"The small size of tho screw," says a noted shipbuilder, "is not due to the perception of any inventor of its greater effect as compared with a larsf r one, but purely to accident. When I first en gaged in the machinery business, screws for steamers were made as large as possible, it being the theory that tH greater the diameter the higher the speed. A vessel was gent to sea with a screw so large that it was deemed best to cast each blade in two parts and then weld tbem together. During a storm all three blades cf the propeller broke at the welding, reducing the diameUr by more than two-thirds. To the surprise of the captain the vessel shot forward at a six-ed euch as had never been attained before.. Engineers then experimented with small propellers and discovered that they were much more effective than large ones. Had it not been for that accident we might Lave gene on using large bladed screws to the present dav. " Loudon Star. Returned to Flnt Principle.

All the newspapers issued special bulletins. A man had been seen walking yes, walking on his own legs. The Cyclopolitans could hardly be lieve their eyes, but so it was, and the wonderful stranger, we are assured, amassed a large fortune by giving les sons ia walking, which soon became the fashionable sport.

Under tho broiling sun of Italy or Spain we find English travelers asking for a grilled fteak cr roast beef. Of course the steak is touph, tasteless and indigestible, the "msbif" raw in the center, thongh burned outside, nasty in flavor and leathery in substance thus constituting the most unsuitable article cf diet that could be taken under the circumstances. Then the Englishman will pay Is. 3d. for a 4L bottleof Eng lish ale, which is far too heavy and alcoholic for tho climate, instead of drinking the pure wine of the country that is supplied without stint and gra tuitously at all meals. These British peculiarities have done much to destroy the advantages of foreipi travel and to reudfT the better known hotebj, which are frequented by English families, as expensive as the hotels in England. The exixTieiiced continental traveler who has learned to do at Rome as tho Romans do very carefully avoids tho hotels frequented by the English. He is consequently treated with much great er civility, is fed on dishes which the natives know how to cook and which the expe rience of centuries has proved to lie bettor suited to th cliaiate and economises something like iO per cent cn the cost of living.

Once in awhile the dcael letter office gets a chance to pay tribute to the epistolary habits of women. A young woman of New Ycrkcity recently wrote a le tter to her father, then traveling in the west It was an important letter, filled with questions to which the writ er, after the manner of voincn, wanted an answer "right off."' No clew to the sender appeared upon the envelope, however, and even inside the girl simply signed herself "your loving daugh ter."
