Elaborate arrangements have been completed for a banquet and other ap propriate festivities to be held to morrow in celebration of the comple tion of the new million dollar Hotel Patten in this city, said to be the finest hotel in the south. Many pub lic men and other persons of promi nence throughout the country have been invited to attend the banquet. Coaling Ships. in a Sea Way. Another use for the cable is for loading and unloading ships in places where there is no harbor within two miles or so cf the shore, as in many cases in South America, but a prettier use still and one where no other mech anism can take its place is in the pass ing of coal between two vessels, espe cially when both are moving at a rap id speed and the ocean is more or less rough. The first marine cableway was suc cessfully installed on the U. S. collier "Marcc-llus" where 20 to 24 tons of coal per hour were transferred, two bags being carried on each trip, and tlie speed of the ships being from r to C knots at the time. The second trial was on the British collier "Muriel" where 35 to 10 tons per hour were transferred over a moderate sea, and through a half gale of wind to H. M. S. Trafalgar, the battleship maintaining a speed of from S to 11 knots. Another experiment was made wit h the Russian battleship Retvizan, in which special electric hoists were designed by the General Electric Company to meet the requirements of the Russian navy. These had a speed of 1,200 feet, per minute for the full load or 2.000 feet per minute for half load. The best record was in the fall of 190, when the Royal Italian cruiser Liguira was coaled. In this case, the cables were guaranteed for 10 tons per hour, but actually passed !0 tons per hour, while the trial board reported the actual ca pacity as from 70 to SO tons. T. Ken nard ' Thompson, in The Engineering Magazine for April. The Design of Battleships. It has long been recognized that ev ery man-of-war represents a compro mise between conflicting military inter ests, and the science of naval architec ture has not yet developed an ideal relationship between these interests, nor will it probably ever be reached. For some reasons, speed is an almost paramount consideration, while for oth er purposes the one item ot prime importance is battery power. In either case a certain amount of one most be associated with the other: for the speed is of no avail unless the battery be at hand to back it up, and the bat tery is of slight value unless the speed be sufficient to nlace it within reach of the enemy. Protection and battery go largely hand in hand, an increase in the latter calling usually for a cor rf.cnnTi.lin2: increase in the former. This is not the case in extreme types, lmt ir is :i rrenerai principle, m le. In all nut. zj ships, however, certain sacniices oi one element have to be matte to meet demands for excessive provision in an other, and in no shin is this sacrifice more' marked than in that of small size.

PERFECT RECOVERY IS DUE TO CUTICURA 'With the exception of his hands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all in their power, yet nothing seemed to re lieve Turn. And I had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Many a time he looked as if his ears would drop off. Friends com ing to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. "When it seemed as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, I decided to try Cuticura. I bought, a cake of Cuti eura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. This may sound exaggerated to you, but in the morning there was a great change for the better. In about six weeks you could not have told that he had ever had any thing wrong with him. I treated him twice a day for six months and at present he has a fine complexion and not a scar on his body. This story may seem overdrawn, but neither words nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering and how he looked. Our leading phy sician. Dr. , recommends the Cuti cura Remedies for eczema.
