So gradually that the change is al-
most unnoticed the great marine en-
gines which shake the ocean liners
from stem to stern in their transat-
lantic voyages are giving way to the
swift and silent turbine.
It is only a matter of time before
all the, big passenger steamships
which traverse the ocean will be
equipped with the more speedy, more
economic and money-saving device.
It is only ten years since the Hon.
Charles Parsons Ir'd down his first
practical turbine boat, the Turbinia.
She was first seen in public at the
Jubilee Naval Review in the Solent
in 1897, when her extraordinary speed
as she easily outdistanced the fastest
launches created a sensation.
Since then the new record-breaking
Cnnarders have been equipped with
turbine engines, which marks an
epoch in the history of transatlantic
traffic.
The Turbinia was practically all en-
gines. She was merely a hull intend-
ed to prove the power of the new mo-
tor. Bnt the ocean steamships equip-
ped with the device are palatial pas-
senger craft, calculated to stand th.
wear and tear of ocean storms.
Although the general public is ig-
norant of the tremendons change go-
ing on in ocean transportation, to ship-
builders this change has been a start-
ling surprise.
It is expected that the 800-foot Cu-
ronia, now being built, will be capable
of a speed of twenty-five knots, or al-
most thirty miles an hour.
Mr. Parsons himself never doubted
the ultimate application of the tur-
bine engine to the biggest ocean
steamers.
He showed what conld be done with
it in the two torpedo boat destroyers.
Cobra and Viper. These boats each
made thirty-two knots an hour.
The engines worked perfectly, and
now the Parsons company are putting
tnrbine engines into two second-class
cruisers of heavy tonnage for the Brit-
ish Admiralty. That these -cruisers
will be the speediest ot their class
is beyond question.
But speed is only one of the advan-
tages that the turbine engine pos-
sesses. The almost complete absence
of vibration is one of itsj great points
of superiority over the ordinary re-
ciprocating engine.
Another advantage possessed by the
tnrbine is the comparatively small
space it occupies. There is no smell
of heated oil or machinery. In future
times the space occupied by the en-
gines in the ordinary steamer will be
available for cabin accommodation.
The various advantages of the steam
turbine may be enumerated as fol-
lows: Small space occupied; low first
cost, attendance and maintenance;
automatic governing or lubricating;
initial steam economy maintained; no
cylinder lubrication; steam exhaust
entirely free from oil.
Built Island on a Shoal.
Dr. Justus Ohage became a
years ago health officer of St Paul.
He noticed a bit of shoal in the Mis-
sissippi, visible only when the river
was low, but accessible within ten
minutes’ ride from the city, hall. Se-
curing possession. by gift, of* as much
as be could and by purchase of what
he could not beg. be had the city’s
clean waste dumped upon this little
island, thus rapidly bringing it above
high water mark. On the four and

ed from the “father -of vaters” the
city of St. Paul now maintains within
easy reach of a majority of its popu-
lation a children’s playground, a small

rVEO CHANGE
Copperhead and Rattler.
The copperhead Isn’t a bad looking
snake, as snakes go, but it has a migh-
ty bad reputation. In fact, it is gen-
erally regarded as a mean sort of
snake and is apparently without a
friend or even an apologist. Although
it won’t chase you nor go out of its
way to get a crack at you, it probably
does more business per snake than
does the rattler, the moccasin or any
other of the venomous kind. It is said
that where there is one there are al-
ways two copperheads, so when you
smell green cucumbers look out, for
that seems to be the only warning
you will get of the presence of this
reptile. The rattler is a little mors
polite, also more vicious, for after giv-
ing yon timely warning it will stand
its ground and fight like a good fellow,
while the copperhead will run and
hide.

A Clock Without Hands.
A Connecticut man baa Invented
and patented a clock which does away
with the hands and dial of the elock
now In common use. Instead, it has
^hree openings in the face of the
clock behind which appear numbers,
so that the time is read direct, as IT—
45—3 instead of a series of bauds
pointing out the honr, as forty-five
minutes and thirty-two seconds past
twelve. The system is an Improve-
ment on the clocks of to-day. accord-
ing to the inventor, because there
can never be any confusion between
the hands, and the time Is tellable
as far as the figures on the dial
can be read, while with the clocks
of to-day the face can be seen long
after the relative position of the
bands baa become Indistinct
Old Man’s Secret
Alpena, Mich.. Sept 6 (Special).—
Seventy-five years of age but hale
and hearty is Mr. Jerome K. Four-
aler of this place, and to those who
ask the secret of his splendid health
he gives the good advice “Use Dodd’s
Kidney Pills."
When asked for his reason for so
strongly recommending the Great
American Kidney Remedy, Mr. Four-
nier related the following experience:
"I recommend Dodd’s Kidney
Pills because they cured me Of Dia-
betes. I suffered wlA my kidneys
for a long time and suffered terribly
from those Urinary Troubles that are
so general among aged people.
"Then I started to use Dodd’s Kid-
ney Pills and eight boxes of them
cured my kidneys, regulated my wa-
ter and made me feel like a hearty
young man."
Dodd’s Kidney Pills make the old
feel young because they make sound
kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health
and health is the other name for
youth.

A Trick of the Trade.
Residents of a certain block which
boasts a long sustained respectability
were astonished recently to see the
basement of a brownstone house con-
verted into a blacksmith shop. The
block beheld with dismay, which grew
when it eaw the bold signs which
the proprietor put upon his walls. Pres-
ently a tailor’s shop was opened on ho
block. This was the final strolA.
Property began to exchange owners,
and furniture vans were busy for a
time. Then the blacksmith shop and
the tailor’s store suddenly vanished.
What had happened? Nothing more
than that some designing real estate
dealers had attained their ends. They
had bought a few houses and had pur-
posely set about depreciating the val-
ue of the adjoining property so that
they could get it at bargain rates. The
blacksmith and the tailor were allured
by the bait of cheap rents in the
houses which the dealers had bought,
and perhaps there was a secret under-
standing by which the newcomers la
business were to make themselves as
obnoxious as possible to the resb
tents.—New York Post
