BIGGEST SIDE-WHEEL STEAMER.
Carries Six Thousand Lake Passen
gers.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 22.-The new
sidewheel passenger steamer See
and-Bee, building for the Cleveland
& Buffalo Transit Company, Cleve-
land, was launched today. from the
Wyandotte yard of the Detroit Ship
building Company, and was chris
tended by Miss Eleanor Moodey,
daughter of Robert c. Moodey, of
Painesville, Ohio, IA director of the
Cleveland & Buffaio Transit Com
pany.
The event is of historical impor-
tance, for the vessel launched is not
only the longest side-wheel passen-
ger steamer on the Great Lakes, but
is also the largest side-wheeler in the
world. She marks the last word in
marine architecture and it is not
likely that there will be built in the
future anything of her type exceed
ing her proportions.
Naval architects are quite agreed
that she carries the efficiency of this
class of steamer to its utmost reaches
md that there is nothing beyond. She
is the crowning achievement Of
Frank E. Kirby, who has designed
practically all Of the palatial side
wheelers built in the United States
To Europe the Great Lakes are
merely little blue patches on the map
of North America, and knowledge of
their variety and extent is not much
more intimate in various parts of the
United States, and it will therefore
come as a revelation to them that the
handsomest side-wheelers of today
are plying the Great Lakes. The
new steamer is of the following di-
mensions: Length over all, 800 feet;
length between perpendicular, 4S5
feet; beam of hull, moulded, SO feet;
extreme beam overguards, 81 feet s
inches depth of hull at stem, 80 feet
4 inches; depth of hull at stern, 27
feet l inch; depth of hull, moulded
23 feet 6 inches; depth of hull at
guards, 22 feet 10 inches.
She is whale of a ship, as may
be gathered from the fact that her
crank shaft and piston rods are
among the largest forgings ever built
in this country. In fact, the forgings
of the battleship Texas, which are
} lying in the Midvale yard at the time
looked like pipestems alongside Of
them.
The air pump is bigger than the
main engine cylinders on the 600
: foot bulk freighters employed in the
= lake shore trade. The cylinders are
the largest that have ever been cas-
in the lake region, the low pressure
5 cylinders weighing 80 tons each ant
? the high pressure 20 tons. The pad

Visiting the School.
EDITED BY
ALICE +. TALCOTT.

I want to ask mothers to make
practice of visiting the schools at
tended by their children. | fully
realize that the hours of nearly every
mothers days are crowded, but l
think if those mothers understood
the significance of an occasional call
at the school, they would steal the
time 20 make one now and then.
The real teacher is genuinely glad
when you appear. She wants your
counsel and help. She wants you to
be her friend and she wants to be
your friend.
And do you know, mothers, what
your visit means to your boys or
girls who are pupils in that school
room? Your presence shows them
that you feel a vital interest in their
school work. 1t brings home and
school closer together. They realize
that you have come to observe and
to criticise, and this knowledge stim-
ulates and encourages them.
The mother ought to know person.
ally the teacher to whose care she
confides her child for many hours
each day. How can mother and
teacher, unknown to one another,
work together for the childs best
good? How can a mother Judge
justly of her child's progress in
school unless she sometimes COM
pares his or her work with that of
other children? And is a child TO
be blamed for feeling little interest
in his school when his mother-his
best and dearest friend-displays no
interest in it at all?
l urge mothers to visit the schools.
They are needed there by pupils and
teachers alike.--A School Teacher.

Removing Grease Stains.
Grass stains may be removed from
washing materials by carefully rub
bing the spots with little fresh lard
Then wash in the usual way, and you
will find that the stains have en-
tirely disappeared.
Removing Iodine Stains.
To remove iodine spots, place the
article instantly, before the spot
dries, in cold water and let soak.
Slightly warm the water. Rub laun-
dry soap over the spot and pour boil
ing water through it. All traces OF
iodine instantly leave.
Keep Flowers in Potatoes.
One of the safest and best ways tc
send a few choice flowers to a dis.
tance is to cut slits in potatoes and
insert the flower stems, taking care
tnat they are tlrmly fastened IN. Ar
ordinary potato will keep most flow
ers fresh for two weeks in a moder
ate temperature.
After Baking the Cake.
After baking a cake, as soon al
removing it from the oven stand the
tin on a cloth which has been wrunl
out of hot water Leave a few mo
ments and then take out. The cake
! will come out without any trouble.
