NAvY's BIGGEST DRY DOCK
New Structure at Boston Yard Nearly
Ready for Use.

The new stone dry dock at the navy yard,
which, it is asserted, Is the largest stone
dry dock in the world, after a great many
delays is nearing completion and will soon
be ready for use. 1t will take in the largest
warship ever built and have room to spare.
The big caisson was fitted into the out
board end on Wednesday night, and on
Thursday the dock was pumped out for
test. During Thursday night some water
leaked in around one end of the caisson,
but this is to be remedied by refltting the
gasket.
1t will be recalled that the battleships
Illinois and Iowa were ordered here in June
to be locked, the contractors had pro-
missed that the dock would be ready by
July !, but when that date came 1t was
found that the pump plant could not be
ready in time.
The dry dock was authorized by Congress
on May 4, 1885, and the contract was signed
on April 20, 1899, with the guarantee that
the dock should be completed within a time
limit of thirty-two months. at a cost of
1888, 400 for the dry dock proper and $4,000
for the pumping plant and other machine
ry. Under the contract it should have been
completed by December 20, 1901, but owing
to various delays and accidents, the chief
accident being the bursting of the Golfer
dam, the contractors were unable to fulfill
their contract. On August %, 1902 the
suretieS ratified an agreement with the
government to furnish the funds and COM
plete the work within L specified time, but
this also has failed.
The dock is built of New Hampshire gra-
mite. and It's principal dimensions are:
Length on the floor $50 feet; length to
outer gate sill. 100 feet; depth from floor
to high-water mark. 80 feet 2 inches; width
from coping TO coping Id feet. The pump
ing plant comprises two 4S.4-inch centri-
fugal pumps, with a capacity of 65, 600 gal
Ions minute, each driven by 800 horse
power electric motor.

Photographing the Catch.
be Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American
This Is about the season when the indus
trious citizen who keeps at 1t through the
summer, taking only day off now and
then, turns up some morning at the office
with a rich, ripe tomato countenance,
reaching from Just north of his eyebrows
down to the very edge of his collarband.
Well, what luck? How many? How big
were they? asks the other fellow, who
knows from the infallible sign of the to-
mato complexion that there Is a fish story
pending. which cannot be suppressed even
If the whole office force should sign res
olution of protest. When the story comes
it is a thriller-so thrilling that doubts
naturally arise. Did you count them? Did
you measure 1t? Did you weigh him? Did
you catch them all yourself? And so, sea-
son after season, this season just the same
as other seasons. the fish story is accepted
with doubts, misgivings-a suspicion that
is by no means carefully concealed, that the
piscatorial returns have been tempered
with. To brand any narrative as "a fish
story" is to discredit it thoroughly and COM
pletely.
Many ingenious methods have been en-
ployed to circumvent the doubters and to
clear the stored achievements of fisher
men from disparaging queries and ungra-
cious innuendoes. In recent years the
camera has come into general use as the
fisherman's friend-his eye witness-his in
corruptible truth-teller that reveals the
facts just they were. On the desk in the
office the photograph shows up To the
right In the picture stands the angler with
his rod and reel; everybody recognizes him.
1t is a good likeness. To the left, strung
out so that each shows up in detail, are the
twenty-seven big ones. In the background
there is glimpse of a boat and some
water. The picture ought to be convincing
to anybody, to everybody. but somehow It
is never accepted as unimpeachable evil
dence. The camera, It Is well known, can
be made to prevaricate in several different
ways. The suspicious queries are not put
to rest; on the contrary they become more
varied and more searching Is it a trick
photograph? Did you have the photographs
of one fish pasted in a row twenty-seven
times and then the effect copied? Did you
buy the photograph and then paste in your
own picture and have the fixture rephoto-
graphed?
Ingenious as 1t is, photographfng the catch
has failed to carry conviction to a cynical
and unbelieving world. The fish story has
not been suppressed-it will never be sup
pressed-but 1T just stays fish story. And
it is best so; If there were no imagination
In fish story 1t would be fiat indeed.

Money Made in Franchise Deals Not

Franklin W. Parker. In the World Today.
In the operation Of a city government
graft appears in four great forms; Police

lice department from lawbreakers and
criminals; payroll graft; contract graft, or
the Illegal profit on public contracts. and
franchise graft Police. payroll and con-

Of small, cheap, mean men, Those who en-
gage in such undertakings are for the most
part Of the viler sort. They do not make
influential friends What they are doing is
plain stealing and it is SO regarded by
everybody. They cannot become men of
real standing in the community. They
steadily and naturally sink into social In

"Geei Look at the jayi' said a bright
looking girl-evidently a cashier in lunch

store-to her companion as young man
sauntered slowly past them.
The woman who sat beside her in Lafay-
cite Square for few minutes rest looked
at the Jay" although she had not been
invited specially to do so. She saw a good
looking young fellow, with shaver face,
bright blue eyes and closely cropped curly
hair, surmounted by Panama hat The
brim of the Panama was turned up straight
from the forehead in front and turned down
behind on the neck-reminding one of a fire.

had been informed by her New York
nephew that this was the --latest kick in
the fashion of wearing Panamas, she
instantly concluded that the girl was not
up to the style and didn't know jay when
she saw one. The woman was so attracted
by the young mans bright, laughing eye,
and curly hair that she had looked no fur

eyes would have found nothing amisS. But
the woman, like Lord Liverpool has "a
talent for silence" when confronted by prob

hdent as to her premises and her companion
so acqulescent, as she chewed her gum and
threw in her own small quota of slang, that
the woman listened to the droppngs of VS.

If not why he was jay, at least why the
girls thought so.
