EACH TO BUILD A SHIP.
Decision Regarding Bids for Dig War
Vessels.


The NAVY Department has reached
conclusion as to the awards Of contracts
for the construction of the new battle ships.
When the bids were opened it was found
that for the fast ships desired the Newport
News company was the lowest, Cramp next
and the Union iron works just above, and
all within the limit of cost fixed by the
act of Congress. 1t was the original plan
to award the contracts in that order But
upon examination of the plans submitted
by the bidders it was found that the only
thoroughly satisfactory one was that sub
mitted by Cramp, VINO had simply taken
the alternate plans suggested by the Navy
Department, which amounted to lengthen-
ing the hull of the ships from 10 to ~ feet,
in order to gain room for the more power
full engines required to drive the ship at a
speed of 1874 knots instead of 16 knots,
first proposed. After considering the sub
ject In all aspects the board of naval bu-
reau chiefs has hit upon solution of the
question They have invited the Newport
News company and the Union Iron Works
Company to amend their plans SO as to
make their ships identical with that pro-
posed by Cramp. Mr.. Scott of the Cali
ready, and the representative of the New
port News company has verbally agreed to
do the same, 1t is the understanding
that each of the companies will pe given a
contract for one ship.

Now that you've Finished shaving me,
how many strokss Of the razor did it re-
quire?' asked the man in the chair, as he
Strengthened up ito have his hair combed
That's pretty tard'to ten'' said the bar
ber. ~ 81
"of course it IL. But you've been in the
business how ioBg?''s,
Fifteen years.1 j
you ought to know by this time about
how many strokes of the razor it requires
to shave a man, supposing that you go over
his face second time.
Il might make a guess at it,
'All right. What's your guess? Remem-
Der that ! have a hard beard"
We'll, 1 should say about 125.'
You're a good guesser, I don't think
Some time ago I got into the habit of
counting the strokes of a razor every time
I was being shaved. It's a good way to
employ your mind. In shaving me you lust
made 732 strokes with the razor"
Il wouldn't have believed it,
No man believes it until he takes the
trouble to count. In my case never knew
the number to fall below 800, and it has
gone more than 800 at times. l call it a
stroke every time the razor is brought for
ward and then drawn back. / should Judge
that there are no fewer than 800 strokes in
a frst-clasS shave. You remember that
and probably you can win few bets"
