LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
1t Takes an Enormous Amount of Tall
low and Soap.

low and Soap.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The launching Of little torpedo boat Is
comparatively easy, and the cost ls not
over a few hundred dollars. including flow
ers and souvenirs and even the bottle OF
champagne used in the christening. But
when 1T comes to a big armored cruiser or
a frst-class battle ship the actual expense
seldom falls below $4,000 or 5000. The
building of the ways for the ship to slide
down over Is the main item, and then
comes the greasing. Every inch of timber
over which the vessel slides must be COW
cred with lubricant. Different firms use
different substances, but soap and tallow
form the main ingredients Of them all.
Cramps use layer Of beef tallow and a
layer of soft soap, and, taken altogether,
between one and one and a half tons of the
stuff was required to put a move on the
average battle ship. The tal1ow Is spread
on first, to the depth Of about three fingers,
and the workmen use big fiat trowes to
make the surface as smooth possible.
Then they pour over the soft soap. which is
just thick enough to rum or about the con-
sistency Of tar. AS a general thing, this
double coating answers the purpose ad-
mirably. and the ship glides into the water
as If it was sailing in air. If 1t sticks as
has happened In a few cases, 1t Is likely to
spring some Of its plates. and accidents Of
that kind are so costly that nothing Is
are very superstitious about launchings.
and II anything goes wrong the ship is re-
garded as unlucky something greatly
dreaded by all officers. Several years ago
Chicago packing house got up q special
preparation for greasing ships ways and
sent a quantity Of 1t to firm in Maine to
demonstrate its merits. 1t was made from
the refuse Of the rendering house, and had
an odor that seemed strong enough to lift
a man-of-war clear off Ats bearings. The
firm tried It on a small merchant ship
which 1t had ready to launch, but instead
OF showing the qualities of a lubricant 1t
acted more like glue. The vessel stuck. fast
on the ways and had to be pulled of with
jacks. That was the last ever heard of the
preparation, and the Chicago folks dropped
the scheme. What is lert of the SOAP and
tallow after q launching is carefully
scrapsd of and sold. 1t Is used in making
axle grease.

Thinks Trustworthy news.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler. president of the

ceived Information from secret sources in
the Philippines to the effect that Aguinaldo
is dead, and that his death occurred no less
than six weeks ago. The news has been
kept secret by Aguinaldos followers, 1t Is
said, for the purpose OF prolnny:ng the re-
bellion, since it was believed that the news
of the chiefs death would cause such dis

is probably true. The father Of two of these
boys is Buencamino. wealthy citizen Of
Manila, who before the Americans came
was most active in the rebellion against
Spain. I understand he was a close friend
of Aguinaldo, and has kept in touch with
that remarkable parsonage even after Buen-
canine himself took neutral stand. Buen-
canine. however. did not take firm stand
on the side Of America until after the cleo
ton Of Mckinley, when, along with many
other Filipinos, he believed That further cp-

Young Llncoln's Library.

Av"A6 HiAOVAHS bAUtssys
When Abraham Lincoln was
a small boy, says st. Nich0l-
as, he had very few books.
There was no need for him to
consult the lint Of a hundred
best books. Hrs earliest pos
sessions consisted ofless than
hall Il dozen volumes-a pio-
neer's library.
First, of course, was the Bi
BILE, a whole library in itself,
If properly understood, and
containing every sort OF liter
ature-stOries, poems, dra-
mas, addresses, orations, his
tories, some simple enough
for the youngest child, 9th
ers taxing the wisdom of the
learned. Second was "Pil
grim's Progress" with ts
quaint characters and vivid
scenes related in simple. vig-
orous English. Aesop's Fa.
bles" vas a third, and intro
duced the log-cabin boy to a
wonderful range of charac-
ters-the gods ofmythology,
the different ranks and class
es of mankind, and every an
imal under thesun' Fourth,
was a History OF the United
States in which there was the
charm OF truth and m ore
modern tone, and from which
were learned the lessons OF
patriotism t h at Lincoln's
manhood put, into action.
Last came Weems' "Life of
Washington" a queer, stilted
book, bnt one full of detail
that made Washington seem
a living example,
These fiye books we're the
beginning OF Lincoln's educa
ton; and what wise man hae
outgrown them all?
From the Bible, Pilgrims
Progress and Aesop's Fables
the boy Lincoln learned the
power and beauty Of plain
English works, and saw that
the grandest thoughts a n d
the most poetic imaginings
needed only the strong little
words of every day. When,
therefore. in the later life he
wished to be sure he under
stood any matter it. became
his custom to translate it in
to words such as a child can
understand.
Read again the Gettysburg
address and the Second Inau
gural, and learn how Lincoln
could make the hOmespIn
words of common use move
the hnaf ts of his fellOwmen,
Uho will tell us what books
were read by thergreat men
and women of the past when
they were young readers?"
