COST OF NAVAL SHIPS.

..
The great American shipbuilder, Mr..
John Roach, has been looking up the
expenses of the navies Of the world
since the close of the late rebellion in
this country, and finds that the outlay
by our own government is merely insig-
pificant. According to his statement,
England has expended on her navy in
eighteen; years, ,s156. 100000; France,
$4,000 90; Germany, s37,OOO,CO
Russia, s35, 900, 900; Italy, 49,, 100000
Turkey, 81, 900, 900; Brazil, $40 o,O0O, 900;
Chill, $7.000,OO0. Total by the eight
governments named of s3s2, ,OOO, 900.
During the same period it is alleged that
the United States expended only 50, ,OOO,-
600 for new vessels, but it is certain that
q great many millions have been squan-
dered in the repair of worthless vessels.

THE APPLE CROP.

This is the third year in succession of
q poor apple crop, and the apples of the
earth known as potatoes have also been
somewhat deficient in quality since 1880,
that great year of plenty. The potato
crop is not SO deficient this year as the
apple crop, which in New York is very
poor, but the yield will be far less than
was expected by farmers. The acreage
is nearly one sixth greater than year
ago, but the amount available for ship
ping will not be large. Ap average po-
tato crop is about 163, 100000 bushels,
and that of $50 was nearly 1853, 900, 900
bushels; but that of 1881 was less than
115, 100000 bushels, and importation
was extensive. 1t requires about three
bushels per capita annually to supply
our population, exclusive of what is
needed for seed.

The Jordan Canal.

The Rev. W. J. Stacey of Norwich,
England, writes to the Guardian to
direct attention to "the apparent fulfill
ment in three several ways of the Prophet
Ezekiers words in chapter xvii, should
the proposed plan of connecting the
Mediterranean and the Dead Sea be car
ried out:
First-Bearing in mind that Jerusalem
stands 2, ,4OOfeetabove the Mediterranean,
while the Dead Sea lies 1900 feet below
that level, the waters of the Mediterra-
mean would flow far up the valley OF the
Kedron, SO that to one coming from
Jerusalem eastward, they would be first
"ankle deep" then TO the knees, +"
then "to the lolns," then ga river that
/ could not pass over" Note also that
Zechariah xii, 8, fortells communica-
ton by water from Jerusalem both to
the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean,
in summer and winter alike ri. e..
never failing.
Second-The waters of the Dead Sea
". 9-9) are to be healed and filed with
multitude of fish cas- the fish of the
great sea ii. e., the Mediterranean.
The mention of Engedi (v. 10y makes
the reference to the Dead Sea certain.
Third-As the Jordan decends 600 feet
between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead
Sea, the level of the former would be
raised from 600 feet to 700 feet, swallow
ing up Tiberias, and forming sea
northward over the sites of Capernaum.
Bethsaida, Magdala, etc., toward Dam
ascus, Mount Hermon, and the Hauran
wv. 16. ~. This we may we'll regret
as that Jericho and the fountain of Elisha,
and the fords and plain of the Jordan,
should be buried 800 feet below the wa
ters.
In the "Speaker's bible there are
many points of intrest In the comments
upon Ezekiel xvii, bearing directly up
on this project, never thought of when
they were written.

WHO DISCOVERED AMERICA.

Who the first historic discoverer of
America was seems rs impossible OF
final settlement as who wrote the
"Junius letters, or who was the fam
ous Man with the Iron Mask" The
average American gives the honor to
Columbus, and he will probably be the
popular hero of the enterprise through
all time, but the efforts of the congress
OF European Americanists have pretty
conolusively proved that he was not.
The sole object of this organization,
which recently met at Copenhagen, is
to study this question, and, if possible,
ascertain who the first disco7erers and
settlers we're. The results of the labors
of similar historical scholars and organi-
cations have been to show that the first
discoverers of America were Scandina-
vians, but facts and fable are SO inter-
mingled that it is almost impossible to
distinguish them. A scandinavian
book was published in 1888, entitled
American Antiquities; or, Northern
Writers About Anti Columbian Affairs
in America" which attracted great at
tention and was translated into several
languages. The work was edited by
Prof. @. G.. Rain, secretary of the
Royal Society OF Northern Antiquaries,
from eighteen parchment codices and
numerous ancient manuscripts. In
it it was stated that in $50 Bi.
arne Heriselfson visited America,
followed in the early part of the elev-
enth century by Left, Thorwald and
Thorstein, the SONS Of Eric the Red; by
Thorfinn in 1905; by Helge, Finnhage
and the Lady Frejdisa in 1910; by Bish-
op Eric in 1101; by some ecclesiastics in
1866 and 1885, and by seventeen men in
one vessel in 1347. Localities described
by these voyagers have been identified
as Labrador, New Fcrindland, Nova
Scotia, Massachusetts, Cape Cod and
even Florida. Within few years it has
been ascertained that the first historic
discoverer of America was probably
Scot,hmrn named Njcolo Zeno, who to-
gether with his brother and their en-
ployer and patron, Prince zichmini, of
the Orkneys, landed in America and
founded colony sometime about 1880.
The story of their discoveries is told in
little volume now in ne British
Museum, which was translated from the
Italian of the Zenos. 1t is believed that
Columbus himself read this book in his
own language, and that it was the source
