man can see the end-to which, maybe,
there is no end-and the twenty-five knots
OF the Mauretania and Lusitania are no
more regarded as the ne plus ultra OF
transatlantic speed than is the ..ulli
Secundus Of aerial navigation.
What, for many years must remain the
goal OF marine architects was laid down
more than twenty years ago by one of
the most prominent ship designers Of the
day. Sir William Pearce had just de-
signed the Umoria and Etruria. which
shattered all previous records by crossing
the Atlantic at an average speed of nine
teen knots. and in an address delivered
shortly after to one of the learned socie-
ties of Glasgow he declared that he was
ready, then and there. to produce a vessel
which would accomplish the voyage at
speed OF forty knots. If this could be
done 1t would reduce the Lusitania's time
by 80 per cent
1t is not surprising that Sir William
Pearce's statement was received with
good deal of skepticism. Even in these
DAYS the realization Of such a feat seems
sufficiently far off, and in 1885 twin
screws were only just coming into promi-
nence, while the turbine. for marine pur-.
poses. at all events. was unknown. The
difficulties to be overcome were. there
fore. tremendous. and in order to COM
bine the requisite horse power with
capacity for paying its way an ordi-
nary cargo and passenger ship. it would.
said Sir William. be necessary to give the
vessel length OF 500 feet and a beam of
$50 feet-iust about twice the dimensions
of the Lusitania. The cost of such q ship
would have been fabulous.

CAPE TOWN. January 4;-Cape Town
is busy with the digging-up of bones and
the leveling of tonbs in order that the
old burial grounds of the city may be
given over to the builder and the land
scape gardener. BY the disused GENE
teries appropriation act of last year par
lament decreed that all religious bodies
owning old burial places should arrange
for their use for religious. charitable or
educational purposes. or for open spaces
or gardens. and gave them year in
which to do it. At the same time the
Legislature forbade as sacrilege the play
ing of games or sports on ground which
had once been consecrated. Several of
the churches are taking advantage of the
opportunity given them, and have already
begun to remove their dead. The Dutch
Reformed Church. which has perhaps
more land than any other. had decided to
utilize IL for the building for a parsonage.
The Church of England is going to erect
a place of worship, and the Roman Cath
olics intend to construct a Salesian insti-
tute for destitute boys. The Presbyterian.
Lutheran and Congregational churches
however. are unlikely to take up their
ground within the allotted time and 1t
will probably be laid out by the govern
ment or municipality as public parks.

COL. CLEM's COMMISSION.
How He Happened Not to Be a

From the San Francisco Call.
Col. John L. Glenn. assistant quarter
master general. the Drummer Boy of
Shiloh was among the officers who sue
cessfully passed Roosevelt's fifteen-mile
test of horsemanship at the Preside last
week. Col Glenn does not owe his eques-
trian skill to West Point instruction. Of
which SO many officers boast, and the
reason why he Is not West Pointer Is
worth relating. In the early part OF
Grants first term Glenn obtained an au-
dience with the President.
Mr.. President. he opened the inter
view. Il wish to ask YOU for an order to
admit me to West Point"
why do YOU not take the examina-
tions?" questioned Grant.
Il did. but l failed to pass"
THAT was unfortunate. How did 1t
happen?'
why. you see. was in the war while
those other boys of my age were In
school"
Glenn was barely eighteen them and boy
ish looking even for his years. He had
made his own way to the President. and
had no political sponsors to back him.
What exclaimed the President.
you were in the war;
Yes. / was In the war four years"
and Glenn related his experiences.
Grant wrote something which he handed
to the young applicant. saying:
Take this to the Secretary Of War. /
guess It will fix you all right"
Clem went back to the Secretary of
War. who had before received him 50
coldly as to discourage any one not en-
dowed with unusual grit. and delivered
his note.
The Secretary read it and asked:
do YOU know what this is?'
No" replied Clem II suppose it an
order to admit me to West Point

of the Transvaal Chinese Association and
was accorded an imposing funeral by his
gratf1ed compatriots. That they were
gratified was readily admitted by some OF
the mourners. not because of the death OF
a countryman for he was admittedly very
popular among them. but because they
felt that the Chinese community hSd been
rehabilitated by his generous act of self
sacrifice. Quei-Waei was one of two
Cinnamon who registered at johannes
burg. AS matter of fact he had no legal
right to be in the Transvaal at all, and he
applied for registration in the hope that
by this means he would be allowed to re-
main. He had received receipt showing
that he had applied for registration. and
he fondly hoped that this was his final
certificate. When he discovered. however,
that the document was only a receipt OF
application and that his application had
still to be considered by the registrar of
Asiatics he appears to have come to the
conclusion that he had been duped and
that by applying for registration he had,
in Asiatic parlance ']ost face" This was
borne In upon him by the assurance OF
his compatriots that he would inevitably
be sent back to China. and that as soon
as he arrived there he would lose his
head. So, in order to save his face" he
hanged himself. Thus OF the two China
men who have registered one has gone
away from the district and the other has
committed suicide, which the Chinese de-
scribe as 'velly good indeed.

This was a fresh blow. How could his

died in 1856? She confessed then that
her birth dated back to 1S4S. She was ten
years older than he thought when

There is a curious contrast between the

OF battleship DEVELOPMENT. while the ad-

1900 tons Of the Nile to $1,000 in the
Dreadnought. and from the 14.1OO of the

considering the energy with which i'm

who would say that the highest possible
