THE HOLLAND
Board of Naval Construction
Opposes its Purchase.

Scripps- McRae League.
Washington, January 25.--Secre,ary
Long today received from the board
OF naval construction two reports on
the Holland submarine boat The Hol-
land company had offered TO sell the
Holland to the government for sl65,
600; to embody certain improvements
in her and sell her for Sl70 600; or,
finally. TO build two new and larger
boats for $4,000 each. Four OF the
members of the board united in a ma
Jority report favoring the rejection of
the propositions based on the fact that
the company is now a delinquent in
the case of the su bmarine boat Plum
ger, on account Of which the govern
ment has already paid 500, TIC. with no
likelihood of her completion in the
near future. II the company makes
satisfactory settlement for the Plunger
the board will be willing to build one
OF the larger boats, but not to pur.
chase the Holland.
The chief contractor submits a mi
nority report, declaring that the
majority did not give sufficient credit
and encouragement TO the enterpri.e e
OF the company. He declares that the
results obtained with the Holland
were satisfactory, and yet, in view OF
the small cost of submarine boats, the
govern ment should accept the Holland
and order two larger boats.

secretary OF the state board Of health;
Or J. 7. Kaster, chief surgeon Of the
Santa Fe road, and the oklahoma
board Of health held a conference last
night at Arkansas City and formulated
a plan by which the quarantine agait st
Kay county may be raised.
The Oklahoma authorities admitted
that Blackwell has had 500 cases Of
chicken pox or smallpox, according TO
the opinions OF physicians, and during
this epidemic only partial quarantine
has been maintained
The Kansas authorities have agreed
that a committee. composed Of the
health officers Of Cowley and Sumner
counties ard the city physician Of Ar
kansas City, shall visit Blackwell with
the oklahoma officers Friday. If the
county officers will agree to place a
deputy sheriff in each township and
maintain a rigid quarantine, the Kan
sas quarantine will be abolished ex-
cept as to Blackwell. II not, the quar-
antiue will be extended. The health
officers of the counties south of Kay
county have announced that unless
Kay county takes such action they
will " bottle" the county by partici-
pating in the quarantine.

Every shipment Of gold out Of the
United States adds a link to the al
ready strong chain OF evidence that
the gold standard is weak thread on
which to hang the material and per-
sonal welfare Of the nation; and too
narrow an edge upon which to bal
ance humanity.
That England is drawing upon us to
provide for her expenditures ia South
Africa, at the rate OF nearly million
dollars daily, ought to open the eyes
OF American citizens to what may be-
come a situation Of positive danger,
The administration organs boast that
we are heavily supplied with the vel.
low metal, but with tho heavy drain
going on our supply cannot last much
longer, and then what? The United
States is occupying the anomalous po-
sition Of the worlds storehouse of
gold and every nation is drawing up
on un for supplies; indeed, there is no.
where else for them to go.
Why should a war with which we
have nothing whatever to do. throw
our money markets. as well as these
OF the whole world into confusion? In
every great money center-London
Berlin, New York-there is a money
stringency and the greatest apprehen-
sion OF a gold famine, Moreover, this
condition Of the money market is
necessarily seriously affecting every
branch Of busine,s.
Edmond Thery, in the Paris Matin,
declares upon the most infallible fig
ures that the Embarrassment In the
English money market is just Begin
ming, and that gold is bound to ad
vance In price all over Europe. A
truly singular thing TO say Of fixed
money standard. Between 1890 and
1899, he says, France, Austria, Spain,
Italy and Russia have been boarding
gold, until at the present time nearly
one thousand millions in geld are
practically prisoners OF state, held
without any possibility Of relieving
the English market.
In spite OF an alleged output Of the
worlds gold, amounting 10 $500, ,0OO,-
600 in 1899, the European money stock
has been diminishing for three years
past Nine OF the principal countries
OF Europe have decreased their money
stocks from eight billions OF francs In
1897 TO seven billions in 1899, and the
contraction is still going on.
NJ Thery does not include the Unit
ed States in his investigation but all
things considered, this country stands
in worss condition than those he
mentions. for the reason that We must
part with our gold at the demand Of
England, and she now demands it In
such quantities that unless peace be
declared by the end of February, 1900,
a crisis OF gold win be upon as, and
not even the present currencs bill can
save the nation aud the world from a
panic, heightened by the persistence
ia usIng the standard metal gold, as
the main merchandising elemeat IN
our financial affairs

standard shEll break upon the intellI-
gence Of the Americon people II will

rscy against humanity that was ever

a room next to the one he uses for bust

the hook was out of the staple the
door fell open by its own weight.
One day | saw a goose with large
troop of gosiings coming off the turf
to this door, which was secured by the
hook in the staple, The goose waited
for minute or two, as if for the door
to be opened, and then turned round
as II to go away, but what she did was
to make a rush at the door, and, maxi
ing n dart with her beak at the point
of the hook, nearly threw it out Of the
staple. She repeated this vancouver
and succeeded at the third attempt, the
door fell open and the goose led her
troop in with an air of triumph.
How had the goose learned that the
force Of the rush was ncedful to give
the hook a sufficient toss?
A number of pigeons were feeding
on few oats that had been accidental

pigeon rose, and, tapping its wings

head and in doing so of course to shake
out more oats.

HulIct unrriers of snow,

Some experiments were made recent
~ in France on the peuetrative power
of bullets through snow. The results
were very astonishing. The Lebel rifle
was used, and at distance of 100 feet
The bullet penetrated only five feet into
the snow target. \ bullet from a Lebel
life had been known, it is said, to go
through a tcee of 81 feet in diameter
presumably through the full length
of the diameter; that it should only
penetrate IS inches farther into such
soft stuff as snow seems altogether
startling. The explanation suggested
by the eXperimentalists Is that the ro-
tating bullet picks UP particles Of snow
as il goes in and 80 gets "balled," or
blocked up.

You hear his notes diffusing.
Here, yon and everywhere.
He whistles in the morning
Before he's out Of bed;
He whistles all the day long,
And in his sleep, It's said
OF tunes Bob knows not many
In fact, he knows not one;
But just to whistle, whistle,
To hims sufficient fun.
And tunes are but restrictions
Are paths ones muse TO lead,
And Bobby is a rover
In Whistledom, indeed.
while Bobby learns to whistle

She nc'er saw such child.
And grandmamma gets nervous
And says: "Oh, me! Oh, my!
That child will drive me crazy;
feel that could fly"
why. even at the table,
He'll pause and try his skill,
And through his puckered lips he
Emits notes sharp and shrill.
His father cries out "Robert!'
And Bobby then Will cease,
And for the next ten minutes
Perhaps hen hold his peace.
When Bobby learns 10 whistle
There's one thing thats made GEAR
That ls, whate'er his hearts In,
In that he'll persevere.

Almost by all the noise,
