TO IMPROVE GIBRALTAR.
Extensive Plans Of the British ADJ
miralty Being Executed
The Stronghold 1t the Entranes % tie
Mediterranean to BE Made . Ma
val Station - VIII Cost
MANY Mfllfous.

A New York Sun special from Wash.
ington says:
Attention has lately been directed by
the British admiralty to the necessity
of greatly enlarging the docking and
coaling facilities for its British Medi-
terranean feet, and a programme has
been completed which oontemplates
making Gibraltar one of the most i'm
portant of her outlying naval stations.
The continued increase Of battleships
and cruisers of formidable dimensions
makes it necessary, the admiralty finds,
to enlarge the docking capacities at a
number of stations, so that ships Of the
largest size can be readily locked with
out the delay incident to sending them
to ports remote from their stations.
Gibraltar is one Of the coaling stations
which is now receiving the attention Of
the admiralty owing to its deficiency in
dock and other accommodations for the
refitting of warships, and its lack Of
protection against attack from the sea.
Malta for years has been the chief Brit
ish naval station in southern Europe
and win continue to be the most i'm
portant in the eastern part of the Medi.
terranean, but it is now proposed to
make Gibraltar not only a formidable
fortress. but naval staten, thoroughly
protected, where ships can be safe in
an emergency and receive all necessary
repairs. The construction of these for.
midable works has already begun with
the employment of about 1000 work
men Of all classes, who are kept at work
under the special charge Of superin-
tendents sent out from England by the
admiralty authorities. who control
everything connected with this i'm
portant work. The estimated cost of
the project is several million pounds
and at least Eve years win be
before It is completed.

In the Seven street park, in Oakland
there is one of the strapgsst pumpkin
crops to be found in the state. certain.
~ the queerest that grows in any pub
lie square. if, indeed, that vegetable
can be found in any other public square.
There is really nothing strange about
the crop itself that is referred to, but
its location is most unusual, for il II on
the roof of the Toulouse. This tool
house is exactly in the center of the
square, and the crop of bright-colored
pie material looms up from all direc-
tons. But II doesn't look at oil in
viting. although number of people in
the neighborhood signifed their inten-
ton OF having one OF the pumpkins for
Christmas--thati is. provided. of course,
they are not seized by some one else in
the meantime.
There Is quite sto-y IN the way these
pumpkins came TO grow on the roof.
It was a very simple matter for them
10 do so when one considers the cause.
The same cause has also given the Old
gardener quite an opinion of his own
powers of invention.
It seems that the pumpkins grew as
O volunteer crop, due 20 the fact that
some OF the ground around the tool
house was brought there from a vacant
lot near by. The gardener cared for
the vine tenderly. but soon found IL an
elephant on his hands II spread all
over the fower-bed and soon had part
of the square 70 itself. because nothing
else could live In the ne;ghborhood.
Then it commenced TO spread over the
walks and also 20 show signs OF bear
ing. This was q hard time for the gar
dener lie thought of the fine plea che
pumpkins would make, and he also
thought that It would be necessary cor
people TO walk through the park. He
lost sleep at night and still the vine
grew. Little pumpkins formed and be
began 20 lose flesh. The vine spread
more and more and the small green
globuies looked more tr1pting each
day.
When almos. on the verge % despair
the gardener got an idea lie soon bad
the crop of young pumpkins safe on the
roof. where they could grow as rnuch
a. they liked. while the roots remained
IN the soil below.
And they have taken advantage o.
the opportunity. for the most Of them
are large enough 20 take prizes ~

harvest there is only one thlng tia:

some one had written:
