NAvlES OF THE WORLD.

A recent number of the Scien.

ing review Of the naval strength OF
the leading nations of the world
which has an important bearing OH
the pending crisis in international
affairs. The author explains that
naval strength is difficult to csti-
mate for the reason that it is nee
essary to include not only the ships
in actual service, but also those
partially completed, which might
be rushed through in case of EN-
ergency. And the subject cannot
be dismissed with the statement
that so many ships are building,

The navy of Italy is not included
in either group, because it is moi
certain which way her interests
and sympathy would lie. But
even if she were held fast with
Germany, her strength could moi
overcome the immense superiority
of the first group, superiority
that is made much more effective
by the fact that the two great ma
tions of it speak the same language,
are organized along similar lines,
and have the advantage of superior
size and speed of individual ships.
Add to this the advantages of the
American and British coaling sta
tions, dockyards, harbors of refuge
and fortified stations throughout
the world, and it would appear that
the Anglo-American combination
would be irresistible, at sea, even
without the assistance of Japan.
But such a combination would
be possible only in case Of world
wide war affecting Americas vital
interests.
Not for sentiment and not for
prejudice will Americas armies
march to the field of battle, or
American fleets put on their war
paint.
And certainly not to play Eng
lands game, or to block the pro-
gress of friendly nation that
threatens none Of our interests will
such step be taken.
Only to secure our own welfare
and to promote our own vital in
terests will our military strength
be called into action, and if it is
used in conjunction with any other
power, it will be because we have
interests in common, and because
by cooperation more beneficial re-
suits can be reached, for ourselves.

ST. NICHOLAS HIS BONES.

the "Children's Saint"
Bari and Venice have always dis
puted as to which of them possesses
the authentic bones of st. Nicholas.
but there would seem to be no doubt
in the mind of the Russian general,
Bagdonovitch, who on seeing them of.
fered the cathedral of Bari 100000
rubles (about G105,OO0) for them.
with the intention of taking them to
Russia, where this saint is extraordi-
narily popular. 1t appears that Gen.
Bagdonovitch was visiting Bari when
he saw the relics, which are at the
bottom of a species of well, the bones
being crossed and water springing
from them continually. He became
very thoughtful, and then exclaimed,
81 will give you 100000 rubles for
them" When those present smiled,
thinking that he was Joking. he re-
peated his offer several times, but, of
course. it was Refused. The present
czar. as czarowitch, visited the same
relics while the cathedral was the
scene Of Queen Helena's abjuration of
the orthodox creed and her CONVERSION
to Roman Catholicism. 1t is thought
that the matter will not end here. and
that the general will make further eff.
forts to secure the bones, but, Of
course, he has no chance of success.
