If we would at- tain our highest and best destiny, put more important than this Is eAe ih culcation of those moral precepts anu Christian principles which crown the highest and best civilization.

 "We compare our country ana us history with other countries and their history, and are encouraged by the comparison. You who are fresh rom your books have become familiar With the history of the world. We began to write our history but few years ago. 1t Is a splendid history. We nnd mo- where a better one. We have made incomparable progress in the mechani- cal and fine arts. We have added to the wealth of the literature of the world. We have contributed some Of the greatest names among the world foremost soldiers and statesmen. we have won many triumphs in the cause of liberty. We have several times drawn the sword to make men free. but we never yet stained 1t by drawing 1t to enslave, and. in Gods province, we never will. The story of our own progress Is full of inspiration and mo- bIe endeavors. American history Is rich with splendid deeds in the eleva- tion and progress of mankind. From the beginning until now we have gone forward and upward. and today we stand stronger than ever in the re- gard of the civilized world. Our in stitutions were never more firmly set nor stronger than now"

with the instructions to the naval board on constructions, there were sub mitted various designs and sketches for the proposed vessels from shipbuilders and the naval construction. These were in turn submitted to a naval com mfttee on designs, the head of which was Assistant Secretary Newberry, which board reported that the 51o-foot design of the bureau of construction (with officers quarters forward), was the most suitable. This board gave the opinion that vessel constructed on this design would carry as heavy ar nor and as powerful armament as any known vessel of this class, wol.ld have a speed believed to be the highest practicable for a vessel of this type and class, and have the highest practicable readiness of action with total coal bunker capacity of about 2,300 tons, speed on trial of twenty-one knots, a length on the load water line of about 510 feet, and an extreme breadth Of about S5 feet 2 5-S inches. The arma- ment is to be composed as follows:
 Main battery, ten twelve-inch breech loading rifles.
 Second battery:-Fourteen 5-inch rap i'd fire guns; four 3-pound saluting guns; four 1-pounder semi-automatic guns; two 3-inch field pieces; two ma chine guns, calibre 50; two supmerseo torpedo tubes.
 The hulls of the vessels are to De protected by water line belt of armor eight feet in width. whose maximum thickness is eleven inches and whose cross section is uniform throughout the length of the belt
 The arrangement of the main pat tery guns is to be such as to permit a broad side fire twenty-five per cent greater than that of the broadslde lire of any battleship built, or so far as known under construction. The aver age elevation of the axis of these guns is expected to be greater than that or any knowr battleship, thus arfording a distinct advantage in long range firing under all conditions of weather.

telling about the mysteries of the
treasure vaults of the ancient Span
iards. A picture %purporting TO show

from a postal card hat he purchased
at Silver City. The postal card was
produced and showed that the real
inscription saying that it was a view
of Chihuahua hill. nca Silver city,
had been crossed out. Lindsey smtl-
ingly admitted that this place WAS at
least eight miles from the cave of the
company. Another ~purporting to
show "Old Workings in an Ancient
Spanish Mine" he forgot where he
had obtained, but was quite sure that
1t wasn't the workings of the cave.

of the Pan-Amcrican World and other
publications. He said he had sub
mitted a copy of his work to Black

the passages in II had been changed

ancient legend apply in "A flattering
