Japanese navy had it's beginning In
1866 and under American instructors,
and they have gone on steadily In
~creasing their armored feet in addition
to building up an unarmored fleet, all
armed with the best rifled guns. The
first armored ship constructed for ia
pan was built on the Thames and was
launched in 1877, about six years be-
fore our new navy was begun. She
was the Foo-Soo and had a displace-

Boy. wanted to Fight Russians.

William Montgomery and Percy Hor-
ton of Greenport, N. Y, sixteen and
eighteen years old, recently drew their
money from the Southold Savings bank
and took a train for st. Louis. Two
other boys were to have gone with
them, but backed out at the last mo-
ment, says the New York Tribune.
Each left a letter for his mother, which
read:
Dear Motber-we start today for the
west. Will return nex fall.
The only clothes the boys carried
were those they wore. They had about
500 apiece. 1t is said the original In
tention of the boys was to cross the
continent, go thence to Japan and en-
list on a Japanese warship, in the hope
of participating in the war between
Japan and Russia.

Accordingly the youth appeared at

A few minutes later telegraph mes

perhaps tw%enty-four straight hours
they worked increasingly. And in the
