LONDON, Aug. "Details given in
the House Of Commons this week as
. the EhipbuiIding programme OF the
British Government for the present
year show that the two new battle
ships Of the Lord Nelson class will be
truly worthy OF their great names.
Their batteries are such as has never
before been put into any fighting ship.
On displacement Of 16,5OO tons, or
80 tons larger than the previous
largest (the King Edward), they viii
carry fourteen big armor piercing
guns a comparison OF the two types
gives the following results:
The King Edward-Guns, four T.
inch, four s.e-inch, ten 6-inch; ton
mage, 1885, speed. 1S1z knots.
The Lord Nelson-Guns, four T.
lrch, ten s.2-incL; tonnage, 1850;
speed, IS knots.
he advantage IN the new ships lies
IN their greater number of 9.2-inch
guns This weapon Is one Of the most
powerful IN existence. Firing a $50
pound shell twice or thrice a minute
snd driving il through thirty-five
Inches Of iron, il is more powerful
than any gun Of similar type
mounted on foreign battleships.
The four twelve-inch guns fire $50
pound shells through some four feet
OF iron.
In exchange for this overwhelming
superiority in heavy gun fire. the six
inch gun carried in the King Edward
disappears
The four new armored cruisers are
also % be remarkable and Of great
SIZE, being the largest cruisers built
for the British or any other navy.
They are 70 be known as the Mfnotaur
ciasc. They VIII steam tweutv-three
knots displace 1880 tons, or 400
more than the Drake class. and viii
carry four s.2-inch guns Of the same
type as those on the Lord Nelson and
ten of the new 7.5-inch guns. which
IRE four 2oo-Dound shells a minute
through more than two feet OF iron.
Both the cruisers and the battle
ships viii represent a capita OF
$4,000, GOO.

children picked I'D in the tenement dis

The car was on its way to the Seaside
Home, at Surf avenue and Twenty
seventh street. where the children were
to have a days outing. 1t was at Surf
avenue and Tenth street when there
was a loud explosion, followed by sew
eral binding flashes. Then flames rose
from the sides and the front OF the car.
The shrieks of the children could be
heard for blocks away, and a big crowd
gathered The car slowed down. but it
had not come to full stop when from
both sides the children began jumping
to the street. falling on the cObble-
stones and injuring themselves. The
twenty women we're calling out 10 their
charges to remain in their seats while
many OF the crowd were crying to them
to jump. The advice from the crowd
was needed by more than half the chill
dren.
A cry went up that a girl in the front
seat was burning, and many rushed in
that direction. Roundsman Griffin OF
the Coney Island station. was the first
to reach the front OF the car. Flames
we're envelOping the sides and front and
streaming from the motor box itself
about the floor. Calling to the con-
ductor to pull the trolley pole of. the
roundSman jumped on the car three or
four seats back from the front and
climbing over reached the girl and
pulled her away from the flames. Her
light dress was afire, and before the
roundsman could beat out the flames 1t

STILL SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

That the japanese learned their
lessons well nobody can deny and the
fact that Japan still believes she can
get something from foreign nations is
evidenced by the large numbers of
japanese students to be found all
over the world. This war Is the first
IN which modern fighting machinery
IS IN the hands of both contestants.
Hence to the military world every en-
gagement is full of vital interest. The
theories Of the science TO which mill
tary and naval men have been devot-
ing their lives are being tried out as
would be possible in no other way and
tne opportunity to observe the opera
uons on land and sea would be OF In
caiulaDle benefit. Japan has the
chance or her life TO repay, in a meas
ure, past favors through which she is
now aDle TO stand up against the bear.
And what is she doing?
she IS treating the military attaches

Writer Who Risked Life
to Enter Port Ar.
thur Is Here.

