"A big increase of the shipbuilding in
dustry Of Great Britain is noted by the
London Daily Graphic. During 1898 the
estimated output of vessels amounted to
100000 tons, far in excess of any pre-
vious years total, and about double the
average for the last 10 or Is years. The
explanation is found in the demand of
the principal steamship companies for
larger and faster ships; for freight
boats of great tonnage and moderate
speed; and for ships of war, which
however the Graphic considers of minor
Importance as compared with the COM
mercial growth. In year or two the
chip building totals are expected to fall
again, the immediate demand having
been satisfied.

sci is laid down to three on the other
tains that France should build slower
ships with stronger defensive powers
than those of its rival. The money now
spent in getting a high rate of speed
from the tonnage launched he would
put into an increased number of armor-
clads. These he would have of all sizes.

Paris authorities that they have au-
thorized him to build two armored tor
pedo boats for use on the open sea.

cheese making State. AS such it holds
an important rank. In Greene county
there are 1893 cheese factories, nearly all
OF which are engaged in making cheese

round Swiss cheese from rs to $50
rounds weight. The cheese is rich and
pure and of the genuine Switzer quality.

pie cheese, after English and German
methods are successfully made. The

seurs of Milwaukee, famous for it's la
ger beer and not less famed for it's en-
ergetic and thrifty German population
