CRIPPLING TIE NAVY.
Men Of War to Lie Up and Rot
to Make a Record for
Economy.

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1S97.-The
new naval administration will soon take
under consideration plans already ma
tured by naval experts for laying up
some of the United States warships in
reserve according to the practice of every
European navy. Last year, exclusive of
the coast survey vessels, sixty-one ships
were kept in active service at an expen-
diture of $S,000,000 and in many instances
with little regard to economical business
methods.
The Asiatic squadron, which had been
reinforced to six ships during the China
Japanese war to-protect American inter-
ests. was maintained intact after the ne
cessity for such strength had disappeared.
Four of the finest ships were kept in the
Mediterranean most of the time in the
single port of Smyrna, when, in the opin-
ion of experienced naval officers, one
good vessel would have accomplished the
same result. On the Atlantic home sta
ton the Cuban complication led to wise
exhibition of naval preparedness to-
use Captain Mahan's coinage, which
caused a severe strain on the amount
held in precarious treasury for naval
emergencies.
The question of holding ships in reserve
is one OF paramount Importance when it
is considered that the cruiser New York
cost ,131 per day last year. The follow
ing table shows what would be saved in
putting the ships in reSaryn.-

veritan's Harp.


The most gigantic harp ever cnstructed. as
far as the records goes, was that made by
Veritan, the Provost Of Burkli, near Basel
Switzerland, in 1887 That was long while
ago, but the fame of M. Veritan's gigantic harp
was such that it is still occasionally mentioned
by writer's on the rare and the WONDERFUL
just as the sea serpent, bloody rain live
Mastadons, ETC., are says an exchange. M
veritan's colossal instrument was about 800
feet in length. and, on that account was
constructed in an open lot instead of in a
harp factory.
1t was most simple in construction, con-
sisting Of f1ftenn wires strung tightly between
two poles. These wires were Of different sizes
the largest being one-sixth of an inch in
inch. They were stretched north and south
and inclined in sucfNa manner as to form an
angle of from 20 to 80 degrees with the horizon
This queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was constructed for
the express purpose Of foretelling changes in
the weather which were calculated by Pro-
fessor veritan according to the different tones

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-02-18

This Is the stamp that the letter bore
which carried the story far and wide,
OF certain cure for the loathsome sore
That bubbled up from the tainted tide
OF the blood below. And twas Ayers name
And his sarsaparilla. that all now, know,
That was just beginning its fight of fame
with its cures of so years ago.
