 NEW YORK, 80UTHflMPT0N.^'HflMBURG. 
 
 THE fleet of Twin-Screw Steamships 
 of the Hamburg-American Packet 
 Company now consists of the 
 Augusta-Victoria and Furst Bismarck, 
 built by the Vulcan Shipbuilding Co. in 
 Stettin ; the Columbia, built by Laird 
 Bros, in Birkenhead on the Mersey, and 
 the NoRMANNiA, built by John Elder & 
 Co. in Govan, Scotland, and with these 
 vessels the Hamburg-American Packet 
 Company maintains a weekly Express 
 Service, offering the American public 
 the convenience of reaching England 
 and the European Continent with abso- 
 lute safety, in the shortest possible time, 
 and with a degree of comfort as yet 
 unexcelled. 
 
 These magnificent new steamers have 
 from the start attracted general attention 
 in Europe and America on account of 
 their construction as well as their mar- 
 velous achievements. The twin-screw 
 system, and with it the division of the 
 ship into two halves, each equipped with 
 a complete set of machinery, proved a 
 great success, and obtained results 
 beyond anything previously achieved. 
 The problem which the owners and 
 designers intended to solve in building 
 these vessels was to produce ships 
 which would offer absolute safety, and, 
 at the same time, be able to make the 
 swiftest voyages with the greatest com- 
 fort to the passengers. To realize this 
 they spared neither trouble nor expense, 
 and have now the satisfaction of seeing 
 
before them, in their new steamers, 
 models of the latest phase of marine 
 architecture, advancing far beyond any- 
 thing previously attempted ; as beautiful 
 in outline as they are practical in their 
 interior arrangements, and absolutely 
 perfect in the three requirements of 
 modern ocean travel, 
 
 SAFETY, SPEED and COMFORT. 
 What first strikes the observer are the 
 graceful lines which run from the sharp, 
 straight stem to the well-rounded stern. 
 Three funnels rise from the hurricane 
 deck, which, although of huge dimen- 
 sions, only serve to bring out the sym- 
 metry of the whole. The AuGUSTA- 
 ViCTORiA and Columbia have three 
 masts, the Normannia and FiJRST Bis- 
 marck two, which are low and without 
 yards, so as to offer the least resistance. 
 So beautiful are the lines of these ships 
 that it is difficult for the spectator to 
 realize their immense size. These 
 leviathans have a length of 465 to 510 
 feet, a width of 56 to 58 feet, and a depth 
 of 38 to 40 feet; are of 7,363 to 8,874 
 tons register, and their engines develop 
 the force of 13,000 to 16,000 horses. 
 They have five decks, constructed sol- 
 idly of steel and teak wood, the upper 
 decks ending in strong turtle-backs at 
 the bow and stern. 
 
 SAFETY. 
 
 THE first consideration which the 
 builders had in view was that of 
 absolute safety, and they have built 
 ships which are practically unsinkable. 
 Many novel features have been intro- 
 duced to bring this about, of which the 
 principal ones are here set forth : 
 
 A steamer, as litherto constructed, had 
 its boiler and engine, its shaft and screw ; 
 
but these new vessels have their whole 
 working machinery duplicated. There 
 are two distinct sets of boilers, two en- 
 gines, two shafts and two screws, both 
 sets working independently of each 
 other, and separated by a longitudinal 
 bulkhead dividing the vessel into two 
 non-communicating halves, of which 
 each is fully equipped to propel the 
 ship. This is the great principle of the 
 twin-screw steamers, and the extraor- 
 dinary degree of safety secured by this 
 system is obvious, for an accident to 
 one side of the ship can in no wise affect 
 the other, whose machinery will con- 
 tinue to work and propel the ship with 
 perfect ease, and at a high rate of 
 speed. 
 
 Each side of the ship is again sub- 
 divided into numerous water-tight com- 
 partments which do not communicate 
 with each other. The hull of the ship 
 has a double bottom, the space between 
 being divided into chambers, which can 
 be filled with water or emptied by means 
 of automatic pumps, thus increasing or 
 decreasing the draught at will, and 
 guarding against accidents from ground- 
 ing. 
 
 The enormous engines of 6,500 to 
 8,000 horse-power each, making a total 
 of 13,000 to 16,000 horse-power, are of 
 the triple-expansion type, and construc- 
 ted of the finest steel. 
 
 The screws are of manganese bronze, 
 with three or four blades of 18 feet 
 diameter and 32 feet pitch. The bosses 
 are of steel and are 4 feet 6 inches in 
 diameter. 
 
 SPEED. 
 
 HTHESE steamers must be counted 
 
 * among the fastest ships afloat. The 
 
 best time accomplished was 6 days ii 
 
 hours 44 minutes from New York to 
 
Southampton, being the fastest. trip ever 
 made between these two ports. This is 
 equal to a trip of 5 days 20 hours from 
 New York to Queenstown, Southampton 
 being about 300 miles east from Queens- 
 town. The time by rail from Southamp- 
 ton to London is less than 2 hours, while 
 the time from Queenstown, via Liver- 
 pool, to London, is at best over 24 
 hours. The landing arrangements at 
 Southampton are considered superior 
 to those of any other port in England, 
 the trains starting from the docks 
 and the Hamburg-American Packet 
 Company's special trains awaiting the 
 passengers there. During the past year 
 these steamers have maintained a regu- 
 lar fast weekly Express Service between 
 New York, Southampton and Hamburg, 
 taking passengers to London within 7 
 days, and to Hamburg within 8 days, 
 while the actual average ocean passage 
 is reduced to a little more than 6 days. 
 This line, according to the annual report 
 of the U. S. Superintendent of Foreign 
 Mails, takes the first place over all others 
 in the conveyance of the mails between 
 New York and London. Their great 
 regularity is indicated by the fact that 
 almost all trips were made within a 
 margin of a few hours. The arrival at 
 New York, Southampton or Hamburg 
 can therefore be easily forecast. 
 
 Passengers leaving New York on 
 Thursday are landed in Southampton 
 on the following Thursday, reaching 
 London on the ^ame day, thus bringing 
 them from New York to London in 
 less than a week (it has been done in 
 6 days 14 hours, a feat not equaled by 
 any other line). This shows the won- 
 derful convenience which these steamers 
 offer to the traveling public. 
 
 The fastest runs were about 20^ 
 knots per hour, which is equal to 23^^ 
 
— 7- 
 
 EngHsh miles, and exceeds the speed of 
 transcontinental trains.

 COMFORT. 
 
 'T'HE comfort and elegance displayed 
 ' on these steamers are unsurpassed. 
 The large and luxurious saloons, the 
 ladies' boudoirs, the music and smoking 
 rooms and the staterooms generally are 
 fitted up in magnificent style, the best 
 European artists having been retained 
 to design, decorate and furnish them. 
 It has been the aim of the Company to 
 relieve passengers of all annoyances 
 which were heretofore considered in- 
 separable from a sea voyage, and pro- 
 vide for them the same accommodations 
 that can be obtained in a first-class hotel. 
 Among the many improvements con- 
 tributing to the passengers' comfort 
 will be found larger and more commo- 
 dious staterooms, with most luxurious 
 toilet conveniences and large beds, 
 thorough methods of ventilation, ample 
 deck-room for exercise, spacious dining- 
 saloons, ladies' saloon on the promenade 
 deck, also a large music-room, the ab- 
 sence of all offensive odors or noises, 
 and a complete and first-class service 
 throughout, with the conveniences of 
 barber shop, bath and toilet rooms, etc. 
 
