The most significant industrial phe-
nomenon of 1895 is unquestionably that
OF shipping American steel 20 Great
Britain for use in the construction OF
ships. There are many things that we
might send abroad, and i'm much larger
quantities than the steel that has been
sent out for the construction OF ships
without arousing so much discussion
and speculation among all economic
thinkers. as well as among the leading
statesmen OF the world. For Great
Britain TO voluntarily demonstrate, in
the practical manner that actual pur-
chases do demonstrate. that the quality
of American steel and the price. also
are such as TO justify the placing of
large orders with our steel manufac-
turers for the different shapes of steel
that are required in shipbulding. is for
the British to also proclaim to the
world that America, so far as the cost
of steel is concerned, has at last
reached a position where she is able to
compete with Great Britain for the
construction Of ships-that we have
reached a point where may be able,
Notwithstanding our better-paid labor,
90 invade a field in which the British
have considered themselves invulnera-
bic to successful competition from
abroad.

In her supreme sea power Great Bril-
tain is able to- and for many years has
shown that she does, hold the world at
bay. IL is not so much in her vast navy
that the power OF Great Britain upon
the sea is so manifest. but, rather, in
the ubiquity Of her enormous merchant
shipping. Wherever there is trade to
be conducted. e Briton is there TO take
charge OF IL, no matter how remote I'm
the world the place may be In which the
trade originates, or To which II is des-
tined. The British actually create trade
themselves; the development of India
and Australia, and more recently OF
that portion Of Africa I'm which Britons
control. has been due to British effort
and commercial genius. Thus fortified.
with her alert subjects I'm every part

panding civilization require. Great

NO BEER, NO BELLS.

worse than a strike, has. it seems,
arisen at Thetford. The belringers OF

that they VIII in future be expected on

rogative shared by them with higher
ecclesiastical officers OF pointing out
10 others the path which they do not
propose TO follow themselves, we are
left 10 guess; but their retaliation IN
any case has been swift. Last sunday
they declined to ring the usual peals
and merely kept up a monotonous
Ginning by the way of protest against
the recent injunction. That quickened
manipulation of the. bell ropes which
is known, we believe rs swearing

pirate 20 the circumstances; and at
present, therefore. they must be re-
garded AZ having shown q certain

MAN IN His PRIME.

The question has often been asked
When is man in mis- prime? But. for
obvious reasons, satisfactory answer
has never been given. If prime" be
be taken as the time when a mans in
tellectual powers are most highly de-
veloped, then IL is apparent at once
that this is not likely TO correspond to
steal strength.
Tests 20 determine when q man is at
his best physically and mentally have
recently been made in London, and the
results have caused a deal of astonish-
ment To those who believe man is i'm
his prime between the ages of 40 and 80.
Tests of the strength. mental and ply
steal, OF several thousand persons were
made, and these are given as the aver
age figures for the white race:
The lifting power" of a youth Of II
years is 2S0 pounds; in his 10Th year
this increases to 800 pounds: and in the
30th and 31st years it reaches its
height, 365 pounds. BY the 4Oth year
il has decreased eight pounds and this
diminution continues at a slightly in
creasing rate, until the 60th year is
reached, when the figure is $50 pounds.
Mental statistics were based on how
much of a given page OF book could
be memorized in a given space OF time.
The tests were made in English board
schools, colleges and oxford univer-
sity. 1t was found that youths OF Is
10 20 were far superior To men of 80 at
this work. A contest was arranged be-
tween students and instructors at OK
ford, and the dons were left far be-
hind by their younger competitors.
\ child's mental faculties were found
not To be properly developed until the
age of s years. From this age onward
there was a steady increase of the
amount able to be retained by the
brain. in n certain time, up 10 the age
of Is. Then there was n sudden jump
and a stop at 20 years. At this age the
brain power began 10 fall off, very
slowly at first but proceeding rapidly
