viii Cost s1o,oOO,ooo.

The new liner will cost about &c.
100000 and will be the last word in
ocean luxury. There will not be
single berth in the entire ship, and
there will be bed for every one, from
the millionaire who pays small for
tune for suite ON the promenade deck
to the humble steerage passenger.
Nothing will be left undone to make
the liner not only the speediest of her
class, but also one of the most splendid
ly appointed. For the interior work
the eminent German interior architects,
Bruno Paul, Schroeder & Pope, have
been awarded the contract. They are
the architects who worked out the de-
tails of the interior decorations and fit
tings of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie and
the George Washington, at the present
time the finest vessels in the North
German Lloyd feet.
The announcement given out yester-
day further states that the new liner
has been designed so as to make pos
sible a transatlantic schedule that will
approach the regularity of an express
train. The length, width, and other
dimensions of the ship were not made
| public, neither was the contract figures
The letting of this contract, it il
said, also forecasts the entering on 9
large scale of the North German Lloyd
into the Pacific trade that will be open
ed to the world with the completion
of the Panama Canal.

For a Pacific Service.

1t is understood in shipping circles
that the construction of fleet of man.
moth liners such as that contracted for
yesterday will probably mean that the
North German Lloyd liners of the
Kaiser Wilhelm IL, class will probably
be utilized for service from New
York to San Francisco via the canal
There are four liners of the Kaiser Will
helm II, class-Kaiser Wilhelm IL, the
Kronprinz Wilhelm, the Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, and the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse With the George Washington
they are now the stars of the North
German Lloyd service.
Lending color to this report, it is
pointed out that Philip Heineken, man
aging director of the North German
Lloyd, was in the United States few
weeks ago and that during that visit
Herr Heineken made visit to the
Pacific Coast, where he is believed to
have looked into dock facilities at San
Francisco and other leading Pacific
ports.
On his return to New York Herr
Heineken did not give out any public
statement as to the object of his trip
to the Pacific Coast, nor has he made
any public statements since he returned
to Germany. That he had in mind the
New York-Pacific service via the canal,
however, is the general belief in ship.
ping circles.
In the case of the 54,000-ton liner
contracted for recently, one of the
questions sure to arise is where will she
dock when she comes to New York
Certain it is there are no piers in
Hoboken long enough to accommodate
her at the present time, on which side
| of the river all of the North German
Lloyd liners now dock.
All of the docking space in tn,

 MT. Topperwein is the originator of many marvellous fancy and trick shots and also of the. feat of draw ing the outlines of Indian chiefs and other pictures with bullets from d rifle. Rifle shooting is not his only only acquirement as he does wonder full work also with revolver, pistol and shotgun.
 Mrs. Topperwein, who shcpts to demonstrate the superior quality of the American Powder Mills "Dead Shot" smokeless powde, is undoub- tedly the premier lady shot of the world. Although she took up shout ing only a few years ago, she has startled the shooting world and en- tertained many thousands of people by her great skill with rifle, shot, gun and pistol. Shooting comes natural to her, as without seeming difficulty she masters various kinds Of shooting quickly.
 Her first public appearance was at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis, where, with Winchester automatic rifle, she broke 967 out of 1000 2 1-2 inch flying targess and later, 1,995 out of 2,OO0 with straight run oi 1,437.

 When Senator Smith reached the committee room, messages from To- rento awaited him containing the in- formation that depositions of officers and crew of steamer Mount Temple, which sighted the Titanic, would be taken by Canadian authorities at St. Johns, N.

 Senator Smith asked Mr. Marconi what he had to do with the wireless appartus ashore and afloat, and Wheth- CT he selected the operators.

 a"What is your official connection with the British governmcnt?"

 MT. Marconi told the committee the general scope of the contract with the British government.
 Have you the exclusive right to equip the British wireless stations?"
 "We have that right, so far as the courts protect our patents in Eng land" said Marconi.
 Have you such rights in Ger many?
 "NO."
 Have you had?'
 We have had dealings with the German government and Germany s ships and stations now are controlled by company which works in har- mony with us. We get percentage for our patents"
 Senator Smith sought to discover whether the witness had exclusive contracts with any other govern ments.

Another argument of the expert was that it would hardly be possible to locate the Titanic, owing to weight the dynamite, and by the time, and by the time it had been sunk two miles, passing through the vari- ous currents of the every shifting water, it might not be anywhere near the wreck.

One day teacher OF mathematics
went shopping with his wife. He
tagged along llstlessly from counter

dress-trimmings department, and there
he found something in his line. Said
his wife to the saleswoman:

girl.
How much is 1t yard?"
Three dollars"

Sir George Darwin. the noted scien-

tides are due TO the moons attraction,
