THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1803 The Weekly Chronicle. OFFICIAL PAPER OF WASCO COUNTY. There ia a bill pending in congress providing (or the Issuing of postal frac tional currency, in denominations of 5, 10. 25 and 50 cents. This Is intended to furnish the public with a convenient form of money for transmission through the mails. It is to displace the postal notes, which are to be withdrawn from ale on January 1, 1S4. This fractional postal currency will be furnished at its face value and without the formality now necessary to get a postal note There are branches of business involving mall transactions which would be sen iWy aided by such a currency for in closure in letters. It is reported that a movement is on foot, with its headquarters at Pittsburg, to girdle toe earth with a series of re ligious conventions on the 1900th anni versary of the Christian era. A great expedition will start out, numbering, it la thought, some 1,000 persons, who will go entirely around the world holding rousing religious services at (every iuv portant stopping place. The first ser vice will be heid in ban Francisco, and the last in New York. Bombay, Jerusa lem, Rome and London will be taken in on the way. The services are to be en tirely non-eectarian. Several weeks will elapse between each service, and it is calculated that the expedition will take a year in making its rounds, and that it will cost each of the crusaders about 1,000. Professor Joseph B. Witherbee, writ ing in the Popular Science Monthly, calls for universal reform in penmanship. He says the demand among business men now is for style of penmanship that can be written rapidly and that can be easily read. The present fashion, with its sloping letters, is so far from meeting these requirements that commercial firms complain boys now do not begin to write so well as the boys of a genera tion ago did. The kind of hand that will fill the bill Professor Witherbee finds in the straight np and down style, the letters being written without tendency to slant in any direction. He claims that this is the natural style, and that the slanting chirography is only obtained after long and painful effort on the part of the pupil. The vertical handwriting is much wore easily read than the sloping one, just as the plain letters of ordinary print are more easily read than italics. In England the reform has so far pro gressed that the civil service examiners require the upright writing on the part of applicants and will accept no other. This is on account of its greater legibility. Vertical style copybooks have already been published in England, and on the whole we may look upon this as the handwriting of the futnre. cleverness to bear upon the clearness oj her complexion, upou the freedom of her graceful figure, and upon the per fection of her health, as well as hu her art or her profession. An eminent electrician is quoted as authority for the oplniou that "there Is no danger from lightning If an umbrella be carried during the storm and brass chains hung from the ribs." Electri city no doubt in its applied forma is going to solve a good many problems of life, economic or otherwise, and it seems almost a pity that the present season is too far advanced to give this method of protection the trial it de serves. Meanwhile, says an exchange, there is food for picturesque reflection in badirer. 2.V; polecat. 2oc(r4-c; won house cat, lOvca -Joc ea. iHfc," WARDING OrFSEACnNSS, Keep Moving and ltrt KiU ttach the rtrat '.efte.

The Philadelphia Times doe not believe that there ia any known herb, drug or line of action thut will prevent seasickness if once you start in on that disagreeable path, but there are many things that help to want oft an attack which will indeed prove of value to those who dread ko much the the idea suggested. Whether the chains are to las hung from the ribs lefore j crossing of the great Atlantic or Pa- leaviuc the house or whether one is ex- cific ferries. It is advisable before petted to carrv them in the pocket and one starts on sueh a voyape to be par- at the first rumble of distant thunder to take off one's clothing and to attach them to the ribs i' not mentioned. Nor whether they are to be worn inside or outside the clothes, nor how they are to be hung from the ribs. These are mat ters of details that may be left to Indi vidual taste, but the community going round with chains hanging from its ribs would certainly be a spectacle for Ajax t icularly careful as to his diet.

The application of power through triple screws in large ships is an innova tion, and its results in the Columbia are watched with intense interest by the en tire civilized world. Essentially and avowedly a commerce destroyer, and not a fighting ship, the armament of the Columbia will be comparatively light. The Columbia has been in a special degree the work of Enginear-in-Chief G. W. Melville, U. 8. N., of the bureau of steam engineering, under whose direc tion the designing of her machinery was done. When the estimates were made for this ship, the speed fixed was twenty knots, but after the naval appropriation bill was passed, it was found that in con ference the speed had been raised to twenty-one knots, and Mr. Melville de cided that the ship should have from 20,000 to 21,000 horse power, and at once began to lay out the engines and boilers. It soon became apparent that twin screw engines would not do, because of their siite and the fact that they wonld be very extravagant in the use of steam at the ordinary cruisintf speed. Besides this the space that could be given up to machinery was restricted, and would not be satisfactory for twin screw en gines. Mr. Melville then decided that triple screw engines were the only ones that would do, and at once set about the preliminary design. Through the course of her construction he has watched the machinery carefully, and the success which she has achieved marks a new era in marine propulsion. Tell known writer, recently re turned from India, expresses great fears for the future of English and American women. He apprehends that they will eventually resemble the people of a hill region above the Brahmapootra Valley, with whom he has had dealings. There, be asserts, the women are supreme. They woo the men, they control the af fairs of the home and the nation, prop erty descends through them ; bnt, note the sequel they are the very ugliest women on the face of the earth. Clever women have possessed for a long time the permission to be ngly, and some times, it must be admitted, they rather base this privilege. Bat, while many talent may choke oat beauty with dis astrous jealousy, the notion that what a woman gains intellectually by higher education she loses in beauty and grace ought to be relinquished.

One of the most difficult problems the old citizen curt Ik- asked to solve is the present position of the river to ward the commerce of the city. A quarter of a century upo. suys the St. Louis t;iole-IVniocrat, it was every thing. It was Imth the feeding and distributing1 artery. People enguged in building, locating for life, could sec prosperity only near its waters. Ad vised that business would soon be go ing west thev could only respond by the question: "I)o you see that river? I Is it going to move'.'" Created avenues of trade were just !cginningto receive attention, due to the rivalry of other points which were not blessed with a natural highway. The posses sion of this nature-given avenue of commerce had. in fact, made the aver age St. Louisian neglectful and di iluinful of the created avenue. Life that did not begin and end un the river was not worth talking about. The man who wanted to go to Cairo, .Mem phis. Vicksburg or .New Orleans never tlrmight of rail.