No Overcrowding. — There is no 
 overcrowding on these steamers, the 
 number of passengers being limited to 
 the seating capacity.

 jQfiditerraiieaii Express Lme. 
 
 BETWEEN 
 
 NEW YORK, ALGIERS, NAPLES and GENOA. 
 
 |URING the winter months the mag- 
 nificent twin-screw express steam- 
 ers of the Hamburg -American 
 Packet Co. sail from New York through 
 the Straits of Gibraltar to Algiers, Naples 
 and Genoa, thus avoiding the rigors of 
 the North Atlantic in winter. By this 
 route passengers can reach all parts of 
 Spain and Portugal, Southern France, 
 Italy, Switzerland and Tyrol, as well as 
 North Africa and the Orient, with safe- 
 ty, speed and comfort. 
 
 The route to Gibraltar is south of 
 the latitude of New York, Gibraltar 
 being lat. 36° 6' 30" N., and the distance 
 is not much greater than that to South- 
 ampton. The trip is made in about 
 seven days. 
 
 The Straits of Gibraltar are entered 
 off Cape Trafalgar, where the shores of 
 Europe and Africa gradually approach 
 each other. In a short time the famous 
 fortress of Gibraltar rises from the sea 
 and captivates the eye. 
 
 AL.GIERS. 
 
 Algiers offers a beautiful panorama as 
 it rises in steep terraces from the well- 
 sheltered bay which is hardly inferior 
 to that of Naples. Algiers has of late 
 years become a great resort for invalids, 
 
and especially the consumptive or deli- 
 cate, to winter in, on account of the 
 lovely climate, which, from October to 
 March, is as warm as an English sum- 
 mer, and equal, if not superior, to that 
 of Egypt. Frost is not known, and snow 
 is seen only on the distant mountains. 
 Mean winter temp. 55°, annual 64!°. 
 
 The Old Town has curious native streets, some 
 not more than four feet wide, and fearfully 
 steep. It is clean and picturesque, abounding 
 in specimens of Moorish architecture, shops, 
 and bazaars; and surrounded by the old Kas- 
 bah at the top. Caroba, oriental plane, wild 
 olive, and eucalyptus are the trees chiefly seen. 
 There is a fish market with all kinds of Medi- 
 terranean fish of most brilliant colors. Grapes 
 are good, green peas and new potatoes may be 
 had at Christmas ; dates, bananas and oranges 
 are plentiful all the winter season. 
 
 Ot the Mosques the oldest is Djama-el-Kebir 
 (the Great) of the loth century. There is also a 
 cathedral, formerly a mosque, with the Arch- 
 bishop's palace in an old Moorish house. 
 
 The roads are excellent,and excursions should 
 be made to the Roman antiquities of Cherchell, 
 ancient Csesarea, the Mauritanian capital, de- 
 stroyed by the Vandals, and to Hammam Belnan 
 (21 m.), one of the valuable hot mineral baths, or 
 hammams, which abound here. 
 
 An excursion into the surrounding country 
 will give an idea of the great fertility of the land 
 and the luxuriance of its vegetation. Every inch 
 of ground is cultivated, and olive, fig and orange 
 groves abound. A visit to Blidah, a town about 
 one hour by rail from the city, at the foot of the 
 Atlas Mountains, will show the traveler thatthis 
 part of Algiei-s is not a colony in the proper 
 sense of the term, but a rich and industrious 
 province. Near Blidah is the magnificent gorge 
 of the river Chiffa, well worth a visit for its own 
 sake as well as on account of the large number 
 of monkeys that live there, wild and unmolested, 
 crowding the trees and slopes and amusing 
 visitors with their antics. 
 
 The Hamburg - American Express 
 Steamers stop only a short time at 
 Algiers, and after landing passengers 
 proceed to Naples. The trip occupies 
 about ii^ days, making the passage 
 from New York to Naples about nine 
 days only. 
 
— 10 — 
 NAPLES. 
 
 Passing the celebrated islands of Ischia 
 and Capri, the steamer casts anchor in 
 the magnificent bay of Naples, which 
 from the most ancient times has been 
 the object of enthusiastic admiration. 
 
 From Naples the railway takes pas- 
 sengers in five hours to Rome, the 
 "Mistress of the World," with its count- 
 less treasures of art. 
 
 Brindisi can be reached in a little over 
 ten hours ; from here the Peninsular 
 and Oriental steamers start for India, 
 via the Suez Canal, upon arrival of the 
 "Indian Mail" train from London. 
 
 Naples has frequent steamboat con- 
 nection with Messina, Palermo and other 
 points in Sicily, but Messina can also be 
 reached via Reggio, which has direct 
 railway connection with Naples. The 
 fine steamships of the Messageries Mari- 
 times leave Naples every Saturday 
 direct for Alexandria ; the time of pas- 
 sage is 4}^ days. 
 
 The Hamburg- American Packet 
 Co.'s Express Steamer, after a short 
 stay at Naples, continues on its way to 
 
 GENOA, 
 
 which is reached the following day. 
 
 Genoa is the most convenient starting- 
 point for the health-resorts of the Rivi- 
 era, viz., Pegli, San Remo, Bordighera, 
 Mentone, Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, 
 Fr6jus, Hyeres, etc. Marseilles is only 
 about thirteen hours distant, whence 
 many interesting excursions may be 
 made to the venerable cities of the 
 Provence, abounding in remains of 
 Roman antiquity. A direct line runs 
 from here to Toulouse, the ancient cap- 
 ital of Languedoc, whence all parts of 
 the Pyrenees and the spas of Bagneres- 
 de-Bigorre, Bagneres-de-Luchon, Eaux- 
 Bonnes, Eaux-Chaudes, as well as Pau, 
 
are within easy reach. Marseilles has 
 daily connection with Algiers. 
 
 From Genoa travelers can take the 
 Montcenis Tunnel route for Aix-les- 
 Bains, Geneva, Lyons, etc., while by 
 the Gotthard Tunnel Line they can reach 
 the heart of Switzerland within half a 
 day. The Italian lakes, whose incom- 
 parable beauty has been extolled by 
 countless poets and writers since the 
 time of Virgil, are only a few hours dis- 
 tant from Genoa, and the historical cities 
 of Upper Italy and Tuscany — Turin, 
 Milan, Verona, Padua, Venice, Pavia, 
 Cremona, Mantua, Parma, Modena, 
 Bologna, Pisa, Siena, Leghorn and Flor- 
 ence — containing innumerable treasures 
 of the most perfect creations of genius, 
 are also within convenient reach. One 
 of the most delightful trips in Europe is 
 from Genoa via the Italian Lakes over 
 the Stelvio pass into the Tyrol. The 
 varied beauty of scenery along this 
 route is generally acknowledged to have 
 no superior anywhere.

