The pessimism of President Barratt
and other members of the National As
sociation of Spiritualism, voiced at the
New YoIk meeting is warranted by the
facts. Spiritritualism and its sister
cult, theosOphy, have lost all their nov
city and in doing so, have lost all
their attractiveness. 1t would be re-
assuring to believe that the decline of
interest i'll spiritualism was due to a
demonstration of the humbug that is
at the bottom of so much that is asso-
ciated with its phenomena of medium
ship. But it is to be feared that, how
ever clear the exposure of the fraud in
mediumship has been to certain minds.
for others it has been as if nothing had
been established.

THE NEW BATTLESHIP OHIO.
Has Just Been Launched at San Francisco
With Impressive Ceremonies.

Has Just Been Launched at San Francisco
With Impressive Ceremonies.
The progress which has been made
in shipbuilding since the early days of
the Republic is strikingly illustrated
in the battleship Ohio, which is soon
to be launched at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco. There was an
Ohio in the navy more than three
quarters of a century ago, which, after
many years of use, was sold in 1888
for the modest sum of $17, 100. This
warship, which in its day was regarded
as fine specimen of the fighting ma
chine, was 1913 feet long and with all
its sails spread presented a handsome
spectacle. The armament consisted of
"a muzzle-loading guns, 12 S-inch and
72 32-pounders. In round numbers
this specimen of the naval architecture
of 1920 cost the Government $3.50, 900,
and doubtless was worth every cent of
the amount expended upon it.
of steel. The Ohio of 1920 had walls
of wood which would be shattered into
splinters by one broadside from the
guns of the twentieth century battle
ship. The new Ohio is 1888 feet long
and 72 feet wide at its broadest sec
tion.
The new Ohio does not depend upon
wind or tide, but can steam away in u
storm OF in a calm whenever the order
is given. With its engines of 10000
horse power it can rush through the
water at speed of nearly 81 miles an
hour. In the bunkers of this modern
fighting machine can be stored 1000
tons of coal, enough fuel for a cruise
of 5000 miles at half speed. The old
Ohio IN stormy weather was not a
pleasant place of abode. No matter
what the weather may be, the new
will be found comfortable between
decks. 1t has machines for making
ice, cold storage for provisions, and is
brilliantly illuminated by electric
light. The cost of the new ship is
about six times as great as that of the
old, including armament. It's weight
is II, 44O tons, which is less than the
weight of some of the ships of the
European navies. This year, for in
stance, the British Government will
begin the construction of three battle
ships of $4,000 tons each, and naval
experts predict that the size limit
will not have been reached even
then. Merchant ships have already
exceeded the limit, the transatlantic
liner Celtic, which was launched at
Belfast few weeks ago, having the
enormous displacement of 80, 900 tons.
Tho battleship Ohio is one of a trio
OF warskips which will be superb addi-
ditions to the United States Navy.
The other two ships are the Maine and
the Missouri.

A Curious Coincidence

The letters 20 y" might be supposed
to possess a mysterious charm. as they
form the termination of many of the
most distinguished names in history.
No other letters of the alphabet will
furnish so remarkable n coincidence as
may be found i'm the following list
made up from ancient and modern
names: Aaron. Solomon. Agamemnon,
Scion. Bion. Phocion, Bacon. Newton.
Johnson, Addison, Crichton. Person,
Button. Montfaucon. Tillotson, Fene-
lon, Massillon. Warburton. Leighton.
Lytton, Walton, Anacreon, Ben jon
son. Milton. Byron. Thomson. Tenny-
son, Arson. Washington, Napoleon,
Wellington, etc.
A Greek scholar has called attention
to n very curious coincidence about the
name of Napoleon. If you take away
the first letter of his name. you have
"apoleon;" take away the first letter of
that word. and you have ''poleon;" do
this successfully down to the last syl-
liable, and you nave ''leon," Icon" and
"on." Put these several words togeth-
er in this order. Napoleon on oleon leon
con apoleon poleon. and you have a
Greek phrase the literal translation of
which is Napoleon, being the lion of
peoples, went about destroying cities"
