An Ocean Steamer's History.

The American liner Philadelphia, 1 which sailed from Southampton a day ) or two ago on her maiden voyage tinder j her new came, has had one of the moat | romantic histories of any ocean steamer. When she waa-launched at Olydebank Id.IBBB with tha name of the Oity of Pai.il t«be was regarded with maoh in- j tf.re.fc by .kipawner®, as it was be lieved that, owing to her construction, ! ihe was anrinkabl*. Twice over she bm proved that she 'is*, not as other ocean steamers aa regards her tenacity ©f life. In March 1890 m accident to one of her engines -made a rent in her aids wilich Would ' have inevitably proved "fatal to her in mid-ocean were ii not,' .that tier water tight com partments proved equal to the straia put upon..them, and Bhe came into port so disabled indeed that it look a year to repair the injury done to the ship and engines, bat still she Eurvived. Then came » period of sue .jes-.ul record breaking ; and then again in May 1899 she met with another accident, worse than the first. She ran full speed on the dreaded Manacle Books, where only a few months before; another Atlantic liner waa totally lost. Bat do such fate awaited the Paris, aa ._jhe was then called. After lying for several, weeks on the rocks exposed to all the chances o. wind and weather in the English Channel, she was got off leaky indeed, but still able to floy% and now more thin two years after she was stranded on the Manacles she starts with a new name, to meet, it m»y be hoped, a better "fate.

The Hottest Spot on Earth.

Two hundred miles sooth of Death Valley, In almost a straight; line, Is the famous Colorado Desert, which, If possible !s even more horrible than Death Valley St-olf, although, of course, this includes bat a small portion of the area of the Scale which, aa a whole, Is one of the nrss fertile in the Union. Ib covers 9000 fqaare miles, and in some parts it. bottom h 220 feat below tide mark.

Bailable authorities assert that it ia the most intensely hot spot on the face of the earth ; the Sahara i_ nowhere comp ared with It; Its surface may fairly be ■a:d to be strewn with fie bones of human beings who have lost their lives there.

Oae might call this the ideal desert of the world; la no o-hsr of tbe earth's most fearfal wastes can be found each natural conditions of horror, Ivan tha mirage, tempter of the dying traveller's despair, reaohflsa more extraordinary development there than anywhere else. On any fine day—and io that region all day, are fine, because there ia no rain—one may behold In the Colorado Desert, where all ishopeleas misery aronnd, beautifnl lakes, tempting verdure, and even towns within distances comparatively email.
