VICE-ADMlRAl MAKAROFF.
Death of the "Cossack of the Seas" a
Great Loss TO Russio.

The loss of the battleship Petro-
paYlovsk is trifiing misfortune to
Russia in comparison with the loss OF
Vice Admiral Makaroff The Czar has
none too many sea-fghters, and none
at all who are worthy TO rank with the
"Cossack of the Seas" Until Makaron
arrived at Port Arthur the Russian
naval operations We're characterized by
bunging and indeclson. No sooner had
he taken command than the remnants
of the fleet began an aggressive cam
paign that forced radical change In
the Japanese methods of operation.
Admiral Makaroff was appointed to
the command of the Russian Pacific
feet on Feb. 81. He was one of the
heroes of the fighting on the River
Danube during the Russo Turkish war.
Makaroff and Skrydloff, who have
since many times been hOnored by
their government, were at that time
lleutenants In the Russian navy and
volunteered to make night attack on
a powerful Turkish ironclad With
torpedo boat they succeeded in blow
ing UP the Turkish vessel and. IL was
claimed at the time, thereby made the
first successful demonstration of the
usefulness of torpedo boats in naval
warfare.
1t was Makarof who originated the
idea of constructing the famous ice
breaking steamer Ermak, which was
built ON the Tyne from his designs.
1t is the largest ice-crushing steamer
In the world. and has made several
trips into the Arctic regions.
Admiral Makaroff paid three visits
to the United States, the first In 1868
He made tour from California to
New York in 1896, and in March, 1898,
made flying visit to Detroit with a
party of Russians who were looking
into the possibilities of ice-crushing
steamers on the great lakes with the
end in view of constructing several for
| the Russian government.
Admiral Makaroff was born in 1S4S.

and as liutenant for six. During the

How to SIeeD,

1t is not uncommon to hear people
say 81 was too tired to slecp"-but it
is not generally known how great a
help it is at such times not to try to
Sleep but to go to work deliberately to
get rested in preparation for it. In
nine cases out of ten it is the unwill
ingness to lie awake that keeps us
awake We toss and turn and wish we
could sleep. We fret and fume, and
worry, because we do not sleep. We
think of all we have to do on the fol
lowing day and are oppressed with
the thought that we cannot do it II we
do not sleep. First. we try one expert.
ment to see if it will not make us
sleep, and when it fails, we try another
and perhaps another. In each expert
ment we are watching to see II it Will
work. There are many things to do,
any one of which might help us to
sleep, but the watching TO see If they
will work keeps us awake
When we are kept awake from our
fatigue, the first thing TO 90 is to say
over and over to ourselves that we do
not care whether we sleep or not, in
order to imbue ourselves with a
healthy indifference about It, 1t will
help toward gaining this wholesome in
difference to say Il am too tired to
sleep, and therefore, the first thing for
me to do Is to get rested in order to
prepare for sleep. When my brain is
wen rested, it will so to sleep; it cannot
help it. When it is well rested, it will
sleep just as naturally as my lungs
breathe, or as my heart beats."-Les-
lies Monthly.

A Detested Plant,

showing that consumption has more
than doubled during the past decade.
In the production and consumption of
pig iron, still more striking evidence
of industrial prosperity is found, for
while the production was less than
100000 tons ten years ago, it had
grown to 100000 tons in 1908. The
expectation at the end Of that time
amounted only to about $4,000 tons an
nually, showing that practically the en-
tire increase Of production was utilized
in home manufactures. At the same
time the exports of finished products of
iron and steel had increased from $780,
100000 in 1894 to $ll2,000,000 in 1904.
Figures of this character are eloquent
of the enormous increase in both the
productive and consumptive power of
the country, and Of the general pros
perity.
