 Mile Run Without Coaling.

Portland. Me, March 4.-The scout cruiser Chester, on her twenty-four- hours endurance and coal-consump- tion run at an average of 22 1-2 knots, which ended to-day, bettered her coal economy requirement. by 5S per cent, steaming 2.75 knots per ton of coal consumed, as against Is0 kno's nam ed in her contract Everything was successful,
 From the showing made on this run it Is computed that the Chester has a steaming radius of 1000 miles at an average speed of g knots, and 14,00O miles at 12 knots, or half speed, with out coaling. This would enable her, if is claimed, to make the trip to the Pacific ocean, without coalng after the start, at a rate two knots in ex- cess of the average speed maintained by Admiral Evans battleship fleet

A Dish of r..

In reference to a note about a ''dish
of tea," 1t may be mentioned that
dish" throughout the eighteenth CEN
tury was a colloQuialism for cup. In
fashionable houses at first, and for
long, tea was drunk from a cup with
out a handle brought from China. The
vessel was termed a dish. When the
Chinese cup was first copied by Eng
Iish potters, the convenience OF a han
die was added. The saucer also was
brought from China. It received the
name because OF Its resemblance to
the English saucer. platter in which
sauce was served. The familiar glbe,
saucer eyes," was originally inspired
by the sauce saucer long before Lord
Arlington gave the first tea party In
England in Arlington House, where
Buckingham palace stands, at the Res
toration period.-London Chronicle.
