TILE ARrFuL DODGE Rs.

There is feeling of disgust in this
country because the pesky Spaniards
will not stand still and let us lick them.
They are acting like small boy who
has got away from ''the teacher" and
is cavorting and lodging around in a
most exasperating way. We don't sup
pose they are in any mood to take adj
vice, but somebody ought to tell them
that the sooner they toe the mark the
sooner their troubles will be over.
When "the teacher catches the cavort-
ing and lodging small boy said boy
gets larger reward of merit than he
would If he hadn't enraged the teacher
by cavorting and lodging. If Spain
doesn't face the music soon she will
'catch it, with interest when she does.
OF course we shall tell her that we are
giving it to her for her own good and
the good of the human race, just as the
teacher tells the cornered boy, but it
will hurt all the same.

and to meet this want the government
now proposes the construction of
works capable of supplying millions of
gallons daily. Tile operations for this
purpose involve the building of pipe
line some three hundred and twenty
eight miles long from the Darling Hills
near the coast, where there is a good
rainfall and where sites for reservoirs
can easily be found. The intended
source of supply is the Helena river,
three hundred and twenty feet above
the sea, where a concrete dam one
hundred feet in height and six hundred
and fifty feet upper surface length
will be built with rock foundation.
There is a watershed drainage with
an area of about five hundred and fifty
square miles, and engineers calculating
that less than four per cent of the
rainfall in that area, if impounded, will
furnish the desired supply The SER
vice reservoir, as planned at Coolgar-
die, 32S miles inland, would be 1850 feet
above sea level, or 1880 feet above the
supply reservoir on the coast; and the
proposition is to connect these two res
ervoirs by 1928 miles of thirty-inch steel
nina

THE MONTEREY,S VOYAGE.

All eyes have been on the Oregon
while she was grandly making her way
from San Francisco to wherever she is
now. All eyes will now be on the Mon
terey while she is sloppily making her
way from San Francisco to Manila.
The pictures of the Monterey show her
with much of her deck under water in
calm weather, but she is said to be
seaworthy and sure to reach Manila all
right unless something extraordinary
happens. She is a steel coast defence
monitor with two hooded barbettes,
twin screws and a military mast. She
displaces Abs tons of water, is 256 feet
long and SO feet beam, and has a
mean draught of IA feet inches. The
indicated horse power Of her engines is
5,072, equal to 144 knots in speed For
protection she has complete belt of
steel 13 inches thick. The fore bar
bette has from to IA inches of steel
to protect IL, the ait barbette from
rs to lis inches, the coming tower 10
inches and the deck from to inches
In her forward turret the Monterey
carries two 12-inch breech-loading ri
fles, and in her aft turret two 1O-inch
breech-loading rifles. For a secondary
battery she has six 6-pounders, -four
1-pounders, all quick-fring, and two
Calling gun machines. She is a very
formidable vessel, and will encourage
Dewey, if he needs encourag cement,
1t is expected that it will take about
fifty days for the Monterey to reach
Manila. AS her coal-carrying capacity
is limited she will be accompanied by
collier, and perhaps she will be towet
a part of the way.
