From the New York Herald
The officials at the Brooklyn navy
yard are exerting every effort to nar-
row down the number of employes
who by reason of their work had ac-
cess to that portion of the hull of the
Connecticut that was punctured to
the individual who committed the
deed “The men now all know that the
suspect is within their ranks for there
has been no one discharged since the
perpetration of the outrage” Naval
Constructor Baxter said “I fully ex-
pect that they will ferret him out for
their indignatlou is high and every
man's actions are watched by the
others in the gang in which he is em-
ployed" The above picture is a re-
production of the drawings made of
the obstructing bolt which threatened
to wreck the battleship at her launch-
ing the bored rivets and the damage
to the bottom of the ship Secret serv-
ice men are plentiful in the yard and
every new face seen gazing upon the
battleship as she lies at the end of
th6 dock is believed to belong to a
detective according to the men Not
a person approaches the Connecticut
who is not carefully scrutinized by
the guard as well as by persons who
are In the garb of workmen A power-
ful searchlight has been set at a point
half way up the mainmast of the
ship and its beams cover the waters
about the battleship Besides this
launches with armed marines are per-
forming picket duty near the ship
Every precaution is being taken to
properly guard the ship

signs dangling from his- person were
done in most artistic fashion and
called attention to the excellence of a
new brand of cigars Following close
behind him came a smartly dressed
colored boy who acted as his valet

