kinu Edwards Navy.

A picturesque and significant feature
of the coronation Of Edward VII, when
it takes place will be the naval salute
by every British war vessel in
whatever part Of the world il may
happen to be. Thus in almost
every important port on the globe
and even on the desolation of the
seas the historic event of a Kings cor
onation will be heralded and the I'M
questioned naval supremacy of Great
Britain will be emphasized. This dem
onstratiOn will dramatically impress
the world with the extent of the Brit
ish empire and the provision that has
been made for its defense. Long ago
England resolved that to maintain its
mastery of the seas it should keep its
naval strength ut least twice that of
any power of Europe. This has put a
heavy burden on England but there
has been no pause in the augmentation
OF it's fleets. This year, for instance,
it will add p new vessels of all types
to the already great array of warshps,
while % of the old vessels will be i'm
world will hear that salute, this week,
with which the greatest of navies
greets it's King. Of this salute around
the world now happily postponed for a
time, the London Telegraph says
The homage of King Edward s
fleets, rolling from shore to shore, will
ada yet another impression of Empire
to all our experiences and make us feel,
as we have never felt before, that Eng
land, with Il foot on every Continent
and a fleet in every sea, is the on, and
only Power which, as the old ballad
has it, can rise with the sun and ride
with the same until the next morning
he riseth again. So the
whole circle of Empire will be eX-
pressed by the most wonderful girdla
Of sound which mai has ever yet put
about the earth. Nothing imag inabIe
| could have been better calculated tC
| interpret at once the glory and the
| genius of that vast political system
over which the coronation will solemn
/ ize King Edwards sway. We have
seen in the South African war that the
navy, and the navy alone, is the
| fundamental and Indispensable agency
by which the Empire subsists. Ever
in our warlike emergencies, the mos
purely military in appearance, oul
army would be of no more effect with
out sea supremacy than would the ar

The Illness of Kinu Edward.

The illness of King Edward, even
though it results in only a temporary
postpOnement of the coronation. is a
most serious matter and will cause
great apprehension and deep anxiety
in all parts Of the world. 1t is evident
that he was really sicker man than
the public was allowed to realize when
news of his indispOsition was given
out, last week, but he made an heroic
attempt to keep up until after the
coronation. Perhaps he and his
physicians, as well as the public, were
deceived as to the nature and extent Of
his y1nalady.
The universal regret that the elabor-
ate ceremonial of the coronation, for
which such extensive and expensive
preparations have been made. must be
postponed to an indefinite date, is lost
sight of in the public concern for the
health of the King. The whole world
joins Britain in hoping he will have q
speedy and complete recovery and not
only be crowned i'm the near future but
live to reign for many years as the be-
loved sovereign of his great empire.

Leeds offers excellent opportunities
to the young geological student to OBJ
serve several of the principles of the
text book. The manner in which peat
forms is plainly illustrated in certain
sections of the town, and especially is
this true in several places within a
radius of two miles of Curtis Corner.
Ponds of medium size have gradually
decreased until now they can scarcely
be termed anything except bog holes.
Water and horse lilies, numerous other
kinds of vegetable matter and snakes
abound in these places. The old resi-
dents of the town remember when these
pools of water were several times larger
than they are now, and they used to
fish on their banks. The ponds have
gradually decreased in depth and cir
conference. This is caused by the
growth of vegetable matter which de-
Gays and forms layer after layer on the
bottom. How long this process has con-
tinued is unknown, but it will probably
date back into remote ages when not
even the crafty red man roamed here
abouts through the woods in quest of
deer meat.
