who formerly found It a burden. The
peoples of other lands have been taught
the virtue of maize and commercial
relations have made them steady Gus
toners. More and more each year Eu-
rope and Asia and Africa and South
America become dependent upon the
great farms of the United States.
More than one literary man who
prides himself upon his achievements
will be forgotten before the world
loses memory of George Alfred Henty,
the English writer of boys books. who
died the other day. Mr.. Henty did
good service In his generation. As "A
soldier and as war correspondent
ne had led an adventurous life all over
the earth: he knew the countries Of
which lie wrote. he had u fOndness for
facts. he hOnored the Old.fashiOned vir-
tues Of courage and integrity, and he
put information and inspiration as well
ms ''story" into his books. 1t IL no small
distinction to have provided instruction
and ideals for the boys of the English
race. Statesmen as well rs authors
might envy the man who was equal to
thWt work.

The deaf-ndler OF st. Augustine who
stopped one chr with his tull and press
ed the other Into the dust might take
notes In mctlcs from his up-to,date
namesake. Eleven men recently made
three hours trip In the new sub
marine torpedo boat; they travelled tif-
teen miles IN hour, eighteen feet un-
der the water, without once coming to
the surface. The captain steered by
the compass ana timed the turns Of
the boat by his watch. The Adder was
deaf to all noise but It's own electric
motor, ana blind to objects ten feet
away In the green water. 1t could
come to the surface, however, ut any
moment, to hear, see, and do deadly
work with its arms. Two of the seven
submarine torpedo boats, nearing COM
pletion, will probably be assigned for
the defense OF Washington, Annapolis,
Baltimore and neighborlng seaports.
