THE WAIKIKI ROAD
NEEDS IMPROVE MENT

1t is said that Sam Johnson, road
supervisor. has an eye now to the i'm
provement of Waikiki road. This idea
has come TO him since he began using
an automobile instead of a horse and
buggy, for his daily rounds of the
streets. He has found that automobile
travelling on the road anywhere from
Kalia road to Kapiolani park is any
thing hut a pleasure.
That stretch of road is full of ruts
and holes and there is little or no
grade.

A FLOATING NAVY YARD.
fncle Sans Movable Repair Shop q
Unique Craft.

fncle Sans Movable Repair Shop q
Unique Craft.
What Naval Constructor William j.
Baxter of the New York navy yard
calls "a miniature floating navy yard"
will soon take It's first plunge into the
waters Of the East river.
When the craft is completed the
United States navy will be in posses
sion Of floating repair shop the like Of
which the world has never seen and
one which, according to the officials at
the navy yard, will make it possible to
repair second class cruisers, gunboats
and torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers in the bay off Tompkinsville,
the rivers or in any place where there
is water deep enough to anchor.
The floating navy yard is about 12O
feet long, 40 feet wide and will draw
about six feet Of water. It is built en-
tirely Of steel, and every inch Of space
has been utilized. At one end will be
big steam derrick capable of lifting
twenty tons, while at the other end
will be the boiler that will furnish
steam to operate dynamos, air COM
pressors and the derrick. Amidships
will be the navy yard proper.
Practically every machine used in re-
pair work will be installed somewhere
in this space, including miscellaneous
assortment Of electrical and pneumatic
lathes, drills, slotters, shears, punches,
etc.
The apparatus will be capable of TAX
ing off the smaller guns on battleships
and armored cruisers and Of making
minor repairs to the superstructure
and interior Of great ships. There Is
nothing pertaining to the smaller craft
except hole below the water line that
the little navy yard cannot attend to.
The roof will be fitted with a number
Of big skylights, which can be removed
at will and through which ordnance
and parts Of ships can be lowered to
the shops.
The floating yard will not be self
propelling, but will have to be lowed.
This is one Of it's great advantages,
since to construct a self propelling
craft would cost at least five times as
much as one that is to be towed, and
it would require about three times as
long to build it, Again, the propelling
machinery would take up a great deal
of room.
The craft Is practically nonsinkable
and can be towed anywhere and for
any distance by any steam going YES
sci. Should this one prove a success
larger ones will be built.-New York
Times.

POPE Plus is SEVENTY.
Has Changed Mode of Living But Lit
tie Since His Confrmat

ROME, June 2.-His Holiness Pope
been born in the village of Riese, in
the diocese of Theirso, on the End of
June, 1885.
Since his accession to the throne
of st. Peter he has changed little,
those close to him say, though natur-
ally it has been necessary for him to
make some change in his habits and
mode of living in order to conform to
the restrictions imposed upon him by
mis- high office
Stories to the effect that His Holi-
ness fails to realize the dignity Of his
high Office are wholly without founda-
tion,. His brothers and sisters, nieces
and nephews, when calling on him
have never overstepped the mark Of
decorum, although the contrary has
been stated. Three maiden sisters,
Anne, Maria and Rosa, who lived with
their brother, then Bishop Sarto, in
Venice, have since been living in Rome
occupying little apartment in the
Corso Vittoria Emanuele.
Now that the hot weather has set in
they will be sent by the pope to pass
the summer in Castel Gondo1fo, which,
unlike the Vatican, is an actual tenn
palace there has immense grounds and
commands both the Mediterranean and
journey by rail from Rome.

LOCOMOTIVE TENDER.
Patents ON Improved Design Granted
to Cornelius Vanderbilt.

to Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Letters Of patent have been granted
to Cornelius Vanderbilt for an improv-
ed locomotive tender. The young mil
lionaire invented a locomotive fire box
several years ago. Since that time he
has been at work trying to devise a
plan for a simple and economical wa
ter tank. He believes he has accom-
plished this in his latest invention.
The object of his invention is to pro-
vide a water tank with low water
intake and large capacity, to shorten
the length Of the tank without increas-
ing it's height and to improve the con-
struction Of the fuel hood. The tank
is elliptical, the shape being chosen be-
cause such a tank has a larger capaci-
ty than a circular one of equal height
and because its center Of gravity is
lower than that Of a circular tank of
equal capacity.
To prevent the water from rushing
from one end to the other on stopping
and starting a series of battle plates
are provided. The lower plates are pro-
vided with openings for the passage
Of water. The tank is braced inside
with angle iron stiffening members
riveted to the shell.-New York Her

French maker and delivered for $4,000
to Count A. a. de Carvailio MonteirO
Of Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro. 1t took
seven years Of one mans time to con-
struct it. But it tells everything which
has anything to do with time 1t will
tell the days and the month for 400
years, the years for a century, when
1t was last wound, the mean solar time
and the equation of time. 1t will show
the temperature, the altitude, the hours
Of sunset and sunrise, the correspond
ing time at 12S different points on the
globe and the ornaments Of Paris, Lis

at any moment, 1t will indicate the
time by striking the minutes and hours
on chimes, and, besides other things. it
has q mariners compass.
