more or less amateurs, in
the sense that they are incompetent,
: or, at least. not qualified. I do not
suppose that there is single servant
in your employ, fair reader, who could
tell you how she acquired the rudi-
mcnts, to say nothing of the finesse,
OF her trade.
The result is, almost invariably, the
disaster which follows the blind lead
ing, or driving, the blind. It may be
said that | am not quite fair in judg.
ing mistresses entirely from the point
of view of professional men. Let me,
therefore, take another example,
which is rather of the accidental or.
der of profession, and has TO do with
the lighter side of life. Take man
whom fortune, or misfortune, makes a
theatrical manager. To be successful
he must acquire a knowledge of many
things. He has to learn something
of literature, something of music,
something of painting, something of
dresses, something of carpentry, me-
-chanics, finance, acting and many 9TH
or things, and not only learn them in
a general way, but must know eX.
actly how much every little item costs
the price of canvas, nails, wood, glue
needles. silk, printing, etc, etc. That
all managers know all these things
am not prepared to admit, but it is
quite clear that the man who does not
know them invariably fails in the long
run, even though he is prepared to
employ people who do.
This is only an illustration. Let us
get back to the subject itself. Why
