Texas.
Battleships are covered with armor OF
nickel steel from, five to seven. inches

The boilers of the Iowa have a heat
ing surface of eight acres and hold 80
tons of water. ..
Five hundred and twenty-six men and
40 officers are required to man the
cruiser New York.
All of the cruisers are named in honor
of cities, and the battleships, except
the Kearsarge, in honor of states.
a big battleship has on board an
electric plant capable of lighting town
of 5000 inhabitants.
The Indiana could lie outside Sandy
Hook and throw 1,20O-pound shots into
New York at the rate OF four a minute.
Battleships are for the heavy work;
cruisers are commerce destroyers;
monitors are useful only for coast de-

travel only five 10 seven knots.

WHERE THE MONEY Is.

Money lenders assure business men
that the banks are stuffed full with
money which can be obtained Mt a
low rate OF interest on @gilt edged"
securities. The only borrowers are
those who are already struggling I'M
der load Of debt, from which they
must be mustered into the army Of
insolvents. ANY person who would
borrow money to invest in any pro-
ductive industry with the expectation
OF profit Is putting rope around his
neck with suicides or hangmau' :
knot in it.
II is not performing the functions
of money, and might as we'll be in the
deepest hole in the fathomless ocean

the products Of industry. 1t is not
employing labor; it is not buying the
bread and meat for the hungry, cloth.

for the houseless. 1t is not telling
the forests and converting waste
places into gardens, orchards ind
farms. 1t is stored away into bank
vaults. awaiting opportunities to in
crease the accumulated wealth OF it's
owners. BY reducing its volume it's
purchasing power is enlarged.
The time was when an improved
farm was considered good security
for loan equrl to half its appraised
value. Notwithstanding the great
abundance Of idle money, the con-
slant shrinking in the commercial
value Of real estate, it is not gilt
edged security for any SUN. The &C.
emulation of money in the hands of
the few is increasing the wealth of the
rich by giving their money nm increas.
ing purchasing power over the labor
and products of the masses. We say
without fear of contradiction that if
there is plenty Of money it is not in
it's legitimate channels.
Confronted by an expensive war the
subject Of finance will assume n
greater Importance than ever. The
government will be compelled to raise
fabulous amount OF money. Gold
and silver never did meet the current
expenses of a great war. Their pos
SCISSORS hunt hiding places for their
treasures. They await the return of
peace, when they come ont of their
hiding places and then boast of what
they have done to save the ship of
state from being wrecked. The peo-
pie of the United States have an ex-
pensive lesson Of the folly OF trusting
to Z I'D synli ,ates and b mixers as
sociations to supply the slnews of war.
1t is hardly possible that the people
will permit the money power to repeat
the costly lesson.-Cincinnati En-

Make it a Merry Christmas.

Let us not altogether overthrow the
Santa Claus myth, for an immense NOR
al influence dwells in it. The belief,
which is very general among the chill
dren. that his favor depends upon their
good behavior, has an unequaled sOoth-
ing power over rebelliOus dispositions
If they believe that the wise saint has
his own recording angel, is there any
harm in the quaint superstition? We
ourselves subscribe to sillier ideas.
Could we penetrate the symbolism of
some childish fancies there might often
come to the light grains of wisdom rem
nant from the regions of the ancient
world.
The question we are now asking
how to make a merry Christmas, is not
to be solved in an instant. Every fam
lily must consider it from its own stand
point. Happiness is not, even at this
season. to be put in a great sack la
beled candy and toys We should
study our children and find out what
particular thing they are counting
upon. Especially where Christmas is
the great gift-making epoch of the
year, and the children look to it for
their annual store of games and toys
But only half our duty toward them
will be done if we have not taught
them the pleasure of making gifts to
others. I say taught" advisedly, for
the moral nature of a child is not con-
ferred upon him at birth; it exists then
only in the germ, and it has 20 be cul-
tivated just as his faculty for intel
lectual work has to be cultivated. But
the great difference between moral and
intellectual training is that, whereas
in the last one may attack the under
standing and lead on to desire, in the
first all our approaches must be made
to the heart. No restraint upon con-
duct is of any account unless we sue
ceed in getting the child to want to be
good. He Will then try to be good un-
der all circumstances, when he IS away
from US as we'll as when he is in our
sight.-Harper's Bazar.
