LARGE STANDING ARMY.
James j. Hill at Banquet in 81. Paaf
Advocates Strong Military
Force 20 Insure Peace.

At banquet given recently at ST. Paul
In honor Of Col. Pond. of the United
States army. James j. Hill was one Of the
principal speakers. He said:
Il am not oyerrating the demand when
| say that it is imperative that the Unit
ed States maintain the nucleus always,
and the organization and the officers for
an army of POO. 600 men. With our varied
interests, with our expanding commerce,
and with our ever-increasing power, this
/ strength is not more than sufficient for
our uses In times Of stress and danger.
However, that may be. am thoroughly
convinced that the United States should
maintain at all times an army of 100.-
900 thoroughly drilled. thoroughly dis
ciplined. thoroughly trained. and thor
oughly differed men.
THE people of the United States are
The government. Their word dictates.
But they are people of peace, and there
Is no way as sure to maintain and pro-
mote peace as to be prepared to fight for
II. We must have peace! for our in
dustrial and commercial growth and
peace we will have II we have TO fight
for II. Therefore, say that 100 900 men
should be always at hand to take the
field, with the knowledge always that
100000 can be at once brought forward
should the need arise"

ENGLAND NEEDS SCIENCE.
Sir Norman Lockyer Declares britain
Is Bcing Outstripped by Germany
and the United states.

The British Association of Scientists
Is to meet at Southport shortly under
the presidency of Sir Norman Lockyer.
The presidential address will deal with
national shortcomings as regards the
teachings of science. He intends TO
prove by means of statistics that Brit
ish industries and national life general
ly is suffering seriously from the neg
lect Of science In education. that Is from
want of properly equipped modern uni
versities. These, he says, are numer-
Gus and efficient in the United States
md in Germany.
Great Britain, therefore, must submit
TO be outstripped or have state aid COM
nensurate with what is given the other
countries.
Sir Norman Lockyer names s100, O00.-
300 as necessary, and maintains it would
be remunerative investment. for IL
means the difference between public
prosperity and adversely. He also
maintains the state should endow re-
search, which is pioneer work and
though often not directly remunerative
frequently points the way to results Of
great pecuniary value. Sir Norman does
not hope for good results unless strong
and continuous pressure is brought on
the government without regard to party
politics.

SUING FOR a STAR.
Dispute over Ownership of a Meteor
Causes n Uaigae Lawsuit
In Kentucky.

A unique suit has been filed in the
Bath county circuit court at Owings-
vile, Ky. II is for the possession Of
a meteor which fell on the lands be-
longing to the estate of the late F.
n. Ewing near that town. Thomas
j. Pergram found the meteor, and the
heirs of the Ewing estate brought suit
for its possession. alleging that as it
fell on their land it rightfully belongs
to them. Pergram has retained coun-
sci and says he will fight the case
to a finish. He was required To give
81. 900 bond while the suit is pending.
The meteor weighs about 800
pounds. and was the main body of the
big meteor which was seen on Novem-
Der Is. 1902. from New Orleans to
northern Ohio. Three pieces of the
meteor were seen to fall near here.
and two small pieces were found a
few days later. One weighing 12A
pounds was sold to Prof. Harry A.
Ward. of Rochester. N. Y, and Chi
cago, for $500. and he in turn dis
posed of II to the National Museum
at Washington, ID. c. The other
piece was sold to Kentucky State col
lege at Lexington. Several months
after the meteor fell Pergram was
hunting and found II on the side Of
mountain. almost buried by Its fall.
He knew what it was. and by help Of
sled carried IL to his home. Many
scientists have visited Pergram and
all have made offers. but he declined
them all. An eastern college offered
him $4,000 for the meteor. but he de-
clined that also. and had made ar
rangements to exhibit II at the St
Louis exposition. The case will be
tried at the October term Of circuit
court here.
In the case Of Goddard VS.. Win
chell In 1892. reported in Sc Iowa,
III. the court decided that meteor
was the property of the owner of the
land on which II fell. II being a nat
ural accretion. The two other cases
on record resulted the same way.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.


The board of trade and transporta-
ton of New York at its first post

on the falling of in our shipbuilding
and carrying business, in which, the
report says. there was loss of 5000
tons last year. while not one deep-sea
keel has been laid in an American

to put these facts before the people.
1t also adopted a resolution, submit
ted by Lewis Nixon, urging the in
dorsement of canal improvements.
President Straus read the following
letter written by President Roosevelt
to Aaron Vanderbilt anent the shipping
situation:
Hon Oscar s. Straus has forward

unnecessary for me to say how deeply
and anxiously I have studied the sit
uation of our shipping. shall go over
your letter with certain public men
who in the past have shown their great
concern in American shipping.
earnestly hope that We may be able
to devise some method that will ben

A Pretty Flau Game.

A very pretty and interesting game
may be played with a sheet of paper
or cardboard, on which are painted
the flags of all nations The sheet
may be prepared by any one that has
a little talent for drawing, and. though
it may entail some trouble, it will
doubly pay for yourself
1t is not hard to find colored pic
lures of the flags almost any good
gazetteer or big dictionary contains
such a sheet, They should be copied
in proper order on the paper or card
board and colored in water colors.
When the copying is done put a
number under each flag instead of the
name of the nation it belongs TO. and
hang the sheet on the wall where the
players may see it. Give a sheet Of
paper to each player, with the list of
the numbers written down the left
hand margin.
Now allot a certain time-say half
an hOur-within which the players are
to write opposite each number the
name Of the nation to which that par
ticular flag belongs When the time
has expired each player signs his or
her name to the list and hands it TO
the leader, who examines them all
and awards the prize to the one hay-
ing the most names right.
A miniature American flag. made OF
silk, would be a suitable prize to Of
fer.
