Washington, Jim. 0. This your the
United Stutes navy not only makes Its
greatest gain In ships It ulso adtlu to
our fighting strenjtll the moHt effi
cient, the fustest, and the lieut equip
ped warships ever floated.
Before the year Ih out seven b(g
battleships, four armored cruisors and
two protected cruisers will be added
to the L'nlted Stutes navy, If the pres
ent rate of construction Ih maintained,
This will be the greuteHt increase in
any one year of the history of the
American navy, and it will advance
materially the rank of the United
Stated an a naval power.
All the new vessels represent the
highest type and all that Is modern in
naval architecture. Tho battleships
to be added within tho year are the
Virginia, Nebraska, Georgia, New Jer
sey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
Louisiana. The two last named have
a tonnage of 16,000 each, while the
other five have a tonnage of 14,948
each.
The four armored cruisers are the
California and South Dakota, of 13.
680 tons each, and the Tennessee and
Washington, of 14,500 each; whllo tho
protected cruisers are the St. Louis
and Milwaukee, of 9700 tons each.
For the present at least the Virginia
holds the battleship record of 19.01
knots, made during a four-hour runln
the open sea. This shows her to be
not only the speediest l'nlted Stutes
battleship of her class afloat, but as
fast as any ship of her class In any
navy. When the Louisiana tho other
day easily exceeded her required
speed, making 18.924 knots, the per
formance was hailed as a remarka
ble achievement, but the Virginia's
record was never In serious danger,
and Is not likely to be exceeded by the
Idaho, the last battleship to be
launched, whose speed requirement Is
only 17 knots.
In other respects, however, the
Idaho, though smaller, will be a more
up-to-date ship than some of her eon
sorts. She Is even better equipped
than the Mississippi, which was
Inunched In September. Electricity Is
used aboard the Idaho to a greater ex
tent than ever before attempted on a
warship. Her watertight bulkhead
doors of the "Long-Arm" system are
closed by electricity from the pilot
house, thus giving assurance that the
ship will be rendered unslnkablc In
case of emergency at sea. In this re
spect the latest American warships,
over 30 In oil, have an immense ad
vantage over any other nation's navy.
For the machinery to be ojierated
by electricity, the wires pass through
Indestructible steel tubes, with sepa
rate connections at every gun. The
purpose of this equipment is to make
It Impossible for a foe to disable the
machinery, as was the case In the
naval battle between , Russia and Ja
pan, when the machinery of nearly
every Russian ship was shot to pieces
by the expert Japanese gunners, dis
abling the fighting force, but other
wise leaving the ships unharmed and
therefore valuable prizes.

FOREIGN ETIQUETTE.
Some Thlnm HarnilMN Here Wonld

There are some points of foreign eti
quette which are absolutely Inexplica

Is very doutHful whether the nations to
which they lire peculiar can themselves
offer any explanation. Why, for In
stance, Is it: bad form if you visit a
Frenchman In his own room to lay
your hat on the bed? The fact remains
Unit it Is universally considered the
worst of luaouers.

brush in a Hungarian bouse is au un

MARINE LEAPERS.
The Tana la tne Must Graceful of the
Jnnprn of the Sea.
Many of the inhabitants of the sea
are good Junipers and some have lie
come famous. Among them should he
mentioned tho tarpon or silver king, a
huge fish with scales Unit gleam like
silver, which constitutes the famous
game fish of Florida. The leaps of this
beautiful crcnturij arc often astonish
ing. Several years ago a steamer was
rushing down the St. Johns river. The
captain was sitting on the fore deck,
leaning against Uie pilot house, when
suddenly there robe In the air a beauti
ful shining fish four feet lu length. It
came on like an arrow and landed In
the lap of the captain as neatly us
though It had been placed there.
In the Pacific waters the tuna, an
ally of the hors mackerel. Is noted
for its leaps. Sometimes a Bchool
sweeps up th coast and tho powerful
fish, often weighing H(K) pounds, are
seen in the nlr In every direction. They
are like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in th air and come down,
keeping the water for acres In a foam,
and if not the greatest Jumpers they
are certainly the most graceful of the
'oupers of the see.

