Special to The Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, June %
The steamers H. G. Dalton and d. NJ
Clemens will be launched at the ship
yards in this city the coming Saturday
and 1t promises to be the biggest affair
of the kind ever held in the city. The
steamers are 455 and 468 feet in length
over all and are two of the largest
boats ever built on the great lakes.
This fact is expected to bring hun
dreds of people to the shipyards, while
in addition there will be a large num-
Der of excursionists in the city from
st. Cloud and other points.
The shipyards have 1900 men en-
ployed, and as soon as the two boats
are launched Saturday the keel will be
laid for the sixth boat, two having al
ready been launched and one being on
the stocks now, besides the two to be
launched Saturday. The keel for the
new one will be laid within a few
hours after the launching.
Package freight is not being receiv-
ed at Superior in very large quantities,
and the outlook is that there will be a
decided decrease in the showing at this
port this year. The warehouses are
not being pushed as in most seasNns.

CHRISTENING A SHIP.
Three Ways the Girls Have of Smash
ing the Bottle.

Three Ways the Girls Have of Smash
ing the Bottle.
Rear Admiral Bowles, chief con-
structor of the navy, who was an in
terested spectator at the recent launch
of the armored cruiser Colorado at
Philadelphia, has made some interest
ing comments on the general subject
Of the methods practiced in chrfsten-
ing warships by breaking bottles of
champagne on their prows. According
to his experience, there are three ways
of handling the bottle on such occa-
sions.
He describes one as the baseball
method, in which the bottle is held like
bat and hurled against the side of
the ship, with a long, sweeping swing.
with energy enough for home run
or ree-bagger at least. Another
method is described as the tennis blow.
In which the bottle is smashed against
the PROV with full-arm serve The
admiral is quoted as saying that this
method was used by the sponsor of the
Colorado. The third method is de-
scribed as the ping pong style, and is
a dainty little smash, sufficiently
vicious, however. to shower the cham
payne on the hull and sometimes on
the fair operator also.
1t is admitted that none Of these
methods is perfect and that failure is
possible in EACH through the nervous
ness or excitement Of the operator, who
by bad aim or lack of sufficient force
may fail to break the bottle, and in
that way spoil the whole proceedings.
A failure Of that kind might be disas-
trous to a ship, at least from a senti-
mental viewpoint and as the sailors
say, would "hoodoo" that particular
vessel. In one case, the sponsor delay
ed the blow until the descending shin
got beyond her reach; but she was
equai to the occasion. and by a well
directed throw managed to smash the
bottle broadside on.
To avoid the possibility Of such ac-
cidents. Admiral Bowles suggests the
use, OF device attached to the ship in
such a way that when the young lady
releases the bottle it is bound to strike
against the Prov of the ship with suffl
clent force to release it's contents. and
mus give the ship it's maiden bath be-
