years has been making additions TO
her Navy. In that period twenty-siN
thousand men have been added to it's
force, which is equivalent to twenty
six regiments of infantry. The addi-
tions to the Fleet. which will be com
pleted by the end of the financial
year 1s07-9S, will require an addition
of 30,050 men; out the extra force
proposed will amount to 31,6j0 men.
At the present time Great Britain has
100000 men on the active list, and 25,-
600 in the Naval Reserve. There is in
addition to this a large number of
seamen who have taken their dis
charge at the end of twelve years.
service. The bulk of these could be
re-enlisted by the offer of a bounty
Beyond this there is the large fishing
population, and in time of need large
numbers of sailors can be recruited
from among its members. 1t takes a
very short time to train such men into
excellent men-of-warsmen.
There is a great building boom in
all the European dockyards and this
will be still further stimulated by the
additions that Germany proposes TO
make in her navy. But with every
effort that Germany can make, she
must remain for many years far be-
hind Great Britain. Before this latest
move of Germany, there were eighty
nine vessels in course of construction
for the English Navy, of which forty
eight were torpedo boats and twelve
were battle ships. Germany was not
building any torpedo boats, and of the
nineteen vessels under construction
three were battle ships. From the
lessons learned during the Chino jay
anese war. it is very evident that the
power which has a cloud OF tropedo
boats to launch against its foe, is
very likely to be the power that will
win.

Greece has utterly failed in her war

Record Of the Clubs,

Well, that was different. The game play
ed by the Senators yesterday at National
Park was a revelation to the dyed-in-the-
wool enthusiasts, and the st. Louis Browns
were simply not in the race, being shut
out without run, the score standing to
U. As the men ran to their positions in the
first inning 1t could be seen that quite a
different spirit possessed them, and that It
would take exceptional ball to make them
bite the dust Even while at the bat the
entire team could not be kept quiet, as they
chinned the umpire and batters with per-
sistency that clearly showed their hearts
were In the work.
Winnie Mercer was on the rubber for the
Washingtons, and although Mike Grady
hurled sarcastic remarks at his speed,
pitched ball that reminded one of the time
Win was at his best last season. Mr..
Grady was given an object lesson in effect
that it takes more than muscle and Drawn
to win games these days, and when il
comes to brainy work Mercer is up with
the leaders, but six singles being registered
against his delivery throughout the nine
innings. When 1t is taken into considera-
ton that seven Of the St. Louis club are
800 hitters. or have the reputation of being
SO, the work OF Mercer can be fully appre-
ciated.
Donohue was on the rubber for the
Browns, and although he has the reputa-
tion OF being frst-claSs pitcher and a
hoodoo to the Sena tors, his curves were hit
opportunely and when hits mean. runs.
The fielding of both teams was perfect
not an error being made by either side
Little DeMont regained his old-time agility
and effectiveness and in two cases at least
shut off safe hits. Tucker at first, OBrien
at second, Reilly at third, and, in fact
every man on the team made good plays
and went after the balls hit in a way that
denoted that all they wanted was to get
within reach of the ball
From st. Louis standpoint the fielding
was also good. Turner's catch in right field
OF O'Brien's fly being a pretty piece of
work, but the handicap of not being able
to solve Mercer's delivery took away a
great deal of the ginger which the team
has lately picked up through the addition
of new players.
To Captain Tom Brown too much praise
cannot be accorded. He simply insisted
on the players doing their best and keeping
constantly at it, and very seldom offered a
suggestion. His efforts in this line were
ably seconded by Charley Farrell, encour-
aging words being hurled at all the men
coming in and going out to their positions
Work of this sort, if continued, will quickly
sort out the good from the bad and result
in victories more frequently. More's the
pity that some of the clubs who are con-
sidered topnotchers were not facing the
resuscitated Senators yesterday.

