FLEET MADE
FINE SHOWING
BATTLESHIP DIVISION CROSSED
FROM YOKOHAMA IN II DAYS,
17% HOURS

The performance of the battleships in
the run from Yokohama to this port
was very creditable indeed. The big
vessels steamed to this port i'm II days
17& hours. The cruiser division did
not make such a good showing as the
battleships, and did not increase their
steamng until after they were picked
up by the battleships iast Monday af-
ternoon.
The cruisers left Yokohama Decem-
Der l in company with the collier
Pompey, while the battleships left De-
cember at noon The collier Nanshan
left Yokohama the day before the bat
tleship division, but did not go with
them as she evidently took the great
circle route. The cruisers arrived off
Midway last Saturday. They We're to
have coaled from the Pompey, but did
not do so, as the weather was too
rough. The battleship division took the
southeTly route and passed about $50
miles south of Midway The battle
ships dropped down to the SOth degree
of Latitude and passed to the south of
the chain of islands that stretch to the
northwest of the Hawaiian group
The battleships steamed at the rate
of II knots an hour for the first six
days and increased the speed to 10
MINUS ana sometimes TO l3H2 Knots an
hour. All of the, vessels were bothered
by the tremendous westerly and north
westerly swell. All of those on the
fleet agreed that the swell was the
heaviest that they had ever experience
ed The three vessels travelled in tan
dem formation at times 400 yards apart
and at others in column of double dis
tance of 800 yards. So high were the
swells that the vessels frequently lost
sight of each other except their masts,
as the boats would dip into the trough
of the sea.
On Sunday night ]. McAlllster, fire.
man on the Wisconsin, who had just
come out of the marine hospital at
Yokohama, died of heart disease The
body was buried at sea the following
morning. Monday afternoon the cruis-
ers were sighted. The cruisers increas-
ed their speed when the battleships
came up and remained together until
Honolulu was reached.
1t is expected the fleet will remain
here ten days and then return to Yo-
kohama or Manila. Admiral Evans
the commander, has received no orders
whatever on this subject.

LECKY DIDN'T DO 1T.

Lecl1y, the historian, who died recent
ly, was the victim of an odd fable that
he did all his writing lying prone on
bed, face downward, with the pillow as
his desk. Is this position Mr.. Lecky
was described as having written all his
books, and in so doing ruined countless
linen sheets and counterpanes by eff
fusion of ink. Indeed, the story ran,
an invariable item in all Mr.. Lecky's
hotel bills was charge for compensa-
ton for ink-spattered bed linen. 1t
was a wild canard, however

MUST KEEP MOUTHS SHUT.

''Aseptic silence" is now being inn
pressed upon surgeons when perform
ing operations. In other words, sur
geon is urged to keep his mouth shut
while operating lest bacilli should
emerge with his speech. Certain sur q
geons, indeed, cover their mouths with
some membrane or other which is de-
signed effectually to protect the pa
tient. Similarly it is being taught
that every surgeon should be clean
shaver, as the hairs hides countless
germs.
