the more remote towns of Connect

joicing in the possession of highboy
for which she paid only 50. She has
since had an offer of $3.50 for it.
While autoing not far from Ridge

farmhouse for some water. and casual
" inquired if the family had any an
tiQue furniture TO sell. The family
looked at her. not seeming TO under

"Old mahogany furniture-bave you

uteS, but pumped out in less than this
period, the exact time being one hour
ana TWO minutes. Considering the size
of the Colorado and the magnitude of
the work involved, the time required
was remarkably short, rs only two
hours and sixteen minutes elapsed
from the time the ship was landed on
the blocks until the keel was raised
completely out of water.
The decision of the board of super
viSin% engineers was that the dock
is of sufficient strength and capacity
to dock II ship Of 10000 tons diSplace-
mcnt.
The arrangements for towing this
great structure are Of no little interest.
ON account of the length Of the voyage
ana the weight and dimensions of the
dock. While the framework. plating
and machinery contained represent Il
weight of nearly 900 tons, its height
above the water, its unwieldy proper
tionS. aS well rs draft, make it far
more difficult To tow in scaway than
an ordinary craft. The towing fleet
selected TO take the drydock to Manila
is composed of three United States
Golfers. The largest of these is the
Glacier. q ship of 1000 tons iisplace-
mcut and having engines of 5000 horse

by the Caesar, of 5OlG tons diSplace-

power. and the BrutuS, of 5000 tons
