MONARCH OF OCEAN STEAMS INTO PORT

"Olympia " the Greatest Ship Afloat, Reaches New York Today. (National NVwi Atmoolatlon) New York, June 21. In the White Star Line' Atlantic Hotel Olympia, which steamed up New York harbor this morning at 8:50 o'clock and moored at a specially built dock, the largest in America, the ocean has a culminating type, combining with moderate peed, spaciougness, luxury and safety. This new hostelry of Father Neptune, the highest and longext and heaviest skyscraper of his realm, weighs 66,000 tons. The new Woolworth building In New York, the highest In the world. Is to be 730 feet high, but the Olympic is 8X2 Va feet in length. When the tremendous craft steamed through the Narrows, up the bay and Into North river to weigh anchor pulled by a flock of snorting tuga, ilcdlam was let Iooko by the big whittles from one end of the harbor to the other, and the reception accorded the stranger was ono In. proportion to the Importance of her maiden trip, whicli practically marks a new era in ocean travel. The big super-leviathan woa. gaily attired In flags of every color, size and hape, and the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack floated from her topmasts. An Impressive Sight. It was an Impressive sight, and one could not but meditate upon the remarkable, almost unbelievable figures of the size of tills sea-mountain. While her displacement is 66,000 tons of water, her register is 45,000 tons gainst 32.500 tons of the Lusitanla. The Olympic's breadth over all is 92 feet, 6 Inches; height from bottom of keel to top of captain's house, 105 feet, 7 Inches; distance from top of funnel to keel, 175 feet; number of water-tight bulkheads, 15: passengers carried, 2.500 and crew 360. The colassal rudder which Is to bo operated electrically. Is of loo tons weight, the anchors weign loVi tons tach; the central, or turbine propeller, weighs 22 tons; and each of the two swing propellers, 3S tons. Each link In the anchor chain weighs 175 pounds. There are more than 2,000 windows in the hotel. There are fourteen levels, and if one were to count the crow's nest he might figure fifteen. The depth of the hull of the Olympic Is 64 feet, 6 inches. This floating oarvansary is propelled at a continuous sea speed of 21 knots by three screws, the two oute? ones driven by two sets of triple expansion engines, while the central one Is worked by a Parsons exhaust team turbine. The total horse-power is about 46.0C0. Build Special Docks. When the Olympic was planned nothing was ready for her but the Ambrose Channel. Harland and Wolff had to build a bigger yard and spend a million for gantries or construction frames. Belfast had to construch the biggest dry dock in the world. There was not a freight car in England that could transport the 190-ton stern frame; traffic on both sides of the railroad had to be stopped when it was hauled from foundry to coast, and railroad stations had to be partially dismantled to let it pass. The London and Southwestern Railway had to spend $400,000 In dredging a deeper channel at Southampton, and it was only on the threats of the New London and Montauk Point to provide adequate docks that the merchants of New York awoke from their sleep and co-operated with -the Dock Commissioners In almost forcing the Secretary of War to overrule the Harbor Line Board and grant the White Star line the privilege of extending experimentally its pier at Nineteenth and Twentieth streets.

Mute evidence to disprove the charge that Captain Sigsbee, in command of the ill-fated Maine, was not on board the vessel the night of the explosion, was dis covered today when the captain's uni form coat was found in the officers' cabin but outside of the wardrobe. Sigsbee dined away from the Maine that night and it had been charged he did not return to the vessel. TORRICELLPS VACUUM. Experiment That Lod to the Invention of the Barometer. The barometer was invented by Torricelli, a pupil of Galilei, in 1643. In attempting to pump water from a very deep well near Florence he found thnt In spite of all his efforts the liquid would not rise higher in the pump stock than thirty-two feet. This set the young scientist to thinking, and as he could not account for the phenomenon in any other way he was not 6low in attributing It to atmospheric pressure. He argued that water would rise in a vacuum only to such a height as would render the downward pressure or weight of the column of water just equal ro the atmospheric pressure and, further, that should a heavier fluid be uod the height of the column could be much reduced. To prove this be selected a glass tube four feet long and after sealing one end filled it with mercury and then inverted it in a bnsiu coutainiug a quantity of the same peculiar liquid. The column iu the tube quickly fell to a height of nearly thirty iuches above the mercury la the basin, leaving iu the top of the tube a vacuum whfch is the most perfect that has ever been obtained. and which is to this day called the Torrieelll vacuum in honor of its discoverer. The name of the instrument means "air measure," and Its fundamental principles cannot be better illustrated than by the above described experiment. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