 ALL the steamers for this service have 
 been built by the most famous ship- 
 builders in Europe, and are con- 
 structed of the best wrought iron and 
 steel. They have water-tight compart- 
 ments, with all of which the pumps are 
 connected, and are provided with patent 
 steam-steering apparatus, all necessary 
 donkey engines for lifting, pumping, 
 
— 12- 
 
 etc, a distilling apparatus supplying 
 fresh and pure water daily, and electric 
 lights and bells. 
 
 These steamers have several extras 
 above the highest rating in the Bureau 
 Veritas. They perform a regular service 
 between the United States and Germany, 
 stopping at Havre, France, on their 
 return to New York, and are great 
 favorites among the traveling public on 
 account of the many advantages which 
 they offer. 
 
 They carry only First Cabin and 
 Steerage passengers, and in the accom- 
 modations nothing has beeai omitted that 
 could promote comfort. The commo- 
 dious staterooms are all on the same 
 main deck, thus ensuring those greatest 
 luxuries at sea — perfect ventilation and 
 light. They are heated by steam and 
 fitted up in an improved manner. 
 There are staterooms for ladies traveling 
 alone, piano, library, smoking and card 
 rooms for gentlemen, bath-rooms, etc. 
 
 The kitchens are on the upper deck, 
 thereby avoiding all obnoxious odors. 
 
 Neither cattle, pigs nor sheep are car- 
 ried on any of the passenger steamers of 
 the Line. 
 
 Passengers wishing to obtain at a 
 moderate price the comforts of large, 
 airy rooms, elegant saloons, polite and 
 prompt attendance, and — last, but not 
 least — excellent meals, will find complete 
 satisfaction on these steamers. 
 
 Hambufg-Baltimore Liqe. 
 
 'p HIS service is performed by the 
 • steamers of the Hamburg- American 
 Packet Co. The line does not need 
 any other recommendation. Particular 
 attention is called to the cheap railroad 
 fares between Baltimore and the West. 
 
OFFICERS. 
 
 Tj^HE vessels of the Hamburg-Ameri- 
 * CAN Packet Co. are manned by 
 officers who have been in the Company's 
 employ for years and whose seamanship 
 has been thoroughly tested during many 
 trying voyages ; the strict discipline 
 maintained on these vessels comparing 
 favorably with that on board of a man- 
 of-war. 
 
 Before entering the employ of the 
 Company all officers have to pass two rig- 
 orous examinations in nautical schools, 
 and, in accordance with the Company's 
 system of promotion, have to work their 
 way up from inferior positions in the 
 service. All captains in command have 
 obtained their positions in this manner, 
 and no apoointments to this important 
 post are made unless the officer has had 
 long experience in the service and has 
 given ample proof of his thorough qual- 
 ification for the efficient fulfillment of 
 his responsible duties. It would, per- 
 haps, be difficult to present a more 
 striking proof of the seaman-like quali- 
 ties and the high character of the Com- 
 pany's officers than is furnished by the 
 fact that the steamships of this line have 
 been so frequently the means of saving 
 the lives of shipwrecked sailors at sea. 
 
 The express steamers are manned 
 by 340-350 men, divided as follows : 
 
 I Captain. 
 
 I Chief Enj^ineer. 
 
 I Chief Officer. 
 
 12 Officers, Physicians and Pursers,

 HAMBURG RIERS, 
 
 foot of First Street, in Hoboken, adjoin- 
 ing the New York Ferries. The Lacka- 
 wanna, the West Shore, the Erie, the 
 Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia & 
 Reading Railroad Companies all termi- 
 nate on that side of the Hudson, in 
 close proximity to the Hamburg Docks. 
 Hoboken is reached from New York by the 
 Barclay Street Ferry (down-town) or the 
 Christopher Street Ferry (up-town), both 
 landing at the same place in Hoboken, 
 adjoining the Hamburg Piers. 
 
THE EXPRESS STEAMERS 
 
 leave New York every Thursday for 
 Southampton and Hamburg, and Ham- 
 burg every Thursday, touching at South- 
 ampton on Friday. 
 
 Passengers are booked through to 
 London without extra charge. Through 
 tickets to or from Paris at low rates. 
 
 During the winter months the Express 
 Steamers sail from New York for Naples 
 and Genoa. 
 
 THE REGULAR STEAMERS 
 
 leave New York regularly Saturdays 
 and every alternate Tuesday direct for 
 Hamburg. 
 
 Returning, the steamers sailing from 
 Hamburg on Sundays touch at Havre on 
 their way to New York. Departure from 
 Havre on Tuesdays. Cabin passengers 
 will be forwarded from Southampton or 
 London to Havre at the Company's ex- 
 pense. Through tickets from Paris at 
 reduced rates. 
 
 Steamers leaving Hamburg on Wed- 
 nesday sail direct for New York. 
 
 BERTHS. 
 
 In order to secure berths favorably 
 located, it is at all times advisable, but 
 particularly during the spring and sum- 
 mer season, to apply as early as possible 
 to the General Passage Offices of the 
 Hamburg - American Packet Co., 37 
 Broadway, New York, or 125 La Salle 
 Street, Chicago, or to one of their 
 numerous agents in any of the principal 
 cities of the United States and Canada. 
 They will send those contemplating a 
 journey, upon application, a cabin plan 
 of the steamer the passenger wishes to 
 take, with the vacant berths or rooms 
 marked, from which he can choose. 
 
 Cabin berths are not considered engaged 
 unless secured by payment of ^2^ for 
 each berth. The full amount i/iust be paid 
 
— 16 — 
 
 three tveeks before sailings and if the 
 passage money is not then paid the berths 
 will be otherzvise disposed of. 
 
 During the traveling season, passen- 
 gers desiring the exclusive use of a 
 whole room must pay two fares. The 
 same price must be paid by an adult 
 and one child for a whole room. At other 
 seasons children between one and twelve 
 years pay half-price, and infants under 
 one year are free. 
 
 RETURN ACCOMMODATION 
 
 in cabin from Hamburg or Southampton 
 can be engaged by mail or by telegraph, 
 the latter at the passenger's expense. 
 An allowance of 10 PER CENT, 
 of the RETURN FARE will be 
 made if ROUND-TRIP tickets are 
 purchased before departure from 
 New York. Owing to the great de- 
 mand for berths from Europe during 
 the season it is advisable to secure the 
 return accommodation before starting 
 for Europe. It will save extended cor- 
 respondence, and there will be no disap- 
 pointment in finding the rooms wanted 
 already disposed of. When accommo- 
 dation has been reserved in this way, 
 the return ticket must be paid for before 
 departure from New York. 
 
 Passengers holding Return Tickets at 
 winter rates will be required to pay the 
 difference between winter and summer 
 rates if they return from Europe during 
 the traveling season, while passengers 
 holding Return Tickets at summer rates, 
 but returning from Europe out of sea- 
 son, will have the difference between 
 summer and winter rates refunded to 
 them. 
 
 SERVANTS. 
 
