has been decreasing, the total pro-
duction has increasedto a remarkable
extent. In 1886, the Columbia river
produced more than half the total pack;
in 1891, 1t canned less than one-fourth.
Experienced Gamers estimate that the
proportion will not be as great this
year, in view of the increasing pro-
portion which is expected in British
Columbia where five new canneries will
be at work
Columbia river salmon has not dete-
riorated with the decline in quantity.
The royal Chinook holds its place in
the worlds markets. The brands have
become familiar as household words
in the trade. The public at large as well
as the epicures discern the good quality
of the fish that frequent these waters,
and they appreciate the skill and are
observed in every stage OF the process
by which salmon are cooked and pre-
served so well that the contents of tins
opened after fourteen years, have not
shown the least trace of decay. This
high reputation is worth money in the
American and foreign markets, and
care will be taken by the Astoria and
other Gamers, to maintain it intact,
during the coming season.
The number of canneries In operation
this season is 20. The only new one is
the American Star, at Ilwaco, which it
was proposed to keep idle If the COM
bination had gone into effect.

'any's factory, which was built last
ear and is now in active operation. 1t
lad recently contracts for the entire
upply of three canneries, and is also
Ioing a fair business in providing tins

apacity, and has a pay roll which adds
considerably to the prosperity Of the
ity. Only white labor is employed.

Another fact demonstrated is that the
relative effect on the vessel struck and
on the ram is in proportion TO
the speed of the ram. Perhaps
this needed no demonstration, being
a plain principle of mechanics. Speed
and rapidity Of evolution are of course
great considerations, and froL. this we
may conclude that size is not essential,
nor even desirable. Or to put 1t in anoth-
er way: A million dollars spent in build
ing two rams carrying 100 men each is a
better investment than if spent in the
construction of one ram carrying 200 men.
A moderate size with good speed is the
best, and in my opinion the Katahdin is
Just about right.
In ram fighting the success or failure is
determined in so few minutes-the rush
and struggle being so exciting and the
dangsr apparently so terrible-that only
the coolest headed officers are fitted to
command rams. Everything that can be
done to mask an attack of rams and cover
their eyolutiOns is as important as in tor
pedo boat attacks. Drilling in ram hand
ling, can, IN the nature of things be like
real war, and so IL appears wise to have
rams which must depend on ramming
only, for II they have guns or torpedoes
and the crew is drilled to handle them
they win in the excitement of battle de-
instead Of on the ram. The great success
Of the Queen of the West and the Monarch
is largely due to their commanders being
cram men who were enthusiasts in
their profession
No better overhanging bow could be de-
signed for a ram than the spoon bow of
the "whalebacls" She is very fast and
provided with water ballast tanks by
which any desired trim may be obtained.

down by the stern. Her bottom is per-
fectly smooth, with fat keel and six
inches deadrise.
The British ironclad Camperdown,
which rammed the Victoria, belongs to
what has been termed the Admiral class
Of ironclads.
Imagine a great casemate battle ship
attacked by two whalebacs rams under
cover of night, fog, or battle smoke.
They could turn twice to the great ship
turning once, and if they worked in con-
cert there is little doubt but that one at
least could get an opening for a rush at
right angles either before or abaft the
casemate. Crashing through the light
superstructure she would slide over the
gentle slope of the protective deck; no
matter what punishment she herself
might suffer, the great ship would I'M
doubtedly be sunk If the overhangiug
bow of the Kaiser Max could do such
work steanng at such an Insignificant
speed. would not the "whalebacks" make
formidable rams}
In conclusion, it seems to the writer
that the financial question should be care
fully considered. A battle ship costs,
perhaps, a 900, 600 to construct, and about
$500, 900 a year to keep in commission; or,
allowing the interest TO be A per cent. it
costs the government over $3.50, 600 year
to own battle ship.
This money would build a Katahdin or
maintain q great fleet of .'whalebacks"
subject to the needs of the nation.

LIVELY CARPET RAGS"
A Three-year-old Caught Playing
With a Pair Of Copperheads.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Three-year-OId Caught Playing
With a Pair Of Copperheads.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Harrisburg, July l5-F'or some reason
it has always been tho general belief
among the people who live in the noun
tains in York, Lancaster and other coun-
ties where copperhead snakes abound,
that this venomous snake will not bite
children. A well-hnoWn family lives on
the York county side of the Susquehanna.
The family consists of Jacob Loan, his
wife and two children, the youngest o
little girl 3 years old. Copperheads arc
always uncomfortably plentiful in that
locality, but this season they have BEEN
moro numerous than usual The haying
and harvest hands have killed from three
to ten day during the past week on the
Loan farm
One day last week the little 3-year-
old was playing in the front yard, and her
mother noticed her sitting in the grass
near the front gate. Every now and then
she would be heard laughing gleefully,
and Mrs. Loan finally walked out 10 sec
what was amusing the child so much.
When the little child saw her mother
coming, she called out TO her;
Come, mamma, and see the live carpet
ragsI"
At the same time she held up to her
mother a snake which she grasped in the
middle of the body and which twisted and
squrmed in the air. Mrs. Loan saw at once
that it was a copperhead. Although she
was almost swOoning with terror, the
child's mother acted with rare presence
of mind II occurred to her that if she
showed her alarm by crying out to the
child the latter would undoubtedly be-
come frightened, and the change that
would naturally follow in her handling or
sudden dropping of the snake might an
ger the copperhead and cause IL TO bite.
With a great effort Mrs. Loan said, quiet
ly and cOaxingly
Fetch 1t to mamma, dear. DON'T hurt
it."
''But there's two of EN-, mamma" re-
piled the little girl I'm fetch 'em both"
She reached down and picked up anoth-
err cOpperhead that lay in the grass, and
which Mrs. Loan had not seen, and came
toddling along the path toward her moth
err with them She retained her calm
couple of yards of her spoke to her and
said:
Put them on the ground, darling, and
let mamma see them walk
This seemed TO please the child, and
she placed the copperheads in the path.
The two snakes caught sight of Mrs.
Loan, and instantly their manner changed.
The copper spot on the top of their heads
began to deepen in color. as it does when
this snake is euraged and they both
made toward the child's mother showing
great rage The little girl clapped her
hands and started to catch the snakes
again. Her mother rushed out of the
path and around the snakes, and snatch
ing the child up in her arms few to the
house and into it, closed the door behind
her, and fell to the floor in dead faint.

At a recent dinner SAYS the New York
