New Names for Old Ships.
rom the Boston Transcript.


Ships have identities. Their names may
carry with them associations that make
them attractive to sailors and keep their
crews contented and full of zeal. The old
Constitution in her day had little difficulty
in maintaining her crew list at it's maxi
mum. She was regarded as fortunate
ship even before she made her famous
record in the war of 1912, and under the
old system of recruiting would-be seamen
would give her preference Other YES
sells in later times have been prime favor
ties with the men of the forecastle.
Names of ships should not be changed
without mature consideration and only for
good reasons. The cruiser Pennsylvania,
which is to have new ameand transfer
her present one to the fifteen million-dol-
lar battleship, has not achieved any re-
markable distinction in the ten years of
her existence, unless 1t be as the floating
platform for some interesting aeroplane
experiments. But, all the same. the con-
tinuity of her history will be broken by
the change. The present Saratoga, for
merly the New York, had exploits to her
credit in the Spanish war which were not
transferred to her under her present APP
pellauon. For one man who recalls that
the Saratoga was once the New York.
ten remember that the New York was
SIMPSONS flagship at Santiago. The in
spring motive of the changes to
which we have referred is state pride. A
big state wants only big ship named
after it. The keel of the New York was
laid in 1890, when a cruiser of s, $50 tons
was big enough to talk about. Probably
the city and not the state was honored
when she was christened, for the present
New York is dreadnought of more than
three times the displacement of the
cruiser and of almost double horsepower.
There is some history involved in this
remaining, for it reflects the progress OF
our naval development. When the cruiser
Pennsylvania was launched her displace-
ment, 1860 tons, carried her we'll up into
the first class. 1t was greater by three
thousand tons than that of the battleShip
Massachusetts, laid down ten years be-
fore. So large was the initial group of
our armored cruisers. constructed after
1900, that they were called by foreign
critics tremendous vessels and battle
ships in disguise. Yet not one of them
exceeded II, 800 tons. They would now be
looked upon an intermediate type in
stead of being called the latest idea.
The battleship which Congress has just
authorized will exceed 81 600 tons dis
placement, which is 1900 greater than
that of the dreadnoughts New York and
Texas AS a general proposition, it may
be said that battleships now are of three
fold the displacement common to that
class twenty years ago and have bat
teries of correspOndingly increased power.
The big ship has come to stay and the
bigger ship is in prospect.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The sale of few lots of bonds at the
meeting today of the stock exchange
served to pad out the record of the days
transactions. But outside of the bond list
the trading was slight and but little eff
fort was made to do business.
Ten shares of gas stock were wanted
and a bid was made of SJA The asking
price for such lot as we'll as for a quo
tation lot, was Sc. After the call an at
tempt was made to sell twenty-five shares
of Washington railway preferred stock
1t was to be had at 91k.
Five shares of Graphophone common
stock sold for A. and the bid for more
was advanced half point as compared
with yesterdays figures. The asking
price for the stock was 80. An advance
OF four points was made in the bid for
the preferred stock, which brought it to
Is.
Some of the bank runners were recently
surprised to receive renewed instructions
and caution about their manner of con-
Quoting themselves while on duty, but
the explanation for this solicitude on the
part of bank officials was found to be due
to story which had considerable cir
culation in financial circles before it was
found to be without foundation, to the
effect that one Of the bank runners had
been overpowered and his wallet taken
from him.

Millions From Waste.
From Lpslie's

"A few years ago thousands of factories
and manufacturing plants allowed waste
to accumulate, without making any at
tempt to sell it. They were glad to have
it carted away, and not a few actually
paid to have it disposed of. No atten-
ton was given to utilizing waste then.
That was before the day of mining scrap
hears became popular. 1t was the same
everywhere. In our cities waste paper
and secondhand articles from the street
cleaning departments were burned to get
rid Of them, tin cans and ashes were
dumped at sea, and garbage was buried
or incinerated. The big cotton ginning
plants threw away the cotton seed; cider
factories had no use for the apple pulp
after the juice was expressed; the fruit
canning factories had not learned that
the cores skins and chops of apples and
similar fruit possessed valuable prod
article now used as the foundation of
jellies; the big coal mines did not know
that the giant heaps of culm had any
useful value and the iron and steel
plants grew more worried each year as
the piles of worthless Stag lowered high
er and higher outside of the mills.
The first step in disposing of this &C
emulation of waste was to use IL 1or
the most simple and obvious purposes.
Ashes, Stag, culm and refuse could be
used for filling in low grounds. The
waste of big city like New York is
worth today millions of dollars in the
course of a year, but not many years
years ago it was looked upon simply
as a nuisance to throw away A big iron
and steel factory. which had accumulat-
ed an immense pile Of worthless Stag.
grew handicapped by the amount Of
waste At first they used it for filling
in low places but finally they offered a
bonus to have it carried away. The
accumulation quickly disappeared, and
then an investigation was made. The
contractor who was carting the material
away was building a series of state
roads with it across miles of low meadow
lands. The waste Stag formed fine
foundation for these roads. The super
intendent of the steel plant stopped
the work and offered the Stag for sale
at 90 cents a load. At that price he sold
all he had. and. as the mill turned out
about 10000 carloads of Stag a year,
the neat little saving of $4,000 was made
each year, until the roads We're finished.
Then the demand slackened. and the
Stag began to accumulate again. Near
the mill were hundreds of acres of low
meadow land. The company decided to
purchase this low land for nominal
sum and to fill it in with Stag. They
purchased the land at $50 an acre. filled
it in at a cost for carriage of SO an
acre and sold the land as building lots at
the rate Of nearly $1,000 an acre. Not a
bad method Of distributing waste.

A TEN-ROUND BOUT.
Shorty McCabe Stages a Live One
for Pinckney.

There really was "A New Deal in Tut
field" when Shorty McCabe and Pinckney
got through with pair of Tuttfield mag
mates visiting New York. These were SO
full Of jealousy that, each thinking the
other had gone to Boston. they made
their vacation trips the other way, and
when they happened to meet on Broad
way were of course convinced that the
one was being followed by the other.
Shorty and Pinckney strolled along just
as they were pairing off to have 1t out
in pugilistic style, and hustled them up
into Shorty's studio, where they were
put on for ten-round bout, with all the
professional trimmings.
The mill was Scream-and all to the
ultimate glory of Tuttfield OF course,
there had to be something serious to set
tie, for the sake of Shorty the Peace
Maker. and in devising this Sewell Ford,
the author, has given his imagination
full and most pleasing play. Look for
it tomorrow in our Sunday Magazine

Improving Guildhall.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The guildhall. which 1t is proposed to
improve at a cost Of s13OOOO. is the third
building erected for the use of the CITY
corporation. According to Fabyan, the
present guildhall begun to be builded
new in 1411. by Thomas Knoles, then
Major. and by his brethren the Aldermen:
and the same was made of little cottage
and a large great house, as it now stand
eth. The cost was betrayed by benevo-
lences. fines. fees. and amercements for
ten years" In the great fire the oak
roof was entirely destroyed. and the front
much injured. Wren restored the roof
but it does not do him justice, being, as
his biographer relates, built over in
haste and for immediate use, and evil
IDENTIFY temporary covering" The pres
ent mongrel front was erected by George
Dance. the city architect, in 1888.
