Is a swimming pool, squash court, ten

deck golf course on the top deck.
The now ship has eleven decks, two
morn than that tall ship the Kalserln
Aug'tsto Victoria. There are three
passenger lifts or elevators in the first
class and one In the second class. The
bridge deck promenade Is 550 feet
long, and this gives a good Idea of the
huge scale that the vessel is built on.

On the bridge and shelter decks

First Transatlantic Liner.
The tlrst steam equipped vessel
crossed tho Atluutic ocenu nearly a
hundred years ago. In 1810 William
Scarborough, Ignoring the criticism of
nn unbelieving public, started n small
craft, the Savannah, of about 350 tons,
from the town for which she was
named for Liverpool. Before altera
tion she was a sailing packet built on
tho East river, In New York. Scar
borough installed engines nnd fitted
her with u pair of Ingeniously arranged
paddle wheels constructed In such a
wny that during heavy weather they
could bo shipped aboard out of harm's
way. After a go' 1 voyage of twenty
eight days, lasting from May 22 to
Juno 20, she dropped anchor In the
Mersey. She had used her engines for
eighty hours during tho trip. Her fuel
consisted of seventy tons of coal and
twenty-five cords of wood.
In 1833 n Canadian boat, the Itoyal
William, made tho transatlantic trip
with steam power alone. Then came
tho United States, nn American boat
250 feet long and 50 feet wide, draw
ing 80 foot She cut down the time of
passage to thirteen days. This was In
'a

i
1a17. ' tie life as, one of the merchant j
uJirlne was short for after making f
one round trip she1 was sold to the
Prussian government ns n steam frls
ate. t
Between 1847 nnd 18.10 an I'iirIIhIi
ship-was launched, the Great Britain,
which marked nn epoch In ocean going
ships. She Was designed by Brunei,
the great engineer of the time, tind
marked a now departure In being the
first of the Iron steamships Before
her time nil hulls had been of wood.
Also Brunei demonstrated the ellielen
cy of the screw propeller and replaced
the paddle wheels with screws. She
was 322 feet long, CI feet wide mid
drew 32 feet She made her first trip
In fifteen days at tho average speed
of 0 knots an hour.
At this time Samuel Cunnrd left Hal
Ifttx, N. S.. nnd went to Liverpool.
There ho met George Burns nnd David
Mnclver, forming with them tho pres
ent Cunard line. Four ships were
built. Tho Britannia, -207 feet long
and 32 feet broad, was the first of the
four. She left Liverpool on .Inly 4,
1S40, and came into Boston harbor
.luly 10 amid great rejoicing. In 1844
the merchants cut n channel In the Ice
for tho Britannia to leave the harbor.
In 1847 the Britannia won n trans
atlantic race against nn American boa,
called the Washington. Great enthu
slasm was roused over the issue, and
immediately nfter this event a com
pany was formed hended by E., K. Col
litis. Four ships were built, and in
1851 the Pacific crossed the ocean
? ,
... 1 s v
from New York to Liverpool In four
hours less than ten days. This record
was afterward beaten by the Arctic,
n sister ship, which lowered the time
some hours. The Collins line's record
was brilliaut while It lnstod. but both
tho Pnciflc and tho Arctic were lost
ut sen with all on board some time
later.
The Great Eastern.
An English syndlcnte called on Mr.
Brunei for a ship which would bo able
to make the trip to Australia aud bnck
at an average speed of 18 knots an
hour. Out of this grew the commer
cial failure, tho Groat Eastern. She
was 080 foot long and 83 feet wide.
Paddle wheels nnd screw propellers
were her means of propulsion, nnd
while she proved to be a white ele
phant commercially she did the world a
great service by laying tho first Atlan
tic cable and later two others. In
18SS she was broken up and sold for
old iron.
Iu 1655 the Vanderbllt of 3,300 tons
was launched and on her first trip
eastward cut the time ngaln to nine
days nnd eight and a half hours. Then
in 18S0 the City of Paris of the Inman
lino lowered tho record ngaln by cross
(ing In five nnd a half days. Tho year
1800 saw the Cunnrd liners lower It
again to flvo aud a quarter days, and
now we have the four day wouders,
the Mauretanla and Lusltanla.

