biggest anil long
est vessel that was

Her launching will
tnko place next
Jnnuary. A year
from this time sho
PKnKr will bo voyaging
between New York nntl Liverpool.
Contrary to custom, her name has been
selected In' advance, and this queen of
tho ocean will bear on her stern tho
letters that form tho word "Oceanic."
Sho will be 705 feet long, 25 feet In
excess of tho length of tho Great East
ern. Her depth will bo little raoro
than 50 feet, her mean draught being
h
5 feet, and her beam a trifle less than
L)83 feet. In this latter respect only Is

Improvement for which transatlantic
travelers have In vain slched nlenty
l( of room. Tho additional space which
me greatly increased size of tho ves
sel will afford Is not to bo utilized to
ward increasing the number ot state
rooms as much as toward making tho
state rooms larger. It will also be
possible for a traveler to secure a room
to himself. In fact, tho Oceanic will
be arranged as greatly as possible upon
the basis principle of a great modern
botel; not tho floating hotel that so
many lines advertise, but tho bona
fide article.
In very many respects the Oceanic
will merely bo an enlarged counter
part of tho Teutonic and Majestic, two
THE "OCEANIC,"
of the most popular passenger steam
ships that ply between New York and
European ports. Thero aro no start
ling innovations from a structural
standpoint, and no effort will be made
to placo her at tho front of tho fleet
that are known as ocean greyhounds.
Nevertheless, her engine capacity will
be sufficient, it Is believed, to tako her
ncrosB tho Atlantic In four days. The
present time record is a little moro
than flvo days and four hours. Tho
total combined horso power of the
Oceanic will bo 45,000. That of tho
Lucanla and Campania Is 18,000. Sho
will have three sets of triple expansion
engines, tho capacity ot each of which
will bo 15,000 horso power. She win
nlso have throe Ecrows, ono moro than
the usual equipment. Therefore, al
though a much higher sea speed than
thnt not contemplated Is qulto practi
cable from an engineering point ot
view, It has been determined as far
as possible to aim at a regular Wednes
day morning arrival, tooth In Now York
nnd in Liverpool, making the Irish
Channel and Quecnstown by daylight,
and enabling passengers who may bo
traveling to places beyond tho
port ot arrival to proceed to,
and in tho majority of cases
reach, their destination with
comfort during tho day. At the same
time tho vessel is to be so construct
ed that tho motion ot even tho winter
seaB will not bo felt with anything like
tho severity that ordinarily afflicts
tboso who travel In winter by steam
ship. It Is expected that the service
of the Oceanic will be continuous, re
gardless seasons.
To Toad of tho dimensions of tho
Oceanic hardly gives an adequate Idea
of her tremendous size. Her model
BhowB that she will be beautifully pro
portioned, and so, llko a very largo
man of fine physique, sho will not look
'her size unless botoo object be placed
beside heT enabling comparisons. For
'Instance, tho Ethiopia, of the Anchor
line at (steamships, that plies between
Glasgow and Now York, ould bo al
most placed between docks aboard tho
Oceanic, While I have never seen the
steamer Northwest, which travels tho
Great Lakes In tho United States, the
dimensions which I have read of nor
depth, length and beam show that sho
Is hardly half ns long as tho Oceanic
will bo, and of depth and beam propor
tionate thereto. She will bo more than
a third larger than tho steamships
which ply between San Francisco and
Japanese and Australian ports. Sho
wltl possess but two smokestacks, It
Is true, but either of theso arc ot suf
ficient size to permit of an opening be
ing made through them largo enough
to admit of tho passago of a doublo
team from a farm wagon.
Her promenade deck Is tlirco blocks
long. There Is almost sufficient space
tn play n game of baso ball, and cer
tainly hand ball could bo played vlth
out difficulty. It Is among tho plans
of tho builders of the boat to so ar
range a portion of tho deck that golf
can bo played thereon. Twcnty-ono
lifeboats, each capablo of carrying
forty-fivo persons, will bo secured to
davits on each sldo of her upper works.
Tho captain, or whatever officer may
be upon the bridge, will have a prom
enade of an eighth of a mile, when ho
wishes tho exercise. Thcro will bo as
much room tn tho main saloon ns in
an ordinary theater. Regarding her
fittings, a representative of tho Whlto
Star line, to which she will belong, told
mo tho other day that tn point of ele
gance they would far exceed anything
now nftoat. The arrangements for the
comfort of the passengers In rough
weather will be such that It will re
quire a very heavy sea Indeed to mako
one uncomfortable. It has been a com
mon source of complaint among trans
atlantic passengers that tho furniture,
of a steamship was built on the land
principle that Is, as If tho traveler
was never going to recelvo any shocks
or bo likely to bo thrown about. It Is
tho Intention to remedy this difficulty
In fitting up tho Oceanic, so that there
will be no hard corners for a passenger
to be thrown against, something that
would bo very greatly appreciated.

