WEIGHT OF THE HOE.

was one that weighed 432 pounds" said
John d. Rockefeller. He smiled family
and resumed:
Il happened on this hole in my young
er days. when l was in the refining bust
ness in small way at Hartford. l had
ordered two castings, each thirty-six
inches square and ten inches thick, the
first casting TO be solid and the second
to have a perforation about twenty inches
in diameter through the middle. Well.
the foundry clerk throug.i some sort of
an error, billed both castings to me
as though they were solid and when 1
pointed out his mistake. sent me a cred

this slip taken the dimensions of the hole,

REMOVAL OF FRENCH CAPTAINS.

The recent removal from their COM
mands of two French captains. whose
vessels were in collision in the Mediter-
ranean, has provoked some lively criti-
cism is Paris. 1t appears that two bat
tleships, the Gaulois and Bouvet, received
some slight damage through collision
during the general manoeuvres of
squadron. The commanders were summon
ed before a commission of inquiry, which
eXonerated them from blame, as did the
Admiral in command of the squadron.
The minister of marine, NJ. Pelletan, how
ever, entertained contrary opinion, and
relieved both officers. His action is con-
demned pretty vigorously among experts,
anon gothers by the ex-minister of mar
ine NJ. Lockroy, who says frankly that
ii is not possible while sitting in a minis
terial Office to form a judgment on a
manoeuvre executed by naval units in
the Mediterranean or on the ocean. In
such cases excessive punishment is like
ly to create in officers timidity contrary
to their anture, which may have the
effect of preventing them from venturing
upon difficult but necessary manoeuvre.
He goes on to say that this applies par
ticularly to small vessels such as tor
pedo boats and destroyers. The officer
who causes most damage to them is fire.
quently the most capable, he has to
navigate in shallow water and is exposed
constantly TO all sorts of perils. To get
good crews and good officers 1t is nee
essary, he insists, TO run the risk of occa-
sional damage to the vessels. as it is only
i'm danUarouS manoeliVreS that both car
learn the business. If they are not habit
uated TO danger. what will happen, he
asks, in time of war? If the commanders
take no risk, they and their ships will be
sunk, and if they do, they will be likely
to destroy themselves through the want
of nractjce -

F. ]. Sargent, the civil engineer
who>is here from Jennings, La, to
put in the sewers at Fort Brown,
tells some strange stories OF the
ideas men in the East and even at
his home have of Brownsville. He
said that he was never more sur
prised than when he arrived here
and saw such evidences of Amer
lean civilization and met so many
Americans as he finds here. The
prevailing opinion of the people
East is that Brownsville is a town
made up almost entirely of Spanish
and Mexican population and its
social customs and methods of
business are of the types natural to
be found in such communities. He
was very much surprised to find
daily newspaper published here.
OF course, the real conditions here
are either under or oyer-draWn
