Great Boom in
Our Shipbuilding

New York, Nov. 16.-The seventh an
nual convention of the Society OF Ma
val Architects and Mining Engineers
began here today. In the absence of
President G. A. Griscom, Rear Admiral
F. N. Bunce, U. s. N, retired, called
the convention to order. A large num-
Der Of engineers were present. In the
preliminary business transacted, Rear
Admiral Sampson was elected first
vice president, made vacant by the
death of William II. Webb, and w. /.
miral Sampson in the council
The annual address of President
Griscom was read by a member. In
part Mr.. Griscom said The society
will undoubtedly join me in congratu-
lation to one of its members upon the
masterful skill shown in the desingn of
a certain yacht, whose record in the in
ternational races induced me to charac-
terize this as the Columbia pear for
naval architects. Yet, the immediate
prospect of another challenge makes 1t
necessary to caution you that all your
energies are still required to meet GER
tain conditions still adverse to the
ship-building interests of our country.
What may be the political, moral or
constitutional aspects Of policy Of ex-
pansion, IL is not without advantages to
shipbuilders. The large number of YES
sells purchased by the Government last
year for the use Of the army and the
navy, together with the increasing use
Of steam vessels in the coasting trade
have produced the greatest activity ev-
er seen in our coast yards, both on the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
"The proportions of our export and
import trade now carried in American
bottoms Is too small to be mentioned
and last year was smaller than ever be-
fore. To make this percentage a re-
spectacle one would require ten times
the number of American shipyards
working at full time for a number OF
years. While we have the materials
the tools and the mechanics, the sue.
cessfu building of a modern vesse
from a commercial point is in reality 6
triumph Of organization Of the multi
tude of diversified trades which 1t in
cludes. This stage is yet to be reached
and can only be attained by systemati,
production. Production depends upor
a market and upon traders who see {
profit to be made in shipowning undeI

Vermonters are all loyal to their native
state, and no matter where they may
live. they do not forget their former
homes amongthe Green mountains. They
take the same pride as ever in Vermont
and Vermonters, and the latest indica-
ton of this is in the proposition to es-
tabish memorial to Admiral Dewey. to
be erected at the entrance to the state
house at Montpelier. The movement in
honor of the hero of Manila is brought
about entirely by those who have left
Vermont to live in other states. and the
committee in charge consists of we'll
known citizens of different states. 1t is
made up as follows: Hon. Everett G..

Der of the executive council; James T..
Phelps of the National Life Insurance
company; Hon. Levi p. Morton, eX-
/ Wee President of the United States; Hon.

buttons already received indicates that
the monument will certainly be secured
and at an early date. The notice is as
follows:

Many people seem to suppose that
the frost is responsible for the bright
foliage of fall, though moments con-
:ideration ought to show them that the
leaves begin to turn before the frost
comes. An eminent botanist, in speak
ing to a reporter of the Washington
Star, said:
"Probably not one person in thou
sand knows just why the leaves change
heir color in the fail. The green mat
Ter in the tissJes Of the leaf is COM
posed Of two colors. led and blue.
When the sap ceases to flow in the au-
.umn the natural growth of the tree
IS retarded and oxidation of the It's
sue takes place. Under certain cOndi-
ions the green of the leaf changes to
red; under different aspects it takes
IN a yellow or brown hue. The diff
ference in color is due to the difference
in combinations of the original con-
stituents of the green tissues, and to
The varying condition of climate, ex-
posture and soil. A dry, hot climate
produces more brilliant foliage than
one that is damp and cool. This is the
reason that American autumns are so
much more gorgeous than those Of
England and Scotland"

BIG BLOCKS OF GRANITE.


