The Sneed of Steamships

The immense advances recently
made in the power and speed OF
transatlantic steamships have moi
yet IN the opinion Of Mr.. J. J. O'Neil
a Scotch engineer, been carried to
the Limit. Addressing the Institu.
ton Of Engineers and Shipbuilt ars
n Scotland, Mr.. O'Neil said that tho
'engths Of the present liners warrant
the belief that greater power can bG
obtained with tie same dimensions.
the present speeds with shorter
lengths Investigation shows that
the variations of form involve rela
lively small gains, and Mr. O'Nei
thinks that II the same attention haG
been devoted to the development o.

FIFTY DOLLARS
 TO BE PRESENTED

London, June 1S.--The cost of being pre- court of St. James ranges from $50 to $S000
 The average cost of a presentation outfit varies from 5000 to $1250 But the girl who has to practice economy need not worry on the score of expense, for it is well understood that while some wealthy women may expend thousands of dollars cn their presentation, girls of humble means can be presented for less than $200
 In the latter case the woman borrows her court train from one of the West End Americans who are presented usually do Many noble women of limited means have done this and perfect dream of a train" be hired for $15. The allowance for a court costume in this case would be from $50 to S60; the petticoat and undercloth- ing, corsets, silk stockings, satin shoes, veil, feathers cloaks, gloves, bouquets and lace handkerchief would require an- other $75, and the halrdresser, manicurist and face masseuse would cost another S5 Total, si55. This is about the cheapest presentation dress and toilet possible ZAmericans who are presented usually do not have to deal with such sordid details as cost. They are generally daughters or wives of men of wealth and the presenta- tion being an affair of once in a lifetime the thought of cost takes wing

MUSICAL NOTES.
BY MARIA DE VAN HURLEY.

One of the most stupendous successes for years in the operatic field is ''The Merry Widow" the operatc triumph of two continents. It has set the whole world to singing, whistling and dancing, from the palaces of kings to the little street urchin. Teeming with most tune full melodies, and bearing the stamp of good music, it appeals to both artist and layman.
 .The Merry Widow has met with the hearty approval of some of the most able composers and most skillful playwrights. The Beggar Student ''The Black Illus sar," and ",rhe Merry War It is also similar in type to De Kovens own Robin Hood"
 Very elaborate plans are being made for the presentation of the opera next season, and rumor is to the effect that four or five road companies will be sent out from New York and "The Merry Widow" the opera) will be seen and heard for the first time in the south.
 The story deals with the love of T prince an attache of the Muscovian en- bassy in Paris, for a peasant girl or Muscovia, an imaginary province in the Balkans The princes love is deeply reciprooated by the girl he so much loves. but whom he is commanded to desert by his uncle. She afterwards marries very wealthy man who lives but short time, and she is left a wealthy widow.
 The first act begins with her again meeting fhe prince in the Muscovian em- bassy in Paris-for the first time since he deserted her.

LEACHES FORETELL
 THE WEATHER

Potsdam, June 13-A visitor to the Neues Palais saw on the Kaisers desk bottle containing three leeches and made bold to ask their uses Why" replied the emperor, they are my weather prophets none better in the world'
 The visitor confessed that it was al ways Kaiser weather" that is, fine and dry, when his majesty ventured out on some public occasion.
 That is because l never go out unless I am sure it will be fine weather and my leeches never deceive me-" said the emperor Here you see them stretched out on the bottom of the bottle. That means at this season of the year that we will have at least "A hours more of bright and beautiful weather If the leeches go to the bottom in winter time, you may be sure that the weather will be cold, but dry.
 When we are going to have rain in summer, or snow in winter, the leeches signal the fact from "A to 4S hours ahead by mounting to the neck of the bottle and breathing the air coming through the holes in the cover.
 'Wind is fatal to a successful military review. I therefore study my leeches be- fore ordering one. When the leech swims quickly through the water, there will be q wind storm. My leeches also prophecy thunder storms If one is near. they crawl up the neck of bottle, out of the water and move quickly and spasmodcally."
 The Kaiser keeps his weather prophets in ordinary milk bottle, covered by a piece of bladder, in which holes are drilled with a pin. The bottom of the bottle is covered with white sand and p1Oss

 Franz Lehor, the writer and composer, is the son of an army musician, and native of Austria Hungary. Like most men who achieve fame for themselves he has undergone many great hardshfps As a boy he dubbed himself "the knapsack child" from the fact that to him a real home was unknown and during his stu- dent life it very often happened that he tainted in the street from hunger.
 It is to D'varalk, the great Bohemian composer that Franz Lehar attributes his success. Lehar had been a violin stu dent, but needing D'vorak's advice, he abandoned his violin for composition and composed many songs and two light op- eras None of these, however, met with public favor. Lehar despaired of suc- cess in the field of composition and be- came conductor of an orchestra at Triest. His own musical inclination, together with the advice of D'vorak, inspired him to again make an effort which has re- suited in one of the worlds greatest successes.
 Lehar is now working on new opera, "Viia-the Maid of the Forest" and may 1t win for him the laurels as has the tune- full Merry Widow"