 On the Express Steamers servants 
 accompanying first cabin passengers 
 pay second cabin fare, and receive 
 
— 17 — 
 
 accommodation in a second cabin state- 
 room ; they have, however, access to the 
 first cabin. If passengers desire them 
 to be berthed in first cabin, the regular 
 fare for the berth occupied must be paid. 
 On the Regular Steamers servants pay 
 $45 each way. 
 
 BAGGAGE. 
 
 Passenger's baggage can be sent to 
 the Hamburg Piers, Hoboken, N. J., 
 a few days in advance, and will be kept 
 in the baggage-room there until claimed 
 by the passenger. All baggage must be 
 marked plainly with the name of pas- 
 senger and steamer. Tags and labels 
 can be obtained from the Company's 
 agents. Cabin passengers are allowed 
 20 cubic feet of baggage free of charge. 
 Passengers arriving in New York by 
 train or boat can have their trunks 
 checked direct to the Hamburg Pier in 
 Hoboken by the Baggage Express Agent, 
 who meets incoming passengers. All 
 articles wanted during the voyage should 
 be put in a valise or steamer trunk. The 
 latter must not exceed 12 inches in 
 height, to find room under the sofas 
 in the staterooms. 
 
 Embarking at Southampton for 
 Ne"w York. — Passengers desirous of 
 storing their baggage at Southampton, 
 either before embarkation or on disem- 
 barking, can do so by forwarding it or 
 delivering it with instructions to the 
 agents. Smith, Sundius&Co., 4 Oriental 
 Place, Southampton. 
 
 Embarking at Hamburg for New 
 York. — Passengers can send their bag- 
 gage to the Company in Hamburg in 
 advance. Such baggage will be stored 
 in the Company's Baggage Rooms, at 
 the passenger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook. 
 All baggage not wanted during the trip 
 must be sent to the same depot on the 
 day before sailing, and passengers must 
 
call there with their tickets to have the 
 baggage checked to New York." 
 
 AH stateroom baggage can be taken 
 aboard the train, which leaves Venlo 
 station in Hamburg generally at 8.40 
 A. M. on the day of sailing, conveying 
 passengers and their baggage free of 
 charge to Cuxhaven, where the Express 
 Steamer is boarded. 
 
 Passengers by steamers of the Regular 
 Service leave by tender direct from the 
 passenger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook. 
 
 STEWARDS. 
 
 Trained Stewards and Stewardesses, 
 speaking English and German, attend 
 to the wants of passengers. 
 
 PHYSICIAN. 
 
 An experienced Physician is attached 
 to every steamer. For medical attend- 
 ance and medicines no charge is made, 
 although cabin passengers, as a rule, 
 remunerate the doctor for service ren- 
 dered. 
 
 BATHS. 
 
 Comfortable bath-rooms are provided 
 in first as well as in second cabin ; the 
 bedroom stewards will attend to the 
 bath upon the passenger's request. 
 
 MEALS. 
 
 Breakfast is served from about 8 A.M., 
 lunch about 12.30 P.M., dinner about 6 
 p. M., and tea at 8 P. M. A menu is 
 printed for each meal. 
 
 Children under 12 years of age and 
 nurses are served separately. 
 
 CUISINE. 
 
 The Hamburg - American Packet 
 Company has always been well known 
 for the excellent fare provided. The 
 best culinary artists have been engaged 
 
— 19 — 
 
 as cooks, and the menu on these steamers 
 is equal to that served in the best hotels 
 in Europe. Wines, liquors and cigars, 
 carefully selected by the Company, are 
 are of the finest quality, and are sold at 
 moderate prices. 
 
 SEATS AT TABLE. 
 
 Passengers will have their seats allotted 
 to them by the Chief Steward immedi- 
 ately after leaving the docks. 
 
 BOOTS AND SHOES 
 
 will be cleaned if left outside the room 
 door. 
 
 VALUABLES. 
 
 The Company is not responsible for 
 theft if valuables are kept in the state- 
 rooms. A safe is provided in the office 
 of the Purser, to whom money, jewelry, 
 etc., may be handed for safe-keeping. 
 
 Paper, Envelopes, Stamps, etc. 
 
 Writing paper, envelopes, stamps and 
 telegraph forms may be had on applica- 
 tion to the saloon steward. 
 
 STEAMER CHAIRS 
 
 For use on decks can be hired from the 
 Ocean Comfort Co. at $i per chair for 
 the trip. Orders for chairs may be 
 obtained at our offices or from our 
 agents. 
 
 DRESS. 
 
 The matter of dress at sea requires 
 more than a passing thought, and to 
 ladies especially the question of what to 
 wear and what not to wear involves 
 considerations both weighty and vexa- 
 tious. 
 
 Ladies should adopt a costume easily 
 adjusted, and for comfort and general 
 utility a dress of dark-blue flannel, serge 
 or waterproof cloth, with a sacque of 
 the same material, will be found to 
 
answer all purposes. A little lead or 
 shot in the hem of the dress should not 
 be overlooked, as there is always more 
 or less wind when at sea. Thick boots, 
 hoods, or close-fitting h^ts, together 
 with thick veils, should not be forgotten. 
 
 Gentlemen will find warm clothing 
 and an overcoat in order for an Atlantic 
 passage. A suit of old clothes to lounge 
 around the deck without fear of spoiling, 
 and a soft felt hat or smoking-cap will 
 be found serviceable. 
 
 It must be remembered that a state- 
 room was never designed for the pur- 
 pose of indulging in an elaborate toilet. 
 
 By all means avoid numerous bun- 
 dles and parcels. Continental railroads 
 allow at best but fifty-six pounds of 
 baggage and charge heavily for every 
 pound in excess. It is, therefore, ad- 
 visable to avoid the heavy Saratoga 
 trunks, and to take instead light wooden 
 or wicker trunks, covered with thin 
 leather or canvas. A small steamer 
 trunk, for use during the voyage, will 
 be found almost indispensable. 
 
 MAILS. 
 
 A letter-box will be found near the 
 Purser's room, into which letters can be 
 put. German postage-stamps may be 
 obtained from the Purser ; they are good 
 for all letters posted aboard the steamer. 
 Telegrams to be forwarded should be 
 handed the Purser and charges paid to 
 him. 
 
 Letters and telegrams for passengers 
 are placed on one of the saloon tables. 
 
 MONEY. 
 
 The safest and most convenient way 
 of carrying money abroad to meet ex- 
 penses is in the form of drafts, circular 
 letters of credit, or of circular notes, and 
 money can thus be obtained at any one of 
 
the principal cities of the civilized world. 
 Tourists should be careful to deal only 
 with bankers of undoubted standing. 
 
 Emil L, Boas, Foreign Banker, 37 
 Broadway, New York, and 125 La Salle 
 St., Chicago, will issue drafts on Europe, 
 circular notes and circular letters of credit. 
 
 Attention is called to the convenience 
 which circular notes offer to European 
 travelers. These notes are payable on 
 demand at all the principal cities of 
 Europe in the currency of the country 
 where presented, each note being issued 
 for ;i^io sterling, or its equivalent. But 
 besides the handy way of carrying funds, 
 which these circular notes offer, the 
 great point in their favor is their safety, 
 for, in consequence of the system of 
 endorsement employed, no one can 
 cash them but the person knowing the 
 special word of identification given. 
 
