ELECTRICITY ON ATLANTIC LINER.
The Subtle Fluid Now Plays an Impor-

Although much has from time to time
been written about the Mauretania com

ship, says New York World.
Apart from the U,OOU-horsepOwer If
the turbines which propel the ship
through the water the electrical power,
which is supplied by four generators,
represent an additional 2l4-horsepower.
Electricity is used not only for iiluml-
mating the ship at night but for multi
tude of other purposes, such as operating
the lifts, of which there are two for
passengers use, eight for baggage and
mails and two smaller ones in the pan.

Wlnches are also provided. and $500 cleo
trlc lamps give the enormous total Of
over 100000 candlepower. For heating
the hrst class quarters sixty electric
radiators have been fitted, to say nothing
OF some forty-tbree heaters in the bath
rooms.
Numerous electric fans are used Tor
fenlllallng the various rooms and are
:" arranged that they can supply either
warm or cool air according to Tie
weather

frontage o. about 60 feet, and includes
Il rooster with four vertical spits ro-
tatcd by an electrical motor, these spi's
being capable of dealing with half a to l
OF meat at Il time. There is also 4
smaller T"aster with three spits, drivcn
in the same manner. In the bakery cleo
trlclty is employed TO operate a large
dough making machine, capable of max
ing bread for at least 5000 persons.

New Playing Cards.

Ordinary cards have hitherto been
used in the most republican countries in
the world, but without any violence TO
their feelings. Now, however, republic
an cards have been provided for France.
They are due to the enterprise of a citi-
zen of Rouen. and the dealers are exhib-
iting them in Paris. Instead of the
kings. portraits of republican presidents
are used, while instead of the queens
there are portraits of Joan of Arc. Char
lotte Corday and Nine. Roland. and Vol

cranky let them he cranky still.
Owing to sickness and bad weather,
the Union did not meet last week, but
will meet this week with Wesley Moore.
