ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 20. —(Special.)
—Midshipmen don't spend all of their
time hazing and being hazed. They

the enlargement and equipment r»f
the Naval Academy has been spent
on the new Marine Engineering and
Naval Construction building—a huge
structure, 206 by 175 feet in size. It,
is two stories high, and cost $400,-
000 before a dollar had been expend*
ed for interior equipment.
On the ground floor is the model
room, crammed with working models
and exhibits of the thousand and one
pieces of the machinery with which
the naval officer must be as familiar
as he is with guns and torpedoes.
Adjoining the model room is the
mechanicai laboratory. Here is the
fuH-sized working installation of the
"Long-Arm” system of power doors,
operating from a central station
which, on a warship, is located above
deck. When the officer in command
releases a wheel he starts the door
motors going, and the bulkhead
doors are closed throughout the
ship, rendering it unslnkable. At
the same time the men below have
the power to hold up any door tem

This Is a fair example of the value
of the Marine Engineering depart
ment In familiarizing midshipmen
with the machinery of which they
will later be in charge. All the
new cruisers of the “Colorado” type,
and the new battleships of the "Con

this electrical door-closing system. It.
is a device which has been developed
in the American navy only, and the
working exhibit here received very
interesting and enthusiastic atten

in the winter.
In the mechanical laboratory, the
midshipmen are instructed in classes

Two Hundredth Anniversary of Benjamin Franklin s Birth
Next to the Bible and Shakespeare I
perhaps no hook Is more frequently :
quoted than "Poor Richard's Alms
ntr," yet many to whom Its wise
saws are household words are tin
aware when using them that they are
drawing front the front of Benjamin
Franklin's philosophy As the man
of common sense Franklin ranks fore
most among the partiots who estab
llahed American Independence. Hen
ry's oratory, Washington's swtird, and
Jefferson» pen cottUl 'have availed
little If Franklin's Influence had not
secured the aid of France —for York
town would have been an Impossibili
ty save for I.aFayotte and Comte de
Grasse.
When, moreover one studies the
chart of America's freedom of the
sea. the compass points to Franklin
as the founder .of our navy: for
Franklin’s friendship with John Paul
Jones anchored that Scotchman In
American waters. So that If John
Paul Jones has the honor of belt\£
styled the Father of the American
Navy, to Hcjamln Franklin is con
signed the position of god father. On
account of admiration for Franklin.
Louis XV fitted out Captain John
Paul Jones with a ship, which the
French king ordered named "Le Bon
Homme Richard." as a compliment to
the author of "Poor Richard's Alma
nac."
Founder of the Union.
Benjamin Franklin heads the list of
our greatest self-made men, save per
haps Ahraham Lincoln. A careful
etudy of his life leads to the belief
that Franklin was not like Washing
ton and Henry, simply the man of
the hour, but that at any period of
history he would have been equal to
the occasion. Like Jefferson, the
depth of Franklin's intellect would
have enabled hint under any circum
stances to have steered to the front.
To Franklin's philosophic mind. Jef
ferson referred his first draft of the
declaration of independence, which
was a tacit acknowledgment by tha
sage of Monticello of Franklin's wig
idom. Jefferson by the self-adver-.
'tisement. of having written his owfi
epitaph, reminds the world of his
services, while Franklin by his “Ar
ticles of Confederation.” really laid
the foundation of our national union,
so that the United States of Am
erica is his monument.
Father of the Press.
To Franklin's patronage of printing
Is due the freedom of the press in
our country; and his ingenuity first
gave the Idea of illustrated news,
while his clever use led possibly

mercial prosperity. Franklin’s effort
In establishing libraries and the cir
culation of his "Poor Richard's Alma

sand annually, fostered a national
pride and stimulus to the growth of
American literature. Even Lord
Jeffrey, the relentless critic for the
Edinburg Review. Is forced to grant
to" Franklin's writings "the vigor of
Swift, the polish of Addison.”
Ideas of Education.
As an advocate for education
Franklin, the self-made man, had the
most, practical appreciation of the
needs of the masses. From his own
experience he declares that, "He who
has a trade has an estate.”
Franklin also advocated manual
training for women rather than ex

With one of the busiest seasons he

the officials of the Immigration de
partment, on Ellis Island, the great
gatewav to America for the Invading
host from the Old World, have now
leisure enough to reflect upon what
the year has brought forth. The full
statistics for the year will not be
made up for some time yet, but the
first six months of 1905 have shown
that Italy .continues to hold her place
at the head of the emigrating pnpu
lations. From January until July Ist
more than 164,000 Italians passed
through the inspecting rooms of the
Island on their way to hecome Amor

