THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN NAVY
SUPPLEMENT.

The Scientific American, which has
always identified itself very closely
with the interests of the Navy, is to
be congratulated on the extremely
handsome and valuable "Navy Sup
plemeDt" which it has lately put be-
fore the public We think that, if
the average reader had been asked
beforehand what kind of work he
would prefer upon the NAVY, he
would have asked for just such an
issne as this.
Both the illustrations aud the read
ing matter are of the straiglitfor-
ward explanatory kind which is neces
sary to put technical subject clearly
before the lay mind. 1t was happy
though, to pretaca work with a
chapter upon the cf !sEation of war
ships and insert a 3fsW diag rams by
way of explanation Of the subtle
difference between cruisers, monitors
and bat,Ieships; for after diges:iDg
this chapter one is prepared to follow
intelligently the detailed description
Of the various ships which make up
the bulk of the issue. One of the
best things about this number is that
it does not merely give an external
illustration Of each ship, but it takes
the reader down below decks, and
initiates hitn into the mysteries of
the magazines, handling rooms. am
munition hoists and motive machine
rv. The sectional views of the iuter-
ior of the .urrets of the monitors are
exccptionly fine, as is the wood en-
craving of the engines of the "Mas-
sachusettsn Tie last page ofthe num-
Der contains complete tables of the
new Navy, the auxiliary feet and
tue various naval GUNS. A hand
some colorea map of Cuba and the
West Indies is furnished with this
issue. We extend our congratulations
To our contemporary on the product
lou OF a work which is we'll conceiv-
ed and admirably carried ont. This
work is published by Mum & Co, of
361 Broadway, New York, for 25
cents.

I'VE must recognize the fact that
hereafter the country will have a
bigger army aud navy" dolefully re-
marks a Democratic pxper. Tn
doubtedly we will have q bigger army
and navy hereafter, and the fact is
one for which the country will COLI
graduate itself. If the country had
had bigger army an ] navy in recent
years q word from Washington at
any time in 1896 or 1897 would have
sent the Spnniards out of Cuba with
out the firing of a shot by an Ameri-
can ship or soldier, and all necessity
for the present war would have been
averted. The people, chiefly Demo-
Gratis and Populists, who for tho past
eight or ten years, and along until
the present war began, defeated all
efforts to adequately increase the
army aud navy, arc partially rcspon-
sible for the loss of life and the ex-
penditure of money which this con-
fict will entail.

One OF the most remarkable exbi-
progress at Omaha. and will remain
open during -he summer aud autumn.
The Tran smississippi and Internal
ional Exposition is All extraordinary
evidence of American energy and
culture in the newest section of the
union. Five years have been spent
in preparing for it, and the sum Of
81, ,6o0, 600 expended to place it on the
level of great ex2ositions. 1t is un-
questioDaLly success from the out
set. The grounds cover 200 acres,
and ia addition to the ten immense
buildings, all filed with the treasures
Of industry and art. An elaborate
government display occupies a grand
hall. erected with national appro-
priation OF 100000. The immense
grounla arc beautitied in the most
iibei al and tasteful manner. To go
into the details OF the exposition
would be TO get lost in a maze of
novel and striking objects and COM
biuations. The country will wonder
that such display could be made at
all in the region west of the Missis-
sippi. A visit to the Omaha Expo
sition is necessary part of the sum
mer's business and recreation.

Shall we keep the Philippines?
Probably we shall. We must, of
course, hold them until after the war
ends, and then we may decide to
retain them permanently. On the
other hand, there is possibility that
it may be deemed advisable 20 sell
them to some other county or ex-
change them for territory somewhere
i'll this hemisphere. The ultimate
disposition of the Philippines is q
large question, aud can not be settled
oa'hand. 1t is aqnestiOn which does
not need to be settled until after the
war ends. We may take little diff.
fercnt view Of the subject then from
what is taken now, aud then again
we may not. It is an American ques-
tion purely, however, and will have
to be settled in the light of Am crican
Interests.
