Thirty-one vessels of all classes pass
ed through their steam trials and were
added to the effective list of the British
navy last year This number embraces
six battleships of 50, 900 tons, collectively;
four armored cruisers of 5000 tons, col
lectively; one third class cruiser, of 2200
tons; three sloops of 3210 tons, collective
ly; thirteen torpedo-boat destroyers, of
about 1000 tons, and three torpedo boats
of $40 tons, making a grand total of about
143, $50 tons. The trials have in the main,
been satisfactory, and given results ex-
ceeding the calculated speeds. In the
appended table giving the principal data
of the steam trials of battleships and
mored cruisers, those vessels indicated
by an asterisk had their speeds taken by
log, while the other speeds were taken by
runs over a measured mile course. The
trials were under full power and eight
hours duration:

Six battleships OF $1,000 tons and ten
armored cruisers of 11s,6OO tons were
launched during 1901 for the British navy.
OF this fleet four battleships, CORVALLIS,
Duncan, Exmouth and Russell, of $1,000
tons. collectively, were built at private
yards, while the Albemarle and Mon
tague, of 5000 tons, collectively, were
constructed at dock yards. The armored
cruisers Good Hope, King Alfred and
Leviathan, of 14,1CO tons each, and the
Bedford and Monmouth, of $500 tons,
were built by contract. The armored
cruisers Bachante and Euryalus, of 300
tons each, the Drake, of 141OO tons. and
the Essex and Kent, OF $500 tons each,
were built in dock yards. Fifty-six and
one-quarter per cent of the ships and
nearly IS per cent of the tonnage was
built by contract, leaving a very fair
proportion as the share of the dock
yards OF smaller vessels, exclusive of
destroyers, the sloops Fantome, Merlin
and Odin, of 1910 tons each, were all built
in government yards.

that he was not alarmed because the YES

The Eate's Fault.

Superintendent Andrew Brown says
that he was not responsible for the de-
lay of the Sonoma TO complete her wa

the mate, who ordered the carpenter to
disconnect the hose at l o'clock. This
was done, and just previous to the So
noma sailing the carpenter reported to
the mate that there was not enough wa
ter in the tanks for the voyage The
city waterman merely obeyed orders in

Sen Mist and London Gloom Have
Nothing In Common.
The fog of London and the fog OF
the sea alike discompose traffic, and
Dmnibuses and steamships alike have
had to lay to for safety. But while
the London fog gets into your inmost
room and battles even the electric light
though the candle comes out trtum-
phant curiously-the densest fog at
sea does not disturb the saloon or the
stateroom. Why is that?
The word fog" has not been traced
further back than the sixteenth Gen.,
tury, but the thing was known In the
early years Of the fourteenth. The
commons, with the prelates and mobiles
visiting London for the parliaments
and on other occasions, united to pet-
ton Edward |. to compel the burning
only of dry wood and charcoal, as the
growing use Of sea coal corrupted the
air with it's stink and smoke, to the
great prejudice and detriment Of
health. In 1906 the king prohibited
the use of coal. Heavy ransom and
fines were inflicted for disObedience.
In the case of recalcitrant brewers, dy-
ers and other artilicers the furnaces
and kilns were destroyed. But the re-
striction was evidently removed, for IN
1908 S25O-probably equal 10 about S4,-

The Game Destroying Locomotive.
Said railroad engineer: "The aver

waited and did not seem at all afraid.
When at last it did get up, the engine
was so close that it struck the bird
and tossed it to one side, dead.
"But the strangest experiences ever
had were in the south. | was running
an engine on the Queen and Crescent
road, which goes through Lake Pont-
chartrain on long trcstle. Ducks and
other water fowl were numerous on
the lake, and the sight Of headlight
seemed to attract them. Just as the
light in a lighthouse attracts many
birds. One night we struck flock OF
ducks that smashed into the engine
and cab rs though 1t were raining
them from the clouds. They broke the
forward windows of the cab. and we
gathered up enough ducks for two

