Captain Mahan was asked some questions by an Englishman about the battleship of the future, and this was his answer: Military superior ity in warfare depends upon heavy blows struck at the enemy's organ ized fighting force. Such blowsmust he struck by massed forces, the units of which should be under the unity of command essential to success. The same aggregate of force in two or three different vessels will rarely be equal to that concentrated in one. be- cause of the difficulty of insuring mu- cual support. This means heavy yes sels or battleships. Of course, like an other statements, this means limi- tation. The size of vessels Is condi- toned not only by construction con alterations, but by the fact that you need to scatter at times as well as concentrate. This involves the neces- ,ity of 5;viding your force into sew ersll vvss s. because n ship once built cannot l,G ,.ivided Between the two horns oI the dilemma you must strike q mean, but always battleship.'

''One form of amusement that children have now that they didn't use to have when was a boy, said MT. Bozzle, ''is the fun of busting the bag. Nowadays many things come from the grocers and elsewhere in paper bags, and 'Le' me bust the bag is familiar household request, The youngster takes the emptied bag, and with his thumb and forefin- ger around the open end of it he forms a neck with an opening through which he may inflate it. Then with a sudden whack he brings the bag down upon the other hand and explodes it with a report whose loudness is determined by the size of the bag, the fullness of it's imitation, the tightness of the grip around the closed neck and the force of the blow. The modern small boy ought to be grateful for this continuous do mestic Fourth of July, one of the many privileges that he enjoys that were quite unknown to his fathers. New York Sun.

Early Grssk walsrwork..

The early Greeks depended upon natural springs and cisterns bewn in the rock, but the insufliciency of the supply led to daring engineering works AS early as 625 B. c. . tun. nel 1. POO feet long, broad and feet high was cut through a hill which stood between Samos and coveted supply of water. Fifty or sixty years later extensive works of similar nature were constructed to bring wa ter tO Athens from she hills of Fly mettus, Pentelicus and Parnes. Two conduits from Hymettus passed un. der the head of the nissus and were cut in the rock for most of the dis tance. This conduit and one from Pentelicps met in large reservoir just outside Athens, and from this the water was distributed through out the city by underground channels. Some of the ancient aqueducts con tinue to osupply Athens at the present time. Detroit Tribune.

 Their Marriage.

AhtAh ANt&Aases
 The residence of Judge and Mrs. E. W. Wells, and the grounds sur rounding it were brilliantly illum- mated last night. The 1lth Infantry band from Whipple discoursed sweet strains of music from the lawn without. while within the handsome residence was assembled a merry throng of ladies and gentle men from reScott and Wbipple.
 The occasion of it all was the twenty-hfth anniversary of the mar riage of Judge Wells and his most estimable wife. The affair was planned and carried out by their daughter Miss Helen, as a surprise to them, and it was not until yes terday afternoon, on their return from visiting some friends that they were aware of the fact that arrange ments had been made for the cele- bration of their silver wedding. It proved most agreeable surprise to them, however, as the spacious rooms of their residence were crowded with ladies and gentlemen to extend congratulations on the suspicious occasion.
 Mrs. \. O. Murphy, sister of Mrs. Wells, Mrs. F. A. Tritle, Mrs. J. l.. Fisher and Mrs J. c. Herndon as sisted in receiving and the evening passed of very pleasantly to all.

