To Distinguish Steamers.

The funnels of different steamships are characteristically painted to enable people of .modest nautical knowledge to distinguish them A Cunardor has brilliant red funnels, with broad black bands around the top. The ila re Lino is the same, but has two narrow black bands in a dttion. North German Lloyd vessels have stacks of a lovely unbaked biscuit-wa e tint, very dainty and summery to look at, and the distinguishing mark of the White Star Line is yellow, with a biack band. The Guton and Inman lines both have black funnels, the former banded with red and the latter with white A very few minutes will amlliarize any one with the-e differences and add a special interest to the passing vessel met on an occ n voyage or vii w d from a bath.ng beach
