PRIDE OF NAVY
IN '98 ENDS DAYS
AS A CRANESHIP
U. S. S. Kearsage Once One
Of Most Powerful
Battleships.
NEW YORK.—When the United
States Craneship 1 recently arrived
at the New York navy yard, Brook
lyn, in tow of the transport Sirius,
her strange appearance—swollen
sides, odd deckhouses and huge
crane—disguised a former pride of
the fleet, the U. S. S. Kearsarge.
One of the most powerful battle
ships in the world at the time of her
launching in 1898, the Kearsarge
was brought from Bremerton navy
yard, near Seattle, to assist in the
construction of the two battleships
on the ways at Philadelphia and
New York.
Ordered in 1895 and built at New
port News, Va., the Kearsarge and
her sister ship, the Kentucky, were
put in commission in 1900. Their
11,520 tons displacement made them
the heaviest vessels in the United
States navy; main batteries of four
13-inch and four 8-inch guns, each
firing a broadside weighing three
tons, put them in the top rank for
fire power.
Had Daring Construction.
The turret arrangement was con
sidered a daring innovation, and
was a precursor of the now fa
miliar system of having the turrets
in series, one over the other.
Another distinction of the Kear
sarge was that she was the last

U. S. Craneship No. 1, shown pass
ing through Panama canal, was
once one of world’s greatest ships.
first-line battleship not named for
a state. Instead she commemorated
a naval vessel of Civil war fame,
which in turn was named for Mt.
Kearsarge, N. H.
The Kearsarge’s career was not
warlike. Completed too late for the
Spanish-American war, she was on
the reserve list and serving as a
training ship for the Massachu
setts naval militia when the World
war came. Her only casualty was
suffered through the peace-time ex
plosion of a five-inch gun—with the
theoretical exception of one occasion
when she was “ put out of action” in
a sham battle.
Made Craneship in 1920.
The Kearsarge was one of the 18
battleships composing the United
States fleet which circumnavigated
the globe in 1907-1909. Not long
after the Kearsarge was extensively
refitted, cage-wire masts substitut
ed for her “stick” military masts
and four five-inch guns added to her
secondary armament. But the rap
id advance of naval architecture
had already overtaken the ship and
she was put on the reserve liat. In
1920 her masts, turret guns, propel
ling machinery and one funnel were
removed; a wide bulge fitted to her
sides to increase her stability; cranes
and deckhouses added and the Kear
sarge became Craneship I. The
cost of reconstruction was nearly
$2,000,000.
The naval progress which put the
Kearsarge into the discard is strik
ingly illustrated by the contrast be
tween that ship and the two battle
ships North Carolina and Washing
ton, now under construction. The
new vessels will be more than twice
as long as the 370-foot Kearsarge;
their displacement, 35,000 tons, will
be three times as great, with the
broadside of their 18-inch guns in
the same proportion. Finally, the
estimated cost of the new ships is
$70,000,000, whereas the Kearsarge
was completed for about $5,000,000—
not enough to pay for a modern
destroyer.
Pipeline 100 Year» Old
1» Made of Hollow Logs
CHARDON, OHIO.—A pipeline of
hollowed logs 1,000 feet long, thought
to be a part of a plumbing system
installed about 100 years ago, has
been uncovered by D. O. Root on a
farm near here.
Holes had been bored through the
middle of the logs and the end of
each log was sharpened to join the
next.
In one of the logs below the spring
was a cut-off. A hole had been
bored and a plug inserted. When
water was required the plug was
raised. It still will operate.
Old Log Cabin Shingled
SELINSGROVE, PA. - Lyman
Baker shingled his 120-year-old log
cabin here with the slats from 800
lettuce crates. He nailed the slats
over the logs and finished the re
modeling with a coat of paint.
Arcaded streets, medieval foun
tains, gates and towers, plus a loca
tion in a peninsula above the river
Aare, with the Alps glistening in the
distance, combine to make the Swiss
capital into a picture town. Berne
was founded by Duke Berthold V
of Zahringen in 1191 A, D., and al
though it is government headquar
ters, meeting place of diplomats and
a modern intellectual center, it
guards its ancient traditions and
landmarks with jealous pride,
writes a correspondent in the New
York World-Telegram.
Market days have retained their
old-time importance and prove an
opportunity for citizens and peasants
to meet regularly on a friendly
basis. Reminiscent of the era when
Berne’s prestige depended much on
the aristocracy who lived within its
walls, such as the Von Erlach, Von
Diesbach, Von Frisching and Von
Wattenwyl families, is the Junkern-
gasse, street of the patricians,
whose old-fashioned yet distin
guished residences command in
front a far-sweeping view of the
winding Aare and the regal Alps.
At the entrance to the thorough
fare rises the noble Gothic cathe
dral of St. Vincent, and in its very
shadow, on Tuesdays and Fridays,
convenes the poultry market. Shrill
protests and cries are heard quite
often while this m art is in session,
and they emanate from an object of
horror—a small-sized but efficiently
functioning guillotine, with an exe
cutioner in crimson cap in attend
ance. Here chickens have to give up
their lives for Bernese dinners.

kansas Traveler,” which comes Sun

In this story of life in a typical
small town. Bob will be seen as a
happy-go-lucky wandering printer
who takes over the editorship of a
country newspaper and fights a war
against political corruption. His
new role continues the trend Bob
started In “Wells Fargo” a season
ago. He has cast aside his time-
honored bazooka and musical come
dy gags to blossom forth as a full-
fledged character actor and portray
er of homely American types. Hol
lywood experts claim that he has
now won the place occupied for so
many years by the late beloved Will
Rogers.

Hot Water Eye Doctor
Hot water is one of the best eye
doctors. Often simple inflamma
tions may be stopped by its use.
The danger, of course, lies in diag
nosis. The inflammation may be
complex, not simple. If hot appli
cations do not give ease and relief
shortly, take the eyes to the doctor.
Water for this usage should be
only hot enough to help, not hot
enough to burn. The application is
to be made to the tightly closed—
and kept tightly closed—eye. Under
no circumstances keep the eyes
open while bathing them. The idea
is to increase the circulation in
the lids, and by that means help
the rest of the eye if it needs help.
This is perhaps unscientific, but ex
tremely practical. Often it works—
and that is what the person involved
wants.
Early Motor Cycle
The earliest known attempt at a
two-wheeled vehicle which would
proceed under its own power is said
to have been made by W. W. Austin
of Winthrop, Mass., in 1868. It was
propelled by a coal-burning steam
engine. Other more or less similar
affairs followed in 1884 and 1886.
In 1895 a cycle propelled by a com
bustion engine using gasoline was
exhibited at Madison Square Garden
in New York city. This has been
called the first appearance of the
motor cycle.
Life of Toads, Frogs
Toads and frogs may live for a
number of years if they manage
to escape their natural enemies and
remain in a suitable environment.
There is a well authenticated case
of a toad which lived for 36 years
and was accidentally killed. The
common frog sometimes requires
from four to five years to mature in
the North and barring accidents
which are usual in a natural state
would probably live at least ten or
12 years.
