gave an entertainment in the Methodist

dered, after which the society served ice
cream and cake. Particularly interest
ing were TIE different experiences of the

earned dollar for the Ladies Aid. An

a little dirt on tray, which represented
our native land The system of num-
bering the different specimens of art was
unique in itself, in that our native land

AMERICAN NAVY EQUALS THE WORLD
That Is, Ship For Shp Says Sir William WhiteStands Nex
to British, Whole--Answers Magazine Writers--
Thick Waterline Armor Belt "Fetich," He Asserts
Reasons For the Broken Ammunition Hoist.

Boston, Mass.--"You have a feet
hat, ship for ship, comparing the
ships designed at given date--and
that is the only fair compartments
equal to anything the world contains.
And next to the British navy, l think
your navy is the best in the world"
This opinion was voiced by Sir
William Henry White, X. c. B., for
mer Director of Naval CONSTRUCTION
to the British Admiralty, in the
course of an extended interview. TAX
ing up magazine criticisms of the
American navy, Sir William took is
sue with nearly every point raised by
the writer's, declaring they ARE all
wrong as to facts"
The thick waterline armor belt,
upon which the best known critic
says the life of the ship depends, he
characterized as "fetich" which was
abandoned by the British Admiralty
many years ago. and mistakenly re-
verted in the Dreadnought class in
making redistribution of weight
rendered necessary by the great num-
ber of twelve-inch guns.
AS to the Dreadnought,. which was
used as a basis of comparison, Sir
William pointed out that her thick
armor belt is from foot to eighteen
inches below the surface of the

water when she is fully laden, while
the armor belt of ships of the Con-
necticut class, under the same condi-
tions, is from six to nine inches above
water.
So far as the Dreadnought and the
Connecticut are concerned, he said,
the Connecticut is better protected
above the water line, inasmuch as
when fully laden her sides are pro-
tected by armor that extends sixteen
feet above the water. while under the
same conditions "the English ships
defense on the sides is restricted to
armor that rises only from four to
four and half feet above water"
Sir William denied that there is
any danger involved in the direct
hoist, which the writer's say is re-
sponsible for the accidents which
have occurred on American ships. He
said he himself was the inventor of
the broken hoist" so called, and 1t
was brought out by him to save time
and not to minimize danger.
The accidents on the American bat
tleships he attributed to inexper-
fenced men and the policy of placing
premium upon the greatest number
of shots and the greatest number of
hits in a given time in target prac-
tice

Height OF Great Men.

The Duke of Wellington has al
ways been a mystery. | have read
that he was six feet four inches tall.
| have read also that he was only
five feet six inches. Historians tell
us he was anywhere from five feet
six inches to five feet eleven inches.
There are some things, seemingly
very simple which it is impossible to
establish; this is one of them. His
torians are still guessing the height
OF Julius Caesar, the size of Hanni-
balls head, the weight of Alexander
the Great, and the general dimen-
sions of Solomon. Why, we are not
even sure of the stature of George
Washington. 1t might be believed
that Napoleon, Alexander the Great
and Jay Gould were of the same size,
three bumptious little chaps. And
1t is common belief that Charlie

HOW TO TEST LINSEsO OIL.

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad In
it's way as adulterations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing a drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
