TO SWEEP THE SEAS.

The navy is to build warships aggre-
eating over 500, 000, 900 in cost as Don
as builders are prepared to undertake
this great program, which calls for
eleven armored ships, practically dou-
bling the present American sea power
in this class, and for three highly i'm
proved Olympia type of cruisers.
The five battleships for whose bulls
and machinery congress has appro-
priated $1S,000,000 are ready for the
builders to bid upon. Plans for the
six great armored cruisers, more pow
erful than any ship at present In serv-
ice, and to cost for bulls and machin-
cry alone owe $25, DOC, 900, are well ad-
vanced and should be finally approved
next month. The general features of
the enlarged Olympia type were deter
mined last fall before congress appro-
priated 2 ,S00, 900 for the hull and ma
chinery of each of them. and there is
no reason why their keels should not
be laid this summer.
The navy department is also prepar-
ing the specifications and advertise
ments for 5000 tons of the highest
quality Kruppized armor, which is ex-
pected to cost between SIT, 000, 900 and
$3.50 DOC 900. The complete construction
program authorizes contracts for bulls
and machinery alone amounting to
$1,000 900, which includes five battle
ships at $1,000, 900 each, six cruisers
at $4,250, 900 each, and three improved
Olympias at 50, 800, 900 each.

The famous Trans-Missouri Freight
association decision of the Supreme
Court was said to have thrown the
railroads back into a Competitive
state. But a railroad passenger asso-
citation has decreed that any road run
ming a train between New York and
Chicago in less than twenty-eight
hours must charge 81 above the regular
fare. That does not look like competi-
ton. An association sufficiently power
full to compel the rich and ~enterprising
roads to forego the advantage of their
enterprise is hardly the shorn, crippled
and decrepit creature that it's members
have represented it as being.

A recent visitor to an astronomical
observatory looked through the great

TREES CONTAIN WATER.
Hunters In Arid Regions Obtain Their
Drink by Tapping Them.

In many sections of the forest lands
of the south during the dry seasons
a man may walk for miles without
finding a stream of water or a spring
by which to quench his thirst, says the
Memphis Scimitar. If, however, he is
an experienced hunter and woodsman
he will not have to drink water from
the stagnant pools in order to keep life
in his body. An experienced man can
hunt for days through such dry tracts
and yet experience no inconvenience
on account of the lack of water. Ma
ture has provided a means which is
only known to the initiated. Every
old huntsman carries with him when
going on a long hunt, a small augur,
by which he a secure a refreshing
drink and water to cook with at any
moment. A cottonwood tree or a will
low is the we'll which the willy hunts
man taps. He examines each tree un-
til he finds one that has what a woods
man calls a "vein." 1t is simply an
attenuated protuberance. By boring
into this "vein" a stream of clear wa
Ter Will NOW OUT. IL is uOL sap, DuL
clear, pure water. The huntsmen say
that the water is better han the aver
age to be had from ordinary wells.
There is no sweetish taste about it,
but it has a strong favor of sulphur
and is slightly carbonated. The rea-
son for this phenomenon cannot easily
be explained, but that a supply of water
can be contained in a tree is not SO
surprising. The fact of it's flowing is
the wonderful feature, showing that it
must be under pressure, or, in other
words, that there is more pressure at
the source of the supply. When it is
considered that the trees furnish the
water in the dry season and that the
ground is literally baked, it is the
more remarkable, especially when the
roots of the trees do not extend to any
great depth into the ground.

The battleships, known as the Penn
sylvania class, are to be nearly $4,000
tons displacement, or over 5000 tons
heavier than the Oregon, more than
100 feet longer than hat famous vessel
and with at least three knots higher
speed.
The six cruisers of the California
class of $4,000 tons, % knot speed and
5000 knots steaming radius, will be
unmatched in the world. They will be
5000 tons larger than the Brooklyn,
and at least three times as powerful
for fighting uses.
All these vessels will be armor-
coated fro~o the extreme bow to stern,
and will be the most formidable ships
yet laid down in any dockyards. The
three protected cruisers of about 10,-
900 tons displacement will be just
about twice the Olympia's size, but
will preserve the excellent character
istics of that vessel, which have prov
ed her to be about the most useful type
of cruiser now in the service. These
three new vessels, which are to be
named for cities, will have coal capa-
city for steaming three times across
the Atlantic, and their maintained
speed will be % knots.
The secretary of the navy has also
been directed by the last naval appro-

land submarine boats, to cost $175, 900
