LOOKING OUT ON THE BAY.

and he experienced some moments Of
anxiety at dawn when his enemy was
not visible at the expected point. Di-
rectly, however, the light was strong
enough to make out the Spanish feet
at Cavite, only seven or eight miles dis
tant across the bay, like sensible COM
tmander, he went straight for it, ready
or not ready. AS matter of fact, the
admiral considers that the Spaniards
were not ready in true fighting sense,
an unreadiness due not to surprise, but
to culpable negligence. The entry of
the American feet had been signaled
from the island of Corregidor, which
bars the entrance to Manila bay, at mid
night, and the Spanish admiral had had
from four to six hours in which to make
his preparations. Possibly, therefore,
y the most suitable place for feet which
cannot get into fighting trim in from
four to six hours time is its present
\ position-at the bottom of the sea.
S With the growing prospects of an
h eAnglo-American alliance, it will be
!. gratifying to the British public to hear
that Admiral Dewey speaks in terms
yof the warmest friendship for the Brit
ish navy. Apart from broader ques-
stons, it may be mentioned that this
warmth of feeling is in no small de-
gree due to the judicious and states
tsnanlike demeanor of Capt. Sir Edward
1 Chichester, of II. NJ S. Immortalite,
who was the senior British naval Of
3 ficer on the spot during the most trou-
blous times. Again and again Admiral
Dewey mentioned his name, and each
time in manner which brought home
the honesty and sincerity of his regard

recent speech said: american slavery

| twenty -four feet square or over 500 square
| feet. and they can all be watered at one
place and by one bucket of water.
The greatest economy. however, is in
the use of fertilizers. The method sug-
gested of planting around an artificial hole
for water will save nine-tenths of the fer
tilzer. Even II commercial fertilizers
are not used the rich soils can be brought
to the circle where the vines or other
vegetables are planted and the poorest of
soils will answer every purpose for the
vines TO run on
Fertilizers and rich soils do not enter
the vegetables as plant food. The only
purpose of them is to furnish a good con-
ductor for the ether that carries the plant
food into the vegetable through the leaf.
Moisture conducts electricity and the only
use OF rain or water on vegetation Is TO
furnish a good conductor into the earth

leaves OF vegetables clean SO that the ether