 Before embarking for Europe, travel- 
 ers should provide themselves with 
 foreign coin sufficient to pay incidental 
 expenses on landing. 
 
 It may be well to add that English 
 sovereigns and Bank of England notes 
 are readily taken everywhere in Europe. 
 French Napoleons are also good money, 
 especially in the East. 
 
 PASSPORTS. 
 
 While passports are not at present 
 really required by travelers in Europe, 
 except for visiting Russia, Roumania, 
 Bulgaria and Turkey, they are at the 
 same time frequently useful in order to 
 obtain admission to certain museums, to 
 obtain letters sent Poste Restante and to 
 establish identity whenever required. 
 
 Passports can be procured from Wash- 
 ington for such as desire them within 
 forty-eight hours. The Government 
 charges a fee of $1.00, while notary's 
 and other fees amount to $2,00 more.

 LONDON. 
 
 The Express Steamers touch at 
 Southampton on their way to Hamburg 
 to land passengers and mail. Passengers 
 are transferred at Southampton to the 
 Hamburg-American Line's special train 
 and forwarded to London free of charge. 
 The trip occupies less than two hours, 
 and trains arrive at Waterloo station in 
 London. 
 
 The landing arrangements at South- 
 ampton are considered superior to those 
 of any other port in England, the trains 
 starting from the docks direct. 
 
 The Hamburg - American Packet 
 Co.'s offices in London are 22 Cockspur 
 Street, S. W., and 158 Leadenhall Street.

 PARIS. 
 
 Paris can be reached from Southamp- 
 ton either via London or via Havre. 
 Passengers going via London have the 
 choice of three routes, viz., via Dover- 
 Calais, Folkestone-Boulogne, or New- 
 haven-Dieppe. The first route has the 
 fastest and finest train (the so-called 
 Club Train), equipped with parlor and 
 dining cars, making the trip in 7^ hours. 
 
 Through tickets to or from Paris may 
 be obtained at the Hamburg-American 
 Packet Company's General Passage 
 Offices at reduced rates. 
 
 The time via Havre is about 12 hours. 
 The steamers of the London & South- 
 western Railway leave the landing at 
 Southampton for Havre (or vice versa) 
 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 
 
— 23 — 
 
 evening, reaching Havre the following 
 morning. During the summer season 
 there is daily connection. 
 
 The Hamburg -American Packet 
 Company's offices in Havre are i Place 
 du Commerce, and in Paris 3 Rue Scribe. 
 
 HAMBURG. 
 
 After landing passengers and mail in 
 Southampton, the steamer immediately 
 proceeds to Hamburg, which is reached 
 in about 24 hours. Express Steamers* 
 passengers are landed at Cuxhaven, 
 whence a special railroad train takes 
 them to Hamburg. Hamburg is a city 
 of over 500,000 inhabitants, the principal 
 commercial emporium of the continent 
 of Europe, and one of its most beautiful 
 towns. It is one of the most important 
 railroad centres, and has frequent and 
 direct trains to all parts of the Conti- 
 nent. A fast express train service has 
 of late been opened from Hamburg to 
 the principal cities of the interior, the 
 time to Berlin having been reduced to 
 3^hours, etc. 
 
 Embarking for New York, passen- 
 gers board the Express Steamer at 
 Cuxhaven at the mouth of the Elbe. The 
 Company's special train leaves the 
 Venlo station at Hamburg on the morn- 
 ing of the day of sailing, generally at 
 8.40 A.M., conveying passengers and 
 their baggage free of charge to the 
 steamer. Representatives of the Com- 
 pany are at the station one hour before 
 departure of the train to assist passengers 
 and give any information that may be 
 required. They also accompany the 
 train to Cuxhaven. 
 
 Passengers by the steamers of the 
 Regular Service embark at the passen- 
 ger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook, where 
 representatives of the Company are also 
 in attendance.

 Through Tickets To and From 
 
 Railway Stations on the 
 
 Continent of Europe. 
 
 By special arrangement with the Con- 
 tinental railways, the Hamburg-Ameri- 
 can Packet Co. is able to' sell through 
 ticketstoany railway station in Germany, 
 Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy, 
 and from such stations to the United 
 States. 
 
 These tickets are only sold in connec- 
 tion with ocean passage by one of the 
 steamers of the Hamburg-American 
 Packet Co., and are good for one year 
 from date of issue. The tickets are ac- 
 cepted on the trains, thus avoiding the 
 necessity of obtaining funds on arrival, 
 saving delay at the station and accom- 
 modating those who are not proficient 
 in the foreign languages. These tickets 
 give stop-over privileges at any interme- 
 diate station. Circular tours through 
 Europe can also be arranged in this 
 way, covering the tourists' route on the 
 Continent. It is needless further to point 
 out in particular the many advantages 
 which this system offers to American 
 travelers. The tickets may be obtained 
 at the General Passage Oflfices of the 
 Hamburg-American Packet Co., 37 
 Broadway, New York, and 125 La Salle 
 St., Chicago, or from any one of the 
 Company's American agents. 
 
 IN FOREIGN PARTS. 
 
 On landing in Europe the traveler's 
 baggage will be examined, but Custom 
 Houses in Europe are not as difficult to 
 pass as in America. Spirits, tobacco and 
 cigars are -the articles mainly looked for, 
 and if any are found that have not been 
 declared, they will be confiscated. 
 
Second-class hotels in Europe are far 
 better than those of the same grade in 
 America; they are plain and simple, 
 but excellent in their way. 
 
 RAILWAY Traveling in Europe. 
 
 There are generally three classes of 
 carriages on the European railways. 
 The first-class is luxuriously furnished ; 
 but second-class carriages are also very 
 comfortable, especially in Germany, 
 and this is so well understood that mixed 
 tickets are sold for long journeys, en- 
 titling the holder to first-class in other 
 countries and second-class in Germany. 
 Third-class carriages are generally neat 
 and clean, but have no cushions. This 
 class is frequented by the general public 
 for short journeys. 
 
 Nearly every train has compartments 
 exclusively for ladies. In England, 
 France and Italy smoking is forbidden, 
 except in compartments specially desig- 
 nated for that purpose. In Germany 
 and Austria smoking is allowed in all 
 carriages save those where it is for- 
 bidden, and these are labeled "Fvir 
 Nichtraucher." 
 
 LUGGAGE. 
 
 The allowance of luggage varies 
 greatly. In England it is loo pounds ; 
 in most continental countries it averages 
 fifty pounds; in Bavaria, Belgium, Italy, 
 and in most parts of Switzerland there is 
 no allowance. The charge for excessive 
 luggage is high ; all hand-baggage is 
 free. 
 
 There are no "baggage checks," 
 though on the Continent receipts are 
 given ; but travelers will always do well 
 to look after their trunks, especially in 
 crossing a frontier, when they must see 
 to it that their luggage is examined and 
 again put on board the train. In England 
 
no receipt is given, and passengers 
 must pick out their property themselves 
 at the end of their journey. 
 
