RICHMOND PALLADIUM

. Ze!: El III SEVERE STORM FLEET IS TOSSED BUT WEATHERS IT Big Fleet of Battleships Rides Gracefuily Through the Angry Waters of Hampton Roads. ADMIRAL SPERRY HAS LEFT FOR WASHINGTON He Will Retain His Command Of the Great Fleet, Which News Delights Both Officers And Men. Port Monroe, Va., Feb. 23. After be-; ing flooded in brilliant sunlight all ; morning the American battleship fleet '' was swept by another storm yesterday i afternoon. ' The big battleships and cruiEers did not suffer, but the steam launches made decidedly heavy weather 'of it. Two sailors on launches were tossed overboard, but both were rescued. A launch belonging to the battleship Rhode Island was partly wrecked. A party of women was aboard and when the boat crashed into a side boom of the armor clad several fainted. The launch drifted rapidly away from the ship, the engine having caught a "dead center" in reversing. Another little steamer was' sent out, but the helpless launch had drifted more than a half mile in the choppy sea before being rescued. Sperry to Retain Command. The water was the roughest known in recent years in Hammpton Roads. Many tea and dinner parties planned on board the various ships had to ba postponed. Shore boats did not attempt to make the battleship lines during the storm. Rear-Admiral Sperry left for Washing today. He goes to consult with the navy department authorities as to the further plans for the fleet. The officers were much gratified by the reports from Washington today that Rear Admiral Sperry would continue as commander in chief of the battleship fleet until his retirement in September. The invitation of Norfolk to officers and men to visit that city on Saturday was accepted. One hundred and forty officers and 2,000 blue jackets will join a parade in which several hundred regular troops from Fortress Monroe will participate. Distribution of Fleet Planned. Washington. D. C, Feb. 23. Secretary Newberry is .arranging the disposition of the vessels of the Atlantic battleship fleet pending the reassembling of the fleet May 13 for the summer maneuvers off the New England coast. All the battleships are to be overhauled at their home navy yards proceeding thence within the next two weeks. The third squadron under Rear Admiral Arnold, after completion of some minor repairs on the North Carolina, will proceed to Cuban waters for their winter target practice. On returning the third squadron will be abolished and Rear Admiral Arnold will become head of one of the naval boards at Washington. The flagship Maine will be placed in reserve and the Idaho, Mississippi and New Hampshire will take the places in the north division of the Atlantic fleet of the Illinois, Kearsarge and Kentucky, which will be placed in reserve.

A GREAT RECORD MADE BY BURTON As Chairman of Rivers and Harbors Committee He Benefited Nation. HE WILL SUCCEED FORAKER THE YEARS HE PRESIDED OVER WATERWAYS COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE HE MADE THE FINEST IMPRESSION. Washington, D. C, Feb. 23. Representative Theodore E. Burton, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee of the house, who has reported the last river and harbors appropriation bill of the GOth congress and the last waterways bill with which he will be associated as chairman, can look back over his years as head of this great committee with unfeigned satisfaction. He has made a most remarkable record, not only as a legislator but as a practical, far-seeing builder of the nation's waterways. Mr. Burton had the unusual honor accorded him of an unanimous election as chairman of the rivers and harbors committee by the members thereof, speaker Reed at the time holding that such procedure was permissable on the resignation of the prior chairman. Mr. Burton at the time of his election was the rangingmember of the committee. This action was taken at the beginning of the third session of the 33th congress in the fall of 1808, since which date Mr. Burton, who retires on the 4th of March -from the house of representatives has continued to be head of the committee. The soon-to-be senator from Ohio, succeeding Mr. Foraker. first went on the rivers and harbors committee in 1803 and since that time as member and chairman, Mr. Burton has the rare distinction of having assisted in making approximately half of the total provisions for rivers and harbors since the foundation of the governmentDeepens the Harbors. Nearly three hundred million dollars have been appropriated between the years 1803 and 1909 for our rivers, harbors and canals and improvements upon five thousand miles of,, waterways have been initiated or ocntinued during his term as chairman. Nearly all the harbors of the country have been materially deepened or enlarged since Mr. Burton became chairman, especially- the great harbors of New York, Philadelphia, Galveston and Mobile. Among other important improvements the present chairman of the rivers and harbors committee has . seen accomplished are the provision, for a 33 foot channel at the- mouth of the Mississippi; widening and deepening waterways of the great lakes, including all of the. prominent, harbors thereon. Mr. Burton can Jay claim, to. never paving had an- amendment put on the

Feltman's Shoes have stood the test of time. They have been sold to Richmond and Wayne county people long enough to establish a reputation. Surely they must be the best in quality, first in style and comfort, or regular customers and two stores to accommodate our trade would not be necessary or possible.

IZES OF BOOKSrMeaning of the Terms Folio, Quarto, Octavo and Duodecimo. The words "folio," "quarto," "octavo," "duodecimo" and the like have almost, If not quite, lost their original meaning. At first they had reference only to the number of leaves into which the sheets used in making the book were folded. Thus If these sheets were folded once the took was called a folio; If the sheets were folded twice, so as to form four leaves, the book was called a quarto; if they were folded four times, so as to form eight leaves, the book was called an pctavo, and so on. The duodecimo, or 12mo, is an irregular size. To make it the sheet must be folded so as to form twelve leaves. Fold one-third of the width of a sheet lengthwise on itself. Next fold the paper across its breadth in the center. Next fold the sheet across its length that is, fold the two leaves on the four. Finally fold it again across and in such shape that it may easily be sewed in with others to form a book. i But though, strictly and historically, quarto, octavo, etc., have reference solely to the manner of folding the sheet, they are, as a matter of common practice, used to specify the sizes of books. If the sheets on which books are printed were of uniform size a quarto page would be as unvarying an area as a square foot or an acre, and before the invention of machines for making paper there was such uniformity to be found in the sizes of sheets. But when paper making machines were introduced and the use of molds was abandoned sheets came to be made of all dimensions. As 'a result quartos and octavos bad all sorts of dimensions, and the terms, when used strictly to indicate how the sheet was folded, became worthless as designations of size. The use of the old terms was nevertheless not abandoned, but instead they were first used to indicate a rather wide range of sizes and finally were attached to certain more definite sizes, without reference to the method of folding. The practice of the publisher nowadays is first to determine what size of page be wants. The sheet he uses will be large or small, according to the capacity of the press at his disposal. On that sheet he may print, say, eight octavo pages, or be may print thirtytwo, but be will call the book an octavo, though by its folding it should be called either a quarto or a 16mo. In other words, the publisher calls his book by the name of that one of the old sizes to which it happens to come nearest. The confusion resulting from the changes noticed here has not passed away yet, but efforts have been made to give definiteness to the old words. New York Tribune. .
