A NEW CHINESE NAVY.

The Chinese still possess the port OF
Chefoo, and are bent on organizing &
new navy there. Their present wal
marine is very small. AS our readers
will remember, the respectable fleet
which the Chinese owned at the begin
ming of the year 1894, and which includ-
ed the two formidable battleships, Chen
Yuen and Ting Yuen, was destroyed at
wei-heisWai,' after having been sur
rounded and attacked in that port for
nearly three weeks. The defeat, how
ever, was not disgraceful one, and it
was preceded by such powerful show
ing at the drawn battle of the Yalu as
to warrant the Chinese in feeling that,
under proper training and opportunity
they might be able to cut no mean
figure on the high seas.
The present plan involves, not only
the building of suitable ships, but the
requirement, as a naval instructor, OF
Lord Charles Beresford. 1t cannot be
said that the treatment given to the
former British naval teacher, Admiral
James, was such as to encourage Lord
Charles Beresford or any other sailor
of his character to trust himself in
Chinese hands; but after all, the world
moves, and even the Mongol horde
moves with it; and in the school of
dtdt C4PCiicHcC lhc Hdh oil LiCu VI SHihet
have perhaps learned that the more re-
spect they show to Western teachers
of their art<the better they will be
prepared to meet the exigencies of the
future.
That the Chinaman, is a natural and
reliable seaman those who live on the
routes of Pacific ocean travel do not
need to be told. He is obedient, skill
full and not apprehensive of danger. At
the Yalu he fought well. All he needed
were good officers of his own race, and
that he did not have these was due, not
so much TO a want of natural capacity
for sea command as to the bad meth
DDS of selection at Picking. Admiral
Ting, foB} example, was given his sea
rank because of his success as gen.
eral Of cavalry in Manchuria. 1t hap
pened in$ his case that the transfer
from land to water did no harm; for
the Admiral was as much command
er on the quarter deck as the General
had been on the back of his Manchu
pony. But captains who had been
farmers and lieutenants who had ped
died rice and snavigators who had
learned their trade by polling house
boats were not so successful. Yet even
they got their fleet, with small losses, |
out of the iron clutches of Japan in
the fight of the Yalu river.
1t is a recognition of these facts
which may lead the powers that now |
have China under surveillance, to in |
terdict the new naval policy. From !
their point of view it is not wise to in
culcate in the Chinese a more martial 1
spirit, nor to let them build fleets which |
some other power may find a pretext
for seizing before the Chinese learn TO
fight But if the foreigners hold aloof i

FAST TRAVEL.

Three weeks between London and
sydney seems a short time to cover a
long distance, but the suggestion, as
made by the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany, analyses well. 1t is now ten
days at the minimum between London
and San Francisco, but this time. it is
believed, will be materially cut down
by improvements in the carrying sery-
ice Turbine steamships, if they realize
expectations, will cross the Atlantic in
three days and a half. The railroads
nope TO cut down the trip from New
ork TO San Francisco, per limited
trains, to the same time, making one
week between London and San Fran
cisco, and leaving two weeks for the
voyage to Sydney under present con-
ciions OF steam transportation. OF
course II turbine steamers do we'll on
the Atlantic their use on the Pacific
will not be long delayed.
Such vessels would also shorten the
voyage round the world to such an ex-
tent that one could take it as an Incl
dent of a summer vacation. The trans
siberian railroad expects to reach, with
the aid OF steamships and foreign rail-
roads as now run, a Schedule of thirty
two days; bit with the turbine system
on the water and limited trains on the
land, enc may yet be able to make the
grand tour in twenty-five days.
Things move fast in these times 1t is
but few years ago that Jules Verne

mate achievement.

mind to revert to the contemplation OF
these misty and irdistinct astronomical
subjects to measure their magnitude
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons.
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such conlpari-

Of our sun exceeds that Of the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great

AN UNQUlET SPIRIT.
The Mysterious Light That For Years
Haunted Cape Nois.

haunted Sape NoAT.
For many years on Cape Noir, the
western point Of Maria. a strange
light was seen, dancing and moving
about in the most unaccountable man
ner. At one moment it would rise like
q column Of fire into the air, and at an
other time it would fall like meteor.
Then it would seem to leap over the
point and drop into the sea, afterward
appearing again in the same spot on
the hillside. The habitants tell this
story about it:
In the time Of the war for the pos
session Of Canada a French vessel,
pursued by an English warshlp,
steered it's course into the bay at this
point for refuge. A boat was lowered
from the side of the richly laden mer-
chairman, and in this thirteen men
swiftly rowed to the shore. Their OBJ
iect was to secrete a chest Of gold
which they had brought with them. On
reaching the point they drew lots to
see which Of the men should remain
to guard the treasure. The one to
whom the lot fell was forced to swear
a solemn oath, BIZ land and sea. bv
night and day, by the ruler Of the
neither world. that he would be faithful
to the trust through life, unless re-
lieved by his returning comrades, and
even after dSath would haunt the spot
should no one come to take his place,
says a writer in the Era.
To secure the fulfllment of this VOW
his wicked associates then and there
put him to death and buried him with
the treasure. The ghostly light was
supposed to be the spirit Of the mur-
dered man, and many persons who,
tempted by the hope Of recovering the
treasure, ventured into the haunted
spot fed in terror and told blood
curdling stories Of the horrible phan-
toms and frightful sights which they
had witnessed. The light is seen no
longer. Perhaps some adventurer
bolder than the rest succeeded in dis
covering the gold, carried it off and
thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit.

His query was treated with silent
contempt, and for an hour he sat on
the doorstep and smoked. Then bet
ter feeling took possession Of him and
he decided to forgive Mrs. Bowser for
her reckless extravaganza. 1t was too
late to chase lambkins DER the deWy
fields, as the dew had all been sucked
