Of the many applications received, my secretary decided that the one entered by the Dowager Countess already referred to seemed to offer the best opportunities- Wherefore I found that for six shillings and ninepenco the exact price of the advertise ment-the door of the highest English society was flung wide to welcome me.

Thomas B. Taylor of New York launched in the Hudson River on August 4 a work. ing model of the vessel which he thinks will revolutionise ocean travel. He says that if ocean liners adopt his means of locomotion with the success he anticipates, they can cross the Atlantic in three days. The work- ng model launched to-day is thirty feet over all and five feet beam. It draws three feet of water and the hull is made of oak and cedar. It has a tube which is also made of oak, twenty-soven feet long and fifteen inches in diameter. In the tubo are fitted four propellers. A shaft is connected with a fourteen horse-power gas engine in the middle of the tube. The gear for the propellers is in the middle of the tube, and it is arranged on a wheel that can be used As a fifth propeller. Taylor says he expecte to get 1,003 revolutions a minute. theory is that the propellers can produce greater speed driving through water that is confined within the walls of the tube than when they revolve in water not confined, In support of this theory be says that with A three-feet model run by electricity he wade 50 per cent. greater speed with pro- pellers inside of the tube than under the ordinary method. Taylor is 27 years old and was graduated from Cornell, where he took a course in naval architecture and engineering: After that he worked for two years in the Union Iron Works in San Francisco.

The evidence given on behalf of the defence was somewhat conflicting. The first witness called a passenger on board the Wingchai, who was seated on the port aide of the bridge-affirmed that he heard the whistle sound and that the Yingking was on the port quartor, or the right hand.
