the TWO battleShips, and they are the
mightiest war vessels ever designed.
Their great size of 10000 tons displace-
ment will make them the peers of the
largest battleships in the world, while
their offensive power will give them
superiority over the most powerful
ships In any other navy.
The fact that these two ships can be
built without in any way overtaxing
American manufacturing resources at
tests the recent development of ship
building plants in the United States.
One of the battleships, the Connecticut,
is to be constructed by the government
ut the New York navy yard. The ac-
tual work may be considered as having
been begun few weeks ago. when the
order for the hull material, excepting
the armor, was placed. The acceptance
of the bid of the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock company to
furnish, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment, the Louisiana, a sister ship, for
$3.990,O00 inaugurated the work on
that vessel.
Besides these latest additions to our
navy five other splendid battleships are
being built. They are the Georgia,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Nebraska
and Virginia and until the new ships
were designed were considered to be
without superiors. They are enormous
in size. only equaled abroad by three
vessels recently designed for Great
Britain. They are 435 feet long, with
displacement of $1,000 tons. 1t is con-
coded by foreign critics that in the
main essentials they are unsurpassed
by European ships.
The increase of the United States
navy during the last few years and
the distribution OF the contracts among
the principal private shipbuilding
plants are mainly responsible for their
present efficient equipment. Although
the commercial tonnage now building
in this country is greater than ever be-
fore, it was comparatively Insignificant
previous to the war with Spain.
When the first contract for an Amer
lean built warship was taken by John
Roach. the ship steel required was not
produced in the United States. 1t was
necessary to import much of it from
abroad But the demand soon created

The Best Remedy for Group

From the Atchison (Kans.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most terri
bic things in the world is to be awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, as revolver
is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used TO be an old-fashiosed
remedy for Group, known as hive syr-
up and tolu, but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Kemedy is better, and does not cost
so much. 1t causes the patient to
throw UP the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

crossing in apparently endless con-
fusion marks the exact size and shape
OF every piece of steel that goes into
the hull of the ship.
There are now six great shipbuilding
plants on the Atlantic coast and two
on the Pacific fully equipped for build
ing ships of steel of any desired size.
They can compete with the British
yards except in the matter of price.
Owing to the higher rate of wages paid
American workmen, it is said. the cost

is stilll20 per cent higher than in Eng

Some big merchant ships have also
been turned out in American yards.

Few Grow Nine Feet High, the Ma
jOrity Being Under Eight Feet.
The average term of an elephants
life, although there is no precise in
formation on the point, is seventy or
eighty years. The elephant is not In
full yigor and strength till thirty-five.
The most ready way OF forming an APP
proximate idea of the age is by the
amount of turn over of the upper edge
of the ear. In young animals, some
times up to the age of eight or nine
years, the edge is quite straight. 1t.
however, then begins to turn over, and
by the time the animal is thirty the
edges lap over to the extent of an inch,
and between this age and sixty this
increases TO two inches or slightly
more. Extravagant ideas are held as
to the height OF an elephant. Such q
thing as an elephant measuring ten
feet at the shoulder does not exist i'll
India or Burma. Sanderson. who is ad-
mitted to be the best authority on the
subject says the largest male he ever
met with measured 9 feet 10 inches
and the tallest female s feet > inches.
The majority of elephants, however,
are below eight feet, and an animal
rarely reaches nine feet. the femal
being slightly shorter than the male.
| The carcass of an elephant q feet inch
es tall weighed in portions gave total
weight of 5000 pounds. so an elephant
weighing two tons should be common
enough. The skin was about three
| fourths of an inch thick.
