THE New York Herald in well con
sidered Article on the proposed resurrection
Of our navy, remarks that while eve have
plenty of navy yards, not one of them has
the machinery or plant needed for build
ing a st,el cruiser. We are glad of it, for
we do not believe that navy-yard would
pre-. luce the kind of ship required. They
can be best built by contract, aud, as we
want fifty of them, and want them soon,
the expenditure is great enough to tempt
our own capitalists and skilled mechanics
and engineers to establish the requisite
ship-yards.
1--WE have already at Chester and Whining
ton yards which can be easily made capable
of TIE work Naval engineers and con-
structors are the proper men to superintend
construction and see to it that the condi-
tions of the contract are fulfilled, that
speed and coal capacity are in the new
ships, SO that if there is a failure on the
contractors part we shall not be saddled
with incapable ships. But the contractors
must be allowed to plan, as theirs will be
the risk Of failure.
THAT is the way to get a new navy, and
we have described the kind of ships it
should consist of. We would like to know
what the Secretary of the Navy thinks of
tbis-what Mr.. Harris, chairman of the
Naval Committee, thinks of it. And we
hope when Congress comes to discuss the
bill for a now navy-which we understand it
is preparing that it will take 'e that we
get new navy, and not merely new and
monstr0us job. F"
Our esteemed contemporary might have
added that the building Of public ships
under contract in private yards is an effect
i've mode of promoting the shipbuilding
industry. 1t has been the custom of the
British admiralty, ever since Great Britain
began to be naval power, to allot certain
proportion of the new tonnage each year
to tie lowest and best bidder to be built in
private yards.
. We have taken the trouble to go over the
records, beginning with Charnock's Ma
rine Architecture" published at the close
of the last century, and we find that, on an
average, AS per cent. Of the British navy
has been the product of this contract
system.
At this time the proportion of contract
work is less than it used to be, so far as the
hulls ofships are concerned but 1t is more
than made up in the amount of contract
work on engines, machinery and fittings
At all events, it is safe to say that now, as
heretofore, very nearly fifty per cent. of the
construction fund Of the British navy finds
its way every year into the accounts OF
private ship-yards and engine shops.
We are glad to see so powerful an advo-
cate as the Herald fayoring the adoption OF
similar policy by our own Government.

position from printers case, and therefore
is perfectly familiar with every detail of
Government printing. Childs halls from
Tifiin, Ohio, where he was connected with
one OF the newspapers Of the place. He has
every qualification for the place, aud
furthermore has a recommendation in the
war, and was severely wounded. Because
of the i'll health of Mr.. Defrees much of the
work Of the direction Of Government print

Childs fol many months past. He is

one Of James, Acts.

National Republican.
The day that Postmaster-General Howe
entered upon his present duties he went TO
the Department aud was introduced to his
predecessor Immediately after the intro
duction Mr. Howe was engaged in eonver-
sation by some of those present and, while
thus engaged, James slipped into another
room, and in a few moments signed the
commissions Of about dozen prominent
postmasters. When this was done he re-
turned with smirk on his face, witnessed
the swearing in Of his successor, turned
over the Department TO him, and left. Mr..
Howe found out what had been done the
next morning, aud instantly ordered the
return Of the surreptitious commissions.
As fast as they were received they were
cancelled, so that after all James little trick
availed him nothing. But it showed the
diminutive, sneaking character Of the man
in q very striking light.

A journalist of this city was yesterday
summoned as juryman in the Criminal
Court, and asked to be excused on the
ground that his time was fully occupied
and that the paper on which he was en-
gagged would be Inconvenience by his ab-
sence. Judge Pinkney at once granted his
request, and remarked that he was op-
posed to taking newspaper men from their
duties and placing them on a jury unless
they SO wished it. There were, he said,
sufficient citizens to choose from with
out taking those whose services are so
indispensable to the public.

new name, and with the February (mid-
winter number, and the adoption of the
new cover-design, by Elihu Vedder, the
name of ScriJner's Monthly will no longer
be continued as the subtitle. Since the
change of name there has been decided
increase in the sale of recent numbers of

ing the last year of ScriJneS's Monthiyswas

copies of November were sold, against an
average of 1920 for the twelve months
preceding. The recent growth Of 81. Mich

In the "Reeolleetions of a.Drummer Boy"

sage; "'Here they come, boys Well

house, can see the long lines of gray
sweeping up in fine style over the fields T;
but feel the colonels hand ON my shoul-

ing yourself in that way" Now, there is
the most natural bit of army narrative that
has appeared in all the marvellous army
stories that have gone into print That
thrilling spectacle Of the colonel holding
back the drummer boy That would be a
splendid thing to tell at a G. A. Il. camp
fire. Old soldiers will remember that II
took about all the cOlonel's time, during q
fight, to hold back the rash, impetuous

-Croll, in his "Climate and Time"
says; Here is one way of conveying to
the mind some idea of what a million of
years is. Take a strip of paper an inch
broad or more, aud eighty-three feet four
inches in length, and stretch it along the
wall of a large hall, OF round the walls Of
an apartment somewhat over twenty feet
square. Recall TO memory the days Of
your boyhood, so as to get some ad, quate
conception of what period of hundred
years is. Then mark off from one of the
ends of the strip one-tenth of an inoh.
The one-tenth of en- inch will represent
one hundred years, aud the entire length
of the strip million of years. 1t is we'll
worth making the experiment, just in or
der TO feel the striking impression that
it produces on the mind. Could we stand
upon the edge of gorge, mile and o
half in depth, that had been cut out Of
the solid rock by a tiny stream scarcely
visible at the bottom of this fearful aby 8,
and were we informed that this little
streanllet was able to wear OF annually
only one-tenth of an inch from its rocky
bed, what would our conception be of the
prodigious length of time that this stream
must have taken to excavate the gorgeY
We should certainly feel startled when,
on making the neces sSary calculations, we
found that the stream had performed this
enormous amount of work in something
less than a million of years."

THE LIFE OF A ROSE.
BY LoUisE I. bstt.

A rose was born at morn.
All, she was full Of grace;
Bright was her crimson robe,
And winsome was her face.
A butterfly came to WOO,
He sought her for his bride;
Rose gave a scornful look
And spurned him froln her eide.
Then came a humming bird,
Who whispered in her ear,
"Will you be my own, lover
Say, will you be my deari"
Deep in the roses heart,
Lies love yet to be;
So the faithful humming bird,
Rose did not deign to see.
The sun bent lis false face
To kiss her DER and o'eT
Rose blushed the deepest red
And thrilled TO inmost core.
The sun lie stayed an hour,
To pass the time away.
Then said, "Good-by, sweet rose,
can no longer stay"
Sad was the roses plight,
She hung her lovely head;
AT morn the rose was born,
The evening found her dead.
