WHERE THE FLEET CAN DOCK.

United States Has Only Two Big
Drydocks ON the Pacific Coast.
1t needs only glance at the govern
ment drydock facilities on the Pacific
coast to convince one of their utter
inadequacy to the demands which will
be made by our navy during the COM
ing two Or three years. says Casters
Magazine
The United States government pos
sesses upon the entire Pacific coast only
two completed drydocks one at the
Mare Island navy yard, in San Fran
cisco bay, and one at Bremerton, Wash,
on Puget Sound.
The dock at Mare Island is 513 feet
long over all, so feet Z inches wide at
it's entrance and 81 feet inches deep
over the sill. 1t is available only for
the accommodation of the smaller ships
The drydock at BremertOn is more
commodious, being $50 feet long over
all, 90 feet 8 inches wide at the en-
trance and 80 feet deep over sill. This
will permit the entrance Of the larger
battleships but it is distant from the
main naval base.
At Mare Island the government has
under construction a third Pacific coast
drydock, but it is estimated that it will
take three years of hard work to finish
it.
This dock was begun in 1900 and the
contract called for it's completion Nov.

delayed matters and the dock will hard
ly be available for use during the pres
ent visit of the feet.
Outside of the government docks on
the Pacific there is just one private
plant on that coast which has facilities
for handling the big battleship. This is
situated at Hunters Point, on the west
side of San Francisco bay, about five
miles south of the city, and is owned
by the San Francisco Drydock Com
pany. 1t has only one drydock capable
of admitting the large battleships, be-
ing $50 feet long, 100 feet wide and 80
feet 5 inches deep.
There are thus only two docks on the
entire Pacific coast Of the United States
capable of handling the larger of the
navy's battleships, and one of these is
a private one and will need to be leased
by the year by the government in order
that it may be at the navy's disposal
at any and all times.
Some time before the announcement
of the proposed mobilization of the
fleet on the Pacific was made the San
Francisco Drydock Company had per-
fected plans for the construction of
drydock which when completed will be
UNIQUE in this class of marine engineer
ing in that it will be the largest dry
dock in the world.
At the present time the largest dry
dock in the world is at Belfast, Ire
land: but the proposed San Francisco
drydock will materially exceed it in
dimensions. In exact figures the new
dock will be 1850 feet long, IA feet
wide and 81 feet 6 inches deep.

Diplomacy, in spite of the frankness
which is supposed to characterize it in
modern days, still has its amusing
episodes. When Italy desired to open
postoffices in five Turkish cities, the
Porte not only refused permission, but
said that the opening would be pre-
vented by force if necessary When
italian battleships appeared the re-
quest was granted, mot as a right,
specially acquired" the Turkish am
bassador took pains to remark, but as
an expression of the mistaken senti-
ments of sincere friendship" between
the Sultan and the King of Italy
Signor Tittoni on behalf of Italy, re-
marked, somewhat dryly, that the
friendly sentiments of the Sultan were
fully reciprocated.

quick methods which bring results
that are most satisfactory. We slap
the cheeks vigorously. three or four
spats with the palm OF the hand. and
the cheeks will glow for a long time

Food has a great deal 70 do with
red cheeks Foods that are highly
spiced and stimulating will make a
woman pale. Foods that manufacture
blood will make a woman red in the
face. but she must be careful not to
partake too freely OF them.
