SUPREME MOMENT IN A LAUNCH

It 1* Whdß the Vestel Flirt Gete bto tha Water. iThat a launch is a matter of mathematics, as v[cdi as of great skill and labor, is shown by the fact that the man of science who has the matter in charge always makes a se t ofealculations show - ing the strain on the ship and its precise condition at practically every foot of the journey down the ways. If a boat should get in the way, or if it should take an unusual length of time to knock out the keek-blocks, or if any one of half a dozen things should cause serious delay, the scientific man knows just how long he can wait, and jußt how far the limit of safety extends. There is always one supreme moment! in « launch, and ft la at a timethates-' capes the average spectator. It is when the vessel gets fairly well into the water. ■ Ibis is when an importantfaetor known 1 as the moment of buoyancy comes into piny. If yon can imagine a vessel slid-1 Ing down an incline without any water 1 into which to drop, you can see that the ] vessel would tip down suddenly at the j end which has left the ways, and would I rise at the end still on the Incline. But j really, in successful launches, the stern of the vessel is gradually lifted up by the water, and this throws the weight forward on that part of the ship still resting on the ways. Tho force of the water is called the “moment of buoyancy,” and the natural tendency of the ship to drop to the bottom of the stream is called the “moment of weight." Now the moment of buoyancy must always be greater than tb* moment of weight; but it must not bp very much greater, for if it were it would throw too mtgsh weight forward on the port of the ship still on the ways, and might break them down, or injure the plates or keel of the ship- When the great English battleship Ramil lies was launohed, this did really happen; and sogreat-was the strain near the boW that parts of the cradle were actually pushed right into the bottom of the vessel. It is this danger of disaster that causes the scientific launcher to make the most careful calculations as to the conditions surrounding the ship at every foot of her journey into the water.—Frank Matthews, In St. Nicholas. —Borax is extensively used in preserving foods.

PHOSPHATE MININS.

The Large Industry That Has Sprang Up in Florida. \ i’i > .j/ A Sew City Has Been Crested by the Growing HusTneas in the Pcofnsnla State- Marketing of the • Material. The Florida phosphate deposits are of great importance, yet their existence was discovered so recently, and their extent is still so uncertain that few persons not engaged in the sale of fertilizing materials have much knowledge of the large industry which has sprung up in the peninsular state. It has practically created a new city, Ocata. which had a population of but a few hundred in 1870, but is now a thriving business center with modern improvements, banking facilities and ample railway and transportation facilities. Engineering, the leading engineering journal, makes the following statements concerning the region, which are of considerable interest as coming from an unbiased source: “There is no phosphate region in the world known to-day that possesses so many advantages for successful mining as the Florida deposits. The grade of material is the highest average that is being worked anywhere. The facilities for moving the products to points for distribution are good. The average distance from mines to ports for shipment: is about 150 miles. Thediatributing stations for the hard, rock districts are Port Tampa, Fernandina, Brunswick and Savannah, the largest tonnage being moved from Fernandina, where storage bins are located and loading facilities are good. Port Tampa, the terminus of the Plant system of railroads, is constantly adding facilities for prompt handling of cargoes of phosphate, and at present very nearly equals Fernandina hi the amount of its shipments. Railroads are numerous and dheaply constructed, when necessary to extend them into new sections. The machinery needed to mine and prepare the material is simple and inexpensive compared with that generally used in other mining operations, and the cost of a plant j with sufficient land to work upon is | within the reach of small investors. The working days at the mines are j about 280 during the year. The climate is healthful, laborers readily obtained at a fair compensation and skilled oper-j atives ate at hand who are becoming familiar with the business. The min- I log camps are generally well regulated, and proprietors and employes can reside at the mines with safety and with little inconvenience, as supplies of all kinds can be readily obtained at the towns located in the near vicinity of nil the large mining fields. Telegraph and mail facilities are within easy access of nearly every mining camp in the state. Florida phosphates are mostly shipped to European ports, and are manufactured into fertilizers in England, Ireland, Germany France, and quite recently shipments .have been made to the Sandwich islands. Foreign agents of consumers and dealers in phosphates have their offices near the center of production, and contracts for delivery and prices are commonly fixed at points of shipment, the material being sold at a price per unit of its contents of phosphate of lime. The Florida phosphates are all used in the manufacture of commercial fertilizers and superphosphate.”—Boston Transcript.

An Irishman's Brilliant Idea.

Some Irishmen are naturally stupid, but their mistakes at times are so humorous aB to provoke a laugh, which makes one forget the more serious part of the error. Recently a son of Ireland went out rowing on the lake at a famous summer resort. A stiff northwest wind came up, and, not being skillful with the oars, in a Bhort time his boat shipped considerable water. A brilliant idea then seized him, and, taking the butt end of the oar, he battered away at the planks in the bottom* of the boat, finally knocking a hole in them. Fortunately for him a steam launch with a pleasure party aboard came along and rescued him as his boat sank. Upon being asked why on earth he drove a'hole through the boat he replied: “An* phwat else would yez do? Sure the boat was half full of water, an’ so I knocked a hole in the bottom to let it out; but, yez Bee, there was so much more water in the lake that the little bit of a stream in my boat had no chance to get out.” —Harper’s Round Table.

