extent with that of tho Cramps. In San Francisco and at various points along tho Atlantic coast thore aro shipyards whose output Is of excellent design and quality, but none has so thoroughly krpt abrcaSt of the times as those from which the St. Louis and St. Paul were launched The lowering of the transat
 lantic record by these boats, however, would undoubtedly be of great advan' tage to all American yards, for it could mean nothing less than q revival ln American shipbuilding-nOt perhaps tC its old time relative importance, but tG q much higher position among the na- tion's industries than it now maintains.
 Aside from the changed general con. ditions that folluWc,i l.,c : t'.,t struggle of lSG1-5, one of thc most important factors ill the disappearance of the other yards in Philadelphia and the general decline of the industry this side of the Atlantic was the change of material from wood to iron, and later to steel, and the substitution of steam for sails Rs the propolling power. To the great changes ill these things Cramps yards were the first fully to adapt themselves. Some of the Maine yards finally accept
 ed the situation only year or two ago, and many other building establishments have been almost equally slow. When the real significance of the change is un- derstood, it is not surprising that there was hesitation. As matter of cold fact, none Eut practical shipbuildcr can understand this, but some notion may be gained from the statement that it involved the dscarding of almost every woodworking tool and machine ill the entire establishment and the substitu- tion of tools and machines for the work ing of iron and steel. The expense of such substitution must have been very great, even i'll comparatively small yards, but in reality it was less impor- tant perhaps than the necessary substi' tuition of new skill for the old, Not only had the adz to be supplanted by the blacksmith's hammer, the saw and the -.l"',r hu tFA rolling mill and the hY.

is possessed ill America by the Bethle- hem Iron works only, and its managers purchased the process, which is unpat- ented, for a cool $1 ,Q00, ,000 ill England, 'tis said, and propose to keep it secret as long as possible.
 Notwithstanding the fact that hol low shafts cannot be forged at Cramps the yards and shops there abound with wonders, such as the great floating der rick that can lift the heaviest boiler ever made as easily as you can pick up an apple, the locomotive crane, the won derful hydraulic apparatus of various sorts by which great masses of cold iron are easily and accurately bent and shap- ed. One of the most interesting opera tions have ever witnessed at Cramps is the bending of the steel ribs of mod crn ships. This work is done at what is known as "the furnace. The floor of this place is of iron, honeycombed with square holes. The ribs are surprisingly small and arc either l. bars, z bars or channel bars of not more than an inch ill thickness and from 8 to inches in dimensions, the channel bars of the lin CTS, the largest frames used, being only 1 by inches. Wooden patterns of eX- actly the shape to which the ribs are to be bent are furnished to the furnace foreman, who chalks the shape upon tho iron floor. Then iron pegs are put into the holes along the inner edge of the challled pattern, the ribs are heated Q cherry red, and dozen men with queer looking tools seize the slender looking bars and quickly bend them to the re- Quired curves.
 It is fun, too, to watch the big cleo trio drill boring holes in a boiler shell for the rivets that are to hold the parts of the shell together iii spite of the tre- mendous pressure now carried ill the boilers of ocean going boats. The cut presented with this may fail to give all idea of the size of the machine, but it will be gathered perhaps from the rela- tive size of the mon upon and near the drill ill the picture and the statement that the drill standard is IS or 20 feet high.
 The Cralnp yards employ from 4,500 to 5000 men, and the weekly pay rol, is about $GO, ,00O If there be any who more than Charles H. Cramp himself arc hoping for high speed from the St. Louis and St. Paul, it is these workmen. M. l. DEXTER.

vicious burst of speed in the last few rods of race has earned for him the very ap- propriate sobriquct of Cannon Ball'' Bald
 Many whcclmen who are spcculating upon what class B racing man will attain the position of American champion this year think Bald bids fair to outridc all competitors.
 Last season Bald competed at all the leading race meets and won a valuable list of prizes and lowered several records, in cluding the half mile competition record, which he placed at one minute flat.
 Early this year he went to California with the Columbia team to prepare for the spring tournaments, and while at San Jose recently lowered the one mile rec ord in ? minutes seconds in competition and the two mile record to minutes 15 1-5 seconds Both thcSo arc worlds rec ords and help strengthen the belief that Bald, who is one of the youngest riders in class B, will prove one of the leading rac- ing men of this season.
 While in California Bald rode rings around Otto Zicglcr, the young San Jose crack, who made such q record at the l.. A. W. championships and then prudently returned home before his rivals had ;tn op- pOrtunity of testing him further. Bald has several times defeated Cabanne and Sang CT this year, and at tho opening races on the new ManhattaE Beach track he worst ed C. M. Murphy, Ray Macdonald Zie- glcr and A. ]. Brown ill q fast mile that was negotiated ill , minutes , 5 seconds. Bcforr he became a crack wheelman Bald was q butchers boy.

ANI'N!p M' "'iiA III tilha Ill 1869. Tho history of ,'.N ra:r i; intrrc ting. The clAimmt. Antonio Max;mu Mora, now a resident of Kew York. Was born i'll Cul'a and iuht rit~tl |. vast ,,statr, con SistinS mainly rf Hn extensive sugar plantation. In l%5:} he left his planta- tion ill tho hands of trusted employees and went to New York, where he cstab- lishcd the commercial house of Mora, Navarro & Co. In May. 1869, he took out his final naturalization papers and became an American citizen.
 Ill the Cuban rebellion of 1869 Mora was uIliustly accused of aiding thv in surgcntS. Unfortunately he chanced to be ill Cuha at the time. A court martial was hastily convened at Havana, and Mora was condemned to death, and his valuable estates were confiscatcd despite the fact that he was d citizen of the United States. After suffering great pri- vations and enduring many perils he finally escaped to New York ill the dis guise of sailor.
 Tho attention of Hamilton Fish, then secretary of state, was called to the out rage, and Caleb Cushing. United States minister to Madrid, was directed to of ficially protest against the sentence of the court martial and demand repara- tion. The Spanish government, though tacitly admitting tho justice of the claim, pursued an cvasivc and dilatory policy regarding it, and years wcre passed ill intellectual negotiations and correspondence.
 When Alfonso came to the throne, among the earliest acts of his adminis- tration was to order the restitution of Morals estates, but the Cuban authori- ties refused to obey the order On the contrary, they sold tho estates.
 NoluminouS and intellectual core spundcncc followed for the next ten years. In 1NN6 the Spanish cortcs offer ed a compromise, agreeing to pay Mora $1 ,5OO, ,O00 indemnity, which was but a small portion of the original value of the property. This Mora accepted, but the money has not yet been paid Our government now demands prompt pay ment of the amount, with interest from ISS6.

The inconvenience and occasionally ac- tual hardship suffered by the men were keen, though by the world at large little noted, as indeed arc most sufferings from readjustments due to improve mentS.
 It was originally the aim of the Cramps to produce every part of their ships upon their own premises, and for this reason they added the engine build ing department and later the ordnance shop, but it is not now possible for them to make nearly everything they use. Most of the ships frames, for instance, come to them ready rolled and cut and have only to be bent to form at Cramps. The plates also come all cut, needing only to be shaped. These things it is considered more economical to buy per haps, but there is one big purchase made of necessity for every steamer nowadays that the Cramps and probably every oth- CT shipbuilder in America would gladly make for himself if he could, and for the secret of making which he would be willing to pay right handsomely. Now adays the shafts are forged hollow, be- cause hollow shafts are much stronger than solid ones, according to weight. But the ability to make these forgings
