MAGNIFICENT.‘ EQUIPMENT OF THE KAISER WILHELM oseesosss. She Cost in the Neighborhood of $35,000,- 000, Can Carry Nearly Five Thousand Tons of Coal and Her Crc w Consists of About Four Hundred and Fifty. Men. When the dimensions of the Noridi German Lloyd’s new liner Kaiser Wil- helm der Grosse became known to the public, long before she started on her first voyage across the ocean, all per- sons who had followed. the develop- ment of modern ocean transportation looked for her arrival with great in- terest, and much speculation was in dulged in as to what time she would make and how a ship which was as long as three and a quarter city blocks, with a tonnage of fourteen thousand and a displacement of twenty thousand tons, would ride the autumn seas. Her builders and owners made many prom- ises as to the,great ship’s speed and her steadiness. These promises have all been fully realized. A new ship, fresh from the hands of the builder, with everything about it the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, being larger than any vessel ever launched, except the Great Eastern, and having broken the record for speed on her first trip, became doubly interesting. But when it is known that this gi- gantic floating palace was built at a cost of about $3,500,000, and that its constructors had orders to produce a ship as nearly perfect as possible, one need not wonder at the result. The capacity of the vessel may be judged by the fact that she can carry about five thousand tons of coal in her bunk- ers, although she needs less than one- half that amount on a trip. Her work- ing crew consists of about four hun- dred and fifty men, of whom seventeen are engineers, eighteen are oilers, seventy—five coal passers, ninety stok- ers. The vessel is lighted by electric- ity throughout, there being sixteen hundred incandescent lights of twenty— five candle—power each. ‘The first cabin passengers have the middle of the vessel for themselves, the after part being the second cabin and forward the steerage. Each div— ision is arranged so that it does not interfere with the others. The visitor on board the vessel finds himself/con- fronted at every turn with something to admire, but the feature which to the casual observer is the most striking is the great dining-room with accommo- dation‘s for three hundred and fifty persons, and the smaller dining-rooms with which it connects. This room is reached by the main staircase. Soit carpets cover the floor, easy chairs are fixed about the tables, and the entire room is decorated in light colors. The small dining-rooms are at each end of the great saloon. 'They are four in number, and bear the names Bismarck, Moltke, Auguste and Luise. Each room is decorated differently, and each contains a life-size portrait of the per- son for whom it was named, besides other pictures and a'ppropriate‘dééoraI- tions. Ample provision has been made for those who travel second class, and so temptingly have these quarters been arranged that many people will take advantage of the opportunity to save the difference in the price of tickets. The beautiful cabins, the promenade deck 400 feet long, the luxurious bath- rooms, cold storage rooms, the pictures, burnished glass and metal and the great sweep of deck with its four smokestacks as one views the vessel from the bridge, all make a decided impression on the visitor, but he ‘can form no adequate idea of the magni- tude of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse unless he explores the lower regions. She is 43 feet deep and div- ided ' by sixteen strong traverse bulkheads, all extending to the upper deck, and by one longi- tudinal bulkhead in the engine room into eighteen water-tight compartments, so that even with three compartments filled with water the vessel would not sink. .There are four groups of boilers, each placed in a separate water-tight compartment, so that in case of collision the vessel would never be without steam to work her main engines and pumps. 'A double bottom extends over the whole length of the vessel, and this is div- ided into twenty-two subdivisions. A Milsicul Mousetrap. , Acting upon the idea that mice are very sensitive to music a Belgian man- ufacturer has substituted a musical mousetrap for the common trap. In— stead of halting the apparatus with a bit ohcheese or lard the inventor has hidden in a double bottom a small music box, which plays automatically various popular airs of the country. The mice he insists, are drawn irres— istibly toward the music box, and in order to hear better they step intO the trap and find themselves prisoners! Unlocked For.
