NOAH'S ARK A PERFECT SAILING VESSEL.

A COPENHAGEN engineer has built a vessel as near as possible like Noah's ark, altho only about one-tenth its actual size. The descriptions in the Bible have been followed, and the outlines taken from the most ancient representation known of the ark, which is given on a coin of 300 B.C. Recently a trial trip was taken, and the ark, which is of 200 tons' burden, behaved splendidly. The vessel is declared by marine experts to be not only the simplest kind of vessel possible, but also a masterpiece of shipbuilding, upon which the latest developments of the craft could devise no improvement.—Manhattan (Kan.)
