Doubt Among Naval Constructors as to
Her Structural strength

Her Structural strength
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. S.-The
FUN official report Of the damage sustain
ed by the battle-ship Texas at the Nor
folk Navy yard. through the bending and
giving away of the floor supporting the
boilers, has not yet reached the Navy
Department. The officials ARE hopeful
that the case is not as bad as reported
and are awaiting with interest the re-
suit OF the examination which will short
is be made. when the vessel is put into
the dock for the purpose Of placing the
armor upon the ship
There has always been more or Jess
doubt I'm the minds OF naval cOnstruc-
tors touching the structural strength Of
this particular vessel. She was design
ed by the celebrated English John, OF
the Barrow ship building company. and
this design was selected from a large
number submitted in answer TO a call
issued by Secretary Whitney at the be
ginning OF his administration by a board
appointed for the purpose OF which the
late Mr. Burgess. the yatch designer was
a minister After the acceptance of the
plan grave doubts arose as TO the float
ing OF the vessel and some experts
held that. II the designs were carried
out. she could not float at all. This view
was vigorously combated by Construc-
tor Bowles, who was charged with the
superintendent Of the construction of
the ship. Finally, a board of experts
was appointed TO carefully verify the
calculations Of weights. and they report
ed that there was a margin OF thirty
tons in favor Of Mr. Powles conten-
ton. This was a narrow limit for a YES
sci Of 5000 tons. and If it becomes neces-
sary to add much weight In the attempt
10 strengthen the frames in double bot
tom. so that they can safely carry the
weight Of the eighty ton boilers. the
problem may become a serious one.

A strange romance was ended by the
death of Mary Refs, who for 80 years led
a lonely life because her parents forbade
an early marriage Her body was found
in the little house near Stonersville. She
was 70 years old. When a girl, she fell
in love with a young man whom her
parents did not admire, and they forbade
her marriage. This broke Mary's heart,
and her home had no more charms fol
her. She preferred to live by herself,
and she refused to accept the hospitality
of friends or neighbors, saying that all
the world was against her. Twenty
years ago she moved into the little stone
house, and after that she rarely saw any.
