Glant Ocean Iiners

The White Star liners now under
way will not be quite so large as was
commonly supposed, although they
will yet be considerably larger than
the Mauretania and Lusitania. They
will measure $50 feet between perpen-
diculars and 800 feet over ALL The
beam will be 80 feet and they will
have nodded depth of Ga feet, which
is four feet more than the depth of
the Mauretania. A notable feature
of the construction of these boats will
be the power equipment. which will
consist OF two engines of $4,000 horse
power driving the wing propellers and
a 10000 horse power turbine driving
the central propeller This combin-
alton will be sufficient to drive the
ships at sea speed of 1875 knots.

The Inventor Of Ice Cream,

Dolly Madison was famous for her
beauty, grace and social charm, but
she has never been given due credit
for her greatest achievement-the in
vention of ice cream. For the chron
iclers tell us that she was the first to
serve this national delicacy. The wife
of the president must have been q
wonderful woman, gifted in every
thing from diplomacy to cooking
The men have long suspected that
some woman invented both ice cream
and matrimony, for men OF genera
tons have been inveigled into both
Let a boy and a girl go out walking
Just anywhere, and suddenly the boy
will find himself face to face with a
soda fountain or an ice cream parlor
It's just like a man who starts along
counting aimlessly who suddenly finds
himself engaged. He doesn't under
stand just how it happened. But he
usually marches up bravely and finds
that he enjoys both matrimony and

CALLS OXYGEN USELESS
Professor says Old Theory 10 WRONG
and Carbon DloxIde 10
Not Fatal

Minneapolis.-D. ID. Mayne, princl-
pal OF Minnesota school OF agriculture,
announced the result OF an experiment
which he believes has exploded the
old theory that oxygen was essential
TO life and that death would result
from breathing carbon dioxide.
To demonstrate this theory. Prof.
Mayne confined steer in a hermetio-
ally sealed stall and another In an
open stall. The first animal was shut
II from oxygen completely and at the
end OF several days was found to be
In as good condition as the other. The
experiment was repeated, the steers
exchanging stalls. The result was the
Same-both animals could live in the
hermetically sealed stall without oxy-
gen and neither suffered poisoning
from carbon dioxlde thrown out OF
their lungs.
The school ventllating system is
unnecessary" asserted Prof. Wayne.

Hard Times in oermanv

Supplementing frequent reports of
hard times in Germany are confirma-
tory census figures for that country
which indicate that the large cities
are falling off in population. Berlin,
for example, which grew very rapidly
In prosperous times, contained 2,106,.
942 souls at the close Of 19OS,-a fall
ing off of 4.419 in one year. Emigra-
ton is largely responsible for the de-
crease, and emigration is due to the
hard times and tn military laws of
the country. In March, 1908, more
than 10000 persons left the German
capital for other countries, most of
them going to America.
