VARIOUS WARSHIPS.
One of the Cramps on the Nayies of
the World.
From the Buffalo Express

(FrOm the Buffalo EXpress.)
The industry OF building warships is
steadily growing in this country. The
stars Of our navy are the products OF
home manufacture, and they have so
distinguished themselves that the Ameri-
can-built ship viii command more at
tention from foreign nations than ever
before. Some of these are already COM
ing our way. The Cramps have lately re-
ceived an order from Russia for a battle
ship and an armored cruiser Finishing
touches are being put on a death dealer
built for Japan. In conversation lately
one Of the members of the Cramp firm
pointed out the growing facilities for this
sort of work in this country. There are
shipyards at Boston. Philadelphia, on the
Chesapeake, at San Francisco and else
where, all capable of turning out the bes.
kind of war boat
Mr.. Cramp thinks the German navy Is
much inferior to our own Says he: the
Germans have not had the success with
their warships that they have had with
their passenger ships. They do not get
the speed out of the German ships which
they desire and expect.
THE best of the Spanish ships were
built by Scotch engineers in Spain. The
Spanish had one very fine ship, the Girls
tobal Colon. as good as any ship that has
been built. But most of the Spanish YES
sels are built so slowly. with the lazi-
ness characteristic of that nation. that
they come out behind time and behind
the improvements. II is also thought that
these vessels can outsan ours, as the
newspapers are constantly maintaining.
THE Spanish trial course is q measured
mile and they get up steam to a very
high degree before they strike the mi.e
post and then sail around after the mile
H. Ii "a -,
the mile post. when they are ready for a
short dash at high mark. They then
enter the ship as capable of continuously
making the speed of that stipulated mile
We. on the other hand are tried for a
series Of miles and have several trials
from which the average Is taken, and
that Is subject to an analysis and aggre-
gate Of the revolutions The fact is that
the American twin and triple screw
steamers have no equals anywhere.
The French sacrifice practically IN
Their warships 10 their NEUROLOGICAL and
artistic depletion. If you would look al
their warships You would think they were
tigers and terrors. by the way they cock
up and show their teeth And seem TO be
made TO scare nations.
England has a few ships perhaps
larger than ours, but the general STAN
dard is maintained as TO size in ali the
leading countries. The American navy
is the last thing out, and 1t has given
great satisfaction
"A lesson of the present war is to be
that o. the naval force depends a ma
tion's superiority. Remarkably little
fighting Is done in our day on land The
only nation which claims supremacy by
reason Of its army is Germany. but that
army would have a hard time ever get
ting back from England with the Eng
lish navy to encounter"

GREAT MEAT EATERS.
Two-Thirds Of the Beef Consumed in
Britain Is From America.
(From the London Telegraph


Tables issued of the quantities and val
ues of the various forms of agricultural
| produce imported into the United King
| dom show a further increase over those
of the Immediately preceding year alike
| in the groups of live animals, OF dead
meat, of dairy produce, of eggs and OF
| poultry. Measured in aggregate value,
| the payments made for imports of ami
NAL produce in 1897 exceeded eli, 500 coo
which is a larger total than has before
been recorded, the more material in
| creases over 1896 being in round numbers
nearly G., 600 600 in live animals imported
| for food e2,5O0,0 600 for dead meat, and
| e1,S00.0 600 for dairy produce
Cattle imported alive in 1897 numbered
61S,000 head, and the sheep 612 600. These
animals represent in the aggregate an ad-
dition to the meat supply of the year of
something like 1850 600 hundredweight,
while the beef. mutton. bacon, hams and
other forms of imported meat were over
IA, 100000 hundredweiGht. These two
classes of sea-borne food together exceed
ed by 1,650,000 hundredweight the meat
imports of 1896, and collectively supplied
a ration of fifty-four pounds per head of
the population, against foreign supply
of forty pounds per head on the average
of the five years lS91-5 AS the home pro-
duction has been nearly sustained these
figures suggest a further development of
the meat-consuming power of the popula-
tion, which was the subject of detailed
examination in the report of the returns
for 1896.
More meat, home and foreign, in the
aggregate was available in 1897 than in
any previous year, and the growth of
supplies continues to outstrip that of
population The conditions of the year
point to the consumption of 131 pounds
by each unit of the people as against an
average of 122 pounds per annum in the
quinquennium of 1S91-5. as much as Al per
cent of the whole being the produce Of
other countries, and 50 per cent furnished
by the cattle, sheep and swine Of the
United Kingdom itself.
Sums paid for the sections of our i'm
ports which are of vegetable origin have
not moved upward with the same regu-
larity as the aggregate values of the i'm
ports belonging to the animal category.
The wheat imports of 1897 were less than
in any calendar year since 1890, and less
by thirty-three pounds per head of the
inhabitants of the United Kingdom than
in the previous year. The United States
supplied two-thirds of the 900 head
received coming from that country while
Argentine sheep were handled alive in
1897 in greater numbers than those from
any other country. The dead meat inn
ports are as formerly more than half of
American origin, three-fourths of the
fresh beef imported and more than two
thirds of the bacon and hams imported
being of American production The sup
plies from Australasia are next in magni-
tude, two-thirds of the mutton coming
from this quarter. In 1897 America sent
to the United Kingdom a total wheat
supply larger than in 1896, 81 per cent OF
the whole, against only AZ per cent of the
large wheat imports of 1895.
