NATURES RESERVOIR,

The floods which have lately visited

Blasting the Palisades.

Until recently, the Palisades of the
lower Hudson have escaped the hands
of the contractors and quarrymen, al
though there are few spots in this
country where richer deposits of gran
@ are found. Now, however, a firm
of contractors, by exp oding dynamite,
5000 pounds at a time, is making a
huge excavation in the front of the
Palisades, which will in short time
transform them from things of beauty
to ordinary stone quarries.

accredited with marches as suiting the

accordingly. till at dessert the covers

Great Britain's Navy Undermined.

Great Britain's Navy Undermined.
The one great lesson of the British
naval maneuvers which have Just been
concluded appears to be that the navy
is undermined to serious degree
On this point all the correspondents
are agreed. Although nothing like the
number of ships have been commits
stoned which would be required in
the case of a real war, it
was impossible 10 find proper crews
for them. The naval reserve, ac-
cording to the London Daily Chroni-
Gle, was drawn up as it was never
drawn up before, and yet ships were
modified with about two-thirds of
their proper compliments, and in some
cases scarcely a half of their proper
complement of officers, acting sub
ieutenants-that is to say, midship-
men-being put to keep watch end
generally do the duties that ought to
fall upon lieutenants." The Daily
Chronicle makes a demand for hort
service system. 1t proposes that lads
entered at from fourteen to fifteen
years should pass through the navy
and after from ten to twelve years
service go into the mercantile marine,
with a small annual sum as retainer.
