ASKS FOR MORE CLERKS
AUDITOR BROWN WANTS TO
AVOID DELAY IN HIS OFFICE.

w w. Brown, auditor for the Navy Dc
partment, has submitted his annual re-
port to Secretary Shaw. The report shows
an Increase In accounts settled by the or
fee during the year, OF from n to 10 per
cent. with an average increase OF only IL
per cent in the number of clerks employed.
Speaking of the work Of his ONCE, the
auditor says:
THE efficiency of this Office has been ma
terially aided by additions to the force
authorized by the last Congress These
clerks are now well initiated into the de-
tails of the work, and from this on Will
render telling service. Still there Is yet
pressing need for a few more accessions
10 the ranks II we are to keep abreast OF
the constantly growing business OF the ma
val establishment. In spite OF the fine
showing of the past fiscal year, in add
ton to other delayed work the unsettled
claims aggregated S.4o2 accounts on July i,
1895. which is much in excess of safety FOR
the government and the disbursing officers
or justice to individual claims Frequent
and prompt settlements add to the good
reputation of the accounting office To
insure this, means ample and efficient help
TO do all work practically without delay.
There Is no prospect that the work in this
bureau will ever be less, but rather, with
the increase of the navy, must be more
as time advances, SO that all additions to
the force should be made not in detail, but
by permanent appointment, to the end that
the whole personnel may be efficient and
equal to all ordinary demands upon It from
day to day. This need was strongly urged
in my last annual report, and the request
here only seeks to make good the estimates
then made. which the past years experience
has proven to be correct.
II therefore recommend that the clerical
force of this office be increased as follows:
Clerks of class 4. 2: clerks Of class 3, z:
clerks OF class 2. /; assistant messenger, 1;
laborer. /.
II particularly urge appointment OF
clerks In the higher grades. from the
fact that SO much of the work of this
ONCE calls for well-trained talent, and 1t
is often impossible to retain people of this
order unless they can be as adequately
paid here as In like positions elsewhere In
government employ. The call for additional
help in the messenger and labor class is
occasioned by the fact that this Office has
long been limited in this kind Of service,
and work in the file rooms and upon the
fourth floor has greatly increased

SPECULATION ABOUT MOON.
Resemblance Between Lunar Craters
and Those Of Hawaii.

From the New York Tribune.
Prof William H. Pickering. member OF
the Harvard astronomical staff who has
Just returned to this country from Hawaii,
has been impressed by the resemblance
which Mauna Loa and Kilauea bear to GER
tain ring shaped ridges on the moon. He
does not, 1t may be assumed, intend that
his Interpretation OF these lunar markings
shall be regarded as in any sense original.
for the theory that they are the product OF
volcanic activity Is good deal older than
he IL. It has had a formidable rival. to be
sure, in another supposition. If, while the
lunar mass was yet soft, 1t was struck by
solid objects flying through space, they pre-
sumably embedded themselves, and in doing
so formed circular elevations. looking ex-
actly like craters. But that the effect was
produced by forces acting from without
has seemed less credible to astronomers
than that the action came primarily from
within, and this is now the favorite n.y.
pothesis.
For a long time the volcanic theory was
beset with a difficulty which of late has
not seemed to be serious one. The diam
eters of the so-called lunar craters are vast
ly larger than those still observed on the
earth. Some of them are twenty miles OF
more across. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the attraction of gravitation OPP
crates more feebly on the moon than on
the earth Explosions might, therefore.
open much wider apertures In the one case
than In the other and the tendency of the
holes to close might be correspondingly less
conspicuous. The moon contains only one
eightieth as much material as the earth,
and the same ratio ought to exist between
the weight of given object on the surface
of the satellite and that which 1t wou-d
have on the globe.
Referring to the familiar doctrine that
these two bodies were once united, Prof.
Pickering suggests that perhaps the basin

seems doubtful whether any trace of the

Londonderry or DerryP

From the Westminster Gazette.
A movement has been initiated In Ulster,
at the instance Of the Gaelic League, for
changing the name of the old city in the
north of Ireland from Londonderry to Der
ry. The London companies, which possess
considerable estates In the district, will,
however. have something to say to the pro-
posal The Maiden city,. as 1t was
dubbed in 1859. when the Wiiliamites held
1t against James II, had Its origin in an
oak tree wood or forest called in the Gaelic
''doire," or Derry. In the beginning Of the
seventeenth century body OF London col
onists were sent to settle in the district, and

of the new plantation in Ulster" they re-

There Is every reason to expect all these,

Nevertheless there are words of grave
import which also begin with ''p." such
which are liable to attend q period OF pros

before a fall. There is always danger that
the pace may be so rapid as to constitute

We believe that this peace means a

American Women as Teachers.
From the Boston TRANSCRIPT

From the Boston Transcript. &
Four-fifths Of the teachers in the United
States, according TO a recent census bulle-
tin, are women and there are more teach
ers in this country than there are clergy
men, lawyers and physicians together. In
the proportion of women teachers to the
whole number of teachers employed the
United States leads the world, although in
nearly every civilized country the greater
part of the teaching is done by women
This Is in line with the general tendency
toward the advancement of woman to a
better place in this country In 1890 the
this Country was oI4 XII and in i.Ns1 this
number had Increased to 6,329 SO7. How
ever. as the number of men In paying posi-
tions has also increased in the same time. It
must not be accepted as certain that wo-
men are going to crowd men out OF POSI-
