or course Huxley did not mean 10. but he has
cast q gloom over the oysters prospects. The
cardinal reason why the favorite son of Bluepoint
has been so greatly and generally beloved is be-
cause of the reputation he has enjoyed for I'M

elegant aame of "bvalve" he has never pre-
tended to be more complicated than a watch. On
the contrary his ambition has been simply TO die

performed that heroic duty faithfully and unosten-

sands of admirers. When he finds himself ex.
posed to the fierce white light that beats upon
him from Huxley's Characterization. he will feel

The writer Of the letter. Mr.. M. b. Anderson
makes the interesting suggestion that the En-
postion should contain a complete exhibit of
the progress of transportation on both land
and water from Columbus's time TO ours. This
would be an instructive and valuable feature
of the Fair. Still concrete illustration, out
side CT the Fair grounds, of the capacity to
handle, say 300, 600 visitors in one day with
ease, comfort and reasonable rapidity would
appeal more powerfully to the majority OF
people. At all events, this practical demon

N4VdL PROGRESS.

The progress Of the new navy during the
last seven years is reviewed in Washington
dispatch on another page. The Legislators who
have made appropriations for cruisers a2d
battle-ships have been long way in advance
Of the facilities of the Department for design
ing and constructing them. This is shown bv
the statement that in addition TO the vessels
which have either been completed or contract
ed for seventeen ships Of various classes have
been authorized. Eighteen vessels have been
designed. and arc either now a1oat or in vari-
ans stages Of construction. But Congress has
granted the requisite authority for doublno
the strength Of this fleet. and the Department
has been unable to avail itself promptly of the
mowers conferred upon il. Fair progress has
been made. however and if the new vessels
fulfil expectations the navy promises in the
course of a few years to be one in which Ameri'
cans can Justly take pride Only one serious
blunder has been revealed-the faulty design
ing of the Texas, which was exposed In the
columns of THE TRIBUNE during the last year
Of the Cleveland Administration. Much OF the
work is still to be taken on faith, as the fast
cruisers, with one exception, have not been
officially tested but there are strong grounds
for hope that nea ~ all the vessels now under
contract will be creditable additions to the
navy.
The method now employed in obtaining APP
plopriations for new vessels is open to crit
icism. Congress grants the money for the
construction Of vessels which have not been
designed and desgnates limit Of cost The
DEPARTMENT then sets its engineers to woSi to
prepafe plans which are offered for the con-
sideration of competing naval bidders. The
result is that the proposals exceed the limit
of cost and delay is caused generally ending
in supplemental legislation. Would it not be
well to reverse this process? Let the Depart
ment design the vessel, and then ask Congress
for authority to construct it. This would seem

THE OYSTER IN 4 NER ROLE.

We had not intended to make PERSONAL of

TO leave his return to his accustomed hauhts UNI

This polcv we have consigned to the waste basket

which revived frivolous references to the relation

Why, then are we writing about the oyster
now? because of notable observation when
lately dropped from the lips Of Professor Huxley.

when this slippery morsel glides along the palate
few people imagine that they are swallowing a
niece of machinery far more complicated than a
watch This presents the oyster in a new and
startling light and accordingly VT feel warranted
in breaking our resolution not TO handle him this
September. That Huxley is right in his assertion
scarcely admits of argument Few people imagine
they are swallowing n piece Of machinery far

eating oysters That is Iluxey'S contention We
quite agree with him Let anybody who is III
cIined to challenge the truth of the assertion

report upon the result when he gets them down.
We question if more than one man in a million
realizes that he is swallowing any sort OF mat

Scientists may catalogue him under that prosac

that those who favor that site for the conten-
plated municipal building will not fail to make
their wishes known. Should there be no loud
voice raised against the slightest further en-
eroachment on this narrow area apparently the
matter will go by default the nondescript and
unsightly building will be reared and the Park
wiped out. We do not believe that is what
the people Of this city desire. We believe
they do not want this tiny Park infringed upon
bv q single inch. Then let them speak ont at
to-day's meeting and compel the officials
charged with the erection of this building to
give heed and pause; and as soon as the Legs-
lature meets let law be passed forbidding the
construction of any building whatever within
the City Hall Park. Delay in this matter is
dangerous in the extreme.

DRIZZLE AND SLUSH.
Old Prob Exhibits Himsc!fIn Very
Unpleasant Manner.

Sergeant Welsh, of the local weathe OBJ
servatory, sat in his Office on the top floor of
the government building Monday night and
yesterday keeping his weather eye" on the
falling barometer, and calculating that every
time it dropped a notch some unfortunate
pedestrian dropped also on the ice coated
sidewalks, or fell in the slush of the cross
ings A mixture of rain and sleet began to fall
at an early hour Monday evening, freezing on
the walks as fast as it landed and making
walking extremely hazardous. People on
their way home from business were greatly
annoyed, and it was no better yesterday
The slush of the streets was considerably
safer to travel through than the treacherous
sidewalks, and but very few ventured on the
latter.
Throughout the forenoon drilling and
penetrating rain kept falling, and there were
but little hopes for change before night.
The wind was IN southwcsterly direction,
and was distressing to the barometer, which
was low and sluggish, Until the wind shifts
it will remain in this state, but hopes were
entertained that it would change its course
by nightfall, and with it bring some of the
cold weather which is prevailing in the
northwest.

Death of Mrs. Henry.

Died, January 4, at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. Cade, in Taylor county, Iowa,

Mrs. Laura Henry wife OF Andrew Henry.
Laura WIscl was born in Geneseo county,
New York. September 25, 1922. When about
thirteen years OF age she removed with her
parents to Steubens county, Indiana, where
she was married to Andrew Henry, August
10, 1882 with whom she has lived for nearly
fifty years. In 1851 she removed with her
family to Vernon county, Wisconsin,, aud
from there TO Taylor county in 1864, where
she has since resided. At an early age she
united with the Christian church, but on re-
moving to Wisconsin she united with the NJ.
E. church, where her membership has since
remained. She leaves an aged husband and
five children all of whom were present at
her funeral to mourn her loss. She was q
consistent Christian, a true and devoted wife
and loving mother. Her last thoughts
were for ana of her loved ones. Many were
the prayers and tears offered up to the
throne of grace in their behalf.