One Way of Finding a Scotsman.

It is related of a successful Glasgow merchant that, sight seeing in Paris once, he lost his way. For a considerable time he wandered about trying to get back to his hotel. The hours went by. He never could speak French, and his Glasgow English only brought a §mile and a shake of the head. “Oh for a body wi’ a guid Scotch tongue in his head!” he sighed. Then came a happy thought. By signs he bought a basket, measure and berries of a trim Frenchwoman, and, shouldering his stock, went along the street shouting: “Fine grossets, a bawbee the pine; fine grossets, a bawbee the pine.” The crowd laughed at the mad Briton, but the familiar cry soon brought some Scotsmen on the scene, and the merchant was able to retire from business and smoke his pipe in the bosom of his family, thankfnl that he had found real Scotsmen in his hour of need.—Tit-Bits.

Save the Wine.

In Tokio a confirmed tippler, having occasion to send his servant, a country girl to buy some sake, which is a native drink, said, placing the empty bottle in her hands: “Now be very carefnl and see that you don't fall in coming bock. If you fall, you know, you will be Bure, one way or another, to spill the wine. Of course, if you are obliged to fall, I suppose you must; but in that case put down the bottle carefully on the road and then fall.”—Judge.

VENEZUELAN BLUE BOOK.

Is Composed of Documents and Cons- —- . spondenee on Disputed Boundary. . j ? London, March 7. The ejected ] Venezuelan blue book, which is entitled “Documents and Correspondence Relating to the Question of the Boundary of Guiana dud Venezuela,” Was ; issued by thegovernment Friday night, j The volume consists of 443 folio pages j with a separate book containing nine j map*. The book opens with 40 pages i comprising a preliminary statement dealing with the history of the territories from 1520 until the issuance of her majesty’s memorandum to Venezuela in March, 1890. The statement concludes as follows: The above examination shows that the main grounds upon which the claim of Venezuela Is supposed to bo-based, so far as It has been presented to Great Britain at different times during the last 60 years, have been as follows: First—The original discovery and tho first exploration of the South American continent by Spain, which are clearly Irrelevant. " *" Second—The bull of Pope Alexander VL, which cannot be considered as having any real bearing upon the question. Third—The allegation that the occupation of Guiana by the Dutch was a violation of tho treaty of Munster. This allegation has been shown to be unfounded. Fourth—Possession aiul occupation by the Spaniards of tho territory south of the Orinoco, including the rivers of Barima. Morocco and Pomeroon. It has been shown that the only Spanish settlements there at any time were San Thome de Guyana, which was situated on the Bouth bank of the Orinoco, and which had -been moved from time to Ume higher up the river/is it was destroyed by the British and Dutch successively, and the Capuchin settlements, situated between the Orinoco and the Tumerimo; as has bean, previously described. __ Fifth—That the Dutch had never had any possessions north of the Essequibo. This statement has been shown to bo equally erroneous, as perusal of the whole diplomatic correspondence will show that the British government, while Insisting that the Just claims of Great Britain would entitle her to a boundary practically embracing the whole water shed of the Essequibo, the jCuyuni, the Yuruari, the Pomeroon, the Watni and the Barima, has been willing to agree to a boundary within those limits, which would give Venezuela far more territory than that to which she can show any title.

WEYLER PROCLAIMS.

Substance of His Latest Warning to Insurgents. Havana, March 9. —The expected ' proclamation by Gen. Weyler, denounced in advance in the United States, has been issued. It was looked for as sopn as the two western provinces should be comparatively free from the rebels. The order is not ns [ severe as was predicted. A synopsis is as follows: Gen. Weyler announces that rebels who "present then!selves, that Is to say, who surrender, in the provinces of Matanzas, Santa Clara, Puerto Principe and Santiago will be given liberty if they bring In their arms.” Those who “come In” without arms will be sent to some town where they will be under surveillance. The authorities of any town may arm volunteers for local service by asking permission. The mayors of all towns axe directed to report within ten days the names of all residents of their jurisdiction who have Joined the rebels. All such who do not present themselves In 15 days shall be considered rebels and their property confiscated. Any rebel who presents himself In 15 days will be under surveillance, but rfdne wffl be molested except those who held public ofllce prior to “going out”—that Is, joining the Insurgents —or had been guilty of crime. This last provision is to avoid pardoning certain persons who were well-known robbers before the rebellion and are now with the insurgent forces. All who surrender after the 15 days will be kept under guard. All persons who give aid or information to the rebels will be held to be assisting the rebellion. Residents of localities in which railways or telegraphs have been destroyed axe required to help repair them.

THE NEW FLAG.

How the Forty-Five Stars Are to Bo Arranged. Washington, March 9. —With the approval of the president, publicity has been given to the design agreed on between Secretary Lamont and Secretary Herbert for the arrangement of the 45 stars in the national flag made necessary by the admission of Utah to statehood. The new arrangement will be officially inaugurated in the army and the navy on July 4 next. The design agreed upon by Secretaries Lamont and Herbert urranges the stars in six rows, the first, third and fifth of eight stars each and the second, fourth and sixth of seven stars each. No new arrangement will be necessary through the admission of new states, as additional stars can be added to the second, fourth and sixth rows without disturbing the uni&s-mity of the decsg^.

FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR.

Mere Attention Paid to Cepafort and Canlenience Than Formerly. J . “Of course, for cnrrlhge wear, house wear, eyeqfxtg wear, the Louis Quinze •heel ts all the go—although 1 do not advocate women moving about all day inj the house, for instance, with their feet at the angle those keels enforce. Whether « woman is walking on the street or walking in the house her foot should be properly poised. The low heel and pointed toe, even an extremely pointed toe, ate to be preferred to the broad toe and high heel which prevailed h dozen or so years ago.” “Apd about the picadilly toes—are they vanishing?” w “A rounded toe f neither pointed nor we are making now for walking boots, but slippers still terminate in a sharp point, perhaps not as exaggerated as last season. “Buckles have little to do with the anatomy of the foot,” he added, “but I want to show you these cut-steel buckles on the! patent-leather slippers,’' and he tqiok from the show window a variety tof Cinderella-like footgear strapped \ind buckled in novel and dainty designs. They pretty enough for the roseleaf feet-ohfaJries. “In regard to leggings, a subject so important to the tuniced and gaited Rosalinds who flit through our parks and along our boulevards, it is revealed that shapely and satisfactory accessories of the kind are being made of black leather and pigskin. The majority are buttoned for convenience in getting Into them, but the more expensive are laced with delicate precision and fit like wax.

“Undoubtedly people pay much more attention to their feet, take better care of them and think more of their comfort now than they ever did. And well they neeij to do so,” quoth the shoemaker, emphatically. “Many people are one-sided and their bodies thrown clear out of plumb simply from always having balanced, themselves on absurd heels and having worn the wrong shape of shoe. I know personally an apparently sensible woman who weighed two hundred and twenty-five pounds and who wore habitually a one and onehalf shoe with a heel three inches high. She fell once or twice and hurt herself, but the fall was never attributed to the shoes. T have another customer, a finelooking girt of noble proportions, who invariably orders an ‘A’ last. It is entirely too narrow for her. Among the people who come to us to be fitted are. a great many whose feet are totally unlike. They have a corn, perhaps, on one foot, and habitually walk In such a way as to ease that foot; that is, throw the off the corn. A different set of muscles is used and the foot enlarges in a different way from its companion foot. Pepplp invariably ‘favor’ on* member of the body more than the other; in measuring for leggings one leg is often found much larger than the other, and the same is true in regard to feet. The shoes are made similar, but the feet are distinctly different.”—?!. Y. Tribune.

WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS.

The Great Increase in the United Kingdom—Seme Statistics. The advance made by women in the professions is strikingly brought out by this new census paper. In the civil service the number of women officers and'clerks had risen from less than 3,000 in 1871 to 8,546 in the last census year. In the local government of the country, too, women are much more freely employed. There was evidently a return of women doctors in 1871; they were awaiting their degrees, or had degrees which the census did not recognize; in 1881 they were returned as 25 in number, but ill 1891 they were 101 in England and Wales. Women veterinary surgeons appeared for the first time in the census of 1891. There were then two of them. Besides over 53,000 sicknurses, there are 887 women engaged in “subordinate medical service.” Under the somewhat comprehensive heading of “author, editor, journalist,” we find 660 women in 1891, as compared with 452 ten years before and 255 in 1871. Women reporters were rare in 1 RSI. Fifteen was the total number for England and Wales, but in 1891 there were 127. In the arts the invasion of the ladies is most conspicuous. In 1881 there were 1,960 of their sex who returned themselves as painters, engravers or sculptors; in 1891 the number had risen to 3,032. For the first time in 1891 there were lady architects on the census. They numbered 19. Lady musicians and music mistresses numbered over 19,000 in 1891. They were 11,000 ten years before. Instead of 2,363 actresses, as in 1881, there were in 1891 3,696. In the commercial class the increase of women workers is not so Btiiking, the apparently great augmentation of commercial clerks being explained by the transfer to this class of hundreds previously described as accountants. —London News.

A Man with Hopes.

Near midnight the other evening I oat down on one of the seats of the Thames embankment when a ragamuffin began pestering me for a penny. After I had given him sixpence I said: “You must go hungry for a long time?” “Yes, sir.” “And you seldom sleep in a bed 7" “Very seldom.” “And your clothes are badly out at the elbows?” , “I need a new suit, sir.” “On the whole, you haven’t much to live for, I take it?” “Not very much, sir, and if it wasn’t for my hopes I'd take a header into the river.” v “What hopes have you?” “Well, sir, I’ll put your tenner with nine bob more on the races to-morrow, and if I win I’ll sit down to a champagne supper and buy myself a box of Havana cigars. That's what I hope for, sir, and I thank you and good night.” I shouted at him to come back with my coin, but he vanished in the gloom in the direction of Blackfrlars bridge.— Pearson’s Weekly.
