b|G JAPANESE NAVY
Rear Admiral Motoki Tells of Great Progress Made.
Work Donc at Four Ship BulldIno Yards Enables Japan to Attain Position In Front Rank of
 Naval Powers.

London.-The development by the Japanese of their naval resources since the end of the war with Russia is subject about which not much in- formation of an authentic character had been diyulged but a flood of light was shed upon the matter in the pa pers read by delegates from Japan at the International Congress of Naval Architects, just held in London.
 Rear Admiral Motoki Kondo the in spector-general of Japanese naval con- struction. who contributed paper on the progress of his department, dealt first with the four navy yards. two of which. those at Yokosuka and kure, have launched eight armored ships since 1905. IL must be remembered that before that year the largest yes sel built in Japan was four-thousand- ton protected cruiser
 Yokosuka dockyard was started in 1865. and its first dock opened in 1870 Only wooden ships were built until 1885. and from that year until 1905 only gunbOats and small cruisers To- day the yard employs more than eight thousand men and occupies lIG acres. having two large and three small building slips and four gTaying deeks.

night. She exercises systematically that Is, when she is advised to eXer- else to keep in condition she does not go violently pell-mell at 1t. She uses common sense
 Then our leisure class is a leisure class In name only. No women take better care of themselves than Chi eago society women. However. tho appreciation of the luxurious never de velops into mad chase. It h tom pered with right living. Az far as getting old and 'matronly' at thirty five Is considered-well. she just don't
 This New York man says he has counted four stout women to every stout man. Just go out on the street any time and make observation and see how far from fitting the Chicago condition that New York observation comes"
 Miss Anna Snyder, manager of an other shop and an expert filter. laughed when she read the dispatch.
 Isn't that just like man?" she smiled. Why. with modern lacing 1t is beyond any poor man to tell wheth- CT woman is stout or slender Cor setting has become such a science that women strike more symmetrical average
 Another sapient remark by this male person is that the American wom- an cannot wear a hobble skirt be- cause her hips are too broad That New York man certainly should take a trip outside of his city. Why, the hobble was made for the slender lines Of the Chicago feminine figure"
 Well, l just returned from New York" said Mime. Jeanne, at the head Of another establishment, and while the New York woman has made a fae start toward ruining her figure with immoderate eating and drinking, fear she Is not so far past redemption as the New York man would have us think. Perhaps he has preference for the splender type and one or two stout women seen one right after the other sent him of in a panic. At any rate. we need not worry

 Day for Fire Prevention.

Governor Donaghey has fixed Octo- Der as the date for general observ- ance throughout the state, and to be known as fire prevention day. The matter Is the result of a general movement iRaugurated by the state insurance commissioners at their an- nual meeting in Milwaukee recently and was the direct outcome of a com munication sent to the governor by State Auditor lobe, who is ex-officio state insurance commissioner, calling the attention of the governor to the resolution passed by the National As sociation of Insurance Commissioners and endoring the plan as state com missioner of Arkansas.

all of which will take any warship afioat.
 The Kure navy yard was begun only in 1889. but 1t now rivals the Yoko- suka. having two large slips, besides smaller ones for torpedo craft, and two graving docks. with two others under construction. Here guns and gun mountings are manufactured the progress in output having been sufi- cient to supply the armament of al- most all the warships built In late years. Kure also possesses steel and armor plate works. the latter plant having been started in 1902 The ar nor is made by a special process de- vised by Japanese engineers, and has given good results.
 The two other navy yards. the Sasewo and the Maidzuru. are on a smaller scale, being used for repair work and the construction of small craft. In addition. there are now two private shtpyards capable of building armorclads, one at Nagasaki, the other at Kobe. Each has just received an order for q battle cruiser similar to the ship ordered in England last year while fourth vessel of the same type is building at Yokosuka.
 In the course of his paper on naval engineering in Japan, Rear Admiral Terugoro Fnjii stated that these four new battle cruisers fitted with tur- pines would have engines Of 6I.OO0 horsepower. Their displacement is to be 27500 tons, and with their high speed and gun power. when they are completed in 1914 they will make a potent flying squadron in the Pacific. The turbine has been adopted for all ships begun since 1905. some vessels being fitted with the Curtis turbine. and others with that of the Parsons type. The boilers fin use in the Jap aaese navy are of new design. first tried in i cruiser in 1903. These
