LARGEST Sidewheel Steamer.

Very interesting is the continual in

passenger steamship in the world to-
day. In the history of steamship con
struction she has been exceeded only
once, and that was by the Great East

The time and season of accidents
has been a subject Of investigation in
Germany. The months show little diff
ference in the frequency Of accidents,
and the month of greatest number,
October, rises only to $50 per cent of
the years total. The days Of the
week have much greater difference.
The accidents are most numerous on
Monday, supposed to be due to abuse
Of alcohol on Sunday, and the daily
number then diminishes to a minimum
on Wednesday, Sunday being except
ed, afterward rising steadily to Sat.
urday, which has a record between
those Of Monday and Tuesday.

Moons Influence on Rainfall.

A new instance Of supposed onnec

the support of highly scientific author

South Africa at intervals of nineteen
years, and this period comedies with
the lunar cycle Of maximum north and
south destinations. 3. q. Nevill, late
director of the Natal observatory, finds
an explanation in the moons attrac-
ton. The theory is that a permanent
