The estimate Of the German naval
year book for 1902, which says that
within four years the United States
navy will rank third among the nayies
Of the world, Is gratifying evidence
OF the recognition accorded to Ameri-
can military progress by foreign coun-
tries, This estimate is, of course,
based on the program of construction
given out by the navy department and
covering the ensuing four years, but
there is no reason to anticipate that it
will not be carried out. It Is generally
conceded, although certain individuals
contest the point, that the increased
military strength of the United States
will not only demand the respect of for
eigp nations, but that 1t will make for
peace. The promptness with which
certain belligerent foreign journals
used to suggest an appeal to arms
whenever this country found 1t neces,
sary to give warning against a viola
tion of the Monroe doctrine, is fast dis
appearing and will soon fall into disue.
tude. Admiral O'Neil, chief of the bu-
reau of ordnance, has just announced
that the battleships Connecticut and
Louisiana, authorized at the last SEES,
sion of congress, will be provided with
main turret guns with length of for
ty-five calibers. Not only will this In
crease their range and velocity, but it
will remove the objection found to ex-
list with shorter guns. that, after the
second shot has been fired from them,
some time must elspse before the see,
ondary battery can be fired. for the
reason that the smoke from the dis
charge of the first guns Immediately
over the second battery ports has rem
dered 1t impossible to sight the latter.
The new guns will project so far over,
board that this difficulty will be no
longer met with.

Admonition THAT Aamonfxhea.

Patrick and Bridget, with their
bright young son Mickey, of whom both
were excessively fond, were taking a
walk in Central park one Sunday morn
ing, Mickey was not a bad boy, and did
not intend to be disobedient; but he
couldn't long remember, amid so many
diyerting sights and incidents, his
mothers oft-repeated caution to keep
off the grass At last Patrick noticed,
became vexed, and decided to inter-
eene in the interest of family disci-
pine. Removing his dudeen from his
mouth and glancing fercely at Mickey
for moment he Numbered to the ter-
rified youngster: "Look a-here, ye
young shpalpeen, when yer mither tells

tourists by rope when one of the

of frozen snow which ended in a prec-

the momentum, the guide jumped over
the precipice, causing a jerk which
drove his companions feet through the
frozen surface but left hirA hanging
over the precipice. The tourists then
cut foothold in the snow and hauled
the guide back to terra firma.

Ohio Professor Talks About Skeleton
Found at Lansinu

Oberlin, O.. Dec. 11.-Professor G.. Fred
erick Wright arrived home this morning
from a lecture tour through the west.
While there he investigated the geological
situation at Lansing, Kan, where a
human skeleton was recently found buried
deep in the Accommodations of ages. Prof.
Wright's views upon the subject are not
only interesting, but authoritative He
said:
The skeleton is probably more than
10000 years old. 1t was found under the
loess formed by the glaciers centuries
ago, and is in excellent state of preserva-
ton A peculiar thing about the skull
which bothers some scientists, is that it
is closely patterned after the human skull
Of today. very closely resembling an In
dian skull. The reason that some scien-
fists doubt the authenticity of the skull
is because they have figured out success
sive stages in the evolution of man and
have given certain lengths of time to each
stage. As this new ivedence makes void
al their theories, of course they are slow
to admit its reliability
1t is of great Importance that the date
OF the glacial age should be fixed as ex-
acuy as possible. for it is practically
certain that in this way we shall be able
to set the most light on the age of the
human race. The condition at Lansing
are almost exactly the same as those in
Kief. Russia, where remains have been
&c und. which were brought to my atten-
ton on my Asiatic tour last year"
