NOW FOR CORRUGATED SHIP.

The ship of the future will have
crinkly sides according to Captain G.
S. ,MacIlwaine of the British navy.
Such ship has already been con-
structed. 1t has corrugations or pro-
jections, running in a fore and aft
direction. below, the load line. From
the top of the upper corrugation to
the bottom of the next below, the dis
tance is 13 feet, inches, the groove
between being of the same dimen-
sions as the corrugations From the
inner edges of the frames the CORFU
cation projects % inches, tapering
forward and aft till they merge into
the ends of the vessel.
The claims made for this type of
ship" said Captain MacIlwaine, "are
that she is stronger than the plain
sided ship, that she is steadier at sea
and possesses greater stability, that
vibration is much reduced, that her
cargo capacity is increased, that she
is much handler, and that she can be
carried 20 per cent further on a ton
of coal than a plain ship of similar
dimensions
By way of practical proof of his
claims the captain gave figures
which he obtained during voyages in
ship built on the corrugated prin-
ciple. The average slip" was 2 per
cent, against 13 per cent for plain
vessel the engine revolutions were
fewer for a given speed and less fuel
was consumed for the same speed.
my faith in the corrugated ship"
he said, sis such that in my humble
judgment the country cannot stand
aside and see her pass into other
hands. An experiment in the build
ing of a torpedo boat or destroyer,
even if it failed to realize the high
est exceptions, would cost nothing If
successful, and it would inaugurate a
new era."-San Francisco Examiner

ARTIST FORCED TO
GIVE UP HIS TEAS

for the first three months and begun
his social campaign with high teas

weird and artistic musicians singers

Charity, his colored servant brought
from New York, became a gorgeous
Indian princess, dressed in lavish Ori.

who could not speak English. But
even Charity could not stand the
strain and after several months con-
fided to one of her friends:
Deed this playin' Indian may be
all right, but if 1 coudd only get back
to Central Park West and Ninety
ninth street I'd be the happiest wo-
man alive"
Mr.. Russell continued his teas and
the lists of names of guests seemed
like some great court function.

among all the Russelites is referred
to as Her Majesty" as she married
a khedive of Egypt, placed COM
mission for portrait with Mr.. Rus
sell, as did also Mrs. Sheldon. While
things were looking black for the ar
tist, yet in these two commissions he
saw his salvation if he could only
manage to get the money before the
crash came. But unfortunately the
necessities of his French creditors
would not wait for the consummation
of the artistic commissions, and his
need of money became pressing With
the rent and other bills due, Mr.. Rus
sell found his triumphal progress in
Paris society blocked by the need of
paltry $3.50 which he could not
raise. But the teas went on just the
same and the crowds were greeted by
Mr.. Russell with a smile as If worry
vast the last thing in the world he
had to think about.
Finally he was given an ultimatum,
and the wondrous social structure Mr..
Russell had built about himself on a
foundation of noble titles and artistic
tastes fell in one grand ruin.

FIRE SIGNALS FOR CROSSINGS.

Whenever there is a fire in the busy
districts of a great eity-or in any
sizable city in fact-there is always
great danger both to the firemen
oriv nS the apparatus ana TO the cit
izens afoot to teams and automobiles
The iirenen must go AZ record
speed to the scene OF the fire and
they need every inch of the street at
the corners for the long ladder trucks
and heavy engines to make the
curves in.
Policemen rush out and warn the
people as best they can to keep out
of the way, to stop close to the curb
ings and all that, and yet many ac-
cidents happen as people drive in
from cross streets without warning
that the firemen are coming, and get
in the way.
To help avoid all this trouble an
inventor has devised a warning,
something like a railroad semaphore
signal, to be placed at street cor
ners and to be worked automatically
along the route the firemen will take.
This novel safeguard was designed by
the NIdlleNGll lIC <AleiA III lNiO6ioPh
company of New York, and wherever
it has been tried it has given splendid
satisfaction.
The signals each consist of sem
a phore operated by motor, electric
light and loud ringing vibrating bell.
These signals are connected on cir
cult extending to the fire alarm CEN
tral station or to fire engine house.
The operation of a switch in the en-
gine house or central station operates
a relay or controller at the street
crossing signal, causing the sema-
phore, light. and bell to operate and
indicate the approach of the fire de-
partment apparatus. They have
proved themselves extremely valuable
in protecting the fire department ap-
paratus and firemen from injury as
we'll as in protecting the public.
The light, working automatically,
serves as a warning for it not only
glows a danger signal soon under
stood by all residents of the city, but
it illumines the sign FIRE" and
this, with the ringing of the bell, will
generally prove sufficient to make
even stranger to such signals un-
derstand the danger and act accord
ingly

Paris.-Even the high artistic ideals
and ambitions of Edmund Russell.
the New York esthete and painter, af-
forded him but little consideration
when French necessity got after him.
Mr.. Russells artistic career, which
resembled almost social triumph in
the French capital, was brought to an
abrupt and unexpected close this
week when he was asked to stop his
receptions and vacate the classic stu
dio of the famous painter, Gerome,
which he had rented for his Paris
campaign, for nOn-payment of rent.
The first suggestion of trouble to the
outside public was some three hun
dred personal notes which Mr.. Russell
sent out, stating that, owing to the
recent death of Nine Gerome and the
consequent ownership of the house
he was obliged to interrupt his weekly
receptions for the moment.
Mr.. Russell has been getting much
advertising out of his Monday recep-
tions, where no title was too long to
be announced in all it's fullness and
where some snobbish Americans had
the opportunity of thinking they were
practicing courtesy to people of title,
more or less noble, and proportion
ately stupid.
Mr.. Russell called his afternoons
artistic" and drew great crowds but
the heirs of Gerome did not think the
receptions were either artistic or ben
eficial as an asset to the building SO
they politely asked him to be good
enough to discontinue them.
But this was the least of Mr. Rus
sells troubles. When he came to
Paris, some six months ago, he heard
that Ribera, the Spanish artist who
has a lease on the Gerome studio,
would be away for the greater part
of the year and would be pleased to
sublet. Mr.. Russell grabbed at the
opportunity-for what better setting
could he have for his artistic and So
cial propaganda than a spot consid-
cred almost sacred. So he paid $400

Lloyd George and Relations

David lloyd Georges relations have
played a great part in his life. 1t Is,
indeed, perhaps the most inspiring
feature of his private life that all his
family seem to have formed them
selves into a league for his advance
ment. His uncle was in the truest
sense a second father to him. His
wife has never thought anything a
sacrifice which has helped to win
him fame. His brother-then junior
partner the firm of Lloyd George
