The Cayite floating drydock, marvel of
the marine world completed at the works
of the Maryland Steel Company, at Spar
rows PoinE, was launched with appropriate
exercises yesterday.
The dock is the greatest in all the world
not in size, which does not count when
applied to drydocks, but the largest in ca
pacity With flush decks and no water in
the compartments. she will accommodate
vessel of "a, Al tons, although there are
no warships of that enormous tonnage In
the United States navy. With her decks
flush and one foot of contained water she
will accommodate ~ j47 tons, and with two
feet freeboard and one foot of water she
will hold q vessel of 1S TAT tons. The con-
tract called for the accommodation Of only
5000 tons.
The monster will be launched the first
week in June, and will be ready for her
test the latter part of that month She
will be lowed from Sparrows Point to Solo,
mons Island. at the mouth of the Patux-
ent river, where the test will be made. First
a merchant ship will be locked, and then
the largest and heaviest warship in the
United States navy will be lifted from the
water. The test will consume about two
months, after which the machine will sail
for Cavite.
During the test a board of naval officers
will convene and after witnessing the test
Will decide whether or not she has come
up 10 the terms of the contract. The board
probably will consist of a captain of the
lines two line engineer officers, two officers
of the construction corps and two OF the
civil engineer corps Of the navy
The designer is Mr.. Gerhard Styrlander
chief craftsman Of the Maryland Steel Com
pany. He won In competition with six or
seven sets of plans submitted by other con-
Germs to the bureau of yards and docks
of the Navy Department. in whose field the
building of the dock comes. Mr. Styrlander
is responsible, from the builders side, for
every bit of material that goes into or has
gone into the construction of the dock.
Mr. Leonard NJ. Cox of the civil engineer

The harp seals have been placed here in

from the coast OF Maine. They are little
more than two months old, but they are
bigger than the harbor seals. being each
now about three feet In length. The harp
seal grows to be about six feet long
The harp seal is found on both sides of
the north Atlantic, around from this con-
tinent to that OF Europe ana well UP into
the Arctic ocean. 1t is sought by the seal
ers for it's oil and for it's hide which is
made into leather

acquiring the thorough knowledge of a
trade, Up to recent times the skilled work.
ers employed in American Industrial estab-
lshments have been drawn, as a rule, from
two sources-the small shop and the i'm
migration from Europe. But the small
shop is now rapidly disappearing while the
character of our immigration is quite as
rapidly changing so that skilled workers
can no longer be supplied in such numbers
from England Germany and Sweden.
The writer mentioned sees no other RENEE
dy for the situation which Is to occur in
America except in training schools main
tanned by the states. 1t Is going to come
to pass that not only will scholastic educa-
ton as at present be furnished to each in-
dividual at the public cost. but there will
be public schools for the training. so that
skilled workers can no longer be by one all
private duties will be shifted from the In
dividuais to the public. and such a system
once started may go on indefinitely. Tho
present trend Of political and social evolu-
ton is peculiar In the extreme.

THE SMITH FAMILY

Sitting ~ the reading room at the Library
of Congress, with directories, histories and
other books around him was a stately gen.
tleman who gave a reporter for The Star
his card which read: John Smith, New
York"
Suppose you are familiar with the
name" he said 1T Is a family name. In
America 1t Is spelled Smith; in England
some spell it Smyth; in France II is Smyte;
In Germany Schmidt: In Russia Smitta; in
Denmark Sined; in Iceland Smidhr; in
Japan Smitaza; in China Smit Hee. 1t Is
as old as the world. and when Adam. the
first man, chose a second name for his chill
dren's sake, 1t Is stated that he selected the
patronymic of Smith, There were two
Smiths aboard the ark-ii blacksmith of the
sons of Ham. and Smithy, the forger. who
was a first cousin to the Anvils and the
Bellows family. In America one Of the
Smiths made chestnut tree famous. 1t
was a spreading chestnut tree, and the
Smith was so well known that everybody
in the town called him the village Smithy,
and he did one-day stands beneath the tree
1.-The name Is infectious. 1t spreads. The
Century dictionary tells how the Scots
spelled 1t Snit and used 1t as a synonym
for infection. In early England the Smiths
were catching. They prevailed all trades
and professions. In addition to blacksmiths
there were whitesmiths and goldsmiths and
silversmiths and coppersmiths. They were
handy men, for thel name came to mean
artifieer and especially worker with the
hammer and In metal, and then as one who
made or effected anything. Finally Sir
Walter Raleigh spoke Of smithcraft. which
showed how crafty the Smiths were. even
in Queen Elizabeth's time. They broke up
into small families. and from this breaking
up the Smiths tell that the English Ian
guage got the word srnithereens. meaning
fragments or broken pieces. They point
also, in addition to Adam Smith of Eden,
there was second Adam Smith who lived
in Scotland about 17gO and was the greatest
economist of his day.
These and many more facts OF fictions
the Smiths have put into pickle for poster
ity. 1t has been known for some years
that the Smiths have organized down
around New York and New Jersey. Once q
year they hold q Smitiiereena, which Is a
collecting of all the family fragments OF
Smith In one grand picnic In the historic
glades of Peapack, near Hackensack, in
New Jersey; Big Smiths and little Smiths
flock to the Smithereena.
THE Smiths are spreading again. Their
organization Is becoming national They
have started a paper called the Smith out
in Detroit. Now they offer a cash prize
for the picture and biography Of the oldest
living Smith. The Smiths of Washington
have been asked to join In the hunt for
the oldest living Smith High honors are to
come to him.
