ern naval construction. Each vessel
will contain three smoke tunnels 100
feet high, or higher by thirty or forty
feet than any smokestaGkg on naval or

The bureau OF naval intelligence has

state in detail the location OF the coaling
stations OF the different governments,
shIpyarde, repair stations, docks, coal
capacity OF stations, the quality OF coal
and other matters relating to the coal
supply Of vessels bound on long voyages.
The book will show conclusively in his
respect that the United States is far
worse of than any other country pre-
tendingto be a naval power, pos 'essing as
It does, only three coaling stations, VIZ :
IN Honolulu, Lapaz, Mexico, and Samoa.
Great Britain has important stations in
all her possessions in many places where
coal can he landed from England for the
use OF her vessels of war as well as her
merchant marine. All are strongly for
titled and garrisoned. The book will
! further show that should the United
States 90 to war there would practically
b. no foreign ports outside OF her three
stations, all of which are on the Pacific
ocean, where she could hope to get coal.

Chicagos far famed lake breeze had driven
the thermometrical mercury down into the

the three Field boys did not come home al

Dinner was held off for them until almost y

They had seen the steam rising rom the
