The Reichstag has given the first
reading to a bill appropriating above
$11 900, 600 for completing the Central
Railway OF German East Africa TO

is already in operation to within SO
miles of Tabora the chief trading cen

town next spring, distance of 525
miles from it's starting point at OAR

From Tabora to Ujiji is another 255
miles. making the total length of the
road 100 miles. 1t is planned TO estab-

Clement Clarke Moore. the author
Of the poem, was the grandson OF
Major Clarke. his father being the
Right Rev Benj,lmin Moore, second
Bishop OF New York.
Moore held the chair i'm Hebrew and
Greek at the Gena-al Theological Sem

was professor emeritus until his death
in 1868, and wrote the trst Hebrew

When his lectures were over. Moore
found his chief delight in composing
verses for his children. He had in

wrote the poem which was TO become

children of all the world. never

sloped To the Hudson there were great
flreplaces. where stockings were huns

appropriate setting FOR the poem.
Among the friends OF the Moores
was the family of the Rev. DIR. David
Butler. at that time rector OF st. Paul's
lchurch in the city Of Troy Shortly
after Christmas. while the eldest
daughter of Mr. Butler was visiting al
iChelsea, one Of Clement Moore's little
daughters read her the poem. Miss
Butler at once copied the verses in heI

with them, however, that just before

Or. Moore, although his name ala
not appear, WAS somewhat displeased
at the publication of the poem. He
was extremely modest, and he felt that
the verses had little merit save as
verses for children. IL was long
time before he saw that Just in that
fact lay it's claim to Immortality. HIS
Hebrew lexicon and other scholarly
writings are known TO very few. The
little poem written for his children is

New Screw Propeller.
At meeting of the Society of Ger
man Naval Architects new kind OF
screw propeller for ships was describ-
ed. The inventor is DIR. r. Wagner
the CHIEF engineer of the 'Vulkan
Works" of Stettin, which has built
most OF the fast German ocean liners.
The invention consists of n second
propeller mounted behind the working
propeller, but not itself revolving. It's
blades are set i'm the reverse direction
to those OF the real propeller, and have
the function Of checking the swirling
movement of the water set in motion
by them. which involves "A considerable
loss of power Stated i'm other words,
the second propeller tends TO hold the
water in position so that the revolving
blades Of the working propeller can
act upon IL with greater force.
