Sunk Twelve Times

LONDON, May 5.-fI. NJ. S. Warrior
holds the remarkable record in the
British navy of having been sunk
twelve times. according to rumors
Needless to say, these rumors have
been all baseless. and the Warrior still
floats and is ready to be sunk some
more.
The rumors concerning the Warrior
are mostly in circulation among the
enemy and principally along tho
Adriatic acaboarh of Austria. They
arose in a curious manner. and had
apparently more basis than most OF the
Gossipins tales dealing with the de-
struction of English battleships.
When tho war broke out the War

action by throwing overheard all
extra fittings. In the course of time
the buoyant pieces drifted ashore at
the various Austrian ports. where they
were seized with joy by the inhab-
itants.

OF what happened at smaller Austrian
places. Tho officers OF the Warrior

Maury for the Hall OF Fame

a MONG the great Americans whose names
"A will be considered at the approac ching
meeting OF electors for inscription on the
bronze panels of New York University's Hall
OF Fame, is that of Matthew Fontaine Maury
If the electors design by their votes to
recognize the most distinguished contribu-
lions TO human knowledge and welfare they
will honor the quality OF their own percep-
ton by inclusion in their selections of this
notable son Of Old Virginia.
He was the father of the science Of meter
ology. Through his diligence and scholarly
attainment, uncharted seas were mapped and
made safe TO the commerce Of the nations
To nautical science his contributions were
many and Of large consequence He de-
serves to be numbered and honored among
the countrys great.
We confess we have not always been i'm
pressed by the deliberations of the electors
for the Hall OF Fame, nor even by some OF
the results OF their balloting Fame after
all, is not among the gifts that they can be-
stow or withhold. Among men Of science at
any rate, Maury's fame already is secure 1t
will be neither added 10 nor subtracted from
by any action the electors can take The
duty they should consider principally is that
they owe to themselves and to the trust they
administer.
