NAVIES OF THE NATIONS.
Figures Regarding Them Gathered
From a German Authority.


From the London Standard.
From the German naval year book for
1902, commonly called THE Nauticus," is
taken the following summary Of the navies
of the world, according to the latest sta
tistics. To enable the reader to draw
proper comparison between England and
the other powers the year 1906 Is selected,
when the French and Russian programs
will be carried out, as well as the new adj
ditions voted In other states this year.
Only battle ships and large cruisers of over
5000 tons which were not launched prior to
1880 and 1854 respectively, are taken into
copsideration. According to this reckon
irg. in 1896 England will have 81 battle
ships, 80 of them over 10000 TONS with an
aggregate displacement of 765, 600 tons, and
70 large cruisers, 70 protected, with an ag
gregate displacement of 64S,44O tons
France Will have 81 battle ships % over
10000 tons, totaling 3f9, 100 tons, and -
cruisers. % protected, OF 2i3, III tons. Rus
STA VIII have % battle ships, 10 over 10000
tons, of 247,24I tons, and 10 cruisers 5 pro-
tected, of 10000 tons. The United States
will have 20 battle ships, 10 over 10000 tons
of 24S 294 tons, and 10 cruisers, IL protected
of 1861 tons. Germany will have 10 bat
tie ships, Is over 10000 tons Of 2l24,5
tons, and IL cruisers, protected, Of 81, $50
tons. Italy will have Is battle ships, IL
over 10000 tons, of 1S9,2O7 tons, and q
cruisers, all protected, Of 39,S13 tons.
Japan will have battle ships. 9 over 10, 600
tons, of 1851 tons, and cruisers, all pro
tecteG of IS, 776 tons.
1t is evident that England alone is. as far
as battle ships are concerned, superior to
the combined Franco-Russian forces.
France shows considerable progress IN
strong fleet Of protected cruisers, being
only a little behind that Of England. while
Russia and Germany lay principal stress
on battle ships The United States are
quickly proceeding In both directions. but
will hardly be able to man their ships as
rapidly as they build them.

SDrunks' in New York Police Court

From the Century Magazine.
1t is Characteristic of almost all the pris-
oners except the drunks that their chief
concern is to secure a delay. They plead
and beg for adjournment, which they
know will only postpone the inevitable for
day two. and that, although, through
their inability to obtain bail, they will have
TO stay in prison just the same. The most
plausible explanation is that they all are
fataiists always hoping that something IN
expected may turn up to stave of the i'm
pending catastrophe. The DRINKS, on the
other hand are more eager to face the ar
bitter of their fates, knowing that nothing
worse than fine is likely to befall them,
bnd that the sooner II is imposed the sooner
ii may be paid or served off. And then
shere is the chance, IL the magistrate is In
good humor, that they may get away I'M
Acathed at once.
AS a rule, although not seldom still In
their cups, they are loath to make any In

EXODUS TO TEMIsKAMING.
Many Americans Finding Homes in
the North Woods Of Canada.

Toronto Corr. New York Tribune
A great deal has been said and written
lately regarding the way In which the vast
Northwest Territory is filing up with set
tiers from the United States. While II Is
doubtless true that many residents OF the
western border states are merely crossing
the line to find homes on the Canadian side,

Prehistoric Man in Burmah.


To the Zoologist r. c. J. Swinhoe con-
tributes some important notes On prehis-
toric man In Burmah. It will be remem-
bered that In 1894 DR.. F. Noetling an
nounced in the records Of the geological
survey of India the discovery in a bed of
ferruginous conglomerate at the oil fields
of Yenangyoung Of worked fints in asso-
citation with the remains Of Hipparion an
tilopinus and Rhinoceros perimensis, thus
carrying back the existence of man in that
country to the older Pliocene or upper Mo-
Gene. A year later r. d. Oldham expressed
the opinion that. in the first place. the flints
are not confined to the ferruginous con-
glomerate; and, secondly, that they are not
Clipped by man. AS the result of a recent
visit to the locality Mr.. Swinhoe confirms
DR.. Meetings. view that the Clipped f1fnts,
and likewise certain facetted bones, are the
works of mems hands; but, on the other
hand, he regards them as of the palae olithic
age, the place where they were found being
apparently a workshop of that period

FEW AMERICAN SAILORS.
Though Captains Prefer Them
Those Of Other Nationalities.

From the American Shipbuilder.
1t Is fact to be regretted that sailors
born in the United States are becoming
| fewer at this port every succeeding year.
Or the seamen employed in the coasting
trade We dare say three-fourths are Scan
dinavians, and most Of those employed on
| our yachts are Of the same nationality. 1t
is cited curious fact that many of the
Scandinavians were not sailors in their own
country. but. coming here to get work Of
any kind, fell in with their countrymen at
cided to go to sea. Strong and enduring,
they make good sailors, and, 1t Is prophe-
sled, bid fair to drive out all other nationali-
ties. But for all this the captains of deep
sea- ships all agree that they prefer native
American sailors to all others.
1t Is well known that the modern ship
| differs very much from the ship Of twenty
five years ago; her rigging Is OF steel and
the sails are hoisted and the capstan is
worked by steam, while there are various
mechanical contrivances, such as patent
halyards and blocks. Therefore, to handle
her rightly requires more intelligence than
was formerly requisite for sailor. 1t takes
less than one-half as many men to handle
a ship of, say, 2,O0O tons as 1t did twenty
five years ago, but they must be good men,
And It Is agreed that the American sailors
can do the work on modern vessel as no
other sailors can. They are quick bright
and handy They can do anything and al
ways be depended on in an emergency crisis
for they rise to the occasion.
The reason for the scarcity of American
sailors Is that there Is not sufficient induce
ments for them. They can make better
living ashore, and more easily, than they
can at sea. Besides, II native American
goes to sea and does not become an officer
in six years or 30 he leaves. Most OF them
do become officers, and there would be more
American sailors II there was more money
for them. Foreign seamen prefer American
vessels because they receive better treat
ment on them than on ships of any other
country, the only other nation coming any
where near to us being the British, since
the passage OF the PiimsoI laws.
In recently built American vessels, even
on the coasters, the unwholesome and
cramped forecastles between decks next to
the bows exist no longer. In its place Is
the forward house." a roomy, well-lighted
structure. As rule the food Of sailors on
American vessels Is better than the law re-
quires. The seamen themselves bear testi-
mony to this statement. Only few dec
ades back 1t was rare thing to find a for
eigner in the cabin Of an American vessel,
and the crew was composed almost exclu-
sively Of bright. active, ambitious American
boys and young men. many of whom soon
worked their way up to be officers, and car
ried the stars and stripes on every sea, In
every commercial harbor Of the globe flying
proudly over the finest wooden ships the
world has ever seen.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OF A NEW oATARRH CURE.


