WARSHIPS CLASSIFIED A large part of the burden of equipping the United States navy for the war with Spain fell upon the construction bureau of the navy, and in his annual report Com- modore Hichborn, the chief constructor, furnishes many interesting details as to the extent of this work, involving the trans- formation of more than 100 merchant craft into effective naval vessels at short notice. At Minor Naval Stations. Looking to the future, the chief construc- tor invites attention to the importance of properly equipping and maintaining the plants at the minor naval stations along the coast already established, and he sub- mits proper estimates for that purpose, averaging about $25.0@ in each case. He says that had the consequences of the re- cent naval engagements in the West In- dies been nearly so serious as there was reason to experi they might be, the south- em stations would have been necessary for repuirs to ships too badly injured to be sent to northern yards. To keep the nu- cleus of a force of mechanics at thes aA- tions, small work should be constantly un- der way and proper eens should be erected to keep sufficient tities of ma- terial 01 hand. It is suggested that while the new dock at Algiers, Louisiana,is build- ing a suitable repair plant and storehouses be erected. Vessels Accepted From Builders.

Allusion is made to the steady decrease in the number of apprentices in the seve’ ‘navy yards, which the chief constructor thinks is a matter of regret. He says that the apprentices make the best workmen.and therefore he urges that the system be put on a new basis; that boys be carefully se- lected for apprenticeship, ph ly exam- ined and then carried throu; he proper courses of construction at the navy yards.

Hank Carruthers of Block Island an old-time fisnerman, last year caught a young swordfish, not more than two feet long, which had refused to leave the dead body of its mother, which he had harpoon- ed after an exciting fight. The young fish survived the transportation to a tidal pond | behind the Carruthers homestead and the entrance to the pond was closed with a net , at, for the holding of a charitable lottery. | to prevent his escape.
