A CenttryS Progress in NaNal Gm>Cecy

r IMAGINE John Paul Jones, Admiral Nelson or \ any of the famous old sea fighters of century \ or more ago brought face to face with the
 possibilities and probabilities of modern naval confict-surprise would paralyze them, doubtless.
 For the progress of a hundred years has been demonstrated no more forcibly than upon the sea, and the seas fighting forces have contributed most largely to the history of that progress.
 When the admirals of the past sought to grap- pie the enemy and to pour in broadsde after broad side at mere cables length, they little imagined that warships of the future would fight, and fight effectively, at ranges varying from five to twenty five miles,
 They were proud when the wooden huNs of their ships resisted the penetration of cannon balls fired from the range of pistol shot; what would they think of concal shell that penetrated nine inch steel armor at distance of six miles, and would do more or less damage when thrown dis tance of twenty-five miles?

USES TAIL AS BAIT

Guests of the Mill River hotel at Rldgeaeld. Conn, were treated to a novel sight when a dog after battle of half an hour dragged 2 thirty-three pound snappmg turtle from the water.
 Nero. who is owned by the proprie- tor of the hotel, is cross between a Newfoundland and a St. Bernard and weighs l65 pounds. He was taking Q swim in the water near the hotel bringing in sticks and bits of wood thrown by one of the women patrons. when the turtle seized him by the tip of the tail
 The dog turned, and all the visitors saw was a churning of the waters. Then 1t was seen that while Nero had a turtle the turtle also had him. En' couraged by the shouts from the ve- randa, the dog fought his way slowly to land.
 He came in circles, his teeth fasten- ed in one of the turtles flippers and the turtle with its jaws in death grip on the dogs tail
 It was necessary to cut of the tur- ties head to release the dog. And from the wound in his tall and scratches made by the fins of the turtle Nero was unhurt but very exhausted dog.
