THE Big STONE GAP POST
NOT ABANDONING ELECTRICITY
pedient, However, TO Extend
Its Use on Our Warships.

Assistant Secretary Allen, TO whom
the subject of the extension of the use
OF electricity aboard ship has been re-
ferred by Secretary Long, has decided
that pending the completion Of the
Kearsarge and Kentucky and the test
of the electrical devices on them, II
would not be wise to provide for fur
Their extensions In the use Of electricity
as a motive power for deck winches and
boat cranes. The decision, Mr. Allen
says, does not involve the abandonment
of the use Of electricity IN any senseI
on the contrary, the United States hav-
ing been foremost Of all naval powers
in the application OF that means OF
transmitting power, intends to main
tain its position. A study OF the plans
for three battleships, Alabama, ILL.,
nois and Wisconsin, made IL apparent,
however, that II electricity was to be
used for the cranes and winches, II
would involve the enlargement of the
dynamo plant aboard ship at the cost
of over 500 tons OF coal room, because
THAT much space must be taken from
the bunkers.
The decision affects only the deck
winches and boat cranes.

THE CAM Ell.

The camel is a big animal. 1t hasa soft
foot like a dog. The camel can so for
many days without water. They have two
humps on their back. The camel is often
called the ship of the desert. One cara
van has about one thousand camels when
It starts across the Sahara desert. The,
carry gold dust, ivory and ostrich feathers
TO Morocco for their cotton and manu-
featured articles. The camel can run as
fast as q lion. The best way to go across
the Sahara desert is to go when caravan
starts across to Morocco aud other places.
One time | went across the Sahara desert
and there came a storm and the camel
knelt down and got down and the camel
turned his back to the storm, ! laid down
and covered my face with handkerchief
and il vas dark. Soon as the storm was
over got up and shook the sand off OF me
and got on the camel and went on my
journey. PERRY BrRDiNE.

d6oU SIGNIFICANTLY

cry opportunity. and never fails to
secure the sort Of reception it deserv'
es. In the message which the elo-
ouent governor Of the Old Dominion
sent to the state Legislature at its
opening session in Richmond. there
were several pages worthy OF Demos
thenes-pages that Cicero might
have been proud to have penned.
Read these words OF the message:
"When we look back over the
years that have gone and think Of
the vast expenditure Of human brain
and Drawn, and human blood requir-
ed to erect here our homes, establish
here our system Of government and
to maintain our manhood and our
liberty, it is bound to stir lively
appreciation OF the blessings we now
enjoy, and deathless gratitude to-
ward those whose free and undaunt-
ed spirits from whom we are proud
to have descended. Go back hum
bred years and think Of the Ameri-
can wilderness from whose shadows
the antlered herd were reused by the
blows of the woodman's axe, then
think of it as it is today, ribboned
with interminable highways of steel,
bewebbed with endles wires, marked
all over by broad wagon roads, dot
ted with comfortable homes, while
from sea to sea, everywhere, great
cities lie beneath their canopy Of
smoke throbbing with a nations life
and energy. In it all, Virginia has
borne royal part, and while main
tanning her government at home and
while leading in the great humaniz-
ing and educational work Of the un-
ion, she has also spared from ont her
loins her noble youth to go into ev-
cry part Of this union and there erect
homes after the model of those left
behind, and exemplify the manly
spirit and intelligent freedom which
they inherited from their fathers"
Where Is the governor in this
whole country who can speak of his
state or Of his people in more elo-
quent words than these? Surely, he
does not exist. In addition to his
Governor Tyler is emf
nently practical. and urges upon the
Legislature its duty to solve the i'm
portant problems that now confront
the state.
The message must prove a very
satisfactory one to the people of Vir-
ginia, and the eloquent words it con-
tains must add to the pleasure it will
give to all who read it.

HOW FLIES WALK.

Have you ever noticed fly when it is
walking up the window or up the ceiling.
If you will get fy's leg and look at it
through very strong microscope you will
Ond that on each leg there are thousand
hairs. And the hairs are hollow with
little bags of glue at top of each hair.
The fly has six legs and two wings. And
when the fy walks it presses down on the
little bags and The liquid runs TO the
mouth of the hair and it hardens and
whsn the Ay takes another step It lifts IT'S
legs up gently. PArrIk RICHMOND.

ton and assistance from the teacher, the
assumption being that as they ar older
they will not become so easily iatigd. In

OF course, fine tact is needed IN order that
the proper pupils may be selected as

to hav but one slow pupil assigned to each
pupil assistant, but several of the latter
exceling in different branches might be
interested in the same backward pupil.

HOUSE BILL.
The Ayers Bill Calling for a
Constitutional Convention.

The bill to submit to vote of the
people the question of calling con-
stitutioual convention, providing Tor
electing delegates to, and organizing
the same, introduced by Mr.. Ayers,
differs very materially from the bill
offered by Mr. Flood in the Senate.
The bill introduced by MIR. Ayers
provides for an election TO be held on
the fourth Thursday in May, nineteen
hundred, and in the event the vote IL
in favor of the convention, further
rrovides for an election Of delegates
to be held on the fourth Thursday in
August, nineteen hundred, and the
assembling Of the convention on the
fourth Thursday in November, nine
teen humid ed.
The bill further provides for dis
tricting the state for members prac-
ticallv upon the basis of the appor-
tionment and districts now existing
for the election Of members Of the
House of Delegates.
Under the bill the convention will
be composed Of one hundred members.
The bill also provides that the
delegates to the convention shall re-
ceive the same pay and mileage now
allowed mem bers of the General
Assembly. and that the convention
shall be the Judge of its own privi-
leges and elections.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Flood
in the Senate, provides for an election
to be held on the fourth Thursday
in May, nineteen hundred and one,
and leaves the next General Assembly
to provide for the election of delegates
to the convention. Under Mr..
Floods bill the convention would not
assemble before nineteen hundred and
two, but under the bill introduced by
Mr.. Ayers, the convention would as

The talk of certain papers and
politicians about running southern
soldier on the Republican ticket with
President Mckinley is absurd in the
extreme. The Republican party
would not submit to such a thing, and
besides that, neither Fitzhugh Lee
nor Gent Wheeler would accept a
place on the Republican ticket if it
was rendered them.