 TIME-TABLES. 
 
 Of railway guides for Great Britain, 
 " Bradshaw's " is to be recommended; 
 for Germany and neighboring countries, 
 the " Reichs-Kursbuch " and " Hen- 
 schel's " ; for France, " I'lndicateur 
 Chaix" ; for Italy, " I'lndicatore Uf- 
 ficiale," and for Switzerland, " Le Guide 
 Privat." 
 
 LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS. 
 
 Passengers can have their letters and 
 telegrams addressed in care of the 
 HAMBURG-AMERICAN PACKET CO. 
 in —

 Havre, i Place du Commerce. 
 London, 22 Cockspur Street, S. "W. 
 Southampton, 4 Oriental Place. 
 New York, 37 Broadway. 
 Chicago, 125 La Salle Street. 
 
 Letters for passengers should be 
 plainly addressed, giving the name of 
 steamer and whether expected to arrive 
 or sail. Passengers expecting letlers 
 after departure should leave their ad- 
 dress at the Company's offices ; letters 
 will then be forwarded to address given. 
 To ensure return of letters in case of 
 non- delivery, envelopes should be 
 plainly marked with sender's name and 
 address. 
 
 At all the European offices of the 
 Company there are Reading and Writ- 
 ing Rooms for passengers, where the 
 latest American newspapers are kept on 
 file. 
 
 The Berlin office will reserve rooms for 
 passengers at any hotel if notified in time. 
 
— 27 — 
 NEW YORK CUSTOMS. 
 
 Customs officers will board the steamer 
 upon arrival in the bay of New York. 
 Passengers must go before them in turn 
 and make their declaration that they have 
 only their own personal effects with 
 them, and no presents for other persons. 
 The number of pieces and description of 
 baggage must also be given. When 
 baggage is landed, passengers should 
 gather it altogether and get a Custom 
 House officer to pass it ; he checks it by 
 the declaration made on board, and then 
 gives a permit.

 Pay for the Pilots. 
 
 The rates of pilotage from April i st to Novem- 
 ber ist are: For inward-bound vessels of be- 
 tween 6 and 13 feet, $2.78 per foot ; between 14 
 and 17 feet 6 inches, $3.38 per foot ; between 18 
 and 20 feet 6 inches, JJ4.13 per foot ; and between 
 21 and 28 feet, $4.88 per foot. Outward, it is 
 $2.02 between 6 and 13 feet; I2.33 between 14 
 and 17 feet 6 inches ; $3.08 between 18 and 20 
 feet 6 inches; and $3.56 between 21 and 28 feet. 
 Inward-bound vessels also pay off-shore pilot- 
 age (25% extra) if thev take a pilot aboard be- 
 yond 16 miles from Sandy Hook light, unless 
 the pilot waives the off-shore pilotage. If he 
 relinquishes the extra pay he must be taken 
 aboard ; if not, the commander can refuse his 
 services and wait until he reaches the off-shore 
 imit. Thus, for a vessel of 25 feet, thfe pilotage 
 from Sandy Hook would be $122, and with $30.50 
 for off-shore, $152.50. Outward pilotage for the 
 same draught vessels would be only $89. During 
 the cold weather, or between November and 
 April, the sum of $4 is added to the general bill.

The international. Signal Code. 
 
 In order to give one another information at 
 sea, a signal code, by means of flags, has been 
 devised, which has been adopted by all seafaring 
 nations. 
 
 All editions of this code correspond in their 
 contents, wrhatever the language may be in 
 wrhich they are issued.

 FLAGS OF THE SIGNAL CODE FOR MERCHANT VESSELS 
 
 OF ALL NATIONS 
 
— 37 — 
 
 are employed to represent the signs used. The 
 first flag is the signal pennant, the others stand 
 for the letters inoicated. One flag alone is used 
 only in three cases, viz.: flag C as sign of 
 affirmation, flag D-as sign of negation, and 
 the signal pennant. The rule is to hoist the 
 flags composing the signal, one below the other, 
 at the same time and at the same place. 
 
 The eighteen letters, B, C. D, F, G, H, J, K, L, 
 M, N, P, Q, R. S, T, V, W, are arranged into 
 groups of 2, 3 and 4 letters, making a total of 
 78,642 signals. 
 
 Let us suppose the German sailing vessel 
 "Europa" meets a Hamburg steamer on the 
 Atlantic, and wants to report her name, port of 
 departure, destination, and time at sea, so that 
 herowners may hearof herthrough the steamer, 
 which will reach port so much sooner.

 shows at another place Q B K J, then BDPQ, 
 then BQGL, and finally V W T (as above); 
 meaning that she sailed from London, is bound 
 for New York, and has been twelve days at sea. 
 
 TIDES. 
 
 The surface of the ocean rises and falls twice 
 in a lunar day of about 24 hours and 52 minutes. 
 The tides do not always rise to the same height, 
 but every fortnight, after the new and full moon, 
 they become much higher than they were in the 
 alternate weeks. These high tides are called 
 spring tides, and the low ones neap tides. The 
 close relation which the times of high-water 
 bear to the times of the moon's meridian passage 
 shows that the moon's influence in raising the 
 tides is much greater than that of thesun. It is, 
 in fact, two and a half times as great.

 WINDS. 
 
 Wind is air in motion. The direction of the 
 wind is designated by the point of the compass 
 from which it blows. All winds are caused 
 directly or indirectly by changes of temperature. 
 If two neighboring regions become very unequal 
 in temperature from any cause, the air of the 
 warmer region, being lighter than the other, will 
 ascend and be poured over it from above, while 
 the heavier air of the colder region will flow in 
 below to supply its place. The rotation of the 
 earth alone produces no permanent wind, be- 
 cause the atmosphere has the same velocity of 
 rotation as that of the portion of the earth upon 
 which it rests, but the earth's rotation materi- 
 ally modifies the operation of other disturbing 
 causes. Since the earth is nearly a spherical 
 body, rotating upon its axis once in 24 hours, 
 the velocity of rotation of different parallels is 
 very different.

HOW CAN A SHIP SAIL FASTER THAN 
 THE WIND ? 
 
 Every yachtsman knows that a ship can sail 
 faster than the wind ; that is to say, it the wind 
 is blowing ten knots an hour, a ship may be 
 making twelve or fifteen knots an hour. Now, 
 it is obvious that if the ship is sailing straight 
 before the wind it cannot, at the utmost, travel 
 faster than the wind itself is blowing— as a 
 matter of fact, it will travel much more slowly. 
 If, on the other hand, the ship is sailing at an 
 angle with the wind, it seems at first sight that 
 the wind must act with less effect than before, 
 but as a matter of fact the ship not only sails 
 more quickly than before, but more quickly 
 than the wind itself is blowing. 
 
