Quincy Mass, Aug. 31.-The rap
idly increasing and powerful navy of
the United States was increased by
another great fighting machine today
when the splendid battle ship Yer
mont took her baptismal dip at the
plant OF the ROre River Ship Build
ing o.ks. Miss Jennie Bell, daugn-
ter of the governor of the state from
which the mammoth vessel takes its
name, broke bottle OF champagne
on the ships bow, and said:
81 christen thee Vermont"
1t was a fete day at Quincy, as all
such occasions are, and when the
gates OF the big yard were thrown
open to the public, an immense crowd
surged in to witness the baptism of
the latest addition to the nations
fleet. Long before the time appoint
ed for the launching the visitors
crowded the yards, the adjoining
housetops and the shore line. Even
after the christening had taken place,
they were loath to depart, many re-
naming for hours to watch the giant
hull Is it floated at anchor in the
placid waters. Grouped along the
waters edge and dotting the river for
a mile around, were craft of every
description, from tiny naphtha
launches to large steamboats,.
On the christening stand was a dis
tinguished party, the conspicuous fig
ures of which were Governor Bell of
Vermont and his staff. Governor
Douglas of Massachusetts, and emf
nent representatives from the Char
lesion navy yard and the navy de.
n T n n of
also a large delegation from Vermont,
in recognition of the honor accorded
their state. The ship building COM
pany and the municipal government
were represented by prominent par
ties.
Promptly at the hour set, the last
shores were knocked from the ways,
and the colossal vessel began her brief
journey to the water. Swinging aloft
the wine bottle, which was wrapped |
in the stars and stripes, Miss Bell
crashed il against the steel bow and
spoke the christening words in firm
tones that were heard by all around |
her. Then as the marine monster 1
glided gracefully down the creased Z
cradle, the enthusiasm found vent. /
The crowds in the yard roared and .
screamed, the party on the christen. (
ing stand waved hats and cheered, and .
whistles on shore and on F.
water were let loose.
Meanwhile, the Vermont had taken .
her maiden dip into the stream, /
where her anchors were dropped and /
She came TO a halt, Another of the
flag defenders had been sue
7esstully launched.

brought to bear upon our government,

PROF. DARWIN ON
WORLD EVOLUTION
His Theory Moon May Be
A Thousand Million
Years Old.
SUMS HEAT MADE BY RADIUM

Johaf sburg, South Africa, Aug
31.-Prof. George Howard Darwin
second son of the late Prof. Darwin
and professor of astronomy and ex.
perimental philosophy at Cambridge,
England, addressed the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence EfAthe meeting just held here, on
the s'tDJect, Celestial Evolution"
Tie professor divided the orbits of
celestial bodies into stable and un-
stable, the occupants OF Unstable or.
bits ultimately perishing, while those
with stable places ana times of revo-
luton escaped destruction as illus
trations of the survival of the fttest.
He referred to the conflict between
physics and geology as to the age of
the world, the latter contending that
from 500 to 900 million years must
have elapsed since the separation of
the moon from the earth, while phys
les, basing its calculations upon heat
radiation from the sun, felt compelled
to limit the history of the solar sys-
tenn to a period of some twenty mil
lion years. He had always believed
in the longer period of development,
and now the discovery OF radium had
relieved the strained relations of the
two sciences. Radium is, perhaps,
millions of times more powerful than
dynamite. One ounce of it is estti-
mated to contain enough power to
raise 10000 tons of water to the
height of mile, or twenty-five ounces
would contain sufficient power TO
tow a ship of twelve thousand tons
distance of six thousand sea miles at
the rate of Is knots an hour. His CON
tentions was that the sun is radio-ac-
tive, and hence of any age geology
may find II necessary to give to that
His discussion of the evolution of
the stellar universe was equally or
iginal and interesting.

eIrthday Of Queen WlIheImlna.

The Hague. Aug. 31.-A holiday was
kept through the Netherlands today
in celebration of the twenty-ffth
birthday of Queen Wilhelmina, who
was born gust 81, 1880. During
the day the IOung queen received nu-
merous congratulations and presents
from the various courts of Europe, as
well as from all the chief cities of
her o7n canntFr
Queen Wilhehnina spends moss of
her time nowadays in more or less
strict seclusion at Het Loo. Although
little more than a girl in years, she
has lost all trace of her old gladsome-
ness and all trace of her old vigor.
Those intimately acquainted with her
say she seems to look at life now from
the standpoint of a middle-aged wom-
an, one who is more prone to fear
than to hope. The loss of her child,
was for her, as for all of Holland a
terrible blow, and moreover, despite
the periodical denials issued for pur-
poses of state, 1t Is well known that
her married life is anything but a
happy one.

WHY, FOR so LONG, NOTHING
WAS DONE BY ARMIES

the Russian nor Japanese mission has
received any information regarding
the almistice. The conclusion of a
formal armistice, is, however, not so
important or urgent as to create any
alarm, if one or two days elapse be-
fore it is proclaimed. AS a matter
of fact, the tacit understanding ex-
listed ever since both countries ac-
cepted President Roosevelt's invita-
tion to send plenipotentiaries to
Portsmouth, that there should be no
general engagement until the result
OF the meeting was known. Both
Oyama and Linevitch were ordered
