BIG GUNS FOR
THE DREADNAUGHT

WASHINGTON. June 2O-The Navy
Department has adopted a 12-inch gun
so calibres in length for use as the
main battery of the proposed 26.000-ton
battleships. This weapon will be
calibres longer than the main battery
guns on the most modern vessels OF
the navy now under construction.
While the tendency i'm foreign navies
is toward larger and more powerful
guns and the British navy is planning
to install on its new battleships a 13.5-
inch gun. the weight of opinion among
American ordnance experts is that the
12-inch gun is a more serviceable
weapon from all points of view than
tho 14-inch gum
Information has been received at the
Navy Department that the Russian
navy is building a twelvc-gun ship
similar to the proposed 26,0o0-ton ves-
sells Of the American navy.

HOW TO COOK SHELL-FISH

oyster Stew.-The oyster. which is
now at its best. is most susceptible to
the effects of unwise treatment at the
hands OF the cook. Some Of the great,
est authorities in oyster cookery even
insist that its delicacy of flavor is im-
paired if it is cooked in any other
LIQUID but its own liquor. According.
~. in making a stew they omit the
milk and use only the oyster liquor
This is brought to a boil, and. when
this point has been reached, a good.
sized piece of butter is added. The
oysters are then introduced, and arc
left to cook just long enough for the
boards to curl, after which the requ.
site amount of pepper and salt is
added.
Milk Stew.-If the milk stew is pre-
ferred, however, here is a recipe for
preparing It that has won both fame
and fortune for one New England
restaurateur: Place a quart Of milk
in a double boiler and season it liber-
ally with salt. paprilSa and celery salt.
With a sharp-pointed vegetable knife
cut off the root end of an onion, and
keep thrusting the knife into the heart
of the onion until about a teaspoonfm
of Juice has dropped into the milk. Add
a piece of good butter about the size
of an egg and a dozen well-crumbled
oyster crackers. At the moment that
the milk shows signs of boiling, add
one quart of freshly opened oysters,
with their liquor, and cook them rapid
ly until the boards begin to curl. Al
this moment. however. remove the boil
er from the water-pan, and stir in tho
beaten yolk of one egg, ana a graf
ing of nutmeg
Hard-Shell Crabs.-The meat Of the
hard-shen crab is deservedly popular.
Put pound Of crab meat in the chat
ing-dish or staw-pan; add a good
sized piece of butter half a pint OF
cream. and salt and pepper to taste.
Extract the seeds from two sweet
green peppers, chop the peppers very
fine. and add them TO the crab meat.
Cook slowly for about ten minutes. and
Just before serving dust the top with
paprilSa and send to the table with
out delay. If desired. thin slices of
crisp. well-buttered toast may he serv-
ed with this dlsh.-The January
