FOR GREATER DISPLACEMENT.
Congress to Be Urged to Construct
Larger Battleships.

Warrington, d. o., February 26 -
Ia the disoussin by the naval experts
roucerning the designs of the battle
sidps for several battleships to be au-
tborized at the.present session of Con-
Gross there is already observed a
difference of opinion concerning the
Jisnlacement The General Board is
In favor aud has urgently recommend
ed a displacement of $4,000 tons, as
compared with the Is. 600 ton displace-
ment plan. which is considered infer.
i0r 10 battleships of more recent de-
sign now under construction by Great
Britain. France and Russia.
II is believed, however, that the
600 tons additional displacement
recommended by the General Board
!, not sufficient, at least, such an opin-
ion Is expressed by certain naval off
GERS. including Rear Admiral Capps,
the chief constructor of the navy. 1t
is uoipted out that il the displace.
ment Of the new battleship is to be
increased it might rs we'll be made
"a. 900 tons. IL is considered that the
600 tons extra will not give the
benefits OF speed aud increased battery
which will compensate for the extra
cost Of tine enlargement
Il is evident that the discussion of
this point will be most interesting
aui that out of the agitation will de.
velop a battleship in this country
which will surpass in size, speed, pro-
toCtion and armament anything of the
same class designed or building
abroad Each year these advances in
battlesbip designs have been consider
ed as marking the end of their deveI-
opmeut. but each year some new fea.
turc has been adopted so that it is con.
sidered the development of the battle,
ship has by no means terminated. Thu
matter is still under consideration b.
the naval authorities and it is expect
cd that even after a definite decision
has been reached, the fight over the
tonnage may he carried right into
Congress.

BEAUTY OF JAPAN'S WOODS
Many Varieties and All of Excellent Quality-Oak Trees in the North
 Grow to Large Size.

Japanese woods are as beauti- ful as Japanese lacquers. The oak trees of northern Japan grow to a large size, but on ac count of the nature of the ground it is difficult to get out large pieces. The usual sizes are from 12 to 5 inches square, and from s to 30 feet long, and the timber is of excellent quality. The next wood in importance is ash, of which there are about 12 varieties, two of which specially are sought for at the present time, one a beautiful curly ash, and another with a wavy grain. Both are used by Japanese car riage builders for panels. There are some ten varieties of maple {; one is a beautiful birds eye, an other has a fowery grain. The sen is used for making furniture, for which it is we'll adapted, since it gives a good polish, does not warp, and is quite hard and lasts well. This wood and the ash come in logs up to AS inches square.

Ozone a New Air Product.

Oxone is not ozone. It is a new product of an electro-chem- ical company of New York, and is specially prepared fused form of sodium peroxide having the peculiar property of emitting free oxygen when it comes in contact with carbon dioxide charged with moisture. It is a bluish gray color, and is cast in small blocks which are packed in airtight cans, and in this form is easily transported. l is believed that by the use of ozone the air in submarine boats may be kept fresh for many hou $ at time.

PRINCESS WAS A TOMBOY.
Consort of King Alfonso ot Spain Re membered as a High-Spirited
 Almost Hoydenish Girl.

Those who had the privilege of personal acquaintance with the former Princess Ena few years ago and remember what high spirited, almost hoydenish little girl she was, writes core spondent, cannot help wondering how the new queen of Spain will like the extreme ceremony of her new country, says NJ. A. ?. Be ing constantly with her brothers during play hours, the young princess took part in most of their recreations. Whenever the duke of COnnaught's family were near Princess Patricia usually joined her Battenberg cousins, and many good rOmp the young people indulged in. After Prin- cess Ena was promoted to wear her fair hair in a 'pigtail' her younger brothers used to tease her dreadfully, watching their opportunity to pull the long, thick plait, and then assuming an innocent air when the royal victim turned round to discover the offending one. She once, in deed, administered a well-de served punishment to a youthful prince whose energy consider ably outran his discretion.

CASE ENDED SUDDENLY.
Because Novelli Was Called to New
 York on Other Business.


 The case against Annelli Novelli for violating the liquor laws came to a sudden termination in the district court to-day The case was continued from last week, and the mans coun- sel, Attorney Guilfoile, was chagrined when his client did not show up to- day. It seems that Novilli is the embodiment of old country indiffer ence. If thing happens and 1t cant be helped he simply lets 1t go at that and is thankful it was not worse.
 His son arrived from the old country Sunday and was detained at Ellis Island by the immigration com missioners. A dispatch took Novelli down to ascertain what the trouble was with his son and that was the last seen of him hereabouts. He was told to be on hand Tuesday morning so that the case against him could go on for if he was not present his bond, $200 would be called. Let them call if am not there.' he is reported to have said, and his bond was called.
 It is probable however, that it will not be collected for a few days in order to give him time to show up. ora his friends to locate him. If h., appears before the end of the week the case will in all probability be re- opened.
 Novelli runs a boarding house iG the old Earle hotel, but while tha: may be he will have to account for the presence of large quantity or liouor and beer on his premises.

GOOD WORK OF POLICE.
Kept Crowd Moving and Every One
 in Good Humor To-day.

AA 0VV0 AA0ASVA 4VsUUv.
 The police officers did good work in handling the crowds that scrambled for seats on the cars to-day. but even at that their efforts didn't amount to much and nobody that stood at dis tance and watched the swaying throng of men, women and children could help being convinced that the time has come when steps should be taken to have the trolley company load and unload its passengers at some other place or do something which will give more room at that point, even though a slice of the green should have to be appropriated for that purpose. Between trolley cars, teams of every description, au- tomobiles and several thousand peo- pie, ell packed into a small space, ,-ings were anything but pleasant in the center during the rush for cars to the circus and baseball grounds and if nobody was hurt it was due more to good luck than anything else. Waterbury can't stand that sort of thing much longer. The trolley com pany should have a track on the north side of the green and on such occasions as this take up its passen- gers there and let them off at some other more convenient spot than right in the heart of the center which is none too large for general use when there is nothing unusual going on. There were great many cars out this afternoon and vet the num- Der was far short of what was need ed and as a consequence hundreds had to stand around for hours.
