Ships of the Future.

A special to the " Philadelphia Public Ledger," dated New York, November 30, says :—A ship to be 1000 ft in length, 80ft wide, and 70ft deep, cf 45.C00 tons displacement, with a speed of thirty miles per hour, is coming, unless Dariua Davison, the naval and marine architect, is mistaken. Mr Davison is well known among the naval and marine constructors of this country, having been identified with the business for manyJyeara. He wade plans for rams and ether boats for the (Government during the war, and many of his ideas in the construction of fast steam vessels have been successfully adopted. Mr Davison is now working upon the plans for the 1000 ft vessel, Which is to be built in this country. He says that the essential feature of the new vesaal, as to shape of her hull, has been incorporated to a limited extent in the Lucania and Campania. This feature is the long tapeiing stern, running out be hind the vessel like the tail of a fish. It was still further applied in the building of the new United States watship Columbia. Mr Davison attributes the Colombia's high speed and that of the Campania and Lucania to the taper ing stern. That will be one of the main novel features about his 1000-feet ship. Although she will be 1000 ft In length on the water line, she will be only 700 ft in length on the deck. This is because she is to have a projecting bow and a project- Ing Btern, each 150 ft long. This is in direct contradiction to all the existing steamers, which are longer on the deck than on the water line. "The tapering stern, Mr Davison says, "allows the watnr to cloae in easily after the passage of the main body, and the vessel makes no drag or suction after her passage, which would be merely a pull on her strength and hold her back. The ex tended ends serve for buoyancy and divert and disperse the solid impact and percussive force of heavy seas from the mam fcody of the vessel. The easy run of the vessel by this method resembles exactly the tail of a fish, easily closing the channel cut so cleanly forward." The ship is to have four propellers so placed in deep s^lid water as not to race or interfere with each other, two being on each side of the keel. The engines to drive them are to be of 50,000 horse power, Mr Davison would not say where the leviathan is to be built er who are backing the scheme. But he asserted confidently that such a ship is coming, and that she will make the Atlantic passage in four days. "Whether the design of the cargo steamer known as "turret-deck" type is to be permanent or fcrans^ory time must prove, bat the advantages claimed for it are not likely to suffer neglect for want of fair trial. Two vessels of this type htve been buiit by the patentees, Messrs William Doxford and Sons, of Snnderland, and we understand that an order for another has just been booked. So far as can be at present judged, for seagoing qualities and efficiency in carrying capacity, Turret No. 1 is declared to have been a distinct success. No. 2 wap an improvement on the first vessel in several details, and is expected by her owners to achieve still better results, which will soon be ascer tained, for the vessel ia now returning from the Black Sea od her first voyage. No. 3 will further test the type, and in a measure decide its fate as a possible future oaeao carrier.

Female Suffrage.

For the first time in the history of the country, writes the " New York Nation " on November 16, the majority of the nmn in a State last week voted directly in favor of giving the women of that State the ballot on equal terms with them selves. The constitution of Colorado has a prevision that women suffrage shall be granted whenever the Legi lature chill submit the question to the qualified voters and they shall ratify it. fi ha laafe Legislature thus submitted it, and equal suffrage was carried on November 7 bf a majority of several thousand. Women voted for years in the territories of Utah, Wyoming, and Washington, but it waa only by act of the Legislature; and although Wyoming came into the union as a State with a constitution that forbids any denial or abridgment of the right; to vote and hold office on account of sex, this constitution was ra<ified m a whole, without any separate vote on fh@ suffrage clause. In Colorado, on the other hand, the question of extending the baUot to women w*s submitted to the polls as a separate proposition, and jt was the only State issue which was thus submitted this year, the elections being for county officials. The result consequently expresses the deliberate judgment of the men, and equal suffrage of the two sexes must be accepted here after as the settled policy of that com monwealth. There has been a notable change of sentiment on this question among the men ot Colorado during the past sixteen years, as in 1377 the same question was submitted and a similar pro position was rejected by a vote of two to oae. A woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution of Kansas will be sub mitted to the men of that State next autumn.

The Californian Thistle.