themselves with the greatest gravity

(Special Correspondence)
The lovely dtles of Italy which
cling to the hillsides' aa Siena does or
spread over the plain na Florence haa
done have aa a rule a cheerful ap-
pearance Even ruined cities are not
always silent and but seldom gloomy
or dull The noisiest city of Italy In
a certain sense Is Pompeii which
speaks from its walls with a thou-
sand voices telling Ita story aa it may
oxer and over again Even the ruined
and abandoned little city of Nlnfa on
Altar in St Vitale
the fringe of the Pontine marshes
has an eloquence in its walls and a
profuse poetry In Its lUnumeraule flow-
ers The loneliest and saddest-looklng
of all the cities of Italy with which
I am acquainted during a lengthy ex-
perience is Ravenna situated amidst
the marshes on the shore of the Adri-
atic sea One of the numerous writ-
ers who have recently undertaken to
make Ravenna known to the outside
world considers that her high for-
tune was owing to her submerged ter-
ritory when the rest of Italy was
swamped beneath the waves of bar-
barian Invasion and that the pes-
tilence which walked the streets and
came from her unhealthy surround-
ings guarded her from molestation
The terrible sadness of Ravenna Is
not conducive to a lengthened stay
here and' most people leave it'after
a couple of days but the attractions
that— 4k -city hotdW out-la li nrdlua-
rily well-read traveler are not only nu-
merous but peculiarly interesting
Here as you study what this city has
preserved in the many centuries of
its comparatively peaceful existence—
for it seems to have been spared the
invasions that rendered other cities
desolate — you come close to the 'origin
of the Tast bulk of our modern art
When the special Christian art of
Rome which began and developed In
the Catacombs was brought to a
sudden cessation by the Invasion of
the Eternal City In the beginning of
the fifth century the tale was taken
up in Ravenna No memorials of this
period to any appreciable extent are
to be met elsewhere What would
otherwise be a gap In the art of the
Christian world from the fifth to the
eighth century ia furnished by the
churches of this lone city by the
marshes of the Adriatic
What the ancient cities of Classis
and Ravenna were like can be seen In
the mosaics that adorn the wails of
the sixth- century basilica of
Sant’ Apollinare Nuovo There
is seen the port of Classis
with its walls and towers and
the buildings within their inclos-
ure Here on one side the wide sea
Is visible and there are ships close
under the city walls In the repre-
sentation of Ravenna there Is seen
the palace of Tbeodorlc — a long build-
ing two stories in height roofed with
red tiles and supported by high ar-
cades A portico tf Ith a triangular
pediment forms the center of it and
three great doors give entrance to this
splendid residence Between the col-
umns hang rich curtains and garlands
of flowers In the pediment of the
principal door shine mosaics above
the curves of the arches in the ar-
cade are delightful little figures of
winged Victories carrying green
wreaths and their light and grace re-
mind one of the celebrated dancers of
Pompeii
The richness and abundance of
mosaic decoration ia quite overwhelm-
ing and the eyes grow weary with
perpetual examination of mosaics and
dazzled with the brilliancy of the
lights reflected from the backgrounds
and the Jewel-like colors of the adorn-
ments Of this 8L Vitale an old
chronicler has written that nowhere
in Italy does there exist a church com-
parable to this for beauty and ability
of construction And even to-day amid
the many marvels which ‘Ravenna haa
to show to the traveler SL Apollinare
in Classe and 8L Vitale are the most
marvelous and attractive of all
The lonely and aparlcly Inhabited
streets end the desolate country in
the neighborhood of the Plneta "or
pine forest are haunted by the shad-
ows of the poets who have adorned
their land’s language In Italy and in
England— Dante and Byron The his-
torical background to the grand spec-
tacle of story and ruined monuments'
of Ravenna Is lighted up by the mem-
ory of these poets - j
It has been aid that when Dante
was living at Ravenna he would spend
whole days alone among the foest
giadea of these melancholy pine woods
— “the divine forest thick and lit ing”
Here he must have been inspiied to
toe description he gives of the forest
In the “Purgatorlo” ' Sad as a for-
saken home as dead love as Vanished1
hopes this melancholy wood with the'
branches thick at the treetops
stretches away for miles and stagnant
pools and slow-flowing canals are seen
between the openings of the trees
Here a snake glides past close to jour
feet as you walk along and warm
though the day Is you shudder at the
sight as It from a sudden chill
Strange fat plants that look luscious
with poison juices grow abundantly
The distant flat horizon' is scarcely
broken by a dim far-away belfry
round instead of square reminding
you of the famous round towers of
Ireland
Dante died at Ravenna f and per
haps the overpowering melancholy of
the place combined with bis personal
sorrows contributed to shorten his
days His tomb stands at the end of
the little street in which stood the
palace of the Polenta family from
which the unhappy Francesca da Rim-
ini descended The church of San
Francesco with its great' marble
sarcophagi In the adjoining cloister
Is close beside It It is a small mauso-
leum with a tiny cupola not unlike
tbo tomb of Burns in SL Michael’s
churchyard at Dumfries “So great
were the vicissitudes which beset the
remains of Dante” says an English
writer “that it would seem as if in
death no more than in life was there
to be a permanent place of rest for
‘the body within IThtch I made shad-
ow Lord Byron the curled darling at
one time and the hated outcast at an-
other of fashionable England In the
early diys of the 19th century also
came to Ravenna but for love of a
lady The angel-like face and golden
hair of the 16-year-old Teresa Gamba
married to Couni Ouiooloil attracted
the English lord of high degree It
Is in the Hotel Byron a sad forsaken-
looking place that most people stay
in Ravenna A large marble slab set
In the outer wall bears an inscription
In Italian of a highly extravagant
character in praise of Byron His
Tomb of Theodoric
name Is all 'over the place as one
might say but his memory does not
come homo to you so vividly as that
of Dante Nor does his ghost revisit
the glimpses of the moon as they
say of Dante'a
Byron stayed two years at Ravenna
and was constant in riding to and
from the Pineta or pine wood Boccac-
cio and Byron Dante - and Dryden
have referred to this pine wood and
even the “Groves of Blarney” are not
ao famous In poetry as the pine wood
of Ravenna! Outside of the city is
the tomb of Tbeodorlc standing in a
marsh with the water surrounding it
—a queer construction of the rude
workmanship of the Gotha which haa
endured comparatively unharmed
through the long course of fourteen
centuries It ia Gally-Knigbt who tells
us that the construction of the arch
In this building is peculiar that
atones are dove-tailed into each other
In “a manner which was afterward
much employed by the architects of
the middle ages”

