The detection of escaping gas in his cellar led William C. Morrow of 1909 Vallejo street to start on an exploration yesterday. Going into the cellar he struck a match and started to examine the pipe line. His expedition was more successful than he expected, for the gas found him full in the face with a flash. The discovery was communicated to the Fire Department, which responded in time to save the building from de- struction. Mr. Morrow's face was dressed at a neighboring drug store. ———e———————— Honor Revered Priest. The feast of Pentacost was cele- brated with special solemnity at St. Mary's (Paulist) Church yesterday at the 10 o’clock mass. Principally because it was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first mass of the Rev. M. P. Smith, C. 8. P,, Jate superior of the Paulist Fathers of the Pacific Coast, the celebrant was Father Smith himself, who was as- sisted by the Very Rev.

R G | Plans for two battleships are being | prepared by Philip Watts, Director of Naval Construction in Great Britain. It is not believed that they will be as |large as the latest ships, but that a displacement of 15,000 tons will be found sufficient. Their main batteri will consist of four twelve-inch guns, {pluced in pairs in twelve-inch bar- bettes, and eight 9.2-inch guns. The armor belt is to have a maximum thickness of eight inches, the speed is calculated at mineteen knots and the | full coal supply 2000 tons. | The battleships Triumph and Swift- sure, recently purchased from Chile for the British navy, have had their | trials with satisfactory results. The speeds attained were 20.17 and 20.5 | | ceeded 14,000 and the coal consump- }tiun was only 1.73 pounds per unit of horsepower an hour. In December !last, when the ships went through | their contractors’ trials, the Libertad. now named Triumph, made six runs| over the measured mile at 20.17 knots and averaged 20.12 ots during a continuous run of six hours. Prior to these runs the vessel steamed twenty- seven hours at a speed of 17% knots, | consuming 1.71 pounds of coal per | horsepower an hour. It will be noted that the results of the bullders’ trials | were duplicated during the Govern- ment speed trials, and even exceeded in the Swiftsure, which was built at Barrow, while the Triumph was built at Elswick. 7Th: total coal capacity | of these ships is 2000 tons, sufficient to cross the Atlantic at a speed of | nineteen ‘knots and still have a re- | serve of coal. At ten knots the radius of action is about 12,000 miles. | | BATTLESHIPS FOR AUSTRIA. | The Austrian battleship Erzherzog | Friedrich, laid down at Trieste in Jan- uary, 1902, was launched on April 30 last. She is of the same displacement as the Ore class in the United States nav: rfi? type and size which is favored by ny naval experts in pre- férence to the huge and costly battle- building. The Erzherzog | Friedrich is 390 feet 6 inches in length, | 72 feet 3 inches breadth and displaces | 10,430 tons on a mean draught of 24 feet 6 inches. The armament will consist of four 9.45-inch guns in turrets of 8.27 inches thickness; eight 7.5-inch guns in citadel, four of these firing on line with | keel and broadside; six 5.9-inch guns in single casements of 5.5-inch armor; fourteen twelve pounders, twelve one- pounders, four automatic rifles and two torpedo tubes. The 7.5-inch guns can fire four rounds a minute. The water line and citadel armor is 8.27 inches thick, the belt extending from forward | to after turret. Within this citadel the | protective deck is 1.97 inches and out- | side of the citadel 2.76 inches in thick- ness. The total weight of armor is | 2922 tons, or 28 per cent of the normal displacement. Twin screw engines and Yarrow boilers of 14,000 horsepower are calculated to give a speed of 19 knots. Three ships of this class are under construction, the third not yet launched, and the estimated cost of each is about $4,500,000. A permanent submarine depot is to be established at Portsmouth _dock- vards, the headquarters of the flotilla, but with the increase in numbers some will be stationed at each naval port. Six submarine boats of improved de- sign are to be built at once for the French navy. They are to be of 422 tons displacement, 136 feet in length and 12 feet diameter and propelled by twin screws. The motive power is elec- tric and explosive motor, collectively of 600 horsepower, calculated to give a surface speed of 12 knots. Each boat | will be fitted with six torpedo tubes. RECORD OF A COLLIER. The United States collier Nanshan has made a reéord in putting on board the battleship Kentucky 1480 tons of coal in ten hours by winch work. The best hour's work was 187 tons, and the coal was' taken from the hold. no extra preparations having been made, such as getting a lot on deck in order to make a record. One and a half hours were lost owing to an accident to one of the men working in the main hold. The coaling took place in Hongkong harbor in February last. | The torpedo boat Tingey, the con- tract for the building of which was signed October 1, 1898, has at last been completed and accepted by the Navy Department. The boat was to {have been completed by October, 1899, but the builders failed, and for upward of four years no work was done on the boat. She was 64 per cent completed in October, 1901, and remained at that stage until Decem- ber, 1902, when the bondsmen for the defunct firm concluded to complete the craft. The contract price of $168,000 would barely cover the penalties for non-delivery on time, but it is not probable that the Govern- | ment will depart from its usual prac- ticg of remitting penalties. ’}here are four more torpedo boats contracted for years ago still incom- pleted. The Goldsborough was con- tracted for July 30, 1897, to be com- pleted Jan 0, 1899. After nu- merous breakdowns of the machinery and accidents to the boat, the builders despaired of completing the boat and the Government has had the boat in hand for over two years, making but slight progress. The unfortunate ves- sel has remained stationary at 99 per cent completion since October, 1902.

Now is the merry wedding time. June with its roses, its balmy days and elysian nights, appeals to the lovers as a fit setting for this exquisite romance, for each pair think theirs the rarest sort of a devotional ecstasy. And so be it. The philosophy will come later and if the love survives it all is well. May those of June survive it. Engagements.
