GREAT FLOATING DRY DOCK.
Huge Atfair to BE Built and lowed to
the Philippines.

Huge Affair to BE Euilt and lowed to
the Philippines.
The largest steel floating dry dock
in the world, to float the largest battle
ships, and one that is to be towed 49,
600 miles to the Philippine Islands will
be built for the government by the
Maryland Steel Company. The dock
Is to be 500 feet long and of extra
strength and weight, weighing 10000
tons principally to enable it to stand
a voyage half way round the world.
The dock will cost 81, $4,000 and will
be twenty-seven months in building.
The builders are to deliver the great
structure on the Atlantic cost and the
navy department will take UP the gi-
gantic task of getting the dock to its
destination.
When the Maryland Steel Company
undertook to deliver the AlgierS dock
at New Orleans four tug boats took

the Baltimore American. The dock
put to sea in tow Of steamship and
two sea tugs, making only four knots
an hour. 1t was said that the tow
bill was $4,000 and that $4,000 in
surance on the dock was paid for the
voyage. The dock will have to be
towed across the Atlantic ocean.
through the Mediterranean sea, down
the Suez Canal and Red sea, across
the Indian ocean and ND the China
sea to Manila. If four knots an hour
is made it will require 151 days for
the voyage if no stops are made, which
will be impossible, owing to the towing
ships having to recoal or wait for
good weather The tow will be the larg-
est and longest in history.

ONLY AN OLD SONG.

Only an old song, only love song,
The song of a day long dead;
But the sweet notes throng the whole
night long
With rain ON the roof o'erhead;
And the rain beats overhead, my dear,
And the rain beats overhead,
And the wind walls by with a note of
fear
As the old song falls on the ravished ear
From the lips as the roses red.
Oh, the red rose blooms by the place of
tombs,
Where the sainted singers sleep;
A bud we may break, for the old loves
sake,
And the tryst of the old time keep;
And the tryst of the old time keep. my
dear,
And the tryst of the old time keep.
Though the old house quake and the win
dows shake.
Yet the song MARBLES on as lie awake,
And sweet are the tears ! weep.
Only an old song, only love song;
A song of the long ago.
a child's song sung when the years were
young,
And we met in the morning glow;
When we met in the morning glow, my
dear,
When we met in the morning glow.
Still it brcathes delight through the star
less night,
But the soul responds with feeble
fight
And the oil in the lamp is low.

The self-docking system of the MAJ
Mia dock will be different from that
of the Alglers dock.
The dock must lift hattleshirs two
feet out of the water-a situation that
increases the stability of the ship fif-

to receive a ship water is admitted to
compartments in the hull through
about twenty valves admitting a vol
ume of water as large as mans
body. occupying about an hours time.
The Alglers dock has lifted the bat

HARD TO TELL AGE OF FISH.

Size Not n Criterion, for the Food
supply determines This.
1T is easy enough for a man to
study up books and then come out
and announce that he has certain theO-
ries about animal life" says Man
ager Spencer at the battery aquarium
/ to IA writer in the New York Com
merc!al Advertiser, but when he
studies the living animals themselves,
if he Is fair-minded. it won't be very
| long before he'll begin to acknowledge
that theories are of little value and
that the more man learns the more
he will realize how little he knows.
! "A man came here one day with
his head just bullying with natural
history secrets and theories of marine
life. He told me that he had found
a way to tell the age Of fishes and
got quite indignant because | refused
to agree with him. I've studied fishes
for a good many years and believe
that it's an utter imposslbility to tell
! their ages. Size can have little or
nothing to do with ages. The trout
are a good example and like all other
fishes their growth Is governed by
their food supply. In some locali-
ties, when range and food supply are
restricted, trout seldom grow to large
size In other localities, such as the
! large lakes of Maine, the fish reach Il
weight of from six to ten pounds. 1t
Is no uncommon thing for trout to
be placed in a we'll and remain there
| for a dozen, fifteen or even twenty
years, and when taken out weigh less
than a pound.
when l was boy l lived up in
Vermont. There was trout brook
running across my fathers farm. The
banks were narrow and grassy and
the waterway cold and quite deep.
There was one big trout which always
stayed in one hole under the bank He
was not so very large. but perhaps
weighed pound and half. When
wanted to scare him out | would
stand and joggle the bank above him
and he would go shooting up stream,
but would invariably return to his hole.
Year after year tried to capture that
trout by spearing him and year after
year failed. Trout were scarce In the
brook and l have every reason to be-
lieve that it was one trout l pursued
year after year. In all the time the
willy fellow hardly grew an inch. and
it was only another proof that the
age of fishes is not determined by
their size.
"Some men assert that the age Of
the oyster can be told by the layers Of
lime In the shell. While it may be
possible, it is as far as we know only
theoretic. Trout are peculiar fish. 1t
may surprise great many people to
learn that trout are often found In
salt water and. in fact, thrive In 1t.
Eight or nine years ago trout nearly
eight inches long was caught In
Gravesend bay. The trout was placed
In a tank of salt water at the aquarium
and lived for many months"

