FIRST THINGS

The first steamship to cross the At 1antic in less time than six days and ten hours, which had been the record for several years was the Eunarder Umbria, which arrived off Sand Hook twenty-five years ago today only six days and three hours out of Queens town. It did not long hold the record. for the following year the Etruria made the trip in a little less than six days and two hours. The first sves- sel to cross in less than six days was the Majestic, which in 1891 lowered the time to five. days and eighteen hours. and in 1908 the LusitaMa came in under five, days-in four days and fifteen hours.
 The coal-tar dyestuff called magen- ta, which produces a rich red color, was discovered in 1859, and derives it's name from the bloody battle of Ma- genta, fought f1fty-three years ago today between the French and Sar- dinians, under Louis Napoleon, and the Austrians unde Gyulai, the latter being defeated with loss of 10000
