Americans are declared to be the
greatest newspaper readers in the world,
and the statistics seem to sustain this
declaration. In cities, especially, al
most everybody who can read, takes
from one to half dozen newspapers,
and nobody considers himself we'll
posted if he consults only his own par
ty organ. By glancing at all sides
OF question men are apt to become
more liberal and cosmopolitan.

Seventeen of the most eminent physicians Of
New York City have presented petition to
Secretary McCul!och, calling his attention
to the danger of allowing the importation OF

ever, we shall now be treated to protests from
rag dealers against euch interference with
their business-which, Of course, in their eyes
is Of far greater consequence than the health
of the nation.

The revolution in naval architecture

The revolution IN naval architecture
and armament has been going on so rap
idly for ten years past, that the far-famed
British navy is declared by home writ
ers to be behind the age. There is a
race between, so to speak, protection
and projection; between the resisting
power of the hull and the attacking
power of shot and shell, and no sooner
is new armor devised for the former
than new gun is invented for the lat
ter, so that it is impossible to tell
which is ahead now, or which will come
out ahead at the finish. In the opinion
of the highest authorities, no armor
can be made which is absolutely proof
against any projectile; but until this
opinion is finally Endorsed and accept
ed the race will continue, and costly
experiments be tried with no perma-
ncntly satisfactory results.
