A frame of fine wire was suspended in strong solution of alum which cooled and hardened in crysJ tals.;-a1so feathery. grasses were crystal fzed in the same way and put in vases.

BY SECRETARY DENBY
Tells House Committee of Need Of
Maintaining Full Crews on
Eighteen Battleships.

To maintain a feet of eighteen bat
tleships. as agreed on by the arms
conference. the United States must
provide eighteen complete battleship
crews. Secretary DENLY told the
House naval committee yesterday in
supporting his original request for
10000 enlisted men.
Mr.. Denby insisted that the Ques-
tion for Congress to decide was
whether it would appropriate suffi-
cient funds to keep the treaty Navy
at Its maximum stage of efficiency.
II We are to have Navy of a
fundamental unit" he said, 'ft Is
necessary to have men trained and
ready to operate 1t. You cannot get
trained men overnight. 1t is idle to
claim an eighteen battleship navy II
three battleships should be constantly
out of commission"
Questions by members indicated
that in seeking to cut down the
enlisted personnel they had in mind
the proposal of shifting whole crews,
especially from sister ships, SO as to
have a certain number laid up. Ma.
val experts and Representative Pad
gett. Tennessee. the ranking demo-
cratic member insisted, however,
that this would be highly impracti-
cable.
Chairman Butler. who has made 1t
plain all along that he was deter
mined to hold down the appropria-
tion for next year. insisted that q
great deal Of money could be saved
by keeping only seventy-six destroy
ers and putting all the others out OF
commission