The capable young man, with some
practical experience in farming and a
good education, is in great demand.
This fact is demonstrated by the testi.
mony of the presidents of agricultural
colleges. They invariably report that
there are more calls for their graduates
than there are capable men for the po-
sitions offered. In fact, this is true not
only in agriculture, but in other oceu'
pations. The trouble seems to be that
the average young man is not willing to
work out his own salvation. He wants
to begin at the top instead of at the bot
tom. The youngster who begins at the
top is very apt to land at the bottom,
while he who begins on the ground floor,
and who means business, is pretty sure
to reach the top round of the ladder

portunities as exist to-day for plain,

The scarcity of farm help promises to
be as much of a troublesome question
the coming season as in any recent year.
In fact, good help seems little more
difficult to secure each season than the
one Immediately preceding. As for
some time past, the close employment OF
labor in factories and in all industrial
channels takes up the surplus. A feat
ure this spring is the evident impress
sion on the part of the farm laborer that
owing to the generally high prices pre-
vailing he should have more money.
The situation emphasizes the necessity
of farmers advantageously planning and
carrying on their work so that it may be
done with a minimum of hired help.
Fortunately, present increased capacity,
through up-to-date machinery and farm
Implements, offers aid in this direction.

siding officer, himself farmer, was 80
unbecomingly dressed that it was sig
nally damper upon the whole affair.
1t cast sort of gloom over the heart Of
the speakers. Not one of them was
at his best. Men came struggling in, SO
shabbily attired that it was difficult to
speak with feeling and reverence Of the
farmers calling. One felt rather like
denouncing them and their profession
and denying belonging to the fraternity.
And, then and there, one writer and
speaker decided to devote time to the
writing of many talk upon the sin and
shame of farmers making of themselves
targets for remark and denunciatiOn.
If man has so little respect for and
interest in his farming and farm home
that he feels it not incumbent upon him
to make the best possible appearance at
his home institute, let him remain away.
If he has not respectable clothes let him
purchase them, and then wear them
every day for time at least, and thus
accustom himself to feeling at ease
rather than awkward and out of place in
them. There is no excuse for any man
to shame the people whom lie helps to
represent.
Speaking of this detrimental feature
met with at agricultural Institutes to a
woman co-worker in another part of the
United States, she replied that she had
met with this same ordeal in her travels
as lecturer and speaker, but that one
winter in particular that she readily and
most graciously recalled quite the
reverse was the rule. She spoke Of the
uplifting influence thus exercised over
her OWE work in the cause of agriculture
and agricultural people. II spoke to
and for them as l had not deemed it
possible for me to speak" she said.
And she told of the men, old and young,
who attended institute sessions fault

CARRYING themselves with an air OF inde-
pendence and pride that gave force and
actual beauty to the very word farmer"
They were gentlemen farmers. Nor by
gentle farmers was it meant that they
simply owned landed estates. They also
labored on the farms. They were up
to date farmers, well read men, refined
and intelligent, as careful of personal
appearances as though their business
was dispensing law or medicine or sell
ing dry goods.-MRs. NELLIE HAWKES.,

Of life to be able to look back on the
years that are past and to feel that you
have lived not for yourself alone, but
that you have been useful to others.
You may be assured also that the
same feeling is a source Of comfort
and happiness at any period of life.
Nothing in this world Is so good as
usefulness. 1t binds your fellow crea-

ORIGIN of Word GringO.

The word "gringo," which Mexicans
apply to Americans when speaking OF
them with contempt, is said to have
had it's origin thus: During the Mexi-
can war our soldiers got into the hab-
1t of calling the simple Mexican SOL
diers whom they took prisoners green
les" to signify their ignorance OF
things in general and Of military tao
tics especially. The Mexicans retaliat-
ed by calling the Americans "greenos,"
and this word finally degenerated into
"prinpos."

learned that subjecting a COW to the
