world by stopping navigation at Gil
braltar and Alden.
The policy which governs the Brit
ish government in the Mediterranean
and Red Seas has prevailed elsewhere
and any one who is curious to observe
to what extent the British govern
ment controls maritime affairs by the
possession of strategic points and is
lands can enlighten himself by glar-
cling over map of the world, when he
will find that the earth is girded by
lines of British fortresses, which
have been established in the last CEN
fury and half. Great Britain is thus
the policeman of the ocean, all seas
being patroled by ironclads displaying
the union jack
Up to this time, however, the val
liable English dependencies which lie
along the North American coast of
the Pacific have received comparative
ly little attention. Now it appears
that the British government has be-
come thoroughly aroused to the i'm
portance of it's great Pacific colony
a naval station of the first class, which
will be the rendezvous for the Pacific
fleet. Esquimault has been but re-
Gently selected as a suitable point and
consequently it's name is to most
readers rather unfamiliar. 1t is sit
uated on a beautiful and commodious
bay, three miles to the west of the
city of Victoria, on the island of Van
couver. 1t is thus in an important
sense the fortress which will protect
the capital of British Columbia from
foreign attack. 1t is said that at first
the propriety of establishing a station
at Victoria was suggested, but the
close proximity of fine bay and har-
Dor led to the selection of Esquimault
rather than of the capital as the prop
er site. Esquimault will defend not
only the capital of British Columbia,
but also, among others, the important
city of Vancouver on the mainland
and the western terminus of the Ca
madam Pacific railroad.
At present Esquimault is a station
in embryo. Extensive docks have
been built and Notifications begun,
but the town now consists for the
most part of the houses of employees
and workmen. The extent of the gov
ernment's preparations, however, in
dicates work of the most extensive
character, and in the next two or three
years Esquimault will become the site
OF great workshops and foundries,
where shipbuilding will be carried on,
repairs effected and all provision made
for the equipment ard maintenance
of the feet which England at all times
maintains in the North Pacific.
The interests to be safeguarded by
Esquimault and the great guns now
on their way across the continent are
already enormous and will become
much larger during the next few
years. To begin with, there is the
transcontinental trade, which at all
times in the year, even during the
winter season, is a very important
matter. The Canadian Pacific was
built for the sole behoof and accom-
mediation OF the British colonies. and
its western terminus must be perfect

Great artists were paid to paint the

FAMOUS FOLK.
And the Troubles They Give Thsi,
Doctors.


The pope is becoming very disobe-
dent. Though DR.. Lapponi, the papal
physician, recently insisted that his
holiness was not to leave his bed, and
not to receive anyone, the energetic
old gentleman took the first oppor-
tunity, as soon as the doctors back
was turned. of sitting up late to write
a Latin ode, and then afterward re-
ceived a high church dignity in audi
ence. DR.. Lapponi is evidently not
made of the same metal as Schwening-
er, who was Bismarck's doctor.
Schweninger realized on the day of his
appointment that he had got a very
unruly charge. His services were call
ed into requisition, and after an ex-
animation he forbade his patient 70
partake of very favorite dish. All
the same, Bismarck had the forbidden
fruit brought to him, and was doubly
enjoying 1t when DR.. Schweninger en-
tered the room, took hold of the dish
