Huge Union Depot.

New Orleans June 30:-TeEtative
plans looking to mammoth Uuiou
Depot at New Orleans are being dis
cussed, largely due to the recent az.
ton of the Texas & Pacific railroad
abandoning It's old passenger delo.
and coming IN to the Illinois Contra
Depot in the heart Of the city. The
Illinois Central has bought all i'm
mense area of laud, whole city blocks,
immediately adjacent to Its present
terminals and may eventully get to
Canal Street opposite the Frisco
Southern Station where it would be an
easy matter to connect the two by an
enclosed vi,luct elevated across Canal
Street. Three other lines now come
nto the Illinois CentraI-the Yazoo &
Mississippi ValIeJ, Southern Pacific
and Texas & Pacific while four like
wise enter the Terminal Statlon-the
Frisco-Colorado Southern. New Dr.
leans & Northeastern, New Orleans
oiSaG 4Np tHCtb anu LouISidU0 lIall-
way and Navigation Company. This
leaves the Louisville q Nashville the
"ny line operating into AL individual
depot. i
The change of the Texas & Pacific
was a matter of considerable moment,
due TO the inaccessible and dangerous
location of its old depot on the liver
'front.' where many hoId-ups and muir
derous assaults have been committed. |
After fight of over a year before
The State Railroad Commission, the
Union of New Orleans
finally secured an order directing the
Texas & Pacific to build new depo,.
A compromise Was agreed to, permit
ing the Texas & Pacific to 90 into
,h- Illinois Central Depot, which is
an even more satisfactory
arrangement than building new de
DOT, as the Texas & Pacific had no
,ther than the former river front site.

NAUTICAL SLANG.
iiany Phrases Imbedded In English
Popular Speech.

tiany Phrases lm0eooeo IN En0HSf
! Popular Speech.
Talking of slang, has any one
sver made a list Of the nautical
! ,lang imbedded in English popular
speech? Most people who speak Of
a person carrying on" would be
surprised to learn that they are
using nautical metaphor. To carry
; on is literally to carry a great deal
of sail, generally too much for the
weather conditions-that is, to be-
have in more or less sensational
and foolish manner. To say that
one is "taken aback is metaphor
from the management of a square
rugged ship, which is 1.taken aback"
when, through carelessness or i'll
luck, the wind gets round to the
wrong side of the sails-an awkward
and perhaps dangerous accident. To
give anything "a wide BERTH is sail
or's slang, It means literally to give
a ing-probably rock or other
dangers wide bed to lie in. We
speak of sounding" person with
reference to some proposal. The
metaphor is that Of a navigator find
inE.his way cautiously by trying the
depths, Ay, in approaching an M
familiar shore. "Landmark" is not
at all a nautical looking word, but it
is strictly mark on land-a tower,
building or ether prominent object
which serves to guide the mariner
clear Of rocks and shoals into port.
More obviously nautical, but prob
ably equally vaguely understood, are
such phrases as sailing close to the
wind, " 3elook out for squalls, y keep
ones weather eye open" take the
wind out of ones sails" 3ssee wheth-
er the coast is clear" To sail close
to the wind is to try to keep directly
on ones course when tacking is al
most necessary and SO to run risk
of being taken aback.. To keep ones
weather eye open is to keep sharp
lookout on the weather side of the |
ship THAT is, to windward, where
the weather comes FROM for the |
signs which mark the approach Of |
squalls. To take the wind out of
another boats sails is to overhaul |
her presumably in racing) and pass
to windward, thus cutting off her
wind for the time being. To see
whether the coast is clear is to find
put whether it is free from outlying
hangers, such as rocks and shoals or
rom enemies in naval war or snug
cling. Finally we have one or two
hipbuilding metaphors. We speak
# having a piece of work con the
tocks, = stocks being the frame of

Clocks.

Il is not generally appreciated
that clocks of the present type, al
though used as far back as the
twelfth century and possibly earlier,
were but fair timekeepers until sew
eral centuries later. In fact, it has
been only within recent years that
really accurate clocks have been
manufactured. Those which the as
tronomers used in their observa-
tions at the end of the fifteenth cen
fury were SO unreliable that modi-
fed forms of the water clocks of the
ancients were often employed as
checks upon them. Galileis discov-
cry OF the isochronism of the pendu-
lam from the swinging chandelier
in the church of Pisa was of great
value in its application to the meas
urement of time. The inventions of
the mercurial and compromising
pendulums have aided materially in
cutting down the errors of the run
ming rate and controlling the mo-
tons of clock mechanism.-New