In a corner. It was examined nnd

THE MUSSULMAN.
HU Devotion Is Interne and He la
1'roild of Ilia Itrllglua.
A traveler In Africa writes: "This Is
a land of religion. Tho Mussulman's
devotion is Intense, ever present and
all pervading, being not au accessory
tucked on, us It were, to his life to be
practiced more or less surreptitiously,
but an essential part, wherewith and
wherein he lives nt ull times. A Mus
sulman prays openly uud publicly, In
nowise ufruid to be seen. Every man
w ears his string of beads whereon he
records the number of his dally pray
ers. Notwithstanding its, to us, un
inviting iippeuriince, the religion bus
made uml still is making great strides
In Africa, and one can only attribute
this to the fact that here at lust Is a
religion of which Its adherent are lu
no way ushiimed. It offers' to Uie
faithful absolute assurance of salva
tion uud engenders that blind, unhesi
tating faith tliereiu which Is so com
forting to the native mind. ,
"Seeing a crowd of pilgrims bound for
Mecca patiently nay, with pleasure
enduring the worst treatment that one
could Imagine ine'.ed out to herds of
driven HiaTes, one envies the excess
of faith that can engender such a dis
position. Though robbed, slulu, starv
ed, herded with pestilence aud sub
jected to countless hardships and an
noyances, yet year after year they
come from far uml near thousands aud
tens of thousands strong on this the
most wonderful nnd far reaching of lat
ter day pllgriniuges.
"At Jedda one sees pilgrims from
all corners of the glolic Dutch sub
jects from Java, Chinese from Peking,
shiploads from India and Farther In
dia, Russian subjects from all parts
of the great empire, French subjects
from Algiers, from Morocco, and dusky
negroes who have trumped for mouths
from the western shores of Africa.
Through many lands and midst many
tongues they come, all to meet at this
thronged center of the maelstrom of
the Mussulman faith."
GREEK ATHLETES.
The War Ther Hnn and the Style of
Track They Used.
"In the foot races of the ancient
Greeks," suys a writer, "the shape of
the stadium caused a great difference,
since It was not circular, but long uud
narrow, with one or both ends semicir
cular. Consequently the runners hud
to take a sharp turn at the end of each
lap, while except ut the turn they were
running a straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part of the race as
a kind of drill, taking each movement
separately.
"In early times, when ull the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there ure stories of one competitor trip
ping another ut the post or seizing biin
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later. In the shorter distances ut
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round, and probably
the separate courses were roped off in
much the same way as Uiey arc now
lu sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made nnd at Olyni
pia the stone slabs are still to be seen,
with the grooves at regular Intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
"Greek long distance men run in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the spriuters apparently em
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action nnd took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the
race in armor, an event highly praised
by several of the Greek writers as a
valuable preparation for war and
which is supposed to explain the fa
mous running charge of the Athenians
at Marathon."
A Literary Coincidence.
"My father, W. Clnrk ltussell," aaid
Herbert Russell In telling of a literary
coincidence, "had finished maturing the
plot of his novel, 'The Death Ship.'
which Is a version of the legend of Vnn
derdecken. I was his amanuensis nt
Uie time. Ho said to me, 'Tomorrow
we will begin the story. On the fol
lowing morning when I entered his
study to take his dictation of the open
ing lini8 he showed me u letter he hud
Just received. It was from W. S. Gil
bert, tho well known dramatist, asking
him why he did not write a novel
about tho Flying Dutchman."
Funeral In the Hlnhlands.
A Scottish correspondent writes of
funerals lu Uie highlands: "There are
no undertakers here. A carpenter
makes the simple coflln, relatives and
friends carry It, hip high, to its last
resting place, which Is dug when the
end of the Journey Is reached, and,
having walked perhaps six miles to
the chosen klrkyard, they take a re
freshment of sandwiches and whisky
and walk home again. The rigorous
absence of pomp Is maintained, but
Uiere Is the added embellishment of
pipe music."

AMONG GREEN RIVER CLIFF DWELLERS
The following interesting article on
the cliff dwellers of Green river can
yon is from the Four Track News, and
was written by Carl H. Paddock.
It gives a highly entertaining ac
count of this strange district In the
American desert:
Miners of copper are unlocking the
gates of the desert. The stretches of
blistering sand and the moat-like
canyons that have long held back the
advance of civilization have been
overcome. The ruined forts, villages
and canals of the vanished race that
once peopled the rock-walled meadows
of southern I'tah can now be easily
reached. After centurieB of silence
the echoes of the once populous cliffs
have been awakened by the whistle
of the river steamer.
Tourists pre carried to the home of
this ancient people by a passenger
steamer that made her first trip this
summer. The boat plies between
Rlverton, a railroad town on the
Green River, and the little Mormon
city of Moab. on the Grand river, a
distance of 230 miles, taking the trav
eler, in the course of the Journey, to
the head of the grand canyon of the
Colorado.
Mystery and beauty are combined
In the fascinating Interest this region
possesses for the tourist. The course
of the boat lies at a depth of
thousands of feet below the surround
ing country, affording an ever-changing
panorama of terraced cliffs, tint
ed by nature In rainbow hues. Chis
eled and painted on the great tablets
of the precipices are hieroglyphics,
for the most part undeclphered.
Two kinds of inscriptions appear;
one. made with stone implements nnd
murky colors, is evidently the work
of modern Indians; the more ancient
records are the work of skilled arti
sans using metal tools, and pigments
that are still vivid.
By giving the name canyon dwellers
to the makers of the earlier Inscrip
tions, the burden of racial classifica
tion is shifted upon more capable stu
dents. The canyon dwellers seem to
have made greater progress toword
civilization than the allied peoples
from whom the modern Pueblos have
descended and, according to tradition,
they were totally exterminated by the
more barbarous tribes that laid their
country waste. Legend says that the
last desperate survivors leaped Into
the river nnd their spirits entered Into
the white salmon. To the modem In
dian the salmon Is known as the spir
it fish, and he will not touch It, alive
or dead.
A hint of the tragedy Is contained
In the last of the cliff records made by
the canyon dwellers. Usually the
final picture represents an Indian
with his typical head-dress of feath
ers, a figure that does not appear In
the earlier records. This last picture
Is often Incomplete, an Indication that
destruction, when It came, wns swift.
During their undisturbed possession
of the occasional strips of irrigable
land along the rivers, the canyon
dwellers mnde progress In the nrts and
agriculture. Their cnnals. sometimes
dug from solid rock, shoV an empiri
cal knowledge of engineering princi
ples. A map of Green river chiseled
on a cliff Is remarkably accurate.
Their architecture has a certain rude
grandeur, indicating that they were
not insensible to the sublimity of their
surroundings. In the lines of their
fields and artificial ponds Is revealed
a taste for formal gardening.
Still growing wild along the river
Is a plant from the fiber of which
they mnde a coarse cloth. For food
they probably depended largely upon
maize, and the size of their granaries
indicates a communal polity. For
fruit they hnd something resembling
a peach. Thi now grows wild In the
region, nnd has a delicious flavor.
That a belief of Immortality was
very real to the canyon dwellers is
evident from the care they took In the
disposition of their dead. For pro
tection from Insects the bodies were
wrapped in matting woven from the
Inner bark of the cednr.
The dryness of the ntmosphere
completed the work of mummifica
tion. The burial places were crevices
and chambers in the rock; after the
bodies had been placed within them
In a sitting posture, these were tight
ly sealed with cement. The lines of
the workmen's hands are still distinct

