ture. Those who advocate medium cali
bered seacoast defense guns seem at pres
ent to have the better OF the argument. and
the War Department is inclined to adopt
medium duick-acting guns for the future.
On the other hand, the advocates of the ex-
tremely heavy armored battleships have
the best of the argument under present
conditions, and the Navy Department is in
clined to heavy battleships. Mr.. Lewis
Nixon, of New York, a graduate of the
Naval Academy, and a shipbuilder, favors
heavy battleships. He says he expects to
see the armor on battleships increase till
there will be no exposed parts where the
men are stationed; that the objects Of bat
tIeships is to fight and not run away; to
take blows and administer punishment at
short range; that the armored ship must be
such as to Withstand the penetration OF ex-
plosive shells; that the principal changes in
future will be protection against subma-
rine torpedo boats; that at present the only
thing battleship can do when menaced
by torpedo boat is to run away. He does
not approve of armor on the bottom OF
vessels, as 1t would make them too cum
bersome and hard to manage. He advances
no theory of protection against submarine
torpedoes. He thinks the future will devise
some submarine electrical apparatus by
means of which the submarine boat can
transmit disabling shock TO the men
serving the guns the battleships. In
this connection it is well to note the instru-
ment just discovered by Admiral Makaroff,
of the Russian navy. The instrument is
known as a radioson. Several successful
tests have already been made with it at
Cronstadt. BY connecting 1t with the mill
tary telephone the approach of torpedoes 20

% miles. The main function of this con-
sists in pointing out the exact location and
registering the speed of torpedoes. Experts
claim that nothing can prevent it from
doing this work properly; that 1t will reveal
the presence of the enemy just as well
during the most stormy night as during a
calm day: that it will. If desired, destroy
the torpedoes either automatically or at
the will of an official who may be several
niles away. IT, on further testing, this in
strument fully substantiates its claims, 1t

pletely eradicate torpedo boats as part of

ways be determined, and they would be de-
stroyed before approaching close enough
for danger or to use the submarine cleo
trical apparatus. Mr.. Nixon thinks the flu
ture will develop apparatus to disable the
gunners of the enemy.

The UnconquerabIe Soul.

Out OF the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole TO pole.
/ thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch Of circumstance
I have not WINGED or cried aloud,
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace OF the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
1t matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll;
1 am the master of my fate
] am the captain of my soul.

CURIOsITIES OF THE PEERAGE.
Striking Light on a Fascinating Sub.
ject.

London Mail.
The mysteries of the peerage of this
realm many and deep. Much light is
thrown upon this fascinating subject in the
new volume of "Dods Peerage" Sampson
Low, a work which has been known in the
parlors of Mayfair for sixty-three years
past.
In the first place, there are far more
titles in existence than peers to carry them.
Consequently, there are several peers who
are blessed with multiplicity Of titles:
The Duke of Atholl has. % titles
The Duke or Argyll ...................ll titles
The Duke of Hamilton ............ .16 titles
The Marquis of Butte .................15t titles
The Duke of Buccleuch ...............15 titles
The Duke OF Abercorn IL titles
The Marquis of Lansdowne .......... ~ titles
often the Oldest son of a peer carries his
fathers second title, though only by cour-
teSy. But even here there is no certainty:
for instance the heir apparent of the Lans-
downe family In alternate generations is
styled Earl of Kerry, and the title of Shell
burne disappears from view. Sometimes
the courtesy title of a peers heir apparent
grandson has no existence among his
fathers titles-Lord Trafalgar and Lord
BERTHE, for instance And at the present
moment nearly one hundred peers, or more
than one-third of the number whose sons
might bear courtesy titles are without sons
to bear them.
Singuarly enough, on the other hand, de-
spite this plethora of titles, there are a
dozen cases of multiplication of the same
title. There are five Lords Howard, five
Lords Hamilton, four Lords Grey, four
Boyle, three Lords Bruce, three Lords
Douglas, three Lords Hay, three Lords
Herbert three Lords Hill, three Lords
Montagu and duplicates in abundance.

IT now appears that the special

the county commissioners at their

able for this year, so far as it effects
the large corporations doing bust
ness and owning property in the
county. 1t seems that this tax is
Objectionable to the large compan-
les and they propose to test the
constitutionality of the law,
refusing to pay the tax in the
meantime. The Humbird Lum Der
Co. of Standpoint Will make the
fight but the railroad companies
will refuse to pay until the case is
passed upon. The general opinion
is that the courts will uphold the
law, but that does not prevent
roadwork being greatly retarded by
reason of the big companies fight
ing the law, and the delay will be
a source of much disappointment
to many localities where extensive
road work was planned and needed
The law governing the special road
tax has proven very popular and
tie highways of the county have
already been greatly improved bv
reason of it.

ed in knowing that the popular ex-
cursion steamer, the T. J. Potter

leave Portland during the season
every day from Tuesday until Sat-
urday inclusive. To see the beau
ties of the picturesque and mighty
Columbia from the decks of the

ten. For speed and grace nothing
in river or lake service in the en-.
tire west equals this side wheeled
beauty. Five hours from Portlar d
and one from Astoria, through the
famous fishing waters of the Col

and nets and as many whits-winged
fish boats, lands the passengers at
k IlwacO where close connection is
made for beach points with trains
of the Ilwaco Railway q Naviga-
tion company, whose cars stand on
the wharf awaiting the steamer.
The beach is twenty-seven miles
long. two hundred yards wide at
10 ' tide, and so hard that carriage
wheels scarcely leave a mark. t
is an ideal place for driving, riding,
wheeling or walking, and the surf
bathing is indispensable. The ex-
cellent hotels and boarding ,houses
provide good accommodations at
prices ranging from one to three
dollars per day.