The •* Clutha Leader saya that out of twenty -two applications for the bonaa of £250 voted by Parliament to anyone bringing forward the best and must effective irethod for the eradicotion of the California thistle, only ten signified their intention of submitting to the test, and of the latter number only one put in an appearance on the day appointed by the Agricultural Depattraest, viz., Wed nesday last. This was Mr J. F. Camp bell, of Owake. The piece of land operated upon was a patch of between one and two acres of exceedingly thick, strong thistles on the Itknd, and each competitor was to have been allowed one eighth of an acre to test the qualities of his eradicator, Mr Campbell's specific is simply ra^v sulphur—sulphur quarried from the mine, melted, and then crushed. This he sows broadcast on the surface, and the first damp causes it to dissolve and percolate Into the ground, resulting in certain death to all plant and grub life. Mr Campbell assures the *• Leader" that his method is a com plete means of entirely eradicating the thistle —root and branch. There is no danger to stock being allowed to among the thistles treated with sulphur, : only that In the course p.f a shorb time every veefeige of feed will' be killed, and earth will appear quite black. It may be ploughed over and resown with grass in a few weeks' time, bub in order to allow the sulphur to do the deadly work in every root, It ia best to leave the land alone till the following spring, The Government propose to test the experi ment of Wednesday nine or twelve months hence. Mr Campbell declares tfiato fynd'can be cleared of palifor'nlan thistles, and" everything el^e for the time Wing, at a cost of 15s an acrs—3cwfc of of sulphur at 5a a cwt. This should how ever be greatly reduced were the supply of sulphur obtained from White Island on the coast, which is Ml of it, instead of from Europe.

New South Wales Parliament.

BK^eceive(^ January 24, 10.50 a.m. Sydney, January 24, After full consideration the Cabinet has decided that the best interests of the country will be served by not ac cepting Mr Copeland's resignation. Commenting on the matter the " Sydney Morning Herald" says it sees in the decision an instance of the lowering in the plane in public life which has been going on during past years. It points out that a charge of public misconduct ten years ago formed a ground for disqualification of a minister of the crown, but such con duct is now held to be adequately expiated by the verbal resignation of the offending minister which, however is not allowed to take effect. The article goes on to say "we have had within the past few years instances of steady depreciation in public affairs, which tells deplorably to the discredit of the colony. We have had ministers and ministry clinging to office under circumstances which would be re garded as necessitating resigna tion in any other British com munity. The pranks played upon the constitution of the colony for fac tion purposes and the retention of office under the circumstances are without precedent in any constitutional coun try." The "Daily Telegraph" says the incident further attests the increasing dimness of moral vision afflicting pub lic life. It is simply another instance of Government flouting Parliament to its face, and that institution feebly acquiescing in its own humiliation. At the close of the year the popula tion of the colony was estimated at 1,2-^B,ooo—an increase of 25,000. This is the smallest increase since the year 1876. The labor members' conference dis cussed the federation question, but dis posed of the subject by carrying a bald resolution that no scheme is acceptable without one-man one-vote.

Some Mean M. n.

The *' Age " reports that dishonesty of a paiticularly mean form has, according to information whiih has reached the Public Works Department, been practised by many employers of labor in the country in connection with the system of issuing free passes to unemployed men who left Melbourne In search of employment. A great number of these passes were dis tributed, one of the conditions on which they were given being that the amount of the railway fare should be deducted by the employers from the firsb month's wages falling due to the men, the em- j ployera being of course onder an obliga- j tion to remit the amount to the depart* ment. A great number of passes were f&sued on these conditions, as may be judged from the' fact that the Public Works Department had to pay the Railway Commissioners £2000 on account of them. In many cases the obligation has been faithfully met, bub in a great many others no return whatever has been offered to the department. Enquiries were recently made aa to the cause of this, and in nearly all the cases that have been investigated up to the present has been i found that amounts representing the rail way fares were actually deducted from the men'sVages, but dishonestly retained by the employers. The Bwindle was first re vealed when some men who had received passes on the conditions named made ap plication after a time for fresh ones, which were refused on the ground tha,t the value of those previously given had not been repaid to the department. The men were able to furnish cleat proof that the money had been deducted from their wages. This dishonest practice has been carried on in some cases by well-to-do farmers, and in one instance by a wealthy squatter Tt is the intention of the Secretary for Public Works to take'steps to recover the

THE WEATHER.

- Taking advantage of the two or three I days of good weathur at; the end of last week and beginning of this week tarraeis set to work at harvesting in real earnest and a very considerable area of grain was got down and in stook, and ib was hoped that much of what was cut would be got into stack in fair condition before another break occurred, and the area of standing corn was very considerably reduced, I These hopes were somewhat disappointed by a change that took place in the weather last night. Tuesday had been more or less muggy, following on a threatening previous night, but rain did I not fall. Tuesday evening was warm, ' and as night came on the temperature was quite sultry. Very early this morning however, rain began to fall, and continued lin a steady downpour tilt about midday, when it somewhat abated, although oc casional drizzles followed for an hour, j and the afternoon was still wet until about two o'clock when the sky gradually presented a more cheering though stfll doubtful aspect. The results of a continuance of this sort of thing will be disastrous, and we regret to say that the rain has been quite general over the South Island. A Christchurch telegram speaks in doleful terms of the heavy rain there and northwards. From Timaru we learn that there had been rain through the nighc, very heavy for four or five hours—disastrous weather for harvesting.
