WASHINGTON, March ls.-Thc house
committee on naval affairs has dis
posed of the question of increases in
the vessels of the navy. unless there is
some change of disposition among the
members. The committee, by unani-
nous vote. adopted the motion of Rep
resentatiye Eoss. Of Illinois. to au-
thorize the construction of six
new torpedo boats and six new torpedo
boat dcstroyers. and the provision for
this has been Incorporated in the naval
bill. II has not been decided what APP
preparation will be made for this pur-
pose. II is said to be likely that tho
torpedo boats will cost in the neighbor-
hood OF slOO.OOO each. though il is pos
siole the sum given may exceed that.
"A member OF the committee stated
that the torpedo boat destroyers may
cost between 500. 900 and S95O,uOO each.
There has been no conclusion a. to the
amount to be given for the construc-
ton of the five new dry docks, about
which. however. it is significant as

LAST OF THE
WAR CARPENTERS.

One by one the men who served in
Uncle Sans navy during the civil war
are being put on the retired list, until
now the veterans of the two wars can
be counted almost on the fingers of one
hand. Among the last of the old timers
who have reached the age limit and been
placed on the retired list is Herbert NJ.
Griffiths He is the first and last of the
carpenters appointed during the war.
Mr.. Griffiths was appointed Sept. %
1861. His first duty was in fitting out
the naval portion of the Burnside expe-
dition in Hampton Roads. and while on
that duty he was sent TO Baltimore to
inspect steamers available for purchase
by the government. He was attached
to the flagship Philadelphia as fleet car
penter and proceeded with the eXpedi-
ton to Roanoke island and Newbern,
y. c. He saw considerable fighting dur
ing the next year. In 1862 he was sen.

old frigate Congress, which was taken
from her when she returned after dis
astrous cruise late in 1893. The chairs
are in good condition and are very diff

civil war have been put to use in the

There are a number of relics in the

are in the form of cannon and the diff

There are also number of the smaller
arms used by the sailors and marines
during the civil war.
A short distance from the ordnance
dock, facing the athletic field, is a row
of willow trees. They have been there
for many years, and, while the hest
care has been given them, some have
died. They were brought from the
grave of Napoleon at st. Helena early
in the fifties on one of our ships which
was returning home from Japan. They
were first placed in the navy yard prop

trees were destroyed.

change the ship for the guns, but her
offer was refused, as it would be impos-
sible to bring the ship to this country,
and then Uncle Sam is not in the bust
ness of exchanging his war trophies.
At the northern, apex of the park is a
queer looking cannon mounted higher
than the rest. 1t commands a full sweep
of the walk leading to the York street
gate and is one of the most prominent
objects in the little park. 1t is one of
the carronades that We're mounted on
the old frigate Constitution when that
vessel met and defeated the English
ship Guerrero off the coast of New
foundland. 1t was this carronade that
carried such destruction to the English
vessel and wounded and killed so many
of her men. Just back Of this little gun
is a tall shaft erected to the memory of
the sailors and marines who fell during
the assault and capture of the Barrier
forts on the Canton river, China, Nov.

Nature made master stroke when
she produced the moonfish. for while
in shape they are not beautiful their
skins are exquisite. The moonfish is a
specimen of the many beautiful fish
that are to be found in southern wa
ters and. while its home is in the Ber-
mudas. it is also found along the coast
of Florida and in the gulf of Mexico.
There are a number of them in the
New York aquarium, and their tank is
one of the few that are continually sur
rounded by visitors.
The fish are peculiarly formed, but
what they lack in shape they make up
in color. They are very thin and have
long, sorrowful faces. They have the
appearance of being made out of silver
and highly polished. Their fins are
very delicate. The dorsal fin is large
and curved and looks like half cres-
