New Naval Station

/" lHE safe arrival of the drydock Dewey
| at the Philippines calls attention to
PNNMFSNI very important naval station which
~ will soon be established at Olongapo
on the Subig Bay. The drydock will
comprise an important feature of the whole, but
Will not at all overshadow in Importance the
other works which are under way and contem-
plated. The total cost of the improvements be-
ing made by the government will approximate
ten million dollars and about one-third of this
amount will be devoted alone to the establish
ment of a coaling system, which is one of the
largest and most complete in the world. In
deed, the mechanical equipment is of the lat
est design, it is question whether it will not
be superior to anything else of this character in
existence.
The coal plant will comprise six units, each
consisting of wharf and the necessary storage
buildings all built of concrete and steel. No
wood whatever will be used in the construction,
for the reason that nearly all lumber is very
short-lived in these islands. The white ants
cutting into it above ground and the teredo
boring through the interior below the water
line require that wood should be constantly re-
newed. Therefore the structure will be of the
most substantial character. The foundations
will be immense pillars of cement and metal
sunk far down into the earth Some of these
piers, where the greatest strength will be re-
quired, are nearly five feet in diameter and ex-
tend nearly forty feet below the water level
The wharves will be $50 by 80 feet, and will
be able to accommodate the largest battleships
The deck of each wharf will be from "a to AZ
inches in thickness.
The mechanical equipment is of such char
acter that the flow of coal may be directed alb
solutely either from the collier to the storage
bins or from the latter to the vessel, without
manual labor. The capacity of the machinery

ut has been suggested quite seriously" states
a Parisian correspondent, "that women over 80
should be called Madame whether they arc
married or single. This is in strict accordance
with the French idea that all women ought to be
married long before they reach the age of 80.
ut is not at all likely that any real change
will take place with regard to the mode of ad-
dressing the softer sex, but the discussion in the
newspapers has opened up some interesting and
amusing points. One writer-a famous journal
list and an equally famous wit-points out that
serious difficulties would surround the years. not
to mention months, which go Immediately before
and Immediately after the fatal 30 One could
not very we'll say, Mademoiselle-I think?' or
Madame afraid?' Politeness would de-
mand universal Mademoisele,' for who would
dare to take for granted that any woman, mar
red or single, had reached the settled down
age?
Putting aside this rather absurd discussion
IL is interesting" adds the correspondent, "to
study the Madame or Mademoisele' question in
ordinary life; all young French women over the
age of IL like to be addressed as Madame and
a great many French women of uncertain age

variably deny this last, but in great many of
the smaller shops-bread shops, milk shops, and
so on-a married woman sufficiently well on in
years will often find herself addressed as

while loading a vessel is 400 tons per hour. In
removing coal from the hold Of collier, the
capacity is cut down by half. This is explained
in the necessity of taking the fuel from the col
lier by means of cam-shell buckets, while in
loading the operation is continuous the coal
falling into the hold of the vessel by gravity.
Each one of the coal pockets contains ther-
mostat device which give the alarm in the Of
fee in the event of fire starting among the
fuel This is an important matter, as it is well
known that coal stored for any length of time
is especially liable to spontaneous combustion
and will burn long time and make great head
way before being discovered. This new appa-
ratus gives the alarm in the office of the plant
and locates the particular pocket in which the
fire is burning In such contingency, the
means are provided for flooding the pocket with
water.
The work on this coal handling plant was
commenced some time ago and it is expected that
it will be available for regular service by the
beginning of next year.
The erection of eighteen large buildings for
various purposes is contemplated at this station
and when these are finished this establishment
will be ready to perform any character of work
which such stations are called upon to look
after. Every comfort has been provided for the
officers and men stationed here; there will be
club houses and recreation grounds with faci
ties for all kinds Of games and athletic sports.

Without speaking, the guide obeyed. 1t was

by the campfire, eating their supper. The dog
still lay by his master, from whom even hunger
could not tempt him.

10y Four men stood upon q rude raft,
and with roughly-made oars and long
fir poles we're trying to guide it out of the cur
rent Of the swollen Clearwater River into a
small sheltered inlet.
Both shores of the river rose abruptly to steep
and terrible mountains. Not far above was the
snow,line
The mems faces were white and hasgard, their
eyes anxious, half desperate. Huddled upon
stretcher at one end Of the raft was young
man, little more than boy whose pallid, emac-
lated face was turned a little to one side His
eyes closed; the long black lashes lay like
heavy shadows upon his cheeks. The weak No
vember sunshine, struggling over the fierce
mountains shone through his thin nostrls, turn
ing them pink. and giving an unearthly look to
the face. A collie crouched close beside him.
shivering with fear, yet ever and anon licking
the cold hand lying outside the gray blanket;
occasionally he lifted his head and uttered a
long mournful howl. Each time the four men
shuddered and exchanged looks of despair-so
humanity appealing was it, and deeply did it
voice the terrible dread in their own hearts.
II was now two months since they had left
Seattle on a hunting expedition in the Bitter
Root Mountains, in Idaho. For six weeks they
had been lost in those awful snow Businesses.
Their hunting dogs had been killed by wild
beasts Their twelve pack-ponies had been left
to starve to death when, finding further progress
on land impossible account of the snow,
they constructed raft and started on their
perilous journey down the Clearwater.
The cook had been sick almost the entire
time, and their progress had been necessarily
slow and discouragng. They had now reached
point where the river was so full of bouders
and so swift that they could proceed no farther
on the raft.
For several days the cook had been uncon-
scous, lying in speechless stupor; but when
they had with much danger and excitement,
landed and made him comfortable in protected
nook he suddenly spokefaintly, but distinctly.

"Hardly-but," Mrs Mockaby began. Cuthbert
