Not Attending In Rusiness

The shrewdness OF one OF the foun-
ders OF a famous estate in Maine gave
rise 10 many amusing stories, one OF
which has recently been retold.
One day the man, who was large
lumber operator. was experimenting a
crew which was breaking up a log jam
IN the river. Suddenly the spruce on
which he was standing slipped. The
lumberman dropped out OF sight In the
water, and the logs closed over him.
The nearest Frenchman saw the ne
cident. Hopping briskly over the slip
perry logs, he helped the boss" 10 land.
Nothing was said about the accident.
After an hour or so the Frenehman
began to get anxious, because the re
ward which he considered due him was
not forthcoming. lie approached the
lumberman, and pulling elumsily at his
cap. stammered:

Alexandria, Ind, branch of the Ameri.

The process of blowing window glass
Is simple In theory, but difficult in
practice On the end of long tube

This is then heated in furnace and
gradually dlstended by blowing into a
large tube with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu-
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human gassblower has puz-

Lubbers machine was made successful
only after great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
saving devices and this latest triumph

MORE oFElceRs IN NAVY.

Rapidly Increasing Tonnage Not Met
by appointment.
While the tonnage of the navy has
doubled and trebled. the number of
seagoing officers has not been increased
at all aud that of the enlisted men only
! to a limited extent. Each session of
! Congress, as a rule, sees an Increase
In the tonnage; the increases in the
men have come at rare intervals aud
on strong presentation by the Navy
i Department; whereas there has been
no increase of officers.
The completed and authorized ton
mage by the last Navy Register, Jan
nary, 1902, was In round numbers $780,
900 tons. This viii require, when all
the vessels shall have been finished, an
enlisted force of $1,000 men and boys.
i In the meantime, TO insure that ELI
j Client crews shall be ready TO man the
completed ships. what Is needed now
Is that the Secretary of the Navy shall
have power to enlist men and train
them as needed, not to exceed the ratio
as above determined.
The average annual increase since
the Spanish war Gin one year there WIS
no increase authorizedD has been 54,-
600 tons. This is by no means an ex-
cessiye rate; but. TO be conservative
and to allow for possible dimnutlons,
assume that 10000 tons Qwothirds
the current appropriation, will repre-
sent the annual increase up TO 1913,
making a total at that time of 1,24O,OOO
tons. At the ratio as above given this
? would require 3.720 officers. There are
now about LOGO officers on the list,
counting the midshpmen who have
passed the four years course and are
at sea. Thus, there must be an In
crease of 2.660 officers all told.
The annual waste is now by law
about 4 per cent. Suppose all volnn-
tary retrements stopped and the waste
cut down to 8 per cent. The average
list from now till 1913 would be $3.50,
3 per cent of which Is 72 annually, or
about 100 in eleven years. which. add
ed to 2,6G0, makes 3, $50, the number of
graduates required for the eleven
years. There will be this coming year
at the academy 466 midshipmen li95

three-fourths of them graduate, say
$50. This, taken from the total mum.

300 to be appointed and graduated
under the new law. AS the first ap
pointment cannot be made till 1903
the first graduation will not be until
1907. and there will be seven classer
altogether, up TO and including 1918.
Hence 300 must be divided by seven,
which gives 443 as the number of an
nual graduates.
Assuming still that three-fourths of
those appointed graduate, says a writer
in the North American Review, there
must be 591 appointments annually. be
