BIGGEST WAR SHIP
KNULAND DECIDES TO
BUILD A MONSTER.
The Dreadnought, to Be Built for
Ilt-iti-di Navy, Will I la re Displace
ment of 18,000 Tons and Will Be
Equipped With 12-Inch Guna
Throwing Three 850-Pound Shells
Every Two Minutes Propelled bjr
Turbine Engines and Designed to
lie the Largest Warship Afloat.
London, July 13. Construction of
the largest and most powerful battle
ship In the world is soon to begin at
the Portsmouth dockyard, t is plan
ned to build the vessel from the laying
of the keel plates to the hoisting of
the pennant In a period of 18 months.
Thirty to 36 months is the average
time at present devoted to the build
ing of battleships of smaller size. This
rapidity Is calculated to result in a
great economy, but, nevertheless, the
cost is estimated at nearly $10,000,000.
So heavily will this vessel be armed
that she w ill be equal to any two bat
tleships now afloat, and her striking
power at such a range as that at
which the engagement opened in the
battle of the Sea of Japan will be ns
great as any three battleships of the
ordinary type. The displacement will
be about IS. 000 tons. The Dread
nought, as this battleship will be call
ed, will mount 12 12-lnch guns of the
latest type, throwing three 850-pound
shells every two minutes. The vessel
will be driven by turbines, and will
be able to steam at upwards of 20
knots an hour. She w ill carry no sec
ondary armament.
The elimination of the six-inch
guns, borne by practically all the bat
tleships of the world hitherto, is one
of the main lessons deduced from' the
long-range actions which have been
fought In the Far East. The essential
feature of a battleship In modern con
ditions. It Is now realized, must be
the ability to deliver stunning blows
at a distance of five or six miles, and
this the Dreadnought, with her dozen
great guns, will be able to do with
terrific effect. No battleship has
hitherto mounted mors than four of
these weapons.
T rntel at China,
Probably the best all round fruit la
Jhlna Is the pomelo. It Is grown In
lie south central and southern prov
inces and Is said to be the original
tltrus fruit. It resembles the grape
fruit of the United States iu size, shape,
:olor and somewhat in flavor, being
weeter than grape fruit, with less of
the bitter quality, with flesh more per
fectly separated In the sections and
capable of being pulled apart and sep
I rated from all surrounding sacs or
aierabraues. The natives cut through
the peel about one-third of the way
from the top, crimping the edge of the
section all the way round the fruit,
then remove the flesh, tear the section
part, replace them in the peel and
erve thus divided and prepared. The
fruit Is attractive, refreshing, whole
some and comparatively cheap. Gen
erally speaking, the pomelo seems to be
a cross between a shaddock and a
good orange, but it Is more hardy than
either. It has better keeping qualities
than the orange.
PECULIAR TRAIT OF MANKIND.
Some Real Giants.
Brewer tells us that "no recorded
height of any giant known has reached
ten feet." If a cubit Is twenty-one
Inches, Goliath of Gath was eleven feet
nine inches in height; if it is eighteen
inches, he was just the size of the
Arabian giant, Gabara, who was nine
feet nine inches. Josephus mentions a
Jew who stood ten feet two. Kluto-
lochus Hex was fifteen feet six Inches
high, five feet through the chest to the
spine and ten feet across the shoul
ders. John Mlddleton was nine feet
three inches. His hand was seventeen
Inches long and eight and a half broad.
Patrick O'Brien was eight feet seven.
Turner, the naturalist, says he saw in
Brazil a giant twelve feet In height
But Og, king of Bnshau, held the rec
ord. According to tradition, he lived
8,000 years and walked beside the Ark
during the flood. One of his bones r
formed a bridge over a river.

Washington, July 13. In order to
test the capacity for work of Italians,
Chinese and Japanese and also the
contract methods of securing and
handling laborers, the Panama canal
commission has decided to Import 2,
000 men of each nationality for a 600

