AN ANNOYING DELAY.
Designs for Three Bsttieships, Witch
should Have Besn Ready Long
Ago, SIN Unfinished.

There has been great delay In maxi
ing the designs for the three battleshlps
and three armored cruisers authorized
for the navy last March. Some time
during February Secretary LoSg in
structed the department experts TO pre-
pare a circular setting forth the gen.
eral characteristics OF these ships. This
action was the usual one in anticipation
OF the authority OF congress TO build
the vessels. Ordinarily it would have
been possible TO design the ships and
invite bids and award contracts by Oc-
tober /. Absolutely no progress has
been made, however, toward designing,
much less awarding contracts for the
six big ships. 1t will take at least
six months TO draw the plans for each
class of ship, but there is no sign yet
that the members of the board of con-
struction can agree as to the features
of the vessels. The battery, which is
the first thing 10 be settled, has not
been arranged, and even the plans made
some weeks ago by Rear Admiral O'Neil,
chief of ordnance, have been laid aside.
The board early in its sessions voted
down the proposition of Rear Admiral
Melville, engineer in chief for triple
screws for the battlesBips, but that Off
Ger is said to have renewed his recon-
mendation and urged its adoption. An
other cause of delay has been the at
tempt TO adopt double deck turrets for
the battleships. One member of the
board is described as making fight for
this principle of construction. The only
feature which the board has decided
upon is that all the ships shall be
sheathed and coppered. All other ques-
tions have been regularly discussed
without any indication they will be
sneedilv settled

TIPPED A KING,

From the New York Journal
King Leopold of Belgium gave his annual
garden party recently at the Castle of
La aken, the beautiful grounds of which are
famous all over the world. The recurrence
or the date recalls an amusing event which
took place a few days before the fete last
year, in which King Leopold enjoyed him.

makes him SO deservedly popular among
his subjects
The King of the Beigians was near the
gate of Laeken Castle on9 afternoon when
two well-dressed, handsome American la

er he had time to show them the grounds
The king willingly acquiesced and the fair
Americans, who took him for his own head

How Meissonier Painted From Natur.

Nasih Nerestschagin. the famous Russian
painter, contributes to the xix Century an
article on his distinguished French cotem-
porary from which We take the following
extract:
How did you Eaint the snowy road in
your picture of Napoleon in 1Sl42" |
asked him. He picked out from under the
table low platform, about a meter and a
half square, and said
''On this prepared all that was required;
snow, mud and ruts. / kneaded the clay
and pushed across it this piece Of cannon
several times, up and down. With a shod
hoof l then pressed the marks of the
horses feet; l strewed -four over it pushed
the cannon across again, and continued
to do so until | obtained the semblance of
a real road. Then L sailed it, and the road
was ready
What did you salt ii for?'
To get the briliancy of the snow. WHY
do you smile? How else could you do it?''

Improved Physique of Men and WO-


From the I."usion Truth.
The fine physique with which British girls
are now blessed is attributed to the health
Ter life they lead in consequence of the open
air exercise in which they indulge But so
far as l know, nothing has been said about
men. Perhaps the papers imagine they
were always as big they are now 1t is
interesting, therefore, TO look at the ia bles
of the weights of the crews in the uuiver-
Sity race. showing that they are much
heavier than in former years.
From the year ISL inclusive. until the
present day. there was no crew averaging
l. stone t16S pounds until oxford with eX-
aCtly that weight, won in 1867. the average
weight being roughly about 11le stone 161
pounds. Until the end of 1877 there were
only four crews averaging - stone or over
From that date until 1887 there were six
crews over that weight, but the weights
under l. stone had gone up considerably
from the earlier periods. From 1887 until
the present time there have only been five
crews under II stone, both crews in 1888 be-
ing under that weight, and the Cambridge
crew in 1894 being only half pound under
So that for the last ten years there have.
practically speaking, been only two crews
under l. stone. 1t is certainly significant
that the increase of weight in the univer-
sity crews should have been contemporan-
eous with the marked physical development
