Some of these had managed to run out and

the solitary pile, oblivious to the gaze of
10000 people, oblivious to the raw, fog
ridden October wind that blew damply
from the south, Oblivious to everything
save the great scarlet and lead-coored
hull that, stern on, lay half-hidden in the
gigantic wooden cradle prepared for her
two years ago. The sleeping beauty Of
the Pacific would soon awaken from her
long slumber and glide along the inclined
way TO the arms OF her waiting prince, the
sea. What mattered wet skin and a cold
wind to him who might witness the
wondrous sight?
The seafaring craft were gathered in
force about the docks. There were stately
steamers and great ships with every avail
able inch OF deckroom and rigging occupied
by sightseeing humanity. Up in the tops
of the new cruiser Olympia, pearly ready
for her trial trip, dozens of people stood.

racing shells, dotted the water in every
direction. From the forward decks of the
Mcdowell and the Sea Queen, sweet
strains of music fiOated upon the air.
Sketchers and kodak fends were as the
sands of the seashore, innumerable, every
one busy getting views of the thrilling
scene. Seven bells struck on board the
Rush. The beauty had yet sixteen minutes
to sleep. and still the craft kept coming up.
The big steamer Ukiah crowded in, loaded
to the waters edge, one solid mass of
human freight. The stern-wheeler Caro-

and proceeded to bump around promis-
cuously among the assembled fleet. Up on

it against the ships side just as the bow

While the visitors were assembling the
band played popular airs and all chatted
and enjoyed themselves. Arranged along
the side of the ways at height level with
the grand stand were two platforms upon
which were seats that would accommO-
date thousand people. Special tickets
entitled persons to admission there. and
the space was early occupied. Mean while
the ground space in the vicinity of the mon
ster hull was being flied, and so was every
point of vantage above the level, men and
boys vying with one another as to who
might reach the highest place. Cameras
were hosted to the roofs of adjacent
buildings and kodaks were carried upon
their owners Backs. The photographers,
amateur and professional, were in imm-
nent danger of falling to the ground. but
that seemed to only add to the novelty of
the situation. From the grand stand could
be seen crowds Of people who had gath
cred on the beach across the waterway
into which the Oregon would plunge and
the flotilla that had gathered outside.

feet at anchor in gayety. The Wala
Walla, drawn up in the drydock, was also
in gala dress and hundreds were on her
deck. Other vessels in the yard were SINH
larly decorated.
About IL o'clock the sounds Of hundreds
of hammers could be heard above the mu-
sic of the bands, for by this time the in
struments of the Presidio corps had Joined
with the others. These noises told that
workmen were busy knocking away the

clothes torn. while plumber of pieces of

The navy-yard band was taken to this
platform as soon as the Monarch arrived.
In this place of honor were members of
the launching party, Governor Markham

son of the navy-yard, army officers from
the forts, members Of the Engineering
Corps and officers from ships in the yard.
A low table was on the platform just in
front of and touching the mass of iron.
On it were two electrical instruments that
resembled the keys in a telegraph Office.
A wire from one led to huge knife, the
dropping of which would sever the few
ropes that were the only bands holding
the great hull on land. The other wire
carried electricity to bit Of mechanism
at the top of steel rod that was placed
to the right of the table. Pendent from an
arm of this rod was bottle of champagne
incased in red, white and blue ribbons.
Pressure of the second key would release
the lever and the beverage-laden recepta-

Science is pressing relentlessly ON the
heels Of the microbe. The latest method
Of coping with this minute but potent
source Of disease is toliterally cast it out
Of the abiding place in which it has in
stalled itself. Heterogeneous contain
substances for the most part heavier
than water, and this fact has led to the
introduction of a method Of separating
them from water, milk and other liquids

DR.. Wynter Blyth, the medical officer
of health for Marylebone, is the sworn
enemy Of high game, on the perfectly
consistent ground that no valid distinc-
ton can be drawn between decomposi-
ton in the rabbit and the same process
in the hare. II one be injurious, he OBJ
served, 80 must be the other, and though
he does not venture to suggest the prose-
cution of vendors Of game under the san.
itary laws. he does not hesitate to de.
scribe this culinary eccentricity as q
Filthy and disgusting habit" His argu-
ments, however, are double edged. d.
hitting that decomposing rabbit is lily
as injurious as highly favored pheasant,
we are at liberty to argue that, as the
consumption of high game is seldom fol-
lowed by toxic symptoms, the prohibi-
ton in respect of decomposing meat gen.
orally Is unnecessary.
Common experience seems to show
that the products Of ordinary decompo-
sition, at any rate in its earlier stage,
are destroyed or rendered inert by cook
ing; otherwise the mortality among the
disciples of Lucullus In the upper classes
would be phenomenal. The danger lies
presumably in the fact that decompos-
ing animal tissues afford suitable me-
dunn for the autocultivation Of bac-
terra other than those Of decomposition,
the toxic products whereof may resist
the influence Of high temperature. We
