WARSHIP FOR JAPAN.
Two Of Them May Be Built In This
Country.


WASHINGTON, March 16.-Evioences OF
great activity, political and commercial,
in the affairs of Japan, China and the
countries as far cast come TO the legations
here. AS a result of Japan's prosperity.
brought about by the successes In the
war with China, that country has not
only determined to largely augment her
navy, but also to establish commercial
steamship lines connecting the United
States with Japan. The Japan Steam
Navigation COMPANY, is preparing 10 en-
ter this new field, running between an
Francisco and Yokohama in competition
with the Pacific Mail and Oriental and
Occidental lines now controlling this
trade. New steamers are TO be built, and
the representative OF the company has re-
Gently passed through Washington, on
his wey to contract for the ships, two of
which probably VIII be built in this
country and two in Egland. They will be
OF COCO to 5000 tons burden and of a speed
several knots greater than the ships now
in the Pacific service.
There appears to be little doubt that
two OF Japan's new warships will be built
IN the United States and although the
contracts have not been let, the lndica-
tions are that the Cramps OF Philadelphia
will build one and the Union Iron Works
OF San Francisco the other. The japanese
parliament has passed the naval appropri-
alton bill, giving go, 600, 0O0 for the single
item of new warships. AS this will cover
only the first years payments, the aggre-
gate expenditure on the increased navy
promises to be very large during the sew
erai years that the vessels are under con-
struction.
Representatives of the American ship
building firms are ct present in Japan,
thus marking a new departure in the
American builders seeking to place their
ships abroad. Heretofore the Armstrong;
and other large English ship builders
have been the only ones represented at the
foreign capitals.

international Marriages.

According to London social authori-
ties, the American girl has had her day
In Great Britain. English girls have
so profited by the stimulus afforded by
American competition that they have
developed an astonishing amount Of
social tact and brilliancy and can no
longer be beaten on their own ground.
The gloreies of the international mar
rage have been much prated of, and 1t
will be sad blow to the American
debutantes to yield their aspirations
to gilded British titles and poverty
stricken British estates. The British
mamma, however, and the American
papa will, it Is limited, be OF one mind
in approving the new order OF things.
A system that would keep English lords
and American dollars where they in
dividually belong would instantly COM
mend itself.

LITTLE BABY CARROLL.

Several months ago, while the Durrant
case was the one absorbing topic of
public interest, tiny Miss Ethel heard
her mother read several of the lengthy
newspaper reports. Since then the sub
feet has not been mentioned until one
day last week, when, for the purpose Of
testing her memory, the matter was re-
called. She at once went over the entire
subject, using language almost identical
with that Of the newspaper articles.
Her answers to questions often took the
form of quotation of entire sentences,
and these she repeated perfectly after
the lapse of so many months without,
perhaps, understanding their meaning.
Recently hel. wonderful memory was
put to severe test at concert recital
in Oakland. After the performance she
was asked If she remembered certain
recitation on the programme remarka-
BILE alike for its length and peculiar
phrasing. She had never heard it be-
fore, but with confident smile and
certain enchanting carelessness of man.
ner, she recited the entire piece without
a single break.
It will be interesting TO note as this
child grows cider whether her memory
broadens with age, or whether, as in
the case of the famous italian boy
mathematician, it lapses altogether and
leaves her more stupid than the veriest
infant

LITTLE BABY CARROLL
Known In San Francisco as the
Human Photograph.
Although But Four Years Old She Can
Repeat Anything She Has Ever
Heard, and Sings Long Songs
without q Break.

Baby Ethel Carroll, of Oakland, CAL,
is human monograph. Every word
of a conversation-no matter how long
names, dates, figures and bits Of ora
tory of all degrees of merit, songs and
jokes spoken il her presence, seem to
register themselves indelibly upon her
brain, and by virtue of her remarkable
memory she is able to recall them, word
for werd, even though it be weeks and
months after. At her age-for she is
only four years old-much that she
hears no doubt is quite unintelligible
to her as are the words of photograph
to q. wild beast. She simply repeats
everything from memory, without
knowing aught of the text of her words.
AT the Hotel Crellin, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, where she lives with
her parents, she is the idol and wonder
of all who know her, for she is as pretty
as she is clever. The first time that the
child showed her phenomenal trafewas
at the age of IL months. At that time
she was taken to see one of Hoyt's plays
at the Macdcnough theater. Upon re-
turning to her home she surprised every
one by repeating word for word one of
the popular songs. From that time un-
til now little Ethel has been a regular
playgoer.
Now, at the age of four, her memory
has developed so remarkably that it is
common thing for her, after seeing
new play, to sing, without a single mis-
take or the least sign of hesitation, song
after song, that she has never heard be-
fore. She can also repeat the lines Of
the play with wonderful correctness.
The child has retentive memory for
names and dates. In spite of the fact
that large numbers of people see her
daily, drawn by curiosity, she never
forgets the name of anyone who Is in
troduced to her, and can tell even the
exact day when she first met them,
though it may be months after.
1t is strange indeed to hear Ethel talk
about questions of public interest that
have been discussed within her hearing.

claimed the selection of the ground. the
monkey stipulated that any method of
arriving at the goalshould be deemed
fair.
"This," said the monkey, els nee

The judges said the monkey should
be allowed his way, and that any
method OF arriving at the end of the
race should be allowed. When all
was ready, and the signal given, the
monkey sprung nimbly upon the dog'n
back, clasping him tightly around the
neck, at the same time squirting him
on. When near the end of the racing
ground the monkey suddenly jumped
