The new giant Cunard line steam ship the Agnitania, which is now be- ing- rapidly prepared for sea, having been launched on .April 21, 1913 from the -yard of the builders, lHessrs. John Brown & Co., Clyde- bank, Glasgow, Scotland, combines in her design and construction the experience and invaleable informa- tion deduced from the oonetenotion and performances of the Lusitania and the Mauretania and the many other famous ships •that have pre- ceded her under the Cunard flag. Each succeeding vessel built for the company during the seventy- three years of its existence has la one way or another marked an ad- vance :on its immediate predecessor. The principal figures of the Agnit- ania, according to information sup- plied by the Cunard Steamship Cempany, are- :-Length, 901 feet ; brea,c1th, 07 feet; depth to boat clock, 92 feet 0 inches; gross ton- nage, 47,000 tons; speed, 23 knots; aceommodation for 3,200 passengers and a crew of nearly 1,000. The unprecedented weight, length and other striking features of the great steamship involved the consideration of unusual conditions, ancl, like 'everything else connected with the construction demanded ar- rangements being made on a scale of magnitude never before.required by the Clyde. An inaportant feature of the Aqui- tania, as in the Lusitania and Mau- retania, is that extending through- -0mb the most valnerable parts there is that great desideratum, a ship within a ship., In other words, there are two -shells, the inner as well as the outer .shell being water- tight. The specie between the outer and inner skins averages about fifteen feet, and at shdet inthrvals there are bulkheads dividing this inter- vening space into relatively small eamportments„' It will be under- stood, therefore, that any fracture on the outer ehell clue to collision will result in the ingress of the sea being limited to a small alma at the side of the ship. In addition to this important prevision there are six- te,en bulklie,ads extending athwart - ship from the port to starboard side, It might be thouglit that this eombined system of transverse and longitudinal watertight subdivision was in ithelf sufficient safeguard against flooding, but further pro - Nemo. has laeen ma -de by the devel- opment of the system of fitting wa- tertight clecics which was introcluee,d I into the construction of -the Zits'- 1 tania, and the Mauretania. - From the point of view of strength, therefore, the 11 quitania minbodies the main features of the Eusitania and the Mauretania, with additions eonsequent upon increas- ed beam a,nd length. The , Acm Ilia is also fitted with Frahm's anti; rollingita,nks, -which have 'proved 81 uceessful on the 'Laconia. The passenger accommedation is rovicled on a scale commensurate ith -the great silo Of the ship. The CHAPTER XXXVI, Mr. Lang dragged Saant frail the win- dow and almost forced bira into a chair.

His home is in New York, shelf answers every purpose of a table and can be put down out of the way when not in use. An ordinary pie -chimney placed in the centre of a pan of milk pre- vents it boiling over. When it com- mences to boil it does so through the little chimney, and there is nob the slightest chance of its boiling over. For a bad throat put some gly- cerine on cotton wool. Put it on the front of the throa,t, then a piece of flannel on. There is nothing bet- ter than glycerine poultice. . To flower pansies in the home, sow the seed in shallow boxes :if sandy soil.

IESI OF SORGEOTS NERVE OPERATIONS PERFORMED EN- fillit IRVING CONDITIONS, Cool Work of Doctors in hospital While Building Was Aflre. few weeks ago workman en- gaged on the top of the roof of it tall building at Springfield, Masso dislocated his shoulder. ' It was im- possible to bring him clown, so a surgeon climbed up, and, coolly sits ting astride a girder, hundreds of feet above the crowded street, pro- teeded to chloreform the injured man and reduce the dislocation. To the ma.n in the street the skill of the surg-eon is always something of a miracle. To carve living flesh with steady hand and sere eye, to seeure each streaming vein, to re- move diseased organs, and then to mend up the wound so perfectly that ha,rdly a sear remains, seems to hint to require almost superhu- man skill. • Snprone Test. And there 11 no doubt but that a big operation calls for the very highest qualities that man posses_ 808. Even an the perfectly lit and perfectly appointed operating thea- tres of a great hospital, with e00e13' possible aid ht hand that modern science commands, the task is Ft severe one, Yet often and often the surgeon is called 1113011 tO perform opera- tions widiout any such aids and then the ordeal may he almor:t as severe for doctor as it is for pa- tient. For instance, in a railway acci- dent. One raw winter morning, two years age, a passenger alight- ing in a hurry from a, train at the little station of Earlestown, near Warrington, slipped and fell between the still moving train and the platform. A doctor, summoned in haste, found that the only possible meth- od of extricating the unfortunate man was to amputate one of his legs. Instruments were fetched, and as it was not yet daylight, a ring of porters ethocl round with station lanterns, while •other persons struck matches to assist the sur- geon. 'What made the horrible business more terrible was the fact that 11 was impossible to give the injured man chloroform. He renaained con- scious all through the operation. In spite of the cramped position in which the surgeon was compelled appliances, the operatioa was quickly and .successfully finished, toitsavtork, and the lack of light and and the sufferer removed to a hoa- r) operating 'Under Fire. Often in ,war time strgeons have Wail to operate on the battlefield, sometimes actually under fire. But it was. under fire cif a different sort that two doctors pert:armed an op- eration at the hospital at Bidde- ford, in the State of Maine. The •eperation was to remove an inter- nal ulcer, but five minutes after they liad begun it was discovered that the hospital was afire. . To meve the patient was to kill her. The surgeons stuck to their work. The roar of flames was plainly heard, anti the hiss of water from the fire hose. Presently wa- ter began th pour through the roof and pieties of wet plaster to fall thudding to the floor. The nurses put up umbrellas and held them over the patient and the doctors. No one dreamed of moving until all was finished and the wound sewn up, hen the patient was re- moved to a place of safety. oOtimo-ruf.i. 611./10.11.1..', ak1.12Err PRIME ppgaral) i,WNGILLETT COMPANY LOTED N FO MAKING SOAP -SOFTENING ATER Ensi FECTING CLOSETS,DRAINS.