FLY BLAMED FOR FEVER,
Insect is Accused Of Spreading Ty
Dhoid in Chicago.

DhOfu in Chicago.
An inquiry into the recent epidemic
of typhoid fever in Chicago, made by
residents of Hull House, shows some
extremely interesting facts, especially
concerning the connections that the
common house fly may have with ty-
phoid fever.
The City Homes Association has
published and distributed pamphlet
showing the result in investigations
made by Miss Maud Gernon, Miss
Gertrude Howe, and DR.. Alice Hamil-
ton. The research was conducted at
Memorial Institute for Infectious Dis
eases.
The pollution Of the water supply
by sewage has generally been believed
to be the great source of danger, but
experiments have proved that the fly
may be the means of spreading dis
ease broadcast.
During the recent epidemic a COM
paratively small area of the West
Side suffered most. Over one-siXth
of the deaths occurred in the Nine
teenth ward. The typhoid epidemic
was found to be most severe where the
sewerage was most imperfect. tine
plumbing poor, and other conditions
bad.
Two places were selected near Hull
House for the purpose of examination.
Flies were captured about the prem
ises and put in cultures. The result
showed typhoid fever germs.
The pamphlet calls attention to the
lack of measures on the part Of the
Board of Health. Complaints fire.
quently made were unanswered. The
methods employed by the Board and
its employees are gone into at length
and severe criticisms are made.-Chi-
cago Journal.

BELL FROM FAMOUS BOAT.
Houston Building Structure for Shell
ter of a Civil War Relic.


When visitors at the city park view
the historic bell that hangs suspend
ed in the pretty tower just north Of
the main entrance they will recall the
valiant charge of the wooden ships in
Galveston harbOr at the time of threat
ened federal invasion. The bell
tower is now in course of construction
in the park. The bell will toll out
the hours Of the opening and closing Of
the park.
The bell that now fulfills this peace
full mission, says the Houston Post,
was taken from the decks of the ia
nous Harriet Lane, the federal gun
boat that babe fair to wreck Calves
ton and the coast country. When in
October Of 1862 the federal vessels
made their appearance in the harbor,
Capt. Leon Smith, in command of the
confederate navy department on the
Island, decided to make bold stand
and on the old Bayou City, loaded
with cotton. he steamed forth to meet
the invading forces. His storm Of
heavy shell was sufficient to sink the
Harriet Lane and several sister sbiDs.
The Lane was under command of
Capt Wainwright. the father of the
heroic lieutenant who performed such
valiant service for his country at San
tiago bay during the war with Spain.
The bell of the sunken vessel passed
into the control of the r. f. Lee chap
ter of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. The bell was held some
time and then few weeks ago was
periodically donated to the city with
the provision that suitable tower be
built for its protection and preserva-
ton. A tablet giving the history of
the bell will be placed on the tower.

The hat was ordered from Fifth

The price originally named for it to

The hat frame was big fare, rolled

was required in covering 1t with the

without the aid Of scissors. There was
no trimming whatever except in the
sable tails, which were utilized to the

When the hour for trying on the hat

PASSION FOR REVOLUTIONS.
Repeating Rifles and Cannon Have
Failed to Work a Cure.


