PROF. ELWOOD MEAD
LOSES HIS RIGHT ARM

Washington, ID. c., June 13.-Elwood
Mead of Cheyenne, Wyoming. the chief
of irrigation investigations Of the De,
partment Of Agriculture, met with q
frightful accident at Z o'clock last
evening, which necessitated the ampu,
tation of his right arm Just above the
elbow.
As Mr.. Mead left Columbia avenue
car he saw car he wanted just round
Ing the curve starting out Fourteenth
street In the direction of his home.
Rather than wait for the next car he
ran for this one, then running at fairly
high speed, grabbed for the rail, but
missed his footing and fell to the pave,
ment. Evidently in an endeavor to
protect himself, he put out his right
arm. Mr.. Mead had attempted to
board the rear end of the first train
of two cars. In his fall he got In
front Of the second cur and the wheels
passed over his lower arm, crushing
1t to pulp. The hand was not in.
jured. but the upper arm and shoul>
der were badly bruised, although no
bones were broken.
In passing over the arm the wheel
cut the main artery OF the arm and
resulted In a considerable flow of
blood, which was promptly stopped by
means of turniquet applied by ply
sician living near the scene Of the &C.
cident. 1t was seen at once, however,
that the injury was serious and a
prompt summons was sent for an am
bulance and Mr.. Mead was hurried to
the emergency hospital.
Within ten minutes after the acci-
dent he was on the operating table and
by 8 o'clock was resting quietly in his
ward Mt the hospital. Up to the time
Of the operation Mr.. Mead retained
consciousness and assisted the physi-
clans in many ways, though expe-
riencing intense agony.
Had 1t not been for the prompt ac-
tion in stopping the flow Of blood from
the severed artery, Mr.. Mead would
have bled to death in few minutes.

Our New BattIeships.

From the Boston Journal.
 No more patient thought was ever given to any problem of national de- fence than has been devoted during the past months by the Naval Construction Board to the designs of the new battle ships which Congress will authorize this winter.
 At last the distinguished officers who make up this board have come to defi- mite conclusion. They have wrought out general plans for the most formidable ships of war ever designed for any ser vice. They have discarded the ambitious double or superposed turrets of the Kear- sage and Kentucky, and have adopted the conventional type. They have fixed the speed of the new vessels at nineteen knots, which is four knots more than the contract rate of the Oregon and Mas sachusetts. It is likely to be twenty knots in actual practice, and this will give our new armorclads first rank in swiftness
 They will have a large horsepower of 16,500, or greater than that of any British battleship. They will have a full 16,00C tons displacement. This will make them the largest as we'll as the fastest heavy armorclads aioat. Their cost will be

about $5O00,000 each-not very much more than the price of the earlier. smaller and slower battleships.
 It is said that Admiral Dewey is dis posed to regard the size and speed of the new ships as excessive. f1e would have more emphasis laid on the power of their batteries But it does not appear that in this particular the new ships will be at ali deficient. They will carry twelve-inch rihes-and no larger weapons are now being mounted in any navy of the world Their broadside batteries will be six-inch or seven-inch rifieV-and no nation is em- ploying heavier broadside ordnance. As for the great size of the ships, this means increased capacity for stores, ammuni- tion and fuel, and, increased ability to keep the seas for long periods without recoaling. This has become most impor- tant characteristic of American line-of- battleships, now that our flag floats over colonial dependencies on the other side of the world.
