MOST PERFECT KITCHENS.
Those in Ocean Liners Are Models OF
NeatneSs and Order.

The most perfect kitchens in the world,
not only in point Of neatness, orderliness
and economy of space, but also in the
mechanical apparatus employed. are
those of the big ocean liners The de,
gree IN which exact and labar-Savine
machinery is employed is Il revelation to
tho moS( progressive ho seville with the
most perfectly appointed home ON land.
In the galley of the Oceanic for eX-
ample, there is Il clever device for boil
ing eggs. consisting of compartment
for boiling water with an electrical at
tachment by means of which the cook
regulates the length Of time the eggs
shall remain in the water. At the eX-
plration of the time for which the in
dictator is set, an automatic mechanism
lifts out the wire basket containing the
eggs and deposits it on a table. An
electric motor turns the spit on which
joints are roasted and mechanical az
taChments regulate the temperature of
the various ovens, keeping the heat al
ways uniform. On the Baltic. the iarg
est ocean vessel ever built. which makes
her maiden voyage IN June, there are
several new electrical devices i'll addition
to these. Electric fans keep the air fresh
and pure; and electrically driven re-
frigerating plant co0lS the storage rooms
and manufactures ice, and even electric
chatting dishes are provided for serving
special dishes in the Etaterooms.
The modern ocean liner is often called
Il floating hotel and in fact in its re-
sources. the variety of it's foods and the
style III which it is furnished the big
ship is fully the equal of the most lux
urious land establishments. But the
TASKS imposed on the ocean kitchen are
even more difficult in many respects than
those set before the short hotel cuisine.
In the first place, most persons eat much
more at sea than they do on shore, after
inhaling the salt breezes on deck for Il
day they find themselves possessed of
most astonishing appctiteS. The man
who in his routine life on land satisfies
himself with rolls and coffee fol- break
fast. nheSitatingly orders fruit break
fast food. ham and eggs. beefStcak, grid
die cakes. toast. jam and perhaps three
or four other dishes when he is afloat.
At home lie would never think of eating
between breakfast and luncheon. but at
sea he is delighted 10 see the deck stew
ards distributing the II o'clock bouillon.
j heavy luncheon in nowise iucapacitates
him for enjoying afternoon tea, and after
the long-course dinner it is more than
likely that before 10 o'clock he will be
found again i'll the saloon ordering n
"arCbit ca some other appctiZing dish.
Six meals a day sounds pUepostCrJuS "a
the average American. but an ocean voy-
age changes the point of view most de-
Ci1edly and one comes TO accept them on
shipboard as quite the regulation thing
Not only must this large number Of
meals he cooked and served hut each of
them must he prepared separately for
the first cabin. second cabin and third
class passenger and for the crew. 50 the
daily routine of work in the steamships
kitchen comprises twenty or more meals
every twenty-fom hours.-Thc Pilgrim

Engineers Cab in Front.

In the Henschel high-speed steam loco
motive recently tested on the German
military railway between Marienfclde
and Zozzen, the engineers cab is placed
directly at the front, so as to give him
an un0bStructed view of the track. That
this innovation should be adopted gen
orally for hish-speed locomotives is now
being urged by some engineers on the
ground that it would diminish the num-
Ter of accidents from rear-end collisions
ana from striking distinctions on the
track. In French hgh-speed locomo-
tive exhibited at the Paris exposition II
1900 the cab was similarly placed, and
there are few if any difficulties involved
in locating the engineer with his con
trolling apparatus in such position
