swim Ocean Travel.

The new record made by the Gu
harder Lusltania in crossing the ocean
in Ave days sets the inventors to work
TO do better. Experts believe that
there ID chance to improve upon the
steam turbine, which Is responsible for
the LusitanIa's triumph. II seems
that there IA more energy In the steam
turbine than man II able to utilize In
the present state Of experience. II is
possible for the steam turbine to make
the propeller reyolye at such speed
that Il viii not push the ship The
perfect motor win be one which APP
piles all the energy OF the fuel to NOV
lng Of the load.
One advantage claimed for the tur-
bine IL that Il reduces the vibration Of
the ship and the consequent friction
which impedes progress. An inventor
comes into the field with a ship built

Ger and also to be less sensitive 70 vi

form Of a scow and Is intended to

water. The structure rests ON planes

screw puiler instead OF being pushed
By q screw propeller Thirty hours

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Hudson River Bridge to Be an Elk.
traordinary Structure.

Hudson River Bridge to Be an Elk.
traordinary Structure.
The magnitude Of the projected Hud-
son river bridge does not at first strike
the unthlnking person, but when 1t
does strike It comes with breathless,
aerial Significance. 1t will be the
eighth wonder of the world. and the
eyes Of foreign engineers are turned to
New York with expectancy.
The plans OF the new structure are
practically those Of the original North
river project 1t was long step from
100 foot span Chen and still the
longest In the world to over 1900 feet.
the distance to be covered between the
piers on either side Of the broad Hud-
son. TO make a bridge almost double
the length of the Brooklyn bridge
meant building the towers nearly twice
as high, and In order to allow for addi-
tional roadways and tracks the bridge
Of double length must he also twice as
wide. Thus the proposition involved
was really very much more than build
ing bridge with a double length span,
for three dimensions had to be con-
sidered. making the entire structure
nearly eight times as large as the
Brooklyn bridge
At first other engineers were loath
to believe that modern materials made
possible so great a bridge But the en-
tire profession is now agreed that the
bridge is possible and practicable, and
their estimates of construction cost
vary between $35,000.OO0 and $4,000
600, depending upon the number Of
tracks and the carrying capacity desig-
mated. These figures do not include the
cost OF approaches or right of way.
1t is an astonishing feat that is con-
templated, this Of suspending between
steel towers distant more than half a
mile eight great railway tracks and
four driveways, says Charles III. Cocb-
rane In the New Broadway Magazine.
AS triumph of engineering the work
Will have no equal. There will be four
stupendous towers at the piers, each
suggesting in appearance the celebrat-
ed Eiffel tower. These four towers
will be about 800 feet from the foun-
dalton stones to top. They will carry
the eight mammoth steel cables that
viii curve gracefully across the noble
| Hudson and support the two deck steel
truss bridge 40 feet wide, capable OF
transporting 100000 persons in one
hour without undue crowding.

facts of life early before the minds
of children and that as a result there

Not long ago l heard two girls OF six
and seven talking ON n country road.
They were children whose parents
We're amply able to give them what
ever they thought best for them to
have. The flrst child said: "How can
we make some money? 1 tell you
what, Mary, we must sell your radlshes
as soon as they are ripe" Mary an
swered sadly: Il wish Aunt Susan
We're here, She buys radishes like the
dickens" Now, these children at this
early age We're discontinued with their
weekly allowance and, finding that
they could not get more from their par
ents, decided to sell to the neighbors,
and their parents. wishing them to de-
velop themselves and to learn by ex-
perlence, did not prevent their doing
so.-Loulsa McCrady in Atlantic.

their father, but they are only to enteI

their parents in return will call on
them.
The bungalow Is to be equipped with
movable hunks and with lockers,
where the boys will keep their guns,
baseball bats, tennis rackets and other
things which they formerly left about
the house, says the New York Times.
There is only one room, but that Ia to
be divided into number Of smaller
ones by sliding screens. In winter
they will get their heat from big
stove, which they must look after
themselves.
In fact, they are TO do all the house
work. They are to make their own

that in this way he believes they will

spirit of self reliance such as no other
