drive them in the old-fashioned way, and
we may watch dozens of things like hoist
ing and lathe running and drilling and
transportation being done here by cleo
tricity, which along the old lines would
have been carried out in slower and more
expensive ways, while in the huge stern
posts we have seen the very latest thing in
cast steel, for casting in steel is not only
a new art not yet reduced to a science.
but stern posts and rudder franes for bat
tleships are among the very most dificult
things that the steel caster has so far at

Imagining our two fighters as they will
appear when complete, we see two white,
wall-sided warships, 445 feet long. proceed

penditure of twenty tons Of coal and the
conversion Of 100 tons of water into steam.
Below the gracefully sheered main deck Is
visible a row Of small gun forming the
secondary battery" At both Manila apd
Santiago 1t was observed that, although big
guns were of the greatest ultimate advan-
tage, most OF the fight. when the distance

execution among the smaller rapid firing

strength and Importance Of the secondary
batteries of these twin ships. Above the

perworks intervenes between them, sur
counted by two stout military masts, with
fighting tops and signal yards, and three
tunnels pouring out volumes OF smoke-all
contributing to a very solid, castle-like
effect.
Finally. the all-important question Of
what these two battleships can do and how
they compare with similar craft in other
navies, can be effectively answered by
quoting a recent paragraph from one Of the
best known scientific weeklies. A vessels

Talk with Alleged SpOOk

Strange developments came last week at
the Griggs house. Port Huron. Mich, where
spooks have been in possession for a week,
and in the presence of several prominent
s~piritualists the s~pirit-knocking conveyed
the message that the spirit was that OF Mrs.
Griggs' hrst husband, and not the second
one, whom she is suing for divorce. Briggs
was Mrs. Griggs' first husbands name, and
he is dead. Bert Remwick. a prominent
spiritualist' deciphered the spirit knocks
and received a message of cheer from Briggs
for his widow.

guns to the common denomination Of the
12-pounder, we get the FIRE values for one
broadside as follows: New Jersey, 80;
King Edward. rs; Republique. II; Vittorio

means, in nOn-technieal terms that In a
given time and under equal conditions
Rhode Island and New Jersey could throw
more metal and make the other fellow
sorrier for it than the premier ships Of any
Of our friends the enemy. And the article
goes on to say that by dividing the dis
placement into these figures we can place
the values OF the ships In gun fires per

lows: New Jersey, 6.3; Vittorio Emanuele.

All these points Of battleship building
are the more interesting, of course, be-
cause of the tremendous Importance Of the
result. There is little satisfaction, either.
in building a battleship unless 1t is 10 be
a better ship and a more powerful fighter

Consequently battleship designers must be
engineering pioneers hunting for new facts

Consequently, also battleship builders must
be mechanical pioneers to carry out the

The Audubon society in Washington has many prominent mem bers. President Roosevelt is one of it's honorary vice presidents; also Bishop Satterlee and MT. Charles J. Bell. MT. and Mrs. Thomas r.

How the English Government Is
 Helping TransyaaI Farmers.
 The revived Transyaal government of South Africa Is being furnished Ameri- can cattle and mules on credit by the English government, says New Or leans dispatch. The steamship Allan tan arrived recently at South Africa after two record breaking voyages loaded with cattle. The steamer left New Orleans last March for Galveston, where she took on 2,549 head of cattle, the largest shipment on record. Said MT. Maule, one of the men in charge: < These cattle were shipped under the supervision of Major Maud, who came over from England to purchase cattle on behalf of the British government, which desires to restock the farms of the Transvaal by selling cattle to the farmers on time"
 People in the Transvaal are begin ming to recover from losses sustained during the war, it is reported.
