those command. Assault by
land, should such an improbable
effort be attempted, is rendered
practically impossible by chain Of
parapet forts through the hills and
forest whose exact location is like
wise only known to the engineers
who constructed them and the of
ficers in command. And this is
not all. The entrances to Esqui-
malt and Victoria. harbors are pro-
tected by marine mines connected
with the fortress by network Of
wires for their explosion, should a
war vessel or merchantmen at
tempt to run the gauntlet Of the
shore batteries.
1t is difficult to conceive of a
more thorough system of defense,
than that which has been perfected
at our very doors by nation that
we had reason to believe entertain
ed for the American people the
ordinary feelings of consanguinity.
If we have been mistaken in the
estimate we have placed upon a
nation that secretly plots the des-
truction of kindred separated by
few generations of descent, it is
mistake of the heart rather than
that of judgement, and whether
war results from present complica.
tions or not, it is probably we'll
that these Incidents have brought
to light a more thorough knowledge
of the sanguinary nature of our
next-door neighbor in the family
of nations. Our country is one Of
wonderful resources, and to be
forewarned is to be forearmed. It
will not be many months before
the United States will profit from
this knowledge, and she will be in
q position to meet force with force
in every form of modern. military
appliance.

WH2N a military commander
gives the order to his troops, on
crossing a bridge, to "break STEP"
he is only giving practical recogni-
tion to the existence of the force in
nature which the veteran invent
or Kelley, pretends to have tanned
and harnessed. The law of SYM
pathetic vibrations has been known
for a great many centuries. The
great book of Jewish law, the Tai
mud, prescribes that, if the bark
ing of dog skaters an earthen
vessel belonging to a neighbor, he
shall be recompensed by the owner
Of the dog! This is, we believe,
the first historical recognition Of
the law of rhythmic vibrations.
Then there is the old story of the
fiddler who while the workmen
we're busy on the huge suspension
bridge over the Menai Straits in
Wales, being jeered at by them,
told them he could fiddle their
bridge down." and began, amidst
their uproarous mirth, to draw his
bow across the strings of his in
strument till he found the note with
which the huge structure was in
accord, and continuing on the note,
soon had the bridge swaying in
an alarming manner! Kelley,
with tuning fork and thimble-
full of water, developed force that
was prodigious, but the question
was to harness this new-found
energy. He now, after many years
since his tuning fork experiment,
thinks he has solved the problem,
and that present modes Of securing
force will be laid on the shelf, even
electricity being soon to be regard
ed as clumsy, costly, and waste
full method of obtaining natures
primal energy. If John Jacob As
tor is to back Kelley, who claims
to have a commercial engine driven
by his force ready to show, then
we may be sure that "there's some /.
thing in it," for Astor himself is an
acute and original physical inves-
tigator.

IT MAY be of interest to some
| people to know that the running
Of a newspaper is a business just
the same as the running Of a groc-
cry store or millinery establish.
ment or street car system. A
newspaper proprietor pays rent
and insurance, contracts bills, col
lects money and disburses the same,
with the primary end in view of
keeping the receipts above the q
penses. The newspaper is IN
manufactured product. 1t is made
up Of many ingredients contribut-
ed from many different sources and
the process of its manufacture Is
complicated and expensive. When
the paper comes frok> the press it
represents thelabor of many hd is.
In that respect it does notAiffer
1 from a ha@ or a suit of clothes. In
Estead of wearing newspaper or
eating it we read it, and it is the
advantage of having the news Of
the day arranged and printed in
convenient form and left at your
door that represents the value of
the paper. The newspaper is a
| product-it is manufactured to sup
ply demand, IF the market
value of 5000 newspapers is $3.50,
one paper should be worth an
amount of money in proportion,
just the same as oranges, squashes
or toothbrushes. That's why news.
paper proprietors don't hand out
their papers as presents to anyone
who may ask for them. They
have bought machinery, paid rent
and satisfied the, demands of pay
roll in order to produce, not tooth
brush or a yard of ribben or cigar
but newspaper. On account
of its value as an advertising med.
ium, space in newspaper is worth
money, just the same as seating
room in q street car or an opera
house is worth money. The in
sertion Of u six inch advertisement
may be worth aS much as six seats
at the opera, The value in the
FIRST instance depends upon the
character Of the medium and the
extent of the circulation, The
proprietor has fixed price pro-
portioned to the cost of providing
this medium and the work of pre-.
pairing this Medium and the work
of preparing the advertisement
for publication. The manager Of
the theatre fixes the price of his
seats to correspond with his outlay
in securing the talent and provid-
ing the opera house. These may
seem self evident truths. So they
are. But even to this day you will
find those who do not know that a
newspaper is u marketable product
and they are the sort of people who
make it necessary for the grocer to
put screens over his apple barrels,
And there are those, too, who think
that space in newspaper may be
had for the asking aud they are of
the sort that want their tailor to
present them with neckties when
they purchase a collar. The news.
