necessary to develop high speed, OF
the greater bunker capacity essentia
to wider steaming radius. They point
out that in the Dreadnaught it was at
tempted to preserve two of these
factors, gun power and speed, but that
to do so it was necessary to sacrifice
the armor protection, which they be-
lieve such battleship should have,
No Limit to Cost.
No sacrifice in armament, speed, or
steaming radius will have to be made
in designing the new Constitution.
The only limitation placed upon the
Secretary of the Navy by the Naval
Affairs Committee is that her hull and
machinery shall not cost more than
$G,0O0,0O0. The provision for the bat
tleships Michigan and South Carolina,
now the largest ships building for the
navy, was $4,000,0O0 each, and there
is no doubt in the minds of the men,
bers of the committee that If the
Secretary decides to 60 to 10000 tons
or beyond, the extra 100000 now
provided will easily accomplish it.
1t is estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where in the neighborhood of $780,
600 in addition to the hull and ma
chinery, and that other fittings will
bring the total for the new Constitu-
ton up approximately to $1O,O00,OOO.
The Dreadnaught is planned to
carry ten Pinch rifles. The Michi-
gan and South Carolina are to carry
eight 12-inch guns. The Dreadnaught
will be able to concentrate six guns
for bow or stern fire, with eight on
either broadside. while the American
ships can use four guns dead ahead or
dead astern, and all eight ahead or
astern on quartering fire, with all
eight on either broadside. So that in
point of fire they are nearly as eff
ficient as the Dreadnaught, which ex-
cells materially only in the single
point of speed. To counterbalance
his the American ships have the de-
cided advantage in armor protection

terested in the work. and who heart
lily approves it, in common with the
other members Of the family. All Of
the millions she has expended for In
dian education have been employed
under direction of Che Interior Depart
ment, as her long study of the Indian
problem is recognized to have made
her one of the best authorities on the
subject in the country.
II Planned the Buildings Personally.
" The st. Louis and st. John schools
at Pawhuska, both founded by Mother
Katherine number of years ago, are
good examples of the work she is do
ing for the education of the Indians.
Both have handsome and cOmmodious
buildings, planned personally by
Mother Katherine, and have given
hundreds of Usage children their first
knowledge Of the white mans learning.
Many of the teachers are themselves
Indians, graduates of these or similar
schools, who have entered with en-
thusiasm into the education of their
fellow tribesmen. The Usage schools
receive some assistance from the gov
eminent, and their scope is greatly
widened by the orders now in effect
from the agents office that every
Usage child of school age must be in
school in order to draw its share at
the annuity payments.
Used Indian Labor.
While Mother Katherines benefac-
lions have always been liberal, it is
her plan to let the Indians do the work
whenever possible, in the construction
of buildings and work Of a similar
character. When the Sacred Heart
school burned five years ago, and was
rebuilt Pottawatomie and Kickapoo
Indians made the brick for the new
structure, and did much of the work
towards it's construction, working, of
course, under the direction of white
contractor. Much Of the maintenance
of this school, which is claimed to be
the Oldest west of the Mississippi river,
is borne by Mother katherine, and it
was by her visits to this school that
she discovered Albert Negahnquet, the
fullblood Pottawatomie boy educated
BY her, and who is now the only full
blood Indian Catholic priest in the
world. After his graduation at Sacred
Heart, she paid his expenses through
Carlisle and the Catholic university at
Washington, finally finishing his edu-
cation at Rome, from whence he re-
turned only two years ago, to take up
his work among his own people.

