A Marins Monster of 1800. “When I saw onr latest leviathan warship, the Indomitable, launched at Glasgow the other day.” writes a correspondent. “I con Id not help wondering what our forefathers of a century ago would have thought of her. In 1900 a leading naval authority wrote: The site of our ships seems now to have reached Its oltlmatum. The French Indeed have latterly built a ship of most extraordinary size. 172 feet keel M feet 0 inches by the beam, tonnage about 2AJ0 tons But she la pronounced to be entirely unfit for service.' And yet this marine monster of 1900. whose size made her as unwleldly that ‘ahe hath never been out of harbor.' was but a third as long as our latest cruiser. little more than twothirds the width nnJ a sixth of the tonnage. In fact, she was relattvely so small that she might easily, one would think, have been carried on the IndomitCbk-'s deck.

nouiuirtlsan It would m

matter of taking one * .-hole* according to one's political Iwllef or factional

theories on these various point*

Governor Fort Just before sine die tdjournment gave out a statement reclew lag briefly the work of the legislature and saying: “The legislature has iieeu clean In Its merobereblp. and tn loth bouse and senate the tone of the whole session has been admirable. There bare been more Independence md courage displayed by the senntori and member* than they have been given credit for by the public, it make this statement with a great if pleasure. There has been no legislation. If there can be any criticism at all. It D rather for nonactloo than for any afllrmatlre action that to

at all objectionable."

The governor was particularly pleased with the way the appropriations had twen kept down. Hto assertion the legislature had been free of pldon of corruption was received as ■ reprimand to some of the newspapers which hsd published bribery allegations In connection with the I*a««ale water conservation bill and which, •(•count of these allegations, was withdrawn. causing the proposition which to to conserve the flood waters of the Passaic river for a water supply to I laid over for another year. Since adjournment there has been Slspnte as to whether or not the Wskslee resolntlon creating a commission to Investigate the subject of excise New Jersey had |*ased the hot Governor Fort to inclined to app« the commissi™ anyway, contending that be has sufficient power to do ao.

One of the ilgned this week was that prohibiting -lilldren under sixteen from attending Cheater* or similar place* of amnsenent unless ao-ompanled by their par-

tial* or guardians.

A number of Ash and game tows have aluo been approved by the governor. They make radk-al changes tn the tor•at and Held sports. The most Important change Is the division of the state into two flab and game districts, lor upland game and one for waterfowl. with separate tows applying to
