But still he scratched away:
When he had made his pile, he said,

Yet, while the songs of Springtime
The souls of lovers stirred,

And summers fed, and winters.

And bowed his busy head

Nay-'tis thought absurd

OUR RISE IN SEA POWER.
Second in Battleships and Cruisers,
Built and Building.

Year by year for the last two decades
Brassey's Naval Annual has recorded
the pretty steady rise of the United
States from an all but negligible place
to a leading and commanding status
among the naval powers of the world
and the latest issue of that invaluable
handbook makes in our behalf the most
impressive showing Of ALL 1t was a very
few years ago that the United States
was contending with Italy, Japan and
Russia for fifth, sixth or seventh place in
the list. This year it far outclasses those
powers, and even France and contends
with Germany for second place with an
assured prospect Of winning that conten-
ton in the near future, if, indeed, it has
not already done 80.
In all classes of vessels Great Britain
easily leads the world In first class bat
tleshlps now in commission Germany
stands second by small margin over the
United States, which is an easy third.
But In such vessels built and building the
United States considerably surpasses
Germany. At the end of 1906 we shall
have 10 to Germany's 20; at the end of
1907 we shall have % to her %. and at
"a. That majority of only one ship does
not appear great, but it's actual macni-
tude appears when we note the aggregate
tonnage Of each feet, for our Is ships
will have tonnage of 333, SAT. while
Germany's "A will have only 256,557
tons. In the highly important class of
hrst-class cruisers American superiority
Is much more emphatically marked. Built
and building. Germany has only seven
such ships, of g. 64 tons, while we have
fifteen, Of 1866 tons. In this class
France has a slight numerical superiority
over US, but IS inferior in tonnage. her
sixteen ships measuring only 1879
tons. In battleships and cruisers of all
classes, built and building, our title to
second place among the navies of the
world seems secure with seventy-fve yes
sells to Germany's sixty-nine, the ninety
three of France consisting so largely of
the smaller sizes as e fall much below
ours in actual strength.

IRON PILLAR OF DELHI
Tradition Says It Was Erected by tho
Founder of the romara Dynasty.

The famous iron pillar of Delhi, In
da, is solid shaft Of wrought iron
sixteen inches in diameter, and Of 4
length that is variously reported. The
total height above ground is twenty
two feet, including capital of three
and half feet. Major G. A. Cunning
ham, K. E., c. S. l., director general
Of the archaeological survey Of India,
reported in 1863 that the total length
of the pillar is upward Of forty eight
feet, and possibly sixty feet.
The lower diameter is GA inches and
the upper diameter 13.5 inches. The
pillar contains about eighty cubic feet
Of metal and weighs about seventeen
tons. The metal was for long time
reputed to be bronze, owing probably
TO a curious yellOwish shade on the
upper part. A sample from near the
base was Analysed by DR.. Murray
Thompson, und found to be pure NAL
leable iron of 7.G6 specific gravity.
The metal is, of course, charcoal iron,
made directly from the ore in small
billets, but how it was welded up no
one can tell, as no record exists Of
any early method Of dealing with
great masses Of wrought iron.
An inscription, roughly cut or punch
ed upon the column, states that Rajah
Dhara subdued a people in the Surdhu,
named VahlikOs, and obtained with his
own arm an undivided sovereignty on
the earth for long period. The date
of the inscription has been referred to
the third or fourth century after
Christ; but on this authorities are at
variance, as the style of writing is
supposed by some to belong to a later
period
According to tradition, the iron pill
lar was erected by Bilan Dec, the
founder of the Tomara dynasty, who
was assured by a learned Brahmin
that, as a part of the pillar had been
driven so deep into the ground that it
rested on the head of Vasuki, king Of
serpents, who supports the earth, it
was now immovable, and that domin-
ion would remain in his family as long
as the pillar stood. The rajah, doubt
ing the truth of the Brahmin's state
ment. ordered the pillar to be dug
up, when the foot was found to be
wet with blood Of the serpent king.
The pillar was again raised, but ow
ing to the rajah's incredUity, no
means could be found to fix it firmly,
and it remained loose (dhila) in the
ground, and this is said to have been
the origin of the name Of the an
cient city of Delhi.

Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak
State Uses DR.. Williams Pink Pills
with Gratifying Results.
After fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run its full course there remains
the recovery Of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
lar nothing has ever been produced su-
perior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been Ill with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.

iams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anamia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines so many virtues.
