something entirely new and original

naval constructors 10 win his approba-

This desire for still bigger ships has
been created by the development of the
fact that England's three mighty ships

cruiser are really a new type OF battle
ship, a decided Improvement over any
thing yet put in the water. They are OF
less draught than the DreadnOught but
decidedly swifter and OF even greater
fighting strength The advantage OF such
ships over the preadTuUght and the
new American monster as being plan
ned is easily seen. So England's great
strides in battleship-building may mean
the revolution of the American Navy.

plans were authorized last winter, ls 10

demand that she be called the "Constt-

other names.

Bouaparte wants all the Information
brought directly TO him.
Special interest also attaches 10 the
gun trials that We're recently conducted
on the DreadnOuEht The unprecedented
feat of firing eight heavy guns from a
shin all together, was accomplished. and
they are of a new and specially power

the American navy would ike 10 know

An important and inter esting book has
been W ritten by the Rev. C.. T. Wilson in
Peasant Life in the Holy Land (E. p.
Dutton and Company. The author spent
man years in Palestine as q missionary,
but In his objective description Of the people
among whom he lived he has left out care
fully tho religious side, 30 that the reader
has only the title page and the preface to
warn him that q clergyman is speaking. He
has no theories as to what the fellahin should
be; he simply tells what he saw they were,
describing their beliefs. their OF
life, their occupations and labors and amuse-
ments. Every phase Of peasant life is
described vividly, and the story is enlivened
with inoidents and accounts Of customs and
superstitions. 1t Is an admirable piece Of
work, and is illustrated by many good
photographs.

For pure, hearty fun, with plenty Of out

acter, the summer reader will find nothing
better than Mr.. Joseph C. Lincoln's Mr..
Pratt" "a, 8. Barnes and Company. The
Cape Cod people, though toned down a
little, are still true to life; there is charming
satire Of the effect Of charity work on well
meaning young women and there are hits
at a few other popular delusions. The
youths of Manhattan are rather oonven-
tional, but they serve chiefly for contrast.
The story reads easily to the very'endrand

lightness Of touch since he tackled 'Cap'n

He acknowledges, however, that he has
yielded to a pernicious temptation; he