 Let us consider the difficulty in the light of 
 the following experiment: Place a ball at one 
 side of a buliard-table, and with the cue, not 
 held in the ordinary manner but lengthwise, 
 from end to end ot the table, shove the ball 
 across the cloth. The cue here represents the 
 wind, and the ball the ship sailing directly before 
 it ; the ball, of course, travels at the same rate as 
 the cue. Now, suppose a groove, in which the 
 ball may roll, be cut diagonally across the table, 
 from one corner pocket to the other. If the ball 
 be now placed at one end of the groove, and the 
 cue held horizontally, parallel with the long 
 sides and moved forward across the width oi 
 the table as before, the ball will travel along 
 the groove (and along the cue) diagonally across 
 the table, in the same time as the cue takes to 
 move across the width of the table. This is 
 the case of the ship sailing at an angle with the 
 direction of the wind. The groove is consider- 
 ably longer than the width of the table, more 
 than double as long, in fact. The ball, therefore, 
 travels much faster than the cue which impels 
 it, since it covers more than double the distance 
 in the same time. It is in precisely the same 
 manner that a tacking ship is enaljled to sail 
 faster than the wind.

 WAVE MOTIONS. 
 
 The longest wave recorded measured half a 
 mile from crest to crest with a period of 23 
 seconds. Waves having a length of 500-600 
 feet and periods of lo-n seconds are ordi- 
 nary storm waves. Waves having a greater 
 height than 30 feet are not commonly encount- 
 ered, though in exceptional cases waves of 44 
 to 48 feet high have been reported.

 LATITUDE. 
 
 Latitude is reckoned in degrees (°) @ 60 min- 
 utes (') @ 60 seconds ("). There are 90 degrees 
 between the equator and the poles. A minute 
 of latitude and a mile of latitude are one and the 
 
 LONGITUDE. 
 
 Longitude is also reckoned in degrees @ 60 
 minutes @ 60 seconds. There are 360 degrees 
 or meridians of longitude ; on most charts the 
 meridian of Greenwich, near London, is indi- 
 cated as the first meridian, from which 180 are 
 counted east and west. When the sun is oppo- 
 site a meridian it is noon at that place. It is 
 only at the equator that a minute of longitude is 
 equal to a nautical mile ; leaving the equator the 
 meridians converge, meeting in a point at the 
 poles. A ship sailing eastward around the 
 globe comes to the meridian earlier each day, 
 as her course makes her gain time (shortening 
 each day); while if she were sailing to the 
 westward, she would lengthen her day ; conse- 
 quently, in circumnavigating the globe, one 
 whole day is gained in sailing to the eastward 
 and lost in sailing to the westward. 
 
— 42 — 
 Reckoning Time from Longitude. 
 
 The earth in its revolution turns on its axis 
 from west to east. An entire rotation, or 360°, is 
 performed in 24 hours ; 15° of longitude must, 
 therefore, be eaual to one hour of time. 
 
 To find the difference in time between two 
 places, divide the difference in longitude by 15. 
 For instance : 
 
 Longitude of San Francisco 122° 24' 53" 
 
 Longitude of New York 74 00 03 
 
 Difference 48 24 50 
 
 divided by 15=3^ 13m 391^3 ; thus, if it is noon at 
 San Francisco it is 3I1 13m 39^8 p.m. in New York. 
 
 Reckoning Longitude from Time. 
 
 A vessel sailing from New Yorfc finds after 
 some days that the difference in time with New 
 York is ilisim45s. The longitude is determined 
 from this by multiplying with 15=27° 56' 15", 
 which, deducted from the longitude of New 
 York (74° 00' 03"), gives longitude 46° 03' 48".

 THE MARINER'S COMPASS. 
 
 The circumference of the compass is divided 
 into 4 quadrants and each quadrant into 8 
 points, and also into 90° (degrees), so that the 
 circumferenct has 32 points and 360° or ii>^° to 
 a point. 
 
 The compass needle points to the mag^netic 
 poles of the earth, which do not coincide with 
 the true poles ; the difference is called variation 
 of the compass. The magnetic north pole has 
 been reached and is situated in lat. 70° N. and 
 lone. 97 W. (The magnetic south pole is under lat. 
 70° S. and long. 145° E.) In different parts of the 
 world the variation of the needle from the true 
 north differs both in quantity and direction, the 
 needle inclining in some places to the westward, 
 in others to the eastward of the true north ; for 
 instance, if we look at a chart of Sandy Hook, 
 New York, we will find that the compass drawn 
 or* the chart gives 7° 50" of westerly variation 
 (=about % point), thus showing that in the lati- 
 tude and longitude of Sandy Hook the needle of 
 the compass deviates % of a point to the west- 
 ward from the true geographical north. 
 
 The following table gives the names of the 
 points of the compass, with their equivalents in 
 points and degrees, giving; the angle which the 
 points make with the meridian.

THE WATCH AS A COMPASS. 
 
 The points of the compass may be determined 
 with the aid of an ordinary watch. It is simply 
 necessary to brine the watch in a position so 
 that the hour hana is directed toward the sun. 
 The south then lies exactly midway between 
 whatever hour it may happen to be and the 
 numeral XII. on the dfial. Let us suppose, tor 
 instance, that it is four o'clock, and that the 
 timepiece is held in the position indicated The 
 direction of the numeral II. will then be the 
 exact south. If it be eight o'clock, the numeral 
 X will indicate the exact southerly point.

 ECLIPTIC AND Declination. 
 
 
 Pole 
 
 The earth leans toward the right on its axis, 
 and its inclination from the perpendicular is 
 23° 27' 30". As the earth moves round the sun 
 a path is described by the sun passing over the 
 earth, and this path, or sun's track, is called 
 ecliptic. The ecliptic and the equator are in- 
 clined to one another at an angle of 23" 27' 30". 
 On March 20th the sun crosses the equator onits 
 summer journey to the northern hemisphere, 
 and on June 21st it reaches the limit of its 
 northern declination, recrossing the equator 
 again on September 23d. It continues on its 
 southern course until the southern limit of its 
 declination is reached, on December 21st. The 
 sun's declination is thus continually changing, 
 and its exact position must be calculated when 
 finding the ship's position by observation.

 THE RANGE OF VISION AT SEA. 
 
 The range of vision at sea depends, on ac- 
 count of the curvature of the earth, on the height 
 of the point of observation and the height of 
 the object. The curvature of the earth is about 
 8 inches or 0.657 f*- i"^ one mile, and increases 
 for the observer as" the squares of the distance 
 being in 2 miles (2'-'=) 4x8 in. and in 3 miles 
 (32=) 9x8 in., etc., this is somewhat diminished, 
 however, by the refraction of the atmosphere 
 which tends to make distant objects appear 
 higher, and again modified by temperature, 
 moisture, etc.

 DIVISIONS OF TIME. 
 
 The interval between two consecutive transits 
 of a fixed star over any meridian or the interval 
 during which the earth makes one absolute rev- 
 olution on its axis is called a Sidereal Day ; it 
 is invariable and always equal to 23 hours, 56 
 min., 4.09 seconds, so that a star will on any 
 night appear to set or to pass the range of any 
 two fixed objects 3 min., 55.91 seconds earlier 
 than the night before. The interval between 
 two consecutive transits of the Sun over any 
 meridian is called a Solar Day, and its length 
 varies from day to day; by reason of the variable 
 motion of the earth in its orbit. 
 
