Efforts have been made to close this, and the footpath and the, adjoining land have been plowed up. After a meeting, the 3,000 marched in pairs over the plowed ground to make a quarter mile long footpath. Professor H. Biles said the classic dictum used to be that “on- ly numbers could annihilate,” but it was now antiquated! One Dread- nought could have annihilated Nel- son’s fleet at Trafalgar and for the matter of that the French and Spanish ships to boot. He was far from believing that the Kattleship limit had been reachedjn vessels of 28,000 or 30,000tons.

The British Society of Naval Architects has been discussing the size of battleships and inclines to the opinion that the limit has by no means been reached. The dis- cussion brought out \the' ratio. of growth\in England. Battleships have increased in the last ten years 60 per cent. in displacement, 35 per cent. in length, 17 per cent. in breadth. In speed more than two knots an hour has been gained, and the weight of metal discharged in a broadsidehes made the amazâ€" ing growth from 4,000 to 12,000 pounds. Considerin the matter of cent, it was said t at two of the newest vessels could be built for about the price of three of the earlier and smaller loreâ€"Dreadnought type. The two modern vessels would, how- ever, take into action a main armâ€" ament one-third greater thap that of the three small vessels combin- ed, and their working cost and ex- pensiveness in maintainance and repalrs would be less. From these consideratlons Professor J. J. Welch thought the policy of buildâ€" ing big ships was justified. The unsettled question,. one which navu1 al officers could best answer, he} said, was whether ships of still greater size would not prove an ad- vantage. 311170113 6 CLAIMED OLD RIGHT.

The branding of criminals, whieh Judge Rentoul sugests might be advantageously revived for the benefit of deported aliens, was abâ€" olished in England in 1778, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Until then, this punishment was inflicted in open court, generally in the pre- sence of the judge, the necessary implementsâ€"the iron brand, the chafing dish and the "iron gripper ,for keeping the hand steadyâ€"be- ing always in readiness. The us- ual brand was an “R” applied to the left shoulder. Child stealing, &c., however, were at one time punished by branding the offender with “R” on the shoulder (for rogue), “‘M” on the right hand for manslayer), and “T” on the aft hand (for thief); All mothers can put away'anxiety regarding their suffering children when they have Mother Graves’ Worm Exterminator to give relief.

The Japanese recognizethat their argricultural resources are limited on account of the'peculiar topogra- phical and climatic features of the country. The agricultural land has been subjected to intense cul- ture for centuries and cannot be improved much mxfl'e. The empire is thus precluded from becoming an important contributor to the world’s food supplies. It will do well if it can manage to produce sufficient food products for its own use. When the population increases it will necessarily become dependent upon foreign countries for food. Conseâ€" 'quently, the administrators have for some years aimed at making Ja- pan a manufacturing and shipping country. They have taken England as a model in doing this. Japan is not nearly so well endowed with natural resources as England is, but the progress lately made in de- veloping Japan’s shipping and ma-‘ Vnufacturing industries is remarkC gable. ’ Cecileâ€"“What would you give to have Such hair as mine 1” Jeanne â€"-“I don’t knowâ€"What did you give '1’ ’ Cholera. and all summer comâ€" plaints are So quick in their action that the cold hand 0f death is upon the victims before they are aware that. danger is near. ‘If attacked d0 not delay in getting the proper medicine.

Japanese engineers have 'shown a good aptitude for mining and metallurgical work and they have been well backed up by local capitalists.