the homo of old
Chief l'okngon nnd
his baud and the
blrlhplnco of the
ptcscnt chief, Si
mon l'okngon, who Is now engaged In
writing his father's biography. Thero
Ih nothing nbout tho spot to indlcato
that It was ever a placo of human
hnbltatron. In a vnllcy running
back from the St. Joseph river about
a mllo to the west, at tho head of a
rippling, winding little brook, Bitr
rounded by hills and on two sUIoh by
henvy oak forests, It lies, n peaceful,
picturesque little nook of farm land
rarely ever cultivated, seldom visited
wive by the fanner's boy who goes to
bring home the cowb grazing whero
tho wigwams stood n half century ngo,
or by tho rollc hunter who knows Its
history. It Is hidden from tho highway
nnd not n tincc of tho old town 1b left.
How old It wns no ono now living enn
tell. Tho few log huts that Pokagon
and his followers with their llttlo fam
ilies occupied looked to tho first whlto
settlers who saw them Blxty-Bovon
years ago, nB If they woro nbout ready
to tumblo down nnd they might have
been built seventy-Iva or 100 years
beforo that time. Probably an Indlnn
vlllago had been thcro nround tho bub
bling spring thnt formed the source
of tho llttlo brook for many genera
tions. Tho numerous rollca of tho
stono and copper variety found In tho
vicinity would Indlcato this.
Pokagon wns a pious Indlnn. On ono
of the hills overlooking tho vlllngo
waa a log chapel whero ho nnd his
peoplo worshiped according to tho
rites of tho Catholic church, taught
them by their fathers. How long tho
chnpcl hnd been built Is not known,
but It may havo been ono of tho mis
sions established moro than 200 years
ago by Father Clnudo Alloucz, tho
pioneer missionary of tho region,
whose ashes aro reposing somewhere
along tho St. Joseph river, tho exact
spot of his burial place not being
known. In 1759 tho EngllBh drove tho
French from this region and took pos
session of tho territory, dissolving all
theso missions. They were not re-established
for nearly 100 years after
ward, and during that period, although
the Indians wcro deprived of tho caro
nnd instruction ot tho priests, they did
not forgot tho forms of tho church.
In tho latter part of tho '20s Poka
gon mado a pilgrimage to Detroit to
lmploro tho church authorities to send
a "black robe," tho Indian nanio for
priest, among IiIh people. H1b speech
to tho vlcnr-gencrnl of tho bishop of
Cincinnati, Father Gabriel Richard, on
this occasion, Ib on record. It wns nn
earnest ami effective plea. "I implore
you," he said, "to send us n black robo
to teach us tho word of God. If you
havo no caro for ub old men, at laat
havo pity on our poor children, who
nro growing up In Ignorance nnd vice.
"We still prcservo tho manner of
prayer as taught our ancestors by tho
black robo who formerly resided at St.
Joseph. Morning and evening with
my wlfo and children wo pray together
beforo tho crucifix. Sunday we pray
together oftoner. On Friday wo fast
all evening, men, women and children,
according to tho traditions handed
down to ub by our fathers and mothors,
for wo havo never seen a blnck robo.
Listen to tho prayers which ho taught
to them and see It I have not learned
them correctly." Thon tho old chief
fell on his knees, made tho signs and
repcuted the prayers of tho church, tho
creed and tho ten commandments in
tho Pottawattomie tonguo.
The result ot tho plea was the send
ing of Father Stephen Theodoro Ba
dln, tho first Catholie priest ordained
fn the United States, who came to In
diana In 1829 and for several years
had charge of all tho missions in
southern Michigan and northern Indi
ana. Ho established n mission two
miles north ot South Bend that eventu
ally developed Into tho grent Notre
Damo university of today. Ho was tho
religious Instructor of Pokagon's band
as long as they stayed nt tho old vll
lago and thero are a number of old
residents of tho vicinity that heard
Father Badln preach In the llttlo log
church on tho hill. Tho church Itself
has long since been taken uway, but
tho foundation remains. Down tho
valloy on tho bank of the river was tho
burying plnco of Pokagon town and
tho old cedar cross with Its holzontal
arm gone Is still standing, it was
there when tho first whlto settlers camo
Into tho region.
Pokagon Is represented by some his
torical writers as tho leader of a band
of Pottnwattomles in a battle with tho
ShawnecB In the days before tho whites
at Thrco Rivers, but this can bo classed
as fiction, as Pokagon was wholly
averse to fighting, nnG his whole aim
was to keep his people from war.
Again, he Is said to have been at the
massacre of Fort Dearborn In 1812 in
the capacity ot peacemaker and to have
bcon the one who brought Capt, Hcald
and his wlfo away fiom tho bloody
affray at Chicago and across the lake
to St. Joseph. This Is not believed to
bo true by some of the older residents,
who were acquainted with Pokagon.
He never made any Buch claim to
them, though ho had been beard to
JU'1;
rasas
Iff
say thnt ho v.bpiI nil his power to keep
tho Pottnwattomles in thnt locality
from taking pnrt In the mnsBacro, nnd
hlmsolt went to St. Joseph to dissuade
Topluaboo from faking his mon thcro.
Pokagon doubtless wns with Toplnnbco
nnd wan ono of those who received
Co.pt. Henhl nt St. Joseph nnd helped
him to get to Mncklnac nnd Detroit.
The most authentic records of tho mas
sacre to bo hnd glvo tho credit of as
sisting Capt. llrnld nnd his wlfo to
escape to John UnptlBto Chandonla, n
nephew of Toplnnbco, nnd who died
nt South Hcnd In 1837, nnd whoso re

