ates a Serious ConfagratiOn.


CHARLOTTEVILLE, VA, Dec. IA
Special.-Yesterday evening a careless boy
set fire to an oil barrel in the cellar Of
Oliviers book store, at the University
and soon a sheet of flame was pouring
through the cellar window into an ad-
joining shed. For time 1t looked as II
the house would be consumed. The ar
nval Of the University Fire Company
was timely, and the fire was soon quench-
ed. The loss from that source was incon-
siderable. 1t was raining hard at the
time, and much loss resulted from the
thoughtless removal Of many books, &c.

DOCKING VERSUS COAL.
One Lesson Learned In English Naval


One Lesson Learned In English Naval
Msneuyers.
One thing already made clear by
these cvolutions at sea is the inn
portance Of docking ships periodically
for the purpose of having accumula-
tions of green seaweed scraped from
every curve below the water line. This
is of paramount Importance as affecting
the speed of battle-ships. and, there
fore, their coal consumption. After
cruising all night at seven knots speed,
which took US at first far toward the
coast of France, and then by change of
course, back to within sight of the
Lizard, every ship hits its place in the
same formation they had fallen into
when leaving Torbay, and one could
not perceive the slightest irregularity
of interval in either line. To keep sta
ton thus when winds are light, the sky
unclouded, as it was last night, and
each ship leaves a wake of phos-
phorescent foam on a calm sea behind
her, is not so very difficult, perhaps
The conditions changed somewhat
this morning, when strong wind from
the east sprang up, and waves ran high
enough to make green curtains for
cabin scuttles. Cnder these changed
conditions, however, the vessels kept
accurately in position, thereby show
ing that the commanding officers had
them complely under control. All this,
simple though it may seem to lands
men, can only be achieved by ceaseless
watchfulness and considera BILE skill in
seamanship, when vessels of SO many
al ~ nd vuh aY
even ships of the same class must burn
very various quantities of coal in order
to keep station. When signals We're
exchanged this II orning we found that
the Arson, perhaps the fastest of all
the admiral class, when in proper or
der, had been compelled to keep her en-
gines going at rate of five and half
revolutions minute faster than those
of her sister ship, the Camperdown, and
that naturally meant much larger
coal consumption.
1t is estimat ted that docking and clean
ing her before she came to sea would
have cost about two hundred pounds.
and for that small outlay she would
have been able to hold her own with
any ship in this or the hostile feet, ex-
cept the Royal Sovereign. In her pres
ent state, however, the additional cost
of coal necessary for her to perform
similar work efficiently will amount to
thousands, and there is the increased
strain on engines to be thought of. Our
friend the enemy need not expect to
catch this ship mapping, nevertheless.
She can still go fast enough for any
emergency that is likely to happen, but
her expenditure for coal will be much
greater than it need have been. Goals,
however, come under one vote, and
docking a ship under another, and men,
hers of parliament who are curious in
such problems may work out for the
reason why economy of a few hundred
pounds in one direction is secured by
the expenditure of thousands in an
other.-London Daily News.

Effect Of the Single Tax.

All wealth being, in the last analysis,
the product Of land and labor, the whole
secret of its just distribution lies in
securing to every man the full reward
of the free application of his labor to
natural opportunities. Any laws, there
fore which tend to restrict the use OF
such Notwithstanding some to
use them more freely than others-will
result in an unfair distribution of the
wealth produced. Remove such restric-
tions, equaliZe the benefit of natural
opportunities, and just distribution of
wealth will follow without further leg
islation to that end.
Under our system of private owner
ship in land we find mines wholly or in
part shut down; great water power un-
used; thousand OF acres of arabic land
untouched by the plow; more than one
third of Manhattan Island unbui1t
upon; while thousands of men are
clamoring for work, and while thou
sands more, painfully toiling for scanty
wages, are forced to contribute from
their pi ttance towards taxes on thrift
and production. exacted to replace the

must pay over to the community the
full rental value of their monopoly, and

Prince Bismarck told a story the
other day of the battlefield of KONG
graft The old emperor, then king of
Prussia, had exposed himself and his
staff to the enemy's fire, and would not
hear of retreating to a safe distance.
At last Prince Bismarck rode up to
him, saying: ''As responsible minister
1 must insist upon your majesty's re-
treat to a safe distance. If your maj
esty were to be killed the victory would
be of no use to u.s." The king saw the
force of this and slowly reiterated, but
in his zeal returned again and again to
the front. ''When l noticed it," Prince
Bismarck went on, 81 only rose in
my saddle and looked at him. He I'M
derstood perfectly, and called out
rather angrily: Yes, am coming

Golden and Land Reform.

The reformation of the land system
had not become political question in
the days of Golden, and when he
thought the time had arrived to make
it SO, the hand of death was upon him.
In the last speech he ever made he said;
IF 1 were twenty-five or thirty years
instead of twice that number, would
take Adam Smith in hand, and would
have a league for free trade in land al
we had league for free trade in corn"
Volumes have been written to explain
what Golden meant, for he died few
days after saying that, but the COM
ments are speculations only. What he
meant will never be definitely known.
That he intended radical change in
the land system is very likely. First.
because he was a radical in opinion and
practice. and secondly, because in o
hundred speeches he had shown his ha-
tired of landlordism and his contempt
for landlords His ridicule of their pre-
tensions turned their wine into vinegar
and he feared them above all other men.
