Where Our NAVY Stands.

The United States navy is in ton
mage, fourth; in battleships, fifth
in armored cruisers, seventh; in
submarines, fifth; in torpedo boat
destroyers, sixth. Rather a sorry
show, but figures will not lie. For
example, the japanese are seventh,
inferior to Great Britain, France,
Germany, the United States, Italy
and Russia (before the cataclysm) in
number of battleships And yet the
japanese, who are also well to the
bottom of the list in torpedo boats
and destroyers, are able to give a
very good account of themselves on
the sea and in a sea fight.
And in two years the United
States will have twenty-five battle
ships instead of twelve and twelve
great armored cruisers instead of
two.-Everybody's.

VOL CANOES IN MARYLAND.

Professor Philip r. Uhler returns
10 .he city with the report OF a dl5-
coyerv which he made in the west
al. Maryland mountains. Three
peaks, the principal one named
euzzard's knob, crown plateau
about six miles from the city. Ii
was for Professor Uhler to discover
that the three prominences are IN
fact volcanoes and that they are the
very Oldest type of volcanic rock
Thai is found in the United States.
These peaks are of a different
form from volcanoes like Nesuylus.
In the latter form of volcano molten
lava and stones are forced up by
'superheated steam, leaving a deep
hole, but in these craters IN western
MARYLAND the whole mountain was
originally in molten condition,
and the top crust was forced upward
in a dome shaped form, and such
lava as did escape was forced out in
vents at various places. The vol
canic rock Of the region is metal
bearing, and specimens Of gray,
green and gold copper were found
bv DIR. Uhler. The domes of the
craters were somewhat elliptical in

What Gave the Earth It's MotionH

You have oftS asked or had the
question asked of YOU what gave the
earth its daily motion. and how is the
force of that motion kept up?' but have
never been really satisfied with the an
swer given or the reasons therefor
which you We're able to advance in ex-
PLANTATION. The astronomers are not
even agreed upon this question Some
of them claim that the Original initial
centrifugal force was directed in a
line slightly to one side of the center
of the globe, which would, of course
cause the earth to rotate upon It's axis,
and by the law of inertia of matter
must continue to revolve at uniform
rate of speed. This "law of the inertia
of matter" is to the effect that matter
once set in motion must continue to
move until arrested by some outside
force. Others claim that the motion Is
a compound resultant of the motion of
the earth in its orbit and the attraction
of the sun"

The reason that Il man sees double
