table. "If we are going to authorize ships we ought to provide the means for building them"
 Chief Constructor Taylor said that there were three ships in navy yards which were about completed and ready for launching--the Nevada, the Oklahoma, andthe Pennsylvania. The first two had their trials, and the Pennsylvania would have her trial i'll February. The new oreadnought Idaho could be launched in the Spring.
 Among the unfinished ships ac- cording to Constructor Taylor, are seventeen destroyers, thirty-eight submarines, two fuel ships, one sup ply ship and one transport, At the New York ..,- ways are to be con- structed, but these cannot be ready for some time The ways at the Mare Island var. now contain fuel ship, but will De free within few months. Ways WI. be available at the League Island Yard within year.
 Chief Constructor Taylor agreed to furnish to the committee later a statement showing when all of the ships previously authorized may be completed. He said he had made an estimate showing that if all Govern mont and private yards were driven to their full capacity they could car ry on the constructor of twenty-two naval vessels at one time. To accom- plish this work, however, there must be improved ways and building ap- paratus.
 Members of the .>-,>.. Committee seemed concerned over the situation as portrayed by the Chief Construc- tor, who admitted that the rush of work in private yards may be deter rent in the rapid construction of na- val vessels which may be authorized as we'll as those previously author ized.
 Snall navy men in the House are preparing to use as an argument against the defense program that vessels authorized several years ago are not yet completed and that the Navy Department does not appear to be expediting construction despite the claims that there is urgent need of preparedness.

PLAN FOR ALASKAN
 WATERS SURVEY
Patterson SOutbsof Wrangell, Taku in Drince William Sound, Explorer
 to Cover Dall Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1.-- E. Lester Jones, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey has announced the plans for ocean surveys in North Pacific waters during the coming sea- son. The Patterson and Explorer,
 witE the small steamboat Taku, are all the vessels available owing to the fact that the McArthur and the Ged
 ney were sold recently because they
 were unfit for service and other coast survey vessels were lost several years ago on uncharted reefs in Alaskan
 waters.
 The steamship Surveyor, now be- ing constructed, will not be ready un- til the latter part of this year. The vessels now in service and two wire drag parties will begin the seasons
 work early in April. The Patterson is assigned to the passages leading southward from Wrangell and Sum-
 ner Strait including kashiavorof Pas sage, Rock Bay and tributaries, Zim- oyow Strait, Eastern Passages, Blake Channel and Ernest Sound.
 These waters have never been ac- curateIy surveyed, present charts be- ing based on q reconnaissance made ill 1896. The Explorer will survey the. outer coast of Dall and other isl
 ands northward from Cape Muson. in-
 cluding the important fishing banks in the vicinity of Forester Island and Iunsurveyed dangers between the lat ter island and the coast. The pres
 ent chart is based on sketches and is
 described as a "makeshift."
 The two wiredrag parties which will work in connection with the Pat |terson this season will endeavor to complete the main channel from Clar- ence Strait to Wrangell Inlet, thru Channels from Ernest Sound to Wrangell and the main channel of Summer Strait from Wrangell to Cape Decision, including the broken
 area northward of Coronation Island. The Taku will continue work in the Prince William Sound district. No vessel is available for work on the exposed coasts of California, Ore gon and Washington, nor on the coast |of Aleska west of Cross Sound.

 The marsupials arose fin very ancient geological times somewhere in the me ,sozoic age. and later on nearly disap- peared except i'll Australia and neigh boring islands, where today they con- stit1te the characteristic native fauna
 There is one curious fact about tho kangaroo which appears all the more singular when we reflect upon the great antiquity Of the order of the mar supials. 1t almost looks as If this ex. trabrdinary Australian animal repre- sents survival of a style of animal architecture which was once favorite with nature, but has since been aban iOncd.
 The frames of those creatures are characterized by an enormous develop ment of the posterior parts, including gigantic tails and massive thighs and hind legs. If any of the dinosaurs had , leaping power comparable with that of the kangaroo the terror inspired by their forms must have been matched by that arising from their movements. New York Journal

WASHINGTON: A serious obsta- cle in the way of the preparedness program was revealed to the House Committee on Navel affairs today when Chief Constructor David s. Taylor of the navy informed the com pittee that private ship building yards In the country were rushed with work and government yards bad not the facilities now to under take the construction of new vessels even if the building of vessels should be authorized.

Two of these battleshfps, the Chief Constructor said, had just been begun and one had hardly been started.

 "They have," said the Chief Con- struct0r.

