no direction is reform 80 urgently re-
quired as in the manner of baling the
cotton stro ngly, so that it may be
shipped abr Dad in good condition.
The pack ing of American cotton is
source of fruitful complaint by man
ufacturers. Theawork is so carelessly
done that when the bales reach their
destinatio several of the iron bands
are missing and the jute covering is
so torn that the cotton is exposed to
mud, fire, water and theft. These
losses, it is needless to- add, do not
fall upon the manufacturer, but on
the producer and, as if these were
not enough, he must also pay extra
freight, as his imperfectly pressed
bales occupy more than double the
space needed by the compact Indian
and Egyptian bales. The illustration
shows plainly the great difference in
tie method of baling and the INSULT
cheney of seven hoops to the bale-the
average used by the Southern planter.
1t IS plain that more secure packing,
much closer pressing and greater
care in covering or wrapping up would
be of inestimable and permanent bene-
fit to the cotton trade of the United
States.

Mexico has a population OF 49,
100000, a standing army OF. IS, 600

men that can be called into service in

A Remarkable Herring.

In many respects the herring is one
of the most remarkable of living
things. 1t was calculated three years
ago that no less than II, 1000 miles OF
herring netting were cast yearly in
the North Sea alone. :
Two of the species of whales feed
exclusively upon herrlngs, while the
cod is a most voracious foe. DR..
Neil, the naturalist, calculated that
the one colony of gannets at st. Kilda
consumed annually 214, 900, 900 OF
herrings. Yet it is not, as fishes go,
gifte,l with very large fertility in re-
production. While the mackerel has
been estimated to produce 500, 900
eggs, the sole 100000 and the cod
8, 1000 the herring is said to spawn
only 5000 at time.-Mail and Ex-

been President ever since that day,
with the exception of the term from
1880 to 1884, when General Gonzales
was President. His present term will
expire in 1897, but it is said he will
succeed himself, there being now no
law or precedent limiting the number
of terms President may serve.
General Diaz derives great strength
from the fact that the business men
of the republic and the foreign capi-
talists interested in Mexico, as well as
the people at large, demand his con-
tinuance in Office. There is On i'm
preston that it would be dangerous
to the republic to have Diaz retire.
It might mean revolution, or a series
of small wars inaugurated by men am
bilious to rule. Confidence in popu-
lar government is not yet thoroughly
established in Mexico. In fact, it is
doubtful whether one can say popu-
lar government is yet firmly estab-
lished, for the elections seem to be
largely matters of form only. So
Mexico is fortunate in having at the
head of her affairs man with record
brilliant enough and spirit and
bearing dashing enough to make him
q popular hero, and at the same time
prudence enough to win to his sup
port the men who appreciate the value
of a stable government. His admins
tration has been one of progress in
Mexico. The discouragements once
met by Americans and others desiring
to engage in business in the republic
have largely disappeared.
In fact, the principal duty of one of
the Government departments Is to en-
courage immigration and promote the
development of the country. Every
inducement is offered to foreign cepi-
tslists. There are many Americans in
Mexico, some of them representing
large investments, and they all praise
Diaz and hope for his continuance in
Office. President Diaz has compare
lively modest home of his own in the
city, but his residence as President,
which he occupies nearly all the year,
is at the Castle of Chapultepec, aplace
known in school histories, because it
was here one of the fercest fights of
the war of 1s47 took place. Chapul-

- A well-known English expert on
naval matters, Mr.. Laird Cloves,
Urges the building of three-decked
ironclads. The old wooden three
decker was one of the most magnifi.
cent ships afoat. The new one would
be the most tremendous.
1t has been pointed out that the
three-decker has been the highest
form of fighting ship in the many
periods of naval history. The trireme,
the most complicated fighting ma
chine of classical times, had three
banks of rowers. When guns were
introduced on ships one-decked ship

from intrusion. This is long es-
tablished custom, and, of course,
gives no offense. At the Presidents
city house, however, he is obliged to
admit callers at night or offend them.
The President does not have regu-
lar hours for public receptions, and
people who have to see him on busl-
ness must cultivate the virtue OF pa
tience. Appointments are made days
in advance. The explanation for this
made to me by prominent Govern
aent official is somewhat singular. 1t
is not because the President is exclu-
sive. 1t is because the customs Of the
country are such that he cannot stop
q man from talking or cut short an

The Mexican Indians or half.breeds,
who compose about nine.tenths of the
population, and from whom the army
is recruited, are patient and hardy
people. Many of them own nothing
in the world but their zarape and big
sombreo. The zarape is their cloak
by day and their blanket by night.
It is said that they can and will 60
three or four days without food and
not complain. They are Injured to

though of small size, and are said to
be courageous, because they have lit

for these reasons that they make good

was at first necessary, but in course OF
time the line-of. battle ship with her
three tiers of guns was evolved. Then
came steam and one deck again.
An Italian ironclad, the Sardegna,
launched recently, is almost three
decker, but Mr.. Cloves wants more
complete one for the British Navy.
He proposes ship to carry 101 guns.
These are the other general details of
his plan:
"Speed, twenty-three knots; ton
mage, $4,000; guns, sixteen six-inch
quick-fring, twenty 4.7-inch quick
firing, twenty twelve-pounders quick
firing, twenty six and three-pounder
quick-aring, twenty-five improved
Maxim guns"
The ship would be completely
covered with six inches Of steel armor,

THREE-DECK IRONCLAD.

No swift cruiser could live within
range of her guns. Only the heaviest
of existing ironclads could hope to es-
cape immediate destruction, and they
would be far inferior in speed and i'll
armament. Ten minutes is reckoned
as sufficient time to settle one Of these.
There would, of course, be great
difficulties in the building OF such
ship. More than a thousand men
would be required for her. Three
decks would be absolutely necessary
to accommodate her guns. Naval ex-
perts have long urged the importance
of maintaining a strong end.on fire OF
placing many of the guns OF a good
height from the water level. 1t is
also believed that a three-decker
would have better sea-going abilities
than the present large ironclsds.

time between ten and twelve thousand
