The biggest dry dock in America
is that which was opened yesterQay
at Newport News, Va. A dispatch
from Portress Monroe sa3Ts:
In the presence of about eighty
representative business men of New
York and a respectable sprinkling
of naval officers and newspaper men
of Washington, the new dry dock
of the Chesapeake Dry Dock and
Construction Company was formal
ly opened at Newport News to day,
when the monitor Puritan was
docked. The dock is the largest bv
far in the United States, the dimen
sions beiii as follows: Length at
top, 600 feet; width at top, 130 feet;
bottom, 50 feet; with entrance, 93
feet; draft of water over sill, 25 feet;
capacity, 8,500,000 gallons. The
dock was built in two years by Simp
son & Co., being the fourteenth they
have constructed.
St. Louis is happy at last. It has
a big gas trust. Just how the thing
was worked is told in ,the following
special from that city:
"The New York and Philadelphia
syndicate which stole into St. Louis
about three weeks ago and paid
$3,500,000 for the Laclede Gas Works,
has just distinguished itself by cap
turing the other gas companies at a
nominal cost of $5,500,000, making
the total investment in St. Louis at
$9,000,000 in less than a week. The
agents were supposed to be acting
for the Vanderbilts and August Bel
mont. When,however, James O'Con
nor and W. W. Gibbs appeared upon
the scene it became evident that the
Equitable and United Gas Coin
pany, of New York and Philadel
phia, in other words, Rockefeller,
Warden, Gibbs, and other Standard
GH1 millionaires, were back of the
purchase.
In accordance with the usual for
mula the gas companies of the city
will be consolidated, an immense
trust formed, and $10,000,000 of
bonds, and $2,500,000 of preferred
stock issued, the syndicate thus
coming into control of several plants
without the expenditure actually of
a cent."

Spare t lie Birds' Nests.
A good friend of ours, resident in
this city, in a communication te the
Review voices the sentiment which
has frequently occurred to us. It
is in regard to the wholesale des
truction by boys of the birds' nests,
in the eager and thoughtless eearch
for eggs, with which to make up. a
collection. He says:
Will you not, throngh the columns
of vour valuaoie paper, inaKe an
appeal to the young boys and their
parents in beealf of the pqor little
birds of our forest? It is not general
ly know what sad havoc is made
upon our sweet songsters daily,
and especially on Saturdays,
bv at least one third of the
vounerer population of our city
For miles the woods are scoured in
search of birds nests, each boy get
tinsr ud a collection. You can find
the eggs of almost every bird in our
forests in some of them. 'Tis wrong:,
'tis cruel. Ve are deprived of their
sweet songs and thelfarmers of their
valuable services in destroying
worms and other insects so destruc
tive on our truck farms. When I
was a boy it was considered a dis
grace to rob a bird's nest.
If the boys would but confine
their depredations to the nest of the
English sparrow now domiciled here
which are breeding too rapidly and
are becoming a real nuisance, the
evil would not be so great. But
when they rob the nests of the
mocking-birds, the thrush and the
red bird, they are threatening the
extermination of some of the most
beautiful and valuable denizens of
the woods. We see no way of
remedying "the evil but through
parental influence and the dis
couraging by all of collections of
birds eggs.