In the cement work. Cement wns used
extensively In the construction of
granaries, cisterns, forts and dwelling
places.
Evidences of e dense population
supported on the comparatively small
cultivated areas are conclusive. On
the face of an immense black rock,
standing In an Isolated position far
back from the river, are the Imprints
ofvthe right hand and right foot of
at least 20,000 people of all ages,
even the youngest children being rep
resented. The most plausible explanation
seen to be that the roek was used
for a kind of census registration, pos
sibly in connection with some relig
ious ceremony. In making the Im
prints a white paint or cement was
used, and the lines of the hands and
feet are still distinct. The use of
sandals Is shown by the Imprints of
the feet, the great toe always stand
ing out from the others
The souls long ago departed from
the bodies of the sandal wearers, and
from the silent mummies In the tombs
comes no response in answer to the
questions of the curious traveler. The
patient labors of the archaeologist,
however, may be expected to reveal
the story locked In the ancient rec
ords, and in the meantime a new civ
ilization is springing up on the site of
the old.
The superstitious might feel Justi
fied in the belief that the region laid
waste has been guarded by revengeful
spirits. Many of the attempts to ex
plore and occupy the country have
been, ill-starred. It was soon aban
doned after its conquest by warring
nomads, for only a people skilled in
agriculture and irrigation could wrest
a living from the reluctant soil, and
the lund of the canyon dwellers soon
lapsed Into the desert state from
which it has not since been reclaimed.
Undoubtedly, the narrow meadows
along the river will be occupied when
they are made accessible by reliable
passenger and freight steamers, but
the boats that hove been tried have
most of them been partial failures.
Obstacles encountered In the Green
river have made it necessary to re
model the "City of Moab," the latest
of the river steamer, but now the
owners expect to handle the traffic
to the entire satisfaction of everyone
concerned. The "Wllmont," a little
steamer In the service of a mining
company, makes frequent trips with
supplies, and has proved that the
navigation of the Green is feasible.
This steamer nnd others like it will
tow to the railroad In barges ore used
by the present canyon dwellers to
make their hardened copper tools.
IlKlllY I'OH PACKERS' TIMAIi.
Pre-K'nt Suit Is a Provisional Fffort
Merely.
Chicago, Jan. 9. The trial against
the beef packers Indicted for conspir
acy to violate the anti-trust laws,
opened today in the l'nlted States
district court. There 'are in all 21
persons and corporations under In
dictment and the hearing is held to
decide the 10 special pleas for Immu
nity, raised by the defendants.
The verdict of the Jury will only de
cide whether the packers are to be
tried later on the main charges In the
case or go free altogether, because
under the law they are entitled to Im
munity from prosecution If, as they
assert, they furnished evidence against
themselves during the Garfield inves
tigation, and which evidence it is de
clared by the defendants, was used
against them to bring the Indictments.
The selection of the Jury consumed
considerable time. In all there were
200 veniremen summoned. Eleven of
the 82 were peremptorily challenged
by the government and eight by the
packers.
The Jury consists of Joseph G. Wal

miles south of the city, and also to
Increase the working force and give
employment to at least 25 men. All
are to be experts In their line. This
will be but one of the many payrolls
to be started heer this year. These
25 cigar makers will receive In
wages at least 130,000 a year, which
will be diverted In local channels of
trade.
