THE CHICAGO.
A Cruiser That Has FULFILLED the CondI-

A Cruiser That Has Fulfilled the CondI-
tlons on Which It Was Built.
When it was determined 10 reconstruct the
United States navy some years ago, John
Roach, OF Chester, Pa, was given a contract
to build four steel vessels. Tho last Of these,
the Chicago, made her trial trip in December
last.
The Chicago was without masts or guns.
but was weighted to bring her down to the
mean draft when these are furnished. The
trial trip was made under tho command of
Capt. II. B. Robson on Long Island sound. a
run of six hours at full speed. Starting at
Execution rocks she steamed eastward for
three and half hours, then westward for
two and half hours-the tide being adverse
both ways--returning to the Brooklyn navy
yard.
The Chicago is twin screw cruiser. Her
length is 1884 Is feet over all; depth, 4S4
feet from cardboard streak to under side of
spar deck; extreme breadth, 4S Is feet:
main draught at lead line, 10 feet; displace-
ment $500 tons; indicated horse power.
1900. She is divided into ten main
water tight compartments, four of which,
amidShips, are occupied by boilers and en-
gines, with q double bottom underneath.
Her power consists Of two compound over
head beam engines, which has led to some
sharp criticism by English authorities in
naval architecture, it being claimed that
such machines are obsolete Tho engines are
also regarded too heavy for tho amount of
power developed, and the boilers are con-
sidered faulty. The cruiser will DO bark
rugged. The trip was quite successful, the
power developed being quite up to the re-
quirements of the contract. She will, how
ever, take considerable water, as was shown
on the trial trip.

respect for to expose them in their old
age to . heartless world. But I never
met anybody who had not o pet joke

found enjoyment rs often as he could

Of beer he said sententiously:

They laughed, and he used to get
this thing off before every stranger who
came to the table. 1t got tiresome.
One evening there was o crowd at din
ner, and just as he. was getting ready to
fire it off the gentleman at the head OF
the table rose up, with a glass of beer
in his hand, and said solemuly:
Gentlemen, beer flls many a bot

The gentleman at the foot of the table
rose after him aud said equally
solemnly:
"And the bottle fills many a bier"
This ceremony they kept up for
awhile every evening to break the Joker.

An Oddly in Nature.

A curious city-like groupe of rocks
near Millau, France, has been described
to the Paris Academy of Sciences. 1t
is about $500 feet above the sea. and
is known as Montpellier-le-V ieux. An
irregular mass of rocks some 200 feet
high resembles the towers of a citidel;
and this is surrounded by five depres-
sions 300 or 400 feet deep, of which one
appears like an ampitheatre, a second
a metropolis, a third a parade-ground,
and another a regularly laid out city
quarter with public monuments. gates,
straight streets and intersections, sug-
costing at once such places as Pompeii.
Carnac, and Persepolis. The whole,
of some 200 acres, is surrounded by a
rocky wall 800 or 400 feet high, while
the ravines beneath and the neighbour
ing rock-groups add to the fortified
appearance.

entered a crowded street-car. A long
whiskered old fellow, wearing a dingy
SLOUGH hat and a suit of home-spun
clothes, got up and said:
. miss, take my seat. / don't look as
we'll as these here gentlemen"-nodding
at several men-"but I've diskivered
that I've got more p~oliteness."
The young woman sat down without
thanking the old fellow; and, slyly
winking at o woman whom she knew,
whispered:
"How do you like my gallant coun-
try Hoosier? Don't you think that he
would cut quite a figure in a dime
museum?"

smile which clearly bespoke his I'M
consciousness of the u%nladylike ridi-
cule, II b'leve I left my pocketbook
thar on that seat. Will you please git
up a m~inite? ?"
The young woman got up. The old
fellow sat down. and, stroking his
whiskers, remarked:
"Bleve Til just keep on a settin'

was q common feature OF social life. and old
and young, for miles around, were partlci-
pants. They were a hardy race. perhaps
because they enjoyed themselves. took
plenty Of exercise and but little medicine.
They enjoyed a rugged old age. because
they found medicine for their simple ALL
