EXTRAyAGANCIES OF THE ADMINS

4 short time ago a number Of workmen
were dismissed by the Secretary OF the
Navy, Mr.. Upshur, and the attempt was
made to saddle the blame on the last Con-
gress, but the following letter to the EdI-
tor of the Baltimore Patriot will show how
part Of the money has been expended
Only think of expanding 100000 to make
the smoke descend instead Of ascending
it is really laughable. But let Congress
sif the matter.
WAsulYGroN, D. c., Dec. Q, 1919.
An effort has been made BY The friends
of the late Secretary of the Navy, Mr..
Upshur,) and the President, 10 saddle the
blame OF the dismissal of the workmen on
the shoulders OF the late Congress. | will
not attempt to establish the fact that more
money was appropriated for the Naval
service by the last session Of Congress
than at any other, because that has been
proved BY documents, but | will only point
out how part OF it has been sqnandered
away.
Let the House Of Representatives call
on the Navy Department, and they will
find that sixty thousand dollars were was.
ted on the steamer Missouri, in attempting
to make the smoke descend, instead Of as
cending according to The laws of nature !;
she has since been burned, and there is
an end 10 tiro millions of dollars every
cent of which she cost the nation. Mr..
Upshur has introduced into the Navy
Yards by the dozen, at large salaries, Pro-
fessors of various descriptions, and whose
operations | am told cost the Government
thousands of dollars. All this has been
done without the authority Of Congress.
lie has authorized contracts TO be made
for materials in the equipment Of ships,
which will last for wears. Contracts for
provisions, clothing and tobacco, for the
Navy. have been lie, out for :he next three
years at eXtrayagant prices, TO political
/ friends, when the store houses in the navy
yards are filed with these articles; and
without law, and in violation Of law, has

TYPE SETTING.

Among all the inventions of the present
century, none hitherto has been found TO
supcrscdo the use Of fingers IN setting up
,ype. The necessity Of reading, spelling,
and punctuatiug the matter IN hand, has
been thought to be an lusuperablc oblec.
ton. A gentleman Of Troy has, however,
invented n machine which, il is supposed
by some, will answer. The composltor is
now, instead Of standing at his case, and
picking up the type with his fingers, to sit
n, a machine like a pianolorte, and work
the keys according TO copy before him,
