BATTLESHIP BADLY DAMAGED.
Many Repair Must Be Made ON the
Massachusetts before She Can
Go Out Again..

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Herald Gays:
Naval officers believe that the battleship
Massachusetts must go out of commission
and practically a new keel and several
new frames must be Supplied TO her be-
fore she will be lit for sea. This apprc-
hension has been caused b. an incomplete
examination made by the naval con-
structors and divers, which showed that
the keel is buckled for 80 feet and frames
are twisted in about seventeen different
places in that distance. These injuries are
the result of the accident of last Sat
urday. when the big vessel struck a mass
Of rock near Diamond reef and drove
over it.
Naval officers were startled when they
learned the nature Of the accident to the
ship. They supposed that beyond the
buck!ing of a few plates In the outer skin
the ship vas %uninjured. They are now
astonished at the fact that the big ship did
not sink and was able TO go TO Tompkins-
vile and return to the navy yard.
The battleship when she struck at frame
number sixteen was lifted eight inches, and
the weight of the ship crushed and twisted
the ribs of steel. The injuries extended to
frame number seventy-eiGht, or 26 feet.
The vessel listed slightly to port and the
injury was more severe on that side of the
keel.
The cruiser Newark was fioated out of dry
dock this morning. but the Massachusetts
viii not go in until Monday. She will
rot rest on keel blocks, as vessels usually
do. Instead. blocks will be placed under
her bilse keels and she will be shored upon
the sides, so as to relieve the buckled keel
of all pressure She must be relieved of her
entire cargo, and naval officers believe her
heavy guns will have to he taken off also.
The shock OF the accident disarranged the
delicate machinery of the forward turret.

There has been more excitement and
greater discussion in New York recently

thirds of all deaths arise from throat and
lung troubles has intensified il. What TO
use has been the universal question with
those who cough or have friends who
are coughing. The best thing upon the sub
Ject that we have seen is from the We'll
known scientist, William 7. Cutter, state
chemist OF Connecticut. He says:

l Ihis is particularly true of the Oakley
mathematical proficiency. There are no
abstruse problems in dilfeIential caucuius
nor difficult ~logarithms. for its scholars are
nut little tots. But the way the boys and
girls OF from 8 TO 10 years of age run UP
a column of figures demonstrates The fact
that the young mind is progressing through
a studious method of teaching, as well as
the rest of the world.
Upon Mrs; Matte Wiltshire, who has
charge of the first and part of the sec
ond grade pupils. rests the task of making
a good beginning. The front board of the
iirst grade room is filled with long columns
Of figures into the mysteries of adding

ago. Little Frank Langan was recently
called upon to demonstrate before a visitor
the rapidity of the class IN adding zig
ures. and called off the sums as fact as
his tongue could move. Shortly after the
visitor had left the room she was called
back because some of the children felt hurt
ut nos being asked to show what they
could do. Several others We're permitted
to add the columns accurately and cor
rectiy and they demonstrated still more
clearly that rapid adding is the usual ac-
complishment and net the occasional at
the Oakley school.
II is not particularly the knowledge of
figures that is taught by this procedure.

TO quicken the thought. 1t is almost en-
tireiy mental in its character and all Of
the pupils enjoy the study.
