JOHN BULL HAS BOTH EYES
OPEN.

San Francisco Commercial News.
Great Britain is preparing to place
at her naval station at Hamilton, in
the BerTnudas, one Of the largest float
ing dry docks ever constructed. The
floating dry dock now in use at Hamil-
ton is among the largest in the world.
1t has length Of Ss1 feet, width at
the entrance Of "a feet, and a depth of
25 feet. II Is large enough to accomo-
date cruisers the size Of the Olympia
and battleships the size Of the Oregon.
But 1t will not accommodate modern
iron-clad cruisers like the Brooklyn,
which has a length Of 400 feet. Nor
will It accommodate England's first class
battleships Of the type Of the Formid-
able, Implacable or Majestic. The in
ference is plain. While England is
talking peace, she continues quietly
to strengthen her war line along our
coast and our northern frontier. A
new dry dock in the Burmudas will
mean that the largest British battle
ships may be kept in American waters
and repaired at the Hamilton dock
yards. 1t will mean that in case of
war England can put her most power
full feet Of battleships and armored
cruisers on our Atlantic coast, with
the assurance that they can be re-
paired not 700 miles from New York
City or Brooklyn navy yard or Phila-
delphia or Hampton Roads. England
is ready ito clasp hands across the
sea-" but she is strengthening every
military post and every naval station
in American waters. While st. Louis
is quibbling over the completion Of
the first division Of ship canal from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river
England and Canada are planning
ship canal from Georgian Bay to Mon
treal, and planning also to deepen
the welland canal SO that British war

AN ovERwoRKEp PHRASE,

Post t-Intelligencer.
There is one phrase OF cheap dema-
gogy which is being ovcrworked with
sickenlng iteration In the absence Of
any argument against any proposed
measure OF public policy, the demo-
cratic minority always fall back up
on the claim: The trusts are behind
IT," Facts. common sense, reason. jus.
tice or the sound policy OF the proposed
measure, all are passed over to be met
with this parrot-like iteration.
The Puerto Rico debate furnishes u
happy illustration OF this democratic
logic. Speaker after speaker on the
democratic side, and all OF the demo-
cratic newspapers which have treated
the subject. have fallen back upon this
as their chief argument Yet In the
particular connection used. the position
that the trusts. or any Of the trusts, are
interesting themselves In the faintest
degree against the proposed Puerto
Rico tariff Is too absurd TO be seriously
considered. The men who use il are
banking almost too strongly upon the
well-tested ignorance Of their party fol-
lowers IL they expect them seriously to
swallow such utter nonsense as this.
The only products of Puerto Rico
which will come within the operations
OF the proposed tariff laws are sugar
and tobacco. The sugar exported from
Puerto Rico is all in the raw state. The
so-called sugar trust is e purchaser OF
raw sugar and seller OF the refined
article. It has always clamored for
free raw material and tax upon re-
fned. Its interests are squarely with |
free trade in raw SUGAR with Puerto
Rico and, for the matter OF that. with |
every other country.
The so-called tobacco trust is engaged
in the business OF manufacturing pipe.
cigarette and chewing tobaccos from
raw materials. The tobaccos which 1t
uses in its business are exclusively
of American growth. The cigar tobac-
cos grown in tropical countries like
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines
are not used by the tobacco trust, and
whether there is or is not duty upon
such tobaccos is a matter in which the
tobacco trust naturally has not the
slightest interest on earth.
The question of protection OF Ameri-
can industries is but one Of the slight
est of the arguments used in support
ing a tariff upon Puerto Rican pro-
ducts. The persons who would receive
an infinitesimal degree Of protection
under the proposed tariff, and the only
ones who would be protected at all. are
the growers of cigar wrapper tobaccos
IN Connecticut and Wisconsin, the su-
gar cane growers Of louisiana and the
beet sugar growers of Nebraska, Cali
,ornia, Utah and Washington. II these
growers have united in a trust, the
TACT has thus far escaped public OBJ
;eryation.

NEED OR BIG WAR VESSELS.

When we are informed that the house
committee on naval affairs is to rec
ommend appropriations Of $4,000. 900,
ard that this sum is so largely in ex-
cess Of the precedents that the near
est approach to it was in 1892. when
$4,000 900 was appropriated. We are apt
to ask If the new navy has not sudden
ly become a most expensive luxury.
But a little reflection will show that
the expenditures which are suggested
are imperative If we wish to rank with
first-class naval powers.
The estimates includes s12.OOOOOO for
two battleships of 1880 tons each, SIS
100000 for three armored cruisers of
100000 tons each, and $13,5OO.OOO for
three protected cruisers of 5000 tons
each. Here is the bulk Of the appro-
priation. and it is just in these large
and costly vessels that we are most
deficient.
The new battleships named for the
states which we are now turning out
number eight and range from 1855 to
1850 tons. Our armored cruisers, the
New York and Brooklyn, are Of s,215
tons and $500 respectively Boats Of
the Chicago type are much smaller,
4,5O0 tons. The whole fleet built and
building includes but the two armored
cruisers, six protected cruisers, twelve
first-class battleships, four being old
and Of an inferior kind, and one sec-
ond-class battle ship.
England has seventy battleships, all
told, and Of these nine are $4,000 tons
each. Her fleet Of cruisers is stin
larger and includes six Of 1900 tons,
one Of 14,10O tons and two Of 1920
tons.
France has thirty-eight hattleships,
two of them being of 12,O52 tons each,
and forty cruisers, three Of which are
of 10000 tons each, while fourth is
of 11,270 tons.
Japan has six first-class battleships
ranging from 1850 to 1920 tons, and
seven armOred cruisers ranging from
9,436 to $3.50 tons. Russia has total
Of twenty-eight battleships of all
classes, including one Of 12,7OO tons
and one of 13.1OO tons, and twenty-nine
cruisers, including one Of 1896 tons
and another Of 1870 tons. In Italy's
fleet are fourteen battleships, the two
largest being of 1890 and 1854 tons.
Germany has sixteen battleships and
twenty cruisers of all types, but, like
ourselves, is deficient in modern big
boats. Her five new battleships are
OF 11,18O tons each.
The tendency, 1t will be seen, is to-
ward very powerful battleships and
armored cruisers, and they must be
matched by vessels of their own kind.
1t was, therefore. very wise in secre-
tary Long and Admiral Dewey to rec
ommend changes from the original
plans Of the navy department which
sighted the battleships entirely and
provided only for three new armored
crusiers, three small protected cruisers
of about $500 tons each and twelve

The Human Machine.

In the Complies Rendus M. Chauveau
has published the results of the expert
ments which he undertook to determine
the mechanical efficiency Of the human
body as compared with that, say, Of a
steam engine. The experiments were
based upon an ingenious modification
of the classical experiments of Watts
and Rumford. He found that when the
human subject was doing useful work
at the rate of 255 thermal units per hour
he also radiated from his body extra
heat amounting to SIT thermal units
per hour. The thermal efficiency of the
human mechanism is therefore about
24.3 per cent, calculated in the usual
way-that is to say, about the same as a
modern gas engine.-Chicago Tribune.