was filed up. and this knowledge added
strength to the Senator'S playing

No better work could be wished for than
that furnished by Tommy Tucker at first.
Since joining the Senators he has had ~
chances and taken them all without an
error and has so far batted up to 5J6 gait.
Charley Reilly worked hard for the game
yesterday. He was unfortunate at the

but In the field his work was sensational,

A sculptor carrying home a bust of Charles L. stopped to rest by the way. At that moment a pigeon was struck by hawk overhead, and the blood of the bird fell upon the neck of the bust The incident led to the superstition. when the unfortunate monarch was beheaded, shortly afterwards.
 In England and America the robin red-breast is welcomed as the harblnger of spring. The joyful melodiss that he pours forth foretell bountiful haFv- est. There is a tradition that when the Savior was on his way to Calvary, a robin plueked a thorn from his crown, and the blood that issued from the wound fell upon the breast of the bird, and dyed it red. It was one= a pre- vailing belief in England that the robin will cover with leaves the body of any dead person. that it may find.
 There are many superstitions connect ed with the raven. It Is spoksn of in the Bible as an instance of Gods pro- tecting love. In popular superstition. it is an evil omen, foreboding death and desolation. It was the favorfte bird of Odin, the supreme d=ity of, the Scandi- navians. He had one on each shoulder, and they told him of all things of heay- en and of earth.
 Jovanus Pontanus tells of two skirm- ishes near Beneventum between ravens and kites that foretold a great battle. Battles have thus been foreshadowed in many cases. It is a sign of death for a rav4n to fly into g. dwelling. It is said that these birds warmed Cicero of his approaching death by fiuttering about his house, and one entered his chamber on the very day of his murder and kill ed itself by striking against the ceiling.
 Equally unlucky Is ths crow. When one flies over house and caws thrice, 1t is said 10 foretell a death. Crows seen to the left of the observer signify a loss of money. There are two occas- ions however, when the crow is a good omen; nine crows in a. row on a fence foretelll speedy marriage, and white crow in a flock means the inheritance of fortune.
 The swallow is a bird that brings good fortune. It is said to carry peb ble from ths, seashore to give sight to it's young. The cuckoo tells the length of life, and informs maidens when they will be married It is called the 'rain- bird" from the erron =ous notion that 1t cooes only before a storm.
 The hooting of the owl is believed by some persons to foretell death, while others say it means a change in the weather.

Van Sickle fired at him with rifIes miss fng him. Brown rode on. and they lost sight of hum in the darkness. Lute Old's ranch was a mile off the trall. Van Sickle felt sure that Brown would so there. and. wash the other two mounted msn, took a eross-out to the ranch. hop ing to get there before he did. He was not there and Lute Old said he had not seen him. As they stood talking in the shadow of the barn some one came rid- irg up in the darkness, and Lut Old said:
 'gThat's Brown, I know by the jingle of his spurs"
 He walked over to the fence to let down the lars, and as Brown rode into the yard Van Sickle, wf.h his rife, shot the desperado dead from his horse. When Van Sickle told the story he showed me a six-shooter.
 This was Sam Browns" he said "It was the only thing of his I took af.er killed him. I let the others that were with me take the rest"
 Van Sickle, who. I believe, still lives on his ranch in Carson Valley, was a medium-s.zed, stouuly bull. Duteh-looking man, a Jerseyman by birth He was in Carson one of the Mormon emIgrants who settled in Carson City when Nevada was part of Utah, and refused to return to Utah at the command of Brigham Young when Nevada was set off as state. Sam Brown was Mormon who came to Nevada from Utah, where he probably had been a Danite."

The Tone OF Bells,

Many persons suppose that the vary
ing tones Of bells in cathedral chime
depend chiefly upon the size and thick
ness of the different bells. But writ
or in the Scientific American says that
the tone is governed by the protuberant
ring of metal on the flange of the bell
a little back from the edge. The bell
founder who desires to impart par
ticular tone to bell is very careful
about the thickness which he gives to
this ring. and its dimensions are cal
culated in advance.

over it was written, ITO insure
