BRITAIN'S NAVY.
The Proposed Increase of warships
Not Due to Feeling of Alarm.

The Proposed Increase of Warships
Not Due to Feeling of Alarm.
; LONDON, March 2.-In the House of
4 commons to-day the Right Hon. George
:. Goschen, First Lord of the Admi-
raIty, presented the navy estimates. He
said the proposed increase in the naval
expenditures was not due to any feeling
or alarm. More ships meant more men.
and those could be got. He commented
upon the important personnel which he
said was due to the enormous complex
! ity of modern warships Nevertheless,
the admiralty would have no difficulty
IN cleaning from long roll of candi-
| dates. The Government proposed an
] increase of fS50,000 for guns and docks
at Gibraltar It had decided to build
three docks instead Of one. The cost of
| the new works was estimated at e, 500,-
/ QUO in addition to the 1861 600 already
allotted for the new dock there.
! Summing up the demands of the Gov
ernment, Mr.. Goscnen said it was pro-
posed to raise the naval works bill from
the tS,o0o,000 proposed by the last Gov
ernment to t14,000,0 900, which should be
the amount of the Government bill
| (Cheers and cries of "Oh! Oh!")
Continuing, he said that these might
seem large figures, but the Chancellor of
the Exchequer advised him to state
that the exchequer could supply the
| money 1t was proposed to add to the
navy five new battle-ships like the i'm
proved Renown, four f1rst-class cruis-
ers, four second-class cruisers, six
third-elass cruisers and twenty eight
torpedo destroyers.
The total estimates were Ell, ,S22, 900,
against f1S 701 900 for 1886.
The Ministers believed they had ar
rived at point on which they must
stand. If any tremendous strain came
upon the House obliging Great Britain
to bear the whole burden alone and un-
aided, or whether in the event Of any
general disturbance she would take her
place with any other Power, the Brit
ish fleet would represent the self-reIi-
ance of a great nation. (Cheers)

4 Remarkable Feat.

A most remarkable feat of penmanship
has Just been accomplished by l.. A.
Grincourt, a young Frenchman now re-
siding in this city. So remarkable is it
that its accomplishment would seem be-
yond belief, were it not for the positive
and tangible evidence that no man, DO
matter how incredulous he may be, can
dispute. As it is, the perfected work
stands as the best known record for di-
minuiive pen writing, and marks the au'
thor as the possessor Of peculiar talent
Of which he is very easily the master,
On the back of an ordinary postal card
he has written 5,454 words. In doing
this he used u steel pen of the pattern
commonly used by card writers.
1t must not be supposed that the words
written on the card were selected because
of their brevity, for such is not the case.
The written words are portion Of a
story-the first eighteen pages Of Emil
Zola's historical romance, LA Debacle'
c"The War"O. Each word is on the card
in the order in which it appears in the
original text, space 3x5 inches contain
ing the same phrases, sentences, words,
and letter as are contained in eighteen
pages of printed mailer. So minute are
the letter formed by the pen that the ma
ked eye can scarcely distinguish them,
and the most perfect visions requires the
aid Of powerful magnifyiug glass to en-
able one to read them.
Perhaps the most wonderful feature Of
