international News Service.
Fighting seacraft representing
an expenditure of nearly $780,
600, 900 will be completed before
the end of the year, the Navy De-
partment announced last night.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
War vessels under construction
include two battleships. the Colo
RADIO and West Virginia; two new
airplane carriers, ten scout cruisers,
four auxiliaries, repair ships and
tenders, a patrol vessel, twenty
coast submarines, and three fleet
submarines.
Under the $3.50 treaty construc-
ton of seven battleships and four
battle cruisers was suspended. That
the condition of these partially nm
ashed vessels is such that work may
be resumed at any time and rushed
to completion in case the treaty
fails of ratification by all powers
was the understanding.
OF particular significance In the
naval construction program IS the
conversion of the battle cruisers
Lexington and Saratoga into air.
plane carriers, this indicating, naval
authorities said, that American
battle fleets of the future viii rely
to high degree upon protection OF
aircraft.
FLOATING AIRDROMES.
The Saratoga and Lexington. un-
der construction at a cost Of close
to $5O.OOO.oO0 will be capable of
maintaining fleets Of seventy-two
airplanes on bard. Twenty-four of
the planes will be bombers of the
most formidable type, while the re-
mainder will be combat ships.
These carriers are $50 feet long,
compared to the SAP feet OF the
Carrier Langley, which was built
as an experiment by the Navy De-
partment. One Of the new carriers
win be capable of furnishing pro-
lection for the entire battle fleet.
The ships in reality will be float
ing airdromes or aviation bases with
enormous decks for taking off and
landing and complete machine
shops. The Lexington and Sara.
toga will have speeds of thirty
three knots an hour.
DirigibIe balloons as airplane car
riers were discussed by naval ex-
perts, but it was believed the idea
could not be developed to prac-
ticabiIity until a higher degree Of
perfection for that type of airship
has been reached. Balloons will.
however, be in the equipment Of
the carriers. s
COST $S6, OOO, 900 EACH.
Elaborate ceremonies will mark
the commissioning of the battleship
Colorado about August l., and the
West Virginia month later. These
vessels will cost about $36,OOO,OOO
each.
Other craft expected to be- ready
for service this year includes ten
scout cruisers, costing about $12,-
600 900 each; four auxiliaries; one
patrol vessel; twenty eight coast sub
marines, costing $2,000,000 each, and
three sea-going submarines at about
$500 900.

FISH THAT CAN CLIMB TREES
More Than Its Share of Physical
Requirements.

The goby is fish that lives mainly
In warm countries. 1t often crawls
out of the water in large numbers, and
skips and plays on shore like a lively
kitten. In the countries where these
wonderful fish are found the shores in
many places are covered with low
mangroye trees, and up these the goby
climbs in search of food.
These fish have developed out Of
their fore fins what look like arms.
with hands with webbed fingers which
help them to get over the ground. and
out of their hind fms kind Of sucker
or sucking disk, by means of which
they can cling closely to the bark of a
tree
The goby Is sometimes called
'mudsklpper," because 1t goes skip
ping along over the wet sands and
mud, even skipping with great speed
over the surface Of the water says
one writer. 1T chases its insect prey
among rocks, leaves and weeds and
out of the water is as agile as a
lizard"
The eyes are raised on stalks so
that the creature can look In all d.
rections without turning the head.
Coolies have been timed to stay from
three to six hours out of water.

IDEA PROVIDES NEW THRILL
Scenic Railway Two Miles High Under

Think of swooping through the air,
from Alpine crag to crag, on real
scenic railway over two miles high
This queerest Of engineering projects,
stranger than. anything that has been
attempted before, not only has proved
feasible but part Of the line Is now In
operation. 1t was under construction
when the war broke out, but the sus-
pended work has recommended, and,
according to press dispatches, the line
soon will be open to tourists.
This unique railway, technically
known as teleferique, will run from

France up the Aiguille du Midi, 12,6B
feet high, one Of the Jagged, precip-
itous needles In the Mont Blanc range.
Tourists, In 80 minutes, will be trans
ported from summer heat to the Arctic
zone Of Mont Blanc, swooping safely
through the air while avalanches OF
snow and Ice crash harmlessly by, hum
dreds Of feet beneath the suspended
cars.
The idea behind this novel engineer
ing feat Is to transport tourists sky
ward to the land Of eternal snow and
Ice Hundreds of thousands of tour
lists have seen Mont Blanc from below,
but by means of this teleferique line
many win be transported safely and
comfortably to spot where only the
hardest Of alpinists have ever ven
tured, and where visitors wishing to
escape the heat of summer may indulge
in all kinds of winter sports, -Scien-

original ripper objects to rips

The tipping system might be said
to hail from England. at least 1t has
been allowed to flourish there for a
great many years, but the English
men are now crlticizing the American
tourists for their generosity In the
matters of tips. Recently several
publications have had articles on this
subject. A correspondent of one pa
per says it Is almost impossible for
other tourists to get any attention
whatever when there are American
tourists to be served at the baggage