 The jewellers face expressed bewil- derment and astOnishment and amuse- ment. He looked from the artist to me and back again at the artist. He started nt the end of every sentence to say something. but the artist didn't give him a chance. The artist kept on talking, while kept on trying to con- trol my sense of humor. I wanted to shriek. l longed for the ability to write shorthand. so that could put it all down for postcrity.
 The artist had left a watch to be intended. and we were standing in front of the jewellers shop on one of the mar row streets of Douarnenez. town in the extreme west of France. The shut ters were up in front of the shop. and the jeweler was in his shirt sleeves. looking as if he had been walked up by our knock from an enjoyable after dejeuner sleep. The artist and I were leaving by the 3:15 train for Pont Croix. and we didh't intend to come back this way. It was Thursday. but the jeweler had politely explained that he could not give us the watch until to- morrow, although it was all ready and was hanging from its little hook in the shop at whose open door we stood. The reason was that Thursday had been chosen by the jeweler for his repos hebdomadaire-the one day in seven rest imposed by law.-Herbert Adams Gibson 1n Harper's Magazine,

One of the most extraordinary crus- tacea ever discovered was dredged up by the Prince of Monaco from a depth of 16O0O feet. It has been named OplOphorus grimaldi. It Is a sort of shrimp. and it's peculiarity is that it squirts from two holes near it's mouth a liquid which, on coming into contact with salt water, produces a fine pale blue light
 Absolute darkness reigns ill the depths where it lives, but the little shrimp does not find it necessary to keep its light always burning.

York, queen. of Henry VII., spent out, small amount for dress. She was very often in debt, and the sums she spent were ridiculously small, 20 shillings ($5) being the greatest amount expended at any one time. Her gowns were mended and turned, and new
 waists were made for them, as is shown by the record of bills paid to her tailor. These bills prove that she wore her clothes for long time, for her gowns were obliged to be newly hemmed. and also that. though prin- cess of the great house of Plantagenet. she wore shoes costing but A cents. which were decorated with tin buckles

FIGHT is AVERTED
ON HERESY CHARGE

Atlantic City, N. j., May 24.-The
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States Of Ameri-
ca today adopted without debate a
report from the committee on bills
and ovortures warning the New YORK
and all other Presbyterans that the
.enets Of the church must be accepted
by candidates for the ministry before
hey should be ordained.
This action it is believed, ends fur
ther discussion in the present assem-
bly, Of the alleged heresy question in
which the New York Presbytery and
Union Theological seminary are in
volved.
The committee had before it more
than two dozen oyertures from Pres
byteries dealing with the heresy con
troversy. The one which attracted
The most attention and to which seri-
Gus consideration was given by the
committee was that from the Cincinna-

TWO DAMAGE SUITS ..-.-

sion Of the city court two important
cases were tried. Ohio Fruit Land
company sued the Western Union
Telegraph company for damages. The
damages consisted in the destruction
of the plaintiffs packing house and a
large number OF peaches by fire, that
was caused by lightning striking the
defendants wire, it was alleged, and
conveying fire to the packing house.
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $1,145 against the defend
ant. 4 motion for new trial has been
filed.
Another case for damages for per
sonal injuries suit being that of L. H.
Cox VS.. Southern Railway Company

$500. Motions for new trials have

LARGER POSTAL SAVINGS
DEPOSITS NOW ACCEPTED

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an impor-
tant amendment to the Postal Savings
Act Just approved by President Will
son. A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
$1,000 upon which interest will be
Paid. Formerly $500 was the maxi
mum amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very graft
flying to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old $500 linn
it and are anxious to entrust more
of their savings to Uncle Sam
Another feature of the amendment
that will avoid further embarrassment
to the public and to postal official is
the doing away with the limit on the
amount that could be accepted from
depOsitor monthly Under the old
law $1OC could be deposited in calen-
dar month The amendment abolishes
this restriction While the Postal
Savings system has already proved a
signal success as is shown by the fact
that more than half-a-million deposit
tors have over eighty million dollars
standing to their credit.

POLICE FIND LIQUOR
HIDDEN IN CEMETERY

Albany, May 26.-The city cemetery
was the hiding place for a two-hoTse
wagonIoad Of whisky and other in
tcxicants seized by the Albany police
Monday night. They are not giving
out any information as to whom sus
Dicion rests upon, but developments
are expected to follow soon.
The liquor was hidden in a hollow in
new addition to the cemetery, which
has not yet been used for burial pur-
poses. 1t is believed it was placed
there temporarily to await an oppor-
tune time for carting it to a more Sc
Guided cache
An impending raid is given as the
probable cause for hiding it in the ne
cropolis. The liquor included not only
whiskey, but also gin, brandy and even
champagne; in fact, almost every
known kind of intOXicant.
