RAILWAY LABoRER's eRUDoE.

The most expensive act of damage
ever committed by railway worker
was that of an Italian navy en-
ployed on the construction of tun-
mel through one of the mountains in
the Black Forest. Having grudge
against his foreman, he succeeded
one night in altering the position of
the stakes which marked the course
of the work. The excavators were
working upon the tunnel in two Sec
tons, one from the north and one
from the south. Owing to the shift
ing of the stakes the sections, in-
stead Of being directed to the same
point, we're found to be 26 feet apart
when the reached the middle of the
mountain. The northern half of the
tunnel had, therefore, to be entirely
reconstructed at a cost of f175,000.

TEARS. OF AMERICAN WOMEN
Their Manner of Weeping Described
by Japanese Novelist Who Lived
Here Seven Years.

A national trait that particularly
impressed itself upon Shogyo Tamu-
70, japanese novelist, who recently
published the results of seven years.
study and observation in the United
States, is the American woman's
manner of shedding tears. When
she weeps, the writer declares, she
first faces the heavens, extends her
arms, covers her eyes with her
hands, and permits the tears to fall
in a stately manner. But what is
dignity in face of the elemental pas
sions? Soon "she carries her grief
to a mantelpiece or tall piece of fur
niture and gives herself up to her
emotions unrestrainedly, all the
while moving her shoulders, but re-
tanning her standing position. While
we marvel at it all, she suddenly
throws her tears to the winds, moves
her hands in fantastic gesture, and
pours out a long string of words. No
japanese man would know what to
do if confronted with the staccato
weeping of the American woman"
One wonders where the writer found
such advantages for a study of
American sensibility until we read
that for many years he earned liv-
ing as butler and yacht boy.

LAUNCHED FROM BROOK &
NAVY YARD TODAY.
WITNESSED BY MANY
Prea.dent Taft, Secretary Won Meyer
and Others at Launching-Govern
ment-Built VessetTerror of the
Sea.

New York Oct. 30.-The sup T.
dreadnaught New York, the worlL =
greatest sea fighter was la.lnched
today at the New York navy pards,
Brooklyn, in the presence of 40 600 per
sons, including President Taft and
Secretary of the Navy Won Meyer.
Elsie Calder, daughter of Repre-
sentative William NJ. Calder of Brook
lyn, christened the ship.
The New York is government built
and has been under construction
since September II, 1911. She slid
from the ways about 40 per cent
completed. 1t is estimated that an
other year and a half will be re-
quired before she is ready for her
trials and can take her place with
the Texas, now under construction
at Newport News, at the head of
the American navy.
From the time the New York's
keel was laid until the great hull
was water borne a trfle more than
thirteen months elapsed This dem
onstrates, according to the navy au-
thorities that the government at its
own snipyards is capable of placing
a dreadnought in commission as rap
idly as any other nation. Had the
demand for the vessel been impera-
tive, it is said at the Brooklyn navy
yard this time might have been
reduced month, probably two
months.
With all stores and ammunition
aboard the New York will have a
total displacement of 2S,567 tons,
which is about 1000 tons more than
the dreaGnought Arkansas, the pride
of the Atlantic fleet at its recent
mobilization in the Hudson river
Her length is 573 feet, anc Ier
breadth 95,25 feet This will permit
her passage through the Panama Ca
nal. She will be equipped with two
vertical triple expansion engines and
with fourteen boilers developing 2S,-
100 horse power With this power it
is estimated, the great ship will
make 81 knots on her speed trials.