MONOPOLY IS BETTER THflli COMPETITION

Havemeyer Testified Trusts Have Saved Many from Bankruptcy. (National News Association) Washington. June 21. Trusts were held up as a panacea for the business troubles of the country today before the house committee investigating the alleged sugar trust. Taking up his testimony where he left off yesterday. Horace Havemeyer, son of the sugar king, maintained that "Trusts are good for the country." "It is much better for large business to absorb smaller business than for the latter to become bankrupt," was one of the declarations of the witness, which he made to bring out fully his championship of trade combinations. "Do you mean to say," asked Representative Raker, "that monopoly is a great thing for the public?" "I think that a reasonable monopoly is good for both the investors and the customers," answered young Havemeyer. "I think that combination is better than cqmpetition between a large refinery and a number of small refineries which have limited capital and limited technical knowledge of the business. It is better to take in the small fellows than to see them go bankrupt." "In other words," said Representative Baker, "it is all right for a big concern to gobble up these little fellows, scattered here and there over the country?" "Yes, I think so," answered Havemeyer. "That would be preferable to running these smaller concerns out o business altogether by competition." "Like the formation of the National Sugar company," suggested Raker, "it was a $20,000,000 corporation with about half its stock watered. Did you not sell sugar so as to bring dividends on this stock?" "I presume so," answered Havameyer. "Then I fail to see how such plans could benefit the public," said the California representative. Name Worth Millions. Raker wanted to know what Henry Havemeyer had ,yaid for the $10,000,000 worth of common stock in the National company which President Post has testified was "watered." This stock is now the subject of litigation in that it stands in Post's name, but was turned over to Havemeyer. The witness said his father's name was worth millions at the time of the combine. "Beyond the value of your father's name, no cash equivalent was paid for this stock," suggested Representative Raker. Young Havemeyer knew of no cash being exchanged for the $10,000,000 in common stock. Hetestified that if he obtains possession of the stock, as a result of the litigation, he will make the National Sugar company a competitor of the American Sugar Refining company. HE LED THE CHARGE. And Then the General Changed His Mind About the Colonel. The French General Gallifet was a famous cavalry leader, a good liver, a fine soldier and a man of impetuosity, daring and bravery. It is said that Galllfet's pluck was In great measure owing to his extraordinary powers of digestion, he once undertaking and accomplishing the feat of eating a wineglass. In a biography of General Gallifet is the following story: "During some maneuvers he was watching a charge of cavalry under his orders. Suddenly the leading squadron stopped dead. Gallifet roared, 'Send me the colonel!' And the colonel galloped up. " 'Now. colonel, what's wrong? " 'We came upon a road at the bottom of an embankment which was too 6teep to ride down, sir.' " 'Nonsense, sir! You're not fit for your job. I will lead the charge. You go to the tail of the squadron. "Gallifet took the command, galloped to the road and rolled down the embankment with his horse. Lying on his back with a sprained muscle in his leg. he shouted to his men to stop, adding: " 'Send me the colonel I "The colonel came up from the tall of the squadron. " 'Colonel, you were right. I am a d d fool! You may take the command of your regiment again-' " FIRST TYPEWRITER. It Was a Clumsy Machine and Practically Useless. Most persons will be surprised to learn that the typewriting machine is not, as they imagine, a distinctly modern invention. So long ago as 1714 a patent was taken out in England by Henry Mill for "a machine for impressing letters singly and progressively as in writing, whereby all writings may be engrossed In paper so exact as not to be extinguished from print. His machine was, however, a clumsy one and practically useless. It was not until over a century later (182U) that anything more in this line was attempted. Then the first American typewriter, called a 'typographer," was patented by W. A. Burt. In 1S23 a machine was produced In France having a separate key lever for each letter, and between the years lv40 and 1SG0 Sir Charles Whetstone invented several machines which are now preserved In the South Kensington museum. London. In 1S73 C. L. Sholes. an American, after five or six years' work, succeeded in producing a machine sufficiently perfect to warrant extensive manufacture. He interested a firm of gun manufacturers in it, and in 1874 the first model of the modern typewriter was put upon the market. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Dells' Eyes That Grow In the Woods. In the spring woods we seldom observe the short, fuatry clusters of tho white baneberry flowers, but in tho autumn woods their fruit, oval, white, poisonous berries, with a dark purple sKt ou the end. ore very noticeable. They bear a remarkable resemblance to dolls' eyes; hence their common name. Country children often ose them toe dolts' eyes by pusbiug them into prop er places in the face of the rag ba by." If the baby is black the effect is startling. It is mere than realistic, for it is suggestive of ludicrous horror on the part of the little "plckanlnny." Please remember that you may handle these berries freely, but do not eat them. As already stated, they art poisonous. St. Nicholas. Thre Clever Tailors. Three clever tailors bad their shops on a lending business street. Eacb was eager to get all the trade possible, and each wanted to outdo tbo other.

When tailor No. 2 saw this he made up his mind to go bis neighbor on better, lie thought and thought and finally hit on this advertisement, which be placed attractively In bis show window: TH3 BEST TAILOR IN THIS WORLD. Tailor No. 3 all the, while was keeping very -quick He was too busy to pay much attention to the first sign, but when the secoud went . up bo winked his eye and laughed In bis sleeve, and very likely in several other sleeves, for he was the cleverest tailor of 1 he lot. and be knew It. Others knew it, too. when a few days later bis sign went up. it read: THE BEST TAILOR IN THIS STREET. Bathing In Sweden. The weekly bath ut some of the private schools In Sweden Is a very funny affair. Running hot and cold water is unknown, and that the pupils may nil bathe at the same time and help each other ronnd. shallow tubs full of water are placed on the floor in a circle. v Each boy is given a pair of doth mittens and a piece of soap and told to get into a tub. The tubs are close together. When the boys have been in soak a few minutes each one is told to set to work on the buck of the boy In front of him aud give him a good scrubbing. Nothing could be more ludicrous than the sight of two or more dozen ' boys vigorously belaboring eacb oth- . er's back with their wash rags. Occasionally one will take this opportu-" nity of paying off an old score and . will dig his neighbor's back with a vengeance. As a rule, all look for- -ward to the bath hour with pleasure, and the greatest hilarity prevails amid the splashing of soap and water.
