Costly British WnrRhips.

The battlcships and cruisers now
building in the Government yards in
England, except Devonport, are cost
ing more than the estimates, save in
the single case of the Albemarle, in
which saving Of $4,000 was effected.
This is not such an indictment against
Government building rs it seems at
first sight, for the eight contract-built
hattlcships now building will exceed
their estimates by 100000 and tho
eleven cruisers by $S75,O00. At Devon.

Was It indeed but Il dream?
TO my heart YOU lay very near
And can so much happiness seem?
In the rush of the night you came;
My hair was stirred by yoG- breath,
And my blood would have leaped into
Had my sleep been the slumber OF
death.
And when you had kissed me, love,
\ rose you laid on my mouth,
Did you think I could traitorous prove ?
O one sweet flower of the South!

AS | drank in the roses perfume;
And a golden ccnser was swung
And glory EMBODIED the room.

One OF the steady improvements
noted in sheep raising is til" gradual
reduction Of the amount Of acreage
necessary to support Il flock Of sheep.
We nave always been cNtravHGani in
this respect. demanding two or three
times us much land TO support Il sheep
as in any OF the European countries.
In England. where sheep raising; has
always been the best and most highly
developed, they have one sheep to
every three acres. while We have aboim
one to every forty-iivc. This, of
course, does not Indicate that the Eng
liSh breeders support more sheep TO the
acre in every instance than we do
There arc instances in this cou&ry
where we do much better than any OF
our English brothers. But it does
show that we could expand our. sheep
industry about fifteen times without
raising more sheep 10 the acre than
they do in England.
The improvement noted. and which
should be extended much further, is
that of making every Il re supply
more food for the sheep, and in such
way that it would actually cost less
to raise sheep than it does on the
free range This, OF course, must be
accomplished by raising the right
crops. and by taking advantage Of the
Sleeps power to increase the fertility
OF the soil. The weeds, briars and
bushes in II field represent just 80
much waste Of space. The sheep will
not cat them ana they annually take
up SO much room. BY Gruhbing these
out it is possible TO improve The pas
turc without much help. The sheep
will ENop them Gown AMI n!lblc Ulf
any new sprouts that may appear.
But we first must take away the
weeds. bushes and briars to give the
sheep chance. The soil is always
highly fcrlilizcd by the sheep. and
their little feet compact the soil around
the roots Of grass plants so they are
less liable to injury by cold and thaw-
ing winter weather. Altogether sheep
improve our soil conditions. and
farm properly conducted should be
able to support from four to six sheep
where to-day they are feeding one
horse or steer.--E. r. Smith. in Ameri-
can Cultivator.

hand, ore which is blocked ont or cX-
posed on three sides. so that there can
be no doubt Of It's existence. and. on
the other. ore which may reasonably
be supposed to exist. The lahorS Of the
council. if fruitful. will be Of great
value to the prospective investor in
mining properties.
Instead OF blowing down coal in
mines by means Of dynamite. an Eng
liShmAn intends TO make use Of a
hydraulic cartridge which is said TO
ohviaic the waStcful Shattcring Of the
coal. The cartridge is twenty inches
in length. Oritlccs along its sides ad-
nit of the application of a pressure Of
some three tons per square inch. The
total pressure Is about sixty tons.
When inserted in hole the cartridg"
is coupled up with a small hand pump.
1t is said that in few minutes after
the apparatus has been ut work. the
Goa breaks up and falls in great
blocks. About one and onc-half pintS
of water are used in The operation.
One colliriy proprietor who has
adopted the Invention for use in three
mines computes that each cartridge
saves SO per week.

lowing: The possibility Of melting
carbon and maintaining it in liquid
condition has been demonstrated by
Dr. a. Ludwig. The heating was cf-
fected under great pressure in the elec-

condition, but was made to include n

of the pressure vessel. Though minute

powder thus obtained they were too
small to be Of commercial value.