The Poultry Crop
The report received this year from ’
our numerous correspondents Indicate "
a material Increase In the supply 6f
chickens' a fair Increase la the supply
of turkeys and ducks and a falling off
In the supply of geese - The weather
conditions havo been rather more
favorable than for tho paat two or 1
three years The season was rather
cool but on tho whole quite season-
able but In some sections of the
Southwest the - far-West-and the
North the heavy rainfall caused a
rather heavy loss in tho early batch-
Ihgs especially of turkeys many c t
the young birds dying of wet and
cold The fertility of the early eggs
also was somewhat affected by the
very cold weather during the winter
leaving the stock not In as good con-
dition aa when the winters -were-not
so severe but this was overcome later
by more favorable conditions From
Iowa a number of reports stated that
rata had killed off a good share of the
early hatchings
Turkeys — The crop of turkeys is es-
timated to be about 15 per cent heav-
ier than last year Our reports m
most Instances claim large increases
in the flocks of turkeys - but some
points which raised a good many- tur- '
keys last year - report a material
shrinkage this year On the whole
however we look for more turkeys to
come to market during the winter
The season Is unusually late and
where in other seasons a good many
turkeys have been shipped in up to
this time so far this year but few
turkeys have been received Then
too farmers arp being blessed with
good crops and in no need for Imme- - -diate
money can afford to allow their
turkeys to run until fall
Chickens — The reports generally
Indicate a very material increase In
the crop of chickens and it Is fair J
to state that the crop at least Is about
20 per cent larger than last year The
weather conditions were generally
favorable Farmers being in good
condition financially and receiving
good prices for thetr eggs have per-
haps not marketed their stock as
early nor as freely as usual and in-
dications are that there is a large
quantity to come forward
Ducks — Everything points to a large
crop of ducks— such at least are tho
conclusions derived from the reports
received The indications are for an
increase of about 10 per cent over last
year ‘ Late prices ha been more en-
couraging to farmers to raise ducks
Geese — The crop of geese is esti-
mated to be about the same as last
year possibly 10 per cent less Of
late the raising of ggese has fallen off
considerably with perhaps the larg-
est shrinkage In Illinois where the
enactment of a law prohibiting geezo
from running at large baa made a very
marked difference in the number of
geese raised — Sprague Commission

Mucilaginous Coat of the Egg
On the outside of every newly laid
egg is an albuminous coat or muclla-
glnous coat according to the term
used to designate 1L This is sticky
when the egg is dropped but quickly
hardens Us purpose Is evidently to
seep out the air or to kep In the air
that is In one end of the egg At any
rate it helps to keep the egg from
spoiling It is doubtless efficacious In
keeping out the germs that are every-
where present in the outer alr The
egg that has this coat keeps longer
than the egg that has had this coat-
ing removed A good many people
wash their eggs as soon as they come
from the nests on account of stains on
the eggs or for other reasons This
washing removes-the mucilaginous
coat It Is evident therefore that
eggs should be so prepared for that
they will be clean when taken from
the nests and not need washing This
means that the nesta should be kept
clean and also the yards that the feet
of the fowl may also remain clean ’
Where yards are allowed to become
muddy the feet of the hena will soil
the nqsta and this will necessitate the
washing of all eggs
Professional Insect Killers
A report of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says: It may
often happen that the amount of work
in a community is sufficient to in-
duce one or more persons to under-
take the treatment of plants at a giv-
en charge per tree or per gallon of the
Insecticide employed Where this Is
tho case and tho contracting parties
iro evidently experienced and capa-
ble It la frequently moro economical
to the end to employ such experienced
persons especially whon a guaranies
Is 8iven rather than attempt to do
the work one’s self with the attending
difficulty or preparing Insecticides
and securing apparatus for work on
a comparatively email scale In Cali-
fornia this Is a common practice and
nlno In some of our Eastern cities and
has worked excellently
