FIREPROOF MACHINE SHOP.
states ut the Brooklyn Navy
Yard-To Cost 81, OOO. 900.

Navy department officials will profit
by the experience with fire at the
Brooklyn navy yard, and in the con
struction of the new million-dollar ma
chine shop at that place plans will call
for an absolutely fireproof structure.
This will be accomplished by having the
building made only of steel, glass and
concrete. The flooring will be treated
with the electric fireproofng process
which has been used with so much sue
cess on board ships of war.
Lieut.. j. X. Robson, who is an ex-
perienced engineer in the navy, has
charge of the plans in conjunction with
Civil Engineer Edicott, and both Off
GERS are arranging for a plant which
will be the best of its type ever owned
by the government. 1t will embrace
the latest tools in the market and fur
nish an equipment capable of doing
not only the ordinary repair work of
such shops but the heaviest jobs on
marine engines. The larger tools will
have separate dynamos and electricity
will be used more extensively than ever
before in naval establishments. There
will be also a complete testing depart
ment fitted with the latest apparatus.
The feature of the shop, however, will
be the application of fireproofng meth

SKELETON IN AN IRON CAGE.
WOrkmen Unearth Peculiar Relic
on n Farm I'm the state of
Virginia.

An iron cage containing a human
skeleton was dug up the other day on
the farm of Mr.. Henry Warden in Spott-
sylvania county, on the Rappahannock
river, a short distance below Fred
ericksburg, Va. The cage is much rust
ed, but is in the form of the human
body, having a headpiece in the top of
which is a stout ring, body piece, and
arm and leg pieces. They contained a
well-preserved skull, jawbones, several
teeth, bones of the legs, arms and hips.
The strange corpse was unearthed by
workmen digging a foundation. 1t is
supposed to have been the body of an
unruly criminal, or perhaps a pirate.
There is a fairly well authenticated
story that in the days of the early
settlers the pirates which infested the
James and Rappahannock rivers were
caught and hanged and their bodies left
exposed in chains to public view until
they decayed, as an object lesson to
wrongdoers. Three were hanged in
Richmond. No one knows or can ac-
count for the presence of these IRON
incased bones except by conjecture.

manager for Carnegie in the upper pc

deal for the Queen property, are MAX

perior. Color is lent to the story from
the fact that circulars were issued
three weeks ago telling the stockhold-
ers that a deal was on for the transfer
of controlling interests and offering to
effect a transfer of all interests on the
same basis. The purchase of Lake SUI
perior will make Carnegie the heaviest
operator on this range.

cided To hasten the test of the Mcleod
law, under which they are negotiating
for the purchase of the street railways
by the city, without waiting for action
of opposing attorneys, who, the gov

of the attorney general 10 bring quo

tions raised by the attorneys of the cit
liens committee of60, who are opposing
municipal ownership under the Mcleod

tain clause which is i'm the original,
viz, providing that nothing in the act

Mai. Eustace Jameson, member OF
parliament for West Clare, and Ire
lands foremost yachtsman, who will
be Sir Thomas Lipton's official repre-
sentative aboard the Shamrock during
the races for the Americas cup next
fall, was in New York on a business
trip a few days ago, during which he
attended TO many details concerning
the international contest.
"The last thing Sir Thomas said to
me just before leaving London" said
Maj. Jameson, was this: If the Amer.
leans win the cup ii will be because they
have the better boat. l know of no
finer nor more honorable sportsmen in
the world than the American yachts
men, And that is the spirit which will
pervade this whole event. The best
boat will win.
THE secrets of the Shamrock are be-
ing closely guarded. Very few men in
England know the least thing about
her. Not more than half q dozen of
Sir Thomas closest friends and conf
dants have any idea concerning her de-
sign and construction. The yard where
she is being built is guarded by 40 de-
tectives during the day and by 40 more
at night. Not the slightest detail is
divulged.

have in Hereshoff great yacht de-
signer and builder; SO great that we
are putting forth the best efforts Eu-
rope can produce to beat him. No ex-
pense is being spared in the construc-
ton of the Shamrock. The day she has

will give you warning, however, that
