Misdemeanor, to Steal a Dog
For the benefit of dog owners and
fianciers it might be well for them to

under larcency and is regarded as a mis
demeanor and is purnishable the same.

Georgia Pine In Two New Gunboats.
Bath, Me., Dec. 5. The gunboats
Vicksburg and Newport were launched
here. They are vessels of an entirely
new type, so far as onr navy is con
cerned. They are of composite con
struction. all of the framing being of
steel, but planks of Georgia pine being
worked on the frames below the water
line, secured by the composition bolts in
such a manner as to prevent galvanic
action and being then covered with cop
per. This will make the vessels largely
independent of docking facilities and
economy in the use of fuel, as the expo
liation of copper causes the barnacles
and sea grass to fall off as soon as the
ship moves, thus keeping her bottom
clean and insuring the maintenance of
full speed with a minimum coal con
sumption.
