The first of our ships of.the,new navy
had tops that werei practicapy steel
duplicates of those of the late war;
and but for the presence otimodern
rapid-flre guns, were really of less
defensive value than those Of thirty
cdd years ago. 1t wasn't till ave be-
gan to build our, battleships that We
really launched out into regular mod
ern military masts, and then we fol-
lowed in principle the practices of the
French. - - :
The modern mast on a fighting ship
is purely for military purposes, name,
ly, on such ships that are without a
spread of canvas of any sort, and its
duty now is principally for a service
that was once merely incidental to
those Of the sailing ship. To bear sig
nails is its first mission, and then to
carry an armament of rapidfire guns
with which to meet the attack of tor
pedo boats to sweep the open ports,
and to enflade the unprotected gun,
stations of an enemy. With Calling
guns pouring out veritable rain of
bullets at the rate of 1900 minute,
and with ether heavier automatic guns
capable of hurting hundred or more
CT one-pound shell in the same time
the modern military top is--so'.etihg to
be considered where the hand grenade.

the stink balls. and the rocks Of the
past might be dismissed with a shrug
There is but little doubt that the
French have set the pace for the mod
erp fighting top, and SO luxuriantly
have their vessels developed these
growths in riotous profuSion and va
rieties of forms that it was no wonder
we soon heard OF wanting stability in
their ships. Their most recent de-
signs are decidedly moderated, but still
bear the, hall mark of great freedom.
With the French the idea has been
to cover entirely the positions of the
guns and the men in the tops to give
the navigator chance to guide his
ship in action from q point well above
the smoke of the guns, and, too, to
bear aloft the searchlights. Where
ever closed in top is found on ships
of other nations it is of French in
spiration.
The British have almost exclusively
held to an open or uncovered top, the
only real protection to either guns or
men being the shields carried on the
weapons themselves.
With lis the gunboats Wilmington
and the Helena represent the greatest
development of the military mast, in
all 1t means for fighting and signal
purposes, for coming the ship, and for
the carriage of that great shining eye
that Is. TO look far into the night. The
coming tower, so to speak is just be-
low the lower top. and is reached
through the body of the mast proper. |
Just because of this curious type Of
mast, one of the enemys large auxil-
larry cruisers took one of these boats
for battleship the other day, and lost |
no time in hustling for the distant
horizon.
The national tendencies of the va
rious navies are marked by the military
masts their recent vessels bear, and |
whether they seek their inspiration
from Great Britain or France it is
easy enough to tell. The Russians are
unsettled; Austria is equally divided;

Recent, studies of the animal life OF
Lake Tanganyika have shown that that
lake differs from all other.African lakes
in possessing inhabitants that belong to
the. oceanic species. Still, these sin
s9lar denizens of lake Tanganyika are
not exactly like the marine organisms
of.the present day, and the conclusion is
drawn that sea, connected with the
open ocean, once occupied the parts of
Africa where Tanganyika now lies and
that the lake is the last remnant of the
ancient sea.

A Plant Is Found and Man Sus
pected Is Arrested.
Saturday afternoon was very busy
one for Detective KAPPA. Aside from
attending to his duties at the Police
Station, he found time to go into Pauoa
and there arrest Joe Ferreira on the
charge of distilling liquor. He found a
complete still for the making of okole-
hao and together with this, quite lot
of the liquor. Ferreira was in the act
of cutting wood, when the detective and
his men arrived.
Detective KAPPA says he has good
reason to believe that the unlawful
business has been carried on in that
locality for some time past. Suspicious
bundles of wood have often been
brought down from the locality men
toned and disposed of in front of sew
eral Portuguese stores, one of which
was just lately raided.
The distilling apparatus captured by
KAPPA is made according to the very
latest ideas, and the capacity of the
same would go to show that the orders
were not lacking at any time.

street" TO quote the language of the
item above referred to. On the 10th of
January, last, a petition signed by over
100 of the most prominent business
firms and citizens of this city, was pre-
sented to the Executive Council, who.
under this Act have authority to widen
the streets named therein. praying
them to cause said street to be widened
in accordance with said Act. This
shows that the general public do not
agree with the street experts" THE
scheme" to widen Adams lane would
not be "the best and cheapest and
safest" /. Not the best because it
would bring it too close to Aiakea
street and would make of it blind
street leading nowhere, while on the
other hand, the widening of Union
street would be far more desirable for
the public convenience, said street be-
/ ing the natural continuance of Emma
street. Most of the traffic town wards
/ from Emma street and and from the
Plains, coming along Beretania street,
goes down this street. Not the best be-
cause it is against public policy to close
streets, but rather to open, widen and
extend them, and it would bring the
question before the Courts of the right
of the Legislature to close up street.
2. Not the cheapest as it would cost
from four to five times as much as the
widening of Union street. After settl-
ing with the property holders on
Adams lane, the Government would
have to settle with the property hold

damage done to their property by en-,
tirely closing up their frontages OF
said street. l do not think that the

Among the residents of Blenheim
township (Canada) none are better
known than the Dawsons, who settled
in the county while it was an almost
unbroken wilderness. Mr.. S. Dawson
is a leading member of a Baptist
church and is esteemed and respected
by the whole community. There are
few in the county who do not know
that Mrs. Dawson was for years a
great sufferer, who now, happily, has
been restored to health. To a reporter
who recently called at the Dawson
home, the lady gave the following par
ticulars of her illness and cure. She
said:-'I have been a sufferer for a
