There will be a choice of dining rooms for those who do not care for the main dining salon; there will be Ritz-Carlton restaurant. a grill room, tea garden and even a rathskeller Spacious palm gardens, which in winter may be converted into sun parlors, will occupy the up per deck.

 A special squash court will be built in connection with the gymnasium. Nearby will be found large swim ming pool and completely equipped Turkish and Roman baths presided over by skillful attendants.
 The Europa will be ventilated thor oughly by a new system. She has no ventilators rising above her decks, which is so familiar feature of ocean liners. and her long, unbroken deck incidentally gives her very trim and shipshape appearance. Air will be forced to the lowermost decks by the great ship will thus be supplied with currents of pure air to the prop CT temperature. This system insures pure air and equitable temperature throughout the ship.
 The most powerful telegraph ap- paratus ever carried to sea will be set up on the Europa. The unusual height of her masts will make it pos sible to transmit or receive messages over the entire width of the Atlantic ocean, so that the Europa will always be in direct communication with land.

 American Money in Railroads.
 Tourists are surprised to learn that they can ride from end to end of Mexico without being inconvenienced bv their ignorance of Spanish. The Pullman car conductors are Ameri- cans. and so are many of the railroad conductors, brakemen and engine driv- CTS. The new merger of the Mexican National railways represents some American capital as well as strong leaven of American officials.
 The American investment is essen tiaIly American railroads is a heavy one. Yet our railroad investments are only a small part of the American in- terests in Mexico. Probably the great or mart of the total of $4OO,OOO, ,OOO has gone into mining and the industries al lied with mining. Mexicos produc- tion of gold last year was $22, ,440,000, limited States currency, and of silver s35.4OO 900. Americas share of this was not far from one-half
 In 1875 Mexico was lighted by tallow candles. Neither gas nor electric light had been introduced and there was hardly a pint of kerosene in the republic. A well-established American company began an industrial invasion, which meant that it must import a liking for lamp light as well as lamps

ISLAND DAIRY BRED CATTLE
Fall to Show Superiority Over Amer lean 6reeds-Records at Pail
 Show Excellence.

We notice systematic effort on the part of importers of cattle from the island of Jersey and Guernsey to un- duly magnify the excellency of island bred cows and sires The average reader will be led to think that Ameri can bred cattle of these breeds are in. ferior to the island stock, when, in reality, none of the island bred cows of either breed have made such rec. ords at the pail as have their Ameri, can bred sisters.
 It Is about time that it was clearly understood that so far as the island breeders are concerned, the real repu. tat1on for their breeds by actual per. formance has been made for them by American breeders. Milk and butter. fat records, not show ring talk, is what tells the story of excellence, says Hoard's Dairyman On that score the American breeders have reason to be proud of their work
 The island breeders have been very indifferent about keeping well authen. ticated records at the pail, and the system of advanced registry is practi- cally unknown among them. But one 
 imported Guernsey bull has yet made a distinguished record in advanced reg istry as against the best of our home bred bulls.
 We are not so familiar with the Jer- sey records, but we do not believe the American breeders of these cattle have yet any reason to give way be- fore the prestige of the island type. Facts, well proved facts in perform ance, not fads, should hold our atten- ton in dairy cattle breeding. The i'm porting busniness Is all well enough, but we have no special need yet to go abroad for the very best specimens of the Jersey or Guernsey breeds.
 Holstein breeders long ago observed that their American bred cattle did not need any infusion of imported blood to enhance their value to the dairy farm CT and in tcis respect, as in some others, have exhibited commendablf wisdom.

Pretty Thin.

