IN favor OF the continuance of the poll
icy Of building up our navy. If we
stopped now we would be left behind
the leading countries of the world
TIE American people will not in
dorse th@ policy of sacrificing the
American navy for internal improve
ments nor is there any such necessity.
Foremost and above ali must stand
considerations OF national defense,
maintenance of our foreign policies and
protection of American citizens every

Buia Matari.

1t is very fitting that the native
name for Stanley, "Bula Matari,'
should form part of the inscription
on his coffin. 1t means, We believe.
"The Rock Breaker" and expresses
the African conception of the high
est kind of physical power. To the
great majority of the natives with
whom he came in contact Stanley
was an entirely superhuman being,
and yet he was not, physically
speaking, particularly strong man.
1t was his extraordinary will power
which made him appear of gigantic
strength to men who could easily
have picked him up and carried him
in their arms.-London Globe.

London and Paris Cabs.

The statement made by the Figa-
70 to the effect that 1000 Paris
cabs are to be provided with auto
matte time and distance registers
directs attention to the comparative
conservatism of English cab pro-
prietors. 1t is somewhat surpris-
ing fact that, although rubber tired
cabs appeared in London at time
when public conveyances in Paris
ran scarcely more smoothly than
country wagons, the great majority
of London cabs are still tired with
metal, whereas it is impossible in
Paris to hire cab which is not fit
ted with pneumatics. As for time
and distance registers, one fears
that they must be regarded as be-
yond the widest dreams of the Lon
doner's ambition.-London Globe.

Another ridiculous food fad has

PEELED the silly notion that one

another for muscle, and still al

will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion

EmbaImina In Glass.

In order to preserve the features
of those who have died it is pro-
posed by a Russian to embalm
corpses by casting around them a
solid mass of glass. This would be
perfectly transparent, and, as no
air could get in, the features would
be preserved indefinitely. Of course
it is not possible to pour molten
glass directly on the body, so it is
first coated with a thin coating OF
so called "iquid glass;" or sodium
silicate. This is allowed to harden
and forms a protective coating. The
body is then put in mold and melt
ed glass poured around it. When
this is hardened, we have a solid
transparent mass inclosing the
body.
The inventor of this process
hopes that some day we will have
large museum filled with the per-
fectly preserved bodies of the great
men of their times for future gen,
erations to gaze upon.-Collier'

THREW LATIN All Fem.

A Baltimore lawyer presumed
upon his hearers total ignorance OF
Latin when, in arguing a case in
part three of the city coRrt recently,
he used the phrase, 'De mortuis NIL
nisi.. 10. u" W,;ch, a.; is well
known, means in English, Speak
nothing but good CT the dead" ne
suit was against the estate of dead
woman, and the lawyer who was de-
Tending it told the jury that the
phrase quoted meant in English,
freely translated, "Where the car
rion is there the vultures vii gath
err"
Judge Bacr heard and understood
the quotation, but merely looked
surprised at the lawyers interpreta-
ton without saying anything. The
LAWYER on the other side Of the case
is said to have admitted that he did
not know the English meaning OF
the phrase. Whether the jurors un-
derstood it or not is unknown. They
returned verdict, however, against
the lawyer who misquoted Latin for
a much larger amount than he
thought would possibly be rendered
against him. He had an idea that he
might win the case. - Baltimore