Failed to Work a Cure.
If some of the learned scientists
who are devoting their talents to the
study of germs would turn their at
tention to South America and the isl
ands of the Caribbean they might have
discoveries which would prove bless
ing to mankind in that disturbed quar-
ter of the world. Why should the
South American and the West Indian
take to riot and revolution as naturally
as a duck does to water, asks the Bal
timore Sun? Is it because they are
of fcrcer and more turbulent DISPOSE
ton than the inhabitants of other parts
of this hemisphere, or Is it because
they are the victims of sinister bac!lli,
germs of rampant and irresistible
strcnuosity?
Not long ago an American savant
announced that in certain parts of the
United States there is bacillus which
makes its way into the bodies of It's
unfortunate victims and produces an
invincible aversion to physical and
mental activity. If there is a germ Of
IL
bacillus of pernicous activity ana mis-
directed strenuosity as well? 1t Is not
fair to the South American brethren
to assume that they are totally de-
PRAYED; that they engage In throat
cutting and other bloody diversions
from pure love of doing evil. In some
degree. at least, they have been under
the influence of American and Euro
pean civilization for great many
years. To some extent they have in
trOduced the forms of civilization into
their governments and social institu-
tions. Yet, despite their contact with
citizens of the most enlightened nations
and their commercial and diplomatic
relations with Europe and the United
States, they have scarcely more re-
spect for law and order than the
human race displayed in the days of
primitive man.
If there are bacilli in the western
hemisphere indigenous to the tropical
regions which incite people against
its will and, natural disposition to COM
NIT deeds Of violence and murder say
ants ought to be able to find a remedy.
The antidote commonly used In cases
of perniciOus strenuosity has not prov
ed a success. Repeating rifles, bay
onets and cannon have failed to work
cure. When the South American
has introduced the germs Of revOlu-
ton and riot into his body nothing
will deter him from stirring up trouble
hot even the fear that he will be
shot or bayoneted to death. When he
is under the influence Of the bacillus
Of strenuosity-and that seems to be
chronic condition with him-he is
like the Malay fanatic who runs
amuck. killing right and left. The
scientist who discovers the remedy for
this would be one of the greatest tri-
umphs of this century If the ever-war-
ring inha bitants of the Latin-American
republics and Of Haiti were inoculated
with the bacilli of slOthfulness and re-
duced to a state of innocuOus inactiv.
ity. The implements of war have
failed to produce the desired result.
Now let science take hand and if
possible transform the turbulent folk
Of the tropics into peaceful and law
abiding citizens of the new world.

What Education Teaches.

The great thing in all education. says
a noted professor in the Beacon, is to
make our nervous system cur ally in
stead Of our enemy. 1t is to fund and
capitalize our acquisitions and live at
ease upon the interest of the fund
For this we must make automatic and
habitual, as early as possible, as many
useful actions as we can, and guard
against the growing into the ways that
are likely to be Instantaneous to
us, as we should guard against the
plague The more of the details of our
daily life we can hand over to the eff
fortress custody of autOmatonism, the
more the higher powers of mind will
be set free for their own proper work.
There is no more miserable human be-
ing than one in whom nothing is ha-
bitual but INDIGESTION, and for whom
the drinking of every cup, the time of
rising and going to bed every day, and
the beginning of every bit of work. are
subjects of express volitional delibera-
ton Full half the time of such n man
goes to the deciding, or rcgrctting. of
matters which ought to he so ingra ned
in him as practically not to exist for
his consciousness at all. If there be
such daily duties yet not inCraned in
any one of my readers, let him begin
this very hour to set the matter right.

The Angels Whisper.

The Angels Whisper.
A baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping,
For her husband was far on the wild
raging sea;
And the tempest was swelling
Round the tisherman's dwelling,
And she cried, "Dermot, darling, oh,
come back to me!'
Her beads while she Numbered,
The baby still slumber'd,
And smiled in her face us she Bonded
the knee;
"Oh, blest he that warning.
My child, thy sleep adorning,
For l know that the angels are whisper
ing with thee.
"And while they are keeping
Bright watch DER thy sleeping,
Oh, pray to them softly, my baby, with
me;
And say thou wouldst rather
They'd watch DER thy father
For l know that the angels are whisper
ing with thee"
The dawn of the morning
Saw Dermot returning,
And the wife wept with joy her babes
father to see;
And closely cnressing
Her child. with blessing,
Said. II knew that the angels were whis-
pering with thee"