The tail-of-the-seasop reform that swept over Corey island might well have considered the welfare of the wretched horses which are used for the "dime-ride" business. When the season closes they are auctioned of, and are knocked down to the bidders at next to nothing. Generally they are so skeleton like that they arc practically useless.
 At the end of this season a buyer bought an exceptionally attenuated specimen after he had been coaxed to bid on him by numerous promises made by the auctioneer, who wound up by saying:
 Now, look a'here, boss. if you buy this hawse an you ain't pleased with the animile, you just bring him back and get your money-see?"
 "Yes." retorted the buyer; "but this is the last day of the sale, and the beast is so blamed thin he may die on my hands. Then, supposing did bring him back, you proDably wouldn't be here to receive him."
 "Oh, we'll" blandly replied the auc- tioneer, If you do bring him back and we ain't here, you kin just shove it under the door. ."-Lippincott's

 Ship With Nine Decks.
 The Europa will have a beam of ,6 feet, so that her deck will be as wide as Broadway in New York city at its widest point. She will have nine decks above the water line, thus making her literally a skyscraper afoat. The population of small :ity will be luxuriously accommodated aboard without crowding, since her capacity will slightly exceed 5000. The old familiar standard of compari- son, such as the height of the Statue of Liberty or the Washington monu- ment, is completely outclassed.
 Some idea of the enormous size of the Europa may be had from the or ter which has been given for POGO, 00O feet of Oregon fir to be used for the decks alone.

POINTS IN FARM BUILDINGS
Money-Making Standpoint Rather Than Fine Appearance.
By R. M. ROBERTs.)

(By R. M ROBERTS.)
 It always gives me great satisfac ton to see the big red barns that dol the country everywhere. but the more I study the question of farm build ings the more am coming to believe that we would better devote more at tention to sanitation and practical util ity and less to large showy houses'and barns. A large showy barn looks nice but we should consider the matter from money-making standpoint rather than from the fine appearance of the building.
 I would take time and study and plan and then build in such a con venient and substantial manner that you will have no regrets afterward The cost of good building is forgot ten long before the quality.
 A good convenient building has 8 value on the farm that is difficult tc build large. showy buildings and keer them in repair creates additional an. nual expense that few farmers can afford to keep up.
 I am often asked if it vii pay to borrow money to build new barns and silos. I would say yes for the man who has the money and ability to turn them to practical use. but un. less a man is an excellent farmer and has the ready money to build accord. ing to his ideals. would advise him to go slow and build only such build. ings as he finds necessary to conduct his farming operations in an econom ical manner.

- HERE are nearly as many
 Americans who live in Mexico
 as there were in Nevada be-
 fore the fght-between 40,000
 and 5O,00O. There are about 5000 of them in Mexico City alone. Between 1886 and 1908, according to an official report, the total investment in Mexico from all sources was $1,90S,- 900 1000. This in Mexican currency. The equivalent in American money Is $954 100000 Mexico herself contrib uted $295, 1000, 900 (gold), the United States S355, ,O00, ,00O, and all other coun- tries S3O4, 4,0O0,0 ,0OO Thus our invest ment is greater than that of either Mexico herself or of all other foreign nations. Of course, Americans invest ed in Mexico before 1886 and after 1908. American property in the neigh bor republic is worth probably S400,- 100000 at the least It should be re- membered that the Mexican dollar or ''peso" is worth, roughly, 50 cents "gola" or in American money. Figures used in this article are reduced to the American standard.
 There are few lines of industry into which this enormous investment has not worked its way. The hardware stores of Mexico are managed almost wholly by Germans; street railways and meat packing are largely controll- ed by English or Canadian corpora

the great SQlQS WHICH are thought to express the last word in boat building are suddenly found dwarfed by their new sisters and rele- gated to a second place. The new feet now under construction, in turn, surpasses all the great ships which lave gone before.
 The world has scarcely become ac- customed to using the Mauretania as a synonym for large objects, when TWO great ships, the Olympic and the Titanic. were designed to surpass all ,f her dimensions. No sooner was one of these liners launched than the own SITS of the Mauretania planned a new ship of even greater length. Now, In turn, comes the greatest of all pecan liners, the Europa, which Is still larger. With the increase in length, beam and tonnage, comes a core spending development in the luxury of equipment. One may no longer call the great ocean liners floating ho- tels, since the new boats offer many more attractive and novel features not yet attempted by the builder of hotels. The new liners have all, even more than the comforts of a palatial home.