large and constantly Increasing majority of the
American people are catarrh sufferers This is not
entirely the result OF changeable climate but
because modern investigation has clearly proven
i that many diseases known by other names are
really catarrh Formerly the name catarrh was
applied almost exclusively TO the common nasal
catarh, but the throat. stomach, liver bladder.
kidneys and intestfnes are subject to catarrhal
diseases as well the nasal passages
In fact. wherever there is mucous membrane
there is a feeding ground for catarrh.
The usual remedies. inhalers. sprays douehes
or powders. have been practically failures as far
as anything more than temporary relief was con-
cerned, because they simply dry up the mucous
secretions, without having the remotest effect
upon the blood and liver, which are the real
sources Of catarrhal diseases.
1t has been known for some years that the
radical cure Of catarrh could never come from
local applications. but from an internal remedy
acting on the blood and expeliing the catarrhal
poison from the system.
new internal preparation which has been en-
the market only a short time, has met with re-
markabe success genuine radical cure for
catarrh.

of the wonders Of Temiskaming that they
brought home with them attrac cited the at

many wrote to acquaintances on the Ameri-

themselves what the country was like. The
result was that there have been more ex-

SOAP FACTORY
Will Remove Outside
the City.
Mr.. Adam Duncan Contracts For
a New Building.

The conflict between the Health
Board OF the city, and Mr.. Adam
Duncan, proprietor Of the Akron Soap
Co., has at last taken a turn which
will mean the abatement of all the
trouble. Mr.. Duncan, at the time bis
case was last heard, in which he was
charged with maintaining a nuisance,
was given until June 1 to abate that
nuisance. June / came and there was
no indication that there would be an
immediate abatement, so visit was
made to the place by Sanitary Police
man NJ. w. Hoye, few days ago,
with the result that Mr.. Duncan was
at City Hall, Monday morning.
There was long conference there
and then Mr.. Duncan announced his
plans. and secured another continu-
ance of the case until June 20, by
which time he expects to have new
factory completed. Mr.. Duncan states
that he has already given the contracts
for new two story structure, 60x100
feet, to which the soap factory will be
removed as soon as the building is
ready.
Thus ends case that has been the
cause of a great deal of litigation.

Findlay, o., June AUST ON the east
ern edge Of this city's most aristo-
cratic quarter stands modest, newly
erected frame structure, which has re-
Gently attracted great deal of at
tention. The building stands at the
rear and north side of a lot owned by
Mrs. Manda James, and faces WASH
ington avenue. 1t Is unique In the
respect that IL is owned by woman
and Is to be used as house of wor-
ship.
Mrs. James Is widow with three
children. She is of medium size and
of rather prepossessing appearance.
Last February some of her neighbors
of deeply religious turn Of mind be-
gan holding meetings at the home Of
Mrs. James. The little band grew in
numbers until it reached about forty.
Several weeks ago Mrs. James claims
to have had vision in which the
Lord appeared and commanded her
to build church on her lot. At the
same time He unfolded the plans and
gave her the exact location. The build
ing Is Il frame structure. 20x40 feet
one-story high and covered with a
slate roof. The accompanying illustra'
tion shows the church and the James
residence, together with Mrs. James,
her children and the builders.
A remarkable feature of the building
of the church is the fact that Mrs
James did most of the work with her
own hands. She has been assisted in
the building of the church by three
male members of her faith, two OF
whom are one-armed men.

BUILT BY A WOMAN.
The Backyard Church Which Has Attracted
Much Attention at FndIay.

Some years ago Mrs. James and her
husband separated, the latter marry
ing again. Since then Mrs. James has
supported her little family by doing
janitor work in the Standard OIL and
other offices of the city. her working
hours being from ) o'clock in the even
ing until, midnight. When she began
the erection Of her church, relatives in
stituted lunacy proceedings against
her. giving as reason that they
thought she would dissipate her means
and be unable to support her children
When the day of the trial came her
neighbors rallied to her support, and
the case was promptly dismissed. One
of her neighbors in giving her testimony
stated that Mrs. James was the only
woman in the neighborhood who didn't
gossip and who attended strictly to her
own business.
When asked what her object in build
| ing the church was she stated that 1t was
in obedience to the vision of the Lord,
and, second, to provide house of wor-
ship for those who shared her belief and
to gather the children of the neighbor-
hood into the place for Bible instruc'
ton on Sunday afternoon. When COM
pleted the church will cost about $500,
most of which will be met by Mrs.
James. The windows were put In
place Saturday, and the first services
I'm the building were held Sunday. The
nelghbors call those who worship
with her Shouting Methodists," but
they call themselves Holiness People,
and have christened their little house
of worship Gods Holiness Chapel.