Some Interesting Facts About One of YER
mont's Chief Products.
\ block of granite 1i5 feet long. 80
feet wide and % feet deep was recently
quarriei at Redstone, n. II. This was
claimed by the newspapers to be the
largest block of granite ever quarried in
the worl /. This led "A correspondent of
the Montpelier Record TO tell of another
block quarried in Woodbury.. VT, and
also to speak of some geological curiosi-
ties. The article reads:
About ten years ago slab of granite
was raised from its bed in Woodbury..
VT, measuring PA feet long, IS feet high
and 20 feet thick This slab exceeds the
dimension of the Rrd7tone granite by
ll.3i0 cubic feet Perhaps few people
realize what such a block of granite
would come to, if of the quality call, d

find the block of Woodbury. granite would

value of the land of the entire town.
The article further smoke of great
curiosity called the "Washington bOul-
der" situated in the middle of the Saco
valley, in alluvial soil. The dimensions
given were l25 by 50 by 100 feet. Allu.
vial soil is supposed to be formed by
streams Overlooking their banks and de
posting their sediment. Now as the
"Washington boulder" is on top of the
soil. what countless ages must have
elapsed before tine glacial period, when
that alluvial soil was forming, which is
now under the boulder, and before that
boulder came down through the 10000
feet Of ice which covered the eastern half
of the American continent.
In this locality there are several curl
osities, in the shape of rocking stones,
oval shaped six to ten feet long. One is
on the top Of one of the high mountains,
right on the very peak. This stone may
be rocked with the hand, and there is
none ike it nearer than Greenland.
There is another nearly at the top of a
mountain, nicely balanced on a ledge,
entirely different from all surrounding
stone. How did they get there? Geolo-
gists tell us. Are they right?

what is all that newspaper stuff
hanging over your desk?" a loiterer
asked a man who writes for living.
"That?" the man answered, pointing
to long strips of newspaper clippings
which were pendant from a gas chan
delier, directly over the desk at which
he sat, that is my scrap book. You've
heard of the hanging gardens of Baby
Ion, haven't you? Well, this is my
hanging scrap book. People generally
go on the plan that a scrap book must
be neatly pasted full of clippings, and
then piled away on a top shelf of a
closet, or in the bottom of a trunk
where you can never get at it without
much time and trouble. Now, my idea
of a scrap book is one that you can
have where you want it and when you
want it; so | have pasted these long
strips of blue paper together, over the
cross bar of my old fashioned gas chan
delier. On these strips-as | clip short
newspaper bits relative to my work
bits of prose or poetry, jest or philoso-
ply. statistics or other information, |
stick a little dab of library paste. and
up the clipping goes. 1t is convenient,
and easily renewable; there is no
patent on it, and the hanging scrap
book will be found valuable to all
writer's who like the things where they
can clap their eyes on them"

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked,
distressed-looking people you so often|
meet are afflicted with "kidney Conf
pleXIon."
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip|
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, orr
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neura gia, brain trouble, nervous cxhaus7
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly
The cause is week unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble Isl
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like milk sickness
that they do not think they need a medi-
cine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.

AUSTRALIAN LUNG-FlSH.
1t Cannot Live on Land, But Breathes
Through Lungs.

There has recently arrived at the
Geological Gardens in London some
living specimens of the Australian
lung fish, species first discovered in
1869 by Forster and described by
Krefft.
The lung-fish has teeth similar to
certain fossil teeth of the triassic strata
in Europe.
The body is long and much fattened
from side to side, and covered with
large cycloid scales; the limbs are
shaped like the blade of paddle or a
trowel, and broadly frnged. The flesh
red, like that of a salmon-is excel
lent eating, and large specimens are
said to attain a length of six feet and
weight of about twenty pounds, the
apparent disparity between size and
weight being probably accounted for by
the tapering off of the body behind the
posteror limbs. Their home is in the
Burnett and Mary Rivers; and as they
were in danger of becoming extinct the
Royal Society of Queensland recently
resolved to establish them in new hab-
itats.
The lung-fsh in its natural state
eats large quantities of vegetable mat
ter, but this does not appear to be nee
essary to it.
The lung-fish cannot live on the land,
like a true animal, but its lungs are of
higher type than the gills of ordinary
fish, and its heart has three divisions
/ instead of two.
