Will Cost Twice as Much.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IA preli-
minary estimate as to the cost OF an armof
plate plant will be submitted to Secretary
Long the latter part OF this week by the
armOr factory board. This estimate WILL
from present indications, state that more
than $3OO0,000 will be necessary to
defray the cost OF buildings and the
purchase and fitting OF tools. The
board will estimate that ut least 30
acres OF ground will be necessary, SO that
the total cost OF the plant will be about a.
900, 900. Such plant as the board will suggest
will be capable Of turning out 5000 tons OF
armor each year. or sufficient for two battle
Ships No statement will be submitted as to
the cost cooperating the plant. but a member
OF the board says the government would be
fortunate II it did not pay 800 or $500 on an
average for each ton OF armor Carnegie
and others are willing to make the plate at
about one-half that figure.

London 400" Has u Tortle That Was
Born Three Hundred Years Ago.
In the days when Elizabeth was at
the height Of her power there was
born turtle in the island of Aldabra,
which is situated between Madagascar
and Mozambique. That tortoise is
still alive and in good health. Shakes
peare, Cecil, Raleigh, and Essex have
voted with the silent majority, but
the turtle is still only possibility OF
steaks and soup. He is the oldest
living animal on the face of the earth.
For century and half he has been
in the possession OF afami'y in Maurl-
thus, whose ance 'tors brought him
from his native Aldabra. Experts say
that he is at least three hundred years
old. Besides being the oldest animal
alive, he is the largest turtle in the
world, and measures five feet six
inches over his shell. When he stands
up he is three feet high, and the
breadth of his shell is two feet six
inches.
The other day Walter Rothschild.
who has fad for la nral history,
broughtthe huge and ancient animal
to England and presented it to the
London geological Gardens, where it
has thrived on it's favorite diet of raw
carrots. 1t is wicked looking beast,
but is quite harmless. Its scientific
name is Testudo Daudinil, and it be-
longs to race of turtles which are
rapidly becoming extinct. These tur-
ties make the mt st delicious eating,
and in that consists their downfall.
After turtle of this 81 ecies has be-
come big enough to forbil its being
seized by bird OF prey, it h"' moth
ing to fear except the crews of vessels;
but in those warm waters OF the
Indian ocean the ships are so frequent
and the love of turtle stack" -" veil
developed that there Is large and
growing demand for the "Dig fish.
1t is fortunate for the patriarch OF
the world that he was brought over
from Aldabra and domesticated i'll a
Mauritius family before the craving
for turtle-soup and steaks had spread
among the sailor men of the Indian
seas. Otherwise ''his finish is too
apparent. This old turtle has taken
most kindly to his new quarters in
the London "Zoo," and is Oh the best
of terms with his keeper. In his
present state of health he bids fair to
live to be another three hundred years
old, and will probably still be ENJOYING
