feared the moccasin would be found

NAVY'S BIG COALING PLANT
Plans Prepared For S2,0OO,000 Station
Al Puget Sound Yard

The Puget Sound navy yard at
Bremerton, Wash, will become one
of the chief coaling station for the
Pacific feet if present plans of the
Navy Department are carried out.
The civil engineer force in the yard
began preliminary surveys Saturday
for a 200, 600 ton coaling plant Such
a plant will cost close to 81, 900, 000
The present coaling pier of the yard
has a capacity of $4,000 tons under
over. with room for IS, 600 tons more
on adjacent grounds.
In the contemplated bunker pro-
vison is to be made for the storing of
a reserve supply of coal submerged in
salt water Tests recently conduct
ed by the Navy Department have
proved that coal keeps better under
such conditions.

Reason for eaaax Trousers.

The American sailors trousers are
made on the baggy pattern for rea-
sons of convenience and cleanliness.
They are, in fact. marine institu-
ton. A pair of trousers cut ON any
other lines could have no place on a
warship. The ditty bag in which Jack
carries his worldly possessions would
have no room for any other brand.
Ask any sailorman you chance to
meet and he will tell you that the
wide-legged trousers stand not only
for convenience and cleanliness, but
comfort as we'll. They are cut exact
ly the same width from the knee
down as they are from the knee up.
the simple reason being that when
Jack is detailed to swab the decks of
his ship he wants to shed his foot
gear and turn up his trousers to the
knee. The wide leg is turned up
evenly to the hip. and when turned
down again the cloth will not be
wrinkled or put out of shape, as
would be the case if the trousers
were cut narrow at the bottom

REASONING POWER OF SPIDER
Been Proved by Patient Scien-
tific Research.

The instinct of the spider is always
an interesting subject for study. Re
Gently a naturalist placed a small spi-
der in the center OF a large spiders
web some four feet above ground.
The large spider soon rushed from its
hiding place under a leaf to attack
the intruder, which ran up one Of the
ascending lines by which the web was
secured to the foliage.
The big insect gained rapidly upon
the little one, but the fugitive was
equal TO the emergency, for when
barely an inch ahead of the other il
cut with one of its rear legs the line
behind itself. thus securing its own
escape. the ferocious pursuer falling
10 the ground.
The naturalist says: 1t is not the
habit Of spiders to cut the slender
thread below them when they are
ascending to avoid some threatened
danger unless there is a hole close at
hand-and a hole that is known 10 be
unoccupied." From this it would
seem that the little creatures action
was the result of some sort of rea-
soning.
The same naturalist says that spi-
ders are cannibals, and they are nat
urally pugnacious But they do not
fight for the satisfaction of eating one
another. when two spiders fight
there is generally very good reason
for the attack and the vigorous de-
Tense that follows.
1T is generally known that after
a certain time spiders become incap-
able of spinning a web from lack OF
material. The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited, therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed. But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scrupTe. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and its last web destroyed,
II sets out in search of another home.
and unless it should chance to find
one that is tenantless a battle usual
ly ensues, which ends only with the
retreat or death of the invader or de-
fender"

Under the Surface.

aw.y down deep in many men, which
only rarely is apparent on the surface.

magnate. with his hard face that was
like an iron mask to his competitors,
could be shaken like flag in the wind

has not some hidden spring which,
when touched, can shatter in an eye
twinkling the proud edifice of our
laborious pretense Of cold indifference
that we show to the world most of the
time.

Navy Wants MaChiniStS

In order to increase the enlistment
of machinists, the Navy Department
has decided to modify the require
ments for that rank of the service.
The regulations requiring knowledge
of marine engines and boilers are
waved for the time, and machinists
we'll versed in other branches of the
trae will be enlisted. This is done
because excellent mechanics from
inland towns have not been able to
pass the navy examinations, although
it is thought that after a short SER
vice they will become competent in
marine steam engineering.

"Boohine" at the Moon.

The comparative proximity of Mars
this month recalls Oliver Wendell
Holmes story of attracting the atten-
ton of the moon. 1t was nothing less
than that every one on earth should
exclaim "Booh," at one and the same
time. thus creating a great Boob,
which should penetrate some 23S,00O
miles of space. For some years no
one on earth talked of anything but
the terrific noise that was TO be made
when they all said "Booh!" but when
the time came every one was so intent
upon hearing the noise that only a
deaf man in Fiji and a woman in
Pekin thought TO say it.
