Al Honor to The Annl..

The apple is a splendid fruit, al
though particular specimens Of It are
bum. The different varieties have q
pronounced individuality. The per.
sonal equation is prominent. The diff
ference between the Porter and the
Baldwin-each genealogical star Of
the first magnitude-is as marked as
the difference between a Connecticut
bank clerk and Kentucky colonel.
The man who invented or discovered
the Baldwin conferred on humanity
boon and he did more to tickle the
palate than has ever been realized.
OF many uses Is the apple capable.
Whether 1t Is eaten raw or converted
into sauce or made the basic element
of pie or subjected to other forms of
artistic treatment by the American
housewife 1t serves a useful and i'm.
portant purpose.
History has never done adequate
justice to the apple. Poets have never
adequately celebrated in song the vir-
tues of the fruit. Political econom-
lists have never fully recognized the
full part that the apple plays in the
affairs of men. But apple day Is here
at last.

sions nearly as much as is appro-
priated each year by Great Britain,
France and Germany for the support
Of their immense standing armies.
In making the comparison between
the naval estimates for the present
year put in by the respective navy
departments of the United States,
Great Britain, France. and Italy, it is
seen that Great Britain, whose navy
is about five times as great as that
of the United States. leads with an
estimate of e31,S69,500, and the
United States comes second with
e24.980,110. The second greatest
navy in the the world. with respect
to numbers is that Of France, but the
estimates of the French navy depart.
ment for it's navy for the present
year amounted to only a13,001, SIT.
Germany estimated e12,401,115
which is only about half Of what was
estimated by the United States for its
navy, which is about the SAME
strength and size as that Of Germany.
The Italian naval estimates for the
present year amounted to only 45,-
570,15S. The past year has seen a
general decrease in the appropria-
tons made by foreign countries for
their naval establishments. but the
United States has continued to ad.
vance in the amount appropriated,
Notwithstanding the fact that the new
naval appropriation act does not
carry any definite appropriation for
the new warship construction.
In its 1906 edition the Naval An.
nual, published by T. A. Brassey,
who is generally considered the
greatest living naval expert, has this
to say of the United States navy:
The growth Of the United States
navy has been rapid. although latter.
ly there has been some retardation,
and 1t is now one of the most i'm