known being the Nazareth Institute al
Muskogee, which was founded in 1891.
1t was beset by many difficulties dur
ing it's earlier years, but survived them
all and is now flourishing institution.
The institutions which have pros
pered the most, and in which Mother
Katherine has taken the greater inter-
est, are, however, naturally these
among the tribes which were already
under the influence of Catholic teach
ings, the Osages and the Potta-
watomies. The Osages had of course
been instructed in the Catholic faith,
before their removal from Southern
Kansas, by the fathers at the old
Usage missions, now st. Paul, first I'M
der the directions of the venerable
Father Schumacher, and later under
Father Paul Ponziglione, near rela-
tive of the royal family of Italy, who
made many journeys among the
Osages after their removal to the terri
tory. Father Scroll. of Independence,
Kan, also used occasionally to follow
the trails through what is now Okla
homa as far west as Fort Sill.
The beginning Of the work among
the Pottawatomies was also made as
far back as 1871. when Father Robot,
a French missionary, offered his SER
vices to the bishop of Little Rock, who
then had jurisdiction over this terri
tory, and struck out into the Indian
country. He settled first at Atoke, but
in 1874 moved to Sacred Heart, found
ing the famous abbey of the Benedic-
tines there, which is the only mon

been made, as nature has done sc
much and man so little.
More than 1000 square miles, OF
2, 100000 acres, of land still remain
ployed and unimproved, waiting
for capital and brains to make it yield
large returns. The resources are al
most beyond limit or belief.
Thousands of Lakes and Rivers.
In this state alone there are over
five thousand rivers and streams with
more than fifteen hundred lakes as
reservoirs, to furnish power for in.
Vulnerable manufacturing plants.
Besides natural water power, Maine
is rich in timber, which in this age
is most valuable asset.
The timber lands of northern Maine
can, with judicious management, be
made to yield for generation after
generation and supply vast amount
of lumber and wood pulp. The larg-
est paper mill in the world, is located
at Millinocket on small branch of
the Penobscot River where drop or
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
$4,000 horsepower. From this mill
is turned out each day between 100
and 1870 tons of newspaper, made from
wood pulp.
It is commonly supposed that paper
making from wood-pulp is one of
the greatest menaces to our forests,
but exactly the opposite is the case,
where the forests are handled intelli-
gently.
The modern policies adopted by
many paper makers in regard to per-
petuating the forests are doing much
for the cause Of forestry.
One Maine company has secured the
ownership of 100000 acres of forest

The limits in the construction of such
a furnace are easily seen. When the
wick is raised little the combustion
is greater than the capacity of the
furnace, and smoke results. When the
chimney is raised from the bottom too
much cold air enters, the fire is chilled,
and again we have smoke,

LARGEST BATTLESHIP.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE

to be Saved.
One hundred thousand dollars TO
the preservation Of the old frigat
Constitution, and $1000O,OOO for tn
construction of huge new battleshii
of the same name are two provisions
to be included in the naval appropria
ton bill.
The new Constitution is to be tn,
most powerful ship of war af1oat. Sh'
will excel the British Dreadnaugh
recently launched by King Edward by
as much as the Dreadnaught will ex
eel anything afloat when she is com
pleted. Her authorization may be
said to be directly the result Of Togo's
victory in the Sea of Japan. 1t was
the British naval attache on board
Togo's flagship who hurried home
after that battle and warned the Ad
miralty Of the needs. of the British
navy, and this brought about the con-
struction of the Dreadnaught. Now
we are to follow and eclipse the Brit
ish naval wonder.
The Navy Department has secured
full information concerning the plans
of the Dreadnaught, and the arrange
ment of her powerful armament, so
that it is known exactly what umst be
done to beat her.
In order that the department may
not be t. lmpered in any way in deter
mining upon the plans of the new Con-
stitution the forthcoming bill will pro-
vide that the Secretary of the Navy
may use the contingent fund to secure
information from ship-builders the
world over, if he so desires, before
finally accepting the design of the ten
million-dollar pacifier.
Provisions for Ship,
This provision for the new American
sea fighter is in line with the desire

he has since come around to the side
of the President, and is now heartily
in favor Of the committee proposition.
The naval experts in Washington
have long been convinced that the

South Carolina, authorized by the last
Congress- represent the limit of posi-
bility on a displacement not decidedly
greater. To go beyond, in any APP
probable degree, the fighting efficiency
Of such ships, it will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arma-