Ants Which Protect the Beautiful Flower

 On the fork of tree few feet above our heads is perched one of the largest orohids we have eyer eeSn. A mass of aerial roots, bulbs and ieAvess four feet through, is surmCnnted by a Hcora of lnpg, weiplike tin1ger. stems standing up 10 feet beyond the leaSes and gracefully arching over. Now, A. dess E.C! ca5isa lsST l. .es a yoS ..sss,. gs, the flowers against those bush ropes The neguo takes, bis cgtlas and be gins ehopping away ct some Of tho vines which haugini frDht and pFesl ently Is clasping the tree on level with the orchid. we 'see him sugl l0nee at tbe plant and then slide down the tree, rubbing his hahds and swear ing loudly. s'Wliat fis taD, matteri Why dent you, get the plantf" says the collector. Ar0o much ansses-s bite too bad. replies he. with an in- jured look. as be rubs his shining black skin. ''Oh. but we must get it and if ths negroes arc afraid I'll go up myself. cries our friend.
 Up he climbs end is down again much faster than the negro. Stand ing on thelank, ha quickly strips on his coat and picks the great black ants from his neckan handA ruls the sore places, grumbling and sore iy discomfited. Looking up, we SC the plant almost black with insects, which had evidently pat themselves in hattie array and were prepared to fight for their home among the roots of the orchid Not yet van Quished, our collector cuts long bamboo from t elump growing close by, and somewhat yiciousiy com. mences 10 loosen the orchid frum it's perch by poking at 1t from below.

Then the ants begin to swarm down the stick. and presently q few bites on,the hand make our friend drop it into the stream.
 Reluctantly We are at last obliged to leave it alone, and proceed onward. hoping for better luck with the next plant. Padding along, We think of this wonderful contrivance of nature to protect the orchid from noxious insects, and even, as in our case, from human despoilers. We do not find orchid collecting so very easy, for the nests of the maribunta (the wasp of Guiana) often hang dangerously near to a covered specimen and warn of intruders. Sometimes these are not seen until the little insects are buzzing about our ears, and then there is nothing left but to get of as soon as possible. A nest which hangs in front of 8 fine brslssia, ard effectu- ally bars the way, is blown to bits by the gun of one of our party. Then we secure the plant and paddle on before the homeless ones find out what is the matter.

Last Sunday Dr. Sewall was at tending a child of James Carter at Walnut Grove. which was very sick with inflammation of the bowels. It was necessary that a particular medicine should be administered as speedily as possible, and there was no nearer point to procure it than Prescott, forty-two miles distant Accordingly a young man named George Pierce was furnished the prescription at 9.l5 a. m. and started on the trip, we'll mounted, and leading one horse. At Govern ment Hill he changed horses and rode into Prescott, where he re- mained three quarters of an hour while the prescription was being filled. Here he got fresh horse and started on the return trip, ar- irving at Walnut Grove at precisely 8 o'clock, making the round trip of eighty four miles in exactly five hours travelling time. When the mountainous country is considered. this is a remarkable ride, and the young man deserves great credit for making it. The medicine produced the desired effect and the child is now rapidly recovering.

 Coeonino County Republican Platform.
 The county republican convention of Coconino county adopted the following platform:
 We reaffirm our allegiance to the national republican party. aud call attention to the unparalleled dis aster which has resulted to every interest in the United States, with the exception of favored trusts, the pampered pets of the faithless democracy, as a consequence of the fatuous abandonment of American principles, by a misguided people in 1892.
 We endorse the nominees Of the territorial republican convention, and pledge to them our hearty sup, port and urge upon voters of the terHtofy.the expediency of sending a delegate to congress whose pohti- cal convictions are not repugnant to the vital interests of Arizona. and whose energy and ability will be devoted solely for the welfare of her sons and daughters.
 We believe in efficiency as we'll as economy in the administration Of county and territorial affairs, and pledge the nominees of this con- vention to a rigid observance of these essentials of good government.
 We denounce the democratic party for the almost complete extinction of the sheep and cattle industry of this county, through the nameless miscarriage passed by the last democratic congress, under the name of tariff reform.
 That the wealth of this country has shrunkeE beyond human en- deavor, and in our own county, in- solyency has taken the place of prosperity.
 That wage earners who, under republican rule. received a just compensation for their toll, are now of necessity being employed at a reduction of from D to 50 per cent of the old scale. That gloom and despondency have taken the place of contentment and peace.
 We are in favor of the free coin age of silver at a ratio of Is to |.
 We are in favor of protection to American industries, that good wages can be paid to our wage earners.
 We charge the democracy with the evasion of every promise, and the violation of every pledge, aud of giving to foreign nations, by legislation, what they could not take by force of arms.
