HUGE ANCHORS.

Several anchors have recently beer
made at the navy yard at Charlestown,
Mass.s which are the largest ever made
for any purpose. Four anchors are used
on battleships generally, and the new
anchors are being shipped in sets to the
Pacific Coast One pair of this set of
four weigh 1900 pounds each. The
largest anchors ever forged prior to
those now being used weighed 16,500
pounds each and cost $4,000 each. They
were also made at the Charlestown
yard Each of the big anchors re-
quired the work of five men for a
month, hammeying, smelling and weld
ing it, These mammoth anchors are
sufficient, barring unusual conditions o.
weather and sea, to hold the largest
battleship afoat. The size is fifteen
feet long from crown to shackle, and
about nine and one-half feet from one
arm point to the other. The heavy
crossbar is also about fifteen feet long
while the palms, of. broad, fat pieces,
welded to the'arm ends, are about thir-
ty-two inches wide.

Mr.. Taft s successor, General Luke
Z. Wright, told at dinner IN Wash
1ngton, war story from Manila.
There was once upon time,'' he
began, "a gallant old general This
general, leading a splendid charge in his
youth, got bullet in his chest and two
saber cuts across the head In after
life, relating over the nuts and wine
his many battles, it was this particular
charge that he always described most
famboyantly.
"The older the general grew, the
more splendid the charge became; the
more awful was the slaughter that he
visited upon the enemy; the more hor-
rible were the wounds that he received.
For confederation he would always
turn to grizzled veteran on his left,
his aidede-camp. The aide-de- camp
would nod his gray head in acquiescence
silently.
Tailed and taller grew the general g
stories of the charge. Higher and high
er grew the mound of enemies slain by
his sword. More and more numerous
became the bullets, thrusts and slashes
sustained by himself At the end he al
ways appealed to the grizzled aide, and
in silence the aide nodded confrma-
ton.
fThe general one night gave large
dinner party. The wine was no less
abundant than superb, and at dessert
the old warrior let himself out upon the
charge as he had never heretofore DONE
Four horses were killed under him.
Three lances passed through his right
arm, FIVE through the left. Nine sabers
crashed down upon his head simultane-
ously. The bodies of his slain formed
a wall well-nigh impossible about him.
And it seemed that there was hardly
muscle in his person wherein a bullet
failed to imbed itself
90 You remember all this, don It you,
DeCoureey2' ne said in conclusion, as
was his custom, to the grizzled aide.
'The silent and long-suffering aide
at last spoke up.
No, general he shouted, in
loud, indignant voice. NO, of course I
don t remember it. How can you ex-
pect me to? You know as well as I do
that the cannon ball that killed your
fourth horse struck the breastplate of
cuirassier behind us, and then bounded
back and took my head off! !"
