ADMIRAL RAGS REPORT.
Active Year in Naval Bureau Q
Steam Engineering.


Rear Admiral Rae, chief Of the naval
bureau Of steam engineering. has re-
ported to the Secretary of the Navy that
the past year has been an active one for
that bureau. In addition to work in
connection with the repair of vessels in
commission and fitting out, and the con-
struction of new machinery building in
navy yards and by contract, the work
Of the bureau has been principally in pre-
pairing plans and specifications for the
machinery for new battleships and other
vessels.
The work of designing new machinery
for the 2s-foot. 33-foot and 4O-foot steam
cutters has been in progress, and the
drawings will be completed within
short time. The adoption by the de-
partment, of these as the standard cut
tiers for the navy, with increased horse
power in each case, has necessitated re-
designing the entire machinery: it Is ex-
pected, however, that much improved and
more efficient installations will be the
result.
The work on the three scout cruisers
now, building. two fitted with steam tur-
bines and one with reciprocating engines,
is progressing favorably, and, Rear Ad-
miral Rae says it is hoped that in it's
next annual report, as a result of the
competitive trials of these three vessels.
the bureau may be able to make definite
| recommendations on the use of turbines
| for naval vessels.
The bureau considers that the success
| of the designs made is largely due to the
| rigid inspection and to the enforcement
| of the requirements of the plans and
| specifications The examination of the
working drawings of the machinery OF
vessels under construction and undergo
| ing repairs. Admiral Rae says, entails a
vast amount Of work upon the limited
force allowed.

: According to the annual report Of Rear
Admiral Cowles, chief of the naval bu-
reau Of equipment. much necessary work
has been delayed, az owing to the insult
fciency Of funds it was necessary toward
the end Of the fiscal year to. materially
reduce the working force in the manu-
featuring plants. resulting In the loss OF.
by furlough or discharge. artisans skilled
in the particular and peculiar work of the
navtl service. He says that the condi-
tons under which the bureau iabors in
obtaining coal of proper quality become
more difficult and trying each year. due
in part to the increased demand for coal
Of high quality, the lack Of adequate
TRANSFORMATION facilities. and shortage OF
labor In the mining regions. In order to
be assured of obtaining suitable coal for
use of the naval service, he says. the
department must be in a position to store
such coal when it may be obtained. and
not have to depend on the current supply
at any period.

Pleasing Incident in Connection
With Exhibition Of His Paint
= ings Sketch of His Career. =.

In the Hemicycle Hall of the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art an exhibition of paintings
and sketches by Max Weyl, the we'll
known local painter, opened today with a
private view and reception. This ex-
hibition is held in a measure in recogni-
ton of the SEVENTEEN anniversary of the
artists birth, and for this and other
reasons is an event of uncommon interest:
Mr.. Weyl has not only attained but
conferred distinction. Self laughter
rather learning of nature-he has won.
through inherent ability and tireless la
Dor, substantial recognition, here and in
the larger art centers of this land Be-
ginning late, and with comparatively lit
tie aid, he has fought his way into the
front ranks Of American landscape paint
tiers. And his work, moreover, has been
chiefly done in our midst-the pictures
which have brought him. into premfnencs
have been prescriptions of local scenes.
In every walk of life there are to be
found men who enter in conventional
manner at the front gate and are content
TO follow beaten trails, and others who
scramble over the wall midway and COM
pletely disregard tradition. Mr.. Weyi
Is one of the latter. He was thirty years
old when he first took up painting, and
then 1t, was with little thought of serious
outcome. The story is worth reeounting.

as a tradesman. 1t had been his desire
to, learn to model. and his father had
made an effort to place him with an art
caster-one who made architectural orr
naments and images for the. church. This
man. however. had all the assistants he
wanted. and therefore the little lad, who
had found delight in whiting clothes
pins and carving toy animals. was set to
mending watches instead of producing
sculpture. 1t was disappointment. but
he applied himself diligently to his task
and before year had passed he attained
reasonable facility.

America, and though his term Of appren-

OUTDOOR GARDENS IN WINTER

er.
A little ingenuity In the selection and
grouping of plants, shrubbery, trees
and vines will go further toward pro
ducing permanent beauty than any
amount Of cost and skill In the pur-
chase and the care of the home beauti-
sers. An evergreen tree, one of the
beautiful conifers, a dwarf cedar or
tall pine or hemlock, will prove far
more beautiful than the deciduous
shade trees for certain positions In the
home grounds; and there will be but
little difference In the original cost. An
evergreen magnolia as an ornamental
plant In small city yard will cost no
more than a magnolia that sheds Its
leaves each autumn, and while the lat
ter will present only bare, struggling
branches through the winter, the for
mer Will hold up In stately magnifi-
cence It's thick glossy evergreen leaves
resembling huge leaves of the indoor
rubber tree-and give the little out
door garen dan effect OF almost tropical
greenery through the season Of ice and
snow.

tic summer house, suitable for little
yards of city homes, or sheltered cor

able qualities when formed of irregu-
lar cedar branches In rustic design
and ornamented with variegated euony-
nous vines trained up the posts and
about the seats. The variety known
as anonymous radicans varlegata Is q
delicate looking beauty, but of exceed
ingly sturdy growth and perfectly
hardy. The masses of small green and
white leaves remain ON the outdoor
vines all winter; and the same desira-
BILE characteristics are displayed In the
anonymous shrubs which will form
well-rounded decorative bushes, as
beautiful in winter as in summer.

NORTH COUNTRY INDIANS.



One Of the most distinctive features
Of the Hudson Bay Company, says the
author of THE North Country" Is its
cultivation Of the Spartan virtue Of
truth upon the part Of its employees In
dealing with the Indians. No misrep-
resentation is permitted for the pur-
pose Of effectlng sales In that service,
or for any other purpose, and any In
fraction of the rule Is promptly met
with summary dismissal.
This mQney-making corporation thor
oughly believes, and its long experience
fully demonstrates, that the Indian of
the north woods Is not only Industrious,
but honest as we'll
Upon this theory an Indian comes
into trading-post in August or Sep
TENDER without cent. He has no furs
to sell, but he has many needs to sup
ply. He requires -four tea, sugar, ba-
con, new gun, powder, shot and bull
lets, traps, and many other things to
maintain him eight months during the
winter. He has no money, but he has
honesty and industry and skill; and
for the company's trader this Is suffl-
cient
He Is furnished with ali he desires,
and the company extends him credit
ON Its books for supplies aggregatlng
from two hundred to five hundred dol
lars, and the Indian, with loaded ca
noe, departs into the forest to his hunt
fairgrounds three hundred or FIVE hum
dred miles distant.
The trader loses no Sleep for he
knows that when June has thawed out
the ice of the lakes and streams the
canoes will return, bearing their valua-
bic furs, and he will lie busy balancing
accounts with his former debtors, who
have returned to discharge their debts
and to receive credit for the additional
furs they have brought to the trader.
Last summer a pOst-trader was asked
about the frequency of bad accounts.
He replied that he had never had q
bad account; that 1t sometimes hap
pened that the Indian was unable to
make full payment, but In such cases
the payment was simply postponed I'M
til he had a more successful hunt
The only event which prevents the
indian from paying Is his death, and
In that case the company cancels the
debt
