The full strength of the Navy of
the United States now amounts to 312
vessels of all kinds, built and build
ing. Of this number 1S9 are in the
regular Navy and l23 constitute the
auxiliary force, for the accumulation
of which we are largely indebted to
the necessities of the Spanish-Ameri-
can War. Something of the pace at
which we are moving forward may be
imagined when it is stated that rough
ly estimated the existing naval fleet
represents an expenditure for con-
struction of about $125,00O,00O, and
yet there are now under construction
or awaiting formal acceptance by the
government more than half hundred
war vessels, the contract price for
which, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment, is in the neighborhood of $40
100000.

At present the two greatest railway
tunnels of the world are those pierre
ing the St. Gothard and Mont Gems
1t will not now be many years before
that other great mountain of the Al
pine range, the Simplon, will also be
pierced, SO that men may pass to and
fro in trains beneath its mighty sum-
nit. The operations, it is true, are
progressing slowly, but steadily and
surely. More than 1900 men are
there at work. The length of the cut
ting at the north end is now about
1900 yards, that at the south end
only about 800 yards. The work is
at present progressing at the rate OF
some five yards day at each end.
1t is impossible to fOretell the proba-
BILE date Of completion, owing to the
changing nature of the strata; but
when the two gangs OF workmen meet
IN the middle they will have COM
pleted the longest tunnel in the world,
for they will have cut through thir-
teen miles Of mountain.

Thrown Out Of Court.

I'M hna [dud- eil6Lmh BliI2d salA,
:. In the good old days in Kentucky
there was court composed t q three
magistrates to try certain cases ap-
p5esaaled, from a, single justice of the
peace peace The three magistrates were
backwoodsmen. A case was being
tried one day that was very impor-
tant, and several hours of listening to
the reading Of dispositions and the ar
guments of counsel, pro and con, and
pro and con again, had so nearly en-
tangled the court in u labyrinth Of
perplexing questions of law and fact
that they doubted their ability to
blaze their way out. So they whls-
pered to the leading lawyer at the
bar, who was sitting by spectator,
and asked him what he thought ought
to be done with the case
Il think it ought to be thrown out
of court, was the prompt and en-
phatic reply.
That settled it.
"Mr. Clerk, said the chief magis-
trate, "pass up them papers.
The papers, which made quite a
large bundle, were handed the chief
Now, Mr.. Sheriff" said he, DELHI
erately, "open that window"
The sheriff opened the window
and the case was thrown out Of court.
The feud that followed lasted for
fifteen years.

Union county, Georgia, enjoys the
distinction Of being the dryest county
in that State. 1t has not had a bar
room in it for so years, and in that
time has not had local option cleo
ton, prohibition has never been an is
sue in politics, and it has not an ha-
bitual drunkard within It's confines.
A prominent citizen is quoted as ex-
pressing the belief that eff man was
bitten by a rattIesnake, he could not
get a drop Of liqour in Union county
to save his life" Union county lies
among the mountains Of the Blue
Ridge, about 100 miles on an air line
from Atlanta and about % miles from

is not dollar of bonds on the coun-

larger this year than usual, the total
State and county tax amounts to only

TO AID IRRIGATION.

Dispatches report that Secretary of

Ing himself In irrigation Investigation
and fayors an appropriation Of $50, 900
by Congress to further the investiga-
ton Into this subject. IL is reported
that the appropriation will probably be
,nsde and II certainly could not be
made for a more worthy purpose. The
proposal Is to expend the appropriation
for two objects: az The collection and
publication of information regarding
the laws and institutions of the irri-
gated region, on their relation TO agrl-
culture. and, l2) the duplication Of
available Information regarding the
use OF irrigation waters in agriculture,
as shown by actual experiment of
farmers and by experiment and invesli-
CATION, and the encouragement of
further Investigations in this line by
the experiment stations as To the ex-
tent and Importance IN which the use
OF water for irrigation has increased
In that vast region of the United
States. in which the rainfall Is not suf-
hcient for successful agriculture.
Irrigation has been in q large mea-
