1.-THE rise Of Germany as n naval
and maritime power during the last
80 years has surprised the world;
believe that her battleships, for their
tonnage, are the best ailoat," said
Rear Admiral George w. Melville,
chief Of the engineering bureau of
the United States navy, in paper
read by him before the Engineers
club of Philadelphia city.
Admiral Mclvillc's subject was "The
Military Importance of Naval Engi-
ncering Experiments" lie referred
to the scope and purpose Of the en-
Eincering laboratory that Is to be
established Mt Annapolis.
"1he success Of Germany" he CON
tinucd, "can only be accounted for
by recognizing the fact that study,
reflection and research must have
been expended in the preparation Of
the plans in the building up and tho
organization of the shipyards and in
laying out and carrying on the work
of construction"

CAPTURED THE WRONG LION.
Conn l m e mt Inter ded for Noted Lee
turer Falls to the Head
Waiter.

The career of q social lion hunter Is
liable to be attended with an Occa-
sional disappointment, even though on
the whole successful. Burton Holmes,
on some of his tours as lecturer, has
been considerably Honized, and heteils
this story of compliment which he
missed, but which was enjoyed by an
other says the New York Times. He
was lecturing in an eastern city, and a
reception was given In his honor at the
principal hotel of the place.
Among those who attended this re-
ception was woman prominent social
ly who has established sort OF
salon." and received her friends Sun
day afternoons, trying to provide
''lion" or two for each occasion.
Burton Holmes was so fortunate as
not to be presented to the fair lion
hunter, but she presented herself to
the man she had stalked for her game,
and urged upon him her invitation for
the Sunday afternoon. He very mod
estly attempted to decline it. His ex-
cuses were not accepted, and the VIC
tim consented to appear. Extra ar
engagements were made for this occa-
sion, and the fact that Mr.. Holmes was
to be there was heralded abroad On
the day all the youth and beauty of the
place gathered together awaiting the
advent OF somewhat tardy lion. who
was received with every mark OF con-
sideration, and appeared to be en-
barrassed thereby. The head waiter
had been mistaken for the eminent lee
turer.