The japanese possess great phys
ical bravery. They are morally
oblique, however, and ingratitude is
their most pronounced characteristic" :"
Thus are the little brown antagon-
lists OF the Gar. criticized by Hector
Fuller, war correspondent of the In
dianapolis News and one of the few
newspaper men TO win their way into
the heart Of the Far Eastern disturb
ance and TO have seen something of
the actual conflict from both sides
Fuller's thrilling entry into Port Ar
thur is part of the history OF the war
and whatever his judgment is worth
ne should be in possession OF plenty
of facts upon which to base an opin-
ion worthy of record.
Fuller arrived here yesterday on the
liner Doric and viii leave in a few
days for his Indianapolis home. He
may resume his desk as dramatic and
literary editor Of the paper which sent
him TO japan or he may, if the cre-
dentials can be obtained, spend the
coming winter campaigning with the
Russian forces. He wants no more
OF japan.
When Japan began to open her
eyes" said Fuller, the first thing she
saw was the necessity for a scientific
knowledge of the art OF war. The
civilized nations Of the world went to
her aid. They welcomed Japan's ca
dets at their naval and military
schools and gave to the little brown
students as much attention and care
as they devoted to the training of
their own officers. There are gradu-
ates from American and European na-
val and military academies on every
japanese Warshfp and with each of
her numerous regiments on land. It
is the ideas planted by foreign instruc-
tors and nourished under Caucasian
discipline that are now being turned

FELLIN ELEVATOR SHAFT.

A crowd of employees pressing against
the elevator gate last night on the sixth
floor Of the Brown Shoe Company Build
ing, in St. Louis, caused the gate to give
way, and 10 persons were plunged down
the shaft. Six were taken out dead,
and the other four, seriously injured,
were hurried to the city hospital. Two
of the injured died soon after reaching
the hospital and without regaining con-
sciousness. The employees had assem-
bled at the close Of work in the corridors
on the different floors waiting for the
elevator to take them down. The eleva-
tor at the seventh floor receiving pas
sengers when those on the sixth floor,
eager to get near the door and be first
into the cage, began to push toward the
gate. Suddenly the gate gave way just
as the elevator started to descend, and
10 of the employees plunged head first
down the shaft. James johnson, the
elevator operator, was taken into custody
by the police pending an investigation.
johnson said the elevator gate did not
break, but that it had been raised by
employees while waiting for the car to
descend TO the floor, and suddenly enl-
ployes in the rear of the crowd began
pushing, precipitating them down the
shaft. Factory Superintendent Fray
corrob0rated JohnsOn's story.

PASSING OF THE HEARTH.

An elderly woman in Wisconsin, who
was young wife in the young West, Is
telling in local newspaper few OF the
things that the young wife of the older
West does not have to do. And in tell
ing of this she recalls yividly her home
as it was sixty years ago. There we're
no wood, coal or gas ranges in those days,
but there was fireplace with a wide,
deep hearth-and a chimney that would
draw, built large enough for the sweep
to pass through.
The fireplace would take a log four or
five feet long and foot and half
through. This was piled on andirons,
and as there were no matches in those
davs one of the greatest anxietics OF the
careful housewives was to prevent the
fire from going out. If it did go out she
had to 90 to one of the neighbOrs, per-
haps a quarter of a mile away, for
shOveful of live Goals.
One of the signs of neatness in a
housekeeper in those old ways was the
way she kept the hearth cleaned, using
the broom and wing, and a few Of
her many duties were to dip can
dies, put down pork and beef by the
barrel, make sausage for the year, put
down lard by the jar, preserved fruit by
the gallon, apple sauce by the quantity,
boiled cider by the keg to provide dried
beef and smoked ham, to spin all the
yarn for the mems clothes, to weave 1t
into cloth, and t, send it to the dyers to
be dyed, fulled and pressed.
The coming of the cooking stove
marked the beginning of the new epoch
in the lives of ourgrandmOthers. ooh, 7"
exclaims this survivor, '.the good cheer
the fireplace brought to the children

and the hearth are most of my dear ones
with whom | knelt every day. ."-[Chi-
