Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-When the naval in
spection board arrived at Rockland,
Me-, to conduct the official trial of
the big battleship Arkansas, they
found that when passing through Two
Bush channel entrance to Penobscot
bay the Arkansas had touched the
bottom. Capt. Fletcher, president of
the trial board, reported to the navy
department that the ship struck rocks
about one-quarter Of the way back
from the bow on the left hand side
just under the turn of the bilge close
to the keel. She bounced along on
this reef for a distance Of "A feet
most of the way just below the for
ward boiler rooms. At that point, the
ships structure is divided into great
number of small compartments, which
extend only half way across the bot
tom Of the ship, and which are sup
posed to be filled with oil in some
cases and in other with spare fresh
water for the boilers.
The value Of the naval subdivision
of the hull into a large number Of
small compartments rs believed to
have been demonstrated by the acct
dent, for the blow to the Arkansas is
thought to have been just such a
clip as the heel of the iceberg inflict-
ed upon the bottom of the Inflated
Titanic.
At the point where the Titanic was
struck there were no inner compart-
ments, not even coal bunkers, but
only the thin skin Of the ship. Naval
constructors said that had the Arkan-
sas not been subdivided doubtless she
would have gone to the bottom also,
The Arkansas was able to go out again
TO finish her trial with these eight
compartments probably full Of water,
leaving the damage to be repaired
later, unless It is discovered that the
ships lines have been so distorted
as to reduce her speed below the point
Of acceptance.
The Arkansas has not been turned
over to the government Therefore,
the company will make good the dam.
age and the repairs probably will re-
quire a month.

Dayton, O.-As a climax to a grim
battle against hopeless odds, Wilbur
Wright, Dayton's noted birdman. died
of typhoid fever. Death came after
the distinguished patient had fingered
for days and nights in the throes Of
burning fever
Taken i'll with typhoid fever several
weeks ago, Wright had been lingering
on the border for days, and though his
condition from time to time gave some
hopes to members Of his family, the
attending physicians maintained

toy The curious little instrument,
when wound up, flew about the room
over the heads Of the delighted young

Quarreling for possession Of the toy
they played with II together and set

task Of first initiating then improving
upon the toy. As they grew up their
interest in aviation was manifested IN
the building Of kites, and finally In
1896 they took up In earnest the study
OF actual flight
They were In the bicycle business
in Dayton. o. II was with the profits
OF this business that they betrayed
their expenses OF experimenting, In
1901, they operated their first gliding
motorless biplane, Exhaustive study
OF air pressure the following winter
was followed by more experiments IN

New York.-It cost more to live IN
the month of June, 1912, than ever
before in the history of the United
States, except perhaps during war
times. Prices we're higher year ago,
but now they are on the average, near
ly 10 per cent higher yet, according
to trade authority.
Food products are the highest on
record. Meat, eggs, butter, fish, cof-
fee, tea, sugar, salt, molasses, rice
beans and peas average % per cent
higher; wheat, corn, oats, barley,
flour, etc, 80 per cent higher.
Fruits are the only things good to
eat that have grown cheaper in the last
IL months, but they are higher still
than in 1910. Leather products cost
10 per cent and chemicals and drugs
10 per cent more than year ago.
Textile goods, however, are a trlfie
cheaper.
The average increase in food Is
nearly 20 per cent higher, which
means that the housewife must pay Sc
to fill a market basket that only cost
her IS to fill in June, 1911. In other
words, 81 will buy only five-siXths as
much as it did year ago.
The biggest advances have been in
meat products, beef 26 per cent; hog
products, 40 per cent, and mutton over
so per cent. Dealers lay the increase
of last years poor hay crop and the
general high cost of animal provender.
Poor crops also are held responsible
