Greatest Liner Afloat

Belfast ireland, Oct. 90 The
White Star lines giant steamer
Olympic was launched successful
ly today. Thousands of spectators
watched the monster ship glide
swiftly down ways. The Olympic
is the largest steamer nov afIoat,
being 1872 1-2 feet in length.
The Olympic exceeds by nearly
100 feet In length and $4,000 tons
any other ship afloat. The gigan-
tic measurements of this vessel are
best appreciated when it is known
that in length the Olympic over
tops the height OF the Metropoli-
tan tower in New York by 1872 feet
is twice aB long as the height OF
the dome of st. Peters at Rome,
and equals in length the total
drop of the famous Bridal Veil
fall in the Yosemite valley. II
the Olympic and her sister vessel
I itamic soon to be launched, were
placed end to end under the Erook
lyn Bridge they would complete
ly block the East River and extend
over the shore 100 feet on teach
side. It 10 also interesting toEaote
that the length of each of these
ships is four times the height of
Bunker Hill Monument.
These monsters OF the deep will
each accommodate $500 passengers
carrying a crew Of 800, and be-
cause of the enormous size OF the
ships and accommodations, both as
regards the public apartments and
the passenger staterooms, will be
exceptionally spacious, while, the
beauty and luxury of the appoint
ments will surpass anythingaiith-
erto attempted. Special ATTRACT
tons such as Turkish and electric
bath establishments, swimming
pools, tennis courts, sun parIors,
sport decks and palm court will be
provided in addition to restaurants
dining saloons, lounges, smoking
eHShNsoi |CfdtOIb ctC.J dE Oh
which'wii add much to the pleas
ure OF, aVoyage on these marvels
of marine achievement.
The Olympic will be propelled
by a irhi1ue combination Off re-
ciproeating engines with ia low
pressure turbine, such as the
White Star line has employed SO
successive. ON it's Canadian SER
vice sdesmer Laurentic. BY this
ingenious system vibration is
eliminated and malde-mer COM
quered. A speed of % knots per
hour wfi be maintained.
The Olympic will join the White
Star linea mail service .betReen
New Yolls, Plymouth, Cherbourg
and Southampton next summer,
followed by the Titanic in early
fall. .,9

LOOK FOR WHISPERS.
Those Searching Heavens for
Halley's Comet Can Easily
Discern It.

Halley's comet, tail and all, i;
now within the range of the
naked eye. If you were up at 3 :4C
"a. m. and happened to observe
two stars where apparently there
should be but one, there was nc
occasion for misgivings. The
other one was Halley's.
The best time to observe the
conret without instruments is be-
tween 3:45 a. m. and 4:05 a. m.
1t should be easy to find tomor-
row morning. If you care to ex-
pertinent, here is the advice
Look straight east and then just
little to the north at 3 As o.
clock. You will find a star there
which looks like any other star
until you have concentrated your
gaze long enough to tell the dif-
ference. The difference is the
"whiskers."
Venus rises fifteen minutes be-
fore the comet does" This is a
sort of curtain raiser for the real
performance, for if the observer
is watching Venus, all he needs
to do is to count off fifteen
minutes and then look around for
the comet. Venus rises 6 degrees
south of east. The comet is near
ly 8 degrees north OF east. There
is, therefore, "a difference of ap-
proximately IA degrees between
Venus and Halley's celestial
tramp. The comet today is max
ing about 1866 miles a minute.

when it faedS for apheliOn, ac-
cording to astronomers, which
means farthest from the sun.
When it pulls up at aphelion,
turns and starts back, it will be
