ADMIRALTY is ROTTEN
Lord Beresford Criticises Brit
ish Navy in Plain
Terms.

London. june 20.-During the dis
cussiOn OF the navy estimates in the
house OF commons today, Rear Admiral
Lord Charles BeresfOrd. conservative
scathingly criticised the deficiencies of
the navy. He declared the whole adj
miralty system was rotten and led TO
great extravaganza, and that there
was a general want Of efficiency i'm the
navy. on which depended the excess of
the empire. This was the Judgment
Of ali the commissioners of INQUIRY and
had been proven a fact. Every in
crease in the number of ships and ev-
cry improvement in them had been the
result Of outside agitation. AS a re-
suit of such agitation, the British Med
iterranean feet was now a fourth
stronger than a year ago. It is re-
markable. Lord BeresfOrd added. thar
both army and navy officers were COM
PEELED 10 threaten TO resign in order
to get things righted.
Great Britain had only 10000 naval
reserves instead Of the requisite $4,000.
and the engine room departments were
thousands Of men short. AS to arIna-
ment both the United States and
France possessed superior guns. Blum
ders would continue until a separate
board was appointed at the admiralty
and was made responsible for the eff
ficiency Of the feet. Treasury control
was fatal to. efficiency. AS an instance.
the speaker pointed out the case of
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt. who.
when chancellor OF the eXchequer. put
his pen through the ammunition sup
plies after the guns had been ordered.

CHINESE JADE CARVINGS.
Where the Best Samples Of the Beau
tiful Stone Are Found.

From the New York Evening Post
The acquisition of the Bishop collection of
Jades by the Metropolitan Museum of Art
will enable the New York public to gain a
comprehensive knowledge of that beautiful
precious mineral and of the wonderful
workmanship Of the oriental artists and
artisans who use it for glyptic decoration.
While the stone Is not uncommon mineral
ogically, the varieties used In eastern art
are quite rare. The best kinds come from
from Burmah, while Manipur, Thibet, Yum
nan, Sze-chuen, and Quang-si are said to
supply large quantities annually So large
Is the demand, so grasping the tax collec-
tors, and so tempting the prize to thieves
that the mines are kept as secret as possible
Only those which belong to princes or high
mandarins are openly acknowledged All
others are exploited under cover. A series
Of deposits in Yun-nan have been known
and worked by one family for several CEN
turtles, yet the location has been so well
guarded that the Chinese officials are, or
profess to be, ignorant of their whereabouts
While jade comes in many shades, and
even colors. only a few are regarded as
precious in the orient. These are the green
ranging from dark olive to pale apple green
the gray, and the brownish yellow. The
other colors are not without value, as the
stone is employee in making pedestals for
vases, figures, incense boxes and altar
pieces
Texture is next in Importance to color.
Translucence is more esteemed than trans
parency, semi-opacity, or opacity. Cloudi-
ness, dapplng, and symmetrical spotting
are very popular. In both color and tex
ture the element of fashion enters During
the Han dynasty dark olive or bottle green
We're prime favorites. The Ming dynasty
seemed to prefer pale blush green's, while
the present Manchu dynasty upholds the
semi-opaque apple-green.
These dynastic preferences are of use in
determining the age of a jade. Another
criterion Is the workmanship. The Oldest
specimens are simple and graceful. Some
of the vases and jars are of the same threa-
centered oval type the Etruscan vase
while others will compare we'll with Greek
designs. oldest Of all is the use of the
Greek border on a fiat fillet, which marks
so many Of the Han carvings. The Ming
creations are more complex and fantastic
Dragon and snake forms replace the vines
leaves and flowers of the Han period. In
verified curves and conceived hypothenuses
are used profusey if not recklessly

Prophecy About Shamrock III.

From the Shipping Bulletin.
do not agree with the opinion that the
new Fife boat will be % the Swimming
dish or scow type. but think that she will
be of smaller beam than either Shamrock,
while carrying approximately the same sail
area In my opinion. she will be boat
more in line with the Columbia; that is,
with a water line not so full forssCd, ard
clean aft.
From my talks with Fife and Watson
am convinced that they have both agreed,
after discussing the elements OF tie two
boats, to produce boat or less foEeI,
easier form, with a. symmetry OF poth ehos
cleaner and sharper than any OF the chai-
Iengers that have heretofore come over.
This being the case, the Shamrock III VIII
he a boat of sweet easy form, hde bow and
clean quarters-a boat that can easily be
driven and one that should make her best
performance In a sea and wind.
Both Watson and Fife thought that their
creations were too full, and, while they
might size up strong In ali-round per-
Torrance. still were weak In comparison
with the Columbia in a sea and wind, or IN
a sea and no wind, on account Of their
fuller bodies.
Watson, in his narrow-osam boat the
Distant Shore since Dekraid, easily beat
the more powerful Sabyrita with her
greater driving power, and, While these
two boats were close in Ugh; weather, IN a
sea and wind the De..raid proved herself
much the better boat.

POOR SPELLING.
Usually Result of Ones Own Care
lessness or Neglect.

From the Philadelphia Record.
This year a very large number of appli-
cants for admittance into the Northwestern
University, near Chicago, proved to pe
painfully defective as to spelling. Also an
inability to spell afflicted extraordinary
proportion of the graduating class. An eN-
animation has shown that the percentage
of poor spoilers among the public school
teachers in Chicago is very high. Perhaps
1t is this which has induced leading news
paper of the place to advocate a phonetic
system and to deform it's columns with UNI
authorized spellings The college author
tiles are disposed to explain the prevailing
photographic condition by condeInning the
way In which spelling is taught in the
schools
Naturally there are many Chicago peo-
pie who look upon the ability to spell well
as a gift-as a power which cannot be ac-
quired by any human effort. Il is true
that there have been many persons or
strong intellect and great deal or BOOK
knowledge who have not spelled as well as
the father of his country, who was hlmselt
very far from a spelling school Champion.
Even so great a master of words as Robert
Louis Stevenson was lame In this partic-
ular. His three efforts to spell the word
catarrh were 'catarh, cattarhc ard
this last in obvious desperation ''cattar-
rrhhh." Persons who are afflicted in TINS
way consider 1t very hard that the apllity
to spell correctly should be made test OF
|
That there persons who can in no
way learn to spell all the words or most
of the words Of common speech ac-
croding to authority is affirmed by medi-
cal psychologists No amount Of aapp!i-
cation, we told, and no rewards oc
punishments Including the rIdicuie and
scorn of mankind), can enabie certain UNI
fortunates to master the art. Such persons
may justly complain that they should be
cursed by their autographs sins while
Ii any body may confess to having no ear Tor
music, or to being unable to draw stralsnt

full, however, II the great majority OF these

herited defect. They cannot spell simply

and time enough to the study SpeDins

| others; but all except very few could
| learn to spell II they should choose TO give
| the necessary time to it, Still, it is prob
able that most poor spoilers exaggerate
the popular contempt for bad spelling.
Stevenson, as an exception, seemed to have
no care about 1t, but admitted his fefec-
tiveness with as little shame as he would
mention a headache. 1t is too bad, though,
that pupils should suffer through wrong
