JAPAN SECOND IN POWER.

The most remarkable progress now
being made by any naval power is by
Japan. She will have a navy, when
her present program of construction is
completed, that will outclass any ho-
tilla that can be put in Eastern wa
tiers by any power except England.
1t is worthy of note that, despite
China's lack of naval progress in
some respects, she has under construc-
ton several torpedo boat destroyers of
30 knots, being the fastest vessels in

Progress-Lessons Of Santiago
a German Authority.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-In a careful
~ prepared paper by Constructor Sus-
senguth, of the German navy, which
appeared recently in the Marine Rund-
schau, it is stated that the navies OF
the world are profting by the lesson
OF Santiago, where the heavy battle
ships brought about the destruction OF
the Spanish fleet, and are building
battleships of 10000 TO $4,000 tons dis
placement. Another lesson that the
German constructor draws from the
Spanish-American war. as we'll as
from the fight on the Yalu. is the
of the unprotected ship
in battle. Japan is the only country
which is now building vessels of this
class.

EQUAL TO ANY TWO
POWERS.

One of the most remarkable state
ments of the writer is the frank con-
fession that England. on the compile
ton of the ships now under construc-
ton for her navy, will be in a position
to meet the combined navies of any
two powers OF the world. 1t is also
stated that England has under con-
struction and to be completed in the
next three years vessels that alone
will be more than equal to- the total
German navy as it will stand at the
end of 1903.

who knew that this form OF invitation would
be sufficient to insure the story.
"Yes, that's right. If hadn't lost that

jewelry and bright calico for furs. All the

Indian fashion. All at once / recalled that

four fingered trader who was always on
the level with those wild merchants, so |
held up the hand and kept it up till one of
the young, bucks, let out a significant grunt
and then hurried to the chief in command.
He came to me in dgniied manner, ex.
amined the hand, grunted about l6 times
while celebrating, said How, and released
me as well as my partner. We were treated

with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not

conduct the night before, however.
My dear" she said, did you know that
you came very near killing us all when you
went to bed last night"
Nope" said her husband, thickly, as he
felt his hot forehead.
""Well, you did. You knocked over the
baby's cradle. Then you blew out the gas
and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do
you think of that"
Her husband is usually resourceful man,