His Religion.
Franklin came front a family that
was Puritan of the Puritans. Tra
dition says that despite Boston snow
and January bleakness, his Calvin
lstlc mother took him the very day of
his hlrth to the church for baptism.
As he was the tenth child his father
regarded him as the tithe due to the
Lord. Providence though had des
tined young Benjamin to a wider
sphere of usefulness than a ministry
among the witch burners of New Eng
land. Franklin's life was spent for
the betterment of mankind, his broad
eathollcy carrying him far beyond the
narrow dogmas of sectarianism. In
early life Benjamin the pew
of the Presbyterian, but he was not
elected there to remain; for later
the spirit moved him to nap In the
Quaker meeting house, and sueh was
his Impartiality that to Franklin's
Influence Is traceable Carroll of Mary
land being appointed first Catholic
Bishop of America. Having no pati
ence with the New England Sabbath,
Franklin was never a Sabbatarian.
Early in life he set a#ide Sunday
as his day for study and writing,
and later, like the French, regarded
it as a fete day.
Franklin’s friendship included an

yet. ho it told to his credit." he ad
vertised Thomas l’alne to burn In

are so wicked with religion, whal
would they do without It?"
The Book of Common Prayer, as
used In the United States, was short
ly after the revolution, revised along
lines suggested by the pen of Frank
lin. Although Franklin was nevci
sectarian, in his later years he was
a pew-holder and frequent attendant
at the Episcopal church, corner of
Arch and Fifth street.s Philadelphia,
and there, In the church yard his re
mains found a grave by the side of
his wife, Deborah.
His Married Life.
When Washington, Jefferson and
Franklin were young sparks, Dickens
had not Irumpted through the mouth
piece of Weller his warning to "Be
vare of the vidders." Franklin, how
ever, was more up to date than his
contemporaries of Virginia, so that In
selecting a consort, he not only chose
a widow, but a grass-widow, which
circumstance never prevented her
from making Franklin a faithful help
meet and satisfactory spouse, Mrs.
Franklin's maiden name was De

her as barrels of apples, buckwheat

His Ready Wit.
Whon Franklin heard that Howe
had captured Philadelphia, with the
Instinct of the prophet, he replied:
“No, Philadelphia has captured
Howe,” and thus It proved. A remark
even more facetious than this was
mad# by Frnnklln when Harrison of
Virginia urged the signers of the
Declaration of Independence "that
congress must all hang together in
i its defense." Franklin with grim
humor, added, "Or we will all hang
separately.”

gouty figure of Franklin presented at
the French court a vast contrast to
the fashionably dressed and powder
ed bewlgged autocrats of Europe. But.

Among the French such was Frank
lin's popularity that It excited the
envy of the other commissioners, I>ee

of whom he sought work sneered at

In many ways Franklin was ahead
of his generation, though he never
had hut two years' schooling, and
from his twelfth year hail to scuf
fle for his support. Frnnklln loam
ed not only that experience Is the
host teacher, hut that "the door of
learning Is never shut.”
On account of his scientific studies
the University of St. Andrew In Seol
land conferred upon Franklin the de
gree of LL.D., hence hla title Dr.
Franklin.
As the patron of art Franklin's
friendship meant much to the paint
er, William West, nnd the artist pot
ter. Wedgewood. To hint It is also
due that the French aculptor Herndon
perpetuated In marble the physique
of Washington.
Franklin’s Ingenuity jack-at all
trades hatched many Ideas that had
he been a mat) of more leisure would
have been perfected Into valuable In
vention. As the father of thh light
ning rod he has been the comfort, of
the country; whilo his Invention of
glasses with the lens divided so as
to suit. not. only rending, hut dlstnnt
vision, has given pleasure to thou
sands of elderly people. Ills knowl
edge of hygiene, based on common
senso rather than the then known
science of medicine, was far aheail
nf Ills time. He advocated the use
of water as conducive to health ami
a constant supply of fresh air In
the bedroom. He algo believed that
a vegetable diet was ntoro healthy
than meat, nnd ndvlses, "To lengthen
thy life, shorten thy meals.” snd
Buplements this Idea by Insisting that,
“Three good meals a day Is bad liv
ing," and adds the maxim that we
"Eat to live, not live to eat."
From being a newsboy and printer's
devil, Franklin rose to the position
of the greatest diplomat In America,
and verified by bis life Solomon’s
saying. “Beeest thou n man diligent In
his railing, he shall stand before
kings." As the representative of
the American people Franklin liter
ally stood before five kings. But
this did not turn his head or even
eause him to lose pride In his trade
