VOYAGE FAMOUS IN HISTORY Wooden Paddle Wheel Steamer, the Golden Age, Paved the Way for , the Mighty Megantic. Departure from Sydney recently of the White Star liner Megnntlc for Liv erpool by way of New Zealand, the Panama canal, the West Indies and New York, recalls her historic fore runner of 1854, says the New York Tribune. ? The vessel, the 'Golden Age, was a . wooden paddle wheel steamer, belong ing to the New York and Australian .Steam Navigation company. The in tent ion of the company was to run six vessels "via Panama," the Panama railroad, capitalized at $7,(MX),000, be ing the connecting link on the then un divided Isthmus with the West India r Iloyal Mail Steam Packet company, running from Southampton. The Crimean war, yellow fever on the Isthmus and other causes con spired to defeat the company's plans. The Golden Age was commanded by, Lieut. David D. Porter of the United States navy, who afterward became famous as a Union admiral during the Civil war, The Golden Age left Melbourne for Panama via Sydney ami Tahiti, May 5, 1854. She reached Sydney on May 11 with .100 passengers. Her cai^go Included a consignment of gold dust and she reached England In 0(5 days. New Idea in Ventilation. The Ayrton antigas fan, which, ac cording to Munsey's Magazine, may revolutionize all our systems of venti lation. Is based on the principle that a fan should be brought down sharply from the perpendicular to the horlz^i tal, and- thus drive the air forward In steady puffs and set up a fresh cur rent F rrun the roar. TYic fn vent or, who is an Englishwoman, has given public demonstrations In London with glass models of dugouts and tunnels from which the fan readily expels the smoke. At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton, with a three-inch fan, sat at one end of a slx-f>ot table while smoke poured forth from a funnel at the other end. The action of the miniature fan not only dispelled the smoke but quickly gained such control over It that It pre vented it from coining out of the fun nel. The fan works on the hinge-and sprlng principle and Is constructed of light material. It has been used suc cessfully In factories, theaters, mines and sewers. ? Youth's Companion. Airplanes in Mining Operations. It Is predicted that the airplane anri the dirigible will prove a great stimulus to the mining industry In pre senting a means of getting material and men to and from locations whlqji are known to be rich with ore and which are at the present time Inacces sible. There are many such places known to exist, but the cost of build ing n ^udway to them would be so great as to be prohibitive. Attention to this phase of the subject has been I recently attracted by a report made by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the min ing stations for the Unlt?*d States bu reau of mines. - By this men no a regu i lar communication could bo main tained with sections which are not to be reached by any ordinary means. It Is also suggested that the same meens might be of great vhltie fnr getting res cue apparatus to the scene of mining disasters. Cats and Diphtheria.
