_.«‘~_.‘_~.~m ...'\_“- THE Nourish ELECTRIC MARVELS 0N ATLANTIC LINERS. BIG The Latest Cunard Steamers Util- ize Electricity for a multi- tude 01' Purposes. .Although much has, from time to time, been written about the two leviathan Cunard steamers, Lusit- ania and Mauretania, yet compara- tively few can grasp the significant part which electricity plays throughout these ships. A few facts relating to the electrical equipment of the Maureiania may be of inter- est. ‘ Apart from the 70,000 b. p. of the turbines which propel the ship through the water, the electrical power, which is supplied by four generators, represents an addition~ al 2,144 11.1). Electricity is used not only for il- luminatin’g the ship at night, but for a multitude of other purposes, such as operating the lifts, of which there are two for passengers’ use, eight for baggage and mails, and two smaller ones in the pantries. Electrically-driven cranes and win- ches are also provided. It may be of interest to know that 6,300 elec~ tric lamps are installed throughout the ship, giving the enormous to- tal of over 100,000 candleâ€"power. For heating the first-class quarters has heart disease. AMSHIF pushes in prominent parts of the vessel. Four electric searchlights are carried on board, and, in addition to the usual complement of nie- buoys which every ship carries, two special buoys have been provided - for use-‘at nightfl These, upon be- A ing released by pressing a button, automatically light a flare upon striking the water, thus indicating their position. Mention must be made of ’the system of electric clocks, which are placed in the various saloons and important situ- ations throughout the ship. ' The electric installation on this vessel represents about $325,000 value, or some fifteen times the cost 'of the electric equipment on an ev~ erage'Atlantic liner.

Some victims have a raven- ous appetite, while others loathe the sight of food. Often there is a feeling as of weight on the chest, :1 full feeling in the throat. With others there is an intense pain and feeling of nausea alter eating.

NUMEROUS ELECTRIC FANS are. used for ventilating the vari- ous rooms, and are so arranged that they can supply either warm or cool air according to the weather, while the air in the cabins can be total- ly changed six or eight times in an l‘ '211‘. Apart from the above ven- 1 '.tingâ€"'r'ans, sixteen larger ones, Cl 50 hp. each, are iii-ad for sup- plying forced draught to the Laven- ty-fivc boilers. In the extensive kitchensoi the Mauretania electricity is called upâ€" or to play an important role, and it may interest some housewives to learn that one range alone has a frontage of about (30 feet, and cludes a roaster with four vertical spits rotated by an electric motor, these spits being capable of dealing :with half a ton of meat at a timed smallerl . Spills, This is in addition to a roasto' with three spits, driven in the same manner. In the bakery electricity is employed to operate a large dough-making machine cap- able of making bread for at least 2,000 persons. ' ‘Among the miscellaneous apparaâ€" tus driven by this wonderful unseen power are three circular knives for slicing ham and bacon, four potato pcelers, a whisking machine, scvc‘iâ€" al egg-boilers, numerous hot-plates Mr. Alex. McKay, illtchcllan’s Mountain, N. 8., says :â€"â€"“I“or years I was a great sufferer from indiâ€" gestion, which was gradually growâ€" ing worse and worse, and it would be impossible for me to tell how much suffering I endured. At dif- ferent times I had treatment from three good doctors, but it did not help me in the least. Then I began trying all sorts of advertised medi- cmes, and took ten packages of one medicine specially intended for dyspepsia, but With no better re- sults. I had practically come to regard myself as incurable, and to feel that I would be a continuous sufferer, when». one day I read in a newspaper of the cure of indiges- ltion through the use of Dr. Wilâ€" in- I liums’ Pink Pills, and I made up my mind to give them a trial. I had used nearly five boxes before they began to help me, but I do not won- der at this as my case was so bad. I used in all a dozen boxes of the and they cured me complete- ly. I can new eat anything we raise on the farm for man to eat and have no longer the pains and discomfort I had endured for years. .‘i is several years since I was cured, and I have never felta symp- tom of indigestion since. I am well known in this locality and you are quite at liberty to use what I say in the hope that it will benefit some other sufferer.” All medicine dealers sell Dr. Wil- to sell it to the Yankees. They Promptly accepted it, and paid him $10,750,000 “cash down” for it. They made a splendid bargain, for Louisiana could not be purchased new for fifty times the sum given. $15 A SQUARE MILE. Besides, if the State still belongâ€" ed to France, the United States would be in exactly the same pesi- tion as we are in Indiaâ€"as we have t‘. keep up a great army to defend the Indian frontier, so the Ameriâ€" cans would be compelled to _spcnd millions of dollars yearly on an army capable of defending her frontier against possible trouble with her French neighbors. Uncle Sam’s next bargain was‘the' biggest on record. Alaska is a vast tract of country, 580,107 square miles in extentâ€"more. than {our times as large as Great Britain and Ireland. For a long time it be- longed to Russia; but it was never much good to the Muscovitcs, and in 1867 the Czar let it be known that it was in the market. Great Britain could have had it, but reâ€" fused to bid. The United States snapped it up for $7,250,000. They got it cheap, paying less than $15 a square mile. Up to now, it must be admitted, Alaska has not paid, for it is mostâ€" ly a desert of ice and snow. But it is full of possibilities. It contains the Yukon region next door to our Klondike, so that there is a posâ€" sibility of millions of gold coming out of it yet. Also the country is fairly rich in seals. Although there is no record of Britain buying big tracts of terri- tory for cash, she has done a little bargaining. In 1878 the Sultan of Turkey was in deadly fear of being attacked by Russia. Great Britain agreed, if certain circumstances arose, to fight for him. In return he handed over the island of Cpr rus. Nominally, the island was to form a base for British troops, so that they could be more reacny 6.

So, at any rate, says tradition. The story grcs that in the reign of the first Charles one \‘filliam Ward opened a goldsmith’s shop in Lombard afterwards was enabled to purchase at a great bar- gain a quantity of the finest dia- monds, which had been offered for sale by a sailor who had just come ashore. Ward’s stock of diamonds soon attracted the attention of the Court, and he obtained the custom of Queen Henrietta Maria, who ap- pointed him her jewoller. The rest of the story can be told in a few words. A Lord Dudley of that day being in want of £10,000 came to Ward and asked for a loan. For- unately or unfortunately, he was able to offer but little in the way of security, and here Ward saw his chance.