Proposals for furnishing these la-
borers will soon be issued. It Is the, J

Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.
Human nature may be more pro
ductively worked than a gold mine If
you know a right method.
General Manager Chlpman of the
Indianapolis & Eastern Electric rail
way recently utilized his knowled
of human nature in a novel way.
His company had a pari . the soil
of which it wanted to plow up and
pulverize at a small cost, at the same
time attracting some traffic to the
parK. It thvref lie hurled S00 In gnM
coin In various parts of the r'Tk and
threw the place open to any patron of
the street cars that wished to dig.
prescribing only that none but small
hand Implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thronged with amateur
miners and by the time all the coin
was found the entire surface of the
park had been loosened up and reduc
ed to powder to an extent that no
landscape gardener ever saw equaled.
The streit "ar company got Its $501
back In fares and at the same time
got, its park thoroughly plowed for
nothing.
Many will tenderly recall the old
school reader story of the dying
father who called his sons to his bed
side and Informed them that, thouph
the old farm was worn out and had
become unproductive, there was bur
led somewhere upon It a great treas
ure and If they would persistently dig
for It they would surely find rich re
ward. The sons digged and digged
and digged, turning the old farm up
side down and ins'de out. am', though
they found no sign of the gold they
expected, their harvtsts of grain be
came enormous and their reward was
richer than they knew.
Through some peculiarity of our
construction we are willing to work
10 times as hard "to get something
for nothing," as earn it In ordinary
ways. Atlanta Journal.
In the Doldrums.
We may hear it said of one who Is
In low spirits, "he is In the dumps," or
"be is In the doldrums," but many who
use the latter of these phrases have
caught It up without any knowledge of
its real significance. The region of
calms Is a belt which stretches across
the Atlantic and Pacific almost on a
line with the equator. Here meet the
north and south trade winds, and
squalls and heavy rains are frequent,
but the characteristic of this region,
which Is known also as the doldrums,
Is an oppressive calm. The name now
adays loses much of the significance
attached to It by sailors in the past,

The laborers will be furnished by

government will furnish free hospi

attorney general laborers will work
eight hours a day.
This class of laborers going to the
Isthmus will not be entitled to enter
the United States because of an act
of the last congress which made the
Immigration laws of the United States
applicable to persons coming from
the canal zone to the United States.
All legal questions Involved, as well

injustice and hardships to laborers
hired by contractors, are now under
consideration by the legal advisers of
the commission.

Warding Off Old Asje.
A famous French general when ask
ed bow it was that he bad such an erect
carriage replied that it was because he
bent over and touched the floor with
bis fingers thirty times every day. If
he had acquired rigidity of the spina
so that he could not do that be would
have had with It weak abdominal mus
cles, which result in portal congestion.
This portal congestion Interferes with
stomach digestion and with the action
of the liver. The poison destroying
power of the liver Is lessened, auto In
toxication results, and arteriosclerosis
and old age come on at a much earlier
day. But by keeping the spine flexible
and the abdominal muscles strong and
taut the portal circulation Is kept five,
and old age Is held off. Good Health.
Washington Judge Says It Is Legal
All Public Works.
Olympla, July 13. A decision has
been rendered by Judge Neterer of the
Buperlor court of Whatcom county In
which the constitutionality of the law
making eight hours to constitute a
day's work on all public work. Is up
held. The case Is entitled the State
of Washington vs. Charles E. Llnd.
The recent decision of the United
States supreme court in the case of
Llchner vs. Stubb of New York, is
held not to apply for the reason that
that act was a general prohibition of
all employment in bakeries, to exceed
60 hours a week, which was an arbi
trary Interference to freedom to con
tract guaranteed by the United States
constitution, having no relation to the
public health, safety, morals or gen
eral welfare, which the act In question
relates only to labor of a public na
ture, such as employment by state,
county or city.
The Little Giant.
Colonel Clark E. Corr met Senator
Douglas during the time of the fa
mous Lincoln and Douglas debates
and thus describes him In bis book.
"The Illlnl:" "I had never heard so
Impressive a voice, so deep and sympa
thetlc. He had a sort of confiding way,
aa much as to say, 'I am going to tell
you I feel that I can trust myself to
say to you,' as though you were the
one person In whom be could confide.
He was only five feet four and was
well called 'the little giant.' I was as
tonished to find he bad so good a fig
are." Hrnns In Theaters.
In South Wales when the people are
pleased with the work of an actor they
have a custom of showing their appre
ciation by singing hymns at the close
of the performance. Henry Irving was
once playing at Swansea when be was
surprised to hear the audience burst
Into "Lead, Kindly Light" when be ap
peared before the curtain In response
to a call. At the close of the engage
nent the great actor was deeply touched
by the singing of "God Be With You
Till We Meet Again," rendered In the
most reverent manner.
