OUR NEW NAVY.
% Ships That Compose 1t Are Designed
Largely Upon Theory.


IL must not be forgotten, says Ira N.
Hollis In the September Atlantic, that our
new ships are designed largely on theory.
Their weaknesses have not been deyeloped
by war. They are therefore products OF
the brain and not of experience. The re.
Dellion gave us some useful lessons in pa-
val warfare under steam and without sails.
but the improvements In armor, gums and
machinery since 1865 have been too great
for any certain application of those lessons
TO present conditions The battle of the
Yalu In the Japan China war, though n
great victory in fleet fighting teaches us
little except TO avoid wood and other in
flamnable materials in the decks and bulk
heads of a ship. For two or three centu.
ries during the sailing period experience
had demonstrated just the kind of casual.
ty the sailor might look for He had &c.
CURED by warfare, shipwreck and hazard
on every sea that seainanship which en-
abled him TO prepare beforehand with al
most mathematical exactness for emergen.
cies, but our question Is, Is modern sea
manship the same as 10 was in Nelson's
or even In Farragut's timer The answer
Is almost self evident. 1t cannot be, for
the modern ship Ia u machine and its cas-
ualties can best he foreseen by men with
engineering education. We know by ex.
perience that when a ship suffers deten-
ton 1t Is because shaft or boiler or a
valve has given out. What will happen on
q battlesbip in aotionf Will shell lam
one OF the turrets SO that it cannot be-
turnedY Will the communication between
the bridge and the engine rooms be cut by
shots Will the Sitting of boiler tube,
a breakage in the steering engine, the
bursting of a steam pipe or the filling of a
compartment render the ship helplessp We
do not know, but we do know that the
ship whose parts are In the most perfect
order, so that every nerve responds prompt.
ly to the call of the commanding officer,
will stand the best chance, and we dc
know, besides, that the crew must be fitted
to the machinery If all parts, guns, dyna-
mos, torpedoes and engines are TO be kept
in this complete readiness for service, and
II the effects of casualty are to be most
quickly minimized.

Fire destroyed the blacksmith shop OF
Perreault & Beauchine at South Lake
Linden last Monday afternoon. The fire
il supposed to have originated from a
spark flying from the forge into some
shavings. The entire building, which
contained new and comp etc outfits OF
carpenters and blacksmith's tools and
large stock OF supplies, was completely
destroyed. The entire loss is estimated
at 81 900, partly covered by insurance.
A high wind was blowing at the time
and it was only by hard work OF the vol
unteer fire brigade that the adjoining
building were saved.

A SONG.

Bring me the Juice Of the honey fruit.
The large, translucent, amber hued,
Rare grapes of southern isles 10 suit
The luxury that fills my mood
And bring me only such as grew
Where fairest maidens tend the bowers
And only fed by rain and dew
Which first had bathed bank Of flowers
They must have hung on spicy trees
In airs of far enchanted wales,
And all night heard the ecstasies
or noble throated nightingales.
30 that the virtues which belong
To fowers may therein tasted be.
And that which hath been thrilled with
song
May give thrill of song TO me.
For would wake that string for thee
Which hath too long in silence hung.
And sweeter than all else should be
The song which in thy praise is sung.

HENRY CLAY AT SlXTY-FlVE.
The Famous Kentuckian at the Time of
His Retirement From the Senate.


In an article on "When Henry Clay Said
Farewell to the Senate, on March 81,
1912, after SO years In public life, John F.
Coyle, in the September Ladies' Home
Journal presents this graphic pen picture
of the Great Commoner," whose close
friendship he enjoyed for many years:
Mr.. Clay In 1912 was SO years old, at tho
very zenith of his great popularity, the
notable, central figure in the arena of poll
tics and craftsmanship. More than feet
tall, slender, erect, graceful and command
ing, he was the personiflcation of dignity
and noble bearing He was perfect mas
ter OF the language, tone and gesture and
possessed of voice remarkable for its vol
ume and range and it's capacity to express
every shade of feeling Of passion of the
human soul Deep, full toned and melo-
dious, 1t was indeed magical in its power
of controlling the feelings of those who
listened to its varying cadences and ex-
quisite modulations. An admiring BIZ
ographer adds to an analysis of Mr.. Clay
as an orator: His mouth large and prom.
inent, upper lip working quietly or In
agony, as occasions require; his eyes rest
ing In calmness, or beaming with lively
emotion, or sparkling with strong feeling,
or flashing with high passion like the
thunderbolts Of heaven In the darkness of
storms; his long arms hanging easy by
bis side, or outstretched, or uplifted, or
waving with grace, or striking with the
vehemence Of passion, his fingers pointing
where his thoughts direct AS an orator
he drew upon his every resource to charm
alike the ear and eye, and was unques-
tionably the most fascinating public speak
or of his day and generation. f"

envy, says Ira n. Hollis In the September
Atlantic, does not supply the needs of a
modern navy, and 1t too often instills into
the youthful minds of the cadets the vi
cious notion that the commanding officer
is above the knowledge Of every detail Of
his own ship During the course consid-
cradle attention Is given to mathematics,
seamanship, gunnery and navigation and
u comparatively small amount of engineer
ing, language and the natural sciences At
the end Of three years the cadets are sepa
rated into two divisions, one of line cadets
and one Of engineer cadets. The latter re-
ceive one year In engineering, and the
former an additional year in seamanship,
navigation and gunnery.

Pittstield.s Railroad Meeting.

There is considerable interest mani
Tested In the railroad scheme that was
presented to the people of Pittsfleld, Fri
day. The simple idea is that il the peo-
pie of Pittstield will provide the money
necessary to pay the land damages for
the line between there and Burnham, the
Quebec Il Wiseassett road will be built
in this town, thus connecting with the
Sebastieook & Moosehead road. 1t has
been rumored about town that the con-
neetion mentioned would amount to
nothing AS the Sebasticook & Moosehead
road is of the broad guage system and
the other the narrow guage system and
there would be no object In changing
from the one to the other and therefore
the Sebasticook Il Moosehead road would
be of no benefit to the narrow gauge.
The fact is, and it was supposed to have
been generally understood to be, the
Moosehead Il Sebasticook road is to be
made narrow guage. The guage of the
latter road can be changed without inter-
fering with the traffic of the road dur
ing the change. Then it is proposed to
build the road to the lake region accom-
modating the small towns and even the
mills that may be located at distance
from the towns by means of spur tracks.
The plan of the new company seems
TO be to accommodate the small towns
by the means of these spur tracks and
thus bring the product of the mills that
now are practically hidden in the woods
to the market by an all rail route. This
plan would tap large section of three
counties and the traffic would in all
probability pay the road.
