the reason that its Saturday Supplement

Not only is it illustrated with the highes,

THE PORTABLE STOMACH.

The report that some doctor abroad
bad deprived 3 patient OF 8 troublesome
stomach has begun to have the inevitable
effect. Every doctor seems to want TO
do the same thing and is in quest Of q
stomach for which the owner has no
strongly marked affection. Twice has
the operation been essayed in this coun-
try, says the s. F. Call, and twice has
the patien. died, but in each instance. 1t
is gratifying to note, not until sdmiriDg
science had pronounced the operation
successful. Here arises a point OF some
delicaoy. What constitutes success J
The mere removal Of an internal organ

and achieve the same feat. II the pur-
pose Of eliminating the stomach from the
human economy is to cure the ache OF 1t

original proprietor, Of course the creation
of q vacuum midway OF the mortal frame
is sufficient token that success has crown

raj consideration Of but incidental mo-
ment. That the medical world and the
s~ure-enough world fail to agree is due to
a difference in the point Of view. The
first estimates an operation by the JOY OF
making it, and the second clings to an
old theory that some consideration ought
to be given to the effect upon the subject
who contributes to the affair his mortal
parts.

MERCHANT MARINE.
Report of Navigation Commission on
This Matter.

Washington, Dec. THE annual re-
port of the navigation commissioner,
Chamberlain, devoted mainly to statis-
tics and facts in support OF the project
for the creation of the American mer-
chant marine recommendation by Sec
rotary Gage. Excluding the Great
lakes, practically shut off by Niagara
falls from foreign competition. the ton
mage of vessels entered and cleared at
seaports OF the United States in foreign
trade for 1897 comprised 7,24S,6 25 tons
American and so, 632, 419 tons foreign
shipping. In oversee navigation to
foreign ports more than $500 miles dis
tant, American shipping amounted to
only 2,06S, $50 tons compared with 81
41S,026 ons foreign.
Only three practical caurses, at the
present time, are open to the United
States.
First-We may retain our laws IN
changed, ignore national navigation
and continue to rely c. vessels under
soreign flags for the transportation of
our exports and imports.
Second-We may permit foreign-built
vessels to register under the American
flag, ship crews abroad and increase
national navigation.
Third-We may extend direct gov
eminent aid to vessels built in the Unit
ed States and thus increase both ma
tional navigation and national ship
building.
Largely through Indifference we have
lost the share in Transatlantic naviga-
ton which was once ours. The grow
ing trade of the Pacific is rapidly slip
ping away from us. Excluding Hawaii
entrances and clearances from Asia and
Oceanica at ports of the United States
in 1890 amounted to 23S, $50 tons Amer.
lean shipping, and in 1897 TO only 221,.
43S tons, while roreign shipping in.
creased from 431, 242 tons to 924,72C
tons.
Foreign nations are now skilfully
following the policy of government afd
to develop their navigation in the Pa.
eiic. Toward steamship lines to the
coast of Asia alone, Great Britain las
Year contributed $1.2EO, 900, France ST..
217. 900. Germany $4sn,0OO, Spain 1885,
$416, 900, Russia $4O5 900, Austria, 1905.
900, and Italy $277, 900. The UNITED
States paid only $4,000 to American
lines to Asia at regular mail rates.

months to build vessels Of over 5000
tons and sixteen knots, needed to NEE
