The announcement that the United
States will build battle ship of 49,
400 tons displacement, or about 1900
tons over the gigantic Dreadnought,
which has just been launched by King
Edward, Is possibly the forerunner of
a navy construction which will put all
previous exertions in this line in the
shade. Naval experts decline to ad-
NIT that the limit of size, combined
with effectiveness, has been reached.
The Dreadnought is perfectly practi-
cal ship; then why not one little
iargerf This is the argument of the
ship-building nations. But II there is
no limit upon the size of ships which
may be built there will be attained
one day another limit-that of the
pocketbook of the so-called naval pow
ers.

In Japan the railways have been
taken over by the state. This sounds
like tremendous national enterprise,
and SO 1t is. But the total mileage of
japanese railways Is less than five
thousand, and the gross earnings for
last year were only twenty-six million
dollars. There are several American
railroad systems that have mileage of
from five to ten thousand, and earn
ings of from fifty to more than a hun

CHAPTER III.

From the moment that the ragged
steersman opened his mournful gray eyes
and looked upon the sunburned face Of
Lieut.. Grace he had felt himself insensi-
bly, drawn toward his rescuer. This feel
ing was not the mere sense Of gratitude
which was naturally awakened, but some
thing stronger. 1t was almost a convic-
ton that this chance meeting on the deck
Of a fever-stricken ship was something
more than an incident. 1t was begin
ning-the beginning of a new influence
upon his life.
When Grace laid his sunburned hand
upon the sleeper's shoulder he had felt
pleasantly conscious of a contact which
had further import than mere warm fan
mel and living muscle. 1t was distinctly
sympathetic in Its influence, for there Is
a meaning in touch. As the two men
emerged on deck the officer turned to-
ward his companion.
"In another hour" he said, shat small
dog would have been dead"
"Ah! you've saved him?" exclaimed the
other.

Hes had no water since Tuesday"
"He looked rather like 1t. Come. We
will go on board my ship and report to
the old man, while you get a meal-some
soup l should think will be the best. You
will have to be careful"
He led the way aft, toward the rail
where the men, having found rope lad
der, were lowering 1t over the side. Be-
fore reaching them he turned.

ago-a Trinity man."
"Yes-there was"
Lieut.. Grace looked up In his singu-
lar, searching way.
"You are tho MANI"
II am the man."
With little nod the young officer con.
tinued his way. They did not speak
again until they were seated In the gig on
the way toward the Foam.

The rescued man acknowledged this
neat introduction with a grave nod.

was near at hand. The crew were group.

of voice requiring no reply.

"Yes, a SLAYER, and the quickest shir

IL Is an interesting Story tnaL comes
to us from Philadelphia how a little
boy who was to all appearances hope
lessly malicious has been made gentle,
kind and benevolent by a surgical oper-
alton. His name is Spurgeon Welty,
he is II years old and his home Is at
Nazareth, Pa. What the particular acts
of cruelty were which made him IA
burden to his family and a terror to
society we are not informed. but they
were ultimately traced to an injury to
his brain which he sustained several
years ago by falling from a hayrack
and striking his head Immediately over
the chronological organ-just back Of
and above the right ear-supposed to
represent conscience. After much de-
bate, no doubt, little Spurgeon was
taken to Philadelphia and there DR.,
Ernest La Place bored hole In his
skull over the injured portion, relieved
the pressure on the brain and forth
with the little patient became as
amiable as anybody's little boy In all
the world. About the chronological
element In this account we are skep-
teal. Phrenology can hardly be called
science now and 1t never can be a
science until the science Of mind is
assured. Until we have properly ana
lyzed our faculties and their relation
to each other 1t is useless to pretend
| to assign each Of them place In the
brain, and even then 1t is almost i'm
possible to assign 1t place on the
skull. That the human conscience has
any special relation to that part of
the brain behind and above the ears
is not at all likely, but that an abnor
NAL pressure upon that or any other
part of the brain may produce irrita
bility Of the temper and manifestations
of malice and rage Is too well known
tain many homicidal maniacs who have
been made such by injuries to the
skull. This should not be considered
wonderful when 1t is well known thai
even by such a gentle and transient
force as Is exerted by food and drinl
persons whole moral character may
be temporarily transformed. 1t Is ,
common thing for men to put thing
down their threats which cause then
to murder their wives and children o.
to plunge into immortality which Il
more unkind than murder itself. Nor l.
this all, for character-even mora
characters Influenced by everythin,
we see and hear. If we consider
mans moral character as the produc
of his nature multiplied by his habit
and experiences we shall have to max
his nature much the smallest factor
We have been called the creatures o
that. The most important value o
such speculations results from thcl
bearing on human accountability an
the punishment of crime. II we ar
the creatures Of circumstances Is any
thing that We do either morally RICH
or morally wrong? The answer Is tha
this is a question about words. Rlgh
and wrong actions remain what the
are In spite Of all theories. They still
excite our approval or dlsapproval, n
matter what we show about heredity
environment, immoral food and surg
cal operations. Right Is right an
wrong Is wrong and must be rewarde
and punished as such to the end o
time. Our moral instincts will AWAY

With lighter step he walked aft, and
climbed the brass-bound companion lad
der, while two Of the boats crew follow

Upon the upper deck he stopped sud
denly, and the color left his lips. There,
at the wheel, upon an ordinary kitchen
chair, sat man. His two hands clutch

prone upon his arms. A large Panama

wide, graceful brim touched his bent

Washington, Feb. THE last day
of the general debate on the railroad
rate bill in the house included speeches
by Bourke Cochran of New York;
Mann Of Illinois; Williams of Mississ-
ippi. and Hepburn Of Iowa. Cochran
was favorable to the bill which, how
ever. he does not think is panacea
for all evils He asserted the railway
influence predominated in both political
parties. He showed how representa-
tives of wealth ignored the courts and
dominated the state administrations.
"The very court which dropped the
proceedings AGAINST H. Fl. Rogers the
very next day issued a vigorous injunc-
ton against the striking printers" said
he.
In this connection he reviewed the
Northern Securities decision. What
was the result?" he asked.
1T was to reduce the control of these
properties from two to one. Hartman
was eliminated and Morgan was made
supreme. Stock which was selling at

PATTERSON ON

Denies Report Given Out
by New York
Paper

Washington, Feb. 7.--Senator Patter-
son today discussed at length his reso-
lution declaring against the policy OF
caucus dictation in disposing OF trea-
ties with foreign nations.
His resolution was introduced follow
ing the action OF the democratic eau
Gus declaring against ratification OF the
Santo Domingo treaty. He vehement
~ denied the charge OF a New York
newspaper that his action was the re.
suit Of an understanding with the
president and that an agreement on
Patterson's reelection and the tnstri-
button Of patronage had been reached.
He told OF his last meeting with the
president a month ago In which he In
formed Roosevelt that he (the presi.
denD had transcribed his authority IN
the matter Of forest reserves. He said
that his own request for an appoint-
ment had been refused by the presi-
dent. He expressed admiration for
Roosevelt In his efforts along econo-
mic lines. which he said deserved sun
port.
He strongly condemned the principle
of caucus action insofar as II distated
final action or the vote of member OF
congress, declaring 1t tended to deprive
the individual OF his independence ana
made a monitor of his own convictions
ana that the caucus Is equivalent to
declaring the senators dishonest and
that the senator's who could not be
reached through this reason would be
reached through fear
