rhief of which is that we have not
ret received u sufficient number of
tu***e4 to warrant us in giving away
|150 worth of presents. As we
give these present* away absolutely

. hanging the time of distribution.'

5rat day of March, 1899, if we do j
lot receive another guess.

"Hello. John!" repeated the other.
"How's tho washee business?"
The attache seemed disposed to talk,

" \? here was you tonight, John?"
"I went to the theater, young man,"
the Chiuaman replied, with a far better i

Visitors to tbe National museum re

work of transferring the skeletons of
three large whales, weighing lo tbe aggregate
a boot fi. 600 pounds, from tbe
tide walls to a specially designed system
of Iron rapports in tbe center of
tbe ball of osteology Tbe obanges in
tbe installation of these skeletons wore
made necesaery by tbe construction of a ;

The wcrk of mnring the skeletons,
which waa directed by Mr. Watkina,
curator of the section of transportation
and engineering, waa a colossal undertaking,
requiring 90 men to manage the
ropea and tackle necessary in the process
of transferring the akeletone from their
old to their new homes, which were
preriooely rested by being (objected to
the actual weight of the skeletons. The
transfer waa oompleted without damage

No, 1 hardly believe that territorial

tbe Cra-.en and tbe Dahlgren, two
new torpedo boats, and contemplate tbe
construction of two more. Work ou tbe
training ship Chesapeake and tbe monitor
Counectioot is also under way. Besides,
we are bnilding a yaobt for Colonel