signing of which nearly broke hlfl

THE LANGUAGE OF CRIME.
Some of the Term Aro Very Inter
esting. Every language hnB a syntax pecul
iar to Itself, but in tho pntots ot the
criminal no nttempt Ib mnde of chang
ing nnythtng but tho lexicon, snyB tho
Popular Science Monthly. It bears tho
same resemblance to tho pnrcnt lan
guage thnt n pile of cogwheels docs to
a watch. They nro not n watch, but
neither nro they a new machine. ThtiB
wo must regard tho argot only ns n
dialect In which debased terms rcplnco
tho wordB ot tho parent tongue, In
which the Innate laziness of tho crim
inal hnB effaced nil words of nny length
nnd hnB simplified tho pronunciation
wherever tho correct form requires
anything but an elementary combina
tion ot Bounds.
Iet us cxnmlno somo of these trans
formations nnd synonyms.
Tho general tendonsy of the criminal
to reduoo tho nbstrnct to tho concrete
to denote tho substnntlvo by one of Its
attributes, Is shown very clearly In bin
synecdochlcal phraseology. Thus n
purso Is a leather; a street car Is n
short, comparing its length with n rail
road car; n handkerchief Is a wipe,
and a pntr of shoes a pair of kicks.
Again, Bomo of tho terms nppcnr to
bo purely arbitrary and wcro It not
that tho crcatlvo power Is absent In
criminals as In women I should not
hcsltato to stato It as n fact. But It
scemB wiser to concludo merely that
the origin ot theso terms has becomo
a fact. To suppose that they were cre
ntcd would bo In too dlBtlnet contra
diction to all obtainable evidence, In
direct though It may bo. Such expres
sions nro to kip, meaning to sleep; to
spiel, to mako a speech ; Jervo, a waist
coat pocket; thimble, a watch; to do n
lam, meaning to run.
Somo of tho expression nro very de
scriptive. To run from a pollco officer
Is to do a hot foot. A person who Is al
ways listening to other people's con
versation Ib called n rubberneck. Tho
word puBh, meaning n crowd, Ib occa
sionally seen In tho nowspapc 8. To be
arrested Is to bo pinched; to bo con
victed Is to fall. To refuse n person's
appeal Is to glvo him tho marblo heart.
Such exptcsslons require no explana
tion. A Ilrave Kangaroo.
A very pathetic story comes fiom
Australia describing a kangaroo's dar
ing for the sako of her young. Tho
owner of a country station was sitting
ono evening on tho balcony outsldo his
houBO when ho was surprised to notice
a kangaroo lingering about, alternate
ly approaching nnd retiring from tho
houso, as though half In doubt and fear
whnt to do. At last she approached
tho water path), and, taking a young
ono from her pouch, held It to the wa
ter to drink. While the baby was sat
isfying Its thirst the mother was quiv
ering all over with excitement, for she
was only a few feet from the balcony
on which ono ot her greatest foes was
sitting wachtng her. Tho little one,
having finished drinking, It. was re
placed in the pouch and tho old kan
garoo etarted off nt a rapid pace. When
tho natural timidity of tho kangaroo
is taken Into account, It will bo recog
nized what astonishing bravery this
affectionate mother displayed.
A Had Name.
"A. Swindlo" is the nnmo that np
pears over 'tho ofllco door of a strug
gling lawyer In tho city of Stratford,
Ontario. A friend of the unfortunate
gentloman suggested tho advisability
of his writing out his name In full,
thinking that Arthur or Andrew Swin
dle, as the caso might be, would sound
better nnd look better than tho signifi
cant "A. Swindlo." When tho lawyer,
with tears In his eyes, whlsporcd to him
that his namo was Adam, tho friend
understood and was silent.

Is that it should bo Inconspicuous, or
If It Is where It must bo scon, It should
not suffer In comparison with tho tin