 The difference between the Sidereal and the 
 Solar Day at any time is the Equation 0/ Time, 
 and may amount to 16 minutes and 21 seconds. 
 The average length of all the solar days is 
 called the mean solar day, and is the same as 
 the Civil Day of 24 hours. The Astronomical 
 Day begins at noon and the Civil Day at the 
 preceding midnight. 
 
 The interval during which the earth makes 
 one absolute revolution round the Sun is called 
 a Sidereal Year, and consists of 365 days, 6 
 hours, 9 minutes and 9.6 seconds, which is in- 
 variable. 
 
 The Tropical K^ar is the interval between two 
 consecutive returns of the Sun to the Vernal 
 Equinox. In consequence of the disturbing 
 influence of the moon and planets the Equinox 
 has a. slow retrograde mean motion of 50.26", 
 annually, so that the Sun returns to the Equinox 
 sooner every year than he otherwise would by 
 20 minutes, 23.6 seconds; the Tropical Year, 
 therefore, consists of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 
 minutes and 46 seconds. 
 
 Julius Caesar, in B.C. 45, was the first to reform 
 the calendar by ordering that every year whose 
 number is exactly divisible by 4 contains 
 366 days, and all other years 365 days. The 
 Julian Calendar continued in use until a. d. 1582, 
 when the date of the beginning of the seasons 
 occurred 10 days later than in b. c. 45. 
 
 Pope Gregory XIII. introduced the new cal- 
 endar which gives 365 days to every year whose 
 number is not divisible by 4 as well as every 
 year divisible by 100 but not by 400. All other 
 years, namely those whose numbers are divisi- 
 ble by 400 and those divisible by 4 and not by 
 ICO, have 366 days. The difference between the 
 Julian and Gregorian Calendars is now 12 days. 
 Russia and Greece still employ the Julian Cal- 
 endar. 
 
THE FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY ERA. 
 
 In September, 1793, the convention decreed 
 that the new French era should begin on Septem- 
 ber 22, 1792, the day of the true autumnal equi- 
 nox. The year was divided into twelve months, 
 and each month into three decades of 10 days 
 each. In ordinary years there were five extra 
 days, from the 17th to the 21st of- our Septem- 
 ber, and at the end of every fourth year was a 
 sixth complementary day. This reckoning was 
 first used on November 22, 1793, 'and was con- 
 tinued until December 31, 1805, when it was 
 discontinued, and the Gregorian calendar re. 
 sumed. The following were the dates for the 
 year 1804, the last complete year of this style 
 of leckoning; 
 
 Vend^miaire (Vintage), Sept. 23 to Oct. 22.

 The Largest Steamship ever 
 Built 
 
 was the Great Eastern, constructed by J. Scott 
 Russell & Co., of Millwall-on-Thames, on the 
 plans of Engineer Brunei, and launched in 
 1858. 
 
 She was built of iron, and her capacity was 
 18,915 tons; displacement 32, 160; her length was 
 6791^ feet, 691 overall; width, 83 feet; depth, 48 
 feet ; her draught when laden, 30 feet. She had 
 one direct acting horizontal engine for driving 
 the screw, with 4 cylinders, each of 84 inches 
 diameter and with 4 feet stroke, 6,000, indi- 
 cated horse-power, 6 boilers and 60 furnaces, 
 and an oscillating engine for the paddle wheels, 
 with 4 cylinders each of 74 inches diameter, 
 and i4>^ feet stroke, with 5,000 indicated 
 horse-power, 4 boilers and 40 furnaces. The 
 pressure of steam was 25 pounds. She had 7 
 masts with 6,500 square yards of sails and 
 could accommodate 3,000 passengers ; the seat- 
 ing capacity of the saloons was 500. Her best 
 speed was 13 knots per hour.

 I U. S. gold dollar weighs 25.8 grains and con- 
 tains 2322 grains of pure gold (24 carat). 
 
 In coining gold dollars ^ of the weight of pure 
 gold is added in alloy, but the cost of alloy and 
 coinage is borne by the Government, so that 
 the value of the gold dollar is that of the 
 pure gold it contains. A cubic foot of pure 
 gold weighs about 1,204 lbs. avoir, and is 
 worth $362,963.00 ; a cubic inch weighs about 
 11^*8 ounces avoir, and is worth I210.04. 
 
 Weight of I million dollars in gold coin=3,685''i 
 lbs. avoir, or i'^*^ long tons. 
 
 I million dollars in silver coin=59,92867 lbs. 
 avoir.=26^°' 'ong tons. 
 
 Coin as Pocket Measure. — A half-dollar is i 
 inch in width. A five cent nickel piece is 2 
 centimeters in width and weighs 5 grammes. 
 
 In Colonial times all accounts were kept in reals, 
 and when the dollar was introduced it was 
 called "a piece of eight," 8 reals being equal 
 to I dollar. The number of pieces of eight 
 was placed between two lines thus, 16 dollars 
 and 12 cents, /16/12, but instead of this a can- 
 celed 8 was soon placed before the amount in 
 dollars, thus, ^16.50, froni which our present 
 $ sign evolved.

 ["The Star Spangled Banner" and "Hail 
 Columbia" are often sung at the concerts given 
 aboard ship. As many are unfamiliar with the 
 words, we print them on the next page.] 
 
The Star Spangled Banner. 
 
 'h, say, can you see by the dawn's early lis 
 What so proudly we hailed at the twiligr 
 
 Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through 
 the perilous fight, 
 On the ramparts we watched, were so gal- 
 lantly streaming. 
 And the rocket's red'glare, the bombs bursting 
 in air. 
 Gave proof through the night that our flag 
 was still there ; 
 Oh, say, does the star spangled banner yet wave. 
 O'er the land of the free and the home of the 
 brave? 
 On the shore dimly seen, through the mists of 
 the deep. 
 Where the toe's haughty host in dread silence 
 reposes. 
 What is that which the breeze o'er the towering 
 steep. 
 As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half dis- 
 closes ? 
 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first 
 beam ; 
 In full glory reflected, now shines on the 
 stream ; 
 'Tis the star spangled banner,0,long may it wave, 
 O'er the land ot the free and the home of the 
 brave. — -Francis Scott Key. 
 
 HAIL Columbia. 
 
 Hail Columbia ! happy land. 
 Hail ye heroes ! heaven-born band 
 Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 
 Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 
 And, when the storm of war was gone. 
 Enjoyed the peace your valor won. 
 Let independence be our boast ! 
 Ever mindful what it cost. 
 Ever grateful for the prize. 
 Let its altars reach the skies ! 
 
 Chorus : — Firm, united, let us be 1 
 
 Rallying round our liberty. 
 As a band of brothers joined 
 Peace and safety we shall find. 
 Immortal patriots ! rise once more ; 
 Defend your rights, defend your shore. 
 Let no rude foe with impious hand- 
 Let no rude foe with impious hand 
 Invade the shrine where sacred lies 
 Of toil and blood the well-earned prize ! 
 While offering peace sincere and just. 
 In Heaven we place our manly trust 
 That truth and justice will prevail 
 And every scheme of bondfage fail. 
 Chorus.
