OUR PACIFIC SQUADRON.
List of Vessels Available 70 Asxis
Admiral Dewey

In view of the possibility that Spain
may decide to send some of her warships
into the Pacific, and perhaps even make
an attempt TO retake the Philippines. a
description of the United States vessels
now along our Pacific coast may prove
timely.
The vessels on the Pacific station are
under the command of Rear Admiral J.
n. Miller. who has been stationed at
Honolulu. but is now under orders for the
Pacific coast The withdrawal of the
Oregon. Marietta. and Baltimore dimin-
ished the fighting value OF his squadron,
which now consists of these ships:
Monadnock, second class double turret
monitor.
Monterey. second-class barbette turret,
low freeboard monitor
Bennington, third-class gunboat.
Alert. third-class iron cruiser.
Albatrcss fish commission steamer, con-
verted into gunboat.
Grant, revenue steamer converted into
eunboat.
Corwin, revenue steamer converted into

rated as a second-class. is under orders
for the Philippines as convoy to the
transports. The Mohican and Adams are
scholarships. the former being stationed
at Honolulu, the latter at Mare Island.
In addition TO these. the Philadelphia. pro-
tected cruiser, second rate. and Yorktown,
gunboat. third rate. and the Pensacola
and Hartford. wooden cruisers of little
war value are undergoing repairs.
The first-class battleship Wisconsin and
the torpedo destroyer Farragut are under
construction at the Union Iron Works.
San Francisco. and the torpedo boats Ro-
wan and Davis are under construction on
the coast, the former at Seattle and the
latter at Portland. The single turret
monitor Commanche and the Marion, a
wooden cruiser, which were assigned to
the naval militia, are in fair condition
for the defense of the ports.
The main defense rests upon the Mo-
nadnock and Monterey, both of which are
in excellent order and so efficient that
they can easily rate among the best coast
defense fighting ships of the Navy.

Child Language.

(From the Century Magaxine.)
The secret language period is a thing of
child nature. There are three distinct Pc
riods in language learning by the child.
The first is the acquiring OF the mother
tongue. The second period comes shortly
after the time of beginning to learn the
mother tongue, and is a language made
up by children who, perhaps. find them
selves unable to master the mother
tongue. Very few children have a COM
plete language of this kind. but all chill
dren have few words of such Then
comes the secret language period. AL
though in a very few cases the learning
of secret languages began about the
sixth year, and in some instances the pc
riod ran until after the eighteenth year
yet the vast majority of cases are cover
ed by the period between the eighth and
the fifteenth year. while the greatest use
is between the tenth and the thirteenth
year.
There are many reasons why children
learn and use these languages. One lady
confesses That she originated a language.
and introduced 1t into a mysterious set of
ten in order to write notes in school. and
she truly adds that had their teachers
discovered the key, they would have learn
ed many truths.
1t can never be known whether these
languages originated in the very first
cases with children. The names would in
many instances imply that children had
to do with them, as they show things IA
miliar to the child and loved by him. So
in the secret languages we find animals
playing an important part in the naming.
The hog, dog. goose. pigeon, pig. fly, cat,
and other animals are attached to these
languages. The child In the old fashioned
school, where all sat together. hearing the
Ito him) senseless and unknown Latin.
would naturally attach the name to this
language. and thus give birth to hog lat
in goose latin. etc. Seeing or hearing a
language, one letter may strike the child's
fancy as in one the letter h is "hash,'
and SO hash language is the result. In an
other ''bub' (b) finds the funny spot in
child nature, and SO bub talk comes forth.
The child in former days, so frequently
hearing of the a-b-cs. would, upon the
construction of an alphabet language, at
once recur to such. and SO name this the
a-bub-cin-dud language.

AN EGG BATTLE.
rne sophomores and Freshmen of
Columbia Tight.

New York. May l2--Columbia sopho-
mores and freshmen mixed yesterday in a
row that was a beauty from the stand
point of college man. Nearly every dis
putant carried away black eye or some
other mark of a disabled visage. and the
contest was declared draw only because
the fighters became too much exhausted
to fight longer.
The upper classmen arranged to have
their photographs taken yesterday. and 1t
became known to the freshmen, who ap-
peared at the college in the morning load
ed down with eggs of uncertain age, and
also bicycle pumps filled with water.
The muggy weather made the "sophs"
postpone the photograph bee" but the
freshmen determined upon an attack any
how.
The battle was fought about the gate of
Morningside Park, at One Hundred and
Sixteenth Street and Morningside Drive,
and waged for an hour. At first the fresh
men were outnumbered, but they got re-
endorsements and fought stubbornly.
They were cheered on by scores of seniors
and juniors, who enjoyed the scrap nearly
as well as they would had their dignity
allowed them to take active part.
After the draw was declared. the fight
ers adjourned to the new Columbia Tav-
ern to count injuries and make up over
tankards of ale.

her mother on Sunday. May j. when she
left the house to go to Sunday school.
Mrs Heinrichs tramped more than four
miles on foot across Shelter Island. There
she was told thai the girl had been seen
IN company with Walter Payne. an eight
een-year -old youth, who had consented to
row her across the ferry to Greenport
early Tuesday morning, May 3.
The lad did not return to his home on
Shelter Island. and nothing has since
been heard from either OF the couple.

away twice before. The broken-hearted
woman spent nearly the whole day in