SAYS EXERCISE
PREVENTS CRIME
Furnishes Safe Vent For Animal
Spirits, Declares Gymnast.
SURE CURE FOR IRRITABILITY
Found In Deep Breathing and Slmplo
Play For the Muscles Soothing
Process For Nervous Temperaments.
Exercise as Beneficial as Food,
Physical exercise is the greatest
agency for crime prevention. ' So de
clares Miss Faith Taylor, gymnast and
foremost graduate from the Sargent
gymnasium, Boston.
Not only Is it a crime preventative,
says this fair theorist, but It is a cure
for nil social ills. In explaining her
favorite theories Miss Taylor said:
"There is no doubt that there would
be much less crime if people took more
physical exercise. There are thou
sands of people who are endangering
their own health nnd happiness nnd
that of those about them because they
are not conscious that their bodies nre
hungry for want of exercise. There
nre a host of these people who have
no aliment thnt medicine can cure.
They come and go to their work, their
studies or whatever they are doing Ir
ritable with themselves aud with every
one about them.
"People of this class of tho more
phlegmatic temperament possess more
or icss self control, but those of the
more hnsty temperament often lose
control of themselves nt.the slightest
provocation. Environment has much
to do with this condition. For exam
ple, a iwrson who lives in an over
crowded, poorly ventilated house nmld
noise nnd more or less dirt, with a high
strung temperament, Is more apt to
give way to acts of violence than one
of tho same temperament who lives
under quiet nnd better regulated con
ditions. Irritability an Ailment.
"However, if these overstrung and
overwrought icople would rocogulze
their ailment for It is an ailHientand
take occasional exercise, whether in
walking or playing ball or some sim
ple gymnastic forms of exercise and
by taking deep breaths, this condition
of Irritability would soon be remedied.
"Many crimes occur Impulsively be
cause of the tremendous strain under
which people live and work. Too many
people full to recognize the fact that
physical training benefits the mind as
well ns tho body. That Is. by health
ful exercNe our morals are Improved.
We are brought Into the right mental
attitude toward life because of the
more normal workings of our physical
functions.
"The old Idea that one who devoted
time to physical training was neglect
ing the mind Is wrong. We hnve al
ways before us the example of the
Greeks, who excelled In nil manner
of athletic sports aud proved tho su
periority of their Intellectual powers ns
well as tho perfection of their bodily
prowess.
Best Exercise.
"There are certain exercises, snob
ns deep breathing, twisting nnd bend
ing the body until tho hands touch tho
floor without bending the kneos, nnd
other gymnastics of a similar nature
which every person can easily per
form and which glvo us the necessary
outlet for our animal spirits. These
exercises if performed correctly nre
tho first aid to health of mind and
body. People who systetntlcolly go
through such exercJaea and complain
that they receive little benefit from
them are undoubtedly not doing them
correctly.
"There is another form of exercise
which is especially beneficial to tho
man working tinder n strain namely,
deep breathing. If people will devote
a few minutes occasionally to tnklng
long, deep breaths In tho open nlr it
will Iw soon plain to each of' them thnt
much of tho nervous strain and Irri
tability have been diminished. Exercise
Is nlmost ns beneficial to tho health of
the Individual ns food and water."
BARS WOMAN LAWYER.
Judge Says Georgia Law Recognizes
Only Men at the Bar.
After graduating with honors from
tho Atlanta (Ga.) Law school and be
ing complimented by her professore ns
the brightest member of the class of
1C11, Miss MInnIo Anderson Hale,
twenty-two years old, failed to get a
license to practice law from Judge
Pendleton of the superior court.
Judge Pendleton granted licenses to
rfeveral young men who were members
of Miss Anderson's class, but when the
young woman's name was called he
told her thnt tho constitution nnd laws
of Georgia provide for male attorneys
only; hence he refused a license to Miss
Ilnle.
Friends of Miss Halo aro Indignant
nnd say that they will take tho matter
before tho legislature.
