Three years ago the father. Eugene

That at Hanover, Germany, Cost Near
ly Six Millions.
Robert P. Porter in the Philadelphia Inquirer
In Germany the state ownership of rail-
ways has resulted in the building of mag
nificent railway stations, though 1t must
be admitted that some of these terminals
are more ornamental than useful. I do not
mean to imply that the arrangements are
necessarily bad or even inconvenient, but
that in order to secure inexpensive land
they are not as conveniently located as the
railway stations of the united kingdom
and the United States Twelve years ago
1 suppose the railway station at Hanover
was one of the finest structures of the
kind In Europe, but during my recent trip
through northern Europe found several
stations which in size and beauty exceiled
Hanover. A good structure Of this kind is
rapidly nearing completion at Dresden and
has completely changed the appearance of
the quarter of the old and picturesque cap-
ttal Of Saxony in which 1t is located. The
Hanover station cost no less than twenty
three million marks, or nearly six million
dollars, and, unless I am greatly mis-
taken, the Dresden station, when COM
pleted. will cost as much, IL not more OF
course, in these continental railway sta
tons the idea Is not purely unitarian. as
with US and as in England, but architec-
tural beauty forms an important feature.
In this way. Of course, the cost Of railway
stations may be made to foot up to almost
any figure.

STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF CUBA.
It's Vast Importance to the Control of
the Gulf.

Captain A. T. Mahan In Harper's.
Cuba. though narrow, is over six hum
bred miles long, from Cape San Antonio to
Cape Maysi. 1t is, in short, not so much
an island as a continent, susceptible, I'M
Ger proper development, Of great re-
sources-of self-sufficingness. In area it
is half as large again as Ireland, but
owing to its peculiar form, is much more
than twice as long. Marine distances.
therefore, are drawn out to an extreme
degree. It's many natural harbors con-
centrate themselves. to military exami-
nation, into three principal groups, whose
representatives are, In the west, Havana;
in the east, Santiago; while near midway
Of the southern shore lies Cienfuegos
The shortest water distance separating
any two of these is 1876 miles. from
Cienfuegos to Havana $50 miles of wa
ter must be traversed and the western
point Of the island doubled; yet the two
ports are distant by land only a little
more than a hundred miles of fairly easy
country. Regarded, therefore. as a base
Of naval operations. as source of sup
plies to feet, Cuba presents a condition
wholly unique among the islands of the
Caribbean and of the Gulf of Mexico; to
both which 1t. and 1t alone Of all the
archipelago, belongs. 1t Is unique in its
size, which should render it largely SELF
supporting, either by its own products,
or by the accumulation of foreign neces-
sariese which naturally obtains in a large
and prosperous maritime community; and
1t is unique in that such supplies can be
conveyed from one point to the other, ac-
cording to the needs Of aodeet, by interior
lines. not exposed to- risks Of maritime
capture. The extent Of the coast line. the
numerous harbors and the many direc-
tons from which approach can be made

skill-of shifting operations from side to
side and finding refuge and supplies in
either direction. s n

from Inc Sketcn.
One of the most interesting features Of
the queens jubilee procession was small,
white Arabian mare. Her name is Tel-el-
Kebir. She is twenty-five years old and
was ridden by Field Marshal the Right
Honorable Lord Roberts, who also rode
her when he commanded the British troops
in the famous battle in Egypt after which
she is named. Around her neck was
broad band of red, white and blue ribbon
from which hung a gold medal of honor
and the iron Victoria cross, two decora-
tions which are bestowed by her majesty
only as a reward for acts of the greatest
gallantry and military service of unusual
Importance. General Roberts has ridden
the mare through three campaigns in
Egypt and the SoGdan. and she is said TO
have saved the life of this famous soldier
who is second only to Lord Wolseley. on
two occasions. For the last four years
Tel-el-Kebir has been kept in the stables
of the Horse Guards, and has received
much attention as her owner She is the
only horse that was ever decorated by
Queen Victoria, and it was, therefore, APP
propriate that she should have a place in
the procession.
