A cat. Long Jump.

How far can a cat jump without
hurting itself was partly exemplified
in Brooklyn the other night. A pretty
white cat ran up tree to get away
from dog and at last crawled out on
a small branch at least so feet above
the ground. The branch was not much
more than twig, and the cat could
not turn around. She sat up there
on the swaying limb and meowed. Al
last the twig broke, and down came
the cat. She alighted on the ground
on her feet, looked around for mo-
ment and then bounded away; which
shows that 60 foot drop does not hurt
a Brooklyn cat, whatever 1t might do
to cats of other places Pittsburg Dis

Nature makes all things beautiful in

Will Call For Bids.

Washington, April 20 h naval
board of construction has finally approx
ed the plans for the three battleships au-
thorized by the asst congress and gave i'm
structions to hs We the specifications pre-
pared at once preliminary to calling for
bids from the sfipbuilders. The ships win
be enlarged Iowas in type with the same
rectangular superstructure and the w
turrets. bow n stern. on the main deck.
The turret guns will be 12-inch calibre
like the Iowa's IN there will be a tur-
ret at each corner of the superstructure
carrying two S-inch guns and II 6-inch
rapid firers will be disposed along the
center. The ships will make 10 knots
speed and have a displacement of about
Is, 500 tons, making these new ships by
far the largest in the United States navy
n as big as the latest type of British
cruisers. As the constructors
limited in the draft by our shallow
harbors to a little over IS feet n as Is
feet represents about the greatest beam
with speed,it will be necessary
to provide for the weights by giving the
ships more length than the Iowa class
and they will be almost 40 feet long. The
batteries will be made up
of 14-pounders. Altogether the
ships, will be more than equal to any war;
ships of their size in the worlds navies.
