FLOATING FIGHTERS.
Pians for Three Big BattIeships Are
Being Prepared.

WASHINGTON. March THE plans
for the three big battleships author
lied by the naval appropriation bill
lust passed are being worked out. The
general features of the ships have been
defined. subject to the approval Of the
secretary. The battleships will be
thousand tons larger than the Maine

far the largest ships in the American

to the best types of battleships now

was admitted. however. that one Of the
delegates, j. c. McLegan, had been
negotiating at one time with the pro-

upheld this contention. 1t is also
shown that the island had been used
by the city as a contagious disease

had been expended on it for park pur-

An Invention OF Note.

The only objection that has ever
been raised to the general Introduction
of the electric light has been that made
by Dan Cupid, the little fellow VINO

dark or in the almost imperceptlDle
glimmer of a low burning gas jet.
preferably the latter for obvious rea-
sons. There is no cleaning with the
electric light. 1t is either absolute
darkness or 16 candle power blaze, but
the gas burner presented altogether
different conditions. Many girl who
would object strenuously to sitting in
any light would be perfectly willing to
effect compromise on very small
light. This handicap which the cleo
trio bulb has always labored under has
at last been removed by the invention
of Western man, who has succeeded
in constructing a lamp which is ca
pable of as wide a range of ADJUST
ment as the gaslight, so the Journal is
informed by local electricians. This is
accomplished by the use of three fila
ments of different sizes, which are
built up around each other in the in
terror of the bulb. On the switch shaft
there is Il drum having three segmental
ribs. which, as the shaft is turned, are
brought into bearing with three con-
tact springs, one after the other. Thus
at the first turn the current is directed
all through the smaller filament only,
while on the second quarter turn the
second filament is thrown into use and
Iatterly the third and largest one is al
so made active. The fourth position of
the shaft shuts the current off en-
tireIy. Heretofore it has been possible
to bring about this regulation only
where "A large number of lights were
controlled from the same point, but
with the individual lamp there was no
halfway step. 1t was either on full
head or off entirely.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
ONE WEEK EARLIER.
Cony Hiqh School 10 Open. Today. Which Is
Earlies Than Usual.

The opening of the Cony High school,
TODAY, marks the beginning of the time
when the school is under the 3S week
system as adopted by the school com
mittec last spring. when they extended
the time of the close and announced
that it would commence one week ear
lier in the fail. Under the old regime
the school would not have commenced
until one week from today. There is
division of opinion among the parents
of the pupils regarding the frightening
opinion that the action is merely add
ing to the load of the student and they
believe il is too great already, while
others are pleased at the idea.
Prof. Cook said, Saturday evening,
that this was not as long as the school
year in some cities where 40 weeks is
what is given the scholars. The pro-
fessor said the school would open today
with no changes either in the faculty
or in the studies and the three upper
classes will go on with their work,
where they left off last spring. The IN
coming class it is expected, will con-
tain between 40 and 50 members, which
is about the size of the usual classes.
In athletics, this fall, it is doubtful
if Cony can do much as many of the
foot ball players have left school and
those who are left will not be strong
enough in numbers though good school
material will doubtless devclope. The
attention of the old players though.
will naturally be returned to the city
team that is being formed, that will it
is thought make so good one.
